Super star

Speaking of the pronunciation of the lines, Ding Xi is actually not perfect, because of the language problem, it is definitely a little more difficult to integrate emotions than local actors, but his pronunciation is a bit special and his voice is nice, which can make up for this shortcoming.

Most importantly, his performance is very compelling.

Ding Xi has actually studied those European and American movies. Compared with the domestic ones that pay attention to propriety and tend to be restrained in acting, the European and American ones are more wild. , it is easy to appear vain, false, and unrealistic. This is also related to the inherently reserved character of Chinese people, but foreign countries pay more attention to a natural expression of emotion, and their performance methods are much wilder. Shit, as long as the performance is relaxed enough, it is considered more pleasing.

Here, I don't like performances that are too crafty and play tricks, so Ding Xi's performance is also very straightforward.

So bluntly that the assistant director Johansen felt that this 14-year-old child was somehow... scary.

But for the situation that fits the role, there is not much problem.

After passing the audition, the filming will start a week later. He simply lives in Los Angeles and does not go back to China. Ding Yichi puts down his work and concentrates on spending time with his son in Los Angeles. Of course, he also gathers with old friends. .

Ding Yichi and Huo En went out to eat that day, Wang Ke was busy with Ding Xi's "Ice Fire and Dragon Spear" series signing, Ding Xi and He Wanglan stayed alone in the hotel, did not listen to Ding Yichi's words and ordered takeaway , The takeaway pizza I ordered yesterday was unpalatable.

The two went downstairs and wandered the streets, ate at McDonald's, and sat down at a dessert shop.

Only Ding Xi ate, He Wanglan didn't eat these things, he just ordered a glass of ice water.

"Sneeze." He sneezed again.

Ding Xi raised his eyebrows, "You sneeze a lot today, are you going to catch a cold?"

...Although he has never seen this cold since he was a child.

He Wanglan shook her head and rubbed her nose, "There are too many birds of paradise here."

Birds of Paradise are everywhere in the city and along the roadsides.

Because the bird of paradise has a particularly long flowering period, and the mild climate in Los Angeles is very suitable for its growth, there are not a few flowering plants at the moment.

"so what?"

"Don't worry, it's just a little uncomfortable."

Ding Xi frowned, "These...shouldn't they be related to you?" Why do you feel uncomfortable...

"Generally speaking, it's fine," He Wanglan said blankly, "But, I'm already 16 years old, and I'm starting to face sexual maturity."

Ding Xi: =mouth=

Why did Mao even say this so calmly!

"Actually, it's puberty. For human beings, 16 years old is not too early." It can even be said to be late.

Ding Xi: "..." It's always a bit weird to discuss this kind of topic here.

"There are too many birds of paradise in this city, it's easy to have a little influence on the blood of the flower demon mixed in my body, and it's just a little instinctive reaction." He Wanglan really "knows everything" to Ding Xi.

Ding Xi: "..." It's better not to be so curious in the future.

The two had eaten dessert, and when they walked back, it was almost dusk, and the sky was getting dark. Ding Yichi called. After Ding Xi told him that he was going home soon, the two quickened their pace.

After I actually came out, I realized that the domestic law and order is really good. Even if it is midnight and early morning, I don’t have much to worry about when I go to a small stall to eat supper, but here, it’s just getting dark. There are already all kinds of unsafe guys wandering the streets.

This is a country where guns are prohibited.

He Wanglan's clothes are simple, but his temperament is there. There are no cheap brands of Ding Xi's clothes, and almost all of them are bought by Feng Li. He doesn't choose, so he himself doesn't know how expensive those brands mean price.

He doesn't know him, but it doesn't mean that some people who are eyeing him don't know him.

Two ten-year-old teenagers, still yellow-skinned, looked like they belonged to rich people, and they were still strolling in the street at night—they were obviously marked with "I'm a fat sheep, come and grab it"!

Apparently, some people thought so, especially the two young black men wandering down the alley.

Going back to the hotel from where they are now, not all the places they pass are bustling streets, and there are also places without street lights. Go straight through and turn a corner to find the hotel booked by Ding Yichi. It is very difficult to book a hotel in Hollywood during the summer vacation. The best two hotel rooms are too tight. Ding Yichi finally booked this four-star hotel. What he valued was its cleanliness and good environment. It is relatively quiet at night. Ding Xi is here for filming. He hopes Ding Xi was able to sleep better.

