coronation of stars

Chapter 16
When Qiao Yan knocked on the door of Mu Ting's studio with a night snack, she stood at the door and glanced inside. She was stunned for a moment, stood at the door hesitantly, and glanced at the ground.

"...It's snowing outside today, so the soles of the shoes probably aren't very clean." She hesitated carrying her dinner and glanced at the ground again, then raised her head and asked Mu Ting, "Are there any extra slippers?"

"You don't need to change your shoes, please come in..." The people in the studio replied with the same embarrassment. The cleaning of this office building is actually doing a good job, but everyone is working overtime recently, and their lives are too sloppy, which makes them appear disorganized.After tidying up and mopping the floor just now, the white tile floor, which had been restored to its original color, suddenly looked radiant and too clean.Right now, the keyboard player Song Huan took the lead, graciously took the takeaway bag from Qiao Yan, opened it impatiently, and started screaming one after another.

"Raw congee! Raw porridge! My God, this aroma! It tastes like being alive!!"

"What kind of noodles is this? It smells so good! But there is no chili, how can you eat noodles without chili... oh, there is a bag of chili next to it, it's so good, I will eat this, Song Huan took your salty pork knuckle from me Take it off your face!"

"Here's a box lunch! Let me see what's in it... Oh my god, it's meat! So much meat!! I'm going to throw up after eating instant noodles for three meals a day. I'm so happy. I want to take a picture and post it Weibo..."

Which primitive society do you come from? You have never seen the world before, so why are you crying like ghosts and howling like wolves?shame!Mu Ting was humiliated by the exclamation of others, and felt that his face was completely humiliated by these pig teammates.

"They usually...well, no, don't mind these things too much." He explained to Qiao Yan in vain, but couldn't help but sniffled slightly.

It smells really good.

Probably because he didn’t understand their tastes, Qiao Yan bought many kinds of late-night snacks and brought them here. An hour ago, the studio was still filled with a thick, bitter tobacco smell. After staying for a long time, he didn’t feel anything, but suddenly smelled the warm and solid aroma of the food. It will indeed give people a solid sense of satisfaction.Mu Ting coughed twice, glanced unnaturally at the few worthless people who were scrambling for food, and couldn't help but reservedly joined their team.

"Hmm... Qiao Yan, which one did you bring for me?"

Anyway, he and Qiao Yan are the only ones who know each other here, so they will be treated a little bit special... Mu Ting felt that he was not being affectionate in thinking so, but Qiao Yan let out a surprised look, looked at him suspiciously, and pointed at the table A pile of takeout bags on the table.

"Not all of those, you can pick whatever you want... Oh yes, you can't eat spicy food now." Qiao Yan felt that she had found the reason why Mu Ting asked her specifically, so she continued to add thoughtfully, "Because I don't know How do you like it, I put the spicy and vinegar in small bags separately, you can add what you want.”

Shang Chen dragged Song Huan casually and sneaked by the corner to listen to the corner. Hearing this sentence, the two of them shook their shoulders and suppressed their smiles. They walked away quickly, their faces turned red, and walked around behind Qiao Yan. They began to laugh silently, and the two of them were holding their stomachs that hurt from laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten up. One of them made a mocking expression at Mu Ting, hummed a song and walked away with a supper.

Why don't you laugh to death? Mu Ting picked up the rest of the meal from the others with a blank face. Qiao Yan smiled when he saw his actions, and leaned over from his side to look: "I really don't know What's your taste, what do you usually eat? If there is another time, I will pay more attention."

Young Master Mu's heart immediately became balanced, and it's as simple as being happy: "I grew up here since I was a child, and my taste is salty and spicy. I don't like sweet and sour and sweet things very much. The taste is relatively strong, how about you?"

"My hometown is in the south, and I usually like to make soup. The taste is a bit milder, but I prefer sweets." Qiao Yan smiled, and seeing Mu Ting's face suddenly became a little subtle, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, in fact, I also like soup." Mu Ting opened the lunch box without changing his expression, stood up after thinking about it, grabbed another meal, stuffed it into Qiao Yan's hand, and touched her arm , "This group of people is too noisy, let's go over there to eat."

