After the audition, Song Zhulan went back to the apartment without delay.

Along the way, I have been holding the new version of the script and studying it carefully.

Acting is not his main business, and he has a long way to go in the future, but he doesn't intend to rely on acting for a living.

But once you decide to do something, you must do it to the extreme.

In fact, he didn't care so much about the so-called A and B actors. More importantly, he did have problems in acting, and he wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.The pursuit of perfection has always been a habit.

Song Zhulan is well-rounded and well-rounded, but he is not like this when dealing with affairs.His attitude towards himself is almost harsh, and he even has the feeling of being in a dead end. No matter how difficult it is, he will always do his best before giving up.

It is also because of this that he can survive the long end of the world, master a lot of knowledge that he was completely unfamiliar with, and stand on the highest position.

Song Zhulan's attitude in doing things has never changed, and the same goes for acting.

Since returning to the apartment, Song Zhulan has been staring at the script without speaking, and even has no intention of leaving for dinner when it's almost time for dinner.

Jiang Xiaofeng lingered at the door of Song Zhulan's study for a long time and dared not go in - it's not like he didn't remind Song Zhulan before when he was concentrating, but the look in his artist's eyes when he raised his head was too scary, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't want to experience it a few more times Such a taste.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally thought of the person who was not very afraid of Song Zhulan. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to the other party, briefly talking about Song Zhulan's current state, but he didn't mention Song Zhulan to Qin Jingye. The specific things about Lan's audition.

After sending out the WeChat message, he realized that the other party should be flying back to Beiyang today, and he didn't know if he had landed now.

Even if the plane has landed and people just came back, it will take some time to adjust.

When Jiang Xiaofeng was annoyed by his abruptness, he suddenly saw the other party's reply.

Qin Jingye: Alright, thank you Brother Xiaofeng.I'm still at the airport, and I'll be there in four or ten minutes.

Four 10 minutes?Jiang Xiaofeng was slightly taken aback, it would take about four to ten minutes from the airport to Song Zhulan's house if there was no traffic jam.

Qin Jingye is still at the airport, which means that he basically has no time to rest, so he has to rush directly to Song Zhulan.

No matter how you say it, it seems that Song Zhulan is a little...too caring.

Song Zhulan knew nothing about Jiang Xiaofeng's actions.

He was analyzing Zhang Erbao's script, and just after analyzing the beginning, he realized that something was wrong.

There is no problem with my understanding of the characters, the real problem lies in acting.He understood the feeling that director Ma said, but he couldn't find a way to improve himself for the time being.

Song Zhulan stared at the flat footer of the script and failed to think. After a while, he stood up, wanting to change his mind and come back to solve the problem.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table vibrated just right, it was still a voice call from Qin Jingye.

"Director Qin?" He quickly adjusted his tone, and when he answered, his voice was still as gentle as usual, and nothing unusual could be heard, "Are you getting off the plane?"

"Well, it's landed," Qin Jingye said in a low voice, and the surrounding was very quiet, not as noisy as Song Zhulan's impression of the airport, "How did your audition result go?"

Qin Jingye was not at the airport.

"Liu Suo's Group B actor," Song Zhulan replied, pacing in the study, not shying away from the matter, "I discussed it with Director Ma, and I will re-audit for the role of Xu Erbao in three days."

"Xu Erbao, this role is also very challenging," Qin Jingye said, "he has a very different personality from Liu Suo. It would be a good thing for you to challenge him. Let's talk about him sometime. I have always been interested in the character Xu Erbao."

He didn't say much about the actors in Group B, and he didn't deliberately comfort Song Zhulan. The way he handled it was very comfortable.

When Qin Jingye only talked about the city, he was indeed inferior to the pair of brothers from the Wen family, and there was no comparison with his own brothers and sisters.He is used to being a straightforward and impatient person, but when he really has to take care of someone, he is actually quite comfortable.

During the phone call, Qin Jingye asked: "The meal time is almost over, have you eaten yet? A friend recommended me a soup dumpling shop a few days ago, do you want to try it?"

Song Zhulan narrowed his eyes, did not answer for a while, and went straight to the window.

The floor he was on was not too high, and he could clearly see the scene downstairs in the apartment.

Downstairs of his house, there is a black business car that has never appeared in the community and is expensive at first glance.

Song Zhulan raised the corners of her lips slightly: "They all went downstairs to my house and only asked me if I had eaten. Director Qin, when you come out, tell me to cut first and play later."

"Cut first and then play? You have to go back and learn Chinese again..." Qin Jingye retorted subconsciously, and then realized Song Zhulan's words.

