The years are long

In the evening, Qin Yu and his party returned to Linghai.

Everyone bid farewell before the cruise ship, and then went home separately.

Li Peihan and Tang Yi went back to Li's house, and Qin Yu was going back to Qin's house with Han Shutong and Zhang Lanlan. He sent Xia Xingchen home on the way, and then drove to the suburb of Linghai.

Because the Qin family is not in the urban area and the distance is relatively long, Qin Kui drove the car into the garage of the Qin family's villa at eight o'clock.

When it was close to lunch time in the afternoon, they all felt that they were almost home, so they didn't have dinner seriously. The first thing they did when they returned to Qin's house was to have dinner first.

Qin Yuandao cooked the kitchen himself, made a few small dishes for the family members who came back from the trip, and then sat on the side with a satisfied smile and waited for them to finish eating.

"I'm full." Qin Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up. Before leaving, he did not forget to boast: "Dad's cooking skills are getting better and better. Sure enough, we are right that we didn't eat on the road."

Qin Yuandao was sitting at the dining table waiting for praise, and now he smiled and said: "Is it? Is it better than your Aunt Chen's cooking?"

Usually he likes to rush to do some housework, Han Shutong also let him go, this time he also put down the bowls and chopsticks to cheer: "Yes, the food you cook is the best, I think I can consider some day to give it to Sister Chen Fake."

Zhang Lanlan also put down the bowl and chopsticks and echoed: "I also think that it will save Aunt Chen from worrying about what to eat for us every day."

Qin Yuandao shook his head seriously: "Hey, that's not okay. The family is so big, so it needs to be more lively."

Qin Kui shook his head with a smile, and said to Han Shutong and Zhang Lanlan: "Mom, second sister-in-law, I'll go upstairs first."

Han Shutong couldn't help laughing softly, "Are you in a hurry to go back to your room to contact Xingchen?"

Qin Yu, who was just about to turn around and leave, stopped his movements, met Han Shutong who had a clear expression on his face, and showed a helpless smile after being exposed: "Mom, did I act so obviously?"

"Of course there is..." Zhang Lanlan smiled and said in a mysterious tone, "On the way to send Xing Shen home, I saw you looking at her several times while waiting for the traffic lights, and you didn't want to say anything. Mom, right?"

"Well, isn't it?" Han Shutong chimed in, looking at his daughter with interest.

"Is it that good things are coming for our family?" Qin Yuandao was also aroused, and quickly pulled the chair closer.

"What good thing is coming? How can there be..." Qin Yu couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to tell the truth, "It was the show I was going to record. I didn't invite an actor I admired to be a supporting partner. In the afternoon, I and Xingshen talked about it. Then she told me that she studied acting."

"Huh..." Qin Yuandao leaned back in his chair in surprise.

"Wow..." Zhang Lanlan's eyes widened, and she stopped when she wanted to continue eating with chopsticks.

Even Han Shutong showed doubts until Qin Yu nodded with certainty.

Han Shutong asked: "Then what do you think?"

"For this show, of course it's better to have professional actors." Qin Yu sat down again as he spoke, "I looked at the list of participants, and most of them are professional actors. In this case, if the partner is inexperienced , may affect the overall score. Although I don't pursue entering the annual finals, my ranking in this group competition cannot be low."

Han Shutong nodded slowly while listening: "I understand what you mean. Once your ranking is low, not only will it not be able to promote our movie, it will even be greatly discounted."

"Joking about Light and Shadow" gathers a group of actors who have worked in film and television works in the entertainment industry, and the popularity is predictably high. If Qin Yu's performance on the show is remarkable, it will be able to gather a lot of attention for the upcoming movie.

Similarly, if Qin Yu's performance cannot match Han Shutong's reputation, then the attention of the movie will also be lowered, and the level of acting skills will even be questioned before it is released.

Qin Yu smiled gently: "It would be even better if there was cooperation or personal friendship with my partner, saving the time of running in."

She listened to Xia Xingchen's proposal, but she couldn't give it priority.

She had to make sure that the actor she could still choose could be her partner, and if she couldn't satisfy all considerations, then she would put Xia Xingchen's proposal before her eyes.

So she has to make sure of this as soon as possible.

Han Shutong nodded seriously, and didn't give any thought immediately, and asked after a while: "I don't think you need to think so much."

Qin Yu was a little surprised: "Mom, what do you mean?"

Qin Yuandao and Zhang Lanlan didn't understand these things about them, and they looked at them with slightly curious eyes.

"Don't you remember what I said?" Han Shutong adjusted his sitting posture, turned to Qin Yu's direction, and reiterated his thoughts: "I have already emphasized that the promotion of this work should not be too much related to the current film. If I want to get benefits from this work, then I don’t need you to act, let alone choose this theme. Also, regarding this show, your focus is wrong, the important thing is not to act as a supporting actor partner."

