Alexis Xiao glanced at Adrian Lu, and Veronica talked to Adrian Lu for a while. Celeste Zhang hasn't come to visit yet, and she is probably too lazy to play with Adrian Lu. Veronica asked Adrian Lu to make a phone call to apologize. Adrian Lu argued for a long time and finally threw the phone aside.
Alexis Xiao said: "Brother Zhou, after all, we still love each other, why bother about such a small matter?"
"But we don't love each other!" Adrian Lu roared in injustice.
Alexis Xiao didn't know what to say. Adrian Lu sat there with an irritable look on his face. Alexis Xiao put a hot pack on him, but Adrian Lu pushed him away.
"Stop it!" Adrian Lu said, "I'm already upset! I don't know what sin I committed in my previous life. I want to be an artist in this life."
Alexis Xiao can now roughly understand Adrian Lu's bottom line. As long as the people around him are truly well-intentioned, then if they say something wrong or do something wrong, at most they will be scolded by him. Adrian Lu's temper comes and goes quickly, so just don't take it to heart when he is scolded.
But if you laugh at him or look down on him, or show a disapproving expression, Adrian Lu will be very angry, thinking that you are not convinced, and you must argue to the end, and you must figure out who is right and who is wrong. Alexis Xiao had to always hide his inner complaints.
Tomorrow we will be filming outside in the mountains north of Hengdian for a week. The living conditions are not good. I am afraid that my cell phone will have no signal by then, so Veronica called first and asked Adrian Lu to apologize as soon as possible. Because they have to cooperate with Ning Yaqing's economic company, they started to hype up their scandal. Ideally, Ning Yaqing's company would first release the ambiguous news about the two of them in the crew, stir up a round of topics, and then let Celeste Zhang visit the set, and then arrange a few sneak shots as fans, making it seem that the two have a good relationship, so the rumors will be broken.
Of course, these are all under ideal conditions. It seems that neither of them has any plans to get back together. Sometimes even Alexis Xiao gets anxious for them, wondering if Veronica's plan will work.
There was a WeChat message on Alexis Xiao’s phone, from Veronica.
[Please call Celeste Zhang's agent for Adrian Lu.]
Alexis Xiao glanced at Adrian Lu, who was still in a trance and didn't know what he was thinking. Alexis Xiao then touched Adrian Lu's cell phone, which was glared at by Adrian Lu. However, this action was not followed up by any body language or movements, so Alexis Xiao hesitated and called Trevor Qi.
"hello~ Zhou Zhou~"
"Hello, Mr. Qi!" Alexis Xiao said with a smile, "I am Alexis Xiao."
"Hey (second tone) Yo! (emphasis)." Trevor Qi said with a smile, "I was wondering why Brother Zhou was in the mood to call our Ranran."
"He was too embarrassed to say it." Alexis Xiao smiled, "I beat him for him."
"Come, come, come." Trevor Qi obviously knew the importance of the matter and said, "Celeste Zhang is right next to me, come."
Alexis Xiao handed the phone to Adrian Lu, and Adrian Lu said "Hello" in a bad mood.
"Don't be angry." Adrian Lu's voice was a little low, with a bit of magnetism, and very pleasant to hear.
Alexis Xiao immediately felt very comfortable, she was so gentle and very elegant.
Adrian Lu said in a friendly manner: "Isn't it okay that I was wrong? I've been in Hengdian for so many days and I'm so sorry. What do you want me to do to forgive me?"
"Bullsh!t, you---" Celeste Zhang's voice was sharp and penetrating, and Alexis Xiao was instantly defeated. Adrian Lu glared at Alexis Xiao, made a "beat" gesture, got up and went to the bedroom to make a phone call.
Alexis Xiao checked the things that his assistants had sorted out. Adrian Lu asked them not to bring a group of people with them for the location shoot tomorrow, so Alexis Xiao gave them a day off and told them to wait for him in Hengdian when they returned.
Almost all the things were brought with them. It was more tiring to go out for filming. The conditions of the hotels in the mountains were not good enough and there was not much to eat. One could only get up early and go to bed early. He had to bring some snacks with him, and he just happened to bring all the snacks given by the fans. Alexis Xiao felt that Adrian Lu's fans were really thoughtful and touching, although Adrian Lu himself didn't care much about them.
Suddenly there was a roar from inside.
"Get out of here! Anyone who begs you again is a dog! Am I still worried that I won't get any roles?!"
Alexis Xiao's whole body stiffened immediately.
"Okay! Remember it for me!"
Then there was a loud bang and a crash.
Alexis Xiao: ...
Alexis Xiao knocked on the door and went in, seeing Adrian Lu lying on the bed, his cell phone embedded in the lampshade, and broken glass all over the floor.
