Internet celebrity boyfriend from heaven
Chapter 37
【One】
"Mr. Zhong, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?" The makeup artist stood behind Zhong Yiran, looking at the person in the mirror and asked.
Zhong Yiran shook his head: "That's it, thank you."
Because this time the make-up team was brought by themselves, they are familiar with Zhong Yiran's preferences, and they can design matching makeup in combination with the character image described by Zhong Yiran, so generally speaking, they are satisfactory.
"Mr. Zhong, please be busy first. If you want to touch up your makeup later, just ask someone to call me." The makeup artist gave a few more words, and after receiving a nod from the other party, she walked out of the lounge.
After Liang Cheng locked the door, he turned around and met Zhong Yiran's eyes. He acted as if nothing had happened, and went to the water dispenser to get a cup of hot water.
"Brother Liang Cheng, did you know he would come?" Zhong Yiran looked at Liang Cheng's stiff back and thought it was a little funny, it was the first time he saw Liang Cheng so nervous.
"No." Liang Cheng thought for a while, and added, "I guessed that a certain artist who came to audition has a background, but I didn't expect it to be Lu Liqun."
"En." Zhong Yiran replied, he didn't care too much, anyway, there are countless people with background in the entertainment industry.
Liang Cheng turned around and looked at him: "I didn't tell you at the time because I was afraid that you would be under pressure."
"What pressure can I have?" Zhong Yiran said with a smile, "I know what you're worried about. It's just that you think the casting should have already been decided."
"...You can't say that." Liang Cheng was reluctant to admit such a fact.
"It's okay, I'm here and I'm already mentally prepared to lose the election." When Zhong Yiran said this, he had thought it through carefully. Regardless of whether other artists have backgrounds or not, he was not particularly sure of being selected because of his own situation. Bi Da, because he has not been in the mood of being a protagonist for too many years.
Liang Cheng stared at him for a long time, and he didn't look away until the other party's cell phone rang, "The cell phone rang."
Zhong Yiran was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was his cell phone, and quickly took it out.The caller ID was "Xu Ze", and the moment he heard the other party's voice coming from the receiver, Zhong Yiran inexplicably felt relieved.
"Have you arrived yet?" Xu Ze has been busy until now and finally took the time to call the other party.
"I've put on my makeup, I'm waiting."
The audition officially started at nine o'clock in the morning, and all artists waited in the waiting room for the staff to call.
Xu Ze nodded: "That's good."
Speaking of this, the two of them suddenly didn't know what to say, they were silent for a long time, and laughed together.
Liang Cheng, who was drinking water, heard the laughter, turned to look at Zhong Yiran, and suddenly felt something was wrong.Some time ago, I simply felt that Xu Ze's intentions towards Zhong Yiran were very obvious, why do I feel that he thinks less now?
When Zhong Yiran hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door of the lounge. Liang Cheng, who had been in a daze, didn't hear it at all. He didn't come back to his senses until the person who pushed the door came in.
"Teacher Liang?" The little girl who came in to notify him yelled several times, only to see that Liang Cheng's eyes regained focus.
"What?" Liang Cheng frowned at her.
The little girl was startled, thinking that she had said something that offended him, she hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Liang, let me inform Mr. Zhong and you that we will be entering the arena in 10 minutes. The first one."
"Got it." Liang Cheng nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the notice was in place, the little girl didn't stay any longer, she smiled at the clock and left the lounge.
Zhong Yiran glanced at Liang Cheng a few more times, always feeling that the other party was a little absent-minded today, but he didn't know how to ask, so he just pretended not to know.
When 10 minutes passed, the little girl who came to inform came again. She took Zhong Yiran along the corridor and went up another flight of stairs to the performance room where the cast was cast.
She silently pointed to the door, signaling Zhong Yiran to go in by herself.
Zhong Yiran knocked on the door three times, only to get a response from the people in the performance room before pushing the door open.
In the performance room, there were five people sitting on the judging panel, the director Ren Jingguo, the assistant director Lin Miao, the investor Ma Yinglian, the head of the editorial department Hua Yong, and the original author and screenwriter Xu Ze.
The moment Xu Ze saw Zhong Yiran coming in, his heart sank.
The makeup of the other party is too in line with the image of the male protagonist in "Dark River". The lapel shirt that I love to wear, the image of the whole person is much more vivid.
"Let me introduce myself first." Ren Jingguo looked directly at Zhong Yiran.
Zhong Yiran's face was calm and his tone was straightforward: "My name is Zhong Yiran, and I'm an artist of Mingchuang Entertainment's performing arts department. This year is my sixth year of debut."
"Do you have any masterpieces?" Ma Yinglian glanced at him indifferently, then lowered her head again.
Zhong Yiran replied neither humble nor overbearing: "It's probably not considered a masterpiece. I haven't really played the leading role in the past. If I say that my favorite movie is "The Seventh Day of Disappearance."
"Here is the part to be played today. I will give you 3 minutes to memorize the lines. Just signal us when you are ready." Hua Yong took out a copy of the script that was under his arm, saying that the script is actually only one page , a total of five scenes, some are difficult and some are easy, which one you get depends on luck.
Hua Yong glanced at the extracted script, his eyes didn't fluctuate, it seemed to be a relatively common part.
Zhong Yiran respectfully reached out to pick it up, and sat on the chair prepared for him in the arena to read carefully.
Because he is a fan of Xu Ze's books, and "Dark River" is one of his favorite books, and he even just reviewed it some time ago, so when he saw the beginning of this page of the script, he immediately thought of the following plot.
And because the screenwriter is related to the original author Xu Ze, the entire script can be clearly found from this page. Except for minor changes and condensed details, the other party retained most of the original plot, so Zhong Yiran only used one page. I memorized the content of the entire page of the script in half a minute.
In the remaining one and a half minutes, he began to let go of all the random thoughts in his mind, and rehearsed the part of the plot that he needed to perform four times in his mind.
Zhong Yiran took a deep breath, returned the script to Hua Yong, and then raised his hand to signal: "Judges, I'm ready."
Ren Jingguo nodded: "Let's begin."
Xu Ze propped his chin with his hands, watched Zhong Yiran take two steps back, and when he closed his eyes for a while and opened them again, his whole person was different.
Zhong Yiran has only four lines in this script, but every sentence is full of nervousness. The whole paragraph tells the whole process of the male protagonist Wang Song preparing the murder props in his bedroom.
"Human heart?"
"It's just such a small piece, whether it's here, here, or here, a little scratch can kill someone."
Zhong Yiran was chanting, as if he was holding some long teaching aid in his hand, pointing to a whiteboard that didn't exist in front of him.A perfect drawing of the human body is drawn on the whiteboard, with all vital organs shown in a detailed and precise manner.
Xu Ze's palms were slightly sweaty, and a chill was oozing from his back. He had only watched Zhong Yiran act once, and that was "The Seventh Day of Disappearance" across the screen. The supporting actor who didn't have a few words performed vividly, but now after witnessing the other party's acting skills, Xu Ze can only think "why this person is willing to only be a supporting actor".
Xu Ze didn't know the reaction of the others, but Hua Yong was sitting next to him, and he could clearly feel the other's trembling arms.
At some point, Zhong Yiran's performance was over, he stood there indifferently, smiling as he did when he came in, well-behaved and polite.
Director Ren Jingguo was the first to speak out: "The performance is not bad, just go back and wait for the results. If you are selected, we will contact your agent directly."
After Ren Jingguo finished speaking, after about half a minute the others didn't say anything, Zhong Yiran bowed: "Thank you all the judges and teachers for your advice."
