soul collector

Li Ziping's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, his eyes went back and forth several times between the faces of Tang Xiu and Jiang Qiao who were sitting on the bed. When did it start?"

Tang Xiu had a calm expression on his face, "I can't tell."

Li Ziping rolled his eyes and almost passed out.Jiang Qiao thought it was funny, coughed lightly and added, "I really can't tell."

Li Ziping stood up from the stool and turned around several times.Jiang Qiao squinted at him. In the middle of the night, he seriously suspected that he saw a walking Russian doll.

Li Ziping's voice trembled anxiously, "Director Jiang, you can't treat Tang Xiu like this! He's just a child, he just joined the circle not long ago, and he doesn't understand anything, you're like this..."

Jiang Qiao interrupted him and said meaningfully, "Child?"

"Isn't it?" Beads of sweat glistened on Li Ziping's forehead, he swallowed his saliva, "Tang Xiu is only in his early 20s, he has just stepped into the society and this circle, he is not sensible, don't you..." Li Ziping paused, "I have no right to blame you, but you should understand that once this kind of thing is discovered by others, the words "climbing to the top of the bed" are enough to completely destroy him."

Tang Xiu frowned, "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Qiao reached out and patted his leg, and answered Li Ziping in a leisurely manner, "First, he didn't get on the bed."

Li Ziping was obviously relieved when he heard the words, and looked at Tang Xiu in disbelief, "Really?"

Tang Xiu didn't bother to talk to him, Jiang Qiao continued, "Second, we are not together yet."

"Temporary?" Li Ziping felt that his brain was not burning enough. "What do you mean?" A sense of protective anger suddenly rose in his heart. He knew that this matter was absurd but he still couldn't help asking, "Isn't Tang Xiu a man?" An artist who is eager for quick success, I know him. It is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to hook up with the director, it can only be..."

Jiang Qiao laughed when he heard the words, "That's right, I can only lead the way."

Li Ziping, "..."

Jiang Qiao sighed, "You may have misunderstood. The actor and the director secretly kissed in the corridor of the crew in the middle of the night. It doesn't have to be a mutual interest, and it may also be a budding love."

Li Ziping, "..." The director was full of obscenities.

Jiang Qiao continued, "I like Tang Xiu quite a bit, but he hasn't agreed to me yet." He turned his head and glanced at Tang Xiu. Tang Xiu might have been sleepy and his eyes were a little dull.Jiang Qiao then said before Li Ziping's eyes widened, "You are his manager, you wouldn't take the initiative to stab the media, right? We were not careful enough today, and we will pay attention later. It's too late, you go back." , he was sleepy."

Li Ziping, "..."

After Li Ziping was forced out of the room by Jiang Qiao's half-pushing and half-shoving, he was in a dazed state.He walked to the stairs, turned his head abruptly, and stood there stupidly for 10 minutes, until he was sure that a certain director had no evil intentions and turned back to find Tang Xiu, then he was slightly relieved, and returned to his room as if he was sleepwalking.

Tang Xiu finished washing up and was about to fall asleep when he found that he had received dozens of WeChat messages from his manager on his mobile phone, full of earnest question marks and exclamation marks. I didn't even bother to look at it, so I replied with one word - "Yeah."

Early the next morning, Tang Xiu had just changed into his costume and came out when he saw Li Ziping sitting next to Jiang Qiao muttering from a distance.Even though they were far away, Tang Xiu could tell from the shape of his mouth that Jiang Qiao said, "Get lost".

Li Ziping left with a sneer, Tang Xiu walked over and asked casually, "What did he say?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiao raised his eyelids and looked at him with a livid face, "It's nothing."

This attitude... Tang Xiu froze for a moment, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Qiao ignored him, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Every department is ready."

Zhang Kaixing shouted from a distance: "Tang Xiu, it's about to start up, are you coming?"

Tang Xiu agreed, looked at Jiang Qiao with a frown, and said in a low voice, "What's your situation, we'll talk about it after the filming is over."

Jiang Qiao glanced at him, but said nothing.

Anyone with a discerning eye in the crew could tell that the director was in a bad mood today, and his face was dark the whole time.Tang Xiu filmed a few monologues of Xiaobai mourning and weeping in prison. His emotions were layered on top of each other, and the onlookers thought it was wonderful. However, Jiang Qiao, who always liked to praise Tang Xiu, kept his face stern and silent. .

The people below whispered whether Tang Xiu had offended Director Jiang, and even Zhang Kaixing secretly asked Tang Xiu what was going on.Tang Xiu turned his head and saw that Jiang Qiao was looking at the screen expressionlessly, refusing to meet his gaze.

"Little Tang?"

Tang Xiu turned around, "It's okay."

He felt a little stuffy in his heart, he couldn't tell what he was feeling, he just wanted to say that ordinary people are ordinary people, young but temperamental, he was fine yesterday, but today he just showed his face when he said it.

