Chapter 1: Chapter 1: A Chance Encounter in Hengdian
Yixi met Xu Muzu in a Hong Kong style café in Hengdian.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, she was a little tired after meeting with the assistant director, and chose this restaurant to have something to eat, but when she ordered, she found that the waiter's attention was not on her, and her eyes glanced to the corner of the restaurant from time to time.The table sat three people, outside the plant set a lush potted plants, Yixi can not see their appearance, can only be distinguished from the clothing is two men and a woman.
This is Hengdian, it is normal for celebrities to be around, and those should be actors filming in the vicinity.She originally didn't care, however, seeing the waitress girl's eyes popping out, she still couldn't help but be curious, "Who is it?"
The waitress then remembered that she was still working and apologised, "Sorry, I'm a bit excited to see my idol.You don't know, I've liked him for years, this is the first time I've seen a real person ... Do you think I should go up and ask for an autograph later?"
Such a familiar nature, Yixi did not feel uncomfortable, cooperate with the contemplation of the moment, "Of course, to send the door to the fat sheep, do not want for nothing.Beware that if you miss this time, there won't be a next time."
The waiter agreed, but struggled for a moment and sighed sadly, "Forget it, he came with his friends, it's not good for me to disturb.Besides, he has such a full schedule lately, he must be exhausted, it's not easy for him to take a holiday, don't let me ruin it."
This looking ahead, Yixi raises her eyebrows, "Pro-mom fan ah."
The waitress smiled cheekily, "That's not true!I've been a fan for so many years, and I finally saw him red, so I'm in a complicated mood.I'm afraid that he's too busy working too hard, but I also hope that he can make more good works and rise higher, this kind of tangle you outsiders don't understand."
She held up her index finger and waved it in front of Yixi, looking very amused.Yixi lost her smile, but then found the key in the words, her back leaned back, she slowly removed her sunglasses, revealing a face like snow like jade, "You idolise ... the male stars who have recently gone red?"
This period of time red up male artiste her impression is only that one, don't be what she thought?
The waitress, however, did not answer.She looked at Yixi in a daze, just by the sunglasses covered most of her face, she was also attached to the idol, did not pay attention to what this tall and slim female guest looks like, at this moment suddenly see clearly, was suddenly stunned.
Shit, beauty ah!The big beauty that blinded her eyes!
The girl in front of her looked at most twenty years old, very young and even a little tender, but her natural beauty could not be hidden.And nowadays the screen popular cone face actress is different, she has a standard goose-egg face and phoenix eyes, clear skin, breakable, speak bright eyes big eyes blinking a blink, so that she on a pair of actually heartbeat accelerated.
"Eh?"
She stammered, "Huh?That, that, didn't I say who it was?It's the leading man of the TV series that ... was broadcast during the New Year, 'Southern Garden Legacy', the one who played Liu Diaoqi.His real name is Xu ... Xu Muzu."
Xu Muzu, of course she knew his name was Xu Muzu.The current popularity of the new generation of young students, starring in the TV series "South Garden Legacy Love" broadcast in the New Year, the highest ratings of 3.08, can be said to be an overnight success.
However, for Yixi, these are not the most important things.He also has a label on him that very few people know about, and that is ... her ex-boyfriend.
It is really a narrow road, I did not think that I could run into it even if I had a meal, and I also climbed into a conversation with his own mother's powder, bad luck bad luck.
Yixi put away her handbag, "Suddenly remembered that there is something else, I do not eat, sorry."
Pushing away the frothing waitress, she was about to leave, when a man came out from the corner they had been watching for a long time.He was tall and straight, wearing a black casual jumper with khaki trousers, a very everyday outfit, but still handsome enough to catch the eye.Yixi asserted that with his current popularity, if he hadn't covered his face with a hat when he went out, he would not have been able to leave Yokohama alive.
The other party also saw her, but did not show surprise, walking over with his hands in his pockets, "Heard your voice.What, come to meet the director?"
"Just took a new job."She faintly said.
Xu Muzhou nodded, "You'll be living in Hengdian next?"
"I guess so."