I won't talk about how I spent that night, how I paid for the lampshade, how I asked someone to clean the room, and how I asked Adrian Lu to go to bed. It would be tearful if I talked too much. The next morning, Adrian Lu's phone was no longer usable. Alexis Xiao asked his assistant to buy a phone and send it to him while he discussed with Veronica what to do.
Veronica was helpless and could only ask Ning Yaqing's agent to send messages slower.
Adrian Lu was like a man of gunpowder and didn't say a word the whole day. At around four o'clock, Alexis Xiao drove the car and followed the convoy on the highway, all the way into the mountains. Six hours later, after settling down in the hotel, Alexis Xiao installed a SIM card in his mobile phone for Adrian Lu to use, but Adrian Lu didn't even look at it.
"We have to prepare for filming." Alexis Xiao said, "Would you like to eat something?"
Alexis Xiao was holding a can of gummy candies, but was pushed away impatiently by Adrian Lu.
"Bring me the script." Adrian Lu said.
Alexis Xiao said: "Let me rehearse with you."
Adrian Lu read the script for a while, and Alexis Xiao turned sideways and lay on the carpet of the hotel. The hotel conditions here were obviously very bad, and there was mold on the walls. Alexis Xiao came to a beautiful woman lying on her side and said: "Abaoji..."
"Damn it!" Adrian Lu threw the script down and said, "Do you think I look like a gigolo?"
"No, no, no!" Alexis Xiao crawled over on his knees and said, "Your Majesty! Please look at my sincere and admiring eyes! You are my male god!"
With a puff, Adrian Lu finally couldn't help but laughed. Helplessly, he kicked Alexis Xiao away. Alexis Xiao just wanted to tease Adrian Lu, at least to make him calm down. After all, work is the most important thing. He patted his knees and got up, saying: "Brother Zhou, why do you want to date Celeste Zhang?"
"No reason." Adrian Lu said coldly, "If I wanted to get promoted and get hyped, I admit that I used to rely on her to climb up, but if you look at the entertainment industry today, is there anyone who has no acting skills and relies on his girlfriend to climb up?"
"No, no." Alexis Xiao shook his head violently.
Adrian Lu said, "Forget it."
"Really not." Alexis Xiao said seriously, "Brother Zhou, actually from the first time I met you... I'm not talking about reality, but the first time I saw you on the big screen in the cinema, I felt that you were different from others and you would be famous."
"But." Alexis Xiao said embarrassedly, "Your fans must all think so, not just me." Alexis Xiao said this with a bit of sadness, sat down on the bed next to Adrian Lu, and said: "I don't think you need to hype yourself up with Celeste Zhang when you debut, you need to have confidence."
"I am now more famous than she is," Adrian Lu said, "She was the one who was relying on me for publicity."
"Yes, yes, yes." Alexis Xiao nodded hurriedly and said, "But no matter what..."
Adrian Lu looked at Alexis Xiao, and Alexis Xiao thought to himself that no matter what, you and Celeste Zhang have been working together for so long, since both parties are willing, there is no need to become enemies in the end. After all, you have been boyfriend and girlfriend for a while, can't you part ways in peace?
But he took back what he said, knowing that once he said this it would be like teaching Adrian Lu a lesson. At least he couldn't say it now, otherwise he would have to pack up and leave.
"...We still have to shoot the show." Alexis Xiao said with a smile, "Don't let it affect your mood."
Adrian Lu didn't say anything else. He took the script and flipped through it. Seeing that he seemed to be better, Alexis Xiao went downstairs to ask what he wanted for dinner and prepared a special dinner for Adrian Lu.
It was a cold and wet winter, and everything was wet, even the quilts. The crew ate in the restaurant. Alexis Xiao queued up to get Adrian Lu's meal, which was then brought up to the room. In the afternoon, everyone set out together, first by car and then on foot into the mountains. The photography and lighting equipment were transported up on tracks, and the actors put on makeup in the car, and the first scene began in the fog.
Adrian Lu was shot and was lying in the grass with an arrow stuck in his body.
Ning Yaqing: "Abaoji---!"
Ning Yaqing's eyes were filled with tears.
The first match in the afternoon was so fierce that Alexis Xiao was a little overwhelmed. Adrian Lu leaned against a tree, hugged Ning Yaqing in his arms, covered her tender face with one hand, and said intermittently: "I'm glad you're okay..."
"Cut!" the director said, "Adrian Lu."
Adrian Lu stood up with arrows sticking out of his body.
The director spoke to Adrian Lu for a few words, and Adrian Lu thought about it. Everyone knew that it was probably because Adrian Lu did not perform well in this scene, and finally it was his turn to NG.
This afternoon, Adrian Lu did NG again and again. Every time the director was not satisfied, but Adrian Lu did not lose his temper and was very cooperative.
"He's not very good at emotional scenes." said the coordinator.
"Well, classmate Fa Cai is at a loss when it comes to love scenes." said another unknown young woman.
