Tuesday, December 14th.

Early this morning, Pei Qian came to the filming site of "Beautiful Tomorrow".

I haven't been here for a while, so I'm very relieved.

The last time he came was two weeks ago, Pei Qian casually said that he would let Lu Zhiyao play Salted Fish, but he didn't expect that Lu Zhiyao had a big explosion of acting skills, so that this scene was unanimously praised by the crew on the set.

Therefore, during this time, Pei Qian kept his worries under his control and did not go to the set again.

He was afraid that his unintentional words would give Lu Zhiyao a new epiphany, and then the situation would be out of control......

However, it is not possible to go all the time.

Pei Qian felt that he couldn't keep holding the ostrich mentality, otherwise it would be too late if something really happened.

It is still necessary to detect and treat it early.

Even if the situation is irreversible, if you know it earlier, you can at least prepare to spend money in advance and reduce some losses for yourself.

Therefore, today Pei Qian had nothing to do, and came to the filming site again.

It's quite busy on this side of the set, with the staff shuttling back and forth.

Pei Qian didn't want to disturb everyone's work, just stood aside casually and watched the performances in the venue.

The surrounding set is no longer a narrow capsule, but has become an exterior of the future urban space.

Of course, it was an exterior location, but it was still filmed in the studio, but there were a lot of green screens.

Those cool futuristic city scenes will be synthesized with special effects.

The close-up scene is still set in real objects, such as this scene, the hero and heroine are going to eat together in a roadside shop, and the entire shop is built, and the tables, chairs, tableware, decorations, etc. inside are all real objects.

In addition, the signboards of the shop, the garbage cans on the side of the road, the heroes and heroines, and all the costumes that are in the camera are also customized.

These are all props carefully made by the props team, and there is a sense of being fake and real.

From these sets, it can probably be seen that this is a slum shape similar to steampunk.

According to director Zhu Xiaoce's plan, the buildings in this film will be roughly divided into four different styles:

The capsule space where the male protagonist lives looks very technological, but it is cramped, narrow, and the style is seriously homogeneous, which is a welfare facility built uniformly;

The slums of the outside world, that is, the place where the hero and heroine meet and date. There are many small shops here, which look a bit like steampunk style, with bright lights and lively looks, just full of chaos and disorder;

The glamorous outside world, including scenes from a talent show. It looks very technological, spacious, atmospheric, and is a science fiction architectural style in the general sense;

The homes of the upper class are mainly in the style of classical mansions, with beautiful fireplaces, large oil paintings, and expensive wooden furniture, but with a little high-tech elements to distinguish them from real mansions.

Because in the premise of the script, only the upper class could afford to play the "classical arts" of oil painting and piano, and in their circles, the "vintage" architectural style was a trend to distinguish it from the tastes of the average wealthy person.

The current scene was filmed in a "futuristic urban slum" scene with a somewhat "cyberpunk" connotation.

This is the first time Pei Qian has seen the heroine of this drama.

The actress's name is Lin Ruyi, with a round face, big eyes, two good-looking dimples when she laughs, and a standard first love face.

Pei Qian had tried to search for her information before, but he didn't find any famous works, and after asking, he found out that this is a newcomer who has just been excavated from the film academy and has not graduated this year.

Just talking about her appearance, Lin Ruyi is not particularly good-looking, because of her round face, she is not very photogenic.

However, this also fits the setting of the script.

Because in the script, the heroine is not a very stunning and alluring character, otherwise she would have been favored by the upper class people a long time ago, and it would not have happened in the following stories.

Pei Qian doesn't have any requirements for actresses, the only requirement is that he hopes not to be too good-looking.

After all, this is an era where everything is based on appearance.

If the heroine is too good-looking, maybe it will also form a hot topic, and if her acting skills are better, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

What if the heroine is so good-looking, although she plays a green tea, the audience can't hate it at all, but likes it like it like crazy, isn't that a bad thing?

Of course, Pei Qian also knows that it is not realistic to find a very ugly actor to be the heroine.

Therefore, now this rookie actor who doesn't look particularly outstanding is already a good choice for Pei Qian.

Soon, Pei Qian saw the plot of this scene.

The heroine has already been on the talent show, but she has not been selected.

