    Chapter 80 Nightmare

    "Appropriate tension can make the subsequent filming go more smoothly." Zhang Xinghuo rolled up the script in his hand and tapped his shoulder, "Shangnan, you should treat Mr. Fu as a friend and a teacher, not as a work partner.Otherwise, it will always be awkward.”

    "Li Yan is a stubborn and stubborn person. In fact, he can't live well anywhere. He is bored in everything. In fact, he is torturing himself. He relies on others and hates himself for not having any future.He has to ask for food from others again, which hurts his self-esteem a lot, and after he fell in love with Meng Dong later, he became even more sensitive."

    "Shang Nan, you must carefully understand this change in Li Yan's emotional attitude."

    Zhang Xinghuo talked a lot, and finally said ruthlessly: "You have to perform better today than yesterday." After he finished speaking, the field attendant called from outside, and he trotted away.

    Fu Wusheng could only ask Shannan to sit down, "Let your makeup artist come to my dressing room?"

    Shannan nodded, "Okay."

    Before Fu Wusheng could say anything, Xu Yuan had already gone out to call Shangnan's makeup artist.

    It was quiet in the dressing room. Although the air conditioner was on and the room temperature was low enough, Shannan felt that the palms of his hands were still so hot that the flesh on his knees was warmer than other parts.

    His makeup artist came in from the outside pushing a row of clothes hangers and carrying a suitcase. Li Yan's clothes had no texture and were designed according to his character. They were all black, white and gray.

    14 suddenly appeared at this moment, startling Shannan.

    [14: The personal information is almost collected, because you had contact with him last night. Otherwise, according to the current progress, it will take a few days to get the monster's information.]

    Fu Wusheng acted so normal that Shannan almost forgot that the opponent was a monster with a blackening value of 60.

    [14: Fu Wusheng lived more than a hundred years ago. When he was young, it was the heyday of Peking Opera. He became a famous Peking Opera actor. He was an upright and kind man. He saved many people and turned homeless orphans into children.Joined his own theater troupe, taught literacy and cooking skills.]

    [14: His master was beaten to death by a well-known local wealthy businessman in the downtown area. Fu Wusheng had no way to seek help. After he took over the position of the leader, he was betrayed by his most valued apprentice. The troupe changed owners, and Fu Wusheng owed him ten lifetimes.Debts that cannot be repaid.]

    [14: The new troupe leader was cruel and inhumane. The newcomers he recruited formed cliques and crowded out the old troupe members. All of Fu Wusheng's apprentices died unexpectedly, either from starvation, being whipped to death, or from serious injuries.]

    [14: Fu Wusheng had to sing for no less than nine hours every day. There was no time to take a breath, and naturally he also lacked time to practice. He did not rest well and his physical strength could not keep up. Fu Wusheng began to cough up blood, and his health deteriorated.]

    [14: The troupe couldn’t make any money, so the troupe leader was reluctant to let him go, and he was stingy about finding a doctor to treat Fu Wusheng. Fu Wusheng’s illness lasted for three years. When he got better, he had to go to the stage to sing. Before he died, Fu Wusheng was the last person alive.The youngest apprentice was hanged from the beam in order to grab a pot of hot water for him. Fu Wusheng also died that night.]

    [14: Before the young apprentice was hanged, they forced Fu Wusheng to sing a Wen Zhaoguan performance for them. Fu Wusheng's body was already at the end of his strength at that time. This kind of difficult drama required extremely high demands on the actor's singing and reading. He finished singing,The young apprentice was still hanged from the beam.]

    [14: On the night of Fu Wusheng’s death, it snowed heavily in the city. His body was rolled up and thrown into the street. When he woke up again, he was a nightmare.]

    Shang Nan: "Nama?"

    [14: Yes, nightmare, it was born in troubled times, and its hatred is intertwined like a web. What it hates more is actually an era, but it cannot deny that all the real happiness in its life is given by that era.]

    "Will he hurt us?"

    [14: The chances are low, Fu Wusheng is not that kind of person.]

    Shang Nan: "?"

    Shan Nan was helpless: "You seem to have secret feelings for Fu Wusheng?"

    [14: A singing tune, a sonorous life.I just admire Fu Wusheng.]

    [14: Well, having said that, nightmares are not very aggressive, but they are slow cuts. If a person indulges in dreams for a long time, no matter whether it is good or bad, the body will slowly collapse. And because it is a nightmare, as long as it cuts flesh,It thinks it can make you hallucinate.]