When he stood up straight again, Zhong Yiran found that Xu Ze was smiling at him, the smile was so obvious that he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Wait a minute." Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Ma Yinglian, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly asked, "Can I remove my makeup on the spot?"
Zhong Yiran was slightly taken aback, and immediately nodded: "Of course."
The moment he responded, several staff members who had been standing in the corner immediately brought makeup removers.
Because of Zhong Yiran's fair skin, the base makeup he put on was rather thick, so he finished all the makeup removal work as quickly as possible, then raised his head and looked at the five people in front of him.
"Every judge and teacher, I have finished removing my makeup."
The other four actually couldn't understand Ma Yinglian's sudden request, they just thought it was because she wanted to see the real face of the young actor.
Ma Yinglian stared at Zhong Yiran's face for a long time, then waved her hand: "Okay, let's go out."
Compared with the others, this move seemed a bit too impolite, but Zhong Yiran didn't mind, he just nodded and thanked again before leaving the performance room.
Xu Ze glanced at Ma Yinglian coldly, and scored his own score for Zhong Yiran on the scoring paper.
The few male artists who came in to perform one after another did not get Ma Yinglian's request to remove their make-up, and only left the Century Film and Television Building after the performance.
Zhong Yiran and Xu Ze made an appointment to have lunch together the day before, so he sent Liang Cheng away and sat alone in the coffee shop opposite the Century Film and Television Building.
Casting continued until around noon, and the last performer was Lu Liqun.
Lu Liqun also put on makeup, and the wound on his forehead was darker in color. After the performance, Ma Yinglian asked her to remove her makeup.
After Xu Ze heard the word "makeup remover", he immediately turned his head and stared at her, without saying a word but his eyes were obviously full of doubts.
"Is there any question for Teacher Xu?" Ma Yinglian felt Xu Ze's gaze, and looked straight at him.
"Is there any special requirement for makeup removal?"
When Lu Liqun, who was taking off his makeup, heard Xu Ze's words, his hands paused, and he acted as if he hadn't heard it, and continued to move.
"It's not a special requirement. I just think that if an actor's original image is too different from the character in the script, no amount of makeup can cover it up." Ma Yinglian looked at him with a smile.
Xu Ze took a deep look at her, and then smiled after looking away: "What Mr. Ma said is very reasonable, as expected, professionals are different."
【two】
Because the casting ended late in the morning, in order to allow the judges to fully rest, the casting time for the heroine in the afternoon was postponed to three o'clock.
After Xu Ze handed over all the score sheets to Hua Yong, he explained to the other party that he had something to do at noon, and then left the Century Film and Television Building directly.
Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, Xu Ze saw Zhong Yiran huddled tightly in a corner at a glance.
He strode over and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No." Hearing the familiar voice, Zhong Yiran, whose back was stiff, suddenly relaxed, "Do you want some coffee?"
"Stop drinking, let's go, let's go eat." Xu Ze shook his phone, indicating that he had already reserved a seat.
"What to eat?" Zhong Yiran followed him and got up to go out.
"I'm not a particular person, do you mind eating Chinese food?"
"Sure, I don't like western food too much, it's too complicated to use a knife and fork." Zhong Yiran was smiling when he said this, apparently in a good mood.
The two walked forward while chatting, because they both wore masks and had good-looking figures, many passers-by frequently looked at them.But because the Century Film and Television Building is across the road, there are often film and television stars around here, and those passers-by took a second look and didn't pay much attention.
The Chinese restaurant that Xu Ze has booked is just at the crossroad ahead and turns left. The business is very good, so we can only make reservations in advance.
When the two arrived at the door of the store, there was still a long queue outside. Even the sub-zero weather couldn't stop the locals' love for food.
"Welcome, do you two have a reservation?" The front desk lady bowed and asked.
Xu Ze nodded: "Yes, surname Xu, phone number..."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The front desk lady checked the reservation record and said to the service staff next to her, "Two, private room."
"Two gentlemen, please follow me." The service staff led the way in front, bypassing the small path in the store and going up to the second floor. The corner is surrounded by bamboo screens.
This restaurant is generally Chinese-style, and the food is famous local dishes. It is often full during the New Year and holidays. When it is the hottest, you need to make a reservation one or two months in advance.
It was a coincidence that Xu Ze called yesterday to make a reservation. He also had the mentality of trying it out. He didn't expect that a table of guests just canceled their subscription, and they had such a suitable box.
"Are you going back after eating?" Xu Ze pushed the menu in front of Zhong Yiran, "Let's see what you want to eat first, I'll treat you."
"No, I'll treat you today." Zhong Yiran inexplicably felt hot on his face, "I've shown you my clumsy acting skills, I dare not look directly at you until now."
Hearing what he said, Xu Ze couldn't help but twitched his lips: "Nonsense, the acting is obviously very good."
"Really?" Zhong Yiran stopped when he was hooking vegetables, and looked up at him expectantly, like a child waiting for praise.
"Yeah, you're very good. When you acted, my back broke out in cold sweat. I was afraid you would come up and give me a knife." Xu Ze joked with him with a smile.
Zhong Yiran was extremely embarrassed by what he said, he touched his face reflexively, and then changed the subject: "Do you want to eat this braised pork?"
"Sure, their signature dish."
"Then I ordered it, and how about this dry fried tofu?"
"It's fine, you can order whatever you want, shouldn't you decide what to eat when you treat me to dinner?" Xu Ze asked him funny.
Zhong Yiran was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense."
Xu Ze especially wanted to say "Are you stupid", but felt that if it was not very intimate, it would be abrupt to say this, so he just cooperated with him in ordering, and he would "mmmmmm" at what the other party said.
After all the dishes were served, Zhong Yiran realized that he had ordered too much, the two of them ordered ten dishes.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhong Yiran couldn't help beating his heart: "How about we eat less, order as much as we can, and pack the rest?"
"Okay, you can take it home, and you can eat it at night after reheating it." After Xu Ze finished speaking, he added, "Don't eat it tomorrow. It won't work if you microwave it once and then reheat it a second time."
"Okay." Zhong Yiran listened obediently.
It was already 02:30 after the two of them finished eating, and Xu Ze was about to prepare to go back to the performance room to continue his role as a judge, while Zhong Yiran chose to take a taxi back by himself.
"Be careful on the road." Xu Ze sent people to the car.
"Hurry up and go back, don't be late." Zhong Yiran said while straightening out the packed leftovers.
"Well, see you later." After sending the car away, Xu Ze put on his mask again and walked towards the Century Film and Television Building.
In the afternoon, it was time to choose the heroine. Female stars tend to have a bigger presence than male stars, at least the makeup team has more people.As soon as Xu Ze arrived at the floor where the performance room was located, he could smell the mixed smell of perfume and foundation floating in the corridor. Because it was relatively strong, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Oh, Teacher Xu is back." Hua Yong, who was sorting out the score sheet, saw Xu Ze and hurriedly greeted him.
Xu Ze nodded politely: "Has Minister Hua eaten?"
"I ate it." Hua Yong smiled, "I ate it directly in the canteen of the unit. Isn't this just sorting out the score sheet, and the higher-ups are anxious for us to appoint candidates."
"Yeah." Xu Ze didn't ask the exact score of the people who came to perform in the morning, but he had a suitable male lead in his mind.
Hua Yong asked him with a smile: "Mr. Xu, isn't he curious who is most likely to be the hero?"
"Has the score been calculated?" Xu Ze followed his words.
"It's almost the same. I roughly calculated it." Hua Yong pulled out two of them, "Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhong's scores are about the same. Now we will see what the other judges think."
"...Hmm." When Xu Ze saw Lu Liqun's photo, his face was pale and he was not particularly happy.
