Chapter 16 Seoul

The next day, Chen Chuqiao took Noah, who was wrapped up tightly, to the set. He was fully equipped with a hat and mask and followed Han Hye-zhen.

The past few days have been group plays. She was standing in the middle of a group of girls wearing simple clothes. Director Zhao Zhenglai was holding a script and telling them about the play. Stylists and makeup artists were walking around in the crowd at the same time, fixing their looks and applying makeup.

Chen Chuqiao has a tall and straight figure and outstanding temperament, which makes her stand out among the crowd. Her rustic dress makes her look a little naive and childish.

The sun hit her face, she squinted her eyes slightly and listened carefully.

Noah was actually a little surprised. He rarely saw such a focused side of Chen Chuqiao. Her favorite painting and reading were the few times she could sit down quietly.

She is not someone who loves to study, and she is also afraid of hard work. To put it bluntly, besides studying, she likes to play and relax. When it comes time to work, she procrastinates and does not work until the last moment, pushing herself to the limit.

If you don't do it, it won't start.

On such a hot day, she had been listening to the director's speech in the sun for more than 10 minutes. Normally, it would be impossible for her to quietly listen to the class for 10 minutes. Within 5 minutes, Chen Chuqiao would definitely start picking her nails and touching her mobile phone.

Or do something else.

Multitasking is what she is best at, which also leads to her inefficiency in doing things. Although she is listening and doing everything, everything takes longer because her attention is distracted.

Noah, who has a plan in doing things, has the hardest time understanding this. He is always very distressed by Chen Chuqiao's words like "If I don't multitask, I can't even use it." Now he should be pleased with her rare intention, but he actually feels a little bit in his heart.

A mixed bag of flavors.

It's like a flower that you have worked so hard to water that has been unable to bloom, but it has tremblingly opened its delicate petals in someone else's garden.

When it was time to finally start filming, Noah watched with his own eyes how Chen Chuqiao suddenly transformed into something unfamiliar to him.

His facial features are still the same, but his eyes are a bit lifeless. There is obviously no change, but his face has a feeling of decadence. He is a bit hunched, sitting there with his legs bent, as if he is drowning in the middle of a group of girls.

Everyone was talking, and she listened quietly, as if in a fugue, looking at the sky in confusion, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, tears flowed down, but her eyes became brighter.

"Cut" Zhao Zhenglai shouted to stop and asked the girl on the right to be more lively.

There are many actors involved in group scenes, so it is normal for Chen Chuqiao to wipe her tears after crying, and then cry again and then wipe them again. At the fifth time, it was finally her turn to get stuck in the scene and it was time to cry.

It's time, but my eyes are too dry to shed tears.

She immediately bowed and apologized to everyone. Everyone understood, and the director waved everyone to take a 15-minute break.

Chen Chuqiao was not in a very high mood, so he walked to the resting area and sat down. The two of them were not very public on the set. Noah only shook her hand reassuringly, and she raised her lips slightly to indicate that she was fine.

Han Huizhen took out eye drops from her bag and put them on for her.

After taking a break, Chen Chuqiao's eyesight condition improved a lot. After two retakes, the filming was successfully completed. Director Zhao Zhenglai asked everyone to take a break for lunch.

Except for the officers, who are adults, most of the girls on the crew are minors, so their working hours are limited. It was relatively quick to finish filming this scene in one morning.

Chen Chuqiao's back was already a little wet. There were no hotels here in the suburbs, so he could only go back to the car. Han Huizhen closed the curtains and wiped the spot in the back seat.

After finishing cleaning, she lay on the seat, drank a frozen drink, felt the cool air conditioner, and sighed with satisfaction, "It's so comfortable."

With bright eyes, she asked Noah for credit, "How was it? Not bad."

Noah smiled and rubbed her hair. As soon as he put it on, Chen Chuqiao held it and said she was sweating.

"That's great. It's a bit surprising. It's rare to see you so focused." He teased, "You said that if you could study calculus so seriously, you wouldn't be shouting that you're going to die every day."

Chen Chuqiao couldn't believe it, "You actually compared calculus with filming!" She spread her hands and said, "Filmmaking is much more interesting."

She ate her lunch leisurely and felt that her energy had been replenished.

Noah looked at her, his thoughts gradually calmed down, and he said, "It would be great if it was interesting."

——

Noah had been filming with Chen Chuqiao for several days, and everyone on the crew understood it tacitly. He waited for her in the car for a long time, and no one could see his face clearly. Everyone just discussed it in private, and for a while it seemed that

The rumors that she has a boyfriend outside the industry have become even more popular.

While waiting for the show, no one without a look would insist on approaching. They just gathered around and chatted. Han Hye-jung handed over her cell phone and said, "It's Amber's phone number."

Chen Chuqiao couldn't touch the phone with the makeup on her hands, so Noah held the phone for her and put it on speakerphone.

On the phone, Liu Yiyun asked her if she wanted to go to dinner together tonight. She looked at Noah and said awkwardly that her boyfriend was here.

"Take him with you." Liu Yiyun said without hesitation, "It's rare that Jackson and the others are free today."

"Jackson and who?"

"It's Mark Yougyeom and Bambam." Liu Yiyun tried his best to persuade, "Let your boyfriend come with you."

Chen Chuqiao was a little hesitant, because they hadn't seen each other for a while, and got7's schedule was really full recently. They could make time to have a dinner date, but it wouldn't be fun if they didn't go.

She struggled for a long time, until Liu Yiyun asked "Are you still there?", and Noah also looked at her doubtfully.

"Here you are," Chen Chuqiao was silent for another two seconds and asked him, "Noah, what do you think?"

