Chapter 54(1/2)
"The Immortal Couple" was finally confirmed to be released on New Year's Day. Tong Yao and Yao Huai were invited to attend the premiere of "The Immortal Couple". Yao Huai made another notice and was unfortunately absent.
Tong Yao sat alone in the audience, listening to the interaction between the host and the starring actor on the stage, and his heart wandered outside the sky.
The opening time she agreed with the editor was January, and the notice arranged by Zheng Hao filled her January - when she was facing a young boy who was as helpless as her in the entertainment industry, after more than half a year of training, she is now doing well.
On the side of "Second Personality", Director Qian Cheng said that if the filming goes well, it should be completed before the Spring Festival. Tong Yao will join the group in early January and finish the filming in early February.
However, his group has requirements for actors. He cannot take leave and run other itineraries in the middle of the journey. He must follow the group throughout the journey, and family members and friends are not allowed to visit the set.
This is to keep the actors in the play as always, and because of such strict rules, few top-tier celebrities in Qian Cheng's movies participated.
Tong Yao was still in a daze, and the host on the stage suddenly clicked her name.
"Sadly, there is only one fairy in the fairy couple in the movie today. Let's ask Tong Yao to come on stage to chat for a few words."
Sparse applause rang out around.
Tong Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and got up.
Standing in the center of the stage is the female host and the male and female leading actors of the movie.
Zhao Xuan's film style is completely opposite to Qian Cheng. All the actors invited are well-known domestic movie stars. The male lead is a powerful actor who has won the best actor. Actress Fu Xinying was the winner of the last Jin Award and is a recognized goddess in the circle.
For some reason, Tong Yao felt vaguely that the queen of the actress didn't like her very much.
After introducing herself, the female host began to ask her some tricky questions.
"The two played couples in the movie. Did they spark other sparks during filming?"
They are not flints, they are just a ghost spark.
Tong Yao pulled the corner of his mouth: "We only have half a day of scene..."
"Yaohuai has a slow personality and it is difficult to chat with unfamiliar people." Fu Xinying interrupted with a smile.
She once worked with Yao Huai on two dramas, and for a while, she selected the best screen couple, and the combination of the two was on the list.
In the crew, Fu Xinying didn't mind or was afraid of Yao Huai's indifference. He asked him to help tell the show, but he rarely refused, which gave her a little confidence.
And soon, she will work with Yaohuai for the third time, and they have a lot of emotional entanglement in the play.
Once you get into the role of an actor, it is easy to confuse reality and scripts, and Yaohuai is a good actor.
Fu Xinying looked at Tong Yao with a hint of disdain.
Xinghe is a company under Jiutian. In recent years, Jiutian artists have experienced a gap in status and lack of new strength. Yaohuai is the child of Jiutian Lao Dong and has shares in the company. The preferential treatment of Tong Yao is just to promote his own artists.
If it were other newcomers, they would only be respectful when they met the seniors in the entertainment industry. Tong Yao was different. She was not an artist at work, so she directly criticized Fu Xinying's provocation on stage.
"Is that so? We talked well. Yaohuai is easy to get along with in private. I think he may not know him well enough."
Tong Yao grinned.
Fu Xinying's face immediately pulled down.
The host smelled the strong smell of fire and medicine, and quickly stood between the two to smooth things over and accelerated the next step.
After the premiere, "Second Personality" started filming soon. Tong Yao first went home to change his clothes, slept for a while, woke up and packed up the clothes and supplies in his two suitcases, and waited for Zheng Hao to pick her up.
Thinking of the familiar posture of Fu Xinying and Yao Huai, an unknown fire arose in his heart. He took a deep breath and wanted to send a message to Yao Huai.
The text editing of the input box was completed. She hesitated for a moment and withdrew the finger she sent.
Tong Yao poked the avatar of his good sister and asked: Are you busy? Do you know Fu Xinying?
Cong Ge is like a senior entertainment reporter in the entertainment industry, without gossip that she doesn't know.
After a while, Cong Ge replied: Of course I know each other during the play, but we have never cooperated. She declared war on you?
Tong Yao: What kind of battle is Xuan?
Cong Ge: Fu Xinying likes Yao Huai. I heard that he has been chasing him for many years.
Tong Yao: Haven't caught up with me?
Cong Ge: No, Yaohuai is famous for not being close to women, oh, not being close to men.
As a teacher, Tong Yao is in a good mood.
I modified the content of the box to be entered, deleted all the questions about Fu Xinying, leaving only one sentence: I'm going to join the group soon.
Since there is nothing to do with her, there is no need to let her show her presence with her boyfriend.
Yaohuai had just finished his work and called her directly.
"Is there time left? I'll send you there."
"No need, Zheng Hao will arrive soon. There should be time to meet after the camera is turned on. We will be in the crew at that time."
"Well, remember to bring a few more thick clothes."
Tong Yao thought the crew would have a meal together after the start-up ceremony, but Qian Cheng directly announced that the group would be closed and filming would be started, and all unrelated personnel were asked to leave.