Lu Liqun's own image is indeed more suitable for the leading role of "Dark River" than Zhong Yiran, but compared to acting skills, Xu Ze still thinks that Zhong Yiran is more brilliant, not to mention that image does not determine everything, Zhong Yiran put on makeup In the end, it can still achieve the effect that the male protagonist should have.
Not long after Xu Ze sat down, Ma Yinglian and the two directors walked in talking and laughing.
"I still want to thank the two directors for their love. Xiaogou is actually acting for the first time, and I didn't expect him to have a performance that exceeded my expectations."
"No way, it's already very good to have such a level of acting for the first time."
"Really? I don't understand these things either. Director Lin and Director Ren are professionals." Ma Yinglian said and sat down in her seat.
Hua Yong couldn't help interjecting, "Why are the three teachers talking so happily?"
"It's nothing, I just think Xiao Lu's acting skills are very good." Lin Miao said with narrowed eyes.
Xu Ze listened to their words, and felt a little amused and a little bit aggrieved in his heart, but his own opinion could not change everyone's thinking.
"Oh, that's a coincidence, I have calculated the scores here, and Mr. Xu has seen that there is nothing wrong with it." Hua Yong smiled, "Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhong have the same scores, we just choose between these two. .”
Lin Miao nodded: "Then why don't you take advantage of the 10 minutes before the election of the heroine and discuss it with everyone?"
"Okay, does Director Ren have any ideas?" Ma Yinglian nodded and threw the question to Ren Jingguo.
Ren Jingguo looked around and said objectively: "It's hard to say, both of them are good, Xiao Lu's image fits better, and Xiao Zhong's acting skills are slightly better."
"But Xiao Lu's acting skills are not bad." Lin Miao followed closely.
"Yes." Hua Yong also responded.
Ma Yinglian waved her hand: "Oh, don't praise him anymore, at this age, it's really not good without this level."
"No, no, you are a mother, so you are strict with Xiao Lu." Lin Miao praised with a smile.
Xu Ze looked at the three of them indifferently, knowing that they might have already agreed to give Lu Liqun the back door without thinking carefully, so he couldn't help but sneer.
Hua Yong's back stiffened, and he looked at Xu Ze: "What is Teacher Xu's idea? You are the original author and have the most right to speak."
"I'm not a professional, and I still need to see the opinions of professional teachers." Xu Ze looked cold, "But I know that things like movies are going to be shown on the big screen. When the image of an actor is magnified several times, his As long as there is a slight loophole in the acting, it will become the point of complaints from the audience after dinner."
His words chilled the atmosphere in the entire performance room. Lin Miao and Hua Yong looked at each other, and at the same time they looked at the investor Ma Yinglian. The watched Ma Yinglian smiled and nodded slowly, as if I agree with what Xu Ze said.
Only Ren Jingguo, without any fluctuation in his complexion, said after a long time: "Why don't you all vote?"
"Alright?" Lin Miao asked everyone.
Hua Yong deliberated and deliberated, and didn't know what to say. In the end, Ma Yinglian took the initiative to speak up: "Otherwise, it's up to Director Ren and Director Lin to discuss and decide. I'm the one who pays, and I don't understand these things." .”
"Yes, yes, I can only review and review scripts." Hua Yong echoed.
Xu Ze didn't say a word. When everyone looked at him, he said: "The director can decide, and I don't have any particularly good opinions."
Ren Jingguo nodded: "Well, let's not rush to make a decision. Director Lin and I will go back and discuss it."
"Okay, okay, then... the time is almost up, let's continue to choose the heroine?" Hua Yong glanced at his watch to remind everyone of the time.
"Okay, Minister Hua, please give me the score sheets of Xiao Lu and Xiao Zhong. Director Lin and I will go back and refer to them."
"Excuse me, both of you." Hua Yong handed over the things, and then glanced at the staff standing at the door.
The other party immediately understood and informed the other staff in the lounge to bring the artist to the audition.
Xu Ze was a little absent-minded during the afternoon audition, but he knew that there was no shady scene in the heroine, and the only actress who could satisfy several judges was Qiao Mingming, who was on fire recently.
Although Qiao Mingming made her debut in a family ethics drama, her positioning is narrower than other female stars, but in a crime movie like "Dark River", it is the best opportunity to reverse her image, and Qiao Mingming's acting skills have also been recognized. Unanimous praise from several judges.
"The heroine is Qiao Mingming, right?" This time it was Ren Jingguo who spoke first.
Xu Ze remained silent, but the other three nodded in agreement.
"What does Teacher Xu think?"
"Huh?" Xu Ze was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, "Yes, the image and acting skills are both in line."
Seeing that everyone settled down so happily, Xu Ze suddenly felt depressed for no reason, he really wanted to see Zhong Yiran right now, and hug him right now.
【three】
Walking out of the Century Film and Television Building, Xu Ze let out a deep breath, as if he wanted to let go of the unpleasantness he had seen all day.
"Hello." Xu Ze got into the car and immediately called Zhong Yiran. The moment the call was connected, Xu Ze felt much happier.
"Are you finished?" Zhong Yiran didn't know what he was eating, so he didn't know what he said.
Xu Ze smiled slightly: "Are you having dinner?"
"Yes, eat hot pot." Zhong Yiran probably put his phone away and approached the boiling pot, "Do you hear the sound?"
"Understood." Xu Ze asked him with a smile, "Then what about the dishes you brought back at noon?"
"Huh? I've made a fuss about it. I use it for shabu-shabu." Zhong Yiran thought for a while and asked him, "Would you like to answer the video call? I can show you, ah... where are you now? Is there enough traffic?" ?”
"Enough, I have unlimited data." Xu Ze said, hung up the phone, and had a video with Zhong Yiran, dare the data is not enough?Even if it costs money, use it!
The other end quickly made a video call, and Zhong Yiran pointed his mobile phone into the pot: "See? This is the leftover braised pork at noon, this is the crab claw, and this, all of which are leftovers from our lunch. "
"You eat hot pot, Liang Cheng won't tell you?" Xu Ze could see clearly, Zhong Yiran cleared all the soup ingredients, and the hot pot base tasted rather strong, so After rinsing, there is almost no original taste left, but it looks like an authentic hot pot.
"No, he doesn't care about me." Zhong Yiran said, and asked him again, "Have you eaten yet? Why do I think you are still sitting in the car?"
"Yes, just finished, ready to go back."
"Then do you want to..." Zhong Yiran originally wanted to invite Xu Ze to eat hot pot at his home, but he remembered that the two lived far away, so he stopped talking in the middle.
Xu Ze naturally guessed what the other party wanted to say, nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go now!"
"what?"
"Didn't you invite me to your house for dinner?"
"Yes, but your home is far away, at night..."
"The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge. My car has already started and I can't stop." Xu Ze pretended to step on the gas pedal, and shook the steering wheel twice, directly making Zhong Yiran laugh.
"Then hurry up, or I'll finish eating." Zhong Yiran hung up the video call after finishing speaking.
Xu Ze really started the car this time and went to Zhong Yiran's house, because with hope, all the unhappiness just now seemed to have disappeared.
When the car arrived at Zhong Yiran's community, it was not yet six o'clock, and half an hour had passed since Zhong Yiran had a video call with him.
While closing the car door, Xu Ze thought, maybe the other party is already full?
Taking the elevator to the thirteenth floor, Xu Ze rang the doorbell twice, then stood and waited for the other party to open the door.
Zhong Yiran, who was doing food and broadcasting, was taken aback, the bullet screen of the live broadcast was full of——
"However, is there someone from home?"
"I thought it was broadcast live at the company!"
