Chapter 93 Feeling Like First Love
Jiang Siyan's idea at the beginning was to send Peng Chen home to rest, and then find time to talk to her about the new movie script in two days. But how could Peng Chen, with his career mind, wait two days, so he took Jiang Siyan back to his home that night.
When the two of them got out of the car, Dahai sat in the car and stopped talking for a long time. Finally, he couldn't hold back and dragged Peng Chen over, and cautiously suggested, "Sister, why don't I go up with you?"
Peng Chen Chen glanced at him: "What are you doing here? You can't understand!"
Dahai: "...But it's already 12 o'clock now!" What is the concept of 12 o'clock? 12:00 is the easiest time to transform! Even Cinderella will show her original shape at this time. As the saying goes, widows and widows live in the same room, how can you be sure that Jiang Siyan is not evil?
Of course, Dahai only thought about the latter sentence in his heart, and didn't dare to say it. In fact, it's not that Dahai has no confidence in Jiang Siyan, he has no confidence in all men. Men, how many of them are good people!
As a result, as soon as Peng Chen finished listening, he immediately said in a hurry: "It's already 12 o'clock? Then we need to hurry up and talk."
Dahai: "..." Sister, I didn't mean you, I have never seen you so puzzled. flamboyant person.
This is not Jiang Siyan's first visit to Peng Chen's house. The last time he came, he met Wang Xia. It's just that he went to Peng Chen's house twice in a row, and the last thing they talked about was business, which made Jiang Siyan a little dumbfounded.
Although Peng Chen spends less time at home on weekdays, because Yuan Yuan would ask his aunt to come over every week to help with cleaning, and every now and then, he would dry Peng Chen's quilt and ventilate the room. What, so even if no one lives in the house, it looks very clean and tidy. And the little girl Yuan Yuan is careful, although she didn't prepare ingredients for Peng Chen, she did put all kinds of purified water and drinks in the refrigerator in advance. Peng Chen opened the refrigerator, then looked back at Jiang Siyan, who was helping her carry the suitcase into the living room two steps behind, and asked, "What would you like to drink?" Jiang Siyan took a glance at the refrigerator: "Mineral water That's it."
Peng Chen then took out two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator, sat down on the sofa, and enthusiastically waved to Jiang Siyan: "Come on, come on!"
Jiang Siyan: "..."
Jiang Siyan is of course impossible He brought the paper version of the script with him directly, but he had an electronic file in his work mailbox, so he directly used Peng Chen's laptop to log in to his work mailbox, and then opened the electronic file of the script for Peng Chen to read.
Peng Chen only glanced at it, and realized why Jiang Siyan said that this script was suitable for her when she was in the car just now, because this script told the story of Peking Opera artist Hongmei. Hongmei began to learn Peking Opera at the age of 5, and played Huadan and Tsing Yi on stage at the age of 13. She once worshiped a master of Peking Opera as a teacher. In order to learn opera, she has endured a lot of hardships and suffered many hardships that ordinary people have never suffered.
In the past, opera performances were often regarded as low-level performances, and the status of actors was relatively low, and there were even so-called low-level performances.
Peng Chen has a deeper feeling about this aspect than others, because when she was dressed as an opera actress before, she really experienced that era. Unlike other actors, we can only get a little information about that era through written records or videos.
The role of Hongmei is not the kind of delicate opera actor. Although she plays a female role on stage, her acting style is charming and heroic, including her private character, which is also a fierce woman. So she is the most famous on stage, but also all kinds of heroines, or all kinds of chivalrous women.
And Peng Chen likes this kind of beautiful girl with chivalrous spirit.
So even if it was just an art film, she liked it after reading the script.
Jiang Siyan knew that she liked her just by looking at her expression, so he said, "Then I will find a time to arrange it. You can meet with the director then and talk about the script and the characters? By the way, you can also talk about the script and characters with Miss Xia." Say hello in advance, and ask her not to arrange other TV drama scripts for you in the near future."
Peng Chen nodded obediently: "Okay."
After talking about work, Peng Chen belatedly realized that he was a bit uncomfortable.
