Chapter 293 291. Blame Me For Shooting?
In the evening, the Tongzilou was extremely noisy, and people returning home from get off work chatted and greeted each other in the corridor.

A strong aroma wafts from the communal kitchen at the end of the corridor of Tongzilou, and the dishes of each family are mixed together to form a unique pyrotechnic atmosphere.

The naughty child went to wash his hands and eat at the urging of his parents, and the husband who just got off work carried fruit to share with his neighbors.

Everything here is so happy and healthy. Although they are not rich, they have their own small world in this city.

Chen Li'an looked at the ticket in his hand, his fingers were clenched tightly, and the backpack was lying crookedly by his feet.

Bang. The guitar leaning against the wall suddenly fell and landed on Chen Li'an's hand, blocking the train ticket.

Chen Li'an looked at the guitar silently, thinking of the girl who left before she finished listening to her singing, suddenly threw the ticket in her hand and threw it on the ground, carried the guitar on her back, walked through the lively corridor full of fireworks, and stepped into the night.

On the street in front of the bar, young people strolled in twos and threes, chatting about their own anecdotes, laughing happily, walking briskly and full of vitality.

Chen Li'an pulled up the zipper of his jacket, looked at the bar that had just opened, walked in and took a look, and looked around but didn't find the figure from yesterday.

So he backed out silently, walked to yesterday's position, leaned against the entrance of the dark alley, and waited silently.

The neon signboard of the bar flickered a few times and suddenly went out, the light and shadow on Chen Li'an's face also disappeared, the whole face was hidden in the darkness, looking hopefully at the colorful world outside.

Chen Li'an fumbled in his pocket with his fingers for a long time, took out the crumpled cigarette case, took out a crooked cigarette that was still pressed, and put it to his mouth.

A hissing yellow flame suddenly appeared and lit the cigarette butt, also illuminating Chen Li'an's face. A girl in a red dress suddenly appeared, and quickly crossed the alley, her footsteps were a bit hurried and boring. The corners of the red dress swirled and disappeared into the In front of Chen Li'an.

The figure who left in a hurry didn't seem to see the down-and-out man hiding at the entrance of the alley.

Chen Li'an looked at the cigarette in his hand and slowly smoked it. He waited until the band's singing in the bar stopped before walking into the bar with a guitar on his back.

On the stage, the members of Team Yu were packing up their things and preparing to leave. Only Xu Qing was still standing there looking at the door of the bar. When Chen Li'an opened the door and came in, a smile appeared on her face and she waved to Chen Li'an.Xu Qing turned her head and asked the team members: "My friend is here, can you do me a favor? Treat you to supper tonight."

The drummer of the band couldn't help teasing: "Do you like him, but he sings so-so."

"Help me." Xu Qing asked with clasped hands.

At this time, Chen Li'an had already walked down the stage, before he could open his mouth, Xu Qing said to him: "Come on, I'm waiting for you."

The rest of the band looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders when they saw this scene, and they all re-prepared helplessly.

Chen Li'an went up and said thank you, then took off his guitar and tuned it.

"Brother, what are you singing tonight?" the drummer asked from behind.

Chen Li'an turned to look at him and said, "Norwegian forest."

"It's this one again, can't we change it?" The drummer complained, and under Xu Qing's eyes, he didn't know what to say and stopped talking.

Chen Li'an glanced at Xu Qing gratefully, then turned to look at the girl in the red dress sitting at the bar. Tonight she ordered a colorful cocktail, but she still kept it on hand and didn't drink it.

Chen Li'an took a look, then looked away, lightly plucked the guitar, and sang the Norwegian Forest.

The singing tonight is no different from yesterday, the atmosphere in the bar is still the same as yesterday, no one cares about Chen Li'an's singing, a man wearing glasses took a look and looked away, it seems that Chen Li'an is not as cheap as the glass in front of him Beer is attractive.

The girl in the red dress just sat there quietly as if in a daze, and seemed to be listening to Chen Li'an's singing.

After a song was sung, when Chen Li'an turned his head to look at the bar, the girl disappeared again. The bartender took the cocktail back and wiped off all the water stains on the counter, as if she had never appeared before. Same.

Chen Li'an watched in silence for a while, and was about to step off the stage. A waiter came over with a small flower basket, and said to Chen Li'an: "Someone gave you a flower basket, saying that you sing well, but you are not a resident singer in our bar, so there is no commission." Here, do you want this flower basket?"