"Of course, go and open the door, who is here?"
"Did you invite guests to do food and broadcast together?"
"It's been a long time since I watched Ranran's live broadcast!"
"Open the door, your doorbell is ringing!"
……
Zhong Yiran thought of Xu Ze, looked at the time again, and found that it was already six o'clock, unexpectedly half an hour had passed so quickly.It's not easy for him to turn off the live broadcast, because after receiving a call from Liang Cheng, the other party knew that he was eating hot pot, and was forced to do a live broadcast to consolidate his popularity.
Because he hasn't done a live broadcast for too long, the fans are clamoring to watch the food and broadcast, and the suggestion letter has been sent to the company's mailbox.
He promised Liang Cheng to broadcast for an hour, and now only 10 minutes have passed.
Zhong Yiran panicked and said to the fans in the live broadcast room: "I'm going to open the door, everyone, wait a moment, I'll be right back!"
Fans all said it was okay, some people saw that he didn't mention who knocked on the door, and thought it was a courier or something.
When the door opened, Xu Ze was standing and wanted to send a message to Zhong Yiran, he thought that the other party hadn't heard the doorbell.
"Good evening." Xu Ze greeted with a smile.
Zhong Yiran's eyes wandered a little, and he responded reflexively: "Good evening, you're here so soon?"
"That's right." Xu Ze gave him a strange look, "What's the matter? Are you suddenly in trouble? If it's inconvenient, I'll go back first."
"No, no, no!" Zhong Yiran hurriedly stopped him, and the other party drove over for half an hour, and it was obvious that he had invited him, so it was really wrong to drive him back, "That... tell you something."
"Huh?" Xu Ze raised his voice at the end.
Zhong Yiran folded his hands and pinched each other several times before speaking: "I'm doing food and broadcasting, and the company requires one hour."
"Ah... I understand." Xu Ze nodded, "Then I'd better go back first."
Zhong Yiran was in a hurry: "That's not what I meant, cough... I've already invited you, how can you go back? Besides, I can't finish eating by myself."
"Okay, I know." Xu Ze rubbed Zhong Yiran's head, "If you don't go back, don't worry, I will pretend well, don't worry."
After hearing his words, Zhong Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little uncomfortable, trying to suppress the strange feeling, he directly brought the other party into the room.
"I'm back." Zhong Yiran said as he sat down on the floor heating again, "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting, I have brought you a special guest."
——"Is it really a guest?"
"Hahaha, seeing you've been away for so long, I thought it was the courier boy!"
"Wait for me, I thought it was a courier too!"
"Curious about who the guest is [expecting]"
"Cough." Zhong Yiran coughed lightly, and beckoned to Xu Ze, "Come here."
"Wait a minute, I'll warm up some milk." Xu Ze was indeed heating up milk. He hadn't drank water all day, and he was extremely thirsty. The refrigerator at Zhong Yiran's house was filled with the things he left here to take care of him when he caught a cold. He bought it at the time, and there were still four or five bottles of milk in it, so he just poured it out and warmed it up.
——"Fuck, I seem to hear a man's voice!"
"It's a man's voice!"
"Duck, wouldn't it be... Yishui?"
"Mom, someone abused a dog here!"
Zhong Yiran glanced at the barrage, saw the things posted by these people, felt inexplicably hot on his face, he couldn't help waving his hands: "Wait a minute, the people haven't come yet, so you can't judge so casually."
"Judge what?" Xu Ze came over with the milk, and handed a cup to Zhong Yiran.
Zhong Yiran answered in a daze, and said "thank you" before taking a sip: "They are guessing who you are."
——"But you are too bad! We didn't guess!"
"No guess! I already know who it is!"
"Me! We! No! Yes! Guess!"
Because Xu Ze was standing, he leaned down slightly to look at the barrage, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't bully him all the time."
Zhong Yiran's face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
The words "It's over, it's over" are all in the barrage, and some even said that Zhong Yiran's little daughter-in-law is too obvious.
Xu Ze sat next to him and picked up a piece of braised pork for him: "After eating this big piece, eat something else. If you eat too much lean meat, you won't be able to digest it at night."
"En." Zhong Yiran nodded.
"Eat more green vegetables, and less spicy ones, even though I know your milky skin doesn't get acne." Xu Ze picked up some green vegetables for him.
"En." Zhong Yiran nodded again.
"This fish is not bad. Didn't you say you like it at noon? Eat more." Xu Ze picked up another piece of fish for him and shaved off the fishbone.
"En." Zhong Yiran nodded for the third time.
"Don't drink Coke, you won't be able to sleep at night if you drink too much soda." Seeing a glass of Coke on the table, Xu Ze took it aside for him.
"I haven't drunk yet." Zhong Yiran protested softly.
"Drink milk, good boy." Xu Ze couldn't help but raised his hand to rub his hair, "Drink milk so you can sleep."
"En." Zhong Yiran nodded for the fourth time.
Because of the interaction between the two, Zhong Yiran's eating and broadcasting, which had always been talking about, suddenly turned into a large-scale dog food distribution scene.
——"Hic~ Who knows when I hiccup? Dogs know."
"One day I want to fall in love [grievance]"
"It's terrible, what kind of fairy couple are these?"
"I answered four times, do you want to be so good?"
"Resist it, of course!"
"Don't go ahead, in fact, you have resisted, but the resistance is useless."
Because Xu Ze suddenly joined Zhong Yiran's eating and broadcasting, there was a lot of excitement on Weibo.Originally, fans of "Yi Shui" had never seen his face, but since Da Zhong Yiran and "Yi Shui" made their relationship public, their favorite chance to show their faces suddenly changed from zero to unlimited times!
Originally, there were only Zhong Yiran's fans in the live broadcast room, but after a while, many Xu Ze's fans also came in.
Some book fans are real book fans, constantly asking questions about whether "Dark River" has sold the movie or not, and some book fans are also human fans, and when they see Xu Ze, they lose their souls.
——"Yi Shui Dada is not only talented, but also good-looking. It's suffocating."
"The legs are 1.8 meters long."
"Legs from the neck down?"
"Hahahaha and we just happen to have the cutest height difference!"
"I'm envious! My boyfriend is a second-class disabled!"
"Wait up front! Does your boyfriend know you say that about him hahaha!"
Zhong Yiran glanced at the barrage, and found that after Xu Ze joined the live broadcast, the barrage had completely started to let himself go.He couldn't help reminding: "We are eating and broadcasting here, I will continue to tell you how to eat hot pot to be delicious!"
——"Say it, say it!"
"Hahaha, I'm going to be angry!"
"Knock cute!"
"[shy]"
"Stop, stop!" Zhong Yiran hurriedly prevented the topic from developing in a strange direction, "I didn't tell you at the beginning that these dishes are actually leftovers from lunch, and now this hot pot meal is to use the leftovers. You can also use the leftovers If you cook a hot pot with vegetables, there is a lot of soup like this one, pour the soup, rinse it for a while, and you can eat it."
"It's amazing, right? I also think that it won't be wasted, and it can also fill you up." Zhong Yiran wanted to continue, but suddenly saw someone on the barrage asking him who he went to have lunch with, and he was almost ashamed. Reflexively replied, "Go with him."
Xu Ze, who was being called, picked up a chopstick of vegetables and wanted to put them in Zhong Yiran's bowl. He turned around and saw Zhong Yiran taking a sip of milk from a cup, as if he was trying to cover up his nervousness.
The white milk stain at the corner of the mouth is really attractive, Xu Ze couldn't hold back after all, leaned forward and kissed that spot.
