Life is like a play, all depends on kissing skills

On Monday, the swimming pool in the community is basically full of elderly people, as well as housewives who do not go to work and children who do not have to go to school.Everyone stared at a figure whose swimming skills were compared to that of a dog seeing a shark.

Xia Lan kicked off the wall of the swimming pool, dived into the bottom of the water, jumped out for nearly ten meters, and only came up halfway through. She had a beautiful butterfly stroke, muscular arms, a neat back, wide shoulders and narrow waist, and a tall figure. And thin, the skin is white and shiny, like white stripes in the waves.

He swam a dozen laps, rested for a while holding the pool wall, and an aunt floated over eagerly: "Young man, are you a professional athlete? You swim really well!"

Xia Lan felt that it was impolite to talk to people while wearing swimming goggles, so she took them off to reveal her face, and Auntie was once again amazed by a clean, bright and handsome face.Xia Lan smiled and said, "No, I practiced for nearly ten years when I was a child. I originally wanted to take the physical education exam when I was in college."

"Oh, then you went to sports university."

"No, later..." Xia Lan touched her head and smiled embarrassedly, "I took another major."

The aunt asked a few more questions about her major and school, and Xia Lan always changed the subject. The aunt had nothing to ask, and wanted to introduce someone to the young man, but suddenly she had a wrong idea: "Hey, don't you work? Monday daytime , why are you still swimming here?"

Xia Lan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to quickly make up that she was a Taobao store owner, a freelance writer, etc., the aunt narrowed her eyes: "Oh boy, have I met you somewhere?"

Xia Lan hurriedly put on her swimming goggles, and pulled down her swimming cap to cover her face as much as possible: "Let's not talk for now, I'm going back to work, hahaha, goodbye, auntie!"

Xia Lan jumped out of the water like a dolphin under the watchful eyes of a group of elders, elders, mothers, younger brothers and younger sisters, and landed neatly on the shore. She took a step with her long legs and wished she could reach two meters. The elders looked at him enviously, and said "It's nice to be young", the aunts looked at him eagerly and said, "You're so handsome, do you have a date?"

Xia Lan quickly took a shower and saw a missed call from her manager, Mei, on her mobile phone. She was a little excited and dialed back: "I'm sorry, Mei, I couldn't answer it just now. Do you have work?"

Sister Mei taught him a lesson as usual, and said: "There is nothing to announce recently, but I have an appointment for you, male lead, the script has been sent to you, hurry up and go to the interview in five days!"

Xia Lan was elated: "Really, I can play the male lead? What kind of script? TV series, movie?" Well, the movie is unlikely..."Idol drama?"

Sister Mei was vague and said after a long time: "Drama!"

"Drama?" Xia Lan was a little dumbfounded. Although he was not popular, he had been acting in TV dramas all the time, and it was a bit strange that he suddenly acted in a drama.

Sister Mei told him a long list of not being able to get plays, and drama can improve performance skills, and said: "You don't know how good this drama is for you, Gu Zheng knows it, Gu Zheng, the king of drama, and still A professor at the Academy of Film and a director, he plays the male lead in this play, and he is also one of the co-directors!"

Xia Lan was even more puzzled: "He's the leading actor? Didn't you mean I'm..."

Sister Mei quickly said a long list of benefits.

At this moment, Xia Lan was wiping her hair with her bare upper body in the locker room. A man in swimming trunks came over, looked him up and down, and smiled at him. His eyes seemed a little ambiguous. When he walked past him, he wanted to look at him. Body stickers.Xia Lan frowned slightly and avoided it, feeling uncomfortable, but tried not to show it.

Sister Mei finally said: "Okay, you can read the script, goodbye!"

Xia Lan hung up the phone helplessly.He made his debut three years ago, and he was a little popular, but he didn't have a backstage, as for himself... Although he is handsome and has a good temperament, he is not astonishingly handsome. Although his acting skills are from a major, he is not bad, but It seems that there is always something that can’t be caught, and it can’t be said to be very good, so it has not been popular all the time. If he wears a hat on the street, no one will know him. The brokerage company doesn’t pay much attention to him.

Drama.Xia Lan thought.Drama is drama.

He didn't think so after reading the script.

He flipped through it several times, and called Sister Mei again, and finally confirmed: A romantic drama between men and women?Is it so open in this day and age, or is there such a thing? !

Sister Mei: "Why, you don't want to pick it up?"

"I'm a straight guy...and there are kissing scenes, I'll go, there are a lot of kissing scenes!"

Sister Mei: "If you're filming a Tanmei TV series, there will be bed scenes!"

"Would you like to answer it or not!" Sister Mei left a few words and hung up the phone.

Xia Lan lay on the bed, panting for a while, almost dropped the computer, thinking: At worst, I won't be an actress!I thought again: When can I change the brokerage company?In the end, I found that I still can't let go of acting, and I don't have any other skills. Could it be that I want to be a swimming coach?There are still two years left in the agency contract, especially...

