MTL - After Entering a Book, He Just Wants to be a Flower Vase-Chapter 74 But I really... can't cry

For a while, Jiang Dao and Chu Yinlong did not see each other again. They adjust their status at home according to the requirements of the pastor, all for March 16th, "Dawn City" will officially start.

Since the background of the story is in the near-future apocalyptic wasteland, most of the shooting of "Dawn City" will be carried out in a green screen studio, and all "external scenes" will be presented in the form of real close-ups and virtual distant views. Therefore, in the green screen studio, it is necessary to build many simulated outdoor scenes, and the details are required to be realistic everywhere.

At the same time, in order not to affect the actors' control over the emotional scenes, director Mu planned to shoot in full accordance with the progress of the story line, so the set up may need to span the entire shooting cycle, and the venue funds are burned every day.

"So, I hope that everyone will be in the best condition to shoot. It is best not to leave the group during the whole process. You can change your scene at any time, and you can be there at any time." Director Mu still spoke straightforwardly, "The shooting task will be very It’s hard work, fast-paced, and demanding, so be prepared for a protracted battle.”

On the day of the opening ceremony, the first scene filmed, according to the timeline in the story, was a clip of the little gray wolf standing in the guard of the city lord of Dawn City, silently looking at the back of the leader.

Although this episode will be edited into the form of memory clips in the end, interspersed in the main plot, the shots are very short, but the shooting starts with four cameras, and two of them are close-ups, so the micro-expressions on Jiang Dao’s face The requirements for emotional control are very high.

Director Mu patted Jiang Dao on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, I'm not superstitious here that you have to go through the first shot once, just relax and play it. Just do it a few more times until you catch the little bad wolf." emotional state at the time."

Jiang Dao nodded and followed Qi Peng into the shooting location.

He said he didn’t care about the first shot, but before the filming started, Director Mu still asked all the actors to be in their positions, and adjusted the set and lighting before starting the shooting. There will be no surprises.

Everything was ready, and the pastor signaled to turn on the board and turn it on.

The little gray wolf, dressed in humble slave clothing, knelt in a corner and scrubbed the floor.

The leader of the city lord's guard walked past him while talking with someone, and walked slowly to the other end of the corridor.

When the footsteps were getting further away, the little gray wolf got up slightly, turned his face halfway, and secretly looked at the leader's back, his eyes were full of suppressed admiration and longing...

Very simple scene, the shooting process took less than a minute.

The scene was silent, until the leader of the guard played by Qi Peng disappeared at the end of the corridor, and no one made a sound in the field.

Director bit.

Mu Zhixing carefully looked at the close-up picture displayed on the monitor, checked all the effects of the four camera positions, and finally a smile slowly broke out on the corner of his mouth: "Not bad, it's over."

There was a round of applause in the field.

"Good job, the first shot is over!"

"Very good, very good, a good start!"

"Not bad, keep working hard, everyone!"

The atmosphere of the crew was full of joy and encouragement.

Jiang Dao subconsciously looked at Chu Yinlong, saw that the other party was looking at him with a smile, and gave him a thumbs up.

With a burning heart, Jiang Dao suddenly did not dare to maintain eye contact, and suddenly looked away.

The role of the little gray wolf is different from Jess, there are too many inner dramas, he finally found the feeling, but he can't break his work so quickly - the reason why he can grasp the mood of the little gray wolf so quickly is because he and Chu Yin Long hadn't seen each other for half a month, so he could magnify the desire and hope in his heart and put them into the shooting.

Once he ran to talk to Chu Yinlong at this time, Jiang Dao was afraid that it would be difficult for him to act out the feeling of longing for it.

Be patient, he will go to Chu Yinlong again after the filming of this scene is over.

Jiang Dao pursed his lips, suppressing the restlessness in his heart, and ruthlessly ignored Chu Yinlong.

Not far away, Chu Yinlong was a little depressed.

Although he could guess that Jiang Dao probably snubbed him again to get into the drama, but... this feeling is really too uncomfortable. He can't wait to shoot the stage where the two share life and death together and connect with each other. If these emotionally alienated scenes continue to be filmed, he feels...it's not good for his heart.

