Top Dupe CH 030 Don’t Go Back Until We’re Drunk Part 2
"I will definitely shatter the dark sky and let you see what color it is outside."
The camera zoomed out and Yan Ye was seen squatting beside the car, holding Bai Ying for a long time.
The director didn't shout cut, and the two people's postures didn't change once.
It wasn't until Luo Yu was almost suffocated by Gu Xiaowei that he moved.
Gu Xiaowei only slightly relaxed his embrace, but did not let go of Luo Yu.
Luo Yu could even feel the restraint between Gu Xiaowei's arms that wanted to hold him tightly but maintained a degree of control.
"Okay! Very good!" Lin Yue's voice came from afar.
Luo Yu finally struggled out of Gu Xiaowei's arms. As soon as he raised his eyes and saw the expression on the other man's face, he knew that the other had not come out of the acting zone yet.
"Gu Xiaowei, Gu Xiaowei! Look at me! I'm still alive." Luo Yu hesitated for a moment, then patted the other man's cheek gently.
Gu Xiaowei took a deep breath, as if his soul had returned from another world, and softly called: "Senior Brother."
Luo Yu was stunned for a moment. Just two words, but when they were uttered from the other's lips, it held a touching nostalgia and reluctance to say goodbye.
At this time, a staff member came to send flowers to Luo Yu.
"Congratulations! Bai Ying is finished!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Lin Yue also stood and waved to him: "Xiao Luo! Xiao Luo!"
Luo Yu patted Gu Xiaowei's shoulder and said softly: "I'm going over to the director. Do you have any night scenes tonight?"
"No." Gu Xiaowei shook his head.
"Then let's have dinner together tonight. Do you still remember your 168 yuan spa package?"
"I remember."
"Then... see you later?"
"En."
Luo Yu turned around and ran towards Lin Yue, opened his arms and gave him a big hug.
"Director Lin——I'm done! Are you satisfied with Bai Ying's ending scene?"
Lin Yue nearly lost his hold on the thermos cup, but even so he patted Luo Yu on the back, "Satisfied, you handed in a perfect answer sheet. When we saw the finalization, many people's eyes were filled with tears! Your acting skills are very good!"
"That's all due to Teacher Gu, his acting can pull everyone into the mood of the scene!"
Luo Yu turned around and found that Gu Xiaowei was still standing under the light and looking at him, just like Yan Ye looking at Bai Ying across the road.
"Here, this is a red envelope for you." Lin Yue took out a red envelope from his pocket.
"Aiyo! Thank you, Director Lin! Let me soak up Director Lin's good fortune!"
Unexpectedly, Screenwriter Hua Xingyun also came over. He hugged Luo Yu first, and then said with an annoyed look: "This Lin Yue is so evil! I told him that he must let me know to watch your ending scene. He promised and all that, but in the end, he didn’t even notify me until after you finished filming!”
Lin Yue smiled and said: "I'm just afraid that after watching the wonderful scene between Xiao Gu and Xiao Luo, you will be inspired to create, and then discuss with me to change the script again! When will we ever finish filming this drama then?"
Hua Xingyun threw an arm around Luo Yu's shoulders and whispered: "He is afraid that I can't let go of the role of Bai Ying and you. But just now I saw you and Xiao Gu’s scene. Clearly it was me who came up with every line and every scene in my mind, but as soon as you looked in the direction of the convenience store, I bursted into tears!"
"I am very satisfied if I can have such an effect."
Hua Xingyun also took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Luo Yu, "Xiao Luo, this industry is quite fickle. I also know that you have suffered some setbacks in the past few years, but I hope you can always maintain your true heart. Next time I work with you again... I hope to praise how your acting skills have improved again!"
"Sure!"
"Xiao Luo, what are your plans for the future?" Lin Yue came over and asked seriously.
"Filming some more of course." Luo Yu smiled.
"En, I asked a few friends, and they actually have a few roles that are suitable for you, and they said they will contact your agent."
When Lin Yue said this, it was no different than directly offering him the roles.
After all, because of his status in the industry, other film and television companies and directors have to give him some face.
"Thank you, Director Lin, no matter what role I play, I will play it seriously." Luo Yu sincerely thanked him.
"Originally, Screenwriter Hua and I planned to have a small dinner party for you. Just call you and Xiao Gu over to have a meal and some drinks together. But the filming tasks for this drama are quite heavy, so I'm afraid we won't be able to do it." Lin Yue said.
Luo Yu's heart warmed up. With Lin Yue's status in the industry, he even thought of hosting a farewell party for Luo Yu. He was truly very optimistic about him and recognized his ability.
"So Xiao Luo, when our "Counterattack" is released, there will definitely be a party. If you are free, you must come." Lin Yue said.
"Of course!" Luo Yu nodded.
Screenwriter Hua also said, "We also told the set manager not to cancel your room right away. You can stay for a few more days if you want."
"I must really thank Director Lin and Screenwriter Hua for taking care of me!" Luo Yu bowed to them.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Luo Yu with flowers in his arms was about to walk away, but was pulled under the lights by the teacher in charge of behind the scenes shots.
"Xiao Luo, don't leave in a hurry! Bai Ying needs to have his ending photos taken!"
"Oh, okay!"
Just after taking two photos, someone walked up to Luo Yu, and Gu Xiaowei's voice sounded: "Can you take a photo for us?"
"No problem! Of course, no problem!"
Luo Yu was also moved. This was his first time filming with Gu Xiaowei. It would be perfect to take a photo together as a souvenir.
