Can't fly

Chapter 45

The plum blossoms in the Wetland Park are in full bloom, and it looks like a powder mist from the upper floors of the Xincheng Mansion.

After the beginning of spring, the weather has improved a lot, but it is drier than in winter, and the humidifier has to be turned on indoors.The sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was white, and the sky was also gray.

The crew of "Falling into the Water" held the first script reading on Yushan Road.

This is also the first time Fang Fei sees Shen Jue in person.

Because he has been nominated for enough acting awards and was recognized by the Berlin Film Festival a year ago, the domestic media has always liked to call Shen Jue "the first brother", jokingly calling him the "top of the 30th generation fault" in the Chinese-speaking world.But Shen Jue himself was not brilliant, he was sitting in a corner wearing a black overcoat, and when the others didn't show up, he just stared at the water glass in front of him.

Yang Yuanyi greeted: "Brother Jue."

Shen Jue was two years older than him, so he accepted the word "brother" calmly, and greeted the people around Yang Yuanyi: "Fang Fei? I heard Director Yang mentioned it many times, hello."

It was similar to meeting the rumored character Fang Fei and holding back his nervousness for fear of being speechless, but at this moment he really saw Shen Jue and was fine.

He touched the back of the leather chair, concealing his embarrassment, and said "Hello, Mr. Shen" to Shen Jue.

In addition to Shen Jue, other key supporting actors participated in the script reading, as well as director Wan Chenyun, screenwriter Ye Xiehui, and Cheng Shu, who did not participate because of Yang Yuan's intentions.Fang Fei looked around these people, and unexpectedly found that one of them was a familiar face.

"Xiao Fang, we haven't seen each other for several years, right?" The man shook hands with him earnestly.

Fang Fei laughed relaxedly: "Brother Wang, why didn't you tell me in advance if you want to participate in the show? I also have a mental preparation."

"Hey, what are you preparing for! They are all acquaintances."

Wang Hongyu is indeed one of the few acquaintances he has in the entertainment industry.

The last time they remembered contact was after the Golden Olive Awards Ceremony of "Absurd Stories". Wang Hongyu saw that he was not feeling well, and together with Shen Can sent Fang Fei to the hospital for hanging water.

The contact information has been kept, and the Weibo is also related to each other. Wang Hongyu even reposted news about him several times.

It's just that everyone has been busy in their own way these years. Fang Fei has met him several times, but they haven't talked much.

Wang Hongyu and the heroine Shen Can came together because of "Absurd Stories". The two have been in a long-distance love race for five years. Although they have not yet officially married, judging from the daily life shared by Shen Can, it seems that they have already achieved positive results.

However, compared to Shen Can's career and love, Wang Hongyu is more indifferent to fame and fortune.He was very casual in filming, and Fang Fei also thought that Wang Hongyuzhi was not acting. Unexpectedly, he would participate in "Falling Water" this time.

"I came here for Brother Jue." Wang Hongyu said carelessly, "Brother Jue is my spiritual idol!"

After Shen Jue heard this "brother", he made a gesture to throw the script on his head.

After a gag, Wan Chenyun organized a round-up reading, which was a bit like stating a biography of a character, adding a lot of understanding and design, and then communicated together.

"...'Dumb' is a marginalized person who does not agree with the views of the top police force. He uses his own method to avenge his comrades who have died. , have ordinary but fierce love and hate, and complete the mission driven by it."

Shen Jue cleared his throat, took a sip of water, and finished speaking.

"This 'driver' is very interesting. We'll see how it performs during the actual shooting." Wan Chenyun took notes, and finally looked at Fang Fei expectantly, "A Jiang, it's your turn."

Everyone's eyes were on his body, Fang Fei's throat hurt slightly, but he quickly calmed down.

This is not the first time I have to face script reading, as long as I express what I think, there is no right or wrong.He recalled Yang Yuanyi's reminder, and slowly opened the memo he had written.

"'Jiang' joined the gang at the beginning to make a living. His mother was seriously ill, his father ran away, and his younger brother also got an infectious disease and disappeared. He lost his last support in the world and became a walking dead in the underground where crime is everywhere. Survive the world..."

"...Why did he walk into the sea of ​​fire? 'A Jiang' lived in the water for too long, and 'fire' was his light. He probably thought about the meaning of being alive, but he knew that 'dumb' living must be more useful than himself To a certain extent, this may be the end of his regret that he was unable to complete that year."

The meeting room was quiet for a moment, Fang Fei was at a loss, and only looked at Yang Yuanyi who was sitting in the farthest corner.

The latter raised his eyes and nodded slightly to him.

