The full-time male god of rebirth in the entertainment industry

The sky outside the porthole is lightly covered by the gentle night, as beautiful as the universe is at the fingertips.

The sound insulation of the compartment is very good. Although it is on the plane, it is more enjoyable than the average five-star hotel.

Shen Yi's actions were very fast, Zhu Jue had just confirmed it, and a plane ticket was delivered to the door of his dormitory two or ten minutes later. It was a first-class ticket for that night, but Zhu Jue's action was also very strong, even if Ji Jing was with him With a look like he was about to have a heart attack behind his back, he still dressed lightly, and threw him down without hesitation.

Ten hours later, he was standing on another completely different piece of land.

L City is a special city even if you look around the world. Many cities around the world have thriving star industries and a complete entertainment and cultural industry chain, but it seems that no city in any country can compare to the purity of L City. Here, Even ordinary office workers who work from [-] to [-] every day can talk about art history well, and improvisation is no less than that of famous stars.

This is the sacred place that artists all over the world yearn for, and it is also the hell that artists around the world avoid like snakes and scorpions.

Hundreds of years of background have tempered the harsh standards of this city. Many actors who are in the forefront of their own country may only find their place in ordinary small troupes here, and they can be on the stage of the National Grand Theater in l city , its degree of glory is no less than holding up the little dragon man and the little golden man!

Before leaving the airport hall, Zhu Jue experienced a burlesque show. The stage was adapted to local conditions, the equipment was simple, and the space was not large. The music performers were mixed among the passengers coming and going, and even the actors were only a handful of people. There are six of them, but they are full of emotions, and their rendering ability is astonishingly high. Under such a close viewing distance, their performance is still shockingly stable. People who don't know much about art will involuntarily stop and appreciate it carefully.

And this is just a performance by a small troupe.

A brief introduction of their troupe was posted on their cello case. Zhu Jue read it carefully. Even though it was not the first time he came to L City, it was still the same as when he came when he was young and ignorant. A torrent of speech.

The air here is different!

After leaving the airport, he successfully connected with the subordinate sent by Shen Yi. The subordinate was a burly man with a serious expression, and his driving skills were trustworthy. After 10 to [-] minutes, he arrived at his destination.

What Shen Yi said was correct.

The gate of this hotel is facing the National Grand Theatre. The building designed and built hundreds of years ago still looks terrible after hundreds of years. If you have a bird's-eye view at this time, you can find that the whole city The National Center for the Performing Arts spreads out from the center of the circle. Even hundreds of years later, there is still no building higher than it in City L. Looking down at it, Zhu Jue stared at it silently, just like many tourists nearby , this building has a mysterious deterrent force. What makes people awe-inspiring is not its intricate design, nor its legendary history, nor even the power that the whole city bows to its vassal, but the countless people who filled the gate. A hundred years, still timeless, pure yearning and pursuit of art.

This purity permeates the entire building, affects everyone through the air, and Zhu Jue's mind goes blank. Their worries about the script and the movie more than ten hours ago melt away like snow at this moment, and they are hard to find.

Shen Yi came behind him at some point, and looked up at the dome of the National Center for the Performing Arts together with him.

Zhu Jue's voice was extremely weak: "It's really scary, isn't it?"

However, his eyes are also extremely bright, and the brightness is equally terrifying!

Shen Yi looked at him silently for a while, and after a while, she held his hand silently, and the two stood like sculptures at the entrance of the National Center for the Performing Arts for a long time.

After half an hour, they were finally settled in the hotel.

Shen Yi lives in the presidential suite of the hotel, and there are other working subordinates who are also here on a business trip with him, but even so, there is still more than enough space in this suite, so you can come with him The subordinates on a business trip are naturally not ordinary subordinates. At least they watched Zhu Jue pick a room and live in it with his luggage. There was still no strange expression on his face. Maybe they would be more surprised to see a bird fly in. a little.

Inviting Zhu Jue to L City was a whim, but Shen Yi was not an impulsive person, he had already arranged the next itinerary when Zhu Jue was still on the plane.

