Chapter 377
Zhu Lin blinked her eyes: "Do you have to watch?"
"I haven't seen it before, so I'm broadening my horizons."
Zhu Lin's hand was on her waistband: "I can't pee while you're staring at me."
Gong Xue also understood; once, when she was urinating, Zhu Lin entered the restroom, and she stopped abruptly, only continuing after Zhu Lin left.
"Then I'll turn around, that should be fine, right."
Gong Xue turned around, and Zhu Lin was just about to take it off after fumbling around when she suddenly let out an "Ah."
Gong Xue hurriedly turned her head back: "What's wrong, is it born?"
"Born your big head!"
"Then did it flow?" Gong Xue asked worriedly, "Otherwise why is there blood?"
"My relative is here!" Zhu Lin let Gong Xue hand her the sanitary napkin.
At this time, the first sanitary napkin factory in the country had already started construction, but it hadn't started production yet. After the two of them met Wei Ming, they both bought foreign brands from the Friendship Store.
Gong Xue sighed: "Then does that mean we can only wait until the relative leaves before testing?"
Zhu Lin laughed out loud and tapped Gong Xue's head with that stick: "My period is already here, which means I didn't get pregnant, so what's the point of testing."
"Is that so," Gong Xue put the pregnancy test stick away, "Then keep it for me to use in the future; it's quite expensive."
Zhu Lin felt uneasy. If she were pregnant, she would feel sorry for Gong Xue and feel uncomfortable; if Gong Xue were pregnant, she would feel equally uncomfortable.
At this moment, they heard Wei Ming's voice downstairs. The two of them weren't surprised, as they had already seen his luggage.
Zhu Lin smiled mischievously: "Should we tease him?"
"Why, tell him you're pregnant and make him choose?" Gong Xue curled her lips, "Why make things difficult for him? Ma Xiaowei didn't want this either; he doesn't have it easy."
Hearing these words from Little Xue, Zhu Lin gave a thumbs up: You really are a thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket for a bad boy; never mind men, even I am moved.
"But we can't let him be too comfortable either." Zhu Lin insisted on teasing the bad boy.
At this moment, Wei Ming's footsteps approached. Zhu Lin hurriedly tidied up, and before Wei Ming pushed the door open, she still had half her butt exposed.
"What, what are you two doing?" Looking at the scene before him, Wei Ming asked confusedly, "Sister Xue, why do you have the habit of watching people use the restroom?"
Gong Xue was so ashamed her face turned bright red: "Who's watching her? We, we were testing."
Wei Ming recognized the early pregnancy test stick and glanced at it with some trepidation: "Th, the result?"
Zhu Lin pulled up her pants: "The result is that my relative is here."
Hearing this news, Wei Ming felt relieved while also feeling some regret. Having never been a father in two lifetimes, he was truly curious about what that felt like.
Gong Xue asked: "Why did you suddenly come to the Magic City?"
Wei Ming: "Thinking that you two are both in the Magic City right now, and our family of three hasn't gathered together for a long time, so I came. However, I have to go to Guangzhou the day after tomorrow, and then go to Hong Kong to attend a film premiere."
Zhu Lin washed her hands and said: "You came just in time; in a few days, Little Xue is going to Suzhou to film 'Love in the Brush'."
"When I arrived at noon, I took a look at the study; Sister Xue's brushwork has become even more Wei-Jin elegant." Wei Ming praised.
"Everyone in the crew is working very hard, and I don't want to be outdone by them." Immediately, Gong Xue talked about the stories during their crew training period and also introduced the situation of the actors.
It could be said that she was the only big star; the two male leads, Little White Dragon and the third Tang Sanzang, were both newcomers, and when the film is released in the future, it will rely on her alone to sell tickets.
Recently, the actors at the Shanghai Er Yingchang probably weren't in a good mood; "Love in the Brush" chose Gong Xue, who was from the Beijing Er Yingchang, and Director Xie Jin's new work "Qiu Jin" also confirmed Li Xiuming from the Beijing Er Yingchang.
Except for Zhang Yu, the Shanghai Er Yingchang was somewhat lacking in supply when it came to young actresses.
Because all three had eaten, it was time to rest.
Zhu Lin said deliberately: "Originally, Little Xue and I have been sleeping together these past two days. Since you're here and I'm not convenient, I'll go to the next room."
Seeing her about to leave, Wei Ming boldly grabbed her arm and then looked at Gong Xue: "Sister Xue, look at this bed, it's long and wide; three people wouldn't be crowded, right."
Gong Xue knew Zhu Lin was teasing the silly boy, and in the end, she nodded in cooperation: "Fine, together it is."
Seeing that Gong Xue actually agreed, Wei Ming excitedly hurried to wash up—tonight, let Sister Lin help push!
When he came out, the two had already changed into pajamas and were lying on the bed, and they had even left the middle spot for him. It was too thoughtful, too pleasing to the eye.
Even if he had lived a carefree life in his previous life, he had never experienced anything this good.
Wei Ming lay between the two of them and still felt it was unbelievable, feeling that life had reached its peak.
He put his arms around their necks, letting them pillow on his firm arms, and then kissed this one and rubbed against that one.