What she wants is that most people watch this work because of their interest in the content of the film, rather than relying on gimmicks that do not belong to the content of the film to attract the audience.She wasn't denying the benefits of that, but this time she didn't want to and didn't have to.

The warm-up that Qin Yu wants to achieve only needs a little effect, which is enough, and the rest is left to the work.

Qin Yu remembered Han Shutong's explanation, but these words still made her stunned. After thinking for a while, she asked back: "Then I can not pay too much attention to the level of this supporting partner? After all, the focus is on me."

Han Shutong's smile revealed a sense of understanding and love: "Well, focus on yourself, and don't take the weight of this supporting partner too seriously."

"Then I..."

Qin Yu paused, and the names of the actors who passed through her mind in the afternoon came to mind again.

She stood up, moved her steps outside impatiently, and said with a relieved smile: "I see, then I'm going upstairs."

After Qin Yu left the dining room and the footsteps disappeared, Qin Yuandao asked: "Shu Tong, are you really assured that Sansan is so casual?"

Zhang Lanlan also became worried: "That's right. Although I don't know the way to do it, wouldn't it be better if this co-acting partner is famous and has acting skills?"

Han Shutong looked at the faces of her husband and daughter-in-law full of curiosity, shook her head and said with a smile: "That's right, but it's not necessary. Think about it, in a very short plot, Sansan is the leading role, then No matter how good this partner's acting skills are, they won't be able to show much at this time. Also, if the partner's reputation is too great, it is easy to overwhelm the guest. Xing Chen has a calm personality. Since she mentioned that she has studied acting, she must be With this ability, as far as fame is concerned, it is enough for her to partner with Sansan's couple."

Han Shutong has always spoken in such a soft and slow manner, and her persuasive power has invisibly increased a lot when she said something that was already well-founded.

"That seems to be right." Qin Yuandao murmured.

"I also think..." Zhang Lanlan thought about it carefully, and really couldn't fault it.

After Qin Yu returned to the room, he chewed on what Han Shutong said over and over again, and hesitated for a while whether to invite his actor friend, and finally understood what Han Shutong said just now: focus on yourself.

She took out her mobile phone and walked to the window, organized her words for a while, thinking about what to say to Xia Xingchen.

The evening wind outside the window was slightly chilly, and when it brushed her cheeks, it woke her up immediately.

Why make any excuses?She didn't start with selfishness, but this time it happened to coincide with her selfishness.

Qin Yu dialed Xia Xingchen's number without any hesitation, and after two rings on the other side, he connected.

"What's wrong?" Xia Xing's voice came from the phone, as clear and indifferent as before.

Qin Yu didn't hide it, and said directly: "Xing Chen, you can accompany me in the play to talk about light and shadow, and be my supporting partner."

"No problem." Xia Xingchen replied softly, and after a pause he asked, "Why did you decide so quickly?"

"I thought it was wrong before..." Qin Yu propped his other hand on the floor-to-ceiling window frame, lowered his head and couldn't help laughing, "I have always wanted to find an actor with guaranteed acting skills to partner with, but I forgot that this is not a real filming. In such a short period of time, the other party can show very little, and the focus is on me. So in fact, what I need is not a partner with great acting skills, but a partner who can reduce the running-in time with me."

She also didn't know if Xia Xingchen could understand, just when she was about to explain further, Xia Xingchen's voice contained a hint of clarity: "It seems that I am enough."

Qin Yu froze his half-opened mouth, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "That's enough."

Xia Xingshen said: "Then you can spare some time to tell me about the specific process."

"Well, I have to tell you about the scene that was assigned to me." Qin Yu walked away from the window and walked to the laptop on the table, switched the phone to the left ear to answer the call, held the mouse in his right hand, and clicked on a document, watching it as he went. Said: "This program will be updated online at the end of the month, and we have to record it a week in advance, so there is not much time left for us to get familiar with the first scene."

Xia Xingshen's voice sounded like he was thinking: "I can save a lot of running-in time between you and me, so there should be time."

Qin Yu nodded silently and closed the document, "Is it convenient for you tomorrow? I'll go find you after work."

"No problem." Xia Xing said in a low voice, "It's the same as what I said when I went to South Island, you don't need to worry too much."

Through the mobile phone, Qin Yu couldn't see Xia Xingchen's face, nor could he see whether Xia Xingchen was busy with other things when he said these words.

But Xia Xingchen responded to her inexplicably before her eyes. She could feel that Xia Xingchen's expression was still indifferent, as if this matter was a trivial matter that couldn't even afford three meals a day.

It's just that those simple words are always an unparalleled reassurance to her.