Naturally, dinner was served in the hotel. After dinner, Shen Yi took out two tickets and took Zhu Jue to the National Grand Theatre.

For this reason, they changed into formal clothes on purpose. It was half an hour before they left the venue, but there was already a large crowd of people at the entrance of the National Center for the Performing Arts. Following the flow of people into the National Center for the Performing Arts, everyone looked very happy under the dome. Small.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but recently a troupe from Huaguo was invited to perform here. After the curtain opened, they were greeted by a familiar local accent.

Since the cultural exchanges between the East and the West began more than half a century ago, pure oriental works like this have increasingly resonated in the Western world. Now, when these ordinary audiences appreciate the performances of the Huaguo Theater Troupe, they have no idea what to do. No cultural barriers stand in the way.

During the intermission, the two looked at the audience with different hair color, skin color and eye color, and stayed quietly for a while.

It wasn't until the rest time was about to end that Zhu Jue said, "The world is big, right?"

Shen Yi glanced at him and nodded.

Zhu Jue laughed and said, "Thank you."

Shen Yi paused, turned his head very calmly, and stared intently at the curtain that hadn't been opened yet.

From the next day, Zhu Jue lived a particularly depraved life.

Shen Yi's work schedule is also very busy, and there are not many opportunities to spare time to accompany him to watch dramas like the day he came. More often, the two of them just have breakfast together and then part ways. Shen Yi goes to work, and Zhu Jue is in l Wander around the city.In the evening, the two had dinner together again, and then went to sleep separately. The subordinates snooped secretly for a long time, and finally had to come to a conclusion in disappointment, except that it was shocking to live under the same roof as the boss. It seems that everything is very pure, and it can't satisfy the heart of gossip at all.

Zhu Jue spends most of his time watching dramas. Tickets for the National Center for the Performing Arts are hard to come by. Every day, there are audiences from all over the world who come here. In addition to the tourists who come to L City, the tickets for some popular shows are almost on sale at 10 It can be swept away within minutes, but Zhu Jue does not have to watch the plays of the National Center for the Performing Arts. There are theater troupes in the streets and alleys of l city. It's more interesting if it's new. If it weren't for Ji Jing's tireless efforts to throw new scripts into his mailbox every night, Zhu Jue would really think he was on vacation in a trance.

Before he knew it, he had already stayed in L City for a week, seven days in a fast-paced circle, enough for a lot of things to happen, "Mysterious Visitor" came to a successful conclusion, and the total box office it won at the end was smashed again Media headlines, Dong Yuanbai did not expect such good market feedback for his preferences. Under the consideration of his friends and himself, he also began to conceive a sequel, and the invitation to cooperate again has been handed over to Ji Jing. Desk, but there is still a long time to wait for the sequel to start shooting. Mystery films are different from simple commercial series. Just conceiving a good story takes longer than ordinary scripts. After all, a good reasoning film must be built on a good story. That's right, so this news is far from being a timely gift for Zhu Jue. What's worse, during these seven days, Kenny Pegg sent the exact news, starting with sorry and ending with embarrassment. Another actor had already been hired for his role, so Zhu Jue saved the trouble of going back to audition.

This news was a big blow to Ji Jing, but to Zhu Jue, who was immersed in the unique atmosphere of l city, the shock was much smaller.

He also did a lot of things during these seven days. He went around the theaters of different troupes, and finally even let him temporarily apply for a small troupe. The show was a very important supporting role. The two of them In addition to the itinerary of meeting and eating together, there is one more thing that can be done together.

Zhu Jue was performing on stage, and Shen Yi was watching on stage. After the performance, the two went back to the hotel together, very harmonious.

"Hey, Zhu, how many days are left on your contract?" A tall blond man in the background wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and called Zhu Jue who was about to change clothes.

Zhu Jue replied while changing his clothes: "There are still two days, what's the matter?" He signed a very rare ultra-short-term contract, which is usually signed by only two types of people, one is still in the observation period Newcomers, the other is actors like him who came from other places to learn in another way.