After the first shot of the boot was finished, it was considered to be the beginning of this movie.

Next, the actors and staff were divided into groups, and each went to other scenes to shoot independent scenes. Chu Yinlong also temporarily went to cooperate with group B to shoot some hand close-ups, foot close-ups and other clips that have little impact on the plot.

As for Jiang Dao's Group A, all the arrangements on the first day were scenes about the city guards in Little Bad Wolf's memories.

After the first shot, Jiang Dao began to gradually realize how outrageous what Chu Yinlong said was that "director Mu has high requirements for movie screens".

If you take a big step, do it again; if you swing your arms at a bad angle, do it again; if you blink your eyes slowly, do it again; if you have done all these details, but if you haven’t done your emotions, you should do it again...

However, except for Jiang Dao, who was working with director Mu for the first time, the other cast and crew seemed to be accustomed to such a rhythm of polishing over and over again, and had no complaints about the arrangement of director Mu, even as long as Mu Zhixing looked at the monitor and frowned , the props, lighting and scene management have consciously started to rearrange, ready to do it again.

By the time the filming of all the scenes of Group A ended today, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Dao cleaned up briefly, and was about to go back to the hotel, but was dragged away by Director Mu.

Mu Zhixing lowered his voice and told him: "Tomorrow, we will film the scene where you and Xiao Chu meet for the first time. You two will meet tonight and adjust your emotions. Don't feel like a stranger by then. Give me a dissatisfaction with your desires." ..."

Jiang Dao never expected to receive such a suggestion, and was stunned.

The pastor added: "But you are not allowed to stay overnight. If you two come to filming tomorrow with a happy face, I will throw you two into the pool to be quiet."

Jiang Dao: ...

Coming out of the studio, the sky is already full of stars.

The filming of Group B ended earlier, when the lights in the venue were turned off.

Jiang Dao followed his assistant into the car and returned to the hotel where he was staying. As soon as he swiped his card to open the door, he was pulled into the room by a hand and pressed on the door panel for an eager and passionate kiss.

He asked his assistant to give Chu Yinlong a room card for this room, just to make it easier for Chu Yinlong to come over at any time.

Jiang Dao was not surprised when he was "surprised" at this moment—after all, he hadn't seen each other for two weeks, and he really wanted to get close to Chu Yinlong. It is conceivable that Chu Yinlong should be in the same mood.

After the kiss was over, Jiang Dao panted quickly: "You are in ambush... If I didn't recognize you quickly, I would have screwed you to the ground..."

Chu Yinlong hugged him tightly, and said with a deep smile: "You can't beat me now."

Jiang Dao snorted, but the fact was that he couldn't help but be convinced.

Not wanting to waste time on unimportant things, Jiang Dao directly reached out and began to unbutton Chu Yinlong's belt. Chu Yinlong also cooperated very much, and started to unbutton Jiang Dao...

It's that simple and straightforward for grown men in love to get along with each other.

After finishing their business, the two took a shower together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chu Yinlong helped Jiang Dao dry his hair, Jiang Dao issued an order to evict the guests: "It's getting late, you should go back quickly."

The emotion in Chu Yinlong's eyes suddenly dimmed.

After a moment of silence, he put down the hair dryer, lowered his head to hold Jiang Dao's face, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Dao, we are lovers, not bed partners. We haven't seen each other for two weeks, so all you want to do with me is have sex?"

Jiang Dao raised his face, eyes full of puzzlement: "Then... what else can I do?"

They are currently on the set, and it's so late, so they can't watch a movie and have a supper after finishing the work... After all, they have to film tomorrow, and it's not good to rest too late.

Seeing Jiang Dao's expression, Chu Yinlong's heart sank.

He barely controlled his expression, raised his hand and gently rubbed Jiang Dao's soft hair.

Finding that Chu Yinlong was in a bad mood, Jiang Dao immediately added: "It was Director Mu who reminded me not to stay overnight with you. Tomorrow we will play strangers, so we must adjust our emotions in advance. And it's almost twelve o'clock now." Now, you should go back and rest."

