[full-time leaf blue] half smoke

Chapter 1

The bright sun shines on the adobe fence in the countryside.When the autumn wind blows, the yellow sand is rolled up all over the ground, and the fine sand in the sky makes people squint their eyes.

A 28-year-old young man in a grass-yellow military uniform of the national army sat cross-legged on the fence, holding a cigarette between the index and middle fingers of his right hand while propping up his upper body.He smiled a little naughty, with goodwill and hope in his black eyes, looking down at another boy in the middle of the yellow sand road.

The boy's back was straight, he was wearing an American shirt and a khaki sweater, the sleeves were rolled up, revealing his thin wrists.He looked up at the young man sitting under the sunlight, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.He tilted his head slightly childishly, and said in an affirmative tone:

"I believe."

"cut!"

This sentence was full of enthusiasm, and all the staff from the actors to the sound board and the radio team breathed a sigh of relief.This is a long shot of almost 1 minute, starting from the perspective of Blue River, from walking steadily to trotting around the corner, extending to Ye Xiu sitting on the wall, and then gradually stepping back to the silhouette of the two standing up and down Closed in the exact third of the picture, everyone must keep up with the rhythm.At this moment, Lan He's tense shoulders relaxed, and he squatted down slightly, allowing the makeup artist to better touch up his makeup.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ye Xiu who was standing in front of the camera arguing with Wei Chen, and became a little nervous.Everyone worked hard to shoot this scene, and Lan He didn't want to do it again because of himself.But he knew Ye Xiu's temper, that person couldn't relax his requirements for movie quality just because he cared about his boyfriend's face.He took another sneak peek, and Qiao Yifan, Xingxin's chief makeup artist, stopped in a very good-tempered manner, and politely reminded him: "Brother Lan, please raise your chin again."

Although the result was not as expected by Blue River, it was slightly tortuous.Ye Xiu and Wei Chen pushed each other to grab the director's loudspeaker. They yelled one by one, and yelled a fart by one. Can you be a little bit ambitious.The people around were already used to it, and they all stood aside to watch the fun without trying to persuade them. Even Lan He couldn't help rolling his eyes, so angry that Chen Guo, the proprietress of Xingxin who came to play the role of the village aunt, came out in person and kicked him alone. : "If you call again, ask Wu Chen to stop your boxed lunch at noon—all units pay attention, listen to Ye Shen—ah no, listen to Director Ye! Retake after a 15-minute break! Retake!"

Regarding the boss lady's threat, Ye Xiu muttered something indifferently, which made Chen Guo's anger rise, and Wei Chen gloated and fanned the flames: "This guy is really shameless, I can't stand it anymore, boss lady hurry up!" Beat him! Tell someone to stop his cigarette!"

Ye Xiu saw that something was wrong, and Chen Guo was really going to be angry, so he ran back to Lan He immediately.While waiting for Qiao Yifan to touch up his makeup, he told him the previous question: "The facial expression is very good, but you are going to become a soldier now, so you can be tougher physically." He thought for a while, and said: "Then there is no need to say Let’s talk later. Superfluous.” Lan He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly straightened his back, his shoulders drooped and his calves stretched, his eyes slowly opened with a slight smile, and his lips slowly pursed, firm and fearless.

Ye Xiu patted him on the head to express his appreciation, but sweat was all over the undercut, rubbing his hands all over, and then wiped it on the military trousers under Lan He's disgusting gaze, squinting his eyes and smiling inexplicably proudly.

The shooting of the second piece went smoothly, or because of the arrival of Blue River, the entire work process of the movie "Half Smoke" has been accelerated a lot.This is the second official cooperation between him and Xingxin's team. He has already experienced the strange behavior style of this group of people a long time ago. Wei Chen tidied up those treasured equipment, and spoke lines with Mo Fan, who basically didn't care about others. By the way, he also silently took the initiative to accept the private work of restricting cigarettes for Director Ye during the day and sleeping with Director Ye at night.

The crew expressed their heartfelt admiration for Lan He's humanitarian and selfless dedication.

