Chapter 35: I Believe in You
Gu Chen's deep eyes were black, and he stared at Xiang Mian deeply, and there was apology, forbearance, and pity in those eyes.
"Trust me, one day, you will be the one standing at the top of the pyramid."
Xiang Mian smiled and nodded, her eyes couldn't help but be a little wet, she hurriedly looked away, holding back the sourness on the tip of her nose.
"Ah, it's nothing, I'm happy to have a job now and be away from that family."
Xiang Mian smiled brightly, but there was endless sadness and far-fetched in this smile.
The afternoon scene was the first scene where Xiang Mian was the stand-in, the two met on the street in early autumn, and the lights around them were very scorching because of the large wattage, Chen Mengmeng looked at the heavy and lengthy skirt on his body, and said to the director dissatisfied.
"This costume is too ugly, change it!"
Her tone was commanding and unquestionable, and the director looked at Chen Mengmeng and looked at Gu Chen with an embarrassed face.
"Because I didn't find the heroine before, these previous stand-ins have already made up a lot of shots for you, you just need to add the one that shows your face, so you can't change your clothes."
The director persuaded softly on the set, but Chen Mengmeng didn't care, raised his arrogant head, and kept fanning the faint wind in front of his face.
"So what, you said it, it's a stand-in, as long as you change me into a cool costume, I'm willing to shoot a hundred more, this costume is too hot, and the makeup is spent."
Her words were like a sharp knife piercing into the heart of Xiang Mian, who was standing aside, and Xiang Mian noticed Gu Chen's gaze towards him, and a far-fetched smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Mengmeng didn't notice this, just pouted in displeasure, and gently tapped his fingers on his face.
"This ......"
The director looked at Gu Chen with an embarrassed face, but Gu Chen only looked at Xiang Mian, waiting for her words, he could let Chen Mengmeng go, he wanted to let the cowardly Xiang Mian know that it was useless not to fight for it and tolerate it.
Xiang Mian just glanced at Gu Chen gently, and then silently withdrew from the crowd, she didn't want to hear Chen Mengmeng's next words, judging from the dealings between the two of them, she must be embarrassed for a while.
Gu Chen's hands trembled slightly, and when he saw Xiang Mian's back, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and the surface was light and light.
"What is this, I don't know who the stand-in is, what if the acting skills are not good."
"The stand-in, you know, it's Gu Chen's assistant Xiang Mian."
The director searched Xiang Mian's figure in the crowd as he spoke, but found nothing.
"An assistant? Can you also be a stand-in, director, you are the legendary big production? ”
Her tone was sharp and sarcastic, Gu Chen frowned dissatisfiedly, and stood up without saying anything, the dim light covering his face with a hazy light.
"Why is there so much nonsense, she can shoot if she wants."
Gu Chen's face was not good, especially when he thought of Chen Mengmeng, who was unwilling to look at him affectionately for a while, he had a headache.
The midsummer breeze blew gently, and Xiang Mian heard an action from afar, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
Gu Chen's mood was extremely bad, with a cold face, he took a few deep breaths, and then looked at the camera with a look in his eyes, the scene was set to see the heroine passing by, and the two talked slightly and then parted ways.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Mengmeng looked at Gu Chen with a gentle face in disbelief, he was not a person at all with a poker face, and the complex emotions in his eyes seemed to be her lover.
Her little face blushed suddenly, and she pinched her throat a little twisted.
"You...... How could you ......"
"Kakaka, Kaka! Chen Mengmeng, it is clearly written in this script that the heroine smiled shyly, and then said, what a coincidence, what are you talking about! ”
Chen Mengmeng's heart burst into flames, especially when she saw Gu Chen's disappointed and impatient expression, the director who was holding the script and chattering at the moment became the most redundant person in her heart, but seeing Gu Chen's demonic facial features, she swallowed this breath and nodded slightly.
"I see, go ahead."
"Okay, come, keep preparing, the first game, the second one, start!"
In the repeated scene, Chen Mengmeng was stuck again, and after a good sentence, she actually reached out and grabbed Gu Chen and wanted to come forward to hug her.
The director was completely crazy, Chen Mengmeng's performance was simply an amateur actor, and even Xiang Mian's performance was inferior, which made this director who was never ambiguous about his works quite impatient.
"What did you do! Do you know how to act! ”
was scolded by the director, Chen Mengmeng felt that her face was hot, and her dissatisfaction in her heart increased, in her opinion, her performance was almost flawless except that it was different from the script.
"I can't act? I'm better than that little assistant! ”
"You!" The director glared at Chen Mengmeng angrily, but when he thought of Zhou Yangjun, who was an investor he couldn't afford to provoke, he held back the words he wanted to curse with a black face.
"Enough!"
Gu Chen, who has been silent on the sidelines, has a pair of eyes that are not angry and arrogant between the two, in his opinion, this matter is completely the director's own fault, and it is a little late to jump now.
Gu Chen's cold words, the scene instantly quieted a little, Xiang Mian happened to pack up his emotions and walked back, and saw this scene.
"Chen Mengmeng, this is not a place for you to play around the house, you can shoot it, and if you don't shoot, get out."
The cold words did not show the slightest pity, his voice was extremely low, he took a few steps back impatiently, and looked at Chen Mengmeng with disgust.
"You!"
Chen Mengmeng wanted to fight back, her apricot eyes were wide, but she didn't say a word, Gu Chen's terrifying aura made her feel afraid from the bottom of her heart, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she refused to retreat.
"Heh, look down on people? I'll prove it to you. ”
The precious jewelry on Chen Mengmeng's hand was refracting dazzling light under the light, Gu Chen subconsciously dodged, saw the long oblique sunset in the distance, and spoke.
"Then don't talk so much nonsense."
Chen Mengmeng felt a little nervous in her heart, because she had no experience before, and today's careless attitude, she was completely bottomless in her heart, just when she was holding the script, because of the force in her hand, the script was wrinkled, a female voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Miss Chen, I have a way."
An inconspicuous short girl lay in Chen Mengmeng's ear with a bright face, and said something to her, Chen Mengmeng's originally cloudy face returned to normal in an instant, squinted her eyes, and quickly began to look at her in her head.
"What's your name?"
Chen Mengmeng looked up and asked.