Holding the flowers, Luo Yu was still thinking about what posture he should pose.
Because this photo would most likely be posted on the Internet. If he was too enthusiastic, he would be criticized for rubbing off traffic. If he stood too far away, he would be criticized for having a cold attitude towards Gu Xiaowei who had helped him so much.
At this time, Gu Xiaowei stretched out his arm, hooked it around Luo Yu's neck, gently clasped his shoulders, and brought him towards him.
The photographer seized the opportunity and took several photos in succession.
Gu Xiaowei walked over, took over the camera and looked at the photos carefully, then told the other to send a copy of the photos to him.
"Let's go, Senior Brother. We agreed that we won't go back until we get drunk tonight." Gu Xiaowei took the large bouquet of flowers from Luo Yu.
"Okay, don't go back until we're drunk. But… can you drink?" Luo Yu looked at Gu Xiaowei with suspicion.
His impression of Gu Xiaowei's drinking capacity was still the same as in the previous life. The two of them drank six or seven cans of beer backstage, and this guy ended up falling asleep leaning on his shoulder.
"Depends on who the opponent is." Gu Xiaowei smiled softly.
"Although I have a poor drinking capacity, you may not be my match." Luo Yu laughed heartily.
The two of them went to Gu Xiaowei's room together. Though Luo Yu said it was his treat, in fact, Xiao Qin had arranged everything in advance.
The food on the table was all delicious and fragrant, and there was also beer, white wine and red wine.
Gu Xiaowei pulled up the chair and said: "I originally wanted to invite Fang Qin and Brother Long over. But Fang Qin has a night scene, and Brother Long has now joined a new crew. So… it's just the two of us."
Luo Yu originally wanted to suggest calling over Xiao Qin and Brother Yan, but the moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly wanted to spend some time with Gu Xiaowei only.
Some words from the heart could not be expressed when there were too many people.
Luo Yu specially took up alcohol wipes and prepared to wipe the chopsticks.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaowei took over, "Today is your ending scene, so I will take care of these things."
Like old classmates reunited after a long separation, the two chatted a lot, such as how they encountered obstacles when they first went out to film in college, how they dealt with people with wicked intentions because of their good looks, and how the director yelled at them during filming.
When Gu Xiaowei shared these past things in a calm tone under the influence of alcohol, Luo Yu realized that what he had experienced, Gu Xiaowei had also experienced.
"You mean… someone also knelt in front of you and forced you to sign a contract with them?"
"En, yes."
"That person also said they are about to be bankrupt and needed you to save them?"
“En, yes."
"That person also said they would give you 50% of the company's shares?" Luo Yu looked incredulous.
"En, yes."
"Okay, 50% of the shares... at least they are more generous than Bo Wenyuan... How is that company?"
"It's very similar to Zhuque Media. It doesn't have a clear positioning and wants to make quick money through traffic."
"Why did you refuse?" Luo Yu asked curiously.
"People of different aspirations or principles cannot get along together." Gu Xiaowei replied.
Luo Yu held it in for a long time, then bumped his beer can, "As expected of Gu Xiaowei, your heart is as solid as a rock."
Only people like him could resist the temptation of fame and fortune in this circle and resolutely implement their own ideas.
"No, it's the lesson you gave me." Gu Xiaowei hesitated for a while, then said, "Because I saw that your talent was wasted by Zhuque Media. If I follow the same path, then... there is no way to help pull you out."
Gu Xiaowei's voice became very soft during the end, as if he was talking to himself, and Luo Yu didn't hear it clearly.
Luo Yu raised his beer and touched it with Gu Xiaowei's again, "If my previous experience can be your reference, I feel very lucky... just like... just like Bai Ying and Yan Ye, in Bai Ying's heart, as long as one of them could climb out of this dark world, it will be a win-win situation!"
Gu Xiaowei's gaze trembled slightly, but Luo Yu had already drank three cans of beer. He was not a good drinker and his head was slightly muddled by now.
"Senior Brother, can I ask you a few questions?" Gu Xiaowei said.
"You ask… you ask me whatever you want, and I’ll answer everything..."
"The year before last, there was a costume drama "Tea Ceremony", and you were asked to audition for a role as a tanhua lang (TN: candidate who came third in the imperial examination). Why did you agree at first, but then didn't go?"
Luo Yu tilted his head. Alcohol made his brain slow down. After searching through the messy memories, he said, "Because the anti fans left curses on my Weibo, saying that the role belonged to He Mu. Who knew that He Mu had gone to the audition and felt that the conditions offered by the crew were not good, so he didn’t accept it. Thinking about it now, I really lost out... what a big loss."
"It's not because the conditions offered by the crew were not good, but because his acting skills were not good and he was rejected by the director." Gu Xiaowei answered.
"Oh——" Luo Yu patted his chest hard, "Then I really... suffered an even bigger loss..."
"Later, a legal drama "Thistles and Thorns" asked you to audition as an assistant prosecutor. Why did you refuse directly?" Gu Xiaowei asked again.
"En… you must not be able to imagine, Bo Wenyuan called me personally and told me that this role is not suitable for my position and told me not to go. He said that I had been signed for two variety shows and that this role conflicted with my schedule. Yeah right... Dijun Media just wanted to insert a newcomer in the crew, but the director insisted on auditioning, and I was the most competitive actor among the auditionees. Bo Wenyuan didn’t want to offend Dijun Media, so he tried every means to prevent me from going."