The author has something to say: It’s late today, I’m too busy during the day _(:з"∠)_
Happy New Years Eve everyone!When I wake up tomorrow, I will give out red envelopes to everyone~ I love you all! -[-]-
"Mr. Zhong, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?" The makeup artist stood behind Zhong Yiran, looking at the person in the mirror and asked.
Zhong Yiran shook his head: "That's it, thank you."
Because this time the make-up team was brought by themselves, they are familiar with Zhong Yiran's preferences, and they can design matching makeup in combination with the character image described by Zhong Yiran, so generally speaking, they are satisfactory.
"Mr. Zhong, please be busy first. If you want to touch up your makeup later, just ask someone to call me." The makeup artist gave a few more words, and after receiving a nod from the other party, she walked out of the lounge.
After Liang Cheng locked the door, he turned around and met Zhong Yiran's eyes. He acted as if nothing had happened, and went to the water dispenser to get a cup of hot water.
"Brother Liang Cheng, did you know he would come?" Zhong Yiran looked at Liang Cheng's stiff back and thought it was a little funny, it was the first time he saw Liang Cheng so nervous.
"No." Liang Cheng thought for a while, and added, "I guessed that a certain artist who came to audition has a background, but I didn't expect it to be Lu Liqun."
"En." Zhong Yiran replied, he didn't care too much, anyway, there are countless people with background in the entertainment industry.
Liang Cheng turned around and looked at him: "I didn't tell you at the time because I was afraid that you would be under pressure."
"What pressure can I have?" Zhong Yiran said with a smile, "I know what you're worried about. It's just that you think the casting should have already been decided."
"...You can't say that." Liang Cheng was reluctant to admit such a fact.
"It's okay, I'm here and I'm already mentally prepared to lose the election." When Zhong Yiran said this, he had thought it through carefully. Regardless of whether other artists have backgrounds or not, he was not particularly sure of being selected because of his own situation. Bi Da, because he has not been in the mood of being a protagonist for too many years.
Liang Cheng stared at him for a long time, and he didn't look away until the other party's cell phone rang, "The cell phone rang."
Zhong Yiran was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was his cell phone, and quickly took it out.The caller ID was "Xu Ze", and the moment he heard the other party's voice coming from the receiver, Zhong Yiran inexplicably felt relieved.
"Have you arrived yet?" Xu Ze has been busy until now and finally took the time to call the other party.
"I've put on my makeup, I'm waiting."
The audition officially started at nine o'clock in the morning, and all artists waited in the waiting room for the staff to call.
Xu Ze nodded: "That's good."
Speaking of this, the two of them suddenly didn't know what to say, they were silent for a long time, and laughed together.
Liang Cheng, who was drinking water, heard the laughter, turned to look at Zhong Yiran, and suddenly felt something was wrong.Some time ago, I simply felt that Xu Ze's intentions towards Zhong Yiran were very obvious, why do I feel that he thinks less now?
When Zhong Yiran hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door of the lounge. Liang Cheng, who had been in a daze, didn't hear it at all. He didn't come back to his senses until the person who pushed the door came in.
"Teacher Liang?" The little girl who came in to notify him yelled several times, only to see that Liang Cheng's eyes regained focus.
"What?" Liang Cheng frowned at her.
The little girl was startled, thinking that she had said something that offended him, she hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Liang, let me inform Mr. Zhong and you that we will be entering the arena in 10 minutes. The first one."
"Got it." Liang Cheng nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the notice was in place, the little girl didn't stay any longer, she smiled at the clock and left the lounge.
Zhong Yiran glanced at Liang Cheng a few more times, always feeling that the other party was a little absent-minded today, but he didn't know how to ask, so he just pretended not to know.
When 10 minutes passed, the little girl who came to inform came again. She took Zhong Yiran along the corridor and went up another flight of stairs to the performance room where the cast was cast.
She silently pointed to the door, signaling Zhong Yiran to go in by herself.
Zhong Yiran knocked on the door three times, only to get a response from the people in the performance room before pushing the door open.
In the performance room, there were five people sitting on the judging panel, the director Ren Jingguo, the assistant director Lin Miao, the investor Ma Yinglian, the head of the editorial department Hua Yong, and the original author and screenwriter Xu Ze.
The moment Xu Ze saw Zhong Yiran coming in, his heart sank.
The makeup of the other party is too in line with the image of the male protagonist in "Dark River". The lapel shirt that I love to wear, the image of the whole person is much more vivid.
"Let me introduce myself first." Ren Jingguo looked directly at Zhong Yiran.
Zhong Yiran's face was calm and his tone was straightforward: "My name is Zhong Yiran, and I'm an artist of Mingchuang Entertainment's performing arts department. This year is my sixth year of debut."
"Do you have any masterpieces?" Ma Yinglian glanced at him indifferently, then lowered her head again.
Zhong Yiran replied neither humble nor overbearing: "It's probably not considered a masterpiece. I haven't really played the leading role in the past. If I say that my favorite movie is "The Seventh Day of Disappearance."
"Here is the part to be played today. I will give you 3 minutes to memorize the lines. Just signal us when you are ready." Hua Yong took out a copy of the script that was under his arm, saying that the script is actually only one page , a total of five scenes, some are difficult and some are easy, which one you get depends on luck.
Hua Yong glanced at the extracted script, his eyes didn't fluctuate, it seemed to be a relatively common part.
Zhong Yiran respectfully reached out to pick it up, and sat on the chair prepared for him in the arena to read carefully.
Because he is a fan of Xu Ze's books, and "Dark River" is one of his favorite books, and he even just reviewed it some time ago, so when he saw the beginning of this page of the script, he immediately thought of the following plot.
And because the screenwriter is related to the original author Xu Ze, the entire script can be clearly found from this page. Except for minor changes and condensed details, the other party retained most of the original plot, so Zhong Yiran only used one page. I memorized the content of the entire page of the script in half a minute.
In the remaining one and a half minutes, he began to let go of all the random thoughts in his mind, and rehearsed the part of the plot that he needed to perform four times in his mind.
Zhong Yiran took a deep breath, returned the script to Hua Yong, and then raised his hand to signal: "Judges, I'm ready."
Ren Jingguo nodded: "Let's begin."
Xu Ze propped his chin with his hands, watched Zhong Yiran take two steps back, and when he closed his eyes for a while and opened them again, his whole person was different.
Zhong Yiran has only four lines in this script, but every sentence is full of nervousness. The whole paragraph tells the whole process of the male protagonist Wang Song preparing the murder props in his bedroom.
"Human heart?"
"It's just such a small piece, whether it's here, here, or here, a little scratch can kill someone."
Zhong Yiran was chanting, as if he was holding some long teaching aid in his hand, pointing to a whiteboard that didn't exist in front of him.A perfect drawing of the human body is drawn on the whiteboard, with all vital organs shown in a detailed and precise manner.
Xu Ze's palms were slightly sweaty, and a chill was oozing from his back. He had only watched Zhong Yiran act once, and that was "The Seventh Day of Disappearance" across the screen. The supporting actor who didn't have a few words performed vividly, but now after witnessing the other party's acting skills, Xu Ze can only think "why this person is willing to only be a supporting actor".
Xu Ze didn't know the reaction of the others, but Hua Yong was sitting next to him, and he could clearly feel the other's trembling arms.
At some point, Zhong Yiran's performance was over, he stood there indifferently, smiling as he did when he came in, well-behaved and polite.
Director Ren Jingguo was the first to speak out: "The performance is not bad, just go back and wait for the results. If you are selected, we will contact your agent directly."
After Ren Jingguo finished speaking, after about half a minute the others didn't say anything, Zhong Yiran bowed: "Thank you all the judges and teachers for your advice."
