    Chapter 34 I’ll give you another chance to debut

    No matter what the outside world may argue, after the preparations for the actors of "Assassination" were completed, the filming began quickly. Fortunately, the filming location was not far away. Except for flying to Thailand for a few shots in the later period, there was basically nothing that required the actors to travel back and forth.

    Xi Nian has too many roles, so he studied with a martial arts instructor for nearly half a month under the guidance of the director before joining the cast. He had a foundation in his previous life, so it was not difficult to practice. As he slowly picked up his physical fitness, it was almost there.

    Chong Wenxin was really strict about filming. A few days before filming started, he basically scolded the entire crew, including Yan Du.Xi Nian didn't get scolded. His role was in the back and filming hadn't started yet. At the director's request, he moved a small bench and sat nearby to watch and learn most of the time.

    The same goes for Yang Jin, who plays opposite Xi Nian. Unlike Xi Nian who only looks at it with her eyes, her notebook is filled with acting experiences, almost as thick as a book.

    The weather was getting colder and colder. Although the studio was heated, it still made people's hands and feet numb from the cold. Xi Nian estimated that it would be his turn to appear in the next scene, so he didn't sit on the chair and got up.Walked around twice.

    Seeing this, Lu Xingzhe handed him a thermos cup: "Drink some hot water."

    Xi Nian didn't talk much during most of the time on the set. On the contrary, Lu Xingzhe became familiar with all the staff in less than three days and inquired about everything. Yang Jin couldn't help but joke.: "Xi Nian, where did you find your assistant? Recommend one to me. It's rare to find someone so considerate. It's unjustifiable not to increase my salary."

    Lu Xingzhe nodded: "That's right."

    When no one was around, Xi Nian would have flicked his head, but in front of so many people, it was hard to do anything. He just casually pressed his hat, and then Yang Jin said: "Okay., go back and give you a salary increase."

    There was an imperceptible smile in his voice, which only made people think that Xi Nian had a good temper.

    Lu Xingzhe glanced at him quietly, with dark eyes: "How much does it go up?"

    Xi Nian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, tightened his arms directly, held the two brothers in his arms, lowered his eyes and said silently: "Go back and discuss."

    He pinched Lu Xingzhe's fair earlobe with his fingertips, and saw a thin streak of red spreading rapidly before letting go and sitting back in his seat.

    Lu Xingzhe asked purely as a joke, but he didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that Xi Nian was playing hooligan, so he took off his peaked cap to cover his face. For the first time, he felt a little embarrassed. After a long time, he slowly put it on again, and then sat down at the table.Next to the year.

    As soon as Yan Du finished finishing the scene, he saw Xi Nian's charming assistant circling around him like a bee. He was busy and looked at him quietly for a long time. Then he walked over and said, "Xi Nian, Director Chong comes to see you for something."

    Some time ago, the fans of the two had a heated argument, which was more or less embarrassing. However, Yan Du acted like a normal person, smiling and being polite to everyone. His usual veteran style made it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking.What.

    Xi Nian glanced at him, and then thanked him. His face was as calm as ever. He stood up from his seat and said to Lu Xingzhe, "I'll come over."

    Lu Xingzhe nodded, but didn't say much due to the presence of others.

    Yan Du's seat was next to him. When he sat down, the assistant handed him a glass of water. It was neither lukewarm nor hot. He glanced at it but didn't take it: "It's cold, go and add some hot water."

    There was no emotion in the voice.

    The assistant was a little panicked: "Teacher Yan, I'm sorry, I just received hot water. Maybe it was too cold and I accidentally let it cool down."

    Lu Xingzhe watched from the side, thinking that the assistant was so frightened and that Yan Du was not a good person behind his back. He picked up Xi Nian's thermos cup, opened it and looked at it. Yes, it was hot, and put it back.

    Yan Du tilted his head and stared at Lu Xingzhe's delicate profile under the brim of his hat for a long time. Then he smiled with interest and took the initiative to talk to him in an approachable tone: "How long have you been working as an assistant to Xi Nian?"

    Lu Xingzhe thought it was none of your business, so he didn't look back and said in a perfunctory tone: "It won't take long."

    Yan Du continued: "You seem to be young and very careful in your work. You can teach Amin more if you have nothing to do. She has been doing this for seven or eight years and she is still not as proficient as you."

    His facial features were straight and resolute, and he was upright. Although he was not very handsome, it was easy for people to take off their guard when his eyes were smiling, but they couldn't see what was going on deep inside. At this time, he was looking straight at LuXingzhe, as if to make it easier to speak, leaned slightly towards him.