Now, the male protagonist played by Lu Zhiyao is resting and drinking drinks with the heroine in a small shop on the side of the road.

Lu Zhiyao will try his best to make Lin Ruyi happy, but Lin Ruyi will casually echo him.

And when Lu Zhiyao said in a showdown that he had saved enough money to buy a double capsule, Lin Ruyi would suddenly erupt, break out into several emotionally tense conversations, and then throw his hand and leave.

This scene is a breaking point in the early and middle plots, which can be summed up in four words in short: the male protagonist is green.

Hey, this is really a timeless and classic poison spot.

Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh silently.

……

At this time.

Lu Zhiyao is imagining the future, looking like a licking dog, quite humble.

It's just that because he is handsome, although he is licking a dog, it doesn't make people feel very uncomfortable, but he is a little pitiful.

Lin Ruyi, on the other hand, stared blankly at the drink cup on the table, nodding from time to time, or echoing a few words very perfunctorily, obviously thinking about other things.

"I heard that there is a good restaurant nearby, which will sell delicious artificial meat, standard clean water and red wine."

"The artificial meat we ate last time was only able to simulate about 60% of the texture of real meat, which is already very delicious, and this one is said to be able to imitate about 80% of the texture of real meat, and there are many flavors such as beef and chicken."

"There is also standard purified water, the standard purified water I drank before all have a rusty smell, and the standard purified water in this store is said to have almost no peculiar smell, and it also has a faint fragrance, which is a hundred times better than the water in the residence capsule."

"And red wine. The bottled wine sold in the capsules is very expensive, and the price of the wine there is only about 70% of the price of the vending machine in the capsule, and it is said that there is almost no difference in taste. ”

"How about we go and try it together tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Ruyi opposite.

Lin Ruyi showed a polite smile on her face: "Well, okay." ”

When she smiles, two shallow dimples appear on her face, which looks very charming.

But the smile quickly disappeared, and she continued to stare absentmindedly at the cup on the table, indifferently picking it up and taking a small sip, her expression as if to say that the drink in the cup was tasteless.

Lu Zhiyao said a lot, but only three words were exchanged, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

It's just that he quickly adjusted his mood.

Because today he has prepared a big surprise.

The two men fell into a brief silence.

Lin Ruyi still didn't know what she was thinking, while Lu Zhiyao was sipping a drink and made up her mind to speak.

"I know that the failure of the last talent show hit you hard."

"It's okay, it's all over."

"Don't worry, I've already planned the future for the two of us."

Lin Ruyi raised her head and looked at Lu Zhiyao blankly, as if she didn't understand the meaning of his words: "Huh? ”

Lu Zhiyao couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have saved enough money to buy a double capsule again!" ”

"We're going to pick a suitable place to live tomorrow, and then you can move in!"

"It's not that big for a double capsule, but we can slowly move to a bigger place to live after that!"

"Maybe one day, we can also afford to buy a 60-square-meter luxury apartment with a kitchen, so that our children can also go out at 6 p.m., and if we are lucky, we can watch the sunset......"

Lu Zhiyao excitedly painted the beautiful prospects in his imagination.

However, Lin Ruyi's face did not show any joyful expression, but became more and more impatient.

"You keep the money, I don't want to live in a double capsule, and I don't want to marry you and have children."

"Let's break up."

Lu Zhiyao's smile froze on his face.

"Why?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"You've been in weird form since the draft......"

"It's just a draft, it doesn't matter......"

Lin Ruyi made a straight face: "You don't understand my feelings at all, of course you don't care!" ”

Lu Zhiyao was speechless: "Honey, I know how you feel!" I have worked hard to save up the registration fee, which is a huge loss for both of us! ”

Lin Ruyi seemed to be even more angry: "It's also a huge loss for you? ”

"You've just lost a few stinky money, and I'm losing a dream!"

Lu Zhiyao was speechless for a while.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong with this matter, and asked, "Honey, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I don't seem to have done anything wrong, I'm just going to buy you a double capsule, why are you angry?"

"What am I angry about?" Lin Ruyi's mood seemed to get worse, "Everything! ”

Both of them speak English, so this everything is quite imposing to say.