He pushed open the car door and looked up in the direction of Song Zhulan's house.

Behind that familiar window, a faint figure could be seen waving to him.

Although they were far away, Qin Jingye could imagine the boy behind the window smiling slyly.

He also laughed: "Okay, I'll cut it first and then play it. Then, would Teacher Song be willing to give you the honor and go eat soup dumpling with me?"

While speaking, the boy's figure had disappeared from the window.

Song Zhulan adjusted her hair in front of the mirror, and strode out the door: "This is it, Director Qin."

Facts have proved that Qin Jingye's "friend" has the same tricky tastes as him, and he has high requirements for food.His so-called soup dumpling is actually an authentic crab roe soup dumpling, not small in size, even bigger than Song Zhulan's face.

On the way here, Song Zhulan explained to Qin Jingye the specific process of the audition, including Director Ma's words, and asked him to clarify his doubts.

Qin Jingye pondered for a long time, and passed a straw to Song Zhulan so that he could drink the steamed stuffed bun soup first, and then organize his words to speak.

"What Director Ma said is indeed very reasonable, but I don't think it's a serious problem, and I can't be in a hurry. I've heard what you said about getting No. [-] in Group A. Although he is not well-known, he is I have been in the theater since I graduated, and I have acted in plays similar to "Cornerstone".

He will naturally have a deeper understanding of characters like Liu Suo than you, and he will be more comfortable in acting.With the accumulation of time and experience, it is actually quite normal for him to beat you. "

Song Zhulan stopped what he was doing as early as when he was speaking, and focused his eyes on thinking.

"If you want to improve your acting skills, there is actually no shortcut. Listen more, watch more, act more and feel more. Only when you have accumulated to a certain level can you make breakthroughs. Sometimes you can't rush for a while."

This is also the reason why Director Ma did not approve of Song Zhulan at first.

Time is too tight, even if Song Zhulan is excellent, how can he achieve the accumulation of others over the years in just three days?

As far as Qin Jingye is concerned, if anyone else has such a plan, he will also persuade him like Director Ma.

But now in front of him is Song Zhulan.

Song Zhulan has an exquisite and perfect mask, but sometimes her true character still shows through.

He is actually very stubborn sometimes, with a kind of madness that he will not give up unless he has to achieve a certain goal.Perhaps because of this, or because of some other reasons, Qin Jingye has an almost blind trust in Song Zhulan.

So he said: "If you want, I can play with you until you are satisfied."

Before Song Zhulan could say anything, he had already added: "When I came back from this business trip, I've already done everything I need to do. I'm not too busy right now, so I have time to play with you. Besides, see Acting is like relaxing, so you don't have to worry about it."

He said so, and it would be hypocritical to evade it, not to mention that Song Zhulan needed someone to give him an opinion by the side.He nodded immediately: "Okay, then I would like to thank Director Qin."

As soon as Qin Jingye got off the plane, he rushed over to discuss the drama with him, and he took care of him delicately and tenderly along the way, and all this seemed to be logical between the two of them.

When did it start to become like this?

Song Zhulan distractedly recalled it, but couldn't give a definite answer.

Traveling from the apocalypse to the world in this book, many absurd things have indeed happened.Song Zhulan used to be angry and unhappy because of this, and it caused many other negative emotions.

But he still felt lucky to meet someone like Qin Jingye here.

If they could meet in the last days, they should have become friends earlier.

The two of them are not procrastinators, since they agreed to play against each other, they went back to the apartment immediately after eating without much delay.

Song Zhulan's re-audition role this time is called Xu Erbao, who doesn't have as many roles as Liu Suo, but the ending is more impressive.

Xu Erbao is the second child in the family. It is actually a bit embarrassing to be born in such a position.

The parents put all their hopes on the eldest son, and gave all their tenderness to the youngest son. Only the second son, cats hate dogs, and parents often forget that they have such a taciturn child.

Except for the word "bao" in his name, Xu Erbao has nothing to do with such a precious word.

Growing up in neglect, he naturally had a dream: he wanted to be a hero.

Gotta save the world for everyone to see, so everyone would know there was a guy like him.Everyone will worship him, admire him, and admire him. They will say "Xu Daxia" and "Hero Xu Erbao" everywhere, and they will tell children bedtime stories about him.

A silly kid with little knowledge just went on the road, wanting to realize his dream of being a hero.

But what he didn't know was that the dream of being a hero has long since ceased to be popular.

He stepped into a huge scam, but he was still complacent that his dream was about to come true, and finally died without accident.