    Lu Xingzhe didn't know anything. He raised his eyebrows secretly, thinking that Yan Du was so good at this. He hadn't noticed it before, and he had hidden it quite deeply. But it would be a shame if he tried to hit him.

    Lu Xingzhe glanced at him with a playful look: "Not so good, Amin and I don't know each other very well."

    What's more important is that I don't know you well either.

    Yan Du was tickled by his beautiful eyes. Hearing this, he was about to say something when a familiar male voice suddenly sounded above his head: "What are you talking about?"

    It is Xi Nian who has gone and come back again.

    Yan Du paused after hearing this, then sat back down, smiled, and said as if nothing had happened: "I didn't say anything, I just praised your assistant for being careful and giving him a chance to take care of Amin."

    Xi Nian ignored him and just lowered his eyes to look at Lu Xingzhe. His body blocked Yan Du's gaze, and his eyes glanced at his thin coat: "Is it cold?"

    Lu Xingzhe had an inexplicable feeling of being caught for doing something bad. He used his clothes to cover it up and quietly hooked Xi Nian's fingertips. His tone sounded very doggy, and he shook his head and said, "It's not cold."

    He handed over another glass of water and said eagerly: "Would you like to drink it? It's hot."

    Xi Nian didn't answer and took a seat: "I'm not thirsty, you can drink it by yourself."

    After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned on the chair to take a nap. Lu Xingzhe always felt that something was strange and couldn't explain it, so he had to put the water glass back, touched the snacks in his pocket, and leaned on the armrest of the chair and whisperedAsk him: "Are you hungry?"

    Xi Nian didn't even open his eyes, and said in a lazy voice, "I'm not hungry."

    Well, Lu Xingzhe could only rest his mind and continue to sit with him, wondering why Xi Nian didn't speak today.

    Xi Nian opened his eyes without a trace, and saw him sitting next to him, dejected and pitiful. Just as he was about to say something, Director Chong's assistant came over to inform them that they were about to shoot the next scene, so they had to get up temporarily.leave.

    Before leaving, Xi Nian patted Lu Xingzhe on the head: "Go lie down in my place and sleep for a while."

    Stop talking casually with random people.

    Lu Xingzhe said oh, and then sat down obediently in his seat. Yang Jin saw that his head was drooping, and he couldn't help but joked: "Why are you not happy? Xi Nian scolded you?"

    But everyone on the crew knows that the two of them have a good relationship.

    Lu Xingzhe shook his head: "No, Xi Nian never curses anyone."

    Yang Jin was older than him. Looking at Lu Xingzhe, he inevitably felt like he was looking at his younger brother. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Oh, that's because he stopped talking to you just now. You are his assistant. You are so happy to talk to Yan Du.", of course he was unhappy."

    Yang Jin just raised the point purely from the perspective of a superior and subordinate. After all, Xi Nian and Yan Du are rivals. If the assistant is too close, it is easy to leak privacy, which will make everyone unhappy.

    Lu Xingzhe paused after hearing this, but as if he had figured something out, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sat up from the recliner with a splash.

    Yang Jin asked him: "What are you doing?"

    Lu Xingzhe looked very happy: "I'm going to watch Xi Nian filming."

    In TV dramas where black and white are opposites, the villain's force value is usually stronger than that of the decent ones in the early stage, otherwise they will lose their appeal. This is a scene between Xi Nian and Yan Du. Killer 19 sneaks into the safe house to assassinate the police station witness, but is discovered by the male protagonist Duan Haiyang.After a fierce fight, the two finally managed to escape by Killer 19.

    Xi Nian and Yan Du re-shot several times, but Chong Wenxin was not very satisfied. He felt that the tension displayed by the camera was not enough, so in the end they were asked to fight with real swords and guns without any false moves, and they could fight as hard as they wanted.

    Yan Du glanced at Xi Nian: "Director, I have no problem, but Xi Nian has only been practicing for half a month, and I'm afraid I'll get into an accident later."

    I just didn't mention him by name for fear of knocking Xi Nian down.

    Chong Wenxin scratched his hair irritably and was about to speak when he heard Xi Nian say: "Director, let's try it first. If it doesn't work, let's talk."

    The two male actors were fine, and Chong Wenxin was even better. Hearing this, he raised the loudspeaker and said: "Every camera is ready. Let's start again. Replace the things that were broken just now with new ones. Let's start filming!"

