Land of Habitat

"It's not easy to win this role, so grasp it well."

In the high-level office of Shengshi Entertainment, Lu Anqi handed over the contract with detailed details to Jiang Jiang, and smiled, "From next year onwards, I will ask Qin Le to carefully screen and accept dramas for you. We need to produce more high-quality dramas, and we must be cautious in endorsements. At the critical stage, you should also take care of yourself, and don’t make any weird negative news.”

Jiang Jiang accepted the contract gratefully. He never imagined that after missing out on the male lead in "Walking Against the Wind", Lu Anqi actually got herself the leading role in the movie directed by Zhang Yi. Thinking of her love for the company in recent months Slightly dissatisfied, Jiang Jiang was a little ashamed, bowed his head and said, "Thank you Mr. Lu."

Lu Anqi shook her head nonchalantly: "It's good if you can seize the opportunity, I told you don't care, your age...it's a bit embarrassing, you can't take a role that's too young, and it's easy for the audience to think it's annoying if you take a hard shot. But like that kind of drama with a strong sense of time, you usually have to invite someone who is about ten years older than you. I have said long ago that you need to transform, so I have to think more every time I choose a role for you in the past six months. Fortunately, this role seems to be tailor-made for you, Director Zhang is very satisfied after watching your audition video, and the company will help you make a topic, but after the filming starts, it will be up to you.”

Jiang Jiang nodded. The film directed by Zhang Yi is almost a box office guarantee. It is certain that it will be popular. Thinking about the current situation of the company's artists, Lu Anqi is quite satisfied, and said: "It's been almost a year, and it's finally not in vain. Needless to say, I have been busy from the end of the year to the middle of the year, Tianqing has just accepted two dramas, plus his previous one, and I will be on the screen next year, Wei Xi and the others are also good, plus Xia Qi... …next year will be a bumper year.”

Jiang Jiang's eyelids twitched when he heard the word "Xia Qi". It has been more than two months since Bai Muchuan stopped him from wanting to spend the whole Xia Qi with him that day, but what happened in such a long time? Nothing happened. Jiang Jiang's dissatisfaction with Xia Qi had disappeared after knowing that Lu Anqi was also working hard to obtain resources for him. He hesitated and said, "Xia Qi has recently..."

"Very good." Lu Anqi lit a cigarette and smiled, "His movie is about to wrap up soon, and Director Fei is preparing for the Lunar New Year show. By the way, there is also your spot at the premiere, so you can go with me when the time comes." …When I met Director Fei a few days ago, Director Fei even specially praised him to me, saying that he has good acting skills, is serious about filming and is willing to endure hardships, I remember that you two have a good relationship, he is too young, you have the opportunity to take care of him more."

Jiang Jiang nodded, after thinking about it, he decided not to mention that day. Bai Muchuan was probably just complaining, and now he told Lu Anqi that he had completely offended Bai Muchuan, and he couldn't explain why he dragged on until now. I just came to remind, but Jiang Jiang was still a little uneasy in his heart, subconsciously said: "It should be, Xia Qi, he..."

Lu Anqi raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Jiang returned to his senses, smiled dryly and said: "No, I thought... This is Xia Qi's debut work, and it will be finished soon, so he should be nervous."

Lu Anqi smiled: "It should be."

If Lu Anqi could see Xia Qi, she would know that he was not "nervous" but "extremely nervous".

For a movie, Xia Qi shot from the end of summer to the depths of winter, and today is the new year. In the past few months, he has endured hardships and learned a lot. He has gained a lot. "Troubled Times" cost a lot , Xia Qi thought that he was used to watching big scenes with Director Fei, and he would not easily suffer from stage fright in the future. With this knowledge, Xia Qi continued until his finale.

Xia Qi looked at the withered yellow rice fields stretching as far as the eye can see, then turned around, looked at the positions that had been set up, and counted in his heart, one, two, three, four, five, six...

Xia Qi was not wrong in counting. In his finale scene tonight, there will be six cameras starting work at the same time.

It’s not that Director Fei is crazy, it’s just that the last explosion scene needs to be shot from multiple angles, and he insists on taking the scene in the rice field, which means that this scene can only be played once. If there is really an accident, then another The cost of the set is even more terrifying.

Xia Qi is under a lot of pressure.

"As you walked, you scattered the gunpowder in your pocket along the bridge, all the way to the rice fields." Wrapped in a military overcoat, Director Fei breathed out as he spoke, "You were shot twice, in the left abdomen, Pay attention to your walking posture."

