Chapter 227: The Horse is Out, the Filming of the Promotional Video is in Progress
Suddenly, bursts of joyful laughter were heard coming from the newly decorated room.
When he was puzzled and was about to open the door to find out what was going on, Yao Qian suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Yao Qian shook her head at him, looking in a good mood, and walked away with Lu Daliaobao.
inside the house.
It was unknown how much time had passed before the excited Jing Xian stopped his childish spinning behavior. The two hugged each other, feeling each other's breath, and the time was rare and quiet.
"How do you know that I meant that..." Lu Rong felt secretly excited in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She pointed at the man's chest in confusion.
"I was just guessing, and this is a good opportunity. I'm just scared." Jing Xian said sullenly with his eyes closed.
afraid?
Lu Rong looked at him in astonishment, meeting Jing Xian's calm yet somewhat fearful eyes, and asked, "Did you remember something?"
He opened his eyes slightly and tentatively took Jing Xian's hand: "Your Majesty?"
Jing Xian reacted, his pupils shrank, and he quickly shook his hand back, his whole body stiff: "Jin Shu?!"
……
A long silence stretched between the two. The young couple, who had just come together, were stunned by the amount of information contained in these four short words.
Jinshu was Lu Rong's courtesy name in his first life, and it was bestowed upon him by Emperor Jingnian himself when he came of age.
In ancient times, the emperor's action was not just a simple gift of words, but actually an intimate and solemn way to incorporate the subject into the royal honor system.
Lu Rong had never heard anyone call him this name since his first life, so how did Jing Xian know it? Unless...
"You remember everything?" x2
"Still haven't forgotten?" x2
"..." x2
At this time, the unnecessary tacit understanding between the two was fully demonstrated.
Fearing that the other party would blurt out "You speak first", they were silent for a while, and this time Jing Xian spoke first.
Now that he's been exposed, he unexpectedly learns that his white moonlight, whom he's secretly in love with for several lifetimes, also has his memories.
Jing Xian no longer concealed anything and told Lu Rong all the interpretations and dreams he had drawn without reservation.
After saying this, Jing Xian felt a secret nervousness in his heart as he looked at Lu Rong who was standing there in shock.
Although he still has the memories of his previous two lives, they were only awakened slowly not long ago.
The dominant consciousness is still the current self, and both the personality and thinking mode will remain in the current format and will not change much.
But Rongrong is different. Thinking of the memories of Lu Rong and Meiqiu who had suddenly transformed and successfully lost weight, Jing Xian knew what was going on.
He was afraid that Lu Rong liked Feng Jin more. Even though they were both him and it was a bit crazy to be jealous of him, he unexpectedly cared about this point.
Compared to Jing Xian's strange feeling of jealousy, Lu Rong was truly shocked.
He always thought that he and Jing Xian met by chance. Since his first life did not lead to a happy ending, God gave him two or even a third chance to start over.
But suddenly someone told him that everything had a traceable path!
Lu Rong didn't expect Jing Xian to have such a deep obsession. The young emperor died of worry at the age of 32. Meiqiu only lived for years and did not have a good end. He lost his breath forever in an illness.
After that, Lu Rong never kept a cat again because he was afraid of experiencing loss again.
To him, Coal Ball is not just a cat, but an indispensable family member. The man and the cat, who have just arrived in modern society, often snuggle together, lick each other's wounds, and depend on each other for survival.
Lu Rong had always thought that Meiqiu was very smart and could understand what he said. It turned out that these were not illusions...
His heart ached, and after blinking a few times, he couldn't hold back his tears.
When Jing Xian saw Rongrong crying, all his thoughts disappeared instantly. He hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and kept comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay..."
Lu Rong whined, "I am happy."
Jing Xian replied perfunctorily: "Oh, yes, yes, wipe here too."
Lu Rong: “…”
The young man burst into laughter. No matter what, it was a great thing to be able to meet again.
He stood on tiptoe under Jing Xian's worried gaze, and the kiss was fleeting, leaving only a little warmth at the corner of his lips.
Before Jing Xian could come back to his senses, Lu Rong opened the door, turned around with a blush on her face, and waved at him with her back embarrassedly, indicating that she was going to help Yao's mother cook.
Jing Xian stood there in a daze, his left hand unconsciously touching the corner of his mouth, revealing an uncontrollable worthless expression.
