Chapter 65 An Encounter with Nazar
A guitar, a wandering singer, a city...
The camera slowly zooms in, showing Xu Lang carrying a guitar, walking alone on the damp cobblestone path.
Taverns lined both sides of the street, and the dim streetlights cast long shadows of him. At the end of the backlit street, a hazy silhouette appeared and disappeared.
Xu Lang's eyes were filled with reluctance; he was reluctant to leave this city, these taverns, and even more reluctant to leave the people here...
That beautiful figure represents the people this city can't let go of. She is beautiful, but also seems a little melancholic. Yet, when the sun shines, her smile is as radiant as a flower...
The emotions expressed in "Chengdu" are so pure they are heart-wrenching; there is no coldness of skyscrapers, no hustle and bustle of the city, only sycamore trees on street corners, roadside taverns, and weeping willows.
A body that had wandered far and wide, a soul that had drifted aimlessly, found the warmth of home in this unfamiliar city.
It wasn't the city's prosperity that gave him such deep memories and a sense of reluctance to leave; it was those inconspicuous corners.
But eventually, I have to leave...
Personifying the city is not just about love, but also about Zhao Lei's love for this city.
Xu Lang's emotional expression was spot-on, leaving the director speechless and nodding in satisfaction.
Although Xu Lang is the main character in the music video, the music video was actually filmed to showcase Bai Mengyan.
The director cleverly uses Bai Mengyan's perspective and reactions, as well as her indirect or direct interactions with Xu Lang, to express the city's warmth towards Xu Lang.
"Click!"
Director Zhilei, holding a walkie-talkie, jogged over:
"Teacher Bai, your positioning and eye contact were off; you were supposed to portray the beauty and kindness of this city, but you couldn't be too deliberate with Teacher Xu Lang..."
"Of course, don't be nervous. Let's be natural, okay?"
Bai Mengyan listened attentively: "Okay!"
As he spoke, he looked to Xu Lang for help.
Xu Lang approached and whispered:
"Mengyan, think back to the way you looked at each other when we were dating, all lovey-dovey..."
"Emotions are reciprocal. You represent the people of this city, and you represent the city itself—it's personification, you know?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched her chin, gazing into her eyes with affection.
Bai Mengyan felt a sense of déjà vu as she was stared at, and memories of their past romance flooded back.
"Actors, take your positions!"
Filming continues!
A light rain suddenly started to fall, but the actors couldn't stop until the director gave the order.
In areas out of the camera's view, Tang Lei, Hehe, Huanzi, and others were watching the commotion.
These people also asked to make a cameo appearance in the background.
Tang Lei stroked her chin, staring at the two actors who were engrossed in their performance, and nudged them with her elbows, chuckling:
Are they a couple?
Hehe was a little taken aback and didn't know how to answer:
"Um... I guess it doesn't count?"
"How can it be called that?" Tang Lei, being older, had a sharp eye; the love in the eyes of these two didn't seem like an act.
"This emotion... is so intense!"
The entire filming process went smoothly, and they even had to continue filming into the evening.
This requires Tang Lei's strong cooperation. She will not only make a cameo appearance, but she will also be playing herself, so she can just play herself.
In addition, the actual state of the pub will also be filmed. The singers who will be performing tonight have all been informed that the filming is for folk music to break into the mainstream, and everyone has responded very positively.
Folk music has broken out of its niche, and everyone can make a living now!
……
The filming went smoothly for the next four days.
Not only on the streets of Yulin, but also at performance venues in train stations and bars, and during backstage equipment setup...
Many people in the industry showed their faces!
Bai Mengyan's performance is getting better and better, especially after Xu Lang's guidance, her performance is excellent.
So much so that later, the director directly handed over the guidance work to Xu Lang.
……
Night falls!
Xu Lang and his friends drank a lot with the folk singers in the tavern and listened to many of their stories.
Most of them pinned their hopes on this music video, hoping to expand their market and get a share of the profits.
It was already midnight when we got back to the hotel!
Xu Lang had just finished showering and was planning to maintain his relationships with the girls when Meng Ziyi started acting cute on WeChat, saying she wanted to fly to Chengdu to see him.
Xu Lang frowned and quickly reassured him:
"Stop messing around, I'm filming a proper music video. I'll call you after I join the crew."
bang bang bang...
There was a knock on the door. Xu Lang went to the door and saw Bai Mengyan standing at the door through the peephole.
Open the door!
"Hehe, I'm here!"
Bai Mengyan strode in, locked the door behind her, and pinned Xu Lang against the wall.
She tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Xu Lang's neck, and asked for a kiss—
Xu Lang bent down slightly, grabbed her thigh, lifted her up, and carried her in his arms.
She kissed him on the lips and then walked toward the bed:
"You come here every day, and you haven't said anything, have you?"
Bai Mengyan stared at her with affection in her eyes:
"She knows our situation!"
Xu Lang came to the bedside, threw her onto the soft bed, quickly took off his clothes, and pounced on her.
During her trip to Chengdu, Bai Mengyan only spent one night with her best friend. For the rest of the night, it was the same "knocking on the door in the middle of the night" every night.
The first time she knocked on the door, she was quiet. When I woke up the next day, I saw her coming out of Xu Lang's room.
After that, she stopped hiding it and started knocking on the door openly.
The two filmed during the day and engaged in physical combat at night; they were not a couple and had no emotional entanglements, so their physical combat in this situation seemed quite interesting.
If nothing unexpected happens, this situation will continue until the music video filming is finished.
the next day!
The two went to the filming location together. The director told them that this was the last day of filming, and after that they could arrange their own schedules.
Xu Lang suggested that tonight at the Encounter Bar, he would treat everyone who participated in the filming to a farewell dinner.
Everyone is in favor!
In just a few days, Xu Lang also became familiar with Tang Lei, the owner of the bar, who was responsible for contacting the singers who participated in the filming at the bar.
Night falls!
The tavern is not open to the public tonight; it's hosting a wrap party, and Tang Lei will pay for everything.
Xu Lang and the other singers cheered, clinked glasses, and had a great time.
It happened right after the show ended!
Xu Lang walked out of the tavern, enjoying the cool evening breeze, and stared at the flashing neon lights on the street.
Just as we were getting ready to board!
Xu Lang saw a beautiful sight by the roadside—a girl walking along the street, swaying slightly, probably because she had been drinking.
She was tall and slender, carrying high heels, and her long, fair legs were dazzling under the orange light.
That back view... looks familiar!
"Gulnazar...is that Gulnazar?"
Hehe pointed at the figure, a mix of excitement and disbelief in his eyes.
"Let's go take a look!"
Xu Lang walked forward.
I was also a little puzzled as to why she was here.
Is she filming in Chengdu?
But if it's for filming, the production crew wouldn't leave her walking alone on the street in the middle of the night.
She's a girl after all; it's not very safe for her!
Thinking back to my recent entanglement with Zheng Shuang, which was related to Nazar, I felt somewhat worried.
"Nazar!"
Xu Lang called out softly.
The girl stopped and slowly turned around.
Under the lights, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were unfocused, and she had clearly drunk quite a bit. Her gaze was fixed on Xu Lang.
"Who are you? Are you my fans?"
She took a couple of unsteady steps, then struck a pose like a celebrity, grinning as she said:
"Here, let me sign your names—"