The martial arts instructor had already analyzed it for Xia Qi, Xia Qi nodded, and Fei Dao led him into the rice field while gesticulating: "At this moment, the bridge is already half blown up, don't worry about it, the assistant director is watching over there." Then, you continue to take pictures of yourself, you only look at the rice fields, you walk in the direction of the rice fields, the artillery fire follows you, and when you are about to get off the bridge, the bridge completely collapses."

The bridge in the play was originally built by You Zai's father. At that time, You Zai's father was dead. You Zai's brother and the heroine in the play were tortured in the military intelligence department. After planning, he resolutely decided to complete the task for his elder brother. When the Japanese luggage passed by, he blew up the bridge that his father had built all his life, and the Japanese soldiers in the same platoon died together.

Director Fei told Xia Qi about the play: "At the last moment, you were about to come down from the bridge, and you couldn't hear all the sounds behind you. You only knew that the task had been completed, they were all dead, and your brother buried the gunpowder." , you know the location, you know in your heart that as long as you climb over this bridge, you will not die, but you also know that it is impossible to climb over, and it will be blown over soon. The last thing you think about is when you were young, you and you Brother, Ying Ran, you all set off firecrackers in the snow, Ying Ran liked to hear the sound of firecrackers when you were young, you were timid and never dared to let it go, until the last time."

"At this time in the film, the screen will cut to those who are still alive, your brother in the dungeon, Ying Ran who is asleep on the desk of the Military Intelligence Department, and those who are still in the city. They were all woken up by the explosion. .”

Xia Qi took a deep breath, and Director Fei patted Xia Qi on the shoulder: "This is to wake up your family and everyone in this mediocre city. It is very important. Think about it yourself, don't be too nervous. .”

Director Fei was busy elsewhere, while Xia Qi was wrapped in a down jacket, rubbing his hands, and pacing back and forth.

Since yesterday, Director Fei has been putting Xia Qi into the role, and Xia Qi has tried, but every time... until the end, he always thinks of Lu Xuan.

Back in the group this time, Xia Qi was very uneasy at first. He was worried that Lu Xuan would be disappointed by his poor filming. He was worried that Lu Xuan would alienate him because of the separation. In fact, none of what he was worried about happened.

Just a week after joining the group, one night Yan Zhuoyi kidnapped Dao Fei and took Xia Qi away for no other reason. Lu Xuan suddenly wanted to see Xia Qi after socializing.

In fact, Lu Xuan drank a lot of wine that day, he was a little drunk, and it was very late, so he couldn't make out. He just slept with Xia Qi in his arms, but Lu Xuan seemed to think it was very good. During the month, Xia Qi was taken back to "sleep with him" several times in this way.

I can always meet with Lu Xuan. Xia Qi knows that Lu Xuan has been getting busier and busier since the middle of the year. The end of the year is approaching, and there are too many entertainments. Even though Lu Xuan is full of energy, he would rather rest when he is free every day. I'm too lazy to go to sensual places, even if I need it occasionally, I always ask Xia Qi to go.

Moreover, I don't know when it started, Lu Xuan got used to contacting Xia Qi by himself, Xia Qi's phone was full of things he didn't want to delete, they were all the call records between Lu Xuan and him, and the occasional texts that Lu Xuan sent him Short message.

Xia Qi didn't dare to take the initiative to contact Lu Xuan when he had nothing to do, but he would contact him before he thought about Lu Xuan and thought that Lu Xuan couldn't bear it, and the frequency became more and more frequent.

Xia Qi couldn't help laughing, this... doesn't look like he's getting tired of himself, does it?

Xia Qi took out his mobile phone to check the call records. The last phone call with Lu Xuan was yesterday. Lu Xuan is out of town now, and he will be back tomorrow if there is no accident. Xia Qi feels warm in his heart. He can see Mr. Lu tomorrow. !

When Lu Xuan called Xia Qi yesterday, it was at night. After finishing his official business, Lu Xuan returned to the hotel and couldn't sleep, so he called Xia Qi.

Lu Xuan had just negotiated a big business deal, and he was in a good mood, maybe because he brought some wine. When he asked Xia Qi if he wanted him, Xia Qi naturally wanted to, but if he really said it on the phone, it would be a little bit awkward. I'm sorry.

At that time, the studio hadn’t finished work yet, and Xia Qi was surrounded by people. When Lu Xuan asked him, he didn’t dare not answer, so he hid aside, covered his phone with a blushing face, and said in a very small voice, “I miss Mr. Lu.” It's over." However, Lu Xuan was still not satisfied, and asked him what he was thinking with a chuckle, Xia Qi blushed so much that he almost smoked, and was so shy that the fur on his down jacket would explode.

Xia Qi was almost bullied and cried, pitifully begging for mercy, saying that he was on the set, Lu Xuan let him go, and made fun of him before hanging up the phone. Be careful to be overheard by the hostess' assistant, the little girl winked at him and asked in a low voice, "Are you calling your partner?!"