    Shang Nan suddenly remembered Zhou Li, whose height was not right last night, "Can it transform?"

    [14: It's not a transformation, it's your hallucination. It hasn't actually changed at all. This is the most terrifying thing. It can do almost anything it wants.]

    [14: So I am very glad that Fu Wusheng is a nightmare, but the most terrifying thing is here. Fu Wusheng will not hurt others, but the blackening value will increase. It itself is a nightmare, and it is even more difficult to escape from the past. When it turns blackAfter the value is full, everyone in its path will be trapped.]

    [14: Come on, enjoy the south.]

    "Will you have nightmares if you are close to him?"

    [14: It is possible that people with unstable minds and shadows in their hearts are more likely to be nightmares.]

    Shang Nan said he understood.

    When he came to his senses again, his state of mind when facing Fu Wusheng was different from before. Fu Wusheng was truly a man of glory and glory, with a pure and noble character.

    "Mr. Fu, if I encounter any confusion in acting in the future, can I ask you for advice?" Shang Nan took a set of clothes handed over by the makeup artist.

    Fu Wusheng was reading the script. He raised his head when he heard this, looked at the young man for a few seconds, and nodded, "Okay."

    A person who can be treated like a toy for his young apprentice must be a good master.

    Noon, the time when the sun is at its strongest.

    Shang Nan held the script and waited for the director to call start. He lowered his head and read the plot that was about to start filming again. He filmed the scene where he took a shower in his underwear in the yard because Meng Dong said there was no special bathroom for him to take a shower.He used a water pipe to wash himself in the yard, which faced Meng Dong's work area. Li Yan took off his clothes and poured cold water over his body, which was actually a bit angry.

    Zhang Xinghuo held the water pipe above his head and stroked his body with his other hand. He turned to look at Shannan, "When the camera comes here, take off your clothes and pants. After turning on the faucet, pour water from your head.Water, no shower gel, just soap, do you know how to soap?"

    "I know how to do it." Shonan nodded. Doing soap was not a difficult problem. What was difficult was stripping himself down to just a pair of underwear in front of everyone. Fortunately, it was summer.

    "I won't talk about it, Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu must have a more comprehensive understanding of the plot than I do." Zhang Xinghuo rolled up the script and looked at Shang Nan, "This part is not easy to act. The movements must be done neatly and beautifully.Take it off, let it go and wash it, don’t be coy, I’ll get angry if you do it.”

    After all units were ready, Zhang Xinghuo called start from behind the large monitor.

    Meng Dong walked around from the rear to the front of the car, held up the front hood with one hand, and stared inside for a while. He then looked sideways at the young man sitting beside him, "Give me the wrench, the third one from the left."

    Li Yan sat on the table, shook his legs, and played games indifferently.

    "Li Yan." Meng Dong called the boy's name calmly.

    Li Yan jumped down from the table. He covered his mobile phone on the table and took the No. 3 wrench from the long table where the tools were stacked. He handed it to Meng Dong and refused to let go, "I want to take a shower."

    "You don't need to report to me for taking a bath." Meng Dong said calmly.

    "Where is the bathroom?" Li Yan asked, and he loosened the wrench.

    Half of Meng Dong's body was buried in the car. Sweat flowed down his arms. His sweat-soaked muscles glistened under the sun shining in from behind. "There is no bathroom, so you have to wash up in the yard."

    Li Yan is not a person who will be humble. Even if being humble will make his life easier, it is not necessarily true that he has a lot of backbone. If he really has a backbone, he will just quit as soon as he lifts his schoolbag. He will not go to this school.Now, I can go to construction sites and cement, and pick up garbage on the road, and I can still survive.But he just couldn't bear it, so he just resigned himself to others. The young man's self-esteem and cheap backbone were still eating away at him day by day.

    He was so angry that he ran to take a bath in the yard, which was also due to his pride.

    Summer clothes are thin and it is not easy to take them off. Li Yan threw the clothes on a pile of cement bricks in the vegetable garden next to him. When he bent down, the spine on his back bulged. It was really...He is very thin.

    Time passed by, but no water came out of the water pipe. Sweat broke out on Shan Nan's forehead, and the camera crew's waist was sore as they held the camera and pointed it at the faucet.

    The veins on the back of Shang Nan's hands bulged. After working hard for a long time, he straightened up and looked at the director, "I can't turn on the faucet."

    Everyone in the audience couldn't stop laughing. They thought something had happened.