When the two squatted in front of the French windows with their lunch boxes in their hands, they felt a little funny when they saw their own reflection reflected in the glass.Qiao Yan took a bite of the meal and looked out of the window. The studio was on the upper floor of the office building, and the opposite building was lit with sporadic lights, and a few street lamps and neon lights leaked from the gaps between the shorter buildings in the distance.The scenery was not good, but Qiao Yan was a little lost in his eyes.Mu Ting squatted next to her, not interested in this kind of scenery. After looking at it for a while, he looked away and turned to look at her: "What happened to the audition today, do you want to talk about it? Let's talk about it together if you tell me." After the meal, it will be digested after tonight."

Qiao Yan smiled, thought for a while and asked, "What if you don't want to talk about it?"

"Then you can mix the rice and eat it by yourself, and I will watch." Mu Ting lowered his head and snorted as he ate the noodles, and said indifferently, "Actually, I suggest you try to say it out, it's like you ordered a bowl of beef noodles , but because you hate the coriander floating on it so much that you can't eat the whole bowl of noodles, why don't you pick out all the coriander and give it to me, maybe I like coriander?"

"You really like coriander?" Qiao Yan glanced at the noodles in his bowl, and the few coriander leaves floating in it were still calm.Mu Ting looked down for a few seconds, picked out the coriander leaves and threw them into the bag next to him without changing his expression.

"This example is not good, you forget it quickly, let's give another one."

Qiao Yan smiled.

"Actually, it's nothing... It's just that I don't know what to say. If I think about it carefully, I think it's my problem, but I can't change it for a while. When I was fighting alone, I was still in college. Because I was still studying, I felt confused. It doesn’t matter if you don’t look good, but now that you’ve really decided to take this path, you’ve realized that it wasn’t because I didn’t want to look bad before...but because I really didn’t have the ability to earn some glory.”

"Kai Xing is very kind to me. I have encountered several opportunities this year, the third female lead in "The Beauty", the heroine of "The End of the World", and today's audition for "The Chivalrous Girl"...Actually, all of these are It was a great opportunity, but I didn't take it."

"Sometimes I also think, everyone says I'm talented enough and I work hard, but I just can't be popular, maybe it's true... there is something that just doesn't suit me here."

"There must be something inappropriate, but it's not as complicated as you think." When Qiao Yan said, Mu Ting didn't interrupt much, and ate the noodles in silence. asked her.

"Would you like to come and see what I do every day?"

Qiao Yan's observation lasted for more than ten days.

It has been a long time since the end of the various awards ceremonies at the end of the year. The Western New Year's Day has passed, and the Lunar New Year is also inadvertently getting closer day by day.Recording the MV of Mu Ting Studio is Qiao Yan's last job before the new year. After the filming, she can enjoy the longest holiday of the year.

Of course, not every star is as leisurely as her. The busier the stars are during the holidays, they are busy with various competitions, evening parties, and variety shows. During the long vacation, it’s a good time to get familiar with your face and feel your presence.Mu Ting is now the hottest and most popular artist in the Chinese music scene, and now he is naturally too busy to wait for mitosis. He travels between TV stations and studios in various places every day. It is not easy.

It is also the first time for Qiao Yan to really understand what Mu Ting looks like at work. A few days ago, when she squatted in front of the glass window and had supper together, she was advised by Mu Ting that she really did a good job of observing Mu Ting every day. What preparations are being made, may not be very serious, but they have indeed been put into action, but the things they have received along the way are too bizarre and true, and it really feels like getting to know Mu Ting again.

She had known that Mu Ting had a good voice that God rewarded with food. She belonged to the kind of person who secretly eats spicy food and drinks beer and smokes when tired, and her voice is still high and low without effort. She also seems to have heard of it. Mu Ting is actually a talented person with an all-in-one machine, but she is not unfamiliar with the hype in the circle. Even a mediocre person can be packaged as a rare genius.So it was not until recently that she really felt Mu Ting's free and easy talent and seriousness in his work. Rather than saying that he is a singer, it seems more appropriate to say that he is a musician. The arrangement and musical instruments are very researched, so the whole process of participation will of course fit the song better, and the singing also has its own characteristics and tacit understanding.