But those who knew the relationship between the two were full of lovelessness, wishing they could raise a torch and burn the pair to death as soon as possible.

1.

The relationship between Blue River and Ye Xiu started four years ago.

When Blue River's Weibo followers were about to reach 800 million, he was invited to participate in a talk show.After counting his childhood anecdotes, schooling experience and short acting career, the host asked him in a conclusive tone: "Will you consider making a movie next?"

Lan He thought about it for a while, and smiled decently: "For a newcomer actor like me, making a movie is still a very serious matter. If there is a chance, I will definitely try it, but the most important thing right now is to continue Polish yourself better."

"Then which director would you most like to work with?"

"Every director is worthy of my expectation." He blinked slyly and smiled with his head tilted.A small canine tooth that is rarely seen in the entertainment industry is exposed.

The manager Liang Yichun in the audience gave Blue River a thumbs up.

After the interview, a group of people chatted and joked together in the nanny's car, braving the wet and cold wind in the southern winter, rushing to the next announcement without stopping.Assistant Bie Zhou complained that the host’s questioning level was too poor. Lan He smiled while browsing Weibo with his head down. provocative speech.

After reading the backlog of information, he clicked on the home page to refresh again, and the news from 1 minute ago flashed into Lan He's eyes: "Damn...Damn! Dachun, Ye Qiu has passed away! I rely on Ye Qiu to have passed away !"

"real or fake?!"

"Isn't it? Has Excellent Era officially confirmed it?"

There was a sudden panic in the car, and even the driver couldn't help but want to turn around and join in the fun.Lan He hurriedly handed them the mobile phone: "It's the official statement issued by Excellent Era, saying that the contract with Ye Qiu was terminated peacefully, and the filming was announced on his behalf. Alas, what a pity."

Bie Zhou and the others also shook their heads and sighed after passing the phone back: "It's good for Ye Shen to take a rest, after all Jiang Lang is exhausted."

"Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted? Do you believe that statement?" Lan He didn't look up, but changed to a Weibo account, trying to figure out what to say.

"Don't you believe it?" Bie Zhou was stunned, "Just say that his new "Weaving Shadow" that was released last month, except for him and Su Mucheng's performance, the other Wang Ze and Zhang Jiaxing didn't even have lines. However, the plot is also in a mess."

"Excellent food looks ugly, did you know it on the first day?" Liang Yichun answered coolly in the co-pilot, "I heard Huang Shao and Yu Dui discuss it before, saying that Wang Jiexi once commented on Ye Qiu's agent Liu Hao, saying that he It's Wolf Gu Zhixiang."

"Pfft." Bie Zhou couldn't hold back, "Since when did Wang Jiexi work part-time as a photographer?"

The driver also laughed: "My girl likes Ye Qiu's movie. What's the name of his movie..." The uncle tapped the steering wheel suddenly, "Oh yes, "One Autumn Leaf", I love that movie too Look." After speaking, he began to hum the theme song contentedly, and Lan He listened to it for a long time before he could catch the tune, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Lan He also sang in his heart.At that time, he was just in college, and he competed with others for classroom rehearsal every night.Xihua next door fell in love with the schoolgirl in the class next door, and so-and-so in the class accepted some commercials and auditioned for some directors.Then one day, Blue River suddenly found that everyone—including the teacher in class—was discussing Ye Qiu and his "One Autumn Leaf".

From the director's shots to the actors' lines, everything is talked about.An old Jianghu knight-errant Jinpen wants Ye Luo to return to his roots after washing his hands. He donates all of his money to those who need it halfway. When he arrives in Yangzhou City, he needs to pawn his closet to go on. Walk.In the inn, he was ridiculed by the new chivalrous man Ye Qiu, saying that a man with ambitions everywhere should be famous in the world, punish evil and promote good.