When Yaohuai arrived at the shooting location, Qian Cheng stopped him respectfully and politely.
"Teacher Yao, this is a set rule. I made it myself. It's not easy to do special things, so understand it."
"I can make a guest appearance."
"Really, that's great. There's a doctor's role. Do you think it's okay?"
"no problem."
"Ah, but this character has no rival scenes with the heroine, and the shooting location is also different..."
Yaohuai turned around and left.
Qian Cheng watched the free big shot leave, but unfortunately bit his finger, so he could discuss it again.
The plot of "Second Personality" is quite depressing. At the beginning of the story, Yin Xing was tortured and was desperate about the world. Xue Di appeared. She helped Yin Xing drive away all the people who bullied her. She was Yin Xing's hero.
After work, Yin Xing met the male protagonist who fell in love with her at first sight. Under the fierce pursuit of the other party, Yin Xing agreed to date him, but she did not tell me about Xue Di. Later, Yin Xing met a classmate who had hurt her. He recalled the nightmare of the past and hid away. Xue Di appeared and spent half a month with the male protagonist instead of her, and inevitably fell in love with the male protagonist.
The secondary personality is an unstable existence. Xue Di suddenly had the idea of replacing the primary personality, and Yin Xing was unaware of it. She could appear less and less for a while, and the male protagonist found that Yin Xing often acted like a different person. After asking, she finally spoke about the existence of the secondary personality.
The male protagonist did not know Yin Xing's experience and just wanted to take her to treat her. Yin Xing strongly opposed it. For this reason, she even had the idea of breaking up. Later, the two often had disputes over this matter. The male protagonist spoke nonsense, which hit Yin Xing's pain. She lost consciousness again and awakened Xue Di.
Xue Di took on some terrible experience for Yin Xing. After she came out, she did not show kindness to the male protagonist as she did when she appeared before, but instead clenched her fists and taught him a lesson. At that time, Xue Di finally understood that the most important person in her heart would always be Yin Xing.
Since then, Xue Di has never appeared again. Yin Xing burst into emotions in front of others for the first time, and he toughly broke up with his boyfriend, and then left the settled city, not knowing where he went.
The most difficult thing in the movie is the special emotional bond between Yin Xing and Xue Di. The same costume, same makeup, and same face, two completely different girls are to be performed.
Tong Yao was at ease in acting Xue Di, and the extremely timid and cowardly Yin Xing made her unable to start.
The inspiration given by the waitress could only support her daily life. After emotional conflicts in the later stage, she had no idea how to start.
Qian Cheng asked her to find a way to live as Yin Xing within this month, and Tong Yao couldn't get into the show. Qian Cheng took away her private phone and gave her a backup phone number. The contacts inside were all characters in the movie.
While imagining himself as Yin Xing, Tong Yao answered calls from stepfather, class teacher and boyfriend in the movie.
One call after another, the stepfather's vulgarity, the class teacher's scolding, and the boyfriend's incomprehension were entangled in her mind all day long, which made her breathless.
She gradually didn't dare to touch the phone. When the ringtone rang, her body would tremble involuntarily.
Tong Yao obeyed the director's wishes and broke up and reorganized himself.
After a few days, she seemed to have really had two identities. Yin Xing became the real her, and "Tong Yao" became a subordinate personality to protect her.
In the later stage of the shooting, Yin Xing's memory was completely integrated with Tong Yao, and she became less and less like herself.
Every day I am looking forward to the appearance of the secondary personality, because that is the only time to free her.
At that time, she finally understood the dependence of the master's personality on the secondary personality.
A month passed, and on the day of the filming, Qian Cheng did not leave Tong Yao to attend the crew gathering, but contacted her agent as soon as possible and took her to do psychological counseling.
Zheng Hao came to the set and looked at Tong Yao with dull eyes, not daring to recognize him.
"Sister Yaoyao." He carefully stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
Tong Yao seemed to have seen someone just now, and shrank back fearfully, recognizing that the person in front of him was Zheng Hao. She smiled hard and said stiffly: "It's you, are you going back?"
Zheng Hao was stunned, turned around and rushed towards Qian Cheng, grabbing his collar: "Fuck you, is this still filming?"
Qian Cheng smiled apologized and replied with an extremely affirmative tone: "Yes, she is a good actor."
After leaving the crew, Zheng Hao took the psychologist's business card given by Qian Cheng and wanted to take Tong Yao to see the doctor first.
When we arrived at the airport, Tong Yao, who looked like a walking corpse, suddenly reacted.
"I want to see him."
"Who... Brother Yaohuai?"
Tong Yao lowered his eyes slightly and nodded mechanically and slowly.
Seeing her like this, Zheng Hao wanted to cry, so he quickly contacted his brother and asked about Yaohuai's location.
In the morning, snow fell from the sky, covering the crew's shooting site in a vast white area. The staff members shoveled snow on the side of the road with shovels.
Fu Xinying walked towards Yaohuai with a cup of hot tea in her hand and smiled.
"Give it a drink to warm your body."
