After getting back together with my ex, I became popular

There was a traffic light ahead, Ji Fei slowed down the speed and stopped slowly, turned his head to look at him: "What's wrong?"

The fast-paced jazz music was playing in the carriage, and now it was set off by his cold voice, making it seem a little noisy for no reason.

Xu Chen pursed his lips. In fact, he didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, and he didn't even know what kind of answer he wanted to hear.

He kind of regretted mentioning it.

"No. I'll just ask casually."

There was a turbulent flow of people at the intersection, the red light turned to green, Ji Fei shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle accelerated and moved forward. For a long while, no one in the car spoke.

Just when Xu Chen felt that he had to talk about something else, Ji Fei finally said, "Not yet, the floor has been soaked for too long, and some lines have to be replaced."

Xu Chen inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh."

"You ask this, because you don't want me to stay at your place?" Ji Fei's eyes fell on the road ahead, and his tone of voice was a bit slow.

Ji Fei's question was too direct, so direct that it was unexpected. For a moment, Xu Chen, who had no time to think about his emotions, was forced to disrupt his pace, and suddenly felt like a ruthless scumbag.

This person is helping him drive now. He was practicing archery with him a few hours ago, and was discussing script analysis and character analysis with him a few hours ago. As a result, he didn’t even say a word of thanks. , asked an inexplicable question.

There is no such thing in the world.

It is a perfect interpretation of what is meant by "beating him upside down", and it is flattering to describe it as a scumbag.

Xu Chen was busy asking himself soul-searching and deep reflection in his head, opened his mouth, and remained silent for a long time.

But the other party obviously didn't intend to let him pass this topic quietly.There was an intersection ahead, Ji Fei turned the steering wheel slightly to the right, and gave Xu Chen a very light look: "Is that so?"

Xu Chen blinked, and subconsciously blurted out: "No." Feeling that his tone seemed a little too urgent, he paused, and then continued: "I mean, of course you can live with me."

Ji Fei said "hmm" with a deep voice: "That's good. Judging by the progress, it should take a while."

"I should have just bought a bed if I knew it." Xu Chen frowned, and his tone was a little disgusted: "Now that little broken sofa bed..."

"I just bought it not long ago." Ji Fei laughed in a low voice, "It's still new, so it can't be considered broken."

The more Xu Chen heard it, the more ashamed he became: "No matter how new you are, it's not as comfortable as going to bed, and you don't even have to do cooking and tidying up."

Ji Fei had a panoramic view of Xu Chen's expression from the corner of his eyes.

Perhaps this is one of the few opportunities to chat in so many days, he pursed his lips, half-truth, half-truth, and said softly, tentatively but sincerely: "You don't have to be burdened, I just do this if I like it."

The air was quiet for a few beats.

Xu Chen suddenly didn't know what to say.

He glanced to the side, and the expression on Ji Fei's face was rare and gentle. After a moment of stunned, Xu Chen quickly looked away, his Adam's apple moved, and he let out a dry "oh".

—

I don't know if it was because of the popularity of the magazine's pictures, or because the character diary impressed the senior executives of Guanying. The next day, Xu Chen actually received a notice from Wang Wen, saying that he agreed with his choice of acting and asked him to prepare I plan to go to the audition on Monday, but the final decision still depends on the opinion of the director and the company after discussion.

After receiving the news, Xu Chen jumped up from the bed in a big way, holding the script for several days without letting go, excited and nervous at the same time.

The competition in the entertainment industry was too fierce, and he knew in his heart that although he was the first choice for this role, there were still countless people waiting for this opportunity.

After staying up for several nights in a row, memorizing lines, watching DVDs, trying to figure out and analyze the characters, the audition day came in the blink of an eye.

The audition took place in a high-end hotel. The area was full of relatively small film and television companies and casting studios. There were many nanny cars and RVs parked on both sides of the road.

Fifteen minutes before the agreed time, director Xu Xiaodong and several colleagues had already arrived, sitting in the large conference room on the second floor, waiting for the actors to come to interview.

Xu Xiaodong flipped through the information about Xu Chen in his hand, with a slight sense of surprise on his face - he didn't come from a major, he had acted in several dramas, and he had never acted in a role that could stand alone. He Fei, the male number six in this "Ten Years".

I don't know what today's audition will be like.

Several other colleagues also whispered aside.

"You look so good-looking, how good are your acting skills?"

"Oh, in fact, good looks are enough now. As long as the acting skills are not too bad, the audience's acceptance is still very high."

"But judging from the appearance, it really fits well. Isn't he the kind of flamboyant and outstanding person in the early stage of the novel?"