Blue River always remembered that scene, the wet raindrops in the south were dripping on the simple eaves, dripping into the soil, converging into a black trickle, flowing down the low-lying land, and finally merging into the blue-gray moat.There are peddlers yelling from door to door to buy something.In the dim inn, the old knight remained silent.He stood up suddenly, his eyes like a knife like the moon: "I used to have a gun called Quexie." Then he walked up the stairs amidst the laughter of the crowd.

Thinking about it now, it can be regarded as a prophecy.Lan He sighed, even if his idol was Huang Shaotian, he had to admit that Ye Qiu was the dream of every actor, whether as an actor or a director, and when he was young, Lan He set it as his lifetime goal to be able to act under Ye Qiu.The sky outside the car window was gray, he closed his coat, he was not even qualified to speak out about Ye Qiu's affairs, so it's better to sleep and recharge now.

In the entertainment industry, every day you sing and I come on stage, there is never a shortage of headlines and popular gossip.It was only one month from the beginning of the month to the end of the month, and there were very few videos or articles commemorating Ye Qiu on the Internet.Lan He felt that this was also very good, people like Ye Qiu should not be treated as a cold meal year after year like those seniors in the past.Anyway, they didn't owe Ye Qiu movie tickets.

When he was thinking about this, he was still wearing half sleeves on the set to shoot idol dramas, and when he was resting, he was shivering in the cold even though he was wrapped in a down jacket, so Bie Zhou ran over to shoot sideshows for him.Lan He quickly showed a professional attitude, even if his face was as white as paper and his hands were shaking like sifting chaff, he still showed a smile to the fans.

Not long after the Weibo was posted, Bie Zhou received a private letter, saying that he is a screenwriter and director, and he wanted Lan He to try a play.Biezhou felt that the other person's profile picture looked familiar, but when he opened it, he saw a good guy, nicknamed Ye Qiu, certified by Sina, a famous director and actor.

Bie Zhou immediately forwarded the news to Lan He and Liang Yichun.Lan He was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw, Liang Yichun cautiously replied and asked if he could exchange contact information first, and then he wanted to read the script first.Lan He still looked stunned, why don't he ask about the schedule first?Liang Yichun glared at him, Ye Qiu's play, if you don't have time, you have to have time.Bie Zhou and Lan He nodded quickly, saying that they are indeed leaders, and they speak with a level.

Ye Qiu replied very quickly, and I don't know how I found him in the flood of private messages.The other side said to send the email, but the ugly words are in front of the front, small family and small business, the salary will not be too high. Five minutes later, the phone vibrated, it was an email, the script "Xiao Xiao".

The three of them looked at each other, the director shouted to start work in front, and Lan He ran over dressed like a ball with a tie boat, turned around and shouted at Liang Yichun: "Look at the script first, if it's okay, I'll put it in my pocket!"

From the company's point of view, this drama cannot be accepted because the harvest is too little.But from Blue River's point of view, doing one movie with Ye Qiu is better than doing two hundred such idol dramas.Liang Yichun read the script carefully, and couldn't help but lament that Ye Qiu is worthy of being one of the four major contemporary directors, with really sharp vision and profound brushstrokes, Jiang Lang is really a fucking scumbag.

Finally, at one o'clock in the middle of the night, the three of them gathered in the hotel room of Blue River.Liang Yichun said that the company's salary share is fixed, and after this scene, you really have to pay out of your own pocket.Lan He laughed and said that it wouldn't be so miserable, I didn't have many appearances in total, the director asked me to participate because he wanted to take advantage of my popularity.

Liang Yichun was still sighing, and Lan He looked at him quietly, and said, "We're not losing money on this deal. Having participated in Ye Qiu's movie, I can be regarded as a layer of gold. And with his connections, he can give me a lot of money in the future." It brings more than just this play.”

Even if Lan He doesn't agree, there are still a lot of little fresh meat waiting in line behind to agree.Lan He didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he hurriedly asked Liang Yichun to message Ye Qiu, saying that he agreed, and when will we meet and talk in detail.As soon as the private message was sent, everyone was busy with their own business. No one thought that Ye Qiu would not be sleeping at this hour, and the reply was extremely unusual: he sent a series of Penguin numbers, and they could chat anytime.