This kind of emotion accumulates more and more, which naturally affects the performance.The last scene before lunch was Tang Xiu and Zhang Kaixing's rivalry scene, the last time Ren Jun met Xiao Bai in private before his death, Ren Jun knelt down and cried bitterly in pain and guilt.Zhang Kaixing's emotions were brewing in place, and he tugged at the hem of Tang Xiu's clothes, his whole body was shaking, but after he finished his lines, Tang Xiu actually lost his mind.

"Card!"

Jiang Qiao's voice came from the loudspeaker, with obvious displeasure, "What's going on?"

Tang Xiu glanced in his direction, "Sorry director, I was distracted."

Jiang Qiao's voice was icy cold, "Such an important scene can be distracted, and the opponent actor finally got emotional, because you have to do it again."

The surroundings were silent, and the staff did not dare to make a sound. This was the first time Tang Xiu was scolded in the crew.He also lost his mind last time, but Jiang Qiao didn't say anything.

Zhang Kaixing came over to smooth things over, "It's okay, let's do it again, if we can edit it, just make up the last two sentences."

Jiang Qiao said, "I don't accept editing."

Zhang Kaixing was also choked.Indeed, Jiang Qiao never used editing to make up for mistakes on set, and there was nothing he could do.

Tang Xiu whispered: "I'm sorry director, let's do it again." He said and pulled Zhang Kaixing down, "Sorry senior, it won't happen this time."

Jiang Qiao snorted, "All departments are preparing for the second time."

Zhang Kaixing's emotional brewing was in place once, and he had already exploded. It was indeed not as good when he came back later. This scene was shot several times, and the lunch time of the entire crew was delayed for more than half an hour.Tang Xiu shouldn't have cared about other people's opinions after living for ten thousand years, but when he thought that this kind of progress was delayed because of his mistakes at the beginning, he felt very uncomfortable.

Thinking of Jiang Qiao's inexplicable flirtatious look at him early in the morning, the old ancestor was even angrier.

Finally, when it was time to finish work and have lunch, Tang Xiu waited for everyone to leave and went to the side of Jiang Qiao. Jiang Qiao was turning off the camera monitor, and he didn't even lift his eyelids when he saw him coming.

Tang Xiu couldn't help frowning, "What happened?"

The people around had already left, and Jiang Qiao finally said, "Your manager has already told me what you promised him yesterday, so I apologize for you and me."

"Huh?" Tang Xiu was surprised when he heard this, "What's the matter?"

He suddenly remembered the bunch of messages Li Ziping sent yesterday, so he took out his phone to check yesterday's chat records.

- "I thought about it carefully, this matter is really unreliable. Director Jiang is such a great director, he won't be serious with you, are you not particularly serious?"

- "Why didn't you reply? This matter is really urgent. You just entered the circle and don't understand how vicious those gossip paparazzi reporters are. They can talk about everything they don't have, let alone you two are so over the top."

- "Let's keep a distance from Director Jiang in the future, okay? If you can't say this, I will help you talk to him tomorrow and apologize to him. From now on, we will be directors and actors. Director Jiang is dedicated and will not be filming because of this incident." It's hard for you."

——After this message, there was the word "um" that Tang Xiu replied.

The old ancestor felt like a thunderbolt in his heart, and felt a severe headache.He rubbed his temples, and was silent for the word "um".

Jiang Qiao saw him staring at the phone in a daze, leaned over to glance at the screen, and said with a sneer, "Heh."

Tang Xiu took a deep breath. He really isn't good at coaxing people, but this matter is true... He struggled silently for a while, then pulled Jiang Qiao down and said, "I didn't pay attention to what he posted yesterday."

Jiang Qiao glanced at him again, "Oh."

Tang Xiu was one of the top ten, and when he wanted to say something, Jiang Qiao hurriedly said, "Just to clarify, I'm serious about you."

Tang Xiu sighed and said in a low voice, "I know."

Jiang Qiao snorted lightly, "Do you really know?" After finishing speaking, before Tang Xiu could react, he went to the restaurant alone.

Tang Xiu had no choice but to follow.

Unexpectedly, before the two of them stepped into the restaurant, they saw a few staff members rushing this way in a hurry, and when they saw Jiang Qiao, they shouted, "Director, Shen Simo had a conflict with the reporter outside, and he hasn't been hired yet." People and assistants, go and have a look."

Tang Xiu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, Jiang Qiao had already followed in stride.

When everyone arrived, the two logistics guys in the crew had already pulled Shen Simo back to the side. The paparazzi was lying on the ground, the camera lens fell to pieces, and the paparazzi covered his arms and rolled back and forth on the ground, crying in pain .

Shen Simo's face was flushed, and she still struggled to rush upwards. The impulsiveness was comparable to that of Hu Guangran that day.Jiang Qiao immediately strode over and shouted, "Stop!"

Shen Simo paused, looked at Jiang Qiao, "Teacher, leave this matter alone!"

Jiang Qiao wished he could slap this guy to death, so he gave him a hard look, and beckoned the people next to him to see what happened to that paparazzi.

