actor

Pei Ji originally planned to stay in the UK for a week, but since the short reasoning trip after the awards ceremony, he really has no mood to stay any longer.

However, being awkward is awkward, after all, it still can't overcome the curiosity deep in my heart. Pei Ji made a decision on a rare sunny day two days later, and went to the royal family to have a look before returning home.

He thought about taking a look, to see how a talented actor like Zhou Qierting was carved into beautiful jade under such circumstances, and to see what the stage he had worked for for four years was like.

The Royal is one of the oldest theaters in London. Its history can be traced back to the early days of the Hanoverian Dynasty. It has experienced the baptism of countless artillery fires in two world wars and countless renovations and reinforcements. The wall has long since become an iconic landscape.

It seems that just in time for a drama to end, there are groups of well-dressed upper-class men and women walking out of the theater with smiles and laughter one after another. Pei Ji's behavior of going upstream is a bit abrupt and obvious.

"Sir?" A doorman came over and asked friendlyly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Pei Ji stared at the magnificent dome, "Uh...Actually, I came to ask someone." He said while handing the phone to the employee with a puzzled expression, "Do you know this person?"

The doorman took a look and hesitated, "This... I haven't worked here for a long time. May I ask who is this..."

"It's a person who used to be a resident actor in this theater." Pei Ji paused for half a second, and said the unfamiliar English name abruptly, "Carlos chow, I don't know if you have any impression."

The doorman showed a slightly apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know this person, but maybe my superiors know that he has worked here for a long time." He took out a walkie-talkie to turn on the channel, and indeed Really help Pei Ji call the boss.

While waiting, the doorman asked curiously, "Sir, what is your relationship with this person?"

Pei Ji put away his phone, not knowing how to answer this question, "I'm a friend of his, and I just want to know more about him."

"That's it..." The doorman pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly, "Sir, we have a handbook here, which will record all the information of the resident actors. If your friend has really performed here If you want to, I think it should be recorded, and if you want to take a look, I can lead you to the front desk."

Hearing this, Pei Ji naturally agreed, and he followed the doorman to the curved round table at the front desk. The doorman immediately took out an extremely thick book from somewhere in the table hole, and opened it with great effort.

"In what year did that friend of yours officially become a resident actor here?"

"I think it was about four years ago."

"Four years ago..." the doorman babbled and searched quickly, and at the very end of the manual, he finally found the first few records of that year.

Flipping through several Western faces, Zhou Qierting's black hair and ink painting-like face exuding oriental charm finally appeared in front of the two of them.

"Ah, it's here!" The doorman exclaimed in a slightly excited voice, "carlos chow!"

Pei Ji looked at that face but was slightly lost in thought.

Although it has only been four years, the 22-year-old Zhou Qiaru really has a very obvious change from the current him.At that time, Zhou Qierting had a healthy and sunny temperament just like all young people who had just stepped into the society. His facial features did not change too abruptly, but there was a trace of ignorance that had disappeared long ago.Although Zhou Qiting has Western blood, the boy Xiao's mother can still see a very strong oriental atmosphere in his eyebrows and eyes, which is as hazy as a landscape painting among the resolute faces of Caucasians, but it is unforgettable.

The 22-year-old Zhou Qierting stared at the camera without smiling. It seems that since he was a child, he has been as bad at expressing emotions as he is now. Compared with the few local actors before and after this page, it is obvious that he has a reserved temperament.At that time, a trace of melancholy could still be seen in Zhou Qierting's eyes, his armor seemed not so perfect, but four years passed by, and now it is difficult to see the essential emotional fluctuations in him .

Pei Ji's fingers involuntarily climbed up to the corner of the page. He felt that Zhou Qiting in front of him was very strange, but it seemed to be the real Zhou Qiting.

A man's questioning voice came from behind, "Aelx, who is looking for me?"

The doorman immediately pointed to Pei Ji respectfully, "This gentleman."

Seeing that Pei Ji didn't look up, the man called out tentatively, "Sir? Which actor do you want to ask about?"

Pei Ji finally looked at him as if he did not answer, but patted the manual with his hand, "I have found it."

The man looked at the manual and couldn't help but smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, sir, Carlos is no longer performing at our place. In fact, there have been guests asking about his situation in the past few months, but our doorman has just started working. I don't know the situation." While saying this, he gestured to aelx to go back and do his job well, and for a while there were only Pei Ji and him left in the corner of the front desk.

"I know, I am his new friend in China."

The man obviously became friendly when he heard the words, "Really! How is Carlos doing recently? Will he continue his acting career?"