"There's one more thing I wanted to tell you this time." Then Wei Ming talked about the Journey to the West crew visiting him three times to invite him to come out of the mountains to be a consultant.
"It's a pity 'Dream of the Red Chamber' didn't find me, otherwise I would have directly pushed you two to play Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai." He added.
Zhu Lin patted him lightly: "Do you think I haven't read 'Red Chamber'? Those female leads are all teenage girls; where would you find a Daiyu and Baochai like us."
This was an irredeemable regret; if the two of them were ten years younger, they would simply be the chosen Daiyu and Baochai.
Gong Xue laughed: "Journey to the West is also quite good. When I was a child, I watched 'Havoc in Heaven' several times with my mother; Sun Wukong is the eternal great hero in my heart."
Wei Ming asked with a smile: "Then do you have any Journey to the West characters you want to play? My words carry weight now, and I can help you arrange it."
Seeing the two of them silent, Wei Ming added: "Don't look down on TV dramas. The influence of TV dramas now really can't compare to films, but I believe that after 'Journey to the West' comes out, there will be almost no films or TV dramas that can compare to the influence of 'Journey to the West'."
The reason he said "almost" was because there was "The Shaolin Temple."
Gong Xue asked: "It seems you are very optimistic about this show."
Wei Ming said: "That's right. Currently, there are only over 10 million TV sets in the country. By the time this show finishes filming, there will be at least 60 or 70 million. It will influence at least 200 or 300 million viewers, and as long as it's filmed well, it can be broadcast every year. Perhaps audiences across the country will see this show. The key is that there's also me; with me here, this show will definitely be a masterpiece."
Of course, it would be even without him.
Wei Ming added: "I have already persuaded Liu Xiaoqing, and she has agreed to play the White Bone Spirit."
This news surprised the two women. Zhu Lin said: "If you are the consultant, we will definitely support you. But Journey to the West is full of female demons; do you think I look like a female demon, or does Little Xue look like one?"
Wei Ming: "Who said there are only female demons? There are also female goddesses, and there are good people among mortals, such as the Queen of the Daughter Kingdom."
Wei Ming's true intentions were revealed; he actually just wanted Zhu Lin to take on the role of the Queen of the Daughter Kingdom.
In the future, on the internet, she could be as famous as Gong Xue, who was popular across the country—it could be said that 80% of it was because of the nostalgia for this character.
Actually, in his previous life, Sister Lin did indeed have higher achievements in TV dramas and had even won the Golden Eagle Best Actress award, but compared to the film and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers dual Best Actress awards, it was far behind.
"The Queen of the Daughter Kingdom?"
Zhu Lin recalled this part in the novel; she practically threw herself at Tang Sanzang, actively pulling and dragging, forcing a marriage, and in the end, feeling ashamed and ending it sloppily.
"You little Wei, is that the kind of person I am in your heart~"
Wei Ming hurriedly kissed Sister Lin and coaxed: "TV dramas also need to undergo a certain degree of adaptation and beautification. The director said that the Queen of the Daughter Kingdom is different from the original work, and this trial is called the most difficult of the eighty-one trials."
Wei Ming explained the TV version of the Daughter Kingdom plot to Zhu Lin. This was also the creative idea of Yang Jie and the two screenwriters, letting Tang Sanzang pass through a trial of love to increase the humanity of the Holy Monk.
Hearing Wei Ming explain it this way, Zhu Lin finally became interested.
Then it was Gong Xue's turn to be troubled: Then who should I play?
Actually, in "Journey to the West," besides the Queen of the Daughter Kingdom, only the Guanyin Bodhisattva could be called a female lead.
Wei Ming did look forward to Sister Xue cosplaying as Guanyin, but her face shape would most likely not be the Guanyin image in the director's heart. After all, since ancient times, there have been many statues of Guanyin passed down, and none of them have a melon-seed face.
Gong Xue was thinking about which character in Journey to the West she could play, while Wei Ming's hands were already acting up under the quilt.
It's true, with the two of them lying beside him, one of whom he couldn't touch, he could only take action on himself.
But do you think I can touch you?
At first, Wei Ming was sneaky, but later he didn't avoid anyone. Zhu Lin said from the side: "Oh my, it's only past eight, are you in such a hurry?"
Wei Ming: "Early to bed and early to rise, I'll go take a look at Jueyuan tomorrow."
Zhu Lin: "Should I turn off the lights for you two?"
Wei Ming: "I actually don't mind, if Sister Xue is shy..."
Gong Xue: "Turn off the lights!"
Zhu Lin slowly went to turn off the lights, and then they heard rustling sounds, until Wei Ming suddenly let out an "Eh?"
Zhu Lin laughed "Hahaha," and even took Wei Ming's clothes to the side, not letting him wear them later.
Gong Xue said regretfully: "Actually, my relative is here too, and it hasn't finished yet."
Tonight, Wei Ming's idea of letting Sister Lin help push completely fell through. Actually, he usually helped them keep track of the days; today was just too urgent, which shows how accurate the phrase "lust blinds the mind" is.
He was just about to put on his underwear when he found it had been confiscated by Sister Lin. Forget it, forget it, just like this then.
"Hey, actually I didn't want it that much; being able to quietly accompany you two and talk is already enough to satisfy me." Wei Ming said helplessly, but it was also the truth.