Alexis Xiao glanced at him and took the initiative to introduce him: "This is the screenwriter Sister Lin."
Alexis Xiao finally saw the legendary screenwriter and immediately shook hands with her. Screenwriter Lin nodded. Alexis Xiao racked his brains and tried to find some compliments. For a moment, he hated his limited knowledge and wanted to use the idiom dictionary to write a few sentences. However, the screenwriter was always paying attention to Adrian Lu's actions.
After reshooting several times, Adrian Lu was already a little annoyed. Alexis Xiao knew that he was already in a bad mood. The screenwriter talked to the director and the director called the two of them over to change the play on the spot.
Then the scene changed to Ning Yaqing holding Adrian Lu's face with tears in her eyes. Adrian Lu closed his eyes tiredly, and Ning Yaqing hugged Adrian Lu in front of her.
"Cut! Good!" the director said, "Adrian Lu can go back and rest now, and go back to cultivate his emotions."
The screenwriter laughed and said, "Teacher Lu, the following scenes cannot be changed. There must be scenes where the male protagonist takes the initiative. I believe no one is better than you in expressing the feelings for Yelu Abaoji."
Adrian Lu looked helpless, came over to greet the screenwriter, and thanked him politely. A group of girls looked at him and laughed. Adrian Lu looked gloomy, and when he came out, he said to Alexis Xiao: "What did they say about me behind my back?"
"No." Alexis Xiao said, "They said you are not very good at romance scenes."
"I've never been in love." said Adrian Lu.
Yes, yes, yes... Is that so?! Alexis Xiao seemed to have heard some incredible news. This was really explosive gossip. Adrian Lu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and threatened: "Don't tell anyone!"
Alexis Xiao said: "But I've seen you play this role several times in movies..."
Adrian Lu said impatiently: "How can filming count?"
Alexis Xiao was surprised and asked, "You and Celeste Zhang, don't you feel in love?"
"No, okay, okay, stop talking." Adrian Lu waved his hand and said, "Let's go down the mountain."
The crew still has several scenes to go, most of which are supporting roles, including Shulü Ping being chased, An Duan hunting, and making a fire.
Alexis Xiao was shocked when he heard a scream. It turned out that Ning Yaqing was acting out a scene of being chased.
Adrian Lu still cares about his love scenes, saying: "Being with Celeste Zhang was also acting, and I never loved her, so what can I do?"
"Huh?" Alexis Xiao came back to his senses. Adrian Lu actually returned to this topic. Alexis Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Just treat her as someone you like. Just make eye contact. Aren't you always very into the role?"
"That's why I can't get into the role!" Adrian Lu said, "I don't have anyone I like!"
It was almost dark, Alexis Xiao went to drive the car first, and Adrian Lu went to remove her makeup and change clothes. When they came out, Alexis Xiao drove the car down the mountain carefully and said, "Brother Zhou, you... don't be angry, I want to ask you something, have you never liked a girl?"
Adrian Lu had a dark face and said nothing.
Alexis Xiao knew that he couldn't mention Celeste Zhang at this time, so he took a detour and said, "First love, the person you like in junior high and high school... Just treat her as Ning or Shulü Ping, that's all."
Adrian Lu was careless, folded his arms, put one foot on the back of the chair, and said: "No."
How could there not be? Who would believe you! Alexis Xiao complained silently, but since Adrian Lu said so, he couldn't hold you accountable for not following the script, so he could only say: "That feeling of pity, heartache, and wanting to protect her..."
Alexis Xiao himself felt shocked, and got goose bumps on his arms. After thinking about it, he said, "Have you seen the MV?"
"What the hell is that?" Adrian Lu said unhappily.
"Edited MVs and classic clips from movies." Alexis Xiao added: "When you see a beautiful girl, you will be impulsive and hard... Don't tell me you don't even know who Matsushima Kaede is..."
"Am I not an impotent monster?!" Adrian Lu roared.
Alexis Xiao spurted out and slammed the steering wheel. Adrian Lu yelled, "Be careful! Are you looking for death?"
With a lot of grunt, one of the SUV's tires got stuck in the mud and couldn't move.
Fifteen minutes later, Alexis Xiao and Adrian Lu were in the mud, side by side, leaning against the back of the car, gritting their teeth and kicking their legs.
"Push harder---" Alexis Xiao shouted.
"I..." Adrian Lu was almost mad at Alexis Xiao, but Alexis Xiao burst into laughter. Adrian Lu yelled, "What are you laughing at!"
"You're so funny!" Alexis Xiao laughed so hard that he almost fainted. Adrian Lu said angrily, "You're crazy!"
Alexis Xiao waved his hand and looked at Adrian Lu. He suddenly felt that he liked him very much. Although being his assistant was tiring and annoying, this job was like opening up a new world for Alexis Xiao.