However, Mu Ting's studio was established without Fengchen's participation at the beginning, but it still became a blockbuster, and there is indeed a real reason for it. The melody, she, a layman, would feel comfortable hearing it suddenly.At the beginning, they were full of dreams and dared to fight, but now they not only have dreams, but also have earned extravagant capital for their dreams. It is the time to be full of ambitions, and everyone can foresee their bright prospects and future.

Qiao Yan was finally not spared these days, and belatedly felt the stern willfulness and bad temper of the legendary Mu Ting.They got acquainted because of Mu Ting's admiration for her and taking the initiative to meet her. Mu Ting's attitude towards her has always been amiable and pleasant, and he feels that the degree of description is not enough.Mu Ting emphasized several times that he was very tolerant of Qiao Yan's excellence because he had no interests. Now that there is really an opportunity for cooperation with interests, Qiao Yan began to understand this sentence deeply.

Mu Ting's request style is very erratic.Qiao Yan has a wealth of experience in filming. It is said that making a MV is by no means difficult, but Mu Ting set a new record for the most NGs in a scene since she entered the industry. No matter how strict other directors are, a scene always has His own reasons, while Mu Ting asked her to retake a scene over and over again, there was only one reason for NG - the effect of the performance was not what he wanted.

But he himself couldn't tell how to express that feeling, so he had to ask Qiao Yan to shoot over and over again. After I cut it and watched it, I felt something was wrong and went to Qiao Yan to retake it. Often, after Qiao Yan finished shooting today’s content, he still had to make up for the shots that he finally passed a few days ago. It is impossible to say that he has no opinion at all.But when Qiao Yan accidentally learned that the MVs of their last two albums were much more relaxed and happy than the current filming, she still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. overall progress.

"Ah? How many times did you say before?" Mu Ting repeated blankly, carefully recalling the previous few shooting conditions, "Oh, the previous few times were when I felt that I barely passed the test and let them go. I didn't ask them. It’s going to be so deadly, when the time comes, there won’t be enough material for the MV to give you a few more shots... But I don’t plan to just go through with you like this.” Mu Ting spread his hands to Qiao Yan as he spoke, with an expression on his face. calm.

"Since I have a good idea, and you can actually complete it, why don't we do our best together? It hurts my heart to ask this kind of question with a serious face. You can't see your Has the treatment been much better than others?"

This old man didn't say anything difficult, but he also felt confident that people should be grateful to him. Qiao Yan felt angry and funny, but in the end he worked harder and continued to hone himself calmly in the midst of NG again and again. .

There is no way, a scholar dies for a confidant, and she is a person who knows how to be grateful. When she faces such a person who is so arrogant and arrogant, and appreciates her so straightforwardly, she really can't do anything. Dissatisfaction comes.

Speaking of which, she and Mu Ting haven't known each other for a long time. She met Mu Ting for the first time on the set in October last year. So far, it has only been more than four months, let alone December. , It’s hard to say that it was like old friends at first sight, but it was caught off guard and quickly became acquainted in a short period of time.If encounters between people are predestined - Qiao Yan and Mu Ting walked out of the office building of the studio together after successfully finishing the filming work.Mu Ting was going to the venue in the city center to participate in a New Year's song party, and she walked in the opposite direction. The two smiled and said goodbye to each other at the intersection. Qiao Yan thought to himself on the way home, if it was really a secret She has God's will, so she sincerely thanked the nobles she met this year, such as Luo Ming, such as Shu Li, such as Wei Ze, and such as Mu Ting.

She had never felt how lucky she was before, but now she wanted to sincerely thank God for being kind to her because of these people.

Thank you for putting this effort that I put in front of someone who will appreciate it.

When she finished her work, Qiao Xue had been on vacation for nearly a month.She went back to her home in the south when she was just on vacation, and now she just came back in time to stay in this cold and windy city with Qiao Yan to spend another new year.

She brought back many exquisite snacks from her hometown and packed two full suitcases, as if she wished to bring back all the specialties of her hometown to Qiao Yan.Qiao Yan picked out a part and sent it to Luo Ming and Shu Li. Luo Ming and Shu Li specially picked a day to come to Qiao Yan and Qiao Xue's house one day ago to help the two little girls tidy up the house and make it festive. .He is neither so intimate nor so abrupt with others. He only wraps two full boxes of snacks as a return gift after receiving the other party's things.