Xia Lan's mother sent a text message: How is Xiaoshanfeng doing?Do you have any money?What new play is there recently?Mom is your loyal audience!

His name is Xia Lan, nicknamed Xiao Shanfeng, his mother called him that in front of his classmates, and it has become a nickname ever since.

Xia Lan's nose was a little sore, she returned fine, she was rich, etc., she thought: Let mother know that she is acting in a kissing scene, what should I do?Think again: I want to rent a house and eat, and I haven’t earned money for a while, and I don’t go to work. Do I reach out and ask my mother for money?

Xia Lan's father passed away when he was a teenager. Although his mother had strong working ability and the family conditions were good, it was impossible for an older son who had already graduated to reach out to a hard-working single mother.

He had no choice but to tell his mother that there would be an audition in a few days and he was working hard to prepare.

Dear Mom: Come on Shanfeng!

Also added a very cute color text.

Xia Lan touched her forehead with a smile, and looked at the script again.

He said he was going to act, but he hadn't even passed the audition yet.He put on his glasses and decided to study hard. After all, he couldn't help but choose the job!

After reading the script carefully, Xia Lan was actually shocked. Although it is same-sex love, the plot is beautiful, touching, popular, and has a certain experimental nature.Since it is the first Tanmei drama in China that is allowed to be staged, God, think about it, now many Tanmei TV dramas can become popular, and the drama may also be a hit, which can make him famous.

Xia Lan prepared seriously and went to the audition nervously.

Before he went, he checked another male lead, that is, Gu Zheng, who had set the role of "Gong". His first feeling was that a person can be so delicate and handsome, with an elegant and deep temperament, which made Xia Lan feel that even with this person It doesn't seem so unacceptable to act in an emotional scene.

The audition was in Zhengcheng Theater, and it seems that Gu Zheng is one of the founders.Xia Lan walked into the elevator wearing sunglasses. The elevator door was about to close when it suddenly opened again. A tall man walked in. He was wearing a suit, but he didn't look commercial, but artistic. He wore rimless glasses, sword eyebrows, and Danfeng eyes. , doesn't look shrewd, just very indifferent, but clear, and so handsome that it's hard to look at.

Xia Lan was a little nervous at once, and smiled before saying a word: "Mr. Gu, hello! My name is Xia Lan, and I'm here for an interview today for the role of Cheng Feiran in "Long Light and Dust..."

He also wanted to say that he has admired his great name for a long time, please give me more advice, but Gu Zheng kept his eyes on him wordlessly, looked him up and down sharply, and finally met Xia Lan. He is a little taller than Xia Lan, and his shoulders are also wider. Some have a condescending aura.

She looks so gentle, yet she has such a strong aura... Xia Lan became even more nervous and couldn't continue speaking.

Gu Zheng shook his head and whispered, "You are not suitable."

Gu Zheng's voice is very nice, and when posted on the Internet, some people will say that the ears are pregnant, and it has the moving characteristics of a stage play.But saying this...

Xia Lan: "?!"

Gu Zheng went on to say: "I have known you before, but your acting skills are not very good, besides, there is a big difference between TV dramas and dramas."

Xia Lan: "?!!"

Gu Zheng took a step towards him, and the two of them stood side by side in front of the mirror, one in a suit and leather shoes, so handsome that he could cry ghosts and gods, the other had a bit long hair, and his clothes were not very tasteful, with a dazed look on his face, and a little nervous Egg hurts.

"Look," Gu Zhengwen said politely, "We don't feel worthy, and to be honest, I don't treat you very well..." He made a gesture, as if it meant an incoming call.

Xia Lan: "..."

Xia Lan was angry: what happened to me?Swimming a few days ago, there were men staring at my abdominal muscles discharging!Why can't I die? !

When the elevator arrived, Gu Zheng went out first, looked at Xia Lan, seemed to want to persuade him not to come in, and finally gave him a little help: "Sorry, I speak straight, but our time with each other is very precious. If If you can gain something today, that’s great.”

Then she bid farewell, entered the door, and walked to her office. Xia Lan had no choice but to go to the audition venue angrily, thinking: I must act well, and prove with my acting skills that the two of us can be very "calling"!

The teachers who auditioned included Gu Zheng and a few others, and there were actually many actors auditioning, and there were many familiar faces.

Xia Lan chatted with a younger brother who also acted in TV dramas, and the younger brother said: "Ms. Gu's dramas are always full, especially this subject matter. Think about it, the purchasing power of rotten girls alone is so much." Terrible. This script was written by Mr. Gu himself. Although it is only a first draft, it is also very good. If you can act in it, it will definitely become a hit."