Xia Qi nodded secretly, and the little assistant showed a tacit smile, grinning: "A happy marriage for a hundred years!", Xia Qi's heart was almost overflowing with sweetness.

"Xia Xia!!"

The assistant director was calling Xia Qi, he quickly suppressed the pink bubbles in his heart, and trotted over to prepare for the last big scene.

The director was worried that Xia Qi would be under a lot of pressure, so he told him in advance that even if it was really NG, it would be fine and he could reshoot.

Xia Qi's makeup for this scene was the most embarrassing in the whole movie. His black student outfit was covered with dust, and there were gun holes and blood stains on his left abdomen. His face was also full of gray, his forehead There was also a scrape on the side, and he was like the young master in the first scene.

But the blood and dirt made his face more three-dimensional. Xia Qi's eyes were almost shining. Standing in the middle of the bridge, he staggered and looked back. He saw the Japanese military vehicles full of ammunition sinking with the bridge, and the flames burst into the sky!

You had a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.

The prop teacher stared nervously and followed the operation closely.

The sound of the explosion was stronger than the sound, You Zai tore the dirty schoolbag containing the gunpowder powder hidden in his bosom, he limped forward and scattered all the way, the artillery fire followed Xia Qi, almost catching up with him, You Zai He was shot a few more times behind him, his body flickered, and he walked even faster.

After a few steps, You Zai fell to the ground. He gritted his teeth and tore the schoolbag in his arms desperately. Gunpowder powder was scattered around him. You Zai raised his head, and he could go ashore with only a few steps.

You Zai climbed a few steps, and finally gave up. The explosives hidden under the bridge exploded with the gunpowder he sprinkled along the way, and they were about to catch up with him.

You Zai struggled to support his body, and lay down as if he was out of strength. What caught his eyes was the vast starry sky behind the gunpowder and fire.

Many years ago, he hid behind his grandfather and watched his elder brother and sister Ying Ran setting off firecrackers together with admiration, but he didn't dare to get close.

You Zai sprinkled the last gunpowder on himself, with tears in his eyes, he laughed and shouted: "Sister Ying! Did you hear that? Did you hear that?! Is it loud?!! You said I played it louder? ?!!"

With a bang, the entire bridge collapsed, especially destroying the bridge that originally carried their trade in and out of the city, and also ruined the way for the Japanese army to transport ammunition to the city.

"Card!!!"

The field manager and Xia Qi's assistant rushed up to help Xia Qi up. Xia Qi was full of tears. Director Fei compared Xia Qi's posture from a distance. Many girls on the set were crying, and everyone stepped forward to talk to Xia Qi. Hugs and congratulations to him for wrapping up.

"thanks, thanks."

Xia Qi bowed to everyone again and again, his tears couldn't stop flowing. Director Fei still wanted to see the effect of several other cameras, but he still came over to encourage Xia Qi, telling him to keep his heart and work harder in the future. Xia Qi thanked him repeatedly, and many crew members came to talk to Xia Qi, and the assistant director came to film Xia Qi. Xia Qi expressed his feelings with tears, and thanked the crew and Shengshi Entertainment in turn.

A woman, a man and a man also came to take a photo with Xia Qi. Xia Qi was overwhelmed. Everyone was crying and laughing. It took a long time to say goodbye. Xia Qi left the contact information of many people and made an appointment to celebrate together after filming.

Lu Xuan will be back tomorrow, the better the two of them spend New Year's Day together, Xia Qi didn't delay any longer, and left the group after packing up his things, and was reluctant to part with everyone when he left.

"Xia Xia, your eyes are all red." The assistant's eyes were also red, "Oh... I was so uncomfortable watching it just now, Xia Xia, your acting skills are better than when you first joined the group! I almost cried to death."

Xia Qi smiled happily, and was a little worried that Lu Xuan would see her swollen eyes tomorrow, but now she can't take care of it anymore, filming is very tiring, everyone is looking forward to the finale, but after the finale, I still can't help but cry, Xia Qi Xi couldn't explain this feeling, the only regret was not being able to share it with Lu Xuan...

"Lu...Mr. Lu!"

Xia Qi was really stunned this time, when Yan Zhuoyi opened the car door for him, Lu Xuan was sitting on the back seat!

Lu Xuan smiled: "It's been a while, I didn't tell you for fear of affecting your last big show."

"You..." Xia Qi's tears fell again, "Why do you..."

A large bouquet of flowers and several exquisitely packaged gift boxes were placed on the back seat. Lu Xuan smiled at Xia Qi: "Xiao Qi, happy new year."