Because he was speaking in English, Noah could hear it clearly. He smiled and said, "Of course I can."

"What are you going to eat?"

"eat lunch!"

Chen Chuqiao asked Noah with her eyes, and when he nodded, she replied, "Call!"

"Perfect," Liu Yiyun asked, "Can I reserve a table at 7 o'clock?"

Chen Chuqiao remembered that he didn't have many scenes in the afternoon, so he said, "It should be okay."

Fortunately, the afternoon scene went smoothly and work ended at 4 o'clock.

"Amber and Mark are both from Los Angeles," Chen Chuqiao briefly introduced the people he would meet to Noah, "Jackson is from Hong Kong, Bambam is from Thailand, and Yugyeom is from Korea."

"I should be able to speak English in a while." After saying that, she opened her hands to hug him. The guilt overcame her uneasy thoughts and made her agree to this unplanned gathering.

"That's great."

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, Noah gently caressed her back, and she only heard her say muffledly, "Noah, I'm sorry."

Knowing what Chen Chuqiao was thinking, he didn't say anything. He just picked her up and turned her around a few times with a little force. She couldn't help but scream, then smiled and patted his arm to make him stop.

"Don't think too much, okay?" Noah put her down and pinched her face and said, "You are doing what you like. This is the best thing, whether it is for yourself or for others.

Let’s talk about it.”

No matter how many times Chen Chuqiao thought of this time afterwards, she was always very grateful to Noah.

Nothing is always perfect in life. She tried to pursue the most perfect result, but she was trapped in anxiety and regret that she could not achieve. Chen Chuqiao didn't want to give up. She rarely was so immersed in one thing. At least at that time, she did start filming.

She found a rare sense of satisfaction in it, and she knew that if she stopped here, she would regret it in the future.

It is precisely because I know my choice that I feel guilty and feel that I am not doing a good enough job, but in fact, there is no best solution at all.

The feeling of getting into a corner is not pleasant, but with a person like Noah who takes the trouble to listen to your useless words and affirms you so firmly, Chen Chuqiao simply cannot express in words how important everything he has done is to her.

meaning.

Chen Chuqiao is extremely grateful that there have been so many people in his life who have helped him, including his friends who grew up together, Noah.

She once said that she did not grow up under the guidance of her parents, but groped and stumbled little by little with her friends to become who she is now. Although she was joking, it was undeniable that her friends played a big role in Chen Chuqiao's life. Every friend

They more or less carved her, and without them, it's hard to imagine what she would look like now.

For example, Liu Yiyun can be said to be her first friend in Korea besides her assistant Han Hye-jung.

When they first met, they were by the Han River. Chen Chuqiao didn’t remember why she went to the Han River so early in the morning, nor did she remember what she was thinking while sitting on the chair. Liu Yiyun, who was skating on a skateboard, stopped in front of her and said hello, "

Hi!"

Chen Chuqiao was a little surprised and said "hi".

At that time, her movie had just been released, and neither of them knew each other, so they just sat on the bank of the Han River and chatted in English for more than half an hour.

"Isn't it difficult? Coming to a strange country alone."

"Yeah, I don't have many friends here, and my family is not here, you know," Chen Chuqiao raised his head and looked at the sky, "I really miss home all the time."

Liu Yiyun smiled and said, "I have experienced this too, I am Chinese-American."

"Wait a minute," Chen Chuqiao's eyes widened, a little surprised, "I'm Chinese too."

"Really?" Liu Yiyun was also very excited, "I'm Taiwanese, what about you?"

The second half of the sentence was in Mandarin. Seeing Chen Chuqiao's confused look, Liu Yiyun asked her if she didn't understand Chinese.

"I know how to do it." Chen Chuqiao frowned. She had been forced to practice calligraphy by her grandparents since she was a child. She should not be able to speak Chinese in exchange for so many years of painful time.

"My grandparents are from Hong Kong. I am half Chinese, but I have always spoken and learned to write Chinese."

"Ah - that's it," Liu Yiyun suddenly realized, "we are not speaking the same Chinese language."

"Really?" Chen Chuqiao, who has only been to Hong Kong and his maternal grandparents' hometown since he was a child, expressed his confusion. "Every place in China I've been to, including Hong Kong and Guangzhou, talks about my kind of people."

Liu Yiyun explained to her what the Cantonese-speaking area was and what the Mandarin-speaking area was.

Chen Chuqiao was confused, "I never thought there was another Chinese language," she added, "imean, I thought just like English, most regions can communicate with each other."

The two chatted for a long time, and Liu Yiyun asked her if she wanted to have a meal together, so the two went to have a meal together and exchanged phone numbers.

Until Liu Yiyun knew that Chen Chuqiao was Song Yunzhen in Healing, Chen Chuqiao didn't know that Liu Yiyun was a member of f(x), because during that time she kept running back and forth between the two countries, taking exams and promoting movies

Yeah, I'm so busy that I can't even stand.

Liu Yiyun later invited her to dinner again, which made Chen Chuqiao very embarrassed, so he gave her a customized skateboard drawn by himself on her birthday.

Chen Chuqiao also plays board games. She plays with her friends. After playing for two years, ollie is still at the level of two-lime. It can be said that she has no desire to make progress.

But Chen Chuqiao put a lot of thought into designing the skateboard given to Liu Yiyun. He also consulted professional friends on the choice of the board. Liu Yiyun was so moved when she received the gift that she almost cried while holding her in her arms.

After a while, Liu Yiyun called her very excitedly and told her that she had met an artist named Jackson from Hong Kong who also lived in Guangzhou when she was a child.

After the introduction, Chen Chuqiao quickly became familiar with Wang Jiaer because of his enthusiastic personality, and also got to know his teammates through him.