Xia Lan nodded frequently, once again realizing that Gu Zheng had a detached position in the circle.Mr. Gu only acts in dramas, he does not take on TV dramas, and does not appear on the big screen, but he directs or writes many dramas, and he is also a teacher at the Film Academy. He has a wide network of contacts, many students and teachers, and the requirements are very high. This role is really not that easy to take.

Everyone in front of the audition can see that Gu Zheng has no expression all the time, basically everyone will make a comment or two, very teacher-like, but I don't know if he directly said to Xia Lan, "Don't waste the time of both parties" , Xia Lan always felt that although Gu Zheng spoke elegantly, he always had a feeling of "you are wasting my time".

Xia Lan got a not-so-difficult scene. She didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy, and secretly brewed her feelings. When it came to his audition, Gu Zheng glanced at him: "Which scene?"

Xia Lan: "Cheng Feiran chased Mo Chenling to the office."

Cheng Feiran is the receiving party, a handsome and enthusiastic young designer with a little money in his family, and Mo Chenling is the attacking party, a middle-level junior leader who is engaged in scientific research in public institutions, and has a boring closet. , has made up his mind to die alone.

But Cheng Feiran pursued Mo Chenling directly and boldly, making Mo Chenling, who felt that Cheng Feiran seemed very romantic and casual, very troubled, unacceptable, and unable to ignore.

Gu Zheng: "Let's start."

Xia Lan pretended to knock on the door and shouted, "Brother Ling!"

Before the audition, he tidied up deliberately, showing a beautiful face, flying eyebrows and eyes, and he has the temperament of a rich and playful young man. Although he is cautious at this time, he is full of enthusiasm.

During the lines, Mo Chenling hurriedly asked him what he was doing here, but no one gave Xia Lan a role to play, so Xia Lan had to act by herself, stammering and saying loudly: "I, I want to treat you to dinner!"

Mo Chenling: No need.

"Brother Ling!" Xia Lan pretended to run into the door, wanting to pull the other party's arm, but she didn't dare to touch him casually, so she pulled his sleeve down and acted foolishly with her eyes wide open, "Brother Ling, brother Ling! Have a meal Oh, it's not that I want to eat you. I'm just watching you work hard, and the cafeteria here is not very good..."

Mo Chenling was troubled and asked him to leave.Xia Lan seemed to be pushed by someone, and also seemed to be teased by someone in her heart. She suddenly felt a little sad, lowered her head slightly, and forced a smile: "Brother Ling, I...I really just want to have a meal with you .”

"I like you, but I... don't worry. Well, it's fine if you don't eat, I just came to see you, the kind from a distance, I saw you go to work and enter the building, and then I couldn't see you. I'll go back At work, I just came here and wanted to see you out for dinner, but I didn’t see you, so I couldn’t hold back and came in. I saw that there was no one in the office, so I came to you..."

Xia Lan wiped her face: "I'm sorry, am I acting like a psycho? Did I scare you? Sorry..."

Xia Lan said a few more words of sorry, bowed, waved her hand towards "Mo Chenling", pretended to be very happy, pushed the door out, walked faster and faster, and finally leaned against the wall of the corridor, looking like I was about to cry, but after a while I let out a sigh of relief, shook my head, patted my face, although I still had a bitter face, I grinned forcefully, as if very energetic, and strode out, with no visible smile on my face. She was sad, but her back was inexplicably thin and bleak.

After he finished the performance, several teachers looked at each other and seemed to be quite satisfied. Xia Lan looked at Gu Zheng in panic, but Gu Zheng couldn't see any emotion.

A teacher said: "Very good, isn't Xia Lan? You are very handsome, go back and wait for news, the next one..."

Gu Zheng stood up suddenly: "Wait, come on, let's have a fight with me."

This was an unprecedented situation. All the people waiting for the audition looked over, and the teachers also looked at Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng looked at several audition clips, selected one and handed it to Xia Lan: "This one, I'll give you 3 minutes to prepare."

Xia Lan swallowed her saliva and took it, her heart beating faster.

While he was reciting his lines, Gu Zheng began to change his appearance.

Gu Zheng took off his suit jacket at this time, and only wore a white shirt with two buttons unbuttoned at the neckline, and rolled up the cuffs to reveal his beautiful arms, looking exquisite and handsome.

I want to come up to act, but I tie the neckline to the top, and the sleeves are rolled down, but the cuff buttons are not fastened. There is a feeling of being upright but relaxed. Then I took off the rimless glasses and asked another teacher to borrow a pair. Putting on the black-framed glasses, the originally straight back was slightly bent, as if he was not used to the tall figure that always made him stand out from the crowd, but he was relaxed and comfortable, and his hair was messed up. , and some elegant temperament.

Gu Zheng stepped forward and smiled at Xia Lan. He was very gentle and distanced. He was very handsome but he didn't think he was handsome. He didn't show his personality or express his opinions in personnel affairs. Mo Chenling.

