With Xing Shen Yuan Jiang's role over, it's Ziyu Liu's turn to join the group.

She plays the woman who uses her feelings to cheat Xing Shen out of money, and her role is small, less than a week full of calculations.

I thought Ziyu Liu's acting skills should be average because she has been in the black and red route, but a few scenes with her rivals were unexpectedly good. Perhaps to give Xingchen Qi face, she did not play a big role in the crew, can tolerate as much as possible, only four days to kill early.

As a token of appreciation, Xingchen Qi invited her to dinner. At the table, Ziyu Liu sighed: "We had six guests in that episode of Poor Travel, and you and Tao Tao were the least popular. Now you are almost famous, but Tao Tao is in jail.

"So every choice is important," Xingchen Qi said, raising her glass, "and one wrong step can make a big difference."

After Ziyu Liu left, the cast of "You and Me" moved to the countryside to shoot Xing Shen's teenage scenes.

The main scene of the teenage years is the Acrobatic troupe. Ran An rented a small local auditorium and simply decorated it with old things bought from old people, which really has a very 70s feel.

On the first day of shooting, Xingchen Qi walked onto the set and heard Ye Bai asking, "Have you checked the swing arm? , "Did you do the test on the weave machine?" , "Is the silk safe enough ...... Why do I feel not tough enough?"

"Bai Xiao, I had guessed that you would ask this question, specially went out to order the silk fabric. High-tech blend, hanging a small car are not broken." Dao Qian want to cry.

Ye Bai will be skeptical to look at him, and their own hands tug the silk cloth, feel really good, then finally stopped for a while.

When Yuan Jiang's scene was finished, he didn't leave, but decided to stay with Xingchen Qi.

Having studied acrobatics for more than 10 years, Xingchen Qi is a piece of cake for any kind of movement. He stretched a little, did not even use the swing arm, with hands and feet hooked silk, three or two times will climb to the mid-air with their bare hands.

Ye Bai : "......"

It seems that the test rocker and weave is not necessary.

This is a shot of teenager Xing Shen performing hanging silk, but also one of the most beautiful scenes in the whole movie. In order to meet the role, Xingchen Qi hair grow longer, black hair against the skin is unusually crystal clear. With the white silk robe, wide-legged pants, do not know, but really think that the sky flew down a fairy.

The equipment team was ready, the set manager played the board, Ye Bai stood behind Dao Qian and watched the monitor together. On the screen, Xingchen Qi's left hand and foot hooked the silk cloth, and the long white silk swung lightly from side to side with a slight force at the waist.

The greater the swinging amplitude, the deeper the smile at the corners of his mouth, let the clothes flip with the wind, side eye glance at the camera.

The face is so plain and clean, and the eyes are so ignorant and simple that they don't understand the world. The screenwriter's eyes suddenly reddened, "I have seen Shen Xing in my dreams countless times, and in my dreams he was like this."

Dao Qian was silent for a moment, "So was Xing Shen in my dream."

Thanks to Xingchen Qi, the Xing Shen in their dreams have had faces ever since.

.

This was one of Xing Shen's happiest times. After each day's performance, he gave a large portion of the money rewarded by the host family to the director and kept a small portion for himself, hitching a ride to the market in the neighborhood to buy rouge for his mother and preserves for his sister.

If there is more money, he will also bring a few pieces of snacks for his brothers and teachers. Although I don't know why people don't seem to like it too much, they clearly used to like it.

One night, he accidentally left something in the practice room. When he went back to get it, he heard the conversation among his brothers and instantly figured out the reason why everyone was alienating him.

He pushed open the door and yelled, "I didn't do it!" Then he grabbed the door and ran down the alley frame to the beach, looking at the sea and crying the whole night.

This crying scene is the highlight, because from this day onwards, Xing Shen's soul is no longer pure.

In order to deal with this, Xingchen Qi brewed for a whole hour. The performance came out very well, with a good sense of layers of little by little collapse, and a lot of backbone from the blandness.

That night, Ye Bai kept his voice down all night to put him to sleep before dawn.