    Zhang Xinghuo couldn't bear to be harsh, "Just say it directly. I saw that you were trying so hard to suck the milk, so I thought you had some unique way of expressing yourself."

    "Mr. Fu, can you help me?" The person closest to Shannan was Fu Wusheng. Everyone else had their hands on their hands and couldn't spare their hands for a while.

    Fu Wusheng put down the wrench. When he came over, the photographer subconsciously turned the camera on him.

    Almost all the scenes revolved around Fu Wusheng, even outside the scene. For the first time, Shannan faced the feeling of being crushed professionally. But then he thought about who Fu Wusheng was. He was the pillar.As a famous actor, this is what he should be doing.

    Fu Wusheng squatted down next to the faucet. This was a rusty faucet specially found by the crew. Meng Dong is actually quite picky. You can tell by looking at his food, clothing, housing and transportation. A rusty faucet can also highlight the shabby living environment..

    Shang Nan stood beside Fu Wusheng with two thin legs. He was wearing Li Yan's flip-flops with Spongebob printed on the shoes. Maybe because the slippers were made of slippery material, his toes were pinched tightly and his joints were slightly swollen.White, very vivid.

    "Wow."

    The water pipe spurted out cold water, and Shannan subconsciously took a step back. Fu Wusheng wiped the water from his face, "Okay."

    "Thank you, Teacher Fu." Shannan said gratefully.

    "Um."

    After Zhang Xinghuo shouted "Start" again, Shang Nan bent down and turned on the faucet again. The process went smoothly. He held the water pipe and poured the cold water down. It was still a bit cold. Shang Nan almost instantly got goosebumps all over his body., the hairs on the forearms also stood up.

    Even though Shang Nan had worked very hard, this scene had to be reshot twice. The reason given by Zhang Xinghuo was: "It will be convenient to cut when the time comes."

    Zhou Li rushed to use a towel to wipe the water off Shang Nan's body. The others were drying Shang Nan's hair. While he was doing it, Fu Wusheng came over with a glass of water. He unplugged the hair dryer and said, "Meng Dong gave Li Yan a hair dryer."?”

    Everyone was stunned, "That's right, the next scene didn't involve dancing. It was just after taking a shower and cooking. The hair should be naturally dry. Phew, it's a good thing I didn't blow it, otherwise Director Zhang wouldn't have scolded me to death. Thank you, Teacher Fu, for reminding me."

    Fu Wusheng looked at Shang Nan sitting obediently on the bench, with the water on his hair flowing down his face. A rare smile slipped through his dark eyes, "You can wipe it with a towel. I can still afford a towel."

    A dry towel was thrown over Shang Nan's head. He didn't understand it at first. After wiping his hair halfway, he realized that Fu Wusheng's words just now were spoken from Meng Dong's perspective.

    At the beginning of the second scene, the floor attendant fell when he ran out and was scolded by Zhang Xinghuo for a long time, which delayed him for a while before starting.

    Before the start, Shang Nan was taught a few vegetable cutting moves that could fool the camera by a photographer who knew how to cook. If Li Yan was a kitchen master, Zhang Xinghuo would definitely find a substitute, but Li Yan was not, so Shang Nan did this.It's just right to be a novice cook, because Li Yan was ordered by Meng Dong to cook. Li Yan said he didn't know how, and Meng Dong said, "Then learn."

    Shang Nan was already sweating profusely just for cooking. The finished product was barely visible and almost the same for eating. I originally expected Zhang Xinghuo to come up with props, but Zhang Xinghuo said he would get through it and asked him and Fu Wusheng to make it.Just eat this.

    After the food was put on the table, Meng Dong washed his hands in the yard before coming in. When he walked to the dining table, he didn't even look at the vegetables that Li Yan had fried. He opened the refrigerator and took out a pile of vegetables, and washed them quickly.After chopping vegetables and stir-frying, two dishes were quickly cooked. In every aspect, they overwhelmed Li Yan's two dishes whose raw materials could no longer be seen.

    The two sat down to eat.

    Shang Nan took a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, but he did not forget that he was now Li Yan. This mouthful of rice caused saliva in his mouth to secrete rapidly, and he actually felt the moisture in his eyes.

    Meng Dong brought some vegetables to Li Yan, including stir-fried meat with chili peppers and half-cooked green chili peppers wrapped in oily meat slices. Shang Nan couldn't help but look at it, stood up and threw the bowl on the ground, "Don't bring me vegetables, you're dirty.".”

