525 “AV Shooting Guide” 488: Watching Movies

The next day, Qiao Qiao arrived at the agreed place on time.

Two colleagues were already waiting. The three of them chatted for a while, and the remaining ones arrived one after another.

The last person came up panting and asked: “Qiao Qiao, how did you get here?”

Qiao Qiao was confused: “It’s a bus.”

“Which line?”

She immediately became alert: “What’s wrong?”

Fortunately, the other party didn’t think much and vomited his bitterness: “There was a series of accidents on XX Road this morning and it was terribly blocked. Don’t you usually take that road? You arrived so early?”

Qiao Qiao: “…I slept at a friend’s house last night. His house is in the north.”

“No wonder, let’s go in.”

Qiao Qiao wiped her sweat secretly. Fortunately, she was smart, but it also reminded her that she still had to be familiar with the bus routes in the future and could not rely entirely on Song Qiyan for transportation.

The director distributed the tickets to everyone, and they entered directly after checking the tickets. It was indeed a super hall as promised by the director. Everyone was very fresh and looked for the most suitable seats for watching the movie as soon as they entered.

“Qiao Qiao, are you sitting too far back? Can you see clearly?”

“The screen is so big, it’s okay.” She didn’t want to see Liang Jize’s face up close…

“Sit in the front. It’s fun if we all get together.”

“Yes, we can also share the plot.”

The director had already spoken, so Qiao Qiao had no choice but to sit down with his colleagues.

After a while, the lights in the hall dimmed. Qiao Qiao knew it was about to start, so he curled up his shoulders and prepared to sleep.

An hour and a half passed quickly.

The lights turned on, and the credits and acknowledgments began to appear on the screen, but the person sitting below did not move for a long time.

“That’s great.” I don’t know who said this in a whisper, and the others nodded as if they were just waking up from a dream.

Qiao Qiao also took out a handkerchief and wiped away the wet tears on his cheeks.

No one was willing to leave. Even though everyone knew there would be no Easter eggs, everyone was still immersed in this sad atmosphere. It seemed that not watching the last second of the film was a kind of blasphemy.

A shock that is hard to describe in words.

This is Qiao Qiao’s only feeling after reading it.

She really planned to sleep through the hour and a half, but within a few minutes she was seduced by the wonderful dialogue and opened her eyes. As a result, she got out of hand and watched the end in one breath.

Liang Jize’s acting skills were impeccable. Qiao Qiao once thought that she was familiar with him enough that she would definitely skip the scenes when watching his movies, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.

When she was watching, she completely forgot about Liang Jize. She only knew that he was a sad and pitiful father who endured all the pain imposed on him by fate for the sake of his children.

The highest realm of an actor is only the play and no people.

A place she could never reach in her lifetime.

After leaving the cinema, everyone was blown away by the cold wind outside, and they all felt that they were back in the real world. While discussing the plot, they walked to the restaurant that had been booked earlier.

The director said he would hold a welcome party for Qiao Qiao, but he took it seriously and booked an expensive barbecue restaurant. His colleagues shouted, “He’s so poor!”’, grab the best spot as soon as you enter.

Everyone else was laughing and joking, but Qiao Qiao couldn’t laugh for a while.

She suddenly wanted to call Liang Jize, for no other reason than to tell him that this movie was really great.

“Qiao Qiao, come quickly!” Someone called her, Qiao Qiao waved his hand and pointed to his mobile phone, meaning he wanted to make a call.

Avoiding the crowd, she dialed Liang Jize’s number.

Hearing the waiting tone, Qiao Qiao remembered that it was noon now, and there would be a long publicity period after the movie was released. Liang Jize’s schedule must have been packed with space, and he probably wouldn’t be able to receive the call.

Sure enough, a busy signal came from the receiver, and Qiao Qiao had to hang up.

Back at their seats, everyone had already started eating. The sizzling tender beef in honey sauce and flavored pork belly, paired with ice-cold beer, were so delicious that they took off from the spot. Even the most talkative people became quiet and immersed themselves in eating.

When they were almost done eating, everyone slowed down. The director raised his cup and said, “Come on, let’s have one and officially welcome Qiao Qiao to our secretary office.”

So they had another lively drink, and the colleagues started chatting about the company’s gossip. Qiao Qiao came late and couldn’t understand, so he lowered his head and ate in silence.

After eating for a while, she felt her bladder was bloated and she just wanted to go to the bathroom. She came back soon and didn’t take the phone on the table.

So when I came back, I found that the relaxed atmosphere just now was gone. Everyone at the table had serious expressions, and they looked at her strangely.

