Rose Manor

Shen Jianian finished practicing a piece of music, and the next second, the door of the rehearsal room was knocked twice. She stood up and put the cello away, and the door just happened to be pushed open from the outside.

Yan Hong walked in, followed by a middle-aged man with a moustache, wearing a black POLO shirt and brown casual trousers. His face gave people an artistic look.

"Manager Yan." Shen Jianian greeted him with a smile. He didn't know what to call the man, so he nodded towards him.

Yan Hong rubbed her hands and didn't know how to start her conversation. She knew Shen Jianian's temperament and was very stubborn in some aspects. It took more than a few words or the promise of benefits to persuade her.

"Jianian, I have something to tell you." Yan Hong looked at the man beside her, "Let me introduce you first. This is director Wu Heng, who is also my friend."

"Let me do the talking." Wu Heng took over.

Shen Jianian was confused, and then he heard the director named Wu Heng say that he was making a movie, and there was a female character who was a cellist. She was in her early twenties. She didn't have many roles, but it was very important.It was previously planned to invite well-known actors to make guest appearances, and a professional cellist would be hired as a stand-in for the cello part.

He tried taking a few shots, but the results were not very satisfactory.

After discussing with the screenwriter, Wu Heng decided to find a real cellist in the orchestra to play the role.

It happened that a friend was a band manager, so he took the time to come over. He was just waiting for Yan Hong when he heard the sound of cello coming from the rehearsal room. He came over to take a look out of curiosity and felt that Shen Jianian's temperament was very suitable for what he wanted. The feeling and the external image fit the character very well, so I decided to invite her to film this part.

Shen Jia Nian understood what he heard and pointed to himself to confirm with Director Wu: "You mean to let me make a movie?"

Director Wu Heng touched the mustache on his lips and smiled kindly: "You got it right."

Shen Jianian was surprised and was stunned for several seconds before speaking frankly: "But, I have no acting skills and I can't act. I can only play the cello."

Yan Hong was amused by her serious look. She patted her back lightly, unable to hide her affection for her. She turned to Wu Heng and said, "This child is very direct. I spent a lot of time trying to persuade her to join the band." .”

Yan Hong is 46 years old this year. As a manager, she is usually responsible for performance arrangements, financial management, publicity and promotion, etc. People in the band often jokingly call her "Yan Ma", which means that she has to worry about everything just like an old woman.

Since Shen Jianian joined the orchestra, Yan Hong has always taken special care of her, whether it is a solo performance or a concert with other members.

Therefore, everyone calls her "Yan Ma's daughter".

Shen Jianian is a person who knows how to repay kindness, so she has to give Yan Hong face, but she is really not good at acting.

Wu Heng saw her concerns and explained patiently: "This character doesn't have many lines. The only important scene is playing the cello on the stage, and her boyfriend is watching from the audience."

Male, boyfriend?

Shen Jia Nian was shocked, why is there an emotional drama?
"When you get to the filming site, I will guide you on how to act. Don't worry too much about your inability to act." Wu Heng was very satisfied with her and had already recreated the scene in the script with her face in his mind, "The unpolished jade , sometimes it will produce unexpected effects.”

Shen Jia Nian tightened his lips and showed hesitation.

Yan Hong glanced at Wu Heng, and I told her that she was not so easy to persuade.

Wu Heng had a grimace on his face and had to bow to Shen Jianian: "Your name is Shen Jianian, right? Help me."

Shen Jianian couldn't say anything too strong to a man who was nearly fifty years old and could be his father, so he had to look at Yan Hong.

"Wu Heng told me that the scenes related to this character can be filmed in a few days, why don't you try it?" Yan Hong said in a soft voice, trying to persuade, "The filming location is in Jiangcheng, so there will be no delay. "

Shen Jianian thought for a long time and finally agreed.

The next morning, Shen Jianian went to the crew to report.

She didn't have an agent or assistant, so she went there alone and signed the contract first, because she was "Yan Hong's person" and the director gave her a good salary.

The filming only lasted a few days, and Shen Jianian saw that the contract stated 20 before tax, which was enough to see the director's sincerity.

Being on the set for the first time, Shen Jianian was curious about everything he saw. The place he was currently in was a university. It was summer break and there were not many students on campus.

The open space was filled with the crew's equipment, including silver tracks, cameras, monitors, lighting boards, prop boxes, and thick black wires criss-crossing each other, making it a bit messy.

Shen Jianian took the dress the costume designer gave her and went to the bathroom in the teaching building next door to change it. After she came out, everyone couldn't help but look at her appraisingly.

The skirt is not so gorgeous and exquisite, it is a simple white shirt skirt with a thin brown belt tied around the waist and paired with off-white Roman sandals.

Under the parasol, there was an actress sitting on a folding chair. The stylist was applying makeup to her. She held a small pink fan in one hand and blew it on her neck, while she held a script in the other hand.A young assistant stood next to him, holding a cup of iced coffee with a straw in his hand.

Someone walked past in front of her, and the actress raised her eyes, her gaze lingering on the other person for a while: "Is this Wen Shuling the director found?"