Before he died, he was still holding the protagonist's skirt tightly and asked him, "Have I become a hero?"

To be honest, for Song Zhulan, the role of Xu Erbao is more difficult than Liu Suo.

Xu Erbao left home at the age of 17. In Song Zhulan's original world, the apocalypse began when he was 17 years old.

Even if he is in the youth class, no matter how smart he is beyond ordinary people, but in the face of sudden natural disasters, the youth is still powerless, even food and clothing are problems, not many people think he can survive.

But Song Zhulan wanted to live.He not only wants to live, but also wants to live well.

17 years old, here, he is still a student, has never stepped into the society, and has not completed a quarter of his life, so he does not know that people are sinister.

On Xu Erbao's side, the 17-year-old has not yet won the championship, and it is not a very old age.

However, Song Zhulan has changed from a student who sat in the classroom most of the day and counted, without worrying about food and clothing, to a person who needs to find food by himself and face a lot of beasts.

What is more terrifying than beasts is the human heart in the last days.

So far Song Zhulan is reluctant to recall that period of time, but he did survive and became a top figure in the last days.

It is impossible for him to empathize with Xu Erbao. Although he appears to be superior, he really only thinks that the other party is stupid enough.

Qin Jingye also felt it from his performance.

There is nothing wrong with Song Zhulan's lines, facial expressions, and movements, and ordinary audiences can't see anything in the audience.But Qin Jingye has been a director for so long, and he has always been the one who stands behind the camera and examines the spirit. He can see Song Zhulan's heart.

He shook his head: "This is not acceptable." Then he pointed out several problems of Song Zhulan.

Song Zhulan nodded, adjusted his state, and immediately performed it again.

He is very savvy, the problem Qin Jingye mentioned before has completely disappeared this time, but only that point is still not working.

Qin Jingye made a cup of tea, handed it to Song Zhulan and asked, "Are you coming?"

"Come." Song Zhulan only said one word.

It was the hottest time of the day when the two started to play each other, and when they finished, the room was even a bit cooler.

The sun had already set, and the night was pitch black with no light.

When Song Zhulan first acted, he still needed to read the script while reading his lines, but by this time, he no longer needed to read the script at all, and he could almost recite the lines backwards.

Qin Jingye was almost there.

After the last practice, Song Zhulan sat directly on the sofa, holding a teacup and almost drank the tea in one gulp.

After talking for several hours, his voice was hoarse.The boy's eyes were heavy, and the corners of his mouth curled down: "It still doesn't work."

"I've improved a lot." Qin Jingye and him said in unison.

"Not enough." Song Zhulan said firmly.

Qin Jingye didn't refute either, they all knew it well.

The competition for Xu Erbao's role is naturally not as fierce as the male second. With Song Zhulan's level, it is not difficult to get him.But he is not just for this role.

He needs a breakthrough, but has been stuck in the bottleneck, unable to make any progress.

This kind of feeling is rare in Song Zhulan, but it is really terrible.

He silently poured himself cups of tea, while Qin Jingye sat aside, not disturbing him, even breathing slowly, for fear of disturbing him.

After a long time, Qin Jingye finally broke the silence.

"In fact, I also had a bottleneck period," he said, "similar to your situation. My supervisor said that the films I made had no soul. I tried to find the so-called soul, but it has never been successful."

Qin Jingye himself talked about this topic, and Song Zhulan was actually very curious.

Actors need experience in acting, and directors naturally need more.There are many directors whose films are inspired by real things about themselves and their growth environment. Their desire for expression is closely related to their life experiences, but these cannot be used to explain Qin Jingye.

No one thought that the first successful work of this deviant young master of a family would not be about the life in their circle, nor his extravagant hobbies.

—He photographed an orphanage.

It is said that it is an orphanage, but it is not always true, because the orphanage mainly adopts deaf-mute children.

It is not as complete and exquisite as the orphanages in normal big cities, but it is located in a very remote place, and almost no one cares about it, until a teacher who came to support the education noticed it.Faced with a group of deaf-mute children, she chose to teach them to draw, and use a brush to draw the beauty of the world.

The film is not long, but it is warm enough and enough to make people cry.

While being moved, everyone was shocked by the director of this movie.

They never thought that a young master who was notoriously disobedient could make this kind of movie.

"I'm actually the kind of person who hates children," Qin Jingye touched his nose uncomfortably, "but if you really go to see them, you will be easily moved. Children are still different from adults. You look at them sometimes and think about what their future could have been. I feel sorry for a lot of them."