    Xi Nian entered the scene very quickly, his eyes turned cold in an instant, and with boundless cruelty, his fists and kicks directly hit Yan Du's face with full force. The latter hurriedly turned sideways to avoid, but he was knocked over by a sweep of his legs.land.

    Xi Nian is a killer, and anything around him can become a weapon in his hands. During the fight, he quickly pulled off his tie, and then strangled Yan Du's neck with his backhand, directly restraining the other party's movements.

    The first few strikes were all fake blows. Xi Nian did not use all his strength. He was caught off guard and hit with such ferocity that Yan Du did not expect. He protected his throat with one hand and counterattacked Xi Nian with the other. When the opponent was relaxed, he rolled to the ground to escape.Then, as the script said, he touched the gun in the corner and pointed it directly at him and fired three shots.

    Xi Nian rolled on the spot and dodged, then kicked the chair next to him to disrupt his line of sight. He grabbed the prop wine bottle on the table and hit Yan Du on the back of the head. He locked his hand behind his back and kicked it three or two times.The gun was snatched over, and a series of movements were dizzying and beautiful.

    Acting according to the script, there are no bullets in the gun. The male protagonist Duan Haiyang pulls out the military dagger hidden on his body and stabs Killer 19 directly into the chest. The latter is defeated, injured and jumps out of the window to escape.

    This scene was performed in almost one shot. Chong Wenxin was very satisfied and asked them to add some detailed shots, and then said: "Xi Nian takes a rest and is ready to continue filming the next scene."

    They were all more or less injured, and the pain could not be faked. Killer 19 would then hide in a residential house, maintaining this injured and dying state to film a scene.

    Xi Nian had no objection, patted the dust off his body, and then took a rest. Yan Du got up with the help of the staff, and couldn't help but gasped because of the pain. He just felt that Xi Nian was so damn cruel.

    Lu Xingzhe was originally watching from the side, but when he saw Xi Nian receiving several punches from Yan Du one after another, he stopped looking and hid alone.

    Xi Nian removed the fake blood bag that had not drained cleanly from his body and searched for him for a long time before finding him. In the end, he saw Lu Xingzhe sitting alone in the corner of the stairs smoking, with a pile of cigarette butts at his feet. He looked behind him quietly for a long time, and then walked over to get it.Dropping the cigarette from his mouth: "Didn't you quit?"

    When Lu Xingzhe heard his voice, he turned around subconsciously, paused for a moment on Xi Nian's blood-stained clothes, and then asked blankly: "Is the filming finished?"

    Xi Nian took a puff of his cigarette and put it out: "Well, the filming is done."

    Lu Xingzhe looked at the bruises on Xi Nian's arms, then patted his pants and stood up: "I bought anti-swelling medicine. Let's go and find a place to apply some on you."

    Next to it was the utility room. Xi Nian didn't listen and just pulled him in, closing the door behind him. It was pitch dark. Just as Lu Xingzhe was about to speak, his lips suddenly felt warm and familiar.breath.

    Xi Nian was busy during filming, and when he came back he was so tired that he basically fell asleep, and the two of them didn't do much.

    Lu Xingzhe paused, then put his arms around his neck and responded gently. In the dim environment, Xi Nian found that his eyes were a little red, and rubbed his cheek with his fingertips for a moment, then asked: "Why are you running away alone?smokes."

    Lu Xingzhe was greedy for his scent. He hugged Xi Nian and kissed her for a while before saying, "I won't smoke anymore."

    He felt uncomfortable just seeing Xi Nian being beaten.

    Xi Nian seemed to know what he was thinking: "I don't feel pain, it's others who should feel pain."

    For example, Yandu.

    Lu Xingzhe said disdainfully: "His pain is none of my business."

    Xi Nian smiled: "Well, it's none of your business, so don't talk to him next time."

    Lu Xingzhe also wanted to apply medicine on him, but Xi Nian refused: "Go back to the hotel and apply it again. I have to film the next scene. It's not good to be out for too long. Just stop watching and find a place to sit and wait for me."

    Lu Xingzhe remembered that Xi Nian had to shoot a love story with Yang Jin in the next scene, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

    I can't watch it, it turns into lemon essence.

    Xi Nian quickly returned to the set. Yang Jin and others were ready. The makeup artist came forward to touch up Xi Nian's makeup and put a blood bag on his body. It was as miserable as it could be.

    Director Chong was guiding him: "You can hide in this room later. When your stepfather opens the door, you wipe his neck directly and then you find Yang Jin."

