you after the mist

The audition went smoothly, and it ended in less than an hour. Tang Ran walked out without seeing Shen Xi.

"Where is Miss Shen?"

Yang Rui handed over the water glass, "Sister Shen is talking to the assistant director."

They were talking when they saw Shen Xi walking from the side, followed by someone.

The man kept talking about something, but Shen Xi's face was indifferent but he didn't answer.He walked up to Tang Ran and stopped.

The man politely called Teacher Tang.

Tang Ran nodded with a smile.

"Tang Ran still has to record the show in the afternoon, so I'll leave first. We'll get back to you after discussing this matter." Shen Xi said something to him, and then led Tang Ran away.

Tang Ran did have another announcement in the afternoon, a talent show, and he was a judge.Today is the first recording, the location is not far, half an hour's drive away.

"What were you talking about just now?" After getting into the car, Yang Rui drove in front, and he and Shen Xi sat in the back row.

"The girl in "Zhu Yan Ci Jing" must be Zhang Jingyi, you know." Shen Xi said.

Tang Ran nodded, "You said two days ago, is there any problem?"

Sure enough, Shen Xi sneered and said, "Zhang Jingyi is fine, it's the second female lead's problem. The producer plans to use Qiao Peiyun."

"I thought she wouldn't be willing to pick up the second girl."

"It's up to her whether she likes it or not. She has won the Best Actress for almost five years. It's really like a bought trophy that can be eaten for a lifetime."

"Look at you." Tang Ran laughed, "You also agreed to the scandal back then, and it was you who did the ideological work for me, so there's no need to be so angry when she is mentioned now."

"That's because she was under the eaves and had to bow her head. Besides, from the beginning, the company asked you to temporarily block her from the wind. What is she doing behind the scenes? You put your back."

"I didn't mean to blame you." Tang Ran gave Shen Xi a disapproving look, and gave her a pause gesture. "We have indeed benefited."

"I knew she had so many things to do, and I couldn't agree to any favors at that time."

"It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, I knew it earlier, so I don't mention these things, what should I do now?"

Shen Xi's complexion was not very good, "I asked them to change someone today."

"So it can't be changed?"

"It's hard." Shen Xi sighed, "She's been separated from the previous one for a while, otherwise she wouldn't be like this in the past few years. But recently, she got another one, whose strength is not as good as the previous one. She is enough. So, this time she also brought funds into the group. Besides, she has signed a contract."

"I haven't signed yet." Tang Ran said indifferently.

"You..." Shen Xi looked at him in surprise.

"Just kidding." Tang Ran smiled, "It's fine if you can't exchange it. It's rare to come across a book you like, so let's take a picture. I will pay attention to it myself, and just stay away from her after work is over. Since Qiao Peiyun is still relying on the benefactor , probably can’t do something like knocking on the door in the middle of the night.”

"That's hard to say." Shen Xi snorted lightly, and didn't continue this topic, so the two of them had reached an agreement.

The car drove for a while and arrived at the parking lot of the TV station.There were already staff members waiting, and he took Tang Ran into the dressing room. Shen Xi and the makeup artist mentioned the points to pay attention to before going out again.

When she came back, Tang Ran's makeup was almost half done.

"I said hello everywhere, so I went back to the studio first. Xiao Yang will stay with you. Today I will record two episodes at a time. It may end in the early morning. Xiao Yang has prepared cherry tomatoes. If you are hungry, you can eat a little. Don’t eat the box lunch provided by the program group, start working, and control your weight.”

She looked at Tang Ran while talking, "It seems that you have gained a little weight, and you don't pay attention to control when you are on holiday."

"See if you can give him some more shadow powder." She said to the makeup artist again.

"Hey, it's done." The makeup artist responded, and was about to raise his head to say something when a man's laughing voice came in.

"Sister Shen, you are talking nonsense. If Tang Ran is considered fat, then my economic manager must think that I can't meet people."

"Yun Qing, you're here too." Shen Xi turned around and smiled.

"I'm here early, look." Xu Yunqing sat down on the chair next to Tang Ran, and turned his face to Shenxi, "The makeup is all done, I just heard that Tang Ran is here, so I'll come over and have a look."

"I'm relieved to have you here. Tang Ran is no better than you. It's the first time I've participated in this kind of program. If there's anything I don't understand, you can help me."

