"Oh, it seems that you really remember me, and you can still joke. I remember that you don't talk much at all. Jiang Xiao, you have changed!"
After hearing his name, although Yu Mingjia still didn't quite understand why the other party hesitated so much before, it was obvious that Jiang Xiao did not recognize her.
Maybe there is a possibility that this person didn't expect that she would take the initiative to say hello?
For a moment, she continued to realize that she didn't seem to know much about Jiang Xiao. She only had the impression of a classmate who didn't like to talk.
She even felt that it was precisely because she heard that the other person had been filming Gu Changwei's movie that she subconsciously took the initiative to say hello when she saw him.
Even if you don't have any subjective purpose, subconsciously, there must be the intention to get closer to you?
"Human beings will always change when they grow up."
Jiang Xiao shrugged lightly and found an excuse to excuse his classmates.
"Oh, with this tone, does this mean you have a girlfriend?"
Yu Mingjia almost blurted out. He didn't know what was in his mind at that moment, but he said these words, and he couldn't take them back even if he wanted to.
"Age, age grows, thoughts grow, so people change."
If he was thinking like an adult, Jiang Xiao completely understood the pronunciation of Yu Mingjia's words.
"Ha, yes, that's right. Let's go to the classroom together first. It's almost time."
He was not that familiar at all, but when he said this... it was obvious that Jiang Xiao understood, so Yu Mingjia, who was a little embarrassed, had no choice but to change the topic.
"good."
Jiang Xiao, who was naturally self-possessed, immediately nodded, and immediately went to the classroom with Yu Mingjia.
In this way, he soon arrived in the classroom, and he was greeted by unfamiliar faces, which made people feel a little surprised.
No matter what, Jiang Xiao went straight to the back of the classroom and found an empty seat to sit down in the eyes of many students in the class.
Then there happened to be a young lady on the right who looked familiar, and the two of them nodded to each other.
At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly, trying to remember who this classmate who seemed to be related to Gao Yuanyuan was.
Needless to say, at a certain moment, he actually remembered that the other party's name should be Gao Lu, right?
There will be a very popular drama in the future. In "Everything is Good" starring Yao Chen, Su Daqiang, uh, no, Ni Dahong, Guo Jinfei and others, the classmate in front of me seems to play the role of the eldest daughter-in-law in the drama.
Jiang Xiao has actually never watched the drama "Everything Is Good", but Su Daqiang, who is a man of nature and death, is so capable that he actually became the most popular character in the whole drama. His popularity is not as high as usual, and everyone is attracted by it.
People who have watched the show will also passively learn about such a show.
But when he remembered, he didn't want to get to know each other, but after seeing these "strange" classmates, he suddenly sighed in his heart, as if he was in another world.
…………
After a busy week at the end of the semester, Jiang Xiao returned to work on July 5th and continued to devote himself to the filming of "Peacock".
Then, it was still the familiar filming, waiting for the rhythm of the filming, and looking for the fun of filming amidst the boredom.
Then he made reasonable use of his spare time and gradually improved his English to the point where he could become a "world tourist".
In this way, around the end of the month, the whole movie finally ushered in the final scene, and even Jiang Yiyan appeared on the set again.
The other party only had one scene in the film, which is probably why director Gu Changwei deliberately arranged the filming announcement at the end.
The plot of this scene is roughly the scene in which Gao Weiqiang, played by him, brings his wife home and then the family has dinner together in the morning.
During this period, the daughter-in-law played by Jiang Yiyan also lit a cigarette and handed it to him to smoke in front of the whole family.
It is intended to show an experience and microcosm of Gao Weiqiang's life after he was kicked out of the house by his father because of that painting.
The ending of the movie "Peacock" is very interesting. His brother Gao Weiguo walked with his wife and children outside the zoo, wanting to see the peacock open its tail, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see it, and finally left.
Along with her sister Gao Weihong and her husband and children, and his brother Gao Weiqiang and his wife and son, they also passed by the zoo and wanted to see the peacocks open their tails, but they didn't wait until that moment.
When the next pair of passers-by just passed by, the peacock suddenly opened its tail. It never got what it wanted, and it came quietly when it didn't want it.
The main theme of this movie is actually to express that people of that era did not catch up with the good times.
But how do you say this? Who can catch up with the good times?
For example, the ridicule of those born in the 1980s, when we went to college, elementary school started to pay for free. When we were not looking for a job, the work was assigned. When we looked for a job, we were so crowded that we could barely find one.
A job, etc., etc., it doesn’t really cost too much.
So, in line with the previous sentence, who can catch up with the good times?
The peacock does open its tail, but most of the time, what faces us is not its beautiful wings, but its unsightly pup.
This is reality, a reality that everyone has.
Let’s go back to the last scene. After passing fifteen points, it was considered completely passed.
Jiang Xiao said he was a little sorry for this, because the mistakes were all his fault.
But it's not that he can't act well or that the scene is not difficult. The main reason is that he is a little allergic to the smell of cigarettes. He chokes whenever he smokes. There is really nothing he can do about it.
No matter what, I finally overcame it, and "Peacock" can be considered officially finished.
The reason why I added the word "sort of" here is mainly because the shot of the peacock opening its tail has not been filmed yet.
After all, animals cannot understand human speech. If you say "peacock, please open its tail", the peacock will open its tail obediently.
Moreover, peacocks rarely open their tails. They only open their tails when they are courting or defending in danger.
Therefore, if you want to take a picture of a peacock opening its tail naturally, there is only one word: wait, and then try your luck.
Fortunately, this "trying one's luck" has nothing to do with Jiang Xiao and other actors. It's better to let director Gu Changwei worry about it himself.
…………
That night, there was bound to be a closing banquet. Fortunately, after nearly three months of shooting, I had to give it a good treat.
"Jiang Xiao, let's have a drink?"
"OK!"
During the dinner, Jiang Yiyan, who was sitting on his right, picked up a wine glass and wanted to drink with him. Jiang Xiao naturally would not refuse.
It felt like the young lady seemed to be more relaxed than him, as if nothing happened that night in Linzhou, at least on the surface there was nothing unusual.
In this regard, he was actually relieved. In this way, the two of them could be considered to have the intention that neither of them would be responsible for the other?
"Jiang Xiao, and I, after having a drink with your wife, I also want to have a drink with my sister!"
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Jingchu, who chose to sit on the right side of Jiang Yiyan, also picked up a glass of wine and joined in the fun at this time, and her words were a bit funny.
"No problem, come on, sister."
It has to be said that Jiang Xiao felt a little weird at this moment, but naturally he couldn't show anything unusual at this time, so he could only clink glasses with Zhang Jingchu.
Chapter completed!
