Chapter 185 Fan Xian, Kiss Me

"Don't get into romantic trouble in Northern Qi."

"No one wants me but you."

"What if someone wants it?"

"I want no one but you."

The lines were very straightforward, but the two of them said this in the room. Although they were not wearing costumes, Li Wei obviously put his heart into it.

She looked at Zhou Le's fair and handsome face, which still carried the heroic spirit of a young man.

Although she also knew that Zhou Le was much more mature and sensible than ordinary people under normal circumstances, and even understood more things than her.

But what she liked most was Zhou Le’s sense of loyalty.

"Fan Xian, do you know? Actually, when we were filming before, I always couldn't tell whether I was in the play or not. You acted so well, and your eyes were so passionate. At that time, I thought many times how great it would be if I could stay in the play forever."

Zhou Le's heart moved. This was obviously not a line in the script.

"Wan'er."

"Wait a moment."

Li Wei extended his finger and pressed it against Zhou Le's lips. "Just call me Wan'er, at least until we finish filming this drama. We're in the rapeseed fields right now, and you have to promise me that you won't mess around with other women after you get to Northern Qi."

"Okay, I promise."

The next moment, Lin Wan'er put her hands on Zhou Le's shoulders and looked at Zhou Le intently.

"Fan Xian, thank you for doing so much for me, and thank you for giving up so much for me."

After saying that, he slowly approached and gradually closed his eyes.

"Wan'er."

It was obvious that Li Wei had completely immersed himself in the role, and Zhou Le didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.

Lips meet.

Zhou Le was completely immersed in it.

After a long while, Li Wei suddenly pushed Zhou Le away.

"what happened?"

"wait for me a while."

Li Xi ran out of the room while talking. Just when Zhou Le thought that he regretted his words, Li Xi opened the door and walked in again.

"What is this you have?"

"Clothes."

"Is this necessary?"

"Of course it's useful."

As Li Wei spoke, he threw one of the sets to Zhou Le.

Zhou Le unfolded it and took a look: "You took the crew's costumes back. What if they find out that two sets are missing?"

"Don't worry, these are custom-made by me. I was planning to wear them for photos later, but I figured they'd be useful now."

"Cosplay."

"What cosplay? Fan Xian, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhou Le understood that Li Wei just wanted to play cosplay.

Never been to this kind of place before.

"That hair"

"It doesn't matter. This is all I can use now."

I just need to change clothes and wash up.

"Wait a little longer, please. I don't want to do it now."

"Okay."

Zhou Le felt that it was very difficult for him to endure it. After all, Li Wei had been learning opera since he was a child and had an amazing figure.

Even without makeup, her skin is very delicate.

"Wait a moment."

About half an hour later, Li Wei changed his clothes.

"Can you help me blow dry my hair?"

It was also Zhou Le’s first time to blow-dry a girl’s hair, but he found that girls’ hair always smelled good and felt smooth to the touch.

After blowing his hair for a long time until it was completely dry, Zhou Le just put down the hair dryer when he felt someone hugging his lower back.

But how could the opponent's strength be comparable to Zhou Le's?

Zhou Le turned around and picked up the other person by the waist.

"Fan Xian, what are you going to do?"

"What do you say?"

He gently pounded Zhou Le's chest. Although he was calling Fan Xian, his eyes were full of Zhou Le.

"I miss you."

"But you haven't left yet."

"I started missing you before I left."

This is also a line in the script.

Li Wei had already engraved these lines in his mind.

"You scoundrel..."

"How can this be called a lecher? What's my name?"

"Fan Xian."

"how about you?"

"Lin Wan'er."

"Yeah, so are you saying I'm a lecher?"

"No, it's not."

"What should you call me now?"

"Fan Xian."

"Is that right? We're going to get married in the second part. Are you sure you want to call me Fan Xian?"

After saying this, Lin Wan'er lowered her head and didn't raise it again until more than ten seconds later.

"Ms. sir..."

"That's right."

That night, Zhou Le also felt that he was immersed in the role.

But he couldn't help but sigh again that it was different to learn dance from opera in elementary school.

"Let's go out to sea. Let's sail a long way on a big ship."

“Wherever you go, that’s where you are.”

“Until no one can find us.”

Li Wei spoke the lines like this, and now she felt that she was Lin Wan'er.

"You're not afraid of not being able to go home from now on?"

Li Wei reached out and hugged Zhou Le: "With you here, you will protect me."

"But you won't be afraid of being seen."

"Don't worry, I've transferred everyone."

"Transferred? You really do have bad intentions."

Zhou Le was also glad that he had read the script in advance, otherwise he might not be able to memorize the lines at this time.

"Just think about it, don't move your mouth."

"it is good."

When Zhou Le woke up the next morning, he was still thinking about what happened last night.

"Fan Xian is such a good eater. In the book, Lin Wan'er is just one of them."

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Li Xi who was sleeping soundly.

"In order to stop myself from thinking too much, I can actually come up with this kind of reason, but it does feel different."

Not long after, Li Wei blinked.

Then slowly opened it.

Their eyes met, and Li Wei said nothing.

Instead, after putting on his clothes, he folded the costume neatly.