Chu Yinlong twitched the corner of his mouth: "That's right."

After waiting for a while, seeing that Jiang Dao didn't speak anymore, he nodded: "Then I'll go back."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave.

This time, Jiang Dao sensed Chu Yinlong's loss, and stretched out his hand to grab Chu Yinlong's sleeve.

"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?" He asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me? Be clear? I... I'm in love for the first time, and I don't know what to do."

Although he has read love novels, he also knows that people in this world have different expectations for love than those outside the books, but they are just stories after all, and they did not teach him how to act when falling in love with people in this world. He could only grope, copying the pursuit of physical pleasure from the "couples" in the world outside the book.

But the current results tell him that this approach does not seem to be correct.

Jiang Dao clutched Chu Yinlong's sleeve, and slowly tightened his fingers.

"Can you teach me?" He got up and took two steps forward, approaching Chu Yinlong, "I... don't want to see you sad."

In the next second, Chu Yinlong turned around suddenly, and suddenly took Jiang Dao into his arms and hugged him tightly.

After a long time, he kissed Jiang Dao's forehead, lowered his eyes and smiled wryly: "I'm not sad, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that you are just...just..."

I can't continue talking halfway through.

He didn't want to admit that possibility, but he could tell from Jiang Dao's eyes that Jiang Dao didn't actually depend much on him.

So he became more and more worried about gain and loss, and wanted to grasp something and confirm the other party's mind.

Hearing Chu Yinlong hesitate to speak, Jiang Dao suddenly remembered what Zhou Wei had said: "Are you afraid... I'm just greedy for you?"

Chu Yinlong lowered his eyes, felt the warm body of the person in his arms, and finally admitted frankly: "...Yes."

Jiang Dao asked, "Why do you think so?"

Silent for a long time, Chu Yinlong said: "Because I can't see that you have any reluctance to me...even if you have to live separately for the sake of entering the play, but when you let me go, it seems that there is no nostalgia at all. Half of us Yue didn't meet, it seems...you are satisfied after finishing it."

Jiang Dao said nothing.

Because he really thinks this is very good, two people can communicate with each other without defense, and they can play in harmony on the bed, isn't this... not satisfying enough?

Chu Yinlong gently rubbed Jiang Dao's temples with his cheeks, and said in a soft and tender tone: "But I am not satisfied. I still want to talk to you, what I encountered on the set today, and hug You sleep, even if you don’t do anything. I think the last thing I see before going to bed is to look at you, and the first thing I see when I wake up every morning. Even if I have to live separately in order to enter the play, even if it’s just at night...I also I will be reluctant."

Jiang Dao lowered his eyelashes, and after a while, he murmured, "I like what you said too..."

He retreated slightly, raised his eyes to look at Chu Yinlong: "But we are not only today... We can meet tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. We can be together for a long time, just separated for a short while, you... Why are you reluctant?"

We can be together for a long time...

With these words in his heart, Chu Yinlong's eyes surged with emotion: "You think so?"

Jiang Dao didn't evade: "Yes. We are so close, but it's not life and death."

Chu Yinlong laughed suddenly, he hugged Jiang Dao again, and leaned his body slightly on the young man's shoulder, as if a little weak, trying to seek some support from Jiang Dao.

Jiang Dao put his arms around Chu Yinlong's waist, and said in a low voice: "We can do the things you said every day after the movie is finished... I will let you put me to bed and wake me up every day, is that okay?"

Chu Yinlong smiled lowly: "Okay. This is what you promised yourself."

Hugging quietly for a while, Chu Yinlong let go of his hands and stepped back slightly.

"Then, shall I read scriptures to put you to sleep?" He asked in a low voice.

That's fine.

Jiang Dao nodded in agreement.

Until Jiang Dao fell asleep in the clear Sanskrit sound, Chu Yinlong got up and walked to the bed, and placed a light peck on the young man's lips.

Staring at Jiang Dao's sleeping face for a while, he murmured to himself: "...Why do you think that life and death are only worth parting with? I obviously don't want to leave you for a moment."