In fact, this discomfort is mainly related to the atmosphere of sudden silence. Because the two of them suddenly fell silent, even the ticking of the wall clock on the wall could be heard clearly.
Peng Chen wanted to say something to break the embarrassment, but he didn't know what to say. While hesitating, he saw Jiang Siyan slowly approaching her, looked at her arm and asked, "The last time I was filming, the injury I suffered Are you ready?" Peng Chen froze for a moment, then subconsciously rolled up his cuffs and glanced at his arms. When she was filming last week, she accidentally knocked on the mountain. At that time, she just felt pain. After returning to the hotel, she took off her coat and found that she had broken a piece of skin. She habitually brought a small medicine box with her when she went out, so after returning to the hotel, she simply treated the wound and left it alone. If Jiang Siyan didn't mention it, she would almost forget about it. He rolled up his sleeves and took a look, only to find that the wound had scabbed over. Peng Chen said indifferently: "It's okay, it's all scabbed over. But how did you know about my injury?" Jiang Siyan's eyes still stayed on her wound: "I read Haihai's Weibo." Peng Chen Oh morning. She seldom posts on Weibo herself, so it is even more impossible for her to post on Weibo about small things like injuries, but Hai Hai is different, he has to post a set of Jiugongge for even trivial things. Just as Peng Chen was thinking, he heard Jiang Siyan continue to say: "I have a tube of ointment for removing scars at home. It works very well. I'll bring it to you tomorrow." Just as Peng Chen was about to say no, Jiang Siyan had already stood up from the sofa "Okay, it's getting late, you go to bed early, I'll go back first." Seeing this, Peng Chen immediately took back the rejection, then got up and sent Jiang Siyan to the door. When Jiang Siyan reached out to pull the door, Peng Chen's eyes flickered inadvertently, and suddenly saw that Jiang Siyan also had a small wound on his arm, and it was already scarred. Isn't it said that there is a tube of ointment for removing scars at home that is particularly effective?
It wasn't until Jiang Siyan said good night and opened the door and walked out that Peng Chen realized that the ointment for removing scars was actually fake. Jiang Siyan probably wanted to find a reason to meet her.
Jiang Siyan came over the next day with a few tubes of ointment for scar removal. In addition, he also helped Peng Chen make an appointment with the director and producer of the new drama "Red Plum". The meeting place was set at a private restaurant near Peng Chen's home.
Wang Xia also came together. After all, it was a matter of work. She, the agent, should come forward.
The director of "Red Plum" is surnamed Yue, and he started out making literary films, but he himself does not look literary at all, but rather rough. With a bald head, a beer belly, and a shaved beard, a layer of stubble can still be seen on his face. Anyway, he is not the same as the director of a literary film that Peng Chen imagined.
But Peng Chen thought about it again, who stipulated that a tough guy can't have a girlish heart? When I think about it this way, I am relieved.
Director Yue has a good relationship with Jiang Siyan. In fact, Director Yue directed Jiang Siyan's movie that won Best Actor. It's just that later Jiang Siyan started to be an investor and his own boss, and the filming was more for fun, so the two never cooperated again.
In fact, Director Yue wanted to invite Jiang Siyan for the movie "Red Plum" at the beginning. After all, in the Beijing opera business, there are many examples of men playing female roles as dan roles, and many Peking opera masters have very classic dan roles. It has been handed down to future generations, and with Jiang Siyan's appearance condition, after dressing up and standing on the stage, she might be more beautiful than many actresses!
Unfortunately, Jiang Siyan refused.
However, although Jiang Siyan refused to act, he agreed to invest in this drama. In addition, he also recommended Peng Chen to Director Yue.
Director Yue didn't like the actor Peng Chen before. After all, Peng Chen's previous acting skills could not be said to be bad, they could only be said to be poor. But I don't know what happened in the past two years. Peng Chen's acting skills seem to have improved by leaps and bounds, and he seems to have won an award for acting skills last year. The most important thing is that Director Yue has heard more than once people in the circle applaud the actor Peng Chen to him, and now even Jiang Siyan has begun to applaud him, so Director Yue can't help but become full of enthusiasm for the meeting with Peng Chen today. expect.