"Good morning, Teacher Zhou. I stayed up too late rehearsing my lines yesterday, so I stayed here all night. Please don't mind."

Never mention what happened last night.

"The inside of the play is the inside of the play, and the outside of the play is the outside of the play. The two cannot be confused, especially not getting too deeply involved in the play."

This was exactly what Zhou Le wanted. What did Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er do with him and Li Xi now?
"But Sister Ni, you played Wan'er really well. I read your palm yesterday and told you that you would be a big hit, and you will definitely be."

"Of course, but I will still need your support in the future." Li Qi was washing his face in the bathroom, and Zhou Le was standing at the door.

Looking at the other person's figure and temperament, Zhou Le suddenly thought of a movie he was going to star in next.

I have been pulled into the preparation group by the director before. Now several leading actors have been confirmed, but the roles of flight attendants have not been found yet.

"Sister, are you interested in being a flight attendant?"

"Stewardess? Why would you let me be a stewardess for no reason?"

"Oh, I'm not really asking you to go. I have a movie coming up that needs a role, and I saw in the group chat that the actors haven't been found yet. If you're interested, you can contact me and try."

"What's the subject?"

"It should be considered a career-oriented movie, right? The story is basically about a civilian airliner that encounters some problems while flying, and everyone works together to solve them."

"Then as a flight attendant, do I have a lot of room to develop?"

"Of course, the characters of the flight attendants are all well-developed."

"So what are you? A passenger?"

"I'm one of the captains, a trainee or co-pilot, I guess. The real captain is played by Zhang Hanyu."

"Sure, Joy of Life is about to wrap up, so I'll give it a try then. Who's the director?"

"Liu Weiqiang."

"Okay, then I'll tell my agent later and have him contact them."

But after he finished speaking, Li Wei glanced at Zhou Le again and asked, "Are you up to something bad again?"

"Of course not. What bad intentions could I harbor? You just said I was your benefactor, so shouldn't I introduce you to some resources? I'll also talk to Director Liu and ask him to accept you for my sake."

"You still have the nerve to do this?"

"Of course not. Anyway, I'll just say it. If it's useful, that's great. If it's not, it's no loss."

"Forget it, maybe I can go by myself. If you tell me and I sign you into the group, you'll still owe me a favor."

After Li Yan finished washing up, he wiped his face as he walked out: "Are you sure you don't want to see me in a stewardess outfit?"

"I can't be sure of that."

"I knew you were a pervert."

Zhou Le cried out in injustice upon hearing this: "How is that possible? You must have misjudged me. I am a righteous person. How can I be as bad as you say?"

"Who knows?"

Then Li Wei took his things, pushed the door open and left.

Alas, Zhou Le also breathed a sigh of relief. After that, when he played with the car again, the dopamine that had been blocked in his body and unable to be released now flowed smoothly.

Now that I think about it, I lived up to the name of Fan Xian yesterday and displayed the physical strength and demeanor that a warrior should have.

Lin Wan'er is indeed Lin Wan'er.

She is simply a lady from a noble family.

Li Wei's idea is indeed what he likes, and it only applies to the play and not to reality. But think about it this way, if the other party can really try to play the flight attendant in "China Airport", and he happens to be a pilot, wouldn't it be a career match?
It's beautiful to think about.

But after Zhou Le had been lying in the hotel for a while, he suddenly received a call from Sun Hao, the director of Joy of Life: "Mr. Zhou, are you in the hotel? I looked back at the two sets of shots we shot earlier and I felt they were a little lacking. These two sets were taken in the afternoon and evening. If you are free, please come over and reshoot them."

"No problem. Is it too late for me to go to the set after lunch?"

"OK."

Soon Sun Hao sent the two sets of footage again, followed by a long voice message.

"Teacher Zhou, these two sets of shots are about Fan Xian and Wan'er. The emotions between you two aren't quite on point. It wasn't that intense back then because we had just started filming. But I reviewed them again last night and I feel like it could be better."

Zhou Le didn't even listen to the voice and directly chose voice-to-text.

In this circle, many leaders like to send voice messages, and they are long messages at a time, which is very troublesome to read. Therefore, Zhou Le will only click on the voice message to listen when he feels that the text conversion is not very clear.

After eating something in the hotel at noon, I took a car to the crew.

Put on makeup, change clothes, and listen to the director explain the script.

After the filming started, Sun Hao was still a little worried that the actors would feel uncomfortable playing the earlier scenes after playing the later ones. After all, the stages of relationship development also happen in stages, but Zhou Le had to show special affection in the beginning.

But he didn't expect that the two of them would perform so perfectly in the play. When their eyes met, they were almost watery, and when put together, they could be mixed into a glass of wine.

"It's perfect, Zhou Le. I originally thought you might not be in good shape after being busy outside for a while, but now it seems that you two are like a newlywed couple after a short separation.

This little look is so spot on, I suddenly have an idea, how about we reshoot all your previous love scenes and do it according to this standard."

Zhou Le: “.”

"Director, you're just going to kill me with this. We have so many scenes together. How long will it take to reshoot them? Besides, we didn't rent the place for that long. If we exceed the time limit, the next crew will have to come in. How will we communicate this?"