"Hmm...a lot of things I haven't thought about, such as the metaphor of water and fire..." Ye Xiehui took the lead to break the silence, "However, your interpretation filled in many places that were not clearly written in the script."

"That's right." Actor Tu Rui also said, "In this way, his sudden mentality change can also be explained."

Ye Xiehui scratched his hair: "It seems that I have to change it again..."

"You'd better go follow the group, young master."

Ye Xiehui glared at the person who said this: "I didn't say no!"

Noisy, the atmosphere became active again.

The reading of the script brought the whole crew closer, especially the actors who were not familiar with each other before, so they also began to invite each other to drink.Probably felt that the effect was good, and Wan Chenyun later continued the reading until the film officially started.

In the early spring, "Falling into the Water" officially started filming, and was filmed in Rong County.

Producer is no stranger to Yang Yuanyi. He was the first to make movies, but he actually did odd jobs with various crews.After accumulating experience, Chen Yusheng helped him introduce Xie Chuan's "Jiangcheng Pursuing Murder", so he began to try to produce for the first time.

At that time, Lan Zhihua was indeed right. The opportunity to directly work as a producer right after his debut was inseparable from his parents.Both Xie Chuan and Ye Chengrong gave Yang and Xing face, and made an exception to let Yang Yuanyi, who was less than 30 years old at the time, follow the crew. Unexpectedly, he did a good enough job.

This time as the producer of "Falling into the Water", Yang Yuanyi has long been familiar with it.

There is no need to stay in the crew to watch the filming every day, but Yang Yuanyi still often travels between Pingjing and Rongjun, and travels by plane as if he is not tired.Others only said that he cared about movies, only Yang Yuanyi knew that he was deliberately making himself busy.

When you get busy, you can not think or look at anything, just focus on what is in front of you.

Wan Chenyun has his own stubbornness. It was his first time directing a film with a tense plot. At the beginning, he could only shoot ten shots a day. When it comes to complex scheduling, it is not uncommon for a scene to shoot for three to five days.

The management was not very satisfied with this, because the cost of shooting was high, and delaying it would only delay the progress. Yang Yuanyi came forward to negotiate, but Wan Chenyun didn't like his way, and hung "you have to listen to me if you invite me to direct" on the lips.Yang Yuanyi is a good guy who is lazy but not difficult to get along with outside, and he is also very angry with him.

"It's only been half a month, and the corners of my mouth are blistering with anger." Yang Yuanyi complained to the mirror.

Rong County has a low altitude and has been rated as one of the most livable cities in China for many years.Spring comes with sunshine and warmer temperatures after a damp wind.At night, the hotel room I stayed in could see the sea, and the sound of the waves fluctuated from far to near.

Fang Fei leaned against the door frame of the bathroom: "Are you angry? Your voice is a little hoarse."

Yang Yuanyi said it was possible.

"Tomorrow I'll make some mangosteen for you." After Fang Fei finished speaking, he unexpectedly received a slap from someone in the mirror. He smiled for a while, and then said, "You take a bath first, and I will go to the bathroom first." Recite tomorrow's lines."

Yang Yuanyi agreed, but seeing that Fang Fei didn't leave immediately, he asked again, "What's the matter?"

Fang Fei picked up the script: "Wait a minute, help with the play?"

The last time I asked Yang Yuanyi to help me with the scene was in Pingzhou, and when I mentioned the time that the two of them missed together, Yang Yuanyi's depression was relieved and he nodded.

The hotel is a relatively high-grade hotel in Rong County, and the sound insulation in the rooms is very good.As soon as the bathroom door was closed, coupled with the sound of water, even if Yang Yuanyi called Fang Fei from inside, he might not be able to hear him clearly.

He was sitting by the bed, flipping through the script boredly, when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

It's already past eleven o'clock, who else will come?

Looking from the monitor, Fang Fei was stunned for a moment, then opened the door: "Wan Dao?"

Wan Chenyun is in his forties, very thin, and his back is a bit hunched when standing still. Some staff members in the crew call him "Ma Gan" in private.He has the characteristics of an artist, with long hair, a long beard, and black-framed glasses. When he is silent, his eyes are always empty, as if he is in a daze anytime, anywhere.

But such a person has a bad temper. When the filming is not going well, he dares to scold anyone except Ye Xiehui.Fang Fei has also been scolded by him many times, because he couldn't catch Shen Jue's scenes and repeated reshoots, Wan Chenyun was very impatient with him.

The uninvited guest's eyes looked sharply at Fang Fei through the lens, scanning him from top to bottom.