But the price of quietness is that its neighborhood is a little quieter than some hotels.

This road was not considered remote at first, but at this time all the shops on both sides of the road were locked. This place is not like in China. Many shops are open until late at night. Basically, in the afternoon, the shops are closed one after another. All the ghosts disappeared, and the few street lamps on the road hadn't been repaired for an unknown period of time, and the dim light cast was useless at all.

Ding Xi and He Wanglan walked side by side on this street like this.

The two black men who jumped out next to them were quite tall, and they were still wearing hoodies in this midsummer. They faced them and said nakedly: "Wallet! Mobile phone! Take out all valuables!"

Ding Xi looked at the gleaming knives in their hands, and said with some regret, "It's not a gun."

He Wanglan said angrily: "Don't you still expect to meet someone with a gun? It will be a little more troublesome."

You can tell from his tone that it's actually not too troublesome.

They were speaking Chinese, and the two black men didn't understand, so they took two steps forward, and the knives in their hands were almost poking into Ding Xi's body.

Ding Xi looked at the two small pocket knives speechlessly, and felt that these two people were not even professional in robbery, but looking at their tall stature, I am afraid that ordinary people might not be able to beat them with bare hands?

When He Wanglan's fingertips started to glow orange, the two black men were taken aback, but they, who were always bold and black and used to robbery, didn't want to run away at all, but directly stabbed at He Wanglan poke!

Ding Xi sighed, and kicked one of the blacks away with a light kick. Compared with such a big boy, Ding Xi's body was only half his size, but this kick didn't seem to take much effort. The guy was kicked away.

The other black man who was facing He Wanglan had also collapsed to the ground, the faint light on his fingertips was like a long and narrow petal-like sharp weapon stretched out, quietly floating in his hand.

As soft and beautiful as petals, it is actually more terrifying than any weapon.

These two black men are nothing, but Ding Xi is still very vigilant, looking directly into the darkness ahead, and He Wanglan is the same.

Originally, they didn't need to use any sharp weapons to deal with such robbers, and they could easily dismiss them, but a white long sword appeared in the palm of Ding Xi's right hand, and on He Wanglan's left hand, floating orange petals were gently spinning .

"Come out." He Wanglan said lightly, this sentence was in English, he was afraid that the other party would not understand.

A figure gradually came out from the darkness, but he laughed dryly, "Haha", "Don't be so serious, uh, that, hey, remember me?" These words were addressed to Ding Xi.

Ding Xi was stunned, and carefully looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the man under the street lamp, but was taken aback, "Are you... that little Taoist priest that day?"

The person who came was the little Taoist priest who once had a relationship with Ding Xi. At that time, he was exorcising ghosts in Ding Xi's hometown, and met Ding Xi in the middle school in front of Ding Xi's grandfather's house——

If it wasn't for him, Ding Xi wouldn't know about master and servant at all...

The little Taoist priest back then has now grown into a young man who can almost be called Yushu Linfeng. He was four or five years older than Ding Xi, and he was eighteen or nineteen years old. The distinctive yellow priestly robe, but an ordinary white shirt and a pair of khaki slacks. His hair is still very long, tied in a bunch and hanging behind his head. Because he looks good, his refreshing appearance is even more It looks gentle and elegant.

...If you don't speak, you can still maintain this immortal appearance.

"It's good to remember!" The Taoist smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked. He had a baby face, and there was a dimple on the left cheek when he smiled, which immediately destroyed the immortal energy, and he looked a little childish.

Ding Xi looked at him a little speechlessly: "...You guys have come abroad to catch ghosts and eliminate demons?" He vaguely remembered that the little Taoist gave him a business card back then, but he didn't know that he was Throwing it there, with his Dao name on it, it seems to be called... humility.

That's right, even if it's called humility, it's weird enough that any Taoist priest would be willing to call such a weird Taoist name.

"It's also a common thing, so it's just a public trip." Unexpectedly, the humble Taoist said directly and triumphantly, "If you want to talk about catching ghosts and eliminating demons, these foreign priests and priests are really not good at it. Their specialty is to serve that... God, you can only pray to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, at most you can sprinkle some holy water or something, it’s not professional, so we have to come for the really powerful ones!”

Ding Xi: "..."

He Wanglan: "..."

I always feel that the style of painting is not quite right.

"So, why are you talking so much to us now?" Ding Xi is not the kind of real 14-year-old boy who is easy to coax.