"Hey, it's because you didn't show this kind of emotion before, so you can't blame me. If it really doesn't work out, we can discuss it with them and shoot separately."

"No, they'll definitely have to redecorate when they move in. If we film them together, won't the scenes be messed up?"

"That's true. Let's leave it at that for now. However, when we get to Yunnan, you guys have to keep this attitude. Otherwise, I'll feel disappointed and might not be able to accept it."

"try your best."

"What do you mean by try your best? Li Wu, he can't promise that, but you have to promise me that if I don't perform well, I will only blame him."

"Don't worry, Director. I will make sure I get the right emotions by then."

In the evening, we re-shot another shot. Now there is only one week left for the crew to shoot here.

Zhou Le and Sun Hao took the same car back to the hotel.

"Director Sun, I may have to attend a film festival in a few days."

"Why are you going again? I feel like you're always at film festivals lately."

"Not really. I haven't been to many this year. Especially since I joined the crew, I've been busy with racing and variety shows. Besides, if I win an award at the film festival, it will bring honor to our crew when I introduce myself."

"Ah, you only know how to use this kind of thing to pressure me. Okay, go ahead, but what film festival is it? The one with the Film Association?"

"Yes, that's the one called the China Film Directors Association Annual Award."

"Got it. Go ahead and get to know more directors. If I ever start making a movie in the future, I'll need your help to organize a party so I can get to know those directors and learn from them."

"That's no problem, as long as you pay for it, Director Sun. I'm really poor."

"Oh, it's so hard to get two dollars out of you."

"Who said that? Didn't I treat the crew to milk tea before?"

“Milk tea is only a few dollars.”

After staying in the crew of "Joy of Life" for a while, he reviewed the script with Li Wei for two nights. After that, Zhou Le decided to continue to focus on his work.

In the next period of time, we have to prepare for the rally in Zhangye, Gansu.

That day Zhou Le took the afternoon flight to BJ.

The 2018 Film Directors Guild Awards were broadcast on Dragon TV, and the hosts were all from there, but Zhou Le didn't know why it was held in BJ.

I can only say that I am just a brick, and I have to go wherever the project goes.

"Brother Le, I feel like I can come here this time because of you."

Sitting in the car, Guo Qiling said with emotion.

Guo Qiling didn't have many works before, but he came here this time just to perform, and he will have an opening talk show with Zhou Yiwei.

"That's not the case. Talk show is your forte. And now that you've entered the entertainment industry, you've naturally been noticed by those people. Rather than saying it to me, I'd rather say it's your father or our godfather's honor."

"Hey, that's not the case. It must be you, Brother Le."

After arriving, Zhou Lexian took Guo Qiling to have dinner with old friends like Xu Zheng.

With Guo Qiling's current acting skills and qualifications, it is somewhat difficult for him to act in movies starring Xu Zheng and others. For now, it is better for him to focus more on TV dramas.

After just a short chat, Ning Hao said that "My Country, My Parents" will be released in a few months this year, but now there is a new project called "My Hometown and Me".

Like my motherland, this is a multi-unit film.

"How many brothers have got quotas from their hometowns?"

Zhou Le asked.

"Hahaha, now that you put it that way, Wen Mu should be sad too."

"Director Wen didn't win the award this year."

"Yeah, but not really. I've been busy with editorial work lately and plan to get more involved in the industry, so I don't have time for this. Besides, Happy Twist, Deng Chao, and Yu Baimei also fought for it this year, so I gave the other spots to them."

Wen Mu also smiled after he finished speaking: "It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, this year I'm running mainly for some titles and reputations, but you have to ask how strong is Director Ning this year?"

"Director Ning?"

Xu Zheng really couldn't wait: "It was Chen Kaige who won the project for Motherland before, but in the end he ran away and the leaders were not very satisfied, so this year they changed the structure. The chief director is no longer the boss, and there is a general producer above him."

"Then the chief producer must be Mr. Zhang Yi."

"Yes, Zhang Yi is the chief producer, but our most beloved Director Ning has become the chief director, and the chief planner is still Zhang Yibai. However, Zhang Yi and Zhang Yibai will not direct the film, but will be responsible for coordinating the overall situation."

Zhou Le thought for a moment and said, "So among us, only you, Brother Zheng, and Brother Hao are directors, right?"

"That's right, but this time there are two directorial teams. The first is Yan Fei and Peng Damo, the second is Yu Baimei and Deng Chao, plus the two of us and Chen Sicheng, so this time it's the five of us shooting together."

After finishing the story, Ning Hao said again: "Do you have any ideas? Come over and take a picture?"

But Zhou Le thought about his schedule this year.

Then I thought about it again. I couldn't make much money by filming in this kind of movie, and winning an award would easily offend others. I definitely couldn't refuse.

"I failed to cooperate with Brother Hao last time, so this time I have to go to Brother Hao no matter what."

Ning Hao was stunned for a moment: "But I don't have any good roles for you here. There are only two leading actors, one is Ge You, and the other is Ge You's elder. You definitely can't play that role."

"It's okay, a cameo appearance is fine, as long as there are shots."