Her face full of detachment made Xu Muzhou's brows knit up, having the heart to ask for clarification, but the occasion was really inappropriate.The afternoon sunlight shot through the floor-to-ceiling windows, his cool features were also shrouded in warm light, Yixi looked at him like this, but remembered the boredom in the man's eyes on the night of the breakup.Nodding slightly, she said, "Senior brother, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
He froze, "Okay, you go."
Yixi turned her head and smiled at the waitress as well, the little girl was already dying from being so close to her idol and didn't even notice her gesture.I thought this unpleasant chance encounter could end there, but then I heard another voice.
"Xiao Xi, why did you leave?Come in and have a chat, I haven't seen you in a while."
Yixi paused before turning her head back, Yinru appeared beside the potted plant at an unknown time, looking at her with a light smile.Unlike her usual TV appearances where she was always delicate and charming, today she only wore light make-up and her skin was as clear as a peeled egg.Her smile looked kind, but fell into Yixi's eyes like the sharpest needle point.
The hand that was pinching the handbag moved, and she smiled back, ''So Sister Yinru is also here, Senior Brother you didn't say so earlier.Since Sister Yin Ru doesn't mind me interrupting, then I'll come and rub some food in it!"
In addition to Xu Muzu and Yin Ru, there was also a tall, dark-skinned man present, Yixi saw that he looked familiar but couldn't recall where she had seen him, and it was useless to hear his name.Fortunately, the focus of the conversation wasn't on him either, Yin Ru took the initiative almost as soon as she sat down, "Just now I told Muzhou it was you, but he didn't believe me.How's that, my eyesight of 1.5 isn't a boast, right?"
Xu Muzhou didn't answer, and Yixi laughed, "Why is Sister Yinru here?Going to shoot a new film?"
"En... wasn't supposed to be able to say, but there will be news coming out in a few hours, so it's okay to disclose a bit to you in advance.It's that there's a new drama to be filmed, and Murezhou and I will be entering the group tomorrow, as well as this teacher Gong Wenfei as well."
"Oh, so Sister Yinru and Senior Xu are going to work together again?It hasn't been long since 'Southern Garden Legacy' was aired, and now the two of you are playing a couple again, the gimmick must be huge!"
That dark-skinned Gong Wenfei said, "I was thinking the same thing, but unfortunately, the two of them aren't playing a couple this time."
Yin Ru said, "What's a pity, where does that director's play need this kind of gimmick?And if I keep tying up with Mu Zhou, Xiao Xi should be unhappy."
Gong Wenfei heard the implication in the words, and his gaze suspiciously swept between Yixi and Xu Muzu, gauging the relationship between the two.It had to be said that the young girl was really pretty, her temperament was pure and full of aura, and she had few rivals in the entertainment industry where beautiful women were gathered, so if Xu Muzu really had something with her, he would not be surprised.
Yixi acted as if she didn't realise, ''Sister Yinru, don't joke with me.But you said big director, I wonder which big director?"
Unlike Xu Muzu's newfound popularity, Yin Ru had become famous two years ago, and her popularity had been pushed to the top by "Southern Garden Legacy".A director who could make her talk about him in such a tone of voice must not be a small person.
Yin Ru and Gong Wenfei looked at each other, both of them seemed to be hesitating, then Yin Ru apologised, ''I'm sorry, I can't say too much because I signed a confidentiality agreement.Anyway, it won't be long before you hear the news."
Gong Wenfei said, "Miss Yi calls Teacher Xu her senior, are you also a student at the Capital Film Academy?The acting department?"
"Yes, I'm under my junior year and will graduate next year."
"Then Miss Yi should have started filming too, you're so pretty, you must have a bright future."
The film academy doesn't have such a strict control on students going out to film when they reach their junior year, so many people will start going to various theatre sets at this time to look for opportunities, and since she appeared in Hengdian, she's most likely to be running the show in some TV dramas.
Yin Ru also said, "Yes, Xiao Xi you work hard, if you need any help you can come to me, don't be polite."
She touched her hand that was resting on the table, Yi Xi looked at her water onion like nails and suddenly remembered that two months ago in Xu Muzu's flat, she had watched her caress his face like this.Xu Muzu was lolling on the sofa in deep sleep, while her fingertips stroked from his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose, gentle to the core.He didn't panic when he found her coming in, and stood up calmly, smiling gently as he passed next to her, "Don't get me wrong, we're just friends."