They chatted for a few more words before Shen Xi left.

"Why don't you talk?" As soon as Shen Xi left, the dressing room became quiet.

"I see that you and my economic agent are having too much fun chatting, and I can't bear to interrupt you."

"If I hadn't come, she would still be saying that you have gained weight, and she doesn't know how to thank me at all." Xu Yunqing lay on the table and looked at Tang Ran with her head tilted. "But to be honest, you really haven't changed, Shen Xi is too strict."

"Can you change the subject?" Tang Ran finally finished his makeup, took the water from Yang Rui, and took a sip through the straw.

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask the makeup artist, isn't that right, little sister?"

The make-up artist was arranging her cosmetic bag when she heard Xu Yunqing tell her to nod quickly. "No, I have transformed so many artists, and there are not many who can catch up with Mr. Tang without makeup."

"Then which of us is the better looking?" Xu Yunqing smiled.

The makeup artist blushed and looked at Tang Ran for help.

"You look good, you look the best." Tang Ran waved at the girl, signaling her to go out first, "Are you crazy today? I remember you don't talk so much usually."

"I'm in a bad mood, you don't allow me to talk to my sister to have fun."

"You're still smiling so brightly when you're in a bad mood." Tang Ran changed a chair and sat down. "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't want to take on variety shows anymore. During this period of time, my agent has accepted four reality shows for me. If this continues, I almost forget that I am still a graduate of a serious drama school." Xu Yunqing bitterly with a face. "Our crew at that time has developed well now, and it's just you and Li Yang."

Liyang was talking about Tao Liyang.

After breaking up with Jiang Ning back then, Tang Ran suffered from insomnia for a long time, so he would go for night runs at night. As long as he was tired enough from running, his mind would go blank and he would not need to think about him anymore.

One day, as usual, he ran back at night and passed an alley when he suddenly fell out of a very drunk man. The man was crying all the time and kept holding Tang Ran back. shake him off.After walking a few steps forward, seeing him still sitting on the ground, I couldn't bear to think about it.It happened that the place was not far from his newly rented house, so he dragged him back, threw him in the living room, and went in to sleep by himself. "Thank you for taking me in yesterday." When the door was opened early in the morning, the drunk had already woken up. When he saw Tang Ran coming out, he extended his hand to him with a smile. "My name is Tao Liyang, let's make friends."

Not yesterday, but this morning.Thinking about it, Tang Ran reached out and shook his hand.That's how the two got to know each other.

Tao Liyang is a student of a drama school next to R University, and he studies drama creation.His father, Tao Cheng, is a well-known screenwriter in the circle, and he can be regarded as inheriting his father's career by learning this.

Not long after, Tao Liyang organized a few students to make a micro film to participate in the film creation competition for college students that year.

The hero of that movie is Xu Yunqing.There are a few scenes in the movie that were taken at R University. Tang Ran would also go to see them when they came over.

Later, this film won the gold medal in the college student film creation competition that year.The leading actor Xu Yunqing signed a contract with Yaoxing because of this award.But the biggest winner was Tang Ran, who was noticed by Zhu Guantao, the director of the judging committee, in a flashing scene.

Zhu Guantao found Tang Ran's contact information from Tao Liyang, and invited Tang Ran to audition for a role in the movie "Before You Sing" that he is preparing.

"But I didn't study acting." Tang Ran explained to him.

"I know, it's not important, you can come and give it a try, I think you fit that role very well."

That character can be regarded as the third male lead, and he doesn't have too many scenes, but he can be regarded as the soul of the whole story.The whole movie uses his perspective to witness the love between the heroine and others, but he never reveals his own thoughts, which is also the origin of the title "Before the Song Comes Together".

In fact, the film has been in preparation for a long time, and the male and female protagonists have already been selected, but this role has not been settled.They tried many people back and forth, from young actors to film school students, but they always felt that something was missing.Originally, he thought that the actual appearance of this character would not be too many, but when he found a similar one and settled down, Zhu Guantao found Tang Ran.

In that scene, he was the background board. When the camera swept over him, he looked into the distance and didn't know he was thinking, but the expression on his face made Zhu Guantao find the emotion that the character needed, gentle and lonely, as if he was thinking about something people.