"Yes, he is developing very well in China now."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, an actor like him will achieve success wherever he goes. When he was about to leave here to go to China, we were very reluctant, but I think he was in that situation at the time, and it was really good to live in a different environment." He's good."

"He... what happened to him then?"

"Hey, in fact, after all, there are still a few things that can't get rid of, family relationship, love relationship. In fact, there were already many conflicts between him and his lover at that time. During that time, Carlos would occasionally be absent-minded during the rehearsal. You must know that this is not true for him. It is impossible. I have also seen them arguing in the alley at the backstage exit, and both of them have a very unpleasant time."

Pei Ji looked at Zhou Qierting's photo and asked, "Then do you know what happened between him and his...boyfriend?"

The man gasped and said: "It's nothing more than two different paths. Carlos is famous for his low-key in our area. It is said that Carlos is not his real name. He is a good actor who really regards acting as his career. Our veteran entertainers here like him very much, even the directors of the theater admire him very much. When he insisted on leaving, he persuaded him for a long time. But what about his lover... Well, actually, the first time I saw him, he was Knowing that he and Carlos are not the same way, that person is bound to become a well-known big star at first glance. Naturally, he still has strength, but it is definitely different from what Carlos is after.

I think it's probably because that boyfriend has too much entertainment and has too many scruples, so he can't give Carlos the affection he needs, but... since you know Carlos, you should know that he takes things to heart and is not very keen on being with him. When people communicate, conflicts naturally arise.Maybe it's because of the half of the oriental blood, I always think Carlos has a very typical oriental mystery and complexity, of course, he is also very stubborn, stubborn to death. "

He said and laughed, "Carlos has a very charming temperament and a gentleman. It can be seen that his tutor is very good. During the years when he was a resident, many audiences came for him. To tell you the truth, some Sir...this is by no means a rare case...and Carlos is also a fan of the movie."

Pei Jiwenyan also laughed, "Well...it's really rare in the UK."

The man couldn't help laughing when he heard the teasing in his words, "So are you here just to find out about him, or...?"

"I just want to know more about him," Pei Ji showed a faint wry smile, "He never told me these things, so I had to ask myself."

The man expressed his understanding, "Carlos is such a person, otherwise he wouldn't be him. You must know that Carlos was also a person who was very keen on actor lace back then. You must not have imagined that such a serious person would also like these little gossips. However In fact, the person who really hides the most topics is himself.”

When Pei Ji heard him sigh, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. It turned out that this person was like this before, "That's right...he is really mysterious and loves gossip."

The man winked at him playfully, "Contradictions make you attractive, don't you? So, sir, are you going to enjoy a play here? Our hottest play of the season is Shakespeare's masterpiece <King Lear" and the popular The latest work of the theater actor "The Street Lost"..."

Pei Ji declined his enthusiastic proposal with a smile, "No thanks, I think I'd rather watch plays starring Carlos."

The man did not appear depressed, but recommended more enthusiastically: "That's okay, we can also rent drama videos here. I think we still have some works starring Carlos that have not been rented out, but there are not many in stock. If you want to rent, you have to hurry up."

Pei Ji turned his head and looked at the strange Zhou Qiting again. He thought that his self-abuse gossip journey could come to an end, and he didn't need to make up for himself anymore.

So he turned the man down again very politely.

"I guess... I could go and see what he's starring in now, so... I don't have to. But... maybe you can give me something else."

"Huh?" The lobby manager was a little puzzled.

Pei Ji returned to the hotel in a low mood, and Xiao Jing was dutifully packing his luggage for tomorrow's boarding.

"You really think you're here for a trip... don't care about anything, and don't participate in any activities." Xiaojing made his daily complaints while folding his clothes, and didn't see that Pei Ji himself was out of state.

"It's been a long time since I went out, where did I go shopping again?"

Pei Ji sat on the sofa, staring at the dark TV screen feeling tired, "I went to the theater...didn't do anything."

"Strange, why are you going to the theater?"

"I told you, I didn't do anything."

Only then did Xiao Jing raise his head and look at him, "What's wrong with you?"

"Xiao Jing...I suddenly don't want to go back now." Pei Ji sighed and said to himself, "I don't know how to face him now... He can really hide it."

"Who are you talking about? And you haven't been normal since just now."

Pei Ji rubbed his eyebrows in distress, "Who else is there, he is the only one who will listen."

"Mr. Zhou? What happened to him?"

Pei Ji sank deeply into the sofa, and said inarticulately: "I really did it myself... There is a good saying, curiosity killed the cat."