    Meng Dong's hand holding the chopsticks was slightly dull, but it only took a moment or two for him to start eating again. "The price of the bowl will be deducted from your living expenses." He said it very calmly, and he did not let Li Yan go.In his eyes, whether it was Li Yan's disdain or Li Yan's anger, Quan thought he had a bad-tempered cat.But Li Yan is not a real cat, so Meng Dong will give him appropriate punishment.

    Li Yan finally broke out. He was young and had not received a perfect family education. He grew up with his father's violence. When he lost his temper, the first solution he thought of was violence.

    He turned over the table and before he started to swing his fist at Meng Dong, Meng Dong pinched his wrist and pressed his head directly on the cabinet. Repairing a car is considered a laborious job, so Meng Dong was much stronger than Li Yan and suppressed Li Yan.It's also a piece of cake.

    "You don't want to live anymore if you play tricks with me?" Meng Dong's tone was calm and non-threatening, like a glass of mellow white wine poured on Li Yan's head.

    Meng Dong didn't know how to hit him. After feeling that Li Yan was not struggling, he let go and said, "Clean up the floor." After that, he walked out of the living room, the door was open, and Li Yan stared outside blankly, tears falling.

    Shang Nan really entered into Li Yan's emotions. At the age of sixteen, he had been living with his father's countless fists. He was thrown into the house of a taciturn man like a burden. The person he was angry with was not actually Meng Dong. He wasIt was he who was angry. He was angry that he was a coward. Even if he hated his current life, he was unable to change it and was even threatened by it.

    "Okay, don't cry." Zhou Li took out a bunch of tissues and gave them to Shan Nan, "I've never seen you act so well before."

    Shang Nan: "..."

    His eyes were red and he looked like a rabbit. He was sitting on the bench waiting for lunch.

    Maybe it was because he was still crying after the performance that Fu Wusheng noticed this. When he walked towards Shangnan, he also brought a cup of yogurt.

    "Take your time." Fu Wusheng sat down next to Shang Nan, "Behave very well."

    When talking about professional matters, Fu Wusheng's tone is gentler than usual.

    "Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Fu." It is indeed a happy thing to be praised by someone like Fu Wusheng.

    Director Zhang's side became noisy, and the young people surrounded in the middle raised their heads and looked towards Shang Nan. Almost instantly, the memory of this person appeared in Shang Nan's mind - Ye Man, the one with himThe discordant actor is also the one who will play the role of the rich second generation in the next scene.

    It's just that Li Yan and this rich second generation will not interact for the time being. The rich second generation brought his girlfriend to modify the sports car. Only Meng Dong in Feicheng could modify the sports car, so he came here specially, and the modified car was accidentally used.Li Yan got in trouble, and the second-generation rich man said he wanted one of Li Yan's legs to pay for it. Meng Dong later solved the matter. When Shang Nan read the script, he thought that it was at this time that Li Yan had a change of heart towards Meng Dong.

    After Ye Man finished greetings there, he walked towards Shang Nan with his two assistants. Seeing the bright smile on his face, Shang Nan felt that Ye Man's target was more likely to be Fu Wusheng.

    Since it's not him who's looking for him, there's no need for him to deal with it.

    Shang Nan scraped the yogurt cover with a spoon, and Ye Man's voice sounded above his head. Just as he expected, Ye Man walked over and said: "Teacher Fu, I saw you over there, so I came over to say hello."

    The sun was shining brightly at one or two o'clock. When Fu Wusheng raised his head, he couldn't help but squint his eyes. His tone was similar to the tone he used when talking to Shannan, "Okay."

    Everyone is treated equally, Shannan thought, but he still said more words to himself.

    "Help me find a stool." Ye Man turned around and said to his assistant.

    His assistant immediately turned to find a stool.

    Zhou Li's whole body is full of resistance. He dislikes Ye Man even more than Shang Nan. He is too artificial, too pretentious, and too false. Shang Nan can't play with him at all. If he is not careful, he will be led into a pit by the opponent.

    Before the p-picture incident, Ye Man was a little worse than Shang Nanlai. Later, he and Shang Nan attracted traffic. He tasted the benefits and tried and tested.

    Zhou Li was disgusted with this person.

    "Shang Nan? Good afternoon to you too." Ye Man said to Shang Nan with a smile.

    Shan Nan glanced at Ye Man carelessly, narrowed his eyes and gave a smile, "Good afternoon." When he lowered his head to scrape the yogurt, his smile disappeared instantly.