When he stood up straight again, Zhong Yiran found that Xu Ze was smiling at him, the smile was so obvious that he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Wait a minute." Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Ma Yinglian, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly asked, "Can I remove my makeup on the spot?"
Zhong Yiran was slightly taken aback, and immediately nodded: "Of course."
The moment he responded, several staff members who had been standing in the corner immediately brought makeup removers.
Because of Zhong Yiran's fair skin, the base makeup he put on was rather thick, so he finished all the makeup removal work as quickly as possible, then raised his head and looked at the five people in front of him.
"Every judge and teacher, I have finished removing my makeup."
The other four actually couldn't understand Ma Yinglian's sudden request, they just thought it was because she wanted to see the real face of the young actor.
Ma Yinglian stared at Zhong Yiran's face for a long time, then waved her hand: "Okay, let's go out."
Compared with the others, this move seemed a bit too impolite, but Zhong Yiran didn't mind, he just nodded and thanked again before leaving the performance room.
Xu Ze glanced at Ma Yinglian coldly, and scored his own score for Zhong Yiran on the scoring paper.
The few male artists who came in to perform one after another did not get Ma Yinglian's request to remove their make-up, and only left the Century Film and Television Building after the performance.
Zhong Yiran and Xu Ze made an appointment to have lunch together the day before, so he sent Liang Cheng away and sat alone in the coffee shop opposite the Century Film and Television Building.
Casting continued until around noon, and the last performer was Lu Liqun.
Lu Liqun also put on makeup, and the wound on his forehead was darker in color. After the performance, Ma Yinglian asked her to remove her makeup.
After Xu Ze heard the word "makeup remover", he immediately turned his head and stared at her, without saying a word but his eyes were obviously full of doubts.
"Is there any question for Teacher Xu?" Ma Yinglian felt Xu Ze's gaze, and looked straight at him.
"Is there any special requirement for makeup removal?"
When Lu Liqun, who was taking off his makeup, heard Xu Ze's words, his hands paused, and he acted as if he hadn't heard it, and continued to move.
"It's not a special requirement. I just think that if an actor's original image is too different from the character in the script, no amount of makeup can cover it up." Ma Yinglian looked at him with a smile.
Xu Ze took a deep look at her, and then smiled after looking away: "What Mr. Ma said is very reasonable, as expected, professionals are different."
【two】
Because the casting ended late in the morning, in order to allow the judges to fully rest, the casting time for the heroine in the afternoon was postponed to three o'clock.
After Xu Ze handed over all the score sheets to Hua Yong, he explained to the other party that he had something to do at noon, and then left the Century Film and Television Building directly.
Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, Xu Ze saw Zhong Yiran huddled tightly in a corner at a glance.
He strode over and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No." Hearing the familiar voice, Zhong Yiran, whose back was stiff, suddenly relaxed, "Do you want some coffee?"
"Stop drinking, let's go, let's go eat." Xu Ze shook his phone, indicating that he had already reserved a seat.
"What to eat?" Zhong Yiran followed him and got up to go out.
"I'm not a particular person, do you mind eating Chinese food?"
"Sure, I don't like western food too much, it's too complicated to use a knife and fork." Zhong Yiran was smiling when he said this, apparently in a good mood.
The two walked forward while chatting, because they both wore masks and had good-looking figures, many passers-by frequently looked at them.But because the Century Film and Television Building is across the road, there are often film and television stars around here, and those passers-by took a second look and didn't pay much attention.
The Chinese restaurant that Xu Ze has booked is just at the crossroad ahead and turns left. The business is very good, so we can only make reservations in advance.
When the two arrived at the door of the store, there was still a long queue outside. Even the sub-zero weather couldn't stop the locals' love for food.
"Welcome, do you two have a reservation?" The front desk lady bowed and asked.
Xu Ze nodded: "Yes, surname Xu, phone number..."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The front desk lady checked the reservation record and said to the service staff next to her, "Two, private room."
"Two gentlemen, please follow me." The service staff led the way in front, bypassing the small path in the store and going up to the second floor. The corner is surrounded by bamboo screens.
This restaurant is generally Chinese-style, and the food is famous local dishes. It is often full during the New Year and holidays. When it is the hottest, you need to make a reservation one or two months in advance.
It was a coincidence that Xu Ze called yesterday to make a reservation. He also had the mentality of trying it out. He didn't expect that a table of guests just canceled their subscription, and they had such a suitable box.
"Are you going back after eating?" Xu Ze pushed the menu in front of Zhong Yiran, "Let's see what you want to eat first, I'll treat you."
"No, I'll treat you today." Zhong Yiran inexplicably felt hot on his face, "I've shown you my clumsy acting skills, I dare not look directly at you until now."
Hearing what he said, Xu Ze couldn't help but twitched his lips: "Nonsense, the acting is obviously very good."
"Really?" Zhong Yiran stopped when he was hooking vegetables, and looked up at him expectantly, like a child waiting for praise.
"Yeah, you're very good. When you acted, my back broke out in cold sweat. I was afraid you would come up and give me a knife." Xu Ze joked with him with a smile.
Zhong Yiran was extremely embarrassed by what he said, he touched his face reflexively, and then changed the subject: "Do you want to eat this braised pork?"
"Sure, their signature dish."
"Then I ordered it, and how about this dry fried tofu?"
"It's fine, you can order whatever you want, shouldn't you decide what to eat when you treat me to dinner?" Xu Ze asked him funny.
Zhong Yiran was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense."
Xu Ze especially wanted to say "Are you stupid", but felt that if it was not very intimate, it would be abrupt to say this, so he just cooperated with him in ordering, and he would "mmmmmm" at what the other party said.
After all the dishes were served, Zhong Yiran realized that he had ordered too much, the two of them ordered ten dishes.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhong Yiran couldn't help beating his heart: "How about we eat less, order as much as we can, and pack the rest?"
"Okay, you can take it home, and you can eat it at night after reheating it." After Xu Ze finished speaking, he added, "Don't eat it tomorrow. It won't work if you microwave it once and then reheat it a second time."
"Okay." Zhong Yiran listened obediently.
It was already 02:30 after the two of them finished eating, and Xu Ze was about to prepare to go back to the performance room to continue his role as a judge, while Zhong Yiran chose to take a taxi back by himself.
"Be careful on the road." Xu Ze sent people to the car.
"Hurry up and go back, don't be late." Zhong Yiran said while straightening out the packed leftovers.
"Well, see you later." After sending the car away, Xu Ze put on his mask again and walked towards the Century Film and Television Building.
In the afternoon, it was time to choose the heroine. Female stars tend to have a bigger presence than male stars, at least the makeup team has more people.As soon as Xu Ze arrived at the floor where the performance room was located, he could smell the mixed smell of perfume and foundation floating in the corridor. Because it was relatively strong, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Oh, Teacher Xu is back." Hua Yong, who was sorting out the score sheet, saw Xu Ze and hurriedly greeted him.
Xu Ze nodded politely: "Has Minister Hua eaten?"
"I ate it." Hua Yong smiled, "I ate it directly in the canteen of the unit. Isn't this just sorting out the score sheet, and the higher-ups are anxious for us to appoint candidates."
"Yeah." Xu Ze didn't ask the exact score of the people who came to perform in the morning, but he had a suitable male lead in his mind.
Hua Yong asked him with a smile: "Mr. Xu, isn't he curious who is most likely to be the hero?"
"Has the score been calculated?" Xu Ze followed his words.
"It's almost the same. I roughly calculated it." Hua Yong pulled out two of them, "Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhong's scores are about the same. Now we will see what the other judges think."
