The day when the merman sang live

Lu Nian skipped class for the second time, still under Xudong's leadership.

The other party contacted only to say that there was an episode, and asked Lu Nian if he wanted to try it.After working in the human world for so many years, relying on his keen intuition, Xudong concluded that this crew should be a big production.The live broadcast was just a rocker that Xudong created for Lu Nian. If he wanted to develop better and better, he had to enter the entertainment circle.

The two drove to the recording studio according to the address prompted by the text message.On the elevator, Lu Nian couldn't help tugging at the corners of his clothes, for fear of creases.Xudong noticed Lu Nian's small movements, and said with a hooked mouth, "Don't be nervous, be normal."

"Yeah!" Lu Nian nodded vigorously, telling himself not to be nervous, but when he walked into the recording studio, put on his earphones and stood in front of the microphone, Lu Nian was still nervous after all.

Outside the recording room, Director Xu sat in the middle, next to the producer and Zhu Ye who had just rushed over.Before the audition began, the producer was still talking about promotional matters with the director.The boy in the recording studio pretended to be calm, and everyone saw it.The producer pressed his fist to his chin, hiding the mocking corners of his mouth.It has been said for a long time that this kind of wild way child small Internet celebrity can't be on the stage, but after all, it is Director Xu's fancy, and he can't show it too obviously.When the little Internet celebrity finishes singing, it is estimated that there is no need to say it himself, Director Xu will make a decision.

After waiting for a while, the internet celebrity did not speak.The producer turned his body and leaned on Director Xu's side, with a firm tone: "I said a long time ago that this person is no good. Director Xu, I think we should..."

"Shhh..." Director Xu put his hand to his mouth, and crossed his hands on his chest, telling him to be calm.

The sound engineer did a good job of adjusting the equipment, raised his chin to Lu Nian, and asked him if he could start singing.Lu Nian silently recalled the tune and lyrics in his heart, took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then made an OK gesture.

The episode "Camouflage" of "Illegal Sanctions" was composed by the well-known musician San Chong, and director Xu wrote the lyrics himself.In order to match Zhou Mai's contradictory mood in the play, there is a chant similar to a cappella in front of it, which directly talks about challenging the singer's skills.

It is difficult to express that kind of contradictory and entangled state of mind without certain experience.It can be said that singing this song well is not much easier than acting.Looking at the boy inside, he looked to be in his early twenties.The temperament is fresh, just like a teenager.Such a young man who doesn't have any fireworks in the world can really sing. Is Zhou Mai's hesitation and entanglement?

"The loneliest wanderer in the world..."

"The most desolate thing you can't ask for..."

"I put on a disguise from the hesitation..."

Lu Nian closed his eyes, and there was nothingness in front of him.He is like Zhou Mai in the lyrics, leaving his hometown and stumbled.I met a few people and gave my heart, but in the end I was let down.He also trusted others, but was ruthlessly stepped into the abyss.

Hate it?

should be.

Fallen?

Would love to...but shouldn't.

"I am in the dark, I am against the light, I am looking forward to the dawn, I am looking forward to hope..."

After the hesitation, hope is ignited again.The truth is still there, the innocence is still there, and justice is not dead.

From the hesitation in the first half, to the despair in the middle, to the renewed hope in the back.As if standing in a strong wind, Lu Nian narrated the changes of a man's state of mind, with a strong emotional color.

Lu Nian used his voice to uncover Zhou Mai's layers of masks, and then used his singing to put on a disguise for him.

The lingering sound is curling, endless.

The music stopped, and the air was silent for a long time. It was the producer who broke the silence first.He stood up and clapped his hands involuntarily. Apart from applauding, he didn't know what else to say.

Director Xu looked up at Zhu Ye, this song was Zhou Mai's inner monologue.Lu Nian sang out of his mind, and Zhu Ye was enthralled.Director Xu watched the emotional changes on Zhu Ye's face, and made a decision in his heart - it was him.

It wasn't until Lu Nian left the recording studio that his back was soaked in sweat.Seeing him coming out, Xudong, who was waiting outside the door, pinched his cigarette, stepped forward and patted Lu Nian on the shoulder as encouragement.

"Brother Dong, I don't know how well I sang... My mind was completely blank at the time..." Lu Nian raised his hand and tugged at his hair, his big eyes were a little tangled and dazed .Every time he sang, he would feel like he was floating on the sea, completely unaware of what he was like at the time.

"It doesn't matter, whether you can pass or not, you will be rewarded." Xudong smiled and comforted Lu Nian, not wanting to put too much pressure on him, "In such a short time since debut, you can receive an invitation to audition for a movie episode. Even if it doesn't work..."

As soon as Xudong finished speaking, the staff stepped forward and politely invited them to the meeting room for a talk.Lu Nian quietly followed Xudong, even when he sat down, he behaved like a freshman.

There were already a lot of people sitting in the conference room. When Xu Dong saw the faces of Director Xu and Zhu Ye, Xu Dong was surprised at first, and then overjoyed.The crew with the two of them should be the crew of the recently popular "Illegal Sanctions".Since they were called in and showed up, does that mean that Lu Nian succeeded?