When Lan He saw it, he wanted to vomit blood, and thought that he couldn't think about cooperating with Ye Qiu.After the application was submitted, I found that the other party was online but refused to accept it, so I added my name to the note, and sent seventeen friend applications in a row.

The announcements of the entertainment media are naturally embellished.The men are all top-notch handsome and compelling, and the women are all as good-looking as a fairy, and Ye Qiu's place is no exception.After the two communicated on the time and place to meet on the social software of the last century, Blue River rushed there as scheduled.After seeing Ye Qiu himself, Lan He couldn't help but be speechless, thinking that this f*ck was a death by sight.

This year's H City has a rare amount of snowfall.In recent years, Lan He has rarely seen real snow while filming. Now that his feet are creaking on the snow, he thought it was fun and couldn't help but jump a few more times beside him.

"Little comrade is very lively."

"Ah?" Lan He looked up and saw a certain uncle at the entrance of the wedding company.The uncle's clothes are very old-fashioned, not as glamorous as when he was in the entertainment industry. His hair is a bit long, and his face is on Ye Qiu's face. He is a little swollen due to long-term lack of sleep. He still has a cigarette in his mouth, and he shakes it up and down when he talks.

"...Ye Shen." Lan He put away his sunglasses, and politely stepped forward to say hello, "I'm Lan He."

Ye Qiu nodded in satisfaction, smoked a cigarette and went up to meet him: "Ye Qiu, did you come alone?"

Lan He smiled politely: "I'm off today, the manager can't take a break." Ye Qiu also smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and motioned him to go into the store: "You're really brave."

"Because you are trustworthy." Lan He followed closely behind him, looking at the furnishings inside from the corner of his eye.The dignified movie queen is actually nesting here to be a wedding director for someone, really... "The current situation is the same as what I said on the Internet. The funds are available, the script is available, and other actors are still in the process of confirmation. Oh, this is our boss wife Also producer, let's get to know Lan He, Chen Guo."

Blue River has always been popular with fans in the three years since his debut because of his good looks, long legs and good conversation. Even without makeup, he is also handsome without losing his toughness. He has a cheerful and careful personality.Before Chen Guo took Ye Qiu in, she was also a fan of Blue River, so she was very happy to see a living person. If she hadn't had to act like a producer, she would have gone up and asked for an autograph: "Hello, hello!" , Just call me Sister Chen."

Behind Chen Guo was a girl with neat short hair and a light makeup, but she was also very pretty.Ye Qiu introduced from the side: "Tang Rou, used to be our master of ceremonies, but now is the master of Changle Pavilion in "Xiao Xiao"." Lan He slightly bowed and shook hands with her: "Hello." "Hello." Very suitable for Changle Pavilion master... Lan He thought, this cold temperament.

Ye Qiu set the time very early, although Lan He didn't know why, but out of respect for seniors, he still came here on time.At this moment, Chen Guo's phone calls kept coming, and Tang Rou also seemed to be going out. Lan He went to see Ye Qiu in puzzlement. The man stood with one leg bent and lacked energy. Seeing that he had doubts, he explained in a good-tempered manner: " The company is going to shoot a promotional video today, and everyone has left, so it’s just quiet enough to talk about the film.” Lan He nodded, and walked to the conference room under Chen Guo’s leadership, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, Ye Qiu's next sentence was: "Since Xiaolan is here, why don't you make a cameo appearance as a friend?"

...Why didn't Ye Qiu write about his shamelessness in those interviews?

Fortunately, Chen Guo is still a normal person. She covered the phone receiver and turned around to scold him: "Lan He just came here, can you show some face?!"

Cool.

"It's just a friendly performance, the promotional song was written by Huang Shaotian."

……What?