In the end, Lu Rong's meal was not prepared. Jing Xian waved his hand and invited the whole family to have dinner at the most famous restaurant in the city center to commemorate the award.
At the dinner table, only the two parties involved and Yao Qian knew the truth, while the others actually thought it was just a celebration.
On this day, fans who were still in the midst of the party carefully discovered that their cat’s WeChat social profile picture had turned into a black cat with purple eyes.
Among the huge number of followers, an inconspicuous account almost simultaneously changed its profile picture to a ball of yarn that had fallen offline, with a small dent on the top of its head caused by a pure black claw.
It was also at this time that Lu Rong found out that in addition to the 'rich woman' account that was previously exposed to send out red envelopes every day, Jing Xian also had a small account that was placed in the large fan group.
As for how many such trumpets Jing Xian has, I'm afraid only Jing Xian himself knows.
The new couple had not been together for a few days when the forgotten director Feng came to their door.
Lu Rong then remembered that he seemed to have a figure skating promotional video that had not been filmed yet.
Speaking of this promotional video, it is actually a feature-length sports short film, which is based on famous sports events or sports figures in history.
Recreate the legendary career of a famous figure skater in the 20th century by restoring the competition scene at that time, including the atmosphere of the stadium, the cheers of the audience, the strength of the opponents and other details.
The audience will feel as if they have traveled back to that exciting era and feel the shock of the figure skating legend.
The reason why Director Feng came this time was very simple. After about seven or eight months, all the Costumes used in the promotional video were completed.
The materials and workmanship are strictly in accordance with the seasonal specifications. There is even a highly complex design that takes about five months to complete.
In addition to getting the costumes in place, the choreography for both the short program and free skating is a big undertaking.
When they first invited Lu Rong, although the higher-ups attached great importance to the promotion of figure skating in China, they did not attach as much importance to it as they did to other popular events.
At that time, Daisy had not yet been released, and Lu Rong was just a little-known actor with a good reputation in the circle.
In the blink of an eye, not only is the Winter Olympics approaching, but Lu Rong has also transformed himself into the youngest film emperor in the country, completely establishing his foothold in the entertainment industry.
Director Feng went from having plenty of time to prepare leisurely at the beginning to being in a state of intense pressure with his superiors urging him every day and every three days, all in just a few months.
He also felt a sense of urgency. His leader had ordered that the short film must be completed before the Winter Olympics, and it was no secret in the industry that director Lian Xuguo had recently invited Lu Rong.
Because he also personally greeted some big directors.
Another national-level cooperation project!
On one side is his immediate superior, the Ice and Roll Association, and on the other side is the famous State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. How could he not be anxious?
I heard that The Flowers of War has already started filming for several months. If he doesn't come, it will be a mystery whether it can be completed before the Winter Olympics.
Fortunately, Director Feng invited Lu Rong, who is known for his efficiency. After reading the script, he probably knew that this task would not be too difficult.
In fact, it was not only not too difficult, it was simply the easiest one he had ever encountered.
The entire short film revolves around the protagonist's perspective and rarely involves supporting roles. Even the competition segments with a large number of people do not require too many extras because the venue is too spacious.
Moreover, most of these inspirational short films cannot escape the "up-down-up" pattern of twists and turns, from growth to lows, then to turnaround and final success, closely adhering to the core values: hard work and persistence.
But its charm lies in the spiritual core of sports itself, which is to break through oneself and never give up. Even if the audience knows the final outcome, they will still be touched by the struggle and sweat during the journey.
To perform it well, you don’t need any sophisticated or complicated performance. Putting your passion into the project and contributing your most sincere side is the best promotion for it.
the next day.
Under Jing Xian's reluctant gaze, Lu Rong bid farewell to her lover and followed Director Feng to a small northern town covered with ice and snow thousands of miles away.
It was Lu Rong's first time to come to such a beautiful ice and snow kingdom.
Looking from a distance, the rolling mountains look like a giant white dragon sleeping under the snow.
The outline of the mountain appears majestic yet soft under the outline of the white snow. Every col and every ridge is filled and covered with thick snow.
This is where the protagonist Jin Yumeng’s story in the short film begins.
The warm winter sun shone on the frozen lake on the outskirts of the city, and a group of children were wearing thick and slightly clumsy winter clothes.
Laughing and playing on the ice, they either moved their feet cautiously or were pulled by their companions to slide, falling down and getting up again, and their laughter echoed above the ice.
Among this group of children, there was a thin boy whose expression showed a special kind of concentration.