Just as Chen Li'an wanted to ask who sent it, Xu Qing beside him said happily: "Someone sent you a flower basket? I just said you sing well!"

Chen Li'an's words were interrupted by Xu Qing, and he didn't have the courage to ask, so he just took the flower basket and said thank you.

Xu Qing looked at Chen Li'an happily and said, "Let's have supper together tonight, I'll treat you."

Chen Li'an shook his head while holding the flower basket and said to Xu Qing: "Thank you, I won't go, next time. Next time I have a chance, I will treat you to dinner."

Under Xu Qing's disappointed eyes, Chen Li'an left with a guitar on his back and a small flower basket.

Tonight, there was a touch of color in that dark and damp small room, like a touch of color added to Chen Li'an's gloomy life.

Huo Jianqi in front of the monitor re-read all the material, then turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Honey, your script is really good! Li An's acting is also good!"

Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Of course! You're good at taking pictures!"

Chen Li'an sat by the side and listened to the husband and wife flattering each other, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned silently and went to the bar counter to get a bottle of beer.

He Qing and Xu Qing were sitting together and chatting at this time, He Qing didn't like her current role a little bit, looked at Xu Qing and said: "I don't feel like I have much part in the role, I'm still the number one female, I don't think I have as many roles as you .”

Xu Qing smiled and said: "I still want your role, how wonderful, just like the white moonlight."

"Come on, it's a symbol of stream of consciousness." He Qing sighed, turned her head to look at Chen Li'an, and said, "We are all supporting, and he is the real protagonist."

"The foil is pretty good." Xu Qing said indifferently: "He acts well and is famous, so it's not shameful to be a foil for him."

He Qing nodded and said, "That's true."

"Sister, I won't chat with you anymore. I'll go have a drink too, or I'll be busy again later."

Xu Qing stood up and ran to Chen Li'an, unceremoniously took a big gulp of the beer in front of him, and gave a comfortable jolt.

"It's so cold." Xu Qing's expression was a little cute, but her movements looked very charming, especially with a little crystal beer on her chin, and those red lips looked very sexy.

Chen Li'an looked at the lipstick mark on the mouth of the bottle, and didn't continue to pick it up to drink.

"Why don't you drink anymore?" Xu Qing leaned in front of Chen Li'an, leaned on the bar and looked at him and asked, "Don't you think I've had a drink? I don't even hate you."

Chen Li'an glanced at her speechlessly, but still took a sip of the beer, expressing that he didn't dislike it.

"Want one?" Xu Qing took out another cigarette and handed it to Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an drank his beer and said, "I won't smoke anymore, I will sing later. Singing is not good, and smoking is even worse."

"Okay, there are still a few singing scenes later, I have to work overtime tonight." Xu Qing looked down at her white and tender fingers, because she had to play the guitar during the filming, and her fingers were worn red.

Chen Li'an glanced at it and said nothing, this trivial matter is nothing, if it is more rigorous, Xu Qing should learn it specially.

However, Chen Li'an's own skills are also mediocre, far behind the professional ones, that is, he only sang two songs in the movie, otherwise he would have to practice for a long time.

After resting for a while, Huo Jianqi also greeted him to continue filming. Chen Li'an put down the beer he had just finished drinking and walked to the stage.

"Every department is ready, start!" After Huo Jianqi shouted, the filming continued.

Since receiving the flower basket that day, Chen Li'an would come to the bar every night to wait for He Qing to appear, and then went on stage to sing, always singing the song "Norwegian Forest", but every time He Qing left without finishing listening.

Every time Chen Li'an didn't strike up a conversation, nor went to ask her why she didn't finish listening, but stubbornly used this method to prove it. As for what to prove, he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know whether he was singing for He Qing or not. Sing to my dream that has never been recognized by this city.

From that day on, Chen Li'an never received a flower basket again, and the regular customers in the bar were tired of listening to this song, and every time Chen Li'an went to heaven, some people couldn't help booing.

The accent of the people in the capital sounded very arrogant, and those boos with looking down made it even more harsh. Chen Li'an held the guitar tightly every time, and endured all this in silence.

Only Xu Qing was there to encourage him, and every time he would help Chen Li'an to ask the band for help, beg the boss to save face, playfully joke with the guests, hoping they would finish listening.

