"..."
Jing Luo responded indiscriminately, opened WeChat, and replied to Qiu Lin.
Jing Luo: "He said he has no such idea for the time being."
Qiu Lin: "Okay, then you should work hard on filming, it should be finished soon, right? When it's finished, I'll treat you to a meal."
After Jing Luo thanked him, he locked the screen of the phone.
After drying his hair, Song Yi sat on the bed and read a book.
In the past, Jing Luo would watch variety shows for a while before going to bed. Today, because he was afraid of disturbing the people around him, he simply stopped touching the TV and picked up a book to flip through it. When he opened it, he found that it was "Light and Shadow" by Mu Chenxi.
This book is still readable. He has read it a little before. It has twists and turns and climaxes. It is not bad as an inspirational story.
Looking at it, he could see something was wrong.
It said that when Mu Chenxi was devastated and had the idea of quitting the circle, suddenly two resources came to him at the same time for him to shoot.
They are not small resources. One is the wise male second in more than 60 episodes of TV dramas, and the role runs from beginning to end; the other is a crime-solving web drama, which is directly the male lead. The start dates of the two are far apart, and he took both of them. .After the broadcast of these two films, word of mouth exploded, and he succeeded in becoming popular again.
In this circle, the weak have always been prey to the strong, and there is never a shortage of people with acting skills. At that time, Mu Chenxi's popularity had already reached the level of Waterloo, so how could he receive two good resources all at once?
Thinking of the black mist on Mu Chenxi's body, Jing Luo couldn't help asking: "Tell me, besides borrowing life, what else can Gu borrow, can you borrow luck?"
Song Yi turned his head, saw the book in his hand, and frowned slightly: "Yes."
"I think the black mist on Mu Chenxi's body is not necessarily due to borrowing his life." Jing Luo stretched out the page in front of him, "Look, he became popular again because he suddenly received two good resources. Pie in the sky... Tell me, could it be because of borrowing luck?"
The displeasure in Song Yi's eyes disappeared in an instant, and his tone was gentle: "It's possible."
Jing Luo: "What will happen to the borrowed person?"
"I don't know," Song Yi closed the book, obviously not wanting to talk, "Sleep?"
Jing Luo looked at the time, it was nine o'clock.
Is it the work and rest of veteran cadres?
He put the book on the bedside cabinet: "...Go to sleep."
At first he thought it would be crowded, so he said to make a bed on the floor, but he really didn't feel any difference from before when he slept.
Turn around and have a look.
The person next to him turned sideways, facing him, occupying the same space as the space he had gestured before, and because of his bent waist, he looked a little funny.
Jing Luo slept a little outside: "...you sleep in, don't fall."
Song Yi opened his eyes, which seemed to be coated with a layer of light in the dark night: "No, it's enough to sleep."
Jing Luo: "Come in."
Song Yi raised the corners of his mouth and obediently moved it in.
The arms of the two were pressed together, and there was a strange coolness.
Jing Luo closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep. The eyelashes of the people around him trembled, and they slowly opened their eyes again.
**
The next day, when Jing Luo woke up, the people around him were still sleeping.
He got up lightly, went outside to make two casual breakfasts, and then calculated the time difference. After confirming that it was not a rest time abroad, he dug out the contact information left by the house owner's grandmother before, and called the other party.
It rang for a while before it was picked up.
"Which one?"
It was a man's voice. Jing Luo was stunned for a moment, checked the number again, and said after confirming that it was correct, "Hi, I'm looking for Grandma Qin."
The man asked, "Who are you?"
"I am her lodger."
"Oh, do you have anything to do with her," the man said, "She just finished the operation and is still awake."
After Jing Luo politely asked about the old lady's physical condition, she continued, "Then please wait for her to wake up and ask her to contact me."
"It's inconvenient for her to talk on the phone. Why don't you just say something? Is it because you don't want to rent the house?"
"No," Jing Luo thought for a while, and said, "I heard from the neighbors that grandma had hired a nanny before. That's right. I'm usually busy with work, so I also want to hire a nanny."
There was silence on the other side for a while.
"I did arrange one for her before, but I suggest you go to another housekeeping company," he said, "There seems to be something wrong with that nanny."
Jing Luo: "What's the problem?"
Because he heard from his mother that the tenant was a starlet, the man did not hide much: "My mother suddenly said that her back was uncomfortable yesterday. I took her to the hospital for an examination and found a little injury on her body. It was not serious, but it was quite a lot. I suspect... but there is no camera installed at home, I plan to wait for my mother to wake up, and then ask for clarification."
In the end, Jing Luo managed to get the nanny's contact information.
The grandma's son is obviously a bit prepared, not only has a phone number, but even his home address.The other party seemed to have forwarded a certain message directly to him.