    Xi Nian nodded, indicating that he understood, and Chong Wenxin signaled to start filming.

    For the convenience of lighting, the shooting location was temporarily set up, but it was also so fake that it looked real. Xi Nian covered his wound and staggered along the old and dirty corridor. Blood dripped to the ground and was touched by him again.Wipe it away with something.

    He couldn't walk anymore and leaned against the wall to take a breath. His whole body was weak, but his eyes were as bloodthirsty as ever. He pulled out the sharp knife in his pocket and knocked on a door next to him expressionlessly.

    Knocked twice, no one answered.

    Xi Nian's expression remained unchanged and he continued to knock. There was a sound of cursing inside. The door was finally opened. The owner of the house was a short and fat man. He was about to curse when his neck felt cold and before he could react, he was cut off.Throat.

    Xi Nian ducked into the house, locked the door, covered the man's mouth, stabbed him in the heart again, and then threw the warm body aside.

    Xi Nian's ears moved, but he didn't hear any movement inside. It was quiet. He thought there was no one inside, but when he went in, he found a girl lying on the bed.

    Her hands were tied with hemp rope and tied to the head of the bed. Most of her white nightdress was torn and covered with bruises. It was not difficult to guess what she had just suffered, but this was not something the killer should consider.

    Xi Nian raised the knife and met Yang Jin's dark eyes. He didn't know why but put it down again. Maybe he felt that this girl was not threatening.

    Xi Nian hid the knife in his sleeve again.He turned around and saw several glasses of water on the table. He took them over and smelled them. Then he drank them all in three or two gulps. After doing all this, he opened the refrigerator again. There was half-eaten frozen lunch meat and half a plate inside.Leftovers, a small bowl of cold rice.

    Xi Nian didn't even look at it, he just picked it up and ate it, like a ruthlessly eating beast. The frozen lunch meat was half-cooked, but he didn't care. He went down the food without swallowing it. His cheeks were bulging and his face was expressionless.The speed replenishes physical fitness.

    The staff who were watching around him probably didn't expect that he could do this, and they were secretly stunned.

    Yang Jin had been lying on the bed, motionless. He was still breathing, but more like a corpse. After Xi Nian finished eating, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a family photo on the bedside table. Afterwards, he realized what he had just done.The short, fat man is her father.

    He covered the wound and walked step by step to the bedside. The wound was still bleeding out. He looked at the girl's exposed white body, and then stretched out his hand.

    He held the knife in his palm, but he pulled up the girl's clothes, removed the cloth stuffed in her mouth, and at the same time held it against her throat——

    If Yang Jin screams, Xi Nian will kill her.

    But the girl didn't. She showed no reaction from beginning to end and looked dazed. So Xi Nian stepped back step by step, sat down on the floor against the wall, and began to treat the wound.

    Chong Wenxin shouted "Ka", and everyone came to their senses and stepped forward to hand Yang Jin clothes. Xi Nian also stood up from the ground, ready to wash away the sticky blood on his body, and casually went to the bathroom to vomit everything he had just eaten.come out.

    After all, Lu Xingzhe watched the whole process from the side. He heard the sound of vomiting coming from the bathroom, walked to the water dispenser and got a cup of hot water, then quietly leaned against the door and waited for Xi Nian to come out. He turned on his phone and looked at the latest news., it turned out that Yan Du had issued a lot of press releases, boasting about his professionalism and acting skills, and everything else. There were even many fans who were trying to support Xi Nian.

    His fingertips moved slightly, wanting to do something, but he held back.

    Maybe now is not the time.

    Lu Xingzhe thought, let them brag. Yan Du will fall as hard as he will when it is shown on TV.

    Anyone who is not blind can see that the role played by Xi Nian is no less stunning than the male protagonist.

    Xi Nian came out of the bathroom after a long time. His eyes were a little red due to congestion. Lu Xingzhe tested the temperature of the water and handed it to him: "Drink a little."

    There was no one else around, so Xi Nian took the water glass and rubbed his head.

    Lu Xingzhe deliberately teased him and handed him his phone to look at: "Your fans have left you a message."

    Xi Nian took it and took a look, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably. It turned out that fans knew that his supporting role would still receive a box lunch in the end, and they were already thinking about whether to support him anymore, so they rushed to the Weibo comment area to leave messages., the contents are all similar.

    Fan: "Husband, when you receive the lunch box this time, we will give you a 6 and give you another chance to debut!! Love you for ten thousand years!!"

    Xi Nian paused, then responded in person with two words——

    "Need not."