Seeing that Fang Fei was still fully dressed, Wan Chenyun smiled: "Haven't slept yet?"

"What's your business?" Fang Fei asked, at the same time a stone was hanging in the air in his heart.

His relationship with Yang Yuanyi is not a secret. Yang Yuanyi's friends such as Chen Yusheng and Shen Jue, his friends such as Fu Yicheng, and even his ex Xia Huai all know more or less about it.But others can only see that Yang Yuanyi admires Fang Fei very much, and the deeper reason is only an unproven rumor.

At this time Yang Yuanyi was still in Fang Fei's room in the middle of the night, he didn't want Wan Chenyun to know, so he moved forward calmly to block it.

"The scene with Shen Jue today was a lot of pressure, right?" Wan Chenyun said that it was indeed business, "I saw that you didn't seem too satisfied, so I thought about communicating with you."

He was telling the truth, Fang Fei relaxed his vigilance and still blocked the door: "But it's late today, isn't Director Wan taking a rest?"

"Being with you counts as a rest!"

Wan Chenyun's smile was even brighter, and he took a step towards the room as he spoke, as if entering the room.

The blood all over his body rushed towards the Tianling Gai for a moment, Fang Fei stretched out his hand to stop it, Wan Chenyun slipped through the gap, and then wanted to kick the heavy door shut with his feet, and then he grabbed Fang Fei's body almost eagerly. wrist.

"Don't move." He lowered his voice, "You don't want to be heard hugging us in the middle of the night, right?"

Fang Fei widened his eyes.

Wan Chenyun: "A Fei, let me sleep with you for one night today, huh?"

While opening and closing Fang Fei's lips and teeth, he smelled the smell of alcohol. He was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to understand what Wan Chenyun wanted to do, and pushed him in the opposite direction.He is about 1.8 meters tall, and he usually insists on exercising, but he is probably flustered and nervous, and he didn't push the seemingly thin Wan Chenyun at the first stroke!

Wan Chenyun became even more excited by his resistance, instead he held Fang Fei's wrist, cleverly pushed him against the wall at the entrance, and then inserted a leg into Fang Fei's knee.

The door was ajar, as if he was sure that Fang Fei didn't dare to call directly, Wan Chenyun chuckled a few times: "Well, if you like to play, you want to refuse? No wonder people say you're easy to play. Have you taken a shower? Why is that so? fragrant……"

The alcohol-smelling breath blowing beside his ears only made Fang Fei sick.

His posture was awkward, seeing that Wan Chenyun was about to stick to his neck, Fang Fei's heart slumped, he turned his head sideways, took advantage of the looseness in the opponent's hand, and suddenly pulled out a hand and quickly turned around to clamp his throat.Before he could catch his breath, a muscle in his waist twitched violently due to the drastic change. Fang Fei raised his knee and slammed into Wan Chenyun's crotch——

"Ah!" The other party cried out in pain, staggering and losing his balance.

Fang Fei took the opportunity to stop him outside, and closed the door with a "bang" without any hesitation.

The heartbeat was fast, and the sprained tendon started to hurt after a while. Fang Fei's chest kept rising and falling, and the feeling of nausea lingered in his throat. He retched twice and frowned.

...Did Wan Chenyun drink too much, or did he become cowardly?

What is "other people say", who will say it?

Fang Fei's mind was like a mess, and his thinking ability almost stopped.

I don't know when the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and after a while, Yang Yuanyi came out with a bath towel wrapped around his lower body, wiped his hair and asked, "Why did you ding ding dong dong just now?"

"It's okay." Fang Fei said instinctively.

But as soon as he finished speaking, grievances suddenly flooded into the corners of his eyes and nose.

His vision seemed to be dizzy, and Fang Fei held back when he realized this.He is already a qualified actor, there is no need to slow down, others cannot clearly see the slight changes in his emotions.

Doubt flashed across Yang Yuanyi's face: "Are you really all right?"

"Someone went to the wrong room just now."

After finishing speaking, Fang Fei took two steps forward, ignoring that the other party hadn't wiped off the water drops, and hugged Yang Yuanyi.

Without thinking too much, Yang Yuanyi held the back of his head and kissed Fang Fei's forehead first.

"what happened……"

With her eyes on his shoulder, Fang Fei took a deep breath: "I want to hug you."

He didn't tell Yang Yuanyi about this.

The crew has complicated contacts, and it's just started, and they will have to get along with each other for at least three months in the future.Wan Chenyun was recommended to Shuotian by Yang Yuanyi, and Ye Xiehui strongly supported him. He didn't want to make it difficult for Yang Yuanyi, and he didn't want to owe Yang Yuanyi more.