Sure enough, the producer first introduced himself briefly, and then explained the situation.The contracts were all ready-made, and the terms offered were also very good. As a manager, Xu Dong happily signed the contract instead of Lu Nian.

During the whole process, Lu Nian was light and airy, feeling a little unreal.Under Xudong's instruction, Lu Nian greeted the director and producer politely.It wasn't until the producer introduced Zhu Ye that the wandering Lu Nian was hooked back.

"Hi Lu Nian, I'm Zhu Ye." Zhu Ye stretched out his hand to Lu Qi, looking directly at Lu Nian's face with affectionate eyes, for fear of missing any subtle emotional changes in him.

"Well, I've seen you a long time ago." Lu Nian was a little cautious, but he still reached out and took Zhu Ye's hand back.It was probably a conditioned reflex from watching too many movies. When Lu Nian saw Zhu Ye's face, he remembered the scene in the movie where he hugged his girlfriend sadly and cried.His nose was sour, and tears almost came out.

I've seen you before...

Haven't you seen it before?Zhu Ye thought he was talking about the day of the car accident. Just as he was about to thank you, he saw that Lu Nian's eyes were clouded, and he said, "I've watched "To Die To Live" many times, and your performance is really good. ah."

The words of thanks were stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down.Lu Nian was different from the others, he didn't have any intention of climbing high.He signed the contract, said hello to the director and producer, and Zhu Ye, then packed his things and prepared to leave.

Seeing them push the door to go out, Zhu Ye also stood up, politely said goodbye to the others, and chased them out.

Director Xu was listening to "Camouflage" sung by Lu Nian. He raised his eyelids to see Zhu Ye hurriedly leaving the house, pursed his lips, and closed his eyes again.

When Zhu Ye caught up, Lu Nian was just about to get into the elevator.Xudong glanced at Zhu Ye who called to stop Lu Nian, shrugged, and said to Lu Nian, "I'll go down to pick up the car first, you can talk to brother Ye, just come out from the first floor."

Lu Nian nodded, and when he turned around, he saw Zhu Ye looking at him thoughtfully.

Lu Nian still had a good impression of this pearl catalyst.But no matter how fond he is, he is still a strange human being. He blinked and looked at Zhu Ye suspiciously.

Looking at those familiar eyes, Zhu Ye became more and more sure that this was the person that night.He stepped forward, looked down at Lu Nian's hand, and said softly, "Is the injury on your hand healed?" Zhu Ye knew when he thought of his two bloody handprints on his clothes. Lu Nian's hand was cut.When we shook hands just now, when we saw the gauze on Lu Nian's hand, we couldn't help being worried.

Lu Nian only thought that he was injured when he saw the sofa in his hand. In fact, since he soaked in the sea water for a while, his wound had healed visibly with the naked eye.It might seem nice to be cared about by humans, but not so good to be worried about.Thinking of this, Lu Nian raised his hand to remove the gauze from his injury, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's just a small injury, it's healed now."

Zhu Ye wanted to say how it was possible, but when he saw the light red mark on Lu Nian's palm, he had to believe that his wound was really healed.It's only been a few days, and there's not even a scar left. This is too, magical, right?

Zhu Ye didn't speak, just looked at his hands in a daze.Lu Nian always felt a little uncomfortable, he put away his hands in embarrassment, scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Ye took out his mobile phone, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Lu Nian, polite and gentle: "Can you leave a contact information?"

"Oh, of course." Lu Nian nodded repeatedly, and took out his cell phone from his pocket, only to realize that he didn't remember his phone number at all.

Zhu Ye took his mobile phone with a smile, entered his phone number, and called.Save good contacts for Lu Nian, and scan the QR code to add WeChat friends.Seeing that there were only two contacts in Lu Nian's phone, Zhu Ye's eyes flickered and he didn't say anything.

The two got off the elevator together, chatted for a while in the lobby, and said goodbye to each other.

Zhu Ye looked at the closed elevator door, with a smile on his face unconsciously.He dialed a number with his mobile phone, turned around and walked towards the parking lot: "Hey, I've found the person..."

As the car was driving in the night, Xu Dong looked at Lu Nian who was sitting in the back seat with a smirk in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but ask, "Why does Zhu Ye want you?"

"I didn't say anything, I just exchanged contact information with me, and said that I can keep in touch with you in the future." Lu Nian held his phone tightly, afraid that Xudong would say something to keep a distance from humans, and hurriedly added, "I think he's fine. , doesn't seem to be malicious."

"Yeah." Zhu Ye has been in the public eye for so many years, he has always been low-key, has zero scandals, and has always had a good reputation.It is said that his family has a strong background, and the media's evaluation of him is elegant and alienated.Such a person took the initiative to exchange contact information with Lu Nian, probably because Lu Nian sang an episode in his movie.

Xu Dong thought and thought, but couldn't figure out Zhu Ye's intentions, so he just told Lu Nian, "Zhu Ye should be a good person, but you should be careful about everything, understand?"

"I understand!" Lu Nian raised his hand to assure, leaning on the back seat all of a sudden, holding his mobile phone and looking at the two contacts on his contact list with a smirk——

Finally, I have a human friend.