"If you're afraid of breaking the contract, it's okay to come and give advice. It's hard to come here once, so don't miss the opportunity." Ye Qiu said lazily from a position a little ahead of him, without any embarrassment.What kind of opportunity is this?Lan He wanted to refuse at first, but when he thought that Ye Qiu, who swept all the awards back then, couldn't even get the crew together for a movie, he couldn't help softening his heart, and agreed with a wry smile: "If you can trust me, we're done talking." It’s okay to go again.”

A triumphant smile appeared on Ye Qiu's puffy face, and he opened the room door: "Come in."

"Xiao Xiao" is a biographical historical film. The protagonist is Ji Kang, a famous scholar of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove played by Ye Qiu. From the time when he went to Luoyang to pay homage to Dr. Zhongsan until Ji Kang testified for Lu An, the small burden is that Cao Shuang was killed. The big burden is the famous "Letter of Breaking Friendship with Shan Juyuan", and there is a small easter egg at the end. It is Ji Kang's son Ji Shao who was later called a standout among the chickens.Lan He felt that Xiang Xiu, who had been following Ji Kang all the time, was the most suitable for him. He was the youngest in the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, and his personality was more similar to his own.

In the end, Ye Qiu said, it wasn't too challenging.

"Or, do you want to keep repeating yourself?"

After repeated discussions and trials, Blue River initially agreed on Zhong Hui, the number two villain.After this is confirmed, the follow-up part of the contract will be the communication between Ye Qiu and his manager Dachun.Blue River arrived around nine o'clock in the morning, because the two stars were here and it was not easy to go out for dinner, so Chen Guo came forward and ordered two takeaways to make do with it.As a junior, Lan He wanted to pay, but was stopped.

Because he didn't know the exact time to get it, Lan He booked the return ticket for the evening at the beginning.Now that it was over early, Ye Xiu dragged Lan He to the shooting location of their promotional video, coaxed him to give one-on-one guidance to more than a dozen young actors, and finally was tricked into contributing A back view is all it takes.After the excitement of the group, Chen Guo took the initiative to invite Lan He to drive him to the airport. Lan He was physically and mentally exhausted, so he shied away and agreed.

The airport in City H is far from the city center, and there is a traffic jam in the middle, but there are antique cornices and small bridges along the way, which are gentle and poetic.This kind of long journey is no stranger to artists like them who are on the go all year round.Lan He looked around in a good mood, and finally set his sights on Ye Qiu beside him.

... Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing for him to ask for an autograph later?He touched his nose with a bit of a burning face.To be honest, Ye Qiu's face is not high in the entertainment industry where handsome men and beautiful women gather, but because of his outstanding acting skills, he naturally has his own unique charm.Now even if he is wearing a simple black coat, some yellowish white shirt and jeans, and dark circles under his eyes as thick as eye makeup, he just looks a little more lazy.Damn, Lan He complained in his heart, what a fate, this is "terrible without makeup" on others, but it becomes a bonus item on Dao Ye, so why not justify it.

Ye Qiu subconsciously rubbed the knuckles of his middle finger, Lan He glanced at it calmly and then looked away, thinking that the person in front of him might be addicted to cigarettes, but he had already smoked one when the proprietress drove over. , This smoking addiction is too big.With some hesitation, he took out a mint candy from his coat pocket: "... Smoking in an air-conditioned car is not good, so you can deal with it."

"Haha, thank you." Ye Qiu took it bluntly, peeled it off and put it in his mouth.Seeing that the other party didn't intend to reject him, even though it was a bit troublesome, Lan He still couldn't help but said worriedly: "And smoking is not good for actors..."

The other party was not angry, but just glanced at him in surprise, and then smiled again: "You don't smoke? I saw you play a small warlord before, and your posture is quite standard."

"Ah...is it "Spring Snow"? That's what I learned from the big security guard on the set. Eh? Have you seen that anti-war drama?" Lan He rubbed his nose, his ears turned red.He was just playing the third male lead in it, and it was a play in the early years when he couldn't choose a script. He really didn't expect the famous Ye Qiu to watch it, and he felt ashamed to play it.

"Uh, to be exact, it's just a fragment. It's a bit long story." Ye Qiu's cheeks were bulging, which was a bit funny and cute in contrast. Question: "Isn't it... Mr. Yu recommended..."

