Yuan Hao looked at Luo Yuanxiao and took a deep breath.

Yuan Xiao explained embarrassedly, "Philip is my friend, it's just a gift for me."

Yuan Hao glanced at him, then looked at the handsome guy with Daytona, and he didn't know who to believe. He also played the watch himself, but he was a junior player, and he had only heard of Paul Newman Daytona. But this also shows that Luo Yuanxiao is not as ordinary as it seems on the surface.

Although he is a student majoring in film recording, it is the first time for Yuan Xiao to watch the filming of the crew. He has seen a film directed by Yuan Hao before. story.

He stood behind the director, looking through the viewfinder. In a scene that is being filmed now, the male and female protagonists are in conflict. The female protagonist returns everything that the male protagonist gave back, because she believes that the values ​​of the two are different and they are not people of the same world.

The male protagonist was not reconciled. After the emotional explosion, he sincerely confessed to the female protagonist, and then drove away, but both of them regretted it.

Yuan Xiao watched them filming this scene from the side. The male protagonist may be too emotional, and when he roared, he spat the female protagonist with saliva.

"Ka" Yuan Hao said, "Bai Yan, you are not Ma Jingtao, pay attention to your emotions."

The hostess went to the side to touch up the makeup.

This scene was repeated over and over a dozen times, but Yuan Xiao couldn't get any inspiration at all. Maybe because he was filming, he was just a bystander and couldn't understand the complicated feelings of the hero and heroine in the story.

Then another scene was filmed. It was already 6:30 in the afternoon. Yuan Hao said, "Have an hour and a half break, everyone will eat, and then film the next scene. Attention, the next scene is the main scene, so cheer me up."

Yuan Xiao happened to be hungry too, so Yuan Hao invited him to eat together. Originally, the crew used a unified lunch box, but because they were filming abroad, the meal specifications were improved, and they were all delivered by restaurants.

After eating, Yuan Hao went to talk to the actors. Lantern was in the carriage, listening to the song with headphones on, holding a pen and paper, and scribbled some notes on the staff.

As night fell, the first encounter was about to start filming, so Yuan Xiao got out of the car.

At this time, the field manager suddenly came to Yuan Hao's ear and said something.

Yuan Hao frowned, "If there is a temporary show, it won't come if it doesn't come."

The field manager "I can't say it, it's just that" his face became bitter, "It's just that it might be very late"

Yuan Hao suppressed his anger, "When will it come?"

"It will take four or five hours, it seems" the field manager sweated down.

Yuan Hao was expressionless, "Let him get out."

"There are so many models in Milan, it's not easy to find a male model," he said, and gestured to take a photo later.

Ten minutes later, the yard manager came back from the phone, sweating profusely, and said, "We have contacted two people. One is stuck in traffic. It takes an hour to come here, and the other seems to be nearby."

"Wait a while then."

Yuan Xiao asked the assistant director, "What's the matter?"

"One of the actors didn't come. Today's scene is the reunion of the hero and heroine." The assistant director explained the scene, "The heroine accompanied her boss to a Christmas reception. At the reception, a person who knew the heroine met the heroine. When the male model saw her drunk, he took the initiative to send her home, entangled her for a while, and was seen by the male protagonist.

Yuan Xiao complained in his heart how bloody the plot was.

After waiting for 20 minutes, Yuan Hao exhausted his patience and cursed a few times on the set. Just as he was about to say no to filming, he suddenly saw the young gentleman who was drinking coffee not far away.

A handsome guy who looks like a combination of Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, who does not lose the figure, face and temperament of a male model.

"Little Luo"

Yuan Xiao turned his head, Yuan Hao had already walked over, and said, "Shave Philip, can you lend me Philip to use?"

Yuan Xiao was stunned for a moment, Yuan Hao said, "You know the situation, we are temporarily short of an actor. I think Philip is very suitable. He doesn't even need to change his clothes. I don't know if he can make a cameo appearance." He thought about how much he should pay, but The other party is a super rich second generation of Daytona, I am afraid that no matter how much he gives, people will not look down on him.

Yuan Hao "Ask him if he wants to"

Yuan Xiao relayed what Director Yuan meant. It was obviously the first time that Philip had encountered such a thing. He was a little surprised, and then said, "I'd be happy to help, but Mr. Royce will arrive in Milan soon, if I don't get there on time. Pick him up, he won't be happy."