Gu Zheng: "Are you ready?"

Xia Lan put away the audition footage and nodded hastily.

In this part, Cheng Feiran has been chasing Mo Chenling for a while, and Mo Chenling is also tempted, but he is still unwilling to get out of his own pace, unwilling to fall into the unreliable love of a very unreliable young man, and desperately resists.

Xia Lan walked into the bar sullenly. She originally wanted to leave the bar where she used to hang out and drink a few glasses of wine quietly. Unexpectedly, after drinking for a while, she saw Gu Zheng walking in. But he found that he was not alone, and there was a friend who was also gay behind him.

Of course, there was this friend in the script, but no one came up to support the play, so I had to rely on imagination.

Xia Lan immediately became angry. Taking advantage of her alcohol, she stepped forward to block the person, and said in a low voice with hatred, "Mo Chenling, didn't you say..."

Gu Zheng originally had a smile in the corner of his eyes, but now he was stunned, showing a trace of inexplicable innocence: "Cheng Feiran, why do you..."

"Isn't it that you can't talk about drinking? Why did you come out with someone else? And..." Xia Lan glared at the "other person" who could only exist by imagination, stepped forward and grabbed his collar, "Who are you? What's the relationship between the two?!"

In the script, another person knew Cheng Feiran and knew that he was chasing Mo Chenling, so he hurriedly stated that he had nothing to do with Mo Chenling.

"Cheng Feiran!" Gu Zheng grabbed Xia Lan's wrist and pulled him away. The momentum at that moment shocked Xia Lan and the actors around him who were auditioning. The top stage actors have strong skills , any sound can reverberate in the huge theater.

Xia Lan still wanted to struggle and refused to let go of Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng had no choice but to pull him aside and said under his breath, "Come with me!"

The two stood by the wall, and Xia Lan covered her face with one hand: "I'm sorry Brother Ling, I'm getting ahead, but why are you..."

Gu Zheng grabbed his wrist and said in a "whispered" but still quite clear voice: "He Ping and I are just friends, and this bar is not messy, so don't think too much about it."

Xia Lan didn't understand his volume, but the teachers all understood, because the background sound of this part is a bar, which is relatively noisy. Although it will be lowered when the actors are talking, it is still necessary to avoid being overwhelmed by the background sound. This is Gu Zheng's performance at any time They all consider the habit of the stage.

Xia Lan looked at him with red eyes, looking a little pitiful, Gu Zheng's hand holding him tightened suddenly, and his eyes dodged for a moment.Gu Zheng wanted to let him go, and walked aside: "We... really can't have a drink together..." Xia Lan grabbed him, pulled Gu Zheng into her arms, hugged Gu Zheng tightly, and wiped his face Buried in the socket of his collarbone, sniffing, rubbing, kissing lightly, kept calling: "Brother Ling, Brother Ling..."

Gu Zheng leaned against the wall, with no place to put his hands, and was frozen in mid-air. The audience couldn't see the small expressions of the stage play clearly. The performance was for the real atmosphere of both actors, mainly relying on big movements, but Gu Zheng The performance style is delicate and real. At this time, Xia Lan couldn't see his expression, but he still showed a moment of pain and entanglement. He wanted to hug Xia Lan back, but forced himself to put his hand down.

Gu Zheng said in a low voice, even with a hint of tenderness: "Cheng Feiran, let me go..."

Xia Lan kissed Gu Zheng's temples, and said willfully, "I won't let it go..."

Gu Zheng was confused for a moment, but he quickly restrained himself. Although he was a little embarrassed, he pushed Xia Lan away: "You are enough, let go!"

Xia Lan fell on the wall, grievance, pain, disappointment, and unwillingness. However, when he met Gu Zheng's eyes, he was shocked again. Gu Zheng was clearly resisting, but he also appeared to be in pain, mixed with bewilderment, regret, Longing but suppressed, the expression in the eyes is extremely shocking, and if it is presented on the big screen, it will also be full of weight.

Xia Lan was bewitched, and walked up slowly, tentatively supporting Gu Zheng's arm with one hand, gently touching Gu Zheng's face with the other, and softly called: "Brother Ling..." Then she carefully wanted to kiss Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng panicked for a moment, and even forgot to push him, but quickly realized: "Feiran, don't be like this..."

This "flying" made Xia Lan froze all of a sudden, and then pressed Gu Zheng firmly, pinching his chin to kiss him.

Of course, the audition script said that there is no need to act here, after all, it is quite tiring to close your eyes and turn your head to the air alone.Xia Lan stopped at a distance of five centimeters from Gu Zheng's lips, intending to stop for a while and leave after expressing his meaning. However, Gu Zheng looked at him, his eyes became more and more focused, deeper and deeper, with some pain, Still trembling a little, even a little uncontrollable, but slowly leaned over.