Daoist Xu Xin looked a little embarrassed at this moment, he patted his head and said: "Isn't this just coming here, I just saw the two of you coming over, hehe, these two niggers are also looking for death, and they are actually asking you for trouble..."

Chatter mode is on again.

Ding Xi smiled: "Well, okay, I see, now we are going back to the hotel, so see you next time."

"Hey, wait!" The Taoist priest humbly stopped them quickly.

Ding Xi didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Well, for the sake of meeting compatriots in a foreign country, can you do me a favor?" The tone of the humble Taoist priest was really flattering.

Immortal Qi or something, can I eat it?

"Be specific."

"Ahem, when I took this case in advance, the uncle didn't make it very clear at all, oh no, the employer didn't make it clear, and I found it a bit tricky when I came here. I originally contacted the senior sister to help me, but... …she went on honeymoon with her second husband…”

Ding Xi: "..." What the hell!

"Don't worry, it won't be too troublesome, it just needs to take up a little bit of your time—well, it won't be more than one night at most." Daoist Xu Xin almost wagged his tail, "Then what, I must not let you help for nothing , you can come to me for anything in the future, catching ghosts and eliminating demons is no problem, asking divination and divination is barely enough, just looking at Fengshui, I can do it too! Really!"

Ding Xi: "..."

He Wanglan smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, the services you provided are not of much use to us."

"How can it be useless? For example, if you take on a play or something, I can directly tell you whether it will be popular or not! Oh, don't worry, my fees are always fair. Well, if you help me, I will be friends in the future, I He has always been very polite and generous to his friends!"

He Wanglan immediately thought about it, he is a new life, don't he know which drama will be popular?

In fact, this is not what Ding Xi accepts when he accepts a movie. He only chooses the scripts he is interested in, and he doesn’t make movies for money. It’s just because he likes it.

Ding Xi sighed, "I'm sorry, I came to the United States to film a movie, I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

The humble Taoist looked a little pitiful, "But I can't handle that thing alone, I never thought that I would die in a foreign land at a young age..."

Ding Xi: "..." This sour look is pretty well acted, why doesn't this guy come to the showbiz? His acting skills are pretty good.

"...At any rate, I once wiped out the grievances of the ghosts in that school, and solved a big problem for a certain family..."

Ding Xi had no choice but to say, "Okay, time and place." He is not a nice person, but the grievances and grievances are clearly the truth. His grandfather, including his uncle and aunt Ding's family, was really helpful with an open mind. Doubt.

Only then did the humble Taoist laugh, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of pride, "Oh, it's near here, isn't this Hollywood, it's in a shed over there, it is said that several extras died Anyway, that place is very evil now, and the evil spirit is a bit heavy. I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome for me alone, but with your master and servant here, there will be no problem at all.

...master and servant...

Ding Xi didn't dare to look at He Wanglan's face at this moment.

"I really didn't expect that Ding Xi, your demon servant, is so powerful. Not to mention the transformation, the refining level of the thing in hand is so high. I'm envious and jealous..." Xu Xin was still chattering.

Ding Xi wished she could pounce on him and gag him.

"It's pretty good-looking. If my senior sister had such a good-looking monster servant, I'm afraid I'd wake up laughing from my dream. Now I despise the ugly beast my master has worked so hard to get her all day long!"

To shut up!

"Time and place!" Ding Xi said almost word for word.

Only then did Xu Xin bluntly say the time and place, "You must come when the time comes!"

Ding Xi stared at him, humbly feeling a little guilty after being stared at by him, but looking back, he didn't say anything, so he waved his hand happily and left.

"When did you know?"

Ding Xi couldn't help but pretend to be stupid.

"...That year, when I went back to my hometown, I was spotted by him."

"Well, at that time, it was true that the aura hadn't fully restrained, so it's not surprising for people with a bit of knowledge." He Wanglan said slowly.

Ding Xi was silent.

"why did not you tell me?"

Ding Xi asked back, "Why didn't you tell me?"

He Wanglan stopped and looked directly at Ding Xi, "I'm afraid you will be... sorry."

Ding Xi: "..."

Fuck, who the hell would be embarrassed about this!He has been taking care of this person's emotions, didn't he say okay? !

"Will you be embarrassed?"

"Why should I be embarrassed!" Ding Xi said directly.

He Wanglan still had that expressionless face, and said lightly: "Okay, master, let's go back."

Ding Xi: "..."

Well, he does feel embarrassed. >///

The shame is too high...