"Hey is he coming?"

Philip "I'm afraid he's already on the plane."

Yuan Xiao glanced at Yuan Hao who was very anxious again, and finally said, "Philip, I will call him to explain the situation, thank you for your help."

Philip bent like a medieval knight. "I'll be happy to help you."

Yuan Hao's gaze involuntarily glanced at Yuan Xiao, who seemed to be ordinary.

"This scene is very simple. If the number of ngs is small, it can be over in an hour." Director Yuan said to Philip.

Yuan Xiao found a quiet place under a bypass light, called Bai Wenlin and said, "Philip was dragged by the crew director to make a cameo appearance, Wenlin, he can't come to pick you up, but I can call A car is coming to pick you up. Are you on the plane now?"

"Get on the plane immediately." Bai Wenlin glanced at the time, "I'll be there in about two hours, so I don't need to pick me up. Where is the crew filming?"

"Near St. Mary's Abbey."

Bai Wenlin responded, and Yuan Xiao asked again, "Have you finished the rehearsal, why did you suddenly come over?"

"Today is Christmas Eve."

Yuan Xiao thought he meant that because of Christmas Eve, the orchestra would not rehearse.

The phone hung up, Yuan Xiao stood aside and watched the filming for a while. Philip plays a playboy, he is somewhat German, very gentleman, tall and handsome, the scene where the heroine fell in his arms countless times, and every time he finished, he blushed and apologized, which made people doubt her. Is it intentional.

Director Yuan got angry, and whispered to the assistant director if she was too crazy, "I went back to the movie, I don't know if I thought we invited Pete to make a cameo." He laughed twice, but quickly, He couldn't laugh anymore, because the male lead looked very weak in front of Philip. Although he was not much shorter, it was obvious that Philip was more like the domineering president.

A hero saves the beauty, plus a face-slap scene, but it can't get the feeling that Director Yuan wants.

At the same time, Yuan Xiao did not find that kind of "love" feeling during the shooting process. When he saw that it would take a while to shoot, he simply stopped watching and walked down the street, wanting to pick a Christmas present for Bai Wenlin.

I didn't wander for too long, bought apples in the supermarket, and walked back in more than 20 minutes. When he returned, the crew was still filming, but because of the frequent occurrence of male and female protagonists, Yuan Hao directly divided one scene into two, so as not to waste Phyllis's time.

Yuan Xiao watched the filming seriously, and at the same time pondered in his heart, what kind of music should be accompanied by such a scene where the first love suddenly met in a foreign country after many years.

He couldn't figure it out at first, so he found a lot of music material, and used caiffa's key and chord to make an arrangement, but he just changed it, but he couldn't find the way, and his thinking became more and more dry.

He is getting more and more confused now.

Yuan Xiao sat for a while, the night wind made him a little cold, and he was about to go back to the car to get a scarf. When he turned around, he saw a man standing in front of the Christmas tree outside the restaurant not far away.

On Christmas Eve, the whole of Milan was lit up and filled with a strong sense of humanity. There were wandering singers everywhere on the street. There was one behind Bai Wenlin, holding the organ and playing jge bes affectionately.

But Bai Wenlin seemed to have an invisible barrier around him, and it was difficult for him to blend into the warm atmosphere of the festival. Standing alone, wearing a black coat, he was all alone, with a cool tone.

As soon as Yuan Xiao saw him, he found that his eyes were on him, watching silently. Yuan Xiao sat up slightly, waved at him, and was about to go over when Bai Wenlin strode over.

At this time, the crew suddenly heard a sound, and the scene that turned out to be Philip was finally filmed.

Yuan Xiao turned his head and saw Director Yuan shook Philip's hand vigorously, and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Philip, it's a pity that you don't want to act and become a big star. Would you like to come to the entertainment industry to develop?" His heart was hot, When the trailer is released, there will definitely be viewers who will mistakenly think that they have invited a certain Hollywood celebrity to make a cameo.

Philip declined his kindness, "I already have a good job and a good boss." At this moment, he suddenly looked up and saw Bai Wenlin, "Sorry, I have to leave, my boss is here. already."

Yuan Hao followed his gaze.

