coronation of stars

Chapter 23 The First Visit (1)
From the start of filming to the start of a drama, there is usually a long period of time in the middle. Most of the public is interested in 3 minutes of enthusiasm and fresh pictures, and after all, only a small number of people pay attention to it silently and affectionately.If you want to maintain a steadily rising discussion heat and attention for the drama, you must find ways to increase some exposure, just like the advertisements placed by advertisers, no matter the quality is good or bad, high-frequency appearances will always affect attention and popularity. There has been some improvement, and the publicity has always been a pay for an effect.

Therefore, directors who are still filming, as long as they have not seen through their fame and do not care about box office ratings, whether they like to lead teams into the mountains and forests, or they are used to diving headlong into the abyss of the set, they have to show their faces in front of the media's cameras from time to time.Reuters, class visits, live broadcasts, behind-the-scenes, there are many ways to appear on camera, and the choice is up to you.At present, it is very common for Mu Ting to bring the media to visit the class. Xu Zhen's new drama has a high degree of attention, and Yang Shuo is even more topical. Therefore, this visit is really lively, and there are many miscellaneous media. few.

When they entered the set, Qiao Yan and Yang Shuo had already started a new shoot.Qiao Yan was a little inspired by Shen Jiasheng. In the three and a half minutes of the camera, her expression did not change too much. Too many changes in facial expressions always tend to appear artificial and deliberately superficial, and she is not well controlled. , I was stuck in the past and always fell on this.

But now in this scene, she chooses to slightly avoid these frequent operations of facial micro-expressions, and puts more energy on the coordination of movements, especially at the end of this scene, she and Jiang Shao boldly looked at each other, the eyes Full of unyielding and proud and confident beauty, Jiang Shao finally got up and left first, his figure was not handsome, but he seemed a little embarrassed and embarrassed.She sat alone in the same place for a while, then turned her head away quickly, turned her eyes and lowered her eyebrows and smiled.

A trace of satisfaction and liking leaked out quietly, and soon it was almost overflowing.

"cut, pass."

Following Xu Zhen's succinct and forceful comment, she finally conquered the scene that had stuck with Qiao Yan for three days.Everyone on the set has seen Qiao Yan's attempts in the past few days. Now that she has finally passed, it is naturally worthy of congratulations.But the media had a different feeling. Most people who can work in this industry have vicious eyes. Qiao Yan's performance level also surprised them, and their impression of Xu Zhen's new play suddenly increased a lot.

They clapped politely or sincerely, and Mu Ting, who stood beside Xu Zhen, also clapped together, and even whistled first in a rather rogue manner.Qiao Yan looked back at Yang Shuo, and glanced in the direction where the whistle sounded.

Yang Shuo was still a little immersed in Qiao Yan's sight and didn't come back to his senses. The better the actor, the stronger his sense of self-substitution, and the deeper his involvement in the play.After Xu Zhen's voice sounded, he was still a little out of Jiang Shao's state, and followed Qiao Yan's movement to look back subconsciously.

However, it was this look that made him quickly wake up.

Qiao Yan's eyes at this time are completely different from Yu Jinshan in the play just now.That flamboyance, enthusiasm and boldness all disappeared at this moment. There was a faint helplessness and a smile in her eyes, but she didn't even bend the corners of her lips slightly, appearing restrained and calm, but with a slight gentleness.Yang Shuo's gaze also fell on Mu Ting, and he looked at Qiao Yan again with some suddenness, as if he had seen through the most hidden secret in her heart.

However, at this time, even the faint joy had disappeared. She put on her coat again, shivering a little from the cold, and was rubbing her hands and stomping her feet intently. Started: "Why are you looking at me all the time... Is there something wrong with me?"

"Shall I accompany you to say hello to Mu Ting?" Yang Shuo said something.

"Now?" Qiao Yan was stunned for a moment, looked back at Mu Ting and Xu Zhen, and asked uncertainly at the media and actors on the third floor and outside.

"Why are you in such a hurry... Are you his fan?"