In addition to Xingchen Qi, Dao Qian and the screenwriter also had a hard time. In some ways, they understand Xing Shen's despair and helplessness better than Xingchen Qi does.

There is a good side to this understanding - Dao Qian knows too well which camera language to use to express Xing Shen.

There is also a bad side to that time, the entire crew was immersed in a rather depressing atmosphere.

In September, Xingchen Qi and Ye Bai were having dinner when they received a phone call from Ran An.

Ran An's tone rose and he couldn't hide his joy: "Star, after Qi's adjustment, "You and I" can be scheduled for the New Year's Day release!

"Really?" Xingchen Qi confirmed with Ran An. Xingchen Qi confirmed with Ran An and quickly relayed it to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai asked, "What about the broadcaster, any news."

"Qi is actively communicating," Ran An said, "listening to the meaning of the other side, "you and I" good intention, help the spread of traditional culture, and did not cross the line of expression is more subtle, then a little cut, the film sent up, expedite the review of the film, should be able to quickly pass the review. "

That's the best, Xingchen Qi and Ye Bai looked at each other and kissed happily.

Ran An scratched her scalp in annoyance but didn't say anything. Over time, she has been able to accept the dog food with openness.

Then Ran An said numbly, "One more thing, the Hwagyo Awards are going to start, we should be able to catch up with the progress.

The Hwagyo Awards are one of the two most prestigious awards for Chinese language films, and are commonly referred to as the "Best Actor" and "Best Actress" awards.

Xingchen Qi has no idea about Hwagyo, but Dao Qian has been depressed for a long time, so if she could go to the festival and get one or two nominations, it would be a great help to increase her fame.

He asked, "Has the date of the award ceremony been set yet?"

"It's tentatively scheduled for between late January and early February."

The time is good, he and Ye Bai should not leave, Xingchen Qi thought about it: "Yes, sign up, when the film is cut out the first time to send over."

"OK." Ran An hangs up the phone.

The schedule was set and the last bit of concern dissipated when we learned that the film would probably pass the review after the cut, and the creators of the "You and I" crew devoted themselves to the closing work.

The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.

People who relapse tend to smoke harder, and ordinary doses are no longer enough for them. In the evening, Xing Shen was lying on the sofa watching TV when Yuan Jiang came back from outside, sneaking around and locking the door tight.

"What's the point of locking the door," Xing Shen shakes his fan discontentedly, "it's hot."

"I got the good stuff," Yuan Jiang pulled out a small packet of powder from his pocket, "it's said to be from abroad and highly concentrated."

Xing Shen raised his eyebrows, "How high can it be?"

"Just try it and see."

Saying that they would try it, the duo pulled the curtains closed and burrowed into the bedroom with the stuff. The moment they inhaled, the two immediately went mad, as if their souls had flown into some other world, experiencing an unspeakable and warring journey.

They sing and dance like in a disco, singing and dancing tired of doing love. When you feel that doing love has not been enough to extend the desired pleasure, they took out the packet of small things to continue to suck ......

The most excited time, Xing Shen looked at the moon: " Yuan Jiang, you know, I will perform flying fairy."

"Haha, flying immortal? We are not flying!"

Xing Shen wanted to say different, opened his mouth, did not say. He closed his eyes and stretched out his hand, as if he had grabbed the most commonly used piece of silk.

The third day afternoon, Xing Shen could not hold on to sleep, Yuan Jiang lying on top of him once again to vent, and only then also quiet.

The next day, Xing Shen was awakened by the sound of clappers downstairs and nudged Yuan Jiang.

Pushed down, but a cold corpse.

He simply fainted from fear.

He woke up in the police station, where a neighbor had reported the case. He was sent to rehab and found to have poured drugs to a friend once with Yuan Jiang, and was charged with drug trafficking.

The amount was relatively small and the sentence was thirteen years. During his sentence, he was eligible for a sentence reduction to ten years because of his acrobatics and active participation in prison sports and cultural activities.

On the day of his release from prison, Xing Shen walked around the city with his only remaining baggage.

He found that the disco was gone, his and Yuan Jiang's silo was gone, and the place was too strange to accommodate him.

He returned home with the package in his arms.