Yuan Xiao didn't notice that Bai Wenlin had already walked, and his neck suddenly felt warm. Looking down, it was a black scarf, with a faint smell of cigars, and a very sweet and strange vanilla smell.

Looking up, it was Bai Wenlin's drooping handsome face, staring at him.

Bai Wenlin's warm fingers touched his hair, and finally the fingertips landed on his ear, which was Yuan Xiao's left ear wearing a hearing aid.

Yuan Xiao maintained that head posture, "How long have you been standing there why didn't you call me?"

"A few minutes." Bai Wenlin put down one hand, took his palm, and pulled him up, "Let's go home."

"Where to go?" Yuan Xiao stood up and looked back. It was Philip who ran over, and Director Yuan's stunned face didn't know if he recognized Royce.

Yuan Xiao hurriedly squeezed his hand, "It's over, Director Yuan must know you, get in the car first, and I'll tell him a few words." Bai Wenlin was about to turn his head when Yuan Xiao pushed him away, "Don't look back. , don't look at him, what if he really recognizes you?"

Bai Wenlin obediently was pushed into the car by him.

Yuan Xiao ran to talk to Director Yuan, and Director Yuan asked, "I'm not mistaken, why is that person a bit like the one who gave you the scarf, he looks like Albert Royce." He glanced at the car, Seeing Philip open the truck door and sit in the driver's seat, he glanced at Luo Yuanxiao in front of him.

Yuan Xiao is the worst at lying, he hahaha a few times, "It's very similar, they are all star faces."

"Isn't it Royce?"

Yuan Xiao said no.

Director Yuan was still a little skeptical, so Yuan Xiao quickly changed the subject, "Director Yuan, I have to think about the episode again, do you have a dead end?"

"The crew will finish the production before the Spring Festival, and start editing after the festival. It will take September or October for the release. Before April, give me a new deo." Director Yuan showed a kind of "I trust you very much, don't let me down" with an expression on his face, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Why not cooperate with William?"

Yuan Xiao paused before saying, "He's a little busy"

Director Yuan felt that there was a drama, and immediately said, "Xiao Luo, discuss it, our crew spends money to ask him if he can make an appointment, what kind of god is he?"

"He might!" Yuan Xiao was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"That's it," Yuan Dao gritted his teeth, "one hundred thousand yuan a song, ask him if it's possible"

Yuan Xiao scratched his head, "I'm afraid he won't be willing"

Yuan Dao said in pain, "How about 120,000 to 150,000?" Does a song cost 500,000 yuan?

Yuan Xiao didn't make a sound, and said in his heart that you will give him the salary of the male and female protagonists together, and he will not come to compose for Guangnian.

"I'll ask him, but Director Yuan, 99% of him won't be willing. Don't hold out your hopes."

If you were someone else, you should have been angry for this. A director is willing to pay a high price to ask you for help to speak to others, but he is unwilling to use your work. The difference in treatment can be imagined. But for Yuan Xiao, he knows very well how powerful Bai Wenlin is. Even if he is anonymous, he will be discovered, so Yuan Xiao is not only uncomfortable at all, he is even very proud.

Director Yuan reluctantly said, "Okay then." After speaking, he also praised Yuan Xiao for a few words, hoping that he would work hard.

Yuan Xiao gave him an apple and said Merry Christmas.

When he got in the car, Yuan Xiao told him about it, Bai Wenlin really wasn't interested, saying that the director had no vision, "Why doesn't he use yours?"

"Maybe it's not good enough." Yuan Xiao said, "I will make a good change." He changed the topic "Where are we going now?"

"It's almost there," he said.

Yuan Xiao found that the car got more and more remote as it drove.

After arriving, Yuan Xiao discovered that it was a villa by the lake, tall and magnificent, with bright lights reflecting on the lake.

"here it is"

Bai Wenlin said, "Lake Como."

In the 17th century, the German princess Caroline bought this villa for expansion. Over the centuries, the villa has been renovated many times and gradually became a manor. The owner has changed a lot and even Napoleon came to live here at first.

The Royce family bought the house in the nineteenth century.

When getting off the bus, Yuan Xiao took out an apple from the kraft paper bag and gave Philip "Merry Christmas."

Bai Wenlin glanced at Philip.

Philip took it under great pressure.