Enoshima, who was asleep, naturally wouldn't answer.

After a long time, Chu Yinlong exhaled slowly, got up and turned off the light in the room, and pushed the door lightly to go out.

…

The next day, when he came to the set, Jiang Dao returned to his previous indifferent and alienated mood.

The scene to be filmed today is that he accepts the arrangement of the leader of the city guard army, prepares to create a "hero to save the beauty" artificially, and meets Xia Tian, ​​​​the son of the leader of the rebel army, so as to break into the rebel army.

Of course, what the city guards did secretly will not be mentioned at the beginning of the movie, but will keep the audience in the dark, making people think that the little gray wolf was really saved from a group of villains by Xia Tian—— The first meeting between Xia Tian and the little gray wolf is the real beginning of this movie, and the main perspective of the movie's narrative is actually on Xia Tian's side.

The rebel scouts led by Xia Tian encountered a certain team of the city guards in a deserted city ruins, and saw that team of city guards brutally pulling a skinny young man out of the collapsed room.

Xu Shi had experienced many fights before, the young man had wounds, the dried blood was mixed with a few wisps of bright red, his entire face was pale and dirty, and his hair was also stuck together by blood scabs, making him look inconspicuous.

— But unfortunately, this boy has a pair of too beautiful eyes. When he was roughly pressed to the ground by a few city guards and ripped apart his pants, his eyes were still full of fearless determination. Even though he was outnumbered and unable to resist, he still tried his best to fight back. He bit the wrist of one of them, even though he was suddenly kicked in the abdomen, he never let go.

When those eyes suddenly looked over, Xia Tian seemed to see a wolf who would rather die than surrender.

By the time he reacted, Xia Tian rushed forward in a feverish manner, overturning those city guards who were trying to do evil to the ground.

The young man leaned against the ruined wall, trying to cover his body with the torn pieces of cloth, biting his lip, with a stubborn expression on his face.

After injuring and driving away several city guards, Xia Tian returned to the original place, took off his coat, and put it on the boy.

"Just you?" He looked at the collapsed ruins around him and asked softly, "Where's your family?"

The young man answered indifferently: "Dead."

Orphans like him are not uncommon in the wasteland of the apocalyptic war, and more than half of the rebel army are rescued and conscripted orphans.

Xia Tian also moved to bring people back to the rebel army, and asked, "What's your name?"

The young man's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his clear and exquisite eyes looked at Xia Tian with sharp eyes.

After looking at it for a while, he answered, "I don't have a name. In the past... they all called me Little Gray Wolf."

"Little gray wolf..." Xia Tian murmured, and said with a smile, "It's quite suitable for you."

The little gray wolf was noncommittal.

Xia Tian tentatively said: "Since you are only left alone, why don't you join us?"

The little gray wolf asked, "Are you full?"

Xia Tian replied: "Satisfy."

Little Gray Wolf didn't hesitate: "Okay."

"Ok, this part is over." Director Mu announced loudly from the director's seat.

It took two full days of filming for this episode to finally meet Mu Zhixing’s requirements. Just the very first scene where the little gray wolf was pulled out by the city guards to commit violence was repeated no less than ten times—everything was light or heavy. , If the staggering steps are ugly, you have to do it all over again, even when you are being pressed to the ground and tear your clothes, the shape of the cloth swinging is ugly and you have to do it all over again.

If it weren't for the steady progress of the four-month filming schedule, Jiang Dao even doubted whether the film could be finished within the expected time.

…

After the little gray wolf successfully joins the rebel army, it is naturally impossible to follow Xia Tian immediately. Therefore, in the following plot, Jiang Dao and Chu Yinlong's rivalry scenes are not too many.

There is less rivalry, but outside the camera, the relationship between the two people is much more comfortable.

Don't have to worry about the uncontrollable emotions during filming, they can often stay together, play against each other, chat, and get tired of being together like other couples.

Director Mu's scenes were not as thrilling and exciting as Chu Yinlong's own design. Although it was a bit exhausting to repeat and polish, in general, the filming went very smoothly.