... Isn't it you?Yang Shuo was questioned by Qiao Yan, looked at her a little confused, and was inevitably shaken by the conclusion just now.Mu Ting at the other end had already spotted the two of them, and waved towards them actively surrounded by the crowd.

"Come here for an interview——Qiao Yan! What about you! Come here quickly, we just finished working together for a few days, and you will pretend that you don't know me when we meet?"

Although the actual cooperation time between the two was before the Chinese New Year, the studio's announcements only started this week, so even though Qiao Yan was in Xu Zhen's crew recently, her name has always been linked with Mu Ting , It seems normal for two people to have a close relationship.The media had swarmed around Mu Ting and Xu Zhen, but after hearing Mu Ting's words, many people turned their attention to Qiao Yan and let out good-natured laughter.

It has been six days since Mu Ting's new album was officially launched, and the sales have been very popular, with rave reviews from all walks of life. On the third day of its release, it has already secured the first place in the weekly album sales chart, and it is breaking new records every day. The booming record industry seems to have sprung up suddenly.

The MV for the title song released on the day of the press conference was also widely welcomed by music critics and fans. Qiao Yan’s debut at the press conference was decent enough in front of people. changed.With the double addition of Mu Ting and Xu Zhen, the number of Qiao Yan's fans has more than doubled compared to a year ago, and he finally got rid of the embarrassment of being unknown in the public eye.

Now being teased so openly by Mu Ting, Qiao Yan seemed very generous, walking towards the media with Yang Shuo.Although she is the first heroine of this show, she is obviously far less popular than Yang Shuo, who is caught in the center of the topic. Therefore, after the media surrounded Yang Shuo for a long period of interviews, she finally pointed the microphone at her.

She stood there smiling and answering reporters' questions the whole time. Her answers were clear and her words were gentle and introverted. She was very clear about the breaking news in the entertainment industry. She did not reveal too much and would not make the media unable to write.

After the reporters gathered around Shen Jiasheng to watch a new round of auditions, Qiao Yan finally escaped from the media siege.Yang Shuo was the first to be interviewed, and he didn't know where he went, but Mu Ting didn't know whose chair occupied the rest area and was sitting comfortably. Seeing her looking over, he raised his eyebrows and patted the chair next to him. He motioned for her to come and sit.

She was indeed very tired, so she was not too polite, she moved over in small steps, looked around and saw no one was around, and felt that it would be too much to deliberately separate a chair, so she simply stayed beside Mu Ting Sitting down upright, he watched Shen Jiasheng's audition without looking sideways.Mu Ting next to him sat silently for a while. After all, he was not a law-abiding character. After a while, he took out a piece of his own album to cover half of his face, and half turned to Qiao Yan with a serious face.

"Am I handsome?" He made a stern expression exactly like the one on the cover, proudly showing Qiao Yan his album and face at a 180-degree angle.

Qiao Yan: "...Oh, handsome."

Mu Ting seemed to be quite satisfied with her cooperation, chuckled, and handed the album to Qiao Yan, "Here for you, participate in the production and send the album, listen to it for half an hour after filming every day, relax and refresh your mind."

"I didn't bring a computer, so I don't have any equipment to listen to..." Qiao Yan shrugged and complained softly, but took the album over.Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mu Ting reacted immediately, took out the phone and unlocked it, and began to click on it.

"I knew you might not be able to listen to it." He shook the phone at Qiao Yan, put it back in his pocket, and leaned back on the chair with satisfaction, "So I just packaged the mp3 version of the album and sent it to you. Sound loss, am I good?"

"..." Qiao Yan thought for a while, and answered honestly, "I'm so idle..."

"Okay, it's rare to come here, you also go around, I'm going to touch up my makeup, and the next scene is about to start." Qiao Yan stood up after a short rest, Mu Ting might feel that sitting was not interesting , After thinking about it, they also stood up and walked out together.

"Is there anything to see on the set? It's not like I haven't been here... Where is your dressing room, I'll go and see it too?"