    Ye Man's assistant came over with the stool in his arms. Ye Man glanced at Shannan and pointed to the position on Fu Wusheng's left hand side, "Help me put the stool next to Teacher Fu."

    Fu Wusheng was reading the script and didn't say anything about it.

    After Shang Nan felt that Ye Man had sat down, he licked the spoon. Looking at Zhou Li's irritable eyes, Zhou Li moved over and said in a very low voice: "Ye Man is trying to compete with you for Teacher Fu."

    Shan Nan also whispered: "Teacher Fu is not mine either."

    "That being said, he is just robbing him, don't you feel it?"

    "I feel it."

    Ye Man was very active. He took the script from his assistant, turned over his part, and slowly sent it to Fu Wusheng, "Mr. Fu, I want to hear your opinion on my role."

    Fu Wusheng frowned slightly when he saw that the script was full of notes, but some of them were irrelevant and a bit like trying to make up the word count. However, he didn't show it directly. He pushed Ye Man's script away from his sight, "This is your ownFor your role, other people’s opinions won’t be of much benefit to you, and may even lead you astray. It’s best to realize it on your own.”

    An unexpected answer. Shannan thought that Fu Wusheng would pick up Ye Man's words, because according to 14, Fu Wusheng was eager to give everything he had to the juniors who were open-minded and eager to learn.

    [14:14 I didn’t say it. What I said is that he is a good teacher with noble conduct and good care for his students, but only if he is a student he approves of.]

    Shang Nan: "Oh..."

    After hitting a wall, Ye Man was not discouraged. Few people in the entertainment industry are thin-skinned. He leaned on his knees and asked seriously: "Because I was reading the script last night. I think LiThe role of Bai is quite fulfilling. His parents divorced and he followed his father, who did nothing but give him money. He dated many girlfriends, but in the end he fell in love with Meng Dong. I think this transformation is amazing."

    Fu Wusheng finally gave Ye Man a formal look. When he was talking about this, his posture revealed a restrained elegance, and his indifference disappeared. "The role of Teacher Ye is just the opposite of Li Yan. It can't be said to be magical. If it isLi Yan is a maple tree that is green in spring and withered in autumn, but each has its own beauty, and the character of Teacher Ye is a pile of dead grass piled together, dry on top, rotting and full of insects on the ground."

    Ye Man's expression froze. Although Fu Wusheng spoke very objectively, he did not believe that Fu Wusheng was subjective. It was impossible for Fu Wusheng to speak for Shang Nan.

    But no one likes to hear someone describe their character as a piece of shit.

    But the person who said these words was Fu Wusheng, and Ye Man could only accept it, "Mr. Fu's analysis is right. This is exactly how I feel about Li Bei. He is really pitiful."

    Fu Wusheng said calmly, "At least I still have money."

    Ye Man's expression became even stiffer. Zhou Li, who was next to Shang Nan, grinned to the back of his head. Shang Nan nudged him to ask him to calm down.

    The two of them kept going back and forth, and finally Ye Man noticed him. Ye Man tilted his head and said, "Shang Nan, I'm very curious about the character Li Yan. Can you tell me about him?"

    Shang Nan felt that Ye Man was looking for trouble, and his tone was also that of finding fault. In the past, Shang Nan would not have been able to answer. Shang Nan was not a sharp-tongued person, otherwise he would not have repeatedly attacked Ye Man in the confrontation.Suffer and be fooled.

    But nowadays, in South China, it is not difficult to answer this kind of pediatric question. The question is, why?Why should he answer Ye Man's question?

    But it doesn’t seem appropriate to refuse directly.

    Still thinking about how to retaliate, Fu Wusheng raised his eyes again. At this time, his expression was already a little impatient, "Teacher Ye, you'd better try to figure out your role and role. For example, at least read your role correctly first."His name is Li Pi, not Li Bei."

    So heartless!

    Zhou Li bent down and pretended to fiddle with the stones on the ground, suppressing laughter until his ears turned red.

    Shang Nan twitched the corner of his mouth, and before his smile was fully revealed, Fu Wusheng's sharp eyes swept across his face. Shang Nan tightened his scalp and said immediately: "My character's name is Li Yan, Shan Shiyan, and I can read it."

    Fu Wusheng's tense face became more relaxed after seeing Shang Nan being so nervous. He even looked a little indulgent inexplicably. He didn't know where this indulgence came from, "I know."