Facts have proved that Peng Chen did not disappoint him.
Originally, today it was just a simple dinner together, chatting about plays, and did not intend to let Peng Chen try the plays, but after chatting and chatting, Peng Chen directly gave him a piece of Peking Opera on the spot. And it is a famous piece in Peking Opera Tsing Yi - "The Drunken Concubine". Although Peng Chen didn't wear costumes, and she didn't deliberately dress up as Tsing Yi, but with just one look, she could act out Concubine Yang's shyness, and with one fingering, she could act out Concubine Yang's delicate body... This is still not dressed up. If the filming of the film actually started, she would put on Tsing Yi or Danjiao's costume and flick her sleeves, she would be so beautiful.
Anyway, after singing a short excerpt from Peking Opera, Director Yue's original uncertainty disappeared completely.
The role of Hongmei is none other than Peng Chen!
Although the play "Red Plum" has been decided to be played by Peng Chen, the official filming is estimated to be in the next year. On the one hand, the script needs to be polished again, and on the other hand, before the official start, Director Yue will arrange for several actors to conduct intensive training ranging from 3 to 6 months under the leadership of Peking Opera teachers. After all, not only Peng Chen will play Hongmei, a famous Peking opera artist, but other actors in the play will also have corresponding Peking opera clips to perform on stage. The movements, expressions, and postures must be well acted, otherwise it will be ridiculous at that time.
This arrangement is quite in line with Peng Chen's wishes. After all, as early as the beginning of this year, Wang Xia had already negotiated another TV series for Peng Chen, and she will start filming after the drama "Song Jiawan" is finished.
Calculated in this way, as soon as Peng Chen's new drama finished filming, he had a ten-and-a-half-month break and just joined the filming group of "Red Plum", so the schedule was just right.
After meeting Director Yue, Wang Xia hurried back to the company to do other things, so in the end it was Jiang Siyan's part-time driver who took Peng Chen home.
Peng Chen spent almost 5 months on the set for the filming of "Song Jiawan", and the filming of this film was extremely hard, so she was seriously injured during the filming. So when she came back this time, Wang Xia didn't arrange any other business activities for her, but simply let her rest at home. If it wasn't for meeting Director Yue that day, Peng Chen wouldn't even plan to go out.
Jiang Siyan knew that Peng Chen had no work arrangements today, so he suggested while turning the steering wheel skillfully, "Would you like to go to the movies?"
Peng Chen didn't expect him to make such a proposal suddenly, and was taken aback for a while. Then he replied: "Can it work?"
Jiang Siyan: "It should be fine, let's go and see." The
two drove to the nearest movie theater. On the way, Peng Chen picked out the movie he wanted to watch, and then After parking the car, Jiang Siyan went up to buy a ticket, while Peng Chen sat in the car and waited for him.
About 10 minutes later, Jiang Siyan sent a message, saying that the ticket was bought and let her go up.
Peng Chen followed Jiang Siyan's instructions on WeChat to the cinema, and found a rest table. There is a large bucket of popcorn and a glass of Coke on the rest table.
But he didn't see Jiang Siyan.
Peng Chen moved the popcorn bucket away, and sure enough, he saw a movie ticket under the bucket.
Peng Chen thought it was a bit funny, it was just watching a movie, it looked like an underground gang joint, it was quite exciting!
The movie theater started to check tickets 10 minutes earlier, but Peng Chen deliberately waited outside for a while, and she didn't go in until one minute before the movie screening.
As soon as I found the screening hall, the lights in the hall went out - the movie had already started.
Peng Chen was about to take another look at his own row and number under the bright and uncertain lights of the movie theater, when he stretched out a hand behind him, and gently supported her arm, afterward, Jiang Siyan's familiar voice sounded softly in the She whispered in her ear: "Follow me."
Wearing masks and hats, the two walked silently through the crowd, and quickly found their place.
After sitting down, Peng Chen couldn't help laughing silently.
I felt like I was back in school suddenly!
At that time, the classmates in the class fell in love with each other secretly, for fear of being discovered by the teachers and classmates.
Unexpectedly, she and Jiang Siyan are both so old, and they can still experience this feeling of first love.