"Don't follow me, I don't know how to explain it if I get caught in the photo, it's too wronged." Qiao Yan smiled helplessly and drove him away, her tone was not serious, and Mu Ting didn't take it seriously, and continued to follow not far or near later.Turning another corner is the dressing room. Qiao Yan turned around the partition, glanced forward casually, and then suddenly stopped in her tracks, her face turning white in an instant.

The filming location of this crew is relatively remote, all the scenes are temporary structures, and the condition of the dressing room is also very simple, it is just a temporary shed with an irregular shape to keep out the wind and cold, and it is built on the edge of the filming site by taking advantage of the terrain, only one block away from the filming site The planks are simply spaced.

Right now, there is no one else in the dressing room for some reason, and two figures in a hidden corner are embracing each other and kissing.

If it was an ordinary affair during filming, she would not avoid being so concerned about it, just as if she accidentally broke through a little secret, like when she accidentally discovered Qin Fei and Gu Zhaoming's underground love; if two people who were not familiar with her , she could have pulled away and left immediately, as if she hadn't found out, so she wouldn't be embarrassed at all.

But now there are layers of media outside, and she is so aware that one of the protagonists inside has ulterior motives.At this moment, she stood where she was, her heart was full of disbelief, but she couldn't move her footsteps. She felt dazed and panicked for a while, her mind was in chaos, and she couldn't figure it out for a short time.

She never expected that on such a day, the secret relationship between Yang Shuo and Liu Jingyi would be broken on the set.

"What's the matter?" Mu Ting, who was walking behind her, immediately sensed the abnormality, and hurried up a few steps to catch up. He passed Qiao Yan and was about to look forward, but Qiao Yan immediately grabbed his arm with his backhand.He turned around to look at her in astonishment, only to see Qiao Yan put his index finger to his lips and made a quiet gesture to him.

"Do not talk……"

Her face was still pale, and there was no time to hide the panic and bewilderment in her eyes. Mu Ting even caught a trace of sadness from it, and felt depressed immediately. Looking at Qiao Yan, she didn't know what expression to make.The quiet atmosphere didn't last long, it seemed that it was only a blink of an eye, and Shen Jiasheng's charming voice with a smile came from the other side of the partition, from far to near, it soon became clear.

"The reporters and friends on the set all know that there is really nothing to see... I see that everyone has worked so hard for filming and interviewing for so long, why don't you go to the dressing room to take a break and get a touch of makeup before continuing?"

Qiao Yan and Mu Ting looked at each other slowly.

Then Qiao Yan suddenly felt that she was pushed to the innermost part of the partition, stuck in the tiny position between the partition and the wall of the dressing room, Mu Ting kicked the partition violently, and forced the plastic partition towards the dressing room After kicking it for a few minutes, it happened to cover Qiao Yan tightly.

At the last moment when the vision was blocked by the partition, Mu Ting's voice also faded into the air.

He said, "Qiao Yan, don't make a sound, don't come out."

There was such a big commotion outside, no matter how deeply the couple kissed inside, they couldn't be completely unaware.

Liu Jingyi was startled by the sound, struggling to back away, but Yang Shuo stroked her back reassuringly from top to bottom, and then circled her tightly.Mu Ting stood at the door and watched coldly, and sneered very lightly when he saw this.The reporters and photographers behind him, under the leadership of Shen Jiasheng, crossed the partition and came here. Obviously, they didn't expect that the first person they saw was Mu Ting who was blocking the door like a door god, and they were stunned for a moment.

"Mu Ting? Why are you here?" After being stunned, Shen Jiasheng looked at Mu Ting with great interest. As the first sister of Ling Yu, her status is real. When she joined the group, she said that she had a very personal relationship with Mu Ting. Although Du is purely empty talk to deceive Qiao Yan, he does have friendship with Mu Ting at ordinary times, at least he can talk.