Tang Ran thought for a long time, and finally went.He remembered that he saw Jiang Ning on TV one day, a very small role, but he finally started to have lines.Maybe he will stay in this circle in the end, Tang Ran thought.If he became an artist himself, would he be closer to Jiang Ning, although Jiang Ning might not want to see him.

Tang Ran went to the audition the next day with two big dark circles under her eyes, and was teased about being too nervous.But these have no effect, he received a call a few days later, informing him to sign the contract.He filmed "Before You Sing", signed an agency shortly thereafter, and miraculously won the best newcomer for that role, which changed the course of his life.

Perhaps earlier, when he met Jiang Ning, his life had already changed.

"Hello." Xu Yunqing waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Who are you?"

"Not distracted." Tang Ran slapped his hand off, coughed a bit before remembering the topic just now. "You can't say that the development is not good. In recent years, your exposure rate has been much higher than mine."

"So what if I have exposure? I'm about to become a variety show cafe." Xu Yunqing turned around and rested his chin on the back of the chair.

"Why don't you talk to Li Yang about any new scripts he's coming up with, and you can also mention them to the producer. I'll keep an eye out for you if there's a suitable opportunity." Tang Ran thought for a while and said . "Is there no project for Yaoxing in the second half of the year? You are famous now, so let's talk to the manager."

After Xu Yunqing signed Yaoxing, he also took on a lot of scenes, but there has been no splash, not even half-red or not purple.Later, the company arranged for him to take over a reality show, but unexpectedly got a lot of attention.Xu Yunqing still wanted to act, but his thoughts were not important to the company.

"There is a project." Xu Yunqing said, but his expression did not relax. "I'm going to make a costume movie in a short time. It's a book written by Li Yang's father. The actors are almost all cast, but now there are a few that can't be scheduled and have to be re-selected. I don't care about it at all. In order to fight for me, Li Yang helped me say a lot of good things, and then helped me get an audition opportunity. I went there yesterday, but it seems to be yellow."

"Hey, wait a minute." Tang Ran didn't react a little bit, "What do you mean the actors are almost fixed, and the schedule can't be arranged?"

"It was originally last year's project, and the preparations were almost complete, and somehow it was stopped. It turned out to be last week, and suddenly said that it was going to be filmed." When he said this, his expression suddenly became mysterious, "You know who the male lead has chosen ?"

Tang Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "You are really suitable for a reality show. Your emotions change seamlessly. You were sad for a second, but now you are gossiping again."

"Jiang Ning is settled." Xu Yunqing saw that Tang Ran didn't intend to guess, and he didn't make any further guesses.

Tang Ran was so surprised that he almost stood up, "Has he signed with your company?"

"No." Xu Yunqing didn't expect such a big reaction from him, "Sit down. I heard that he was appointed to act in this drama last year, but it seems that the project stopped because he stopped filming. Some time ago he You must also know about that, and set up this project again at such a time. This is really pissing people off."

Tang Ran understood what Xu Yunqing meant, that Jiang Ning's matter had been suppressed for the time being, but such matters were always sensitive in the industry, and the investors would be a bit apprehensive when approaching him.If half of the movie is filmed in the future, it will inevitably be affected by some scandal.Now that Yaoxing dares to let him play the leading role, he also intends to prove from the side that this matter is false.

"This news is too..." Tang Ran calmed down and forced a blunt smile, "He is not even an artist of Yaoxing, why does your company praise him like this."

"Praise him must be praise him, I've heard one reason, I don't know if it's true or not." Xu Yunqing glanced at Tang Ran confusedly, then turned to look at the door of the dressing room, "I heard that he has an unusual relationship with Lin Yi. "

"Actor Lin?" Lin Yi became famous at a young age, became a double actor at the age of 27, and retired from filming at the age of 30 after marrying a wealthy daughter. He went behind the scenes and founded Yaoxing, developing it into one of the best entertainment companies in China.

Xu Yunqing pressed his palm down, "Slow down your voice."

Tang Ran's heart was in a mess, "What do you mean by having an unusual relationship?"

"I also heard that someone in the company spread it again. This is not something to talk about on the bright side. I can still inquire about the details."

"This is impossible."

"What did you say?"

Tang Ran grabbed the armrest of the chair with all his strength, and the veins on the back of his hand burst out.He shook his head and repeated slowly and clearly "absolutely impossible."