Chen Li'an always thank you, next time I have a chance to treat you to dinner.
It's just that the cash-strapped Chen Li'an didn't know when he could invite Xu Qing to dinner, and every time he finished speaking, he ran away without looking back.

After the filming of these scenes, it was already past two o'clock in the night, everyone was very sleepy, Chen Li'an's voice was a little hoarse, Xu Qing handed over a fat sea beside him.

"Take one, be careful that you won't be able to speak tomorrow."

Chen Li'an took it over and subconsciously said, "Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"Haha, don't talk about it." Xu Qing couldn't help laughing, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I've listened to it more than a dozen times tonight."

Chen Li'an also couldn't help laughing, he really said it well, he threw Pang Haihai into his mouth and looked at her and said: "When the movie is finished, I will definitely treat you to a good meal."

Xu Qing blinked, looked at him and said, "You can eat anything, even white water noodles."

Chen Li'an smiled and said no, so he took the guitar and left. Xu Qing looked at his back and muttered, "Where is the food you want to eat?"

The second day of filming was in Tongzilou, in that small single room, Chen Lian sat in front of the camera, holding his own stainless steel bowl, watering the withered flowers in the flower basket, his movements were pious and focused.

Looking at the dewdrops on the petals, Chen Li'an somehow thought of Xu Qing's round face. The movements of his hands suddenly paused, he put down the bowl in his hand, glanced at the guitar by the wall, got up and went out.

"Hi, are you short of resident singers?" In a bar, Chen Li'an looked at the bar owner and asked.

The bar owner took a look at him, waved his hand and said, "No, you can go to another place and ask."

Chen Li'an came out disappointed, changed to a bar and went in.

"Hi, are you short of resident singers here?"

"Is there an original song? Sing a few lines and listen."

"Every night."

"You'd better go back and practice again."

"Hello, Boss, are you short of resident singers?"

"unnecessary."

Chen Li'an was hitting a wall all day long, and at night he went to that bar again, looked at that dark alley, and took another step inside than before, his whole body was completely submerged in darkness.

In the dark, he looked at the feasting lights outside, his eyes were dry and itchy, and there was only a shriveled cigarette case left in his pocket.

Chen Li'an watched the cigarette case dropped on the ground in silence for a long time, then raised his head and stepped on the crumpled cigarette case and walked out of the alley.

In the bar tonight, Xu Qing didn't wait for Chen Li'an to appear, and he was lying on the bar counter waiting for something, nor was he disappointed because no one sang the Norwegian Forest, and left after sitting for a while.

On the street outside the bar, Chen Li'an passed by a black Mercedes-Benz, and the driver wore a gold watch on his wrist, which was extraordinarily dazzling.

Chen Li'an smelled the bad car exhaust, turned around and disappeared at the corner of the street.

"Okay, call it a day! You have worked hard tonight!" Huo Jianqi stood up and shouted.

Hu Jun sat in the Mercedes-Benz car, opened the door and got out of the car, leaned on the door and looked at Huo Jianqi and shouted: "Director, I have been waiting for this scene for more than an hour, you must not treat me to supper to comfort me Give it a go."

Huo Jianqi immediately smiled and said, "I'll treat you to dinner after the filming is over."

"Cut! It's exactly the same as what Mr. Chen said!" Hu Jun couldn't help complaining.

Anyone who is bored at the entrance of the bar will have to pick their fingers. This movie is out of line!
The script was obviously not like this at the beginning, so why did it suddenly change beyond recognition? Now it's less and less like a female lead.

To be precise, both myself and Xu Qing are the number one female lead, but the real protagonist is only Chen Li'an.

He Qing felt that she was going to be bored to death, that is, watching Chen Li'an act every day, she could still have some fun, at least watching Chen Li'an perform was very enjoyable.

It's just that her rivalry with Chen Li'an is worth not mentioning!

He Qing glanced at Xu Qing, who was smoking a cigarette, and was still a little envious of her having so many scenes with Chen Li'an.

At this time, Chen Li'an had already returned from a stroll on the other side of the street, walked up to Huo Jianqi and asked, "What content will be filmed tomorrow?"

Huo Jianqi said helplessly: "Tomorrow, I will have a day off. The shooting is too fast now. I have to go back and check the material carefully."

Chen Li'an: "." Don't NG blame me?I can't save myself money!