Now that she took the initiative to talk with such obvious interest, it is obvious that she is not ignorant of the things inside.Mu Ting turned around to face the media people with microphones and cameras, and Shen Jiasheng who brought them here. The corners of his lips were curved like a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes. Cold and meaningless indifference.

"Look at the scenery, isn't there nothing to visit on the set, so I'll come here to have a look."

"It turned out that there was nothing to see. It was a waste of time. It's better to go back here."

When he is not smiling, he is always sharp and shocking. He seems to be very different from the usual image of a warm man who cares about his fans. It has been a long time since he has seen this kind of Mu Ting media, but I am afraid he will never forget it. Before and after, this person took care of everything in a thunderous manner that no one expected. Nearly three years later, there are still several media companies that were deeply affected by the storm at that time, and they have not been able to stand up.

The media is actually unwilling to provoke such a lunatic who has a background, means and loves to hold grudges too much.Mu Ting has already expressed his disapproval towards them in both words and deeds. Although I don't know why the people who were talking and laughing when we came together this morning suddenly changed their sex, but now anyone who is acquainted should go back honestly.

But the reporters originally didn't think there would be any news in the dressing room, and they accepted Shen Jiasheng's suggestion just to fix their makeup.Being stopped by Mu Ting now, he actually aroused a lot of curiosity that shouldn't be there.People in the news media industry always have strong curiosity, thirst for knowledge and sensitivity to hot information. Now many people have already sensed that something is wrong, and they have secretly muttered in their hearts.

What's in the powder room?Why did Mu Ting stop people from entering?

Shen Jiasheng watched Mu Ting's movements with a smile all the time. Seeing that the two sides were in a stalemate, Mu Ting stood there without moving, and the reporters were all hesitant, for fear of accidentally missing any big news, so they immediately blinked at Mu Ting Blinking, then smiling.

"Speaking of which, you are here. I think you are really surprised. I didn't see Yang Shuo and Qiao Yan on the set. I thought they came to touch up their makeup."

Yang Shuo?Qiao Yan?
Yang Shuo and Qiao Yan? !

The reporters immediately became excited. Although there are so many rumors about Yang Shuo that there are so many scandals, and there are not a few male and female protagonists who need to stir up scandals for publicity, but what is the situation with Yang Shuo now? He has been in a hidden marriage for many years. Already had a daughter, and now her ex-rumored girlfriend jumped out and identified her as the father of the unborn child!

Is such a man who was almost detained to death under the hat of flirtatiousness going to spread a new scandal now?The rookie heroine of this drama seems to have good acting skills, but she got mixed up with someone like Yang Shuo right after her debut?
Some people's eyes suddenly became a little bit more contempt, and Qiao Yan was immediately labeled as self-willing and depraved in their hearts.Rumors are so terrible, even if everyone knows that hearing is believing, seeing is believing, even if they haven't seen the truth of this matter, just one fabricated rumor is enough to destroy a person's long-term accumulated wealth. If you have a good reputation, spread rumors, and justify yourself, even if you always maintain the courage to justify, the false will become true if the number of times is too high, and word of mouth spreads until everyone becomes golden.

Mu Ting himself has suffered such a loss, so he is well aware of this kind of thing.I don't know how many waves and hidden dangers Shen Jiasheng's frivolous guess will cause, but there is nothing wrong with the literal meaning of her words. If she is serious about dispelling the rumors, she will definitely only get the other party an innocent sentence. Just guessing.Instead of being angry, Mu Ting smiled, raised his eyebrows without blinking or avoiding, and asked with a half-smile.

"It's really who thinks what. I can't think of them coming together to touch up makeup. There are too many reasons for not being on the set. I have diarrhea and go to the toilet, I go out to smoke a cigarette when I am bored, and change costumes to prepare for the next scene. Audition, why do you have to run together to touch up makeup, and the two of you paint each other? If your crew is so poor that you can’t afford a makeup artist, tell me quickly? Not only can I write theme songs, but I can also write my own Let’s bring a makeup artist into the group, and I’ll go and have a good chat with you Director Xu later.”