"...Hmm." When Xu Ze saw Lu Liqun's photo, his face was pale and he was not particularly happy.
Lu Liqun's own image is indeed more suitable for the leading role of "Dark River" than Zhong Yiran, but compared to acting skills, Xu Ze still thinks that Zhong Yiran is more brilliant, not to mention that image does not determine everything, Zhong Yiran put on makeup In the end, it can still achieve the effect that the male protagonist should have.
Not long after Xu Ze sat down, Ma Yinglian and the two directors walked in talking and laughing.
"I still want to thank the two directors for their love. Xiaogou is actually acting for the first time, and I didn't expect him to have a performance that exceeded my expectations."
"No way, it's already very good to have such a level of acting for the first time."
"Really? I don't understand these things either. Director Lin and Director Ren are professionals." Ma Yinglian said and sat down in her seat.
Hua Yong couldn't help interjecting, "Why are the three teachers talking so happily?"
"It's nothing, I just think Xiao Lu's acting skills are very good." Lin Miao said with narrowed eyes.
Xu Ze listened to their words, and felt a little amused and a little bit aggrieved in his heart, but his own opinion could not change everyone's thinking.
"Oh, that's a coincidence, I have calculated the scores here, and Mr. Xu has seen that there is nothing wrong with it." Hua Yong smiled, "Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhong have the same scores, we just choose between these two. .”
Lin Miao nodded: "Then why don't you take advantage of the 10 minutes before the election of the heroine and discuss it with everyone?"
"Okay, does Director Ren have any ideas?" Ma Yinglian nodded and threw the question to Ren Jingguo.
Ren Jingguo looked around and said objectively: "It's hard to say, both of them are good, Xiao Lu's image fits better, and Xiao Zhong's acting skills are slightly better."
"But Xiao Lu's acting skills are not bad." Lin Miao followed closely.
"Yes." Hua Yong also responded.
Ma Yinglian waved her hand: "Oh, don't praise him anymore, at this age, it's really not good without this level."
"No, no, you are a mother, so you are strict with Xiao Lu." Lin Miao praised with a smile.
Xu Ze looked at the three of them indifferently, knowing that they might have already agreed to give Lu Liqun the back door without thinking carefully, so he couldn't help but sneer.
Hua Yong's back stiffened, and he looked at Xu Ze: "What is Teacher Xu's idea? You are the original author and have the most right to speak."
"I'm not a professional, and I still need to see the opinions of professional teachers." Xu Ze looked cold, "But I know that things like movies are going to be shown on the big screen. When the image of an actor is magnified several times, his As long as there is a slight loophole in the acting, it will become the point of complaints from the audience after dinner."
His words chilled the atmosphere in the entire performance room. Lin Miao and Hua Yong looked at each other, and at the same time they looked at the investor Ma Yinglian. The watched Ma Yinglian smiled and nodded slowly, as if I agree with what Xu Ze said.
Only Ren Jingguo, without any fluctuation in his complexion, said after a long time: "Why don't you all vote?"
"Alright?" Lin Miao asked everyone.
Hua Yong deliberated and deliberated, and didn't know what to say. In the end, Ma Yinglian took the initiative to speak up: "Otherwise, it's up to Director Ren and Director Lin to discuss and decide. I'm the one who pays, and I don't understand these things." .”
"Yes, yes, I can only review and review scripts." Hua Yong echoed.
Xu Ze didn't say a word. When everyone looked at him, he said: "The director can decide, and I don't have any particularly good opinions."
Ren Jingguo nodded: "Well, let's not rush to make a decision. Director Lin and I will go back and discuss it."
"Okay, okay, then... the time is almost up, let's continue to choose the heroine?" Hua Yong glanced at his watch to remind everyone of the time.
"Okay, Minister Hua, please give me the score sheets of Xiao Lu and Xiao Zhong. Director Lin and I will go back and refer to them."
"Excuse me, both of you." Hua Yong handed over the things, and then glanced at the staff standing at the door.
The other party immediately understood and informed the other staff in the lounge to bring the artist to the audition.
Xu Ze was a little absent-minded during the afternoon audition, but he knew that there was no shady scene in the heroine, and the only actress who could satisfy several judges was Qiao Mingming, who was on fire recently.
Although Qiao Mingming made her debut in a family ethics drama, her positioning is narrower than other female stars, but in a crime movie like "Dark River", it is the best opportunity to reverse her image, and Qiao Mingming's acting skills have also been recognized. Unanimous praise from several judges.
"The heroine is Qiao Mingming, right?" This time it was Ren Jingguo who spoke first.
Xu Ze remained silent, but the other three nodded in agreement.
"What does Teacher Xu think?"
"Huh?" Xu Ze was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, "Yes, the image and acting skills are both in line."
Seeing that everyone settled down so happily, Xu Ze suddenly felt depressed for no reason, he really wanted to see Zhong Yiran right now, and hug him right now.
【three】
Walking out of the Century Film and Television Building, Xu Ze let out a deep breath, as if he wanted to let go of the unpleasantness he had seen all day.
"Hello." Xu Ze got into the car and immediately called Zhong Yiran. The moment the call was connected, Xu Ze felt much happier.
"Are you finished?" Zhong Yiran didn't know what he was eating, so he didn't know what he said.
Xu Ze smiled slightly: "Are you having dinner?"
"Yes, eat hot pot." Zhong Yiran probably put his phone away and approached the boiling pot, "Do you hear the sound?"
"Understood." Xu Ze asked him with a smile, "Then what about the dishes you brought back at noon?"
"Huh? I've made a fuss about it. I use it for shabu-shabu." Zhong Yiran thought for a while and asked him, "Would you like to answer the video call? I can show you, ah... where are you now? Is there enough traffic?" ?”
"Enough, I have unlimited data." Xu Ze said, hung up the phone, and had a video with Zhong Yiran, dare the data is not enough?Even if it costs money, use it!
The other end quickly made a video call, and Zhong Yiran pointed his mobile phone into the pot: "See? This is the leftover braised pork at noon, this is the crab claw, and this, all of which are leftovers from our lunch. "
"You eat hot pot, Liang Cheng won't tell you?" Xu Ze could see clearly, Zhong Yiran cleared all the soup ingredients, and the hot pot base tasted rather strong, so After rinsing, there is almost no original taste left, but it looks like an authentic hot pot.
"No, he doesn't care about me." Zhong Yiran said, and asked him again, "Have you eaten yet? Why do I think you are still sitting in the car?"
"Yes, just finished, ready to go back."
"Then do you want to..." Zhong Yiran originally wanted to invite Xu Ze to eat hot pot at his home, but he remembered that the two lived far away, so he stopped talking in the middle.
Xu Ze naturally guessed what the other party wanted to say, nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go now!"
"what?"
"Didn't you invite me to your house for dinner?"
"Yes, but your home is far away, at night..."
"The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge. My car has already started and I can't stop." Xu Ze pretended to step on the gas pedal, and shook the steering wheel twice, directly making Zhong Yiran laugh.
"Then hurry up, or I'll finish eating." Zhong Yiran hung up the video call after finishing speaking.
Xu Ze really started the car this time and went to Zhong Yiran's house, because with hope, all the unhappiness just now seemed to have disappeared.
When the car arrived at Zhong Yiran's community, it was not yet six o'clock, and half an hour had passed since Zhong Yiran had a video call with him.
While closing the car door, Xu Ze thought, maybe the other party is already full?
Taking the elevator to the thirteenth floor, Xu Ze rang the doorbell twice, then stood and waited for the other party to open the door.
Zhong Yiran, who was doing food and broadcasting, was taken aback, the bullet screen of the live broadcast was full of——
"However, is there someone from home?"