"I'm angry at the watered, low-quality syrup drinks in the roadside shops, at the disgusting greasy snacks, at the slums that I can only go out for three hours a day, walking in the dark slums, and being angry with rats......"

Lu Zhiyao was dumbfounded: "But, weren't we living so happily in the first place?" Why...... Don't you ......?"

He saw that Lin Ruyi was wearing more and more ornaments, as well as a slightly bulging lower abdomen, and a terrible guess appeared in his mind.

Lin Ruyi's emotions seemed to collapse, she covered her face with her hands, and only raised her head again after a long time, her eyes were filled with tears, but she was extremely resolute.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to hide it from you anymore."

"I went to be the judge's lover and conceived his child."

"So, break up, we're done."

Lu Zhiyao's expression changed from suspicion to shock, then to despair, and finally to despair.

His body, which had leaned forward slightly, suddenly seemed to lose its support and collapsed on the chair.

Lin Ruyi stood up and prepared to leave.

However, Lu Zhiyao grabbed her wrist violently.

"He didn't marry you and didn't give you a lot of money, did he?"

"He doesn't care about this kid at all, otherwise you wouldn't be broken and confused right now, would you?"

"Even ...... He abandoned you the first time he found out you was pregnant, right? ”

Lin Ruyi's body trembled slightly.

Lu Zhiyao knew that he had guessed correctly, and knew that he still had a chance, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay......"

"It's going to be hard for you to be alone, and no other man is willing to accept someone who is pregnant."

"You need me, and I will help you take good care of this child together."

"Trust me, I won't mind this, I'll ......"

There was a pleading in his voice.

Lin Ruyi was silent for a few seconds, and then shook off Lu Zhiyao's hand suddenly.

"This kid has upper-class blood."

"I don't want him to be like you, a useless poor ghost."

Lin Ruyi resolutely strode away.

And Lu Zhiyao watched her leave, opening his mouth to shout something, but he never shouted.

It was as if he had been drained of all his strength, and his whole body "collapsed".

……

"Cards!"

"Yes, very good!"

"After shooting seven or eight pieces, I finally have a more satisfactory one, everyone has worked hard!"

Director Zhu Xiaoce took the lead in applauding and encouraging.

At this time, Lin Ruyi, who played the heroine, hurriedly bowed to Director Zhu Xiaoce and the crew to thank her, and then bowed to Lu Zhiyao to thank her.

"Thanks to the guidance of my seniors, if it weren't for my seniors' acting skills being so good, I wouldn't have been able to put myself so involved in the play."

Lu Zhiyao smiled: "Your acting skills are good, I don't dare to take this credit." ”

"Besides, I'm just a 'box office poison', if you want to talk about acting, you really don't necessarily have who directs whom."

Pei Qian, who was silently watching on the sidelines, secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart.

Awesome!

He had goosebumps when he saw this scene just now, and he almost wanted to hit someone.

Lu Zhiyao brought a licking dog to life, especially the last few sentences, which vividly explained what it means to "lick a dog and not a house".

And Lin Ruyi performed a green tea to the fullest.

The small emotions in front are very well expressed, and the last two sentences are completely the finishing touch.

Pei Qian watched on the set and felt seriously unwell.

It's so poisonous!

The man will be silent when he sees it, and the woman will cry when he sees it.

Pei Qian felt that if he saw this film in the cinema, he would probably faint on the spot.

Moreover, Pei Qian also realized a major piece of good news.

Maybe Lu Zhiyao's acting skills have improved, but it is a good thing for him?

If Lu Zhiyao doesn't act well, everyone may not have such a sense of substitution, but will be secretly happy because Lu Zhiyao is so miserable in the movie.

After all, this product has no audience.

But now, Lu Zhiyao is acting well, and many people will naturally feel the dog-licking breath emanating from him, and they will have an instinctive discomfort.

Those fans of Lu Zhiyao will definitely be angry, right?

In this way, there must be more people scolding this movie!

Pei Qian suddenly felt that his mood had improved.

It seems that he accidentally improved Lu Zhiyao's acting skills a little bit before, which is not a big problem.

As long as the book is poisonous enough, no matter how good an actor is, he can't save it!

Pei Qian's face couldn't help but smile, and he stepped forward to talk to Director Zhu Xiaoce.