Philip drove away, and Yuan Xiao followed Bai Wenlin. Under the porch, Bai Wenlin suddenly stopped and looked up slightly at the old door top, where the mistletoe garland was hanging, intertwined with red and green, strung with golden bells and dark brown pine cones.

"Yuan Xiao," Bai Wenlin called his name, "Did you know that on Christmas Eve, two people under the mistletoe could be together forever if they kissed."

Yuan Xiao also looked up at the garland woven by mistletoe hanging on the porch. "I seem to have heard of it." He vaguely remembered that he had seen such a custom in Harry Potter.

Bai Wenlin's voice was lower, "Can I kiss you?"

Yuan Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then turned his face to the side, "Isn't this custom only for couples?"

"Yes." Bai Wenlin lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Entering the door, Yuan Xiao found that it was more appropriate to say that the villa was a residence rather than a museum. He was a half-hearted art lover. He recognized that there were oil paintings of characters by Francisco Hayez on the wall, and the one on the corner stood. The sculpture does not seem to be extraordinary, much like the work of Antonio Canova.

Yuan Xiao climbed the stairs all the way in surprise, during which Bai Wenlin didn't speak.

With hindsight, he realized that the atmosphere wasn't quite right. After changing his pajamas and sitting on the bed, Bai Wenlin helped him close the window, "It's cooling down outside, and it might snow tomorrow." After that, he planned to go out. The villa was huge and there were many rooms, so Bai Wenlin didn't find a reason to talk to him. sleep together.

Before he went out, Yuan Xiao stopped him and brought him a bright red apple with a small white greeting card tied to the apple's handle.

"I wanted to buy you a Christmas present, and I took a look around. It seems that you have everything." If it was Bai Wenlin in the past, Yuan Xiao would know what to give, but now this Yuan Xiao can't think of what he would need. .

Bai Wenlin lowered his head and glanced at it. He opened the small card and wrote a poem by Byron, which he liked very much in the past.

Yuan Xiao was probably a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and didn't speak.

"I don't have everything," Bai Wenlin suddenly changed his mind. He leaned over to look at Yuan Xiao, "Can I sleep here at night?"

"here"

Bai Wenlin said calmly, "This house has been around for centuries. Many great people have lived there, but they all died. Some of them still died here. I don't trust you to live in a room by yourself."

Yuanxiao ""

Leaving a lamp, Yuan Xiao was lying on the Italian-style ancient bed, looking at the gorgeous chandelier that was extinguished, and the tiny rays of light circulated in the moonlight.

Bai Wenlin turned to face him, "I also have a gift for you."

Yuan Xiao turned his head.

"Santa Claus will help me bring presents to you tomorrow morning."

Yuan Xiao just laughed, Bai Wenlin raised his hand and walked over his eyebrows and whispered, "Go to sleep."

Bai Wenlin remembered that Yuan Xiao told himself the story of Santa Rudolph, but when Yuan Xiao told the story, he regarded him as Al.

The next morning, Yuan Xiao woke up and saw that the silk curtains were slightly opened, and there was fine snow drifting outside the window in the gap. It doesn't often snow in Milan in December, but it does snow, and it's finely broken.

Lying on the pillow, he turned his head to see Bai Wenlin sitting on the couch by the window. He was wearing dark green satin pajamas, his hair was slightly messy, and he was stepping on the carpet with his bare feet, nibbling on a bright apple.

That was last night, Yuan Xiao gave it to Bai Wenlin, but Bai Wenlin said he would save it for tomorrow.

Seeing that Yuan Xiao was awake, he stopped and put the half-eaten apple beside him.

Yuan Xiao hadn't woken up yet, looked at him for a while, and after looking at him for a few seconds, he realized that this should be Al.

Al ate Wen Lin's apple.

Yuan Xiao sat up.

Al didn't move, just sat and looked at him like that, the sun shone on his deep profile face, his eyes seemed to have traveled light years and fell on him.

Yuan Xiao felt something was wrong.

Why does Al look different today?

Yuan Xiao didn't think about it, because Al used to be like this all the time, and he always understood that it was because of schizophrenia.

Lifting the quilt, Yuan Xiao bent over to look for slippers, but suddenly heard Al's hoarse voice saying, "You're back."

He paused.