Wen Shuling is the character played by Shen Jianian.Hearing this, Shen Jianian paused briefly and glanced at the actress.She didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry. She just felt that the other person looked familiar. She couldn't pronounce his name for a while, so she said: "Hello."

The actress had no airs and showed her a friendly smile: "Hello."

After Shen Jia Nian left, the actress's assistant bent down and said in her ear: "She is the one who plays Wen Shuling. The director gave everyone a day off yesterday afternoon just to go to the orchestra to look for people in person."

The actress commented: "The temperament is quite suitable for Bai Yueguang's character,"

Wu Heng assigned a stylist to do Shen Jianian's makeup and hair, and took this time to tell her: "Get familiar with the script first. The first scene is mainly about finding the feeling, don't be too nervous. I will carry the cello for a while, and from there on Walk along the tree-lined road." Wu Heng pointed to the road next to her, which was lined with tall and lush camphor trees. "The hero will block your way, so you should act a little colder..."

Speaking of this, Wu Heng didn't know what he thought of and couldn't help laughing: "I think it's enough for you to act your true self in this scene."

This girl is already cold enough when she doesn't speak, so she doesn't need to act.

Shen Jia Nian felt embarrassed and his face felt a little hot.

"Anyway, just follow my guidance. It's not as difficult as you think." Wu Heng warned again and again, "Don't be nervous. As long as you don't be nervous, everything will be easy."

When a person is nervous, his face and limbs will subconsciously tense up, and the film will be unwatchable.

After Wu Heng left, Shen Jianian picked up the script and read it intently. The plush brush gently swept over her face. From time to time, she listened to the stylist's instructions to "lift her chin a little bit", "look down" and "tilt her face a little".

The script in her hand was not as thick as that of the female lead. There were only a few scenes. She read it once and the plot was very romantic and beautiful.

Shen Jia Nian was quite puzzled. The relationship between the male protagonist and "Wen Shuling" was so good, how could he and the heroine develop?

Later, she learned from the female lead that the character Wen Shuling she played was Bai Yueguang who died in the male protagonist's mind and only existed in the male protagonist's mind.

She performs several consecutive scenes, and later editing will intersperse the memories of the male protagonist.

After the preparations were completed, Shen Jianian finally met the leading actor opposite her. He had been staying in the RV doing some modeling.

The man is about 25 or [-] years old. He has short, refreshing hair. The broken hair on his forehead seems casual, but in fact, every strand is carefully taken care of. The makeup on his face is very light, but flawless, showing off his handsome facial features to the maximum extent. .

He was wearing a white T-shirt with a white shirt on top, all the buttons unbuttoned, and underneath were light blue jeans and white sneakers. He looked handsome and handsome.

Shen Jianian looked at him and remembered Pei Che in his youth.

The man put his left hand into his trouser pocket, walked straight to Shen Jia Nian, snapped his fingers in her ear, bent down slightly, and said with a clear smile in his tone, "Is this the white moonlight that I have always missed?"

Shen Jianian took half a step back, not used to being so close to a stranger.

"Hey, are you serious about taking half a step back?" The man straightened up, took out the hand from his trouser pocket, stretched it out in front of her, coughed slightly, and introduced himself in a more serious tone, "Hello, My name is Gu Chongli, I have been to Gu Chongli three times, worshiping Chong, and being polite. If we are going to play a role together later, we have to get familiar with it first."

Shen Jianian held his fingertips lightly and then let go, saying calmly: "Hello."

"Have you already entered the role?" Gu Chongli's seriousness only lasted for a second, and he was joking in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jia Nian said nothing.

Gu Chongli asked her: "I don't know your name yet, how should I address you?"

As soon as he got out of the RV, the assistant pointed out the girl to him and said that this was the "Bai Yueguang" the director had found, who played the cello professionally.

Shen Jia Nian replied lukewarmly: "Shen Jia Nian."

"Shen, Jia, Nian?" Gu Chongli repeated her name one word at a time, with a slight upward pitch at the end. He squinted his eyes and suddenly let out a "hiss", "Is it Jia for commendation and Nian for miss?"

Shen Jia Nian nodded, but her attitude was still not very warm. She was not a familiar person and could not chat comfortably with strangers.

Gu Chongli took out his mobile phone from his back pocket and sent a WeChat message to his friend.

"I remember hearing you say before that the name of your brother's dead Bai Yueguang was Shen Jia Nian. What a coincidence, my dead Bai Yue Guang was also named Shen Jia Nian."

After my friend finished filming the great director's debut film that had been dormant for five years, he won several trophies and was no longer on the same level as other actors of the same age.

After a while, the friend replied: "Can you speak human language?"

It was too troublesome to type an explanation. When Gu Chongli saw Shen Jia Nian walking away, he pressed the voice button and spoke to the phone: "There is a new actress on the crew named Shen Jia Nian. She also plays the cello. She plays the role of Bai Yueguang, the dead male protagonist in the play. Isn’t this a coincidence?”