Tang Xiu had already squatted next to that person to help him check.He has been a doctor for several generations, and his skills in bone-shaping and bone-setting are still superb.I squeezed the elbow covered by the paparazzi with my hand and knew that it was not as serious as this person showed. I was relieved and said in a low voice, "Okay, stop acting."

But the paparazzi didn't know what to do, so he took it away. He rolled hard and shouted: "The reporter is hit, the reporter is hit! I will definitely expose you, you blood..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Simo, who had just been pulled away over there, seemed to go crazy, broke away from the person next to him a few times, rushed over and kicked the reporter.The foot was so ruthless that the reporter shut his mouth instantly, clutching his stomach and writhing incessantly.

Tang Xiu, who was squatting next to him, finally couldn't help himself. He grabbed the bend of Shen Simo's right elbow, pinched and pushed again, and Shen Simo immediately screamed in pain. Tang Xiu squeezed his wrist and twisted it back slightly. With force, he pushed the person to the ground.

"Stop making trouble! You want everyone to know your little secret?" Tang Xiu whispered in his ear.

Shen Si Mo Wenyan's body froze, he turned his head and looked at Tang Xiu in disbelief, "What do you know?"

"I don't know." Tang Xiu gave him a warning look, "But if you make trouble again, everyone will know about it!"

……

two hours later.

"Look, the headlines you two created." Jiang Qiao threw the phone into Shen Simo's arms, his face livid.

Today's incident was not covered, and soon there was a commotion, and there were countless reporters squatting outside the crew.Shen Simo's condition was extremely poor. He didn't even have an assistant or manager now, and only teacher Jiang Qiao was willing to take care of him if something happened.All the shots that the film crew was supposed to shoot in the afternoon were forced to be shelved, and Jiang Qiao was so angry that he couldn't bear to look good.

There were only him and Tang Xiu, Shen Simo, in the room. Shen Simo was in a state of emptiness, but Tang Xiu was the calmest one in the room. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, swiped on Weibo, and took a closer look. headlines.

【Shocking!Returned artist Shen Simo beats up the reporter, Tang Xiu helps out]

[Follow-up: The reporter has been sent to the hospital for medical treatment, seriously injured, and may have symptoms of stomach bleeding]

[Famous director protects actors wantonly rampant, gathering crowds to fight]

Tang Xiu sighed, "These headlines are nothing short of crap. What are they all about?"

Jiang Qiao raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Are you so embarrassed to say it? He had a conflict with the reporter and the staff should go up to pull it off. What are you doing as an artist? To increase your exposure?"

Tang Xiu didn't say a word, and Jiang Qiao said again: "I see that your manager didn't teach you useful things, but chased after his ass to come up with ideas for useless things, so I'll fire him when I get back! I'll let your company change to a new one." your agent for you."

Tang Xiu glanced at him and said calmly, "The director is really good, so I won't bother you about my affairs."

The atmosphere in the room became more rigid in an instant. Jiang Qiao was full of anger, and Shen Simo was dull. He blankly checked Weibo for a while, and then whispered: "It's not the one who exposed this news." Paparazzi."

Jiang Qiao looked away from Tang Xiu, took a deep breath, and tried to remain calm, "It should be that there were other reporters squatting on the outside at the time who took advantage of it, and they didn't know the ins and outs of the matter very well, just wanted to get the first-hand headlines , so let’s just look at the picture and talk.”

Shen Simo nodded, with a heavy heart, but he seemed to be slightly relieved. He was silent for a while and then looked at the pictures secretly taken in the report, and said: "On the pictures are only Tang Xiuzhi's photos of me. There is no evidence of physical conflict with the paparazzi. Everyone knows that the headline is not credible, and at best they interpret it in the direction of me beating the paparazzi... Fortunately, the public also hates the paparazzi now, so there should be no serious consequences .”

Jiang Qiao glanced at him, "Does that paparazzi know something about you..."

Shen Simo shook his head, "I called the other end of the house, I...Dad, I won't let these reporters go out and talk nonsense."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiao hesitated to speak. He wanted to ask what happened to your family, but he knew that Shen Si would never answer.The reporter just mentioned a key word today, and he stepped forward to kick like crazy, obviously being poked at a sore spot.

So Jiang Qiao sighed deeply, and said sternly, "The current headlines are enough for you! There are all reporters outside the crew, you two just sit here and reflect on yourself, and you are not allowed to show your face! Do you hear me?"

Shen Simo said sullenly: "Understood."

Jiang Qiao turned to Tang Xiu again, "What about you?"

Tang Xiu looked at him with raised eyebrows, but said nothing.Jiang Qiao waited for a long time but couldn't get an answer, so he could only stare at him, then turned and left.

As soon as the door was closed, Shen Simo buried his head and inserted his fingers into his hair, his whole body exuded a heavy sadness.

Tang Xiu sat beside him silently, after a while, Shen Simo said in a low voice: "I'm sorry brother, I have troubled you."