Song Yi came out and asked him, "Why don't you have breakfast?"
Jing Luo saved the information on the phone, and said casually: "Together."
Song Yi had a delicious breakfast.
Before going out, Jing Luozai carefully checked the doors of the two rooms.
Because they were recognized by fans on the way, the two delayed for a while before arriving at the set.
But today's first scene was still his play. Although the director didn't say anything, Jing Luo was a little embarrassed. He put on makeup and changed clothes much faster than usual. After he came out, the assistant director smiled and said, "Usually you are the first to come. , what happened today?"
Jing Luo said: "I was recognized by someone on the way, so I was delayed."
"It's okay, it's just a few minutes late, you're about to take off, why doesn't the company provide you with a nanny car?" the assistant director joked, "It's really inhumane."
Jing Luo: "It's just that this period of time is relatively... It will be fine in a few days, so how dare you waste company resources."
Jing Luo has always said in terms of modesty, after saying this, the topic is considered to be over.
The second scene is against Mu Chenxi.
Mu Chenxi is a scheming boy in the play. This is a scene where he coaxes the mentally retarded prince to go out to eat, and sets up a trick to let the mentally retarded prince hear others insulting him, causing the mentally retarded prince to lose his temper and stab him.
The two sat on one side, with a wooden table full of food in the middle.
With a kind smile on Mu Chenxi's face, he opened his mouth to speak his lines.
A foul smell entered Jing Luo's nostrils unexpectedly.
He could bear it before, but this time he couldn't. The smell was so strong that he didn't know how to describe it. He covered his mouth and couldn't help but let out a dry retch.
Mu Chenxi: "..."
Jing Luo got up in a hurry: "I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable, I'm really sorry, I'll..."
After speaking, he ran out without looking back.
Everyone's expressions were dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, he's been feeling unwell for the past two days. I'll go and see." Song Yi got up, left behind these words, and left behind Jing Luo.
As soon as he left the studio gate, he found someone. He was leaning against the wall, still retching uncontrollably.
Song Yi put his hand on his back: "Smell it again?"
Jing Luo couldn't help nodding, tears from retching soaked around the eye sockets, and the fundus of the eyes were red, "...It smells so bad, it's much, much heavier than what I've smelled before."
"Can you smell where it's coming from?"
Jing Luo shook his head: "I can't smell it, but it should be on the set."
Song Yi helped him calm down: "Then stop shooting, go back."
Jing Luo answered quickly: "No, the filming has to be finished."
He was already very embarrassed for being late today, how could he leave early.
Song Yi: "Then you are here, I will go in and look for it."
Before he could turn around and leave, he was pulled back by the people behind him.
"How did you find it?" Jing Luo covered his nose.
Song Yi said: "Turn one by one."
"..." Jing Luo sighed, "Go inside and take out a pack of toilet paper."
Ten minutes later, Jing Luo tightly covered his nose with a whole pack of toilet paper and entered the set.
Seeing his posture, the director asked, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
"A little bit," Jing Luoweng said softly, "Guide, can I take a break?"
"Okay, you rest." After the sudden death incident, the director was very tolerant in this regard, and waved his hand, "Go to the dressing room and lie down for a while. If it doesn't work, go back first. It's okay to reschedule the scene to tomorrow."
There are a total of eight rooms on the set including the dressing room.
The closer you get to the corridor, the stronger the smell, Jing Luo frowned, resisting the discomfort and walking in.
Song Yi stopped in his tracks: "The hallway smells the most?"
Jing Luo didn't dare to open his mouth, so he could only nod his head.
Song Yi said: "You go out, I will solve it."
Jing Luo shook his head, lifted his legs and continued to walk forward.
He wanted to see what could emit such a deadly smell.
All the way to the end of the corridor.
Song Yi walked to the door of the last dressing room and asked, "This one?"
"……no."
Jing Luo looked at the small utility room on the wall.
This grocery room has not been opened since he joined the crew. According to the staff, there are cleaning tools left over from the previous crew.
Now the door was ajar, revealing a small gap.
Song Yi stepped forward and opened the door.
The first entry is the back view of a woman.
The utility room was very small, and she could only squat in it by curling up. When she heard the sound, she turned her head without a trace of panic on her face.
It was Mu Chenxi's assistant, Lin Qianqian.
In front of her was a brazier with a plank on it, and a small wooden figure lying on the plank. A string was attached to the small figure, and the other end of the line was tied to the wooden figure in her hand.
Before Jing Luo could see the words written on the villain, the brazier collapsed, and the wooden villain lost its support and fell to the ground.
Song Yi strode forward and grabbed Lin Qianqian by the collar.
With a gloomy expression, he said word by word: "Are you borrowing your life or your luck?"