Qiao Qiao was confused: “What’s wrong?”

The director spoke first: “There was a call on your cell phone just now…”

Qiao Qiao’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that he wouldn’t be so unlucky, could it be——

“The words ‘Liang Jize’ are displayed on the screen,” another colleague said.

“You’re not here. We wanted to hang up with you first, but we accidentally clicked the answer button. Although he hung up the phone quickly, but…” The colleague took a deep breath, “This is Liang Jize, right? It’s the ‘Liang Jize’ we know, right? I can hear the voice! I can never hear it wrong!”

Colleagues pressed Qiao Qiao onto the chair with bared teeth and claws: “Let’s face it, what’s going on!”

Even the director folded his hands on his chest with a solemn expression: “I didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect it.”

“No, no, please listen to my explanation!”

After everyone calmed down, Qiao Qiao took a breath and thought of a countermeasure in his mind: “He is my friend. Because his voice is very similar to Liang Jize’s, I gave him this name. It also satisfies my infatuation.”

“It’s not a matter of resemblance, it’s just the same, right? I’ve seen more than a dozen of Liang Jize’s movies, and even the tone is very similar!”

“Really?” Qiao Qiao asked, “What did he say on the phone?”

The colleague’s arrogance lowered: “I said ‘hello’.”

“Right, you can’t tell the tone with just one word!” Qiao Qiao seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw, “Think about it, how could someone like Liang Jize know me? If I really had Liang Jize’s phone number, why would I be working overtime as a social worker? Wouldn’t it be more profitable to sell gossip to tabloids?”

Colleagues fell into deep thought, because Qiao Qiao had indeed hit the point.

“Okay, just figure out what’s going on.” The director said, “I think you are also chasing stars and chasing demons. If you think about it calmly, you will know that it can’t be him.”

“Yes, yes.” Qiao Qiao nodded repeatedly.

“Ah… I’m so disappointed.” The girls left in a hurry, “I’m so happy for nothing.”

“You too, Qiao Qiao, why do you have a name that can be misunderstood?”

“If you had a friend with the same voice as Liang Jize, wouldn’t you change his notes?”

“…Well, I might beg him to connect with me every day.”

“I will find a way to marry him. It doesn’t matter if he is ugly. As long as the lights are turned off, it will be Liang Jize who I sleep with.”

The topic started to take a strange turn.

But before Qiao Qiao could put his heart back in his stomach, his cell phone suddenly rang again. It was still the call from ‘Liang Jize’.

Qiao Qiao: “Ahem, um, I’ll go out and take a call.”

“What does it matter? You’re not really a big star. Just pick it up here. Are you afraid we’ll hear it?”

“Yeah, it’s quite troublesome to get in and out.”

Indeed, Qiao Qiao was sitting at the far end. When he came out, three people had to get up to make way, and when he came back, he had to get up again.

Qiao Qiao had no choice but to press the answer button: “Hey, what’s wrong?”

After she finished speaking, she felt that her tone was too stiff, so she softened her tone and said, “I’m having dinner with my colleagues.”

“No wonder.” Liang Jize’s magnetic and deep voice penetrated her cochlea, “It’s been a long time since I heard you talk to me so gently.”

Qiao Qiao: =Dan=!

Liang Jize: “You called me and asked me if you had anything to do with me?”

Qiao Qiao hummed vaguely: “I watched a movie today.”

“Oh? So you called me specifically to praise me?”

“…” Qiao Qiao was surprised by Liang Jize’s acumen. He only said “watching a movie” and he guessed her intention of calling.

Qiao Qiao: “Yeah, it’s very beautiful.”

“Ha.” The man laughed, looking in a good mood, “Do you like Li Fujiang?”

Li Fujiang is the name of the male protagonist played by Liang Jize.

“I like it.”

“Do you want to have sex with him?”

“Pfft -” Qiao Qiao coughed violently and glanced around guiltily. Fortunately, her colleagues didn’t pay attention to her.

“What did you say!”

“I can go to bed with you using Li Fujiang’s character and even change his sexual fetishes. Wouldn’t it be exciting to experience completely different sex?”

“…Shh, keep your voice down!”

“This is a limited-time special offer only open to you, no waiting until it expires.”

Who wants this limited time offer from you!

Qiao Qiao held his forehead: “No more talking, I’m going to eat, bye.”

I hung up without waiting for the man to reply, for fear of hearing something else that would make my blood pressure soar.

Alas, calling him on a whim was indeed a mistake.