At that moment, she really wanted to learn from Rongma and stick needles into her nails!
That day Xu Muzu insisted on driving Yi Xi back to the hotel, and when she arrived at the door she said, "Well you should go, if the paparazzi catch you, it's not clear.I don't want to go out as your rumoured girlfriend."
He looks at her, his expression is still consistently cold, but what he says scares people to death, "If the paparazzi catches us, we'll go public."
Yixi said, "Make what public?We've already broken up."
He wrinkled his eyebrows, "I thought you were just throwing a tantrum ..."
A pedestrian walks past the car and both of them fall into silence, a moment later he says, "I was too tired that night so I wasn't in a good mood, don't take what I said seriously."
"But my words were true.I'm going to break up with you and you promised at the time, so we're okay now."
"Hee ..."
She pulled open the car door and wanted to get down, but he grabbed her hand, "Because of Yinru?You broke up with me because of her?"
"I fought with you because of her, but breaking up wasn't."
He looked at her, "I don't understand."
"There are some things I've said once and I don't want to say them again, since you don't understand, so be it."
Shaking off his hand, she left without looking back, as she had that night in the snowy Si Yong Pavilion, resolutely saying the words break up.
As soon as she entered the hotel room she logged on to the Tianya Entertainment Gossip Board, and sure enough, there was already a breaking news post out on the first page, and the building was capped high.
"No one eight this?Recently, the very hot on-screen couple to work together again, this time is a film, big director big production!"
Scrolling down, quickly sorting out the key to the breaking news, the owner of the building was decisively a headline party, although the two were involved in that big production, they played supporting roles, and the film, in addition to the two features of the title, also revealed that the male and female protagonists were both film emperors and queens who had won international awards, and that this was their second time working together.
With so many hints added together, Yixi would be a fool not to guess it.
Sure enough, it was this.Director Qin Weidong's new film that had been in preparation for three years, with an investment of 360 million yuan and a Hollywood production team, starring actor Lai Cheng Lang and actress Zhang Siqi, this year's most talked about film, Raiding the Palace!
Clutching her laptop and collapsing on the bed, she let out a long sigh of relief.
The next two months of her life would predictably be exciting ...
Although the internet had begun to explode with speculation, the actor was quiet without having to respond, leaving things to her agent and filming the film herself without worry.Tomorrow to officially enter the group, the deputy director of "Raiding the Palace" organised a gathering of the actors in Hengdian in advance to familiarise themselves with each other.
Xu Muzhou and Yin Ru arrived one after another, chatting with the other actors while waiting for the assistant director.The Closing of the Palace was a closed filming, which had started in a low-key manner three weeks ago. Director Qin Weidong had brought Film Director Li and Film Queen Zhang to shoot some of the indoor scenes at the Beijing Film Studio, and they were about to move to Hengdian tonight.Everyone was speculating whether those three would come to this meal, only Xu Muzhou was silent.
"What's wrong?You look preoccupied."Yin Ru asked.
Xu Muzhou pressed his forehead, "I didn't sleep well last night."
Yin Ru thought for a moment and lowered her voice to come close to his ear, "Is it because of Xiao Xi?I can see that she seems to have some misunderstandings about me, do you guys ..."
Xu Muzhou's brows furrowed as he said firmly, "We're fine."
A male actor on the opposite side laughed at the situation, "Looking at you guys, I doubt those rumours on the internet are true.Is it hard to believe that there's another fake couple out there?"
His flirting was rewarded with sideways glances from the crowd, Xu Muzhou grew more and more annoyed, and Yin Ru was just about to say something when she saw the door to the box open.The assistant director led a girl in, "I'm late, I'm late, there was a delay.Let me introduce to you, this is also an actor from our group, a young girl who is still studying."
The girl nodded towards the crowd, and when she looked up, she revealed a pretty face, her long black satin-like hair hanging down at her waist, her smile as clear as a babbling brook, "Hello teachers, my name is Yixi, I'll be working with you all from now on."