"If you want, I can accompany you to the place where I found inspiration," Qin Jingye said, "but it may not be the same now as before."

Song Zhulan is in a bottleneck period, even if he sees a glimmer of hope, he is unwilling to let it go.

He immediately booked a ticket and planned to leave, but Qin Jingye said that almost a year had passed, so he took out the meeting gift he had prepared for the children at home, and wanted to follow along.

The two decided to do it quickly without taking more people, and got on the plane early the next morning.

Then it was a long-distance bus and a very rugged mountain road, and finally arrived at the orphanage Qin Jingye mentioned.

It's very different there.

Qin Jingye donated all the proceeds from the film he made to repair it, and their family also paid a lot of money for it. Qin Jingye would visit them at least once a year.

It was probably because of this reason that the children in the orphanage were very familiar with him, they ran out as soon as they saw his figure, and gave Qin Jingye a firm hug.

The child then turned to Song Zhulan, with doubts in his big eyes, and gestured to Qin Jingye.

Qin Jingye responded with a series of movements with a smile, and then the child turned around and hugged Song Zhulan.

That blow was very light, and Song Zhulan didn't even feel the heat before it spread out.The child took a small step back, raised his face, looked at him a little timidly, but still smiled.

Song Zhulan didn't say anything.

He didn't like children himself, but the other party behaved very well, so he didn't say much, and while he was still thinking about acting, he followed Qin Jingye around this special orphanage.

The orphanage is dominated by deaf-mute children, but it is not silent.It's very natural here, you can hear birdsong in the morning, some teachers play music in the classroom, a group of children gather together and laugh, at first glance it looks like an ordinary school.

While walking Qin Jingye, he and Song Zhulan pointed at a few children.

"He wants to be a painter in the future, and my film is based on him."

"He wants to pass the exam in the future, earn a lot of money, and make the orphanage better and better."

"Someone wants to become a scientist in the future and cure the deaf-mute. Everyone supports his idea."

"And that one," Qin Jingye pointed at the child who was squatting in the corner of the book, holding a book with great interest, "He is different from others, he said that he will study mathematics in the future and become a great mathematician. Speaking of which, you two are a bit alike. Hey, Song Zhulan?"

Song Zhulan stopped and looked at the child Qin Jingye was pointing at.

At that moment, he seemed to see his former self through time and space.

It was the same way squatting in a corner of the orphanage, concentrating on reading.

Day by day, it's like this.

He never wanted to be taken away by anyone, and he never felt sorry for being an orphan.

He wants to study mathematics in the future and be a great mathematician like that shown on TV.

Others thought he was dreaming—an orphan who didn't even have a home, why was he thinking so many unrealistic things?He should be realistic and stop dwelling on his almost impossible dreams.

Many people said that, except for a temporary teaching assistant in the orphanage.

It was a very gentle woman, surnamed Song, who was said to be a female graduate student who came to teach.She often reads math books with Song Zhulan and gives lectures to him.

They talked about a lot of things, from the simple Pythagorean theorem to trigonometric functions to Fermat's last theorem, almost everything.

She never felt that Song Zhulan's dream was unrealistic, but instead encouraged him every day.

Song Zhulan didn't have this name at that time.The dean of the orphanage doesn't know how to name them, so every child is simply called Xiaoxiaoer. Song Zhulan is ranked sixth, and this name has been used for a long time.

Until one day the woman asked him: "Xiao Liu, have you figured out what your name will be? Your name will definitely be remembered by everyone in the future, and you can't decide it so hastily."

Song Zhulan had no idea at the time, but he thought the number six was too common.He is actually very envious of Xiaoqi, who can be ranked seventh and has this mysterious number.If possible, he thinks Π is not bad.

The woman laughed out loud when she heard the words, denied such a hasty name, and then asked: "Have you ever seen the sea? There are layers of waves, and it is magnificent. Some people are afraid of the sea and are afraid that they will be drowned by the waves, but some people love it. The sea, chasing every wave crest."

"You're the one chasing the waves."

"Hey, the name sounds nice, why don't you just call it Zhulan?"

……

"Song Zhulan?"

Qin Jingye's call pulled Song Zhulan back.

"What's the matter with you, what were you thinking just now?" Qin Jingye asked with concern on his face, "The mountain road is quite rough, do you feel sick to your stomach again?"

"It's okay, don't worry," Song Zhulan said, "I just thought of some past events."

"It's fine." Qin Jingye breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the boy say.

"I know how Xu Erbao should act."

The author has something to say: Mr. Song is only a little away from Song 3.1415926 orz