I stared closely at the older children who were more adept at skating, and imitated their movements. I tried again and again, fell again and again, and my knees and elbows were soon covered with ice.
But the unyielding ruthlessness in his eyes, like that of a snow wolf, captured by the camera was particularly shocking.
Time flies, and the simple ice lake can no longer accommodate Jin Yu's growing ambitions.
He was sent to a skating club in the city by his parents.
The first time he stepped into a professional ice rink, the huge venue, the mirror-like ice surface, and the surrounding advanced training facilities all ignited his fighting spirit.
The training days were extremely arduous. We had to get up before dawn and rush to the ice rink to practice basic skating. The coach was strict and almost cruel. If one movement was not done right, he would ask us to repeat it over and over again.
Jin Yu fell countless times while practicing jumping, and his eyes were full of stars and his body was covered with bruises.
Looking at the talented teammates on the ice who are performing difficult moves with ease.
He was shaken in his heart and cried silently in his bed late at night, questioning whether he was really capable of continuing on this path.
However, whenever the morning light shone into the ice rink again, he saw the scratches left by the ice skates across the ice, as if he was seeing his own footprints along the way.
He gritted his teeth and continued to train.
In order to improve his flexibility, he stretched despite the pain, and his joints often made "crackling" sounds;
In order to increase leg strength, I did weighted squats until my legs trembled and every step felt like I was walking on the edge of a knife.
After countless training nights, Jin Yu finally faced his first important competition.
He stepped onto the ice rink with nervousness and anticipation. His opening skating went smoothly, but when he was about to complete his first triple jump, his take-off angle deviated.
He lost his balance in the air and fell heavily onto the ice. The huge impact force made him breathless for a while.
He struggled to get up and continued to complete the subsequent movements, but his rhythm was messed up and his score was terrible.
After the game, negative voices came like a tide. The sarcasm on the Internet, the contempt of opponents, and even the alienation of some teammates were like sharp blades stabbing at him.
The first blow of his life finally came. Jin Yu locked himself in the room, facing the mirror, looking at himself covered in pain, his heart filled with despair.
There was a dim close-up of the ice skates thrown in the corner. During that time, he didn't have the courage to step onto the ice rink and skate the entire way.
Until one day, his friends who once taught him how to skate, a group of friends who have grown up but still love skating, find Jin Yu and take him back to the icy lake that carries his happiness and childhood.
The ice surface is still the same, but everyone is no longer the same as before.
His companions didn't say much, they just skated on the ice one by one. Although their movements were not professional or fancy, their pure love and joy infected him.
One of the friends smiled and said to him:
"Remember when we were little? No matter how painful it was to fall, as long as we could slide on the ice for a while, we felt very happy. You are the most motivated among us, please don't embarrass me!"
Jin Yu looked at them, then looked at the familiar ice surface, and the fire in his heart was rekindled.
He picked up his skates, returned to the club, and started over again.
Start with the most basic movements and analyze every detail of your previous failures.
Ask your coach for advice, watch videos of top players competing, improve your technique bit by bit, hone your performance details, and incorporate emotion into every move.
"Teacher Lu, are you ready?" Director Feng gestured behind the camera and reminded loudly.
Lu Rong closed his eyes, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and opened his eyes again, with his eyes filled with unreserved love and determination for the ice surface.
The costume that was close to her body sparkled in the light.
The red, gold and black tones, symbolizing fire and rebirth, are warm and deep.
The main part of the top is in rich, mellow red, which gradually transitions from the neckline to the shoulders and back, incorporating dazzling phoenix feather patterns embroidered in golden silk thread.
The neckline was a plunging V, edged in gold flame lace and ending just below the collarbone.
The outer layer of the cuffs is made of multiple layers of golden tulle into flame-shaped ruffles of varying lengths, with the longest part hanging down to the elbows. When the arms dance, it can produce a visual effect like the flapping of phoenix wings bringing out a flaming airflow.
The phoenix's eyes, the tips of its feathers and the hottest parts of its flames are inlaid with tiny red and orange crystals.
A pair of small golden phoenix wing patterns are sewn at the shoulder blade position, which contrasts with the dark gold tulle wrapped around the outer layer.
When the athlete does backward and rotating movements, the pair of small wings seem to be stretching out in reality.
Director Feng's hands were shaking with excitement, and he couldn't wait to see the heart-stirring Nirvana Dance that would be performed on the ice.