The little gray wolf made rapid progress in the training and daily combat of the rebel army, and performed very well. Finally, one day, he got the opportunity to go to the scout team where Xia Tian was.

This is a street fighting scene in the ruins of a narrow city.

Due to the narrow terrain, a lot of line of sight is blocked, and the use of firearms is limited to a certain extent, this part of the fight scene is more in line with the definition of an action movie than the previous battle scenes.

Jiang Dao hangs the wire, jumps out of an abandoned window of a building, grabs the rusted rainwater pipe beside the wall and slides down. After landing, he rolls to the side to avoid the incoming bullets, and quickly hides in the collapsed short building next to him. behind the wall.

This series of actions is a continuous long shot, and if there is a slight mistake in it, the whole set of actions will have to be repeated, such as now—

"Weiya is tight, and the clothes are deformed." Director Mu stared at the monitor with a serious face, "Xiao Dao, you should move a little faster when you slide down the water pipe... Now this shot is a bit long, and the rhythm is not tense enough. "

Jiang Dao looked up at the set and suggested, "I can let go and jump down from the top of the first floor."

Director Mu frowned: "The next thing is to roll and dodge, can you do it?"

Jiang Dao nodded: "Well, the height is more than three meters and less than four meters, no problem."

The pastor thought for a while, and agreed to the plan: "Then give it a try."

So, Jiang Dao ran into the set building again, climbed all the way to the fourth floor, and asked the styling assistant waiting here to help him restore the look, and started shooting again.

After another two jumps, the shot finally passed. Jiang Dao rubbed his numb ankle, took a drink of mineral water from Chu Yinlong, and continued the next shot without stopping.

After that, it was the plot where the little gray wolf sneaked into the center of the battle, blocked a sneak attack for Xia Tian, ​​and then fought side by side.

In the narrow dark alley, the fighting was fierce.

Xia Tian and two other members of the scouting team were blocked here, trying to break through the encirclement.

The little gray wolf broke through the obstacles all the way to find it, and happened to bump into a city guard sneaking up to Xia Tian from behind, and the dagger in his hand flashed coldly—

Without any hesitation, the little gray wolf raised his gun and killed the attacker, and then cooperated with Xia Tian and the others to tear a breakthrough in the encirclement of the city guards.

"The enemies outside are almost eliminated," the little gray wolf said quickly in Xia Tian's ear, "Retreat to the east, where the cleaning is relatively clean."

"Okay." Xia Tian led the people to retreat without hesitation.

On the way to retreat, the group encountered interception and started a dark alley chase.

In a critical moment, the little gray wolf pushed Xia Tian away and blocked an attack for him, and was shot in the leg, bleeding profusely.

"Little gray wolf!" Xia Tian hugged him and led him into the bunker.

"I can't die here..." The little gray wolf turned pale from the pain, but still gritted his teeth, "Brother...take me away!"

Xia Tian didn't say anything.

He swiftly drew out the dagger, cut open the trouser leg of the little bad wolf, then pulled the cloth and tied a simple tourniquet to help the boy treat the wound briefly, then carried the man on his back, continued to break through, and finally succeeded in taking the boy with him. The gray wolf joined the reinforcements and boarded the car back to the base.

"That's right, it's over." Director Mu was obviously very satisfied with the final scene, and he rarely smiled, "Everyone has worked hard, we will stop here today, and we will switch to the indoor drama tomorrow."

Everyone on the set immediately applauded and cheered—indoor literary drama shooting is much easier than battlefield scenes. During this period of battle shooting for two weeks, I can finally rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, not long after the filming had just entered the stage of indoor literary drama, the crew finally encountered a big problem.

After the little gray wolf was injured for blocking the gun for Xia Tian, ​​Xia Tian has been taking special care of him, and the atmosphere between the two young people has gradually become ambiguous.

Finally, after personally changing the medicine for the little bad wolf's leg injury, Xia Tian was kissed and seduced into bed by the boy.

Jiang Dao also ushered in a task that was almost impossible for him at this time.

"I'm sorry." He sat on the edge of the set bed topless, his eyelashes drooping, "but I really...can't cry."