"Indeed." Ye Dao is a well-known cheerful person. He is comfortably pillowing on the backrest at the moment, squinting his eyes with the usual smile of his seniors molesting his juniors, and his words are a bit vague: "We hang your Lanxi Media brand, You take the share in the later stage. Based on the principle of mutual help, Wenzhou recommended you, which can not only add some decent weight to your current experience, but also help me attract attention. Therefore," Director Ye half-opened Looking at him, he switched the sugar to the other side: "So I went to see your previous works."

...to make sure I'm not a vase.Blue River silently answered in his heart.He has an urban comedy in October this year, the ratings are particularly high, and he plays a very likable second male lead in it, so when Ye Qiu took the initiative to find him, he thought that he only got into it because of his real strength. Director Ye's eyes.

Alas, but at least it was not returned, which is a kind of proof in disguise, Lan He comforted himself.He stared out the window blankly, and suddenly heard Ye Qiu say, "What do you think of the script?"

"I think...it's pretty good. But...it's particularly difficult, because the storyline is not good enough." Lan He hastily added: "But it's definitely okay if it's your words."

"Haha, Xiaolan," the other party was not angry, but rather happy, "How can I decide whether the movie is good or not? You can tell me the details, and it's up to me whether you choose it or not."

"The plot of "Xiao Xiao" looks simple, but it is actually very trivial. Its apex is piled up by many very small plots, which are delicate but scattered. There is also an ending. Although it stops abruptly at the "Letter of Breaking Up Friends", it seems very interesting. However, for people who don’t understand this period of history, it’s anticlimactic.” Talking about the plot in front of Ye Qiu is really tricky, but Lan He feels that as an ordinary person, since he has seen these problems, he still has to go into details. Explain to the director in detail that perfunctory has never been his attitude: "Since Ye Shen chose Ji Kang as a character, he definitely didn't just want to make a literary film, but also wanted to use it to play a card of affection. box office, it is even more necessary to seriously explain this story to the audience.”

"Then how do you think I should change it?" Ye Qiu rested his elbows on the car window, propped his face with his palms, and looked at him with a half-smile.Lan He stared at his bright black eyes, and suddenly thought of the old knight in Ye Qiu's first movie seven years ago, with rough and thick palms, and the wind and frost of the rivers and lakes hidden in his voice, saying that I There was once a gun named Quexie, and a young man who laughed loudly stretched his eyebrows and fists, as if the world was in his hands.

He wondered if there was a possibility that he understood him.

Lan He looked out of the window and began to think seriously, regardless of whether Ye Qiu or Chen Guo would laugh at him: "In the end, movies are about stories, and stories are about people. Now too much emphasis on stories has been ignored People themselves... and they are too biased towards literary films, to be honest, they are very different from your previous films." Seeing that Ye Qiu and Chen Guo didn't interrupt him, they gradually became bolder, and said calmly: "Literature Although the film may be easy to win awards, it will not be able to recover the cost now. If you cannot recover the cost, you will not be regarded as a successful comeback. Ah, it is really cheesy to say the cost of the cost," suddenly realized that what I said was a little bit Too many, Lan He resisted the embarrassment and scratched his hair, dyed the base of his ears a blush, and tried to smooth things over: "But this is all theoretical, whether the movie is good or not is affected by many aspects... and the current box office is also high. It doesn't mean it's a good work, isn't there something like stealing tickets every year..."

The boy's brows frowned slightly, and his short fluffy hair was messed up by him.The bright eyes rolled around in a bewilderment, occasionally sneaking a glance at him, Ye Xiu was almost amused.The current entertainment industry is a mess, and it is very rare to hear such words from a junior who has just entered the industry for a few years.

A long time later, when Ye Xiu recalled the whole process of knowing Lan He, he would also think about when he first fell in love with him.Although certainly not now.But at this moment, there is no doubt that this handsome and gentle junior has planted the seed of admiration in his heart.