"The contrast between before and after is so great, and the whole character has changed in the later period... Can it be acted out?"

"Blackness and blackness, three points depend on blackness, seven points depend on transformation, if you can't perform well, then you can add eyeliner or something to bless..."

Just as he was talking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a tall boy in a thin white sweater appeared at the door. His attire was simple, but he was dazzlingly handsome at first glance.

"Hello, teachers."

Xu Chen greeted him as he walked into the meeting room.

"Hello." Xu Xiaodong replied, looking up at Xu Chen.

The appearance part really passed the test.The body shape is very good, the shoulders are wide enough, and there is no need to increase the height. It should be very handsome in ancient clothes.

Thinking of this, he closed the file and said, "I probably know about your previous experiences and roles. This should be the first time you have taken on such a heavy role, right?"

Xu Chen said sincerely, "Yes."

Xu Xiaodong then asked: "What do you think you will be like when you are acting, do you use more skills or invest more in emotion?"

Xu Chen said: "Emotional investment is more."

Xu Xiaodong said "hmm": "You know the role this time. It is a character with a bit of contrast between the front and the back. It is difficult to let go in the early stage and restrain in the later stage. Do you think your own character can be better interpreted?" Part of it?"

Xu Chen was also frank, and smiled a little: "It should be the early stage."

Xu Xiaodong was surprised at Xu Chen's calmness.

He deliberately threw a few comparison questions between the two alternatives, following the path of a stressful interview.Unexpectedly, the other party was very calm, his eyes didn't look east and west, and he didn't button his trousers to dig out his pockets. As a newcomer who debuted not long ago, his ability to withstand pressure is top-notch.

"Okay, the emotional changes in the later stage of this character are very complicated, so for you, the challenge is actually very big."

Xu Xiaodong flipped through the script and picked a page, then handed it to Xu Chen: "Look at the scene I've folded up, and if you think it's okay, try acting it out."

Xu Chen took the script and sat down on the chair in the middle of the conference room.

The scene that Xu Xiaodong folded is a breaking point of the plot, and it is also the beginning of the turning point of the whole play.

This is an eavesdropping scene. After Li Yuanjing finished his riding and archery class, he ran to his father's bedroom in a hurry, but heard a shocking secret about himself.

"My lord, I heard that His Majesty praised our Jing'er again today, saying that he is capable of literature and martial arts at a young age, and that he will definitely be a great general who fights for the country and calms down the Quartet."

"It's not a compliment, it's clearly a beating. Jing'er's skill in riding and shooting in the school has surpassed that of the East Palace. Your Majesty is so suspicious. How can you make him bear it? Hey... no Mention it."

"You mean, Your Majesty has already become dissatisfied? But Jing'er is just at a young age when she is high-spirited, so she doesn't know how to hide her clumsiness."

"Jing'er's bloodline predestined him to be an extraordinary person. Since I chose to rescue his mother from that palace change, I knew that the current situation would happen. Now I can only act more carefully."

........

In this scene, Li Yuanjing's character didn't even have a single line at all. He overheard everything from a third-party perspective from the beginning to the end.

Xu Chen did not expect to audition for this scene today, because his previous experience told him that when auditioning, he usually chooses relatively mild scenes. Even if it is a conflict scene, there will be bonus lines, otherwise it will be difficult in a short time. Bring out enough emotions.

It's a complete eye test, Xu Chen looked at the script and thought.

The shock of finding out that he is not his own son, the confusion of discovering his true identity, the shattering of his existing stable life, and the anxiety about the unknown can only be expressed through the eyes.

At this time, the given time was almost up. Xu Xiaodong knocked on the table and asked, "Are you ready? Can you try this part?"

Xu Chen let out a low breath, nodded after brewing up his emotions: "Well, you can try it."

Art comes from life, performance comes from experience, and sometimes certain kinds of shock, confusion, and uneasy emotions can communicate with each other.

In his sophomore year of high school, he received a text message from his grandmother, saying that his parents, who hadn’t come back for two years, came back from Paris today. They just got off the plane, and the time was right. It is estimated that the two of them will be there just in time when he comes home from school.

But when Xu Chen excitedly pushed open the study door, the first words that came to him were reprimand.

Scold him for being impractical, scold him for being self-assertive, and scold him for being a child with a bad temper.

The two assistants next to him were reciting their lines. When the emotions reached that moment, the look in Xu Chen's eyes quickly dimmed, the speed of blinking became faster, and great loss and confusion surged up. If you look carefully, you can also find that the eyes are already a little bit famous.

The huge meeting room was very quiet for a few seconds.

Xu Chen blinked, escaped from his emotions, and pursed his lips a little nervously: "Director, is this okay just now?"