The last scene in "You and Me" is Xing Shen's return to his hometown to revisit the Acrobatic troupe. The scene was filmed after the teenage scenes because the locations were in the countryside.

It was the end of September and the temperature difference was very great. Xingchen Qi painted the middle-aged Xing Shen makeup, Dao Qian solemnly asked, "Ready?"

"Ready to go."

"Come on, Xing Shen."

Xingchen Qi nodded and picked up the worn out bag.

"You and Me" final scene, one shot at a time Action!"

Xing Shen has imagined many times what it will be like when he returns to Acrobatic troupe. Maybe the headmaster is already old, and the brothers' bodies are too crisp to stack; maybe there is a new group of people inside and out, and the ones practicing in the backyard are still teenage boys.

But he never thought the place would be empty.

Pushing open the moss-covered door, he called out as he walked inside: "Eldest Brother? Little pillar? Little eight? Master?"

Unfortunately, no one answered, and he was answered by an echo, and choking dust.

He finally realized that those people are no longer there, closed his mouth and looked around from room to room. The old days or practice or playful scenes are still vivid in my mind, which I know that when I look back again, it is the remnants of things are not the same.

This is very similar to his life. Looking back on his life, he had been happy, lost, happy and desperate. He had men, women, and love, but in the end, all that was left was this bag made of coarse cloth when his parents sent him to Acrobatic troupe.

The camera finally settled on the stage, Xing Shen grabbed the silk cloth, climbed to the top with familiar movements, and then let go with a smile.

Life comes naked and goes naked.

He is you and me, but hopefully, he is neither you nor me.

.

The episode ended here, but all eyes in the room were focused on Xingchen Qi's body, no one shouted "card", no one looked back at the video. It was not until a female colleague's low sobbing sounded that Dao Qian took a deep breath, "Xiao Qi, it's over, come down."

In fact, it's not that Xingchen Qi didn't want to come down, but he was still immersed in Xing Shen's emotions and was so exhausted that he didn't have the strength to do so, and finally Ye Bai carried him down.

"Okay baby," Ye Bai rubbed his strangled palm, "you're great, you made it, don't feel bad, huh?"

Xingchen Qi made a low "hmm" sound, "It's okay, I'll take it easy for a while, don't worry."

Ye Bai how can not worry, regardless of the many people around, the person into the arms, hand patting his back one by one.

This seems to have worked wonders, and it didn't take long for Xingchen Qi's mood to recover. Dao Qian was forced to watch the ten-minute love show next to him and couldn't help but clear his throat: "Ahem, that, I'll bother you guys."

"You say." Xingchen Qi blushed and burst out of Ye Bai's arms.

"Xiao Qi, you B scene scene finished, now you can go back to rest, I stay to shoot a few empty shots. Tomorrow morning we go back to the A scene to make up a few mirrors, the initial estimate of two days to make up, and then start production, we have a tight schedule, the best synchronization of publicity and development."

"I know," Xingchen Qi nodded, "I am also prepared to do so, the publicity piece do not worry about you, I find a team to do, you put your energy into the post."

Dao Qian looked at Xingchen Qi for a moment, but did not say anything.

Seeing that he did not say anything, Xingchen Qi thought he was not satisfied with the arrangement and was about to ask--

Dao Qian took a deep breath and suddenly bowed deeply!

"...... What are you doing?" Xingchen Qi panicked, "Get up!"

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank you."

Xingchen Qi cried and laughed: "You've already thanked us when we first set up the project, don't be a stranger to me, get up."

"That time it was to thank you for casting, this time it's ......" Dao Qian tail tremble, "This time is to thank you, gave Xing Shen soul."

Xingchen Qi thinks he can't reach the height he said, so he finally persuaded him up with good words. As a result, before he left the set, the scriptwriter came to hug him again and cried. A good closing battle has turned into a crying contest.

If Ye Bai hadn't kept the writers at bay, Xingchen Qi would have been drowning in tears.

After returning to the hotel, Xingchen Qi took a relaxing bath. When he came out after the shower, he found Ye Bai scribbling with his notebook again.

Recently he has always been like this, Xingchen Qi is not in the habit of prying into people's privacy, has not asked.