The blond man shrugged, found a random seat and sat down: "It's nothing, I just feel that it's a pity, the boss wanted you to play the leading role two days ago, and it was because of your contract that it became dirty-you really don't intend to Would you like to stay longer?"

The higher the level of the troupe, the stricter the internal competition may be. But in such a micro troupe, most of them are students who are still in school or office workers with full-time jobs. They live in a community-scale theater. Relying on ticket sales and community donations to maintain the balance of payments, there are countless such micro-theatres in L City. Perhaps because of this background, the relationship within the troupe is also more peaceful. The blond man was in the troupe before Zhu Jue came. Being one of the best pillars, warmly inviting others to take his place like this, is something that would never have been dreamed of in those big theater troupes, but it seems very natural to happen here.

The blond man said again: "Since you appeared on stage in the past two days, our ticket revenue has increased a lot. Are you an actor from Huaguo? I love watching Huaguo movies, but why have I never seen you?"

Zhu Jue shrugged: "Maybe it's because I'm a nobody?"

The blond man exaggeratedly covered his heart: "God! Is the level of Huaguo already so high?! You are all unknown?!" Even if he might be wrong, those who have taken root in the auditorium these days Can you still look away?They have devoted their whole lives to finding good seedlings in these small troupes, and they have a vicious vision and accurate judgment. The one who was poached last time has now shined in the city theater one block away from the National Center for the Performing Arts. Although they How to keep the sense of smell and find the target in the most obscure theater every time has always been a mystery, but who they are looking for this time everyone knows, he believes, if it is not because of the consideration of Zhu Jue's foreign people Because of his appearance, he was worried that he was just here to play, and these people had already handed over their business cards.

"Honestly, Zhu." The blond man walked out behind Zhu Jue who had already changed his outfit, "If you think you are just a nobody, then they are definitely blind, there is someone from your place I once told me that Maxima and Bole are the perfect match. Since you don’t have Bole there, why don’t you come to L City? This is a place where art gathers. I believe that you can also get what you want here .”

They have already entered the backstage, and there, the actors who will be on stage with him later have also made preparations. What they are going to perform today is a short play that has just been rehearsed, there is no change of scene, and as soon as they go on stage, There will be no actors who will come back on stage after leaving the stage. They have to run through the whole play from beginning to end. For all actors, it is a big test. Zhu Jue said to him with a smile: "Maybe one day we will meet again." Meet here, but not now—Ann, why don't you go to the audience and enjoy it? The play is about to begin."

outside the theater.

"Sorry, there is no seat in the Golden Zone. Do I need to book another seat for you?" From the small ticket window, the voice of the conductor spoke quickly.

"Yes, how much?"

Although online ticket sales have long since become common, manual ticket sales like this are still flourishing everywhere. Shen Yi silently lined up in the middle of the line, following the people in front to buy tickets.

He didn't get a good seat either, it was a bit off the corner, but luckily the whole stage was still very clear, he picked it up a bit, and sat down as usual.

"Will there be any congratulations tonight? He seems to be only performing in the afternoon show." Before the show even started, muffled discussions could be heard from the side from time to time.

"I saw his name on the list. It's the first play of a new play tonight. Maybe he will make an exception for this."

"He plays really well, doesn't he?"

"It's a pity that he won't stay for long. You know, my brother works as an accountant in the troupe. He said that he will only perform until the day after tomorrow. After that, we won't be able to see him."

"it's a pity……"

The corners of Shen Yi's lips rose imperceptibly.

He subconsciously looked at the attendance rate in the theater. Compared with the situation when he first came to see the performance, the attendance rate has risen a lot, of course—it can’t be him boasting, most people here Came here for Zhu Jue.

Shen Yi couldn't help but wanted to snort, maybe some people can't see the advantages of Zhu Jue, but there will never be a lack of insight to find gold in this world - everyone here is a proof.

At this moment, someone patted his shoulder from behind, and at the same time, a unique voice that also lowered the volume but did not lose its charm.

"Hello--"

Shen Yi was startled, and turned his head abruptly, what caught his eyes was the face that he had slandered for a long time.

"Yu Qiren?!"