"I thought it was broadcast live at the company!"
"Of course, go and open the door, who is here?"
"Did you invite guests to do food and broadcast together?"
"It's been a long time since I watched Ranran's live broadcast!"
"Open the door, your doorbell is ringing!"
……
Zhong Yiran thought of Xu Ze, looked at the time again, and found that it was already six o'clock, unexpectedly half an hour had passed so quickly.It's not easy for him to turn off the live broadcast, because after receiving a call from Liang Cheng, the other party knew that he was eating hot pot, and was forced to do a live broadcast to consolidate his popularity.
Because he hasn't done a live broadcast for too long, the fans are clamoring to watch the food and broadcast, and the suggestion letter has been sent to the company's mailbox.
He promised Liang Cheng to broadcast for an hour, and now only 10 minutes have passed.
Zhong Yiran panicked and said to the fans in the live broadcast room: "I'm going to open the door, everyone, wait a moment, I'll be right back!"
Fans all said it was okay, some people saw that he didn't mention who knocked on the door, and thought it was a courier or something.
When the door opened, Xu Ze was standing and wanted to send a message to Zhong Yiran, he thought that the other party hadn't heard the doorbell.
"Good evening." Xu Ze greeted with a smile.
Zhong Yiran's eyes wandered a little, and he responded reflexively: "Good evening, you're here so soon?"
"That's right." Xu Ze gave him a strange look, "What's the matter? Are you suddenly in trouble? If it's inconvenient, I'll go back first."
"No, no, no!" Zhong Yiran hurriedly stopped him, and the other party drove over for half an hour, and it was obvious that he had invited him, so it was really wrong to drive him back, "That... tell you something."
"Huh?" Xu Ze raised his voice at the end.
Zhong Yiran folded his hands and pinched each other several times before speaking: "I'm doing food and broadcasting, and the company requires one hour."
"Ah... I understand." Xu Ze nodded, "Then I'd better go back first."
Zhong Yiran was in a hurry: "That's not what I meant, cough... I've already invited you, how can you go back? Besides, I can't finish eating by myself."
"Okay, I know." Xu Ze rubbed Zhong Yiran's head, "If you don't go back, don't worry, I will pretend well, don't worry."
After hearing his words, Zhong Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little uncomfortable, trying to suppress the strange feeling, he directly brought the other party into the room.
"I'm back." Zhong Yiran said as he sat down on the floor heating again, "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting, I have brought you a special guest."
——"Is it really a guest?"
"Hahaha, seeing you've been away for so long, I thought it was the courier boy!"
"Wait for me, I thought it was a courier too!"
"Curious about who the guest is [expecting]"
"Cough." Zhong Yiran coughed lightly, and beckoned to Xu Ze, "Come here."
"Wait a minute, I'll warm up some milk." Xu Ze was indeed heating up milk. He hadn't drank water all day, and he was extremely thirsty. The refrigerator at Zhong Yiran's house was filled with the things he left here to take care of him when he caught a cold. He bought it at the time, and there were still four or five bottles of milk in it, so he just poured it out and warmed it up.
——"Fuck, I seem to hear a man's voice!"
"It's a man's voice!"
"Duck, wouldn't it be... Yishui?"
"Mom, someone abused a dog here!"
Zhong Yiran glanced at the barrage, saw the things posted by these people, felt inexplicably hot on his face, he couldn't help waving his hands: "Wait a minute, the people haven't come yet, so you can't judge so casually."
"Judge what?" Xu Ze came over with the milk, and handed a cup to Zhong Yiran.
Zhong Yiran answered in a daze, and said "thank you" before taking a sip: "They are guessing who you are."
——"But you are too bad! We didn't guess!"
"No guess! I already know who it is!"
"Me! We! No! Yes! Guess!"
Because Xu Ze was standing, he leaned down slightly to look at the barrage, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't bully him all the time."
Zhong Yiran's face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
The words "It's over, it's over" are all in the barrage, and some even said that Zhong Yiran's little daughter-in-law is too obvious.
Xu Ze sat next to him and picked up a piece of braised pork for him: "After eating this big piece, eat something else. If you eat too much lean meat, you won't be able to digest it at night."
"En." Zhong Yiran nodded.
"Eat more green vegetables, and less spicy ones, even though I know your milky skin doesn't get acne." Xu Ze picked up some green vegetables for him.
"En." Zhong Yiran nodded again.
"This fish is not bad. Didn't you say you like it at noon? Eat more." Xu Ze picked up another piece of fish for him and shaved off the fishbone.
"En." Zhong Yiran nodded for the third time.
"Don't drink Coke, you won't be able to sleep at night if you drink too much soda." Seeing a glass of Coke on the table, Xu Ze took it aside for him.
"I haven't drunk yet." Zhong Yiran protested softly.
"Drink milk, good boy." Xu Ze couldn't help but raised his hand to rub his hair, "Drink milk so you can sleep."
"En." Zhong Yiran nodded for the fourth time.
Because of the interaction between the two, Zhong Yiran's eating and broadcasting, which had always been talking about, suddenly turned into a large-scale dog food distribution scene.
——"Hic~ Who knows when I hiccup? Dogs know."
"One day I want to fall in love [grievance]"
"It's terrible, what kind of fairy couple are these?"
"I answered four times, do you want to be so good?"
"Resist it, of course!"
"Don't go ahead, in fact, you have resisted, but the resistance is useless."
Because Xu Ze suddenly joined Zhong Yiran's eating and broadcasting, there was a lot of excitement on Weibo.Originally, fans of "Yi Shui" had never seen his face, but since Da Zhong Yiran and "Yi Shui" made their relationship public, their favorite chance to show their faces suddenly changed from zero to unlimited times!
Originally, there were only Zhong Yiran's fans in the live broadcast room, but after a while, many Xu Ze's fans also came in.
Some book fans are real book fans, constantly asking questions about whether "Dark River" has sold the movie or not, and some book fans are also human fans, and when they see Xu Ze, they lose their souls.
——"Yi Shui Dada is not only talented, but also good-looking. It's suffocating."
"The legs are 1.8 meters long."
"Legs from the neck down?"
"Hahahaha and we just happen to have the cutest height difference!"
"I'm envious! My boyfriend is a second-class disabled!"
"Wait up front! Does your boyfriend know you say that about him hahaha!"
Zhong Yiran glanced at the barrage, and found that after Xu Ze joined the live broadcast, the barrage had completely started to let himself go.He couldn't help reminding: "We are eating and broadcasting here, I will continue to tell you how to eat hot pot to be delicious!"
——"Say it, say it!"
"Hahaha, I'm going to be angry!"
"Knock cute!"
"[shy]"
"Stop, stop!" Zhong Yiran hurriedly prevented the topic from developing in a strange direction, "I didn't tell you at the beginning that these dishes are actually leftovers from lunch, and now this hot pot meal is to use the leftovers. You can also use the leftovers If you cook a hot pot with vegetables, there is a lot of soup like this one, pour the soup, rinse it for a while, and you can eat it."
"It's amazing, right? I also think that it won't be wasted, and it can also fill you up." Zhong Yiran wanted to continue, but suddenly saw someone on the barrage asking him who he went to have lunch with, and he was almost ashamed. Reflexively replied, "Go with him."
Xu Ze, who was being called, picked up a chopstick of vegetables and wanted to put them in Zhong Yiran's bowl. He turned around and saw Zhong Yiran taking a sip of milk from a cup, as if he was trying to cover up his nervousness.
The white milk stain at the corner of the mouth is really attractive, Xu Ze couldn't hold back after all, leaned forward and kissed that spot.