Smelling the smell of shower gel, Ye Bai lifted her head and opened her arms, "Come here, let me hug you."

Xingchen Qi sat in his arms as instructed.

Ye Bai sniffed the nape of his neck: "You're using my body wash?"

Xingchen Qi : "......"

I can't believe I was caught in my first crime!

"Do you like the taste, take it if you like."

Xingchen Qi wrapped his arms around his partner's waist, he didn't just like the smell of shower gel, he liked everything related to Ye Bai.

"Right," Xingchen Qi tightened his arm, "I'm going to give Nuoya Chen the publicity side, but the main publicity is definitely still us, how do we arrange?"

"Whatever you want," Ye Bai said, "I've put off all my work and will cooperate with you fully."

If we count from the beginning of the shooting, plus the roadshow after the release, Ye Bai has almost half a year free to spend with him, Xingchen Qi's heart is hot, raise his head to give Ye Bai a kiss.

Ye Bai is not someone who can just be taken advantage of? Immediately kissed back.

The two of you kissed me, I nibbled on you for a while, Xingchen Qi thought a move: "Night, while we are free, let's camp a business."

"Okay, how to open for business."

"Live line, then do not broadcast my live room to be taken back."

Ye Bai naturally agreed and urged her young boyfriend to change into a plain, unimpressive dress.

Set up the stool, set up the phone, send live tips in one go. Click into the live room, good guys, the night sky and starlight to a race a fast.

After all, this is the first time the two of them are officially live together, Xingchen Qi is a little bit restrained, and said hello in a proper way. Ye Bai looked at her boyfriend as if he didn't know what to say and took the lead in answering fan questions:

"Yes, we're both at the hotel."

"How long has it been since I've broadcasted live on ....... The last time was the fourth day of the year, right? It's been seven or eight months since now."

"Weibo ah, Weibo I am too lazy to send. And we are busy shooting recently, no time to play with the phone."

"I wonder if there is a kiss scene," Ye Bai raised her eyebrows, "If not, I can ask the director to add it."

Hearing this, Xingchen Qi was annoyed and glared at Ye Bai. And clearly realized that he must not be allowed to continue his nonsense.

The following fans are still asking:

How does it feel to work together for the first time in a movie?

Xingchen Qi grabbed the answer, "Good match."

Ye Bai : "Good, he always compliments me on my acting skills."

What about your free time during filming, what did you do?

Xingchen Qi : "The shooting cycle of "You and Me" is short and there is almost no free time."

Ye Bai : "Just look at the script together, pair of scenes or something. In the evening, I open two pesticides, I use a small number to bring him."

Xingchen Qi : "......."

He didn't play games before, but recently he spent time with Ye Bai and found that Ye Bai sometimes played, so he downloaded a game to experience it, and Ye Bai found out.

[Hahahahahahaha! How do you get along on the set, do you avoid suspicion on purpose?

Xingchen Qi : "Mainly work-oriented."

Ye Bai: "No need to avoid suspicion, there is no need. What to do what to do, over time they all get used to it."

Xingchen Qi was speechless for a moment, took a deep breath and rubbed his toes against Ye Bai's leg under the table.

Receiving the signal from her lover to beg for mercy, Ye Bai raises her eyebrows and finally stops.

Of course fans are unaware of their little antics, and the comments section is still flying.

How soon will "You and I" be released?

[After this movie, will you have other collaborations?

Xingchen Qi replied: "You and I" may be released around New Year's Day, and so on the news first time to tell you. As for the cooperation well ......"

He didn't know how to say it.

The future is all unknown.

"There is cooperation."

At that moment, Ye Bai suddenly spoke up, "We have a song to record soon."

....... Song?

Xingchen Qi turned to Ye Bai, his eyes confused.

Ye Bai laughed at her little boyfriend's cute look and scratched his jaw, "I wrote a song for 'You and Me', would you like to sing it with me?"

Xingchen Qi chest bulge, nothing can hear, the only thing left in your ears is the sound of your own heart "pounding" beating.

The idol that I have been following for eight years invited him to sing with me.

What a privilege to be able to live the dream.
