He is wild and cowardly

Is the money-related thing more attractive? Ruan Mengqi's attention was immediately diverted, and he pulled Tao and Shu to tell him something.

Because of inexplicable guilt, Tao Yushu's mouth was not as hard as before, and after being grinded for a long time, he said a few vague words, to the effect that he didn't know how much he was late, but because of some reasons, he vaguely knew that The previous endorsement fees of a retired e-sports player,? About this amount.

He made a fool of himself, pretending that he didn't know Chi Ying very well, and didn't mention that he had dinner with him for four days, and was still discussing tomorrow's food at the last moment.

After Tao and Shu talked in a few words, everyone at the table suddenly showed stunned expressions——

Chi Ying is the one with the highest commercial value in LPL today. Since there are other people who can get that much, then he must be much more.

Seeing that Tao and Shu had dealt with it, they picked up the water glass and drank slowly. After a while, when no one was paying attention to themselves, they turned on their mobile phones and quickly replied with a word.

--"eat."

What was the reply on the other end? Tao and Shu didn't look at it again. They just ate and chatted next, so they couldn't concentrate too much.

At the end of the show, Ruan Mengqi went to pay the bill in advance, and told Tao Yushu before leaving, let him wait and don't leave.

Tao and Shu waited outside the box, saying goodbye to the others while waiting for Ruan Mengqi to come back.

When Ruan Mengqi came back, he was a bit chilled, obviously he had just stood outside for a long time, the smell of alcohol dissipated a little on his round and fat face, he smiled when he saw Tao and Shu, and clasped his hands together. Sitting on his shoulders, it seemed that he wanted to chat for a few words.

"I've been looking at you just now." Ruan Mengqi said, his tone was still careless, and he asked directly: "What's the matter, are you in a bad mood?"

Tao Yushu smiled in surprise and said, "You still look at me? I don't think you are too busy just eating and drinking."

Ruan Mengqi patted him, and Tao and Shu stopped joking. They shook their heads and said, "No. What do you think? I've been fine recently."

Tao Yushu looked serious, and he didn't look like he was lying. Ruan Mengqi looked at him for a while, and asked directly, "I didn't have time a while ago, and I was afraid that you were busy, so I didn't ask you... Video That person in Lin is Uncle Cheng, right?"

Tao and Shu stopped talking.After a few seconds, he nodded.

Ruan Mengqi frowned, and after a while, he muttered, "What's wrong?"

It's been a long time since the incident, and Tao and Shu actually didn't feel much about it long ago. Seeing Ruan Mengqi's appearance now, he couldn't say anything, and he still wanted to laugh.

On New Year's Eve, the video was leaked, and the black post was covered more than 1000 times on the forum, and then the hot search reached the top. In the huge circle of friends, apart from Ruan Mengqi, no one else asked what happened to him after the incident happened.

It's no big deal that he's been a social failure.

But if you really want to count it, there is still a late welcome, and the sentence "I know it is fake" is more important than anything else.

He felt like he wasn't that miserable.

Tao and Shu know that it is difficult to make any sincere friends knowing their personalities.

He is used to arranging all the people and things around him within an appropriate distance range, and he seems to be gentle and polite to everyone, but in fact he doesn't like being too close, and he doesn't like relationships that require extra effort to maintain.

But it's not that he can't feel good from others, so if someone can ignore those good things to him, he is more willing to cherish these feelings.

"It's nothing." Tao Yushu said in a relaxed tone. He didn't deliberately show a calm atmosphere, nor did he pretend to be magnanimous, but he really felt that it was over: "I haven't been hacked yet? It's been a few months and I'm still angry." , then I won’t be able to survive.”

"That's good." Ruan Mengqi patted him on the shoulder again, then turned to talk about another topic, "Do you know why I have to ask you out today? Look at your circle of friends, you have been bored at home all winter, afraid that no one will Talking, I'm holding you back."

Thinking of the endorsement fee that had just been spent for a long time, Tao Yushu didn't mention that she actually had someone to talk to and cook for. She just said: "It's actually okay. I'm usually busy and noisy, and occasionally I have a quiet time. It's cool to be quiet."

The two chatted for a while, and when the driver at Ruan Mengqi's house called and said he was already waiting downstairs, he got up and prepared to go downstairs.

Before leaving, Ruan Mengqi suddenly remembered something again and said, "By the way, you can actually think about what I just said."

"What?"

"Just to ask if you have a girlfriend—"

Tao and Shu: "."

Ruan Mengqi hurriedly grabbed him, and the expression on his face didn't look like he was joking: "I'm serious, you've been free recently anyway, so you can take advantage of this opportunity to have a relationship. Like my younger brother, he will have a girlfriend as soon as the summer vacation is over. , break up after the summer vacation, the time will pass by in a flash, and you won’t feel bored——If you have ideas, I can introduce you to a few, they are all good girls, I’ve heard your name for a long time.”

"I'm not free at all, I read scripts every day! We broke up after the summer vacation..." Tao and Shu asked dumbfounded, "Do I look that much like a scumbag?"

Ruan Mengqi didn't argue with Tao Yushu about whether he looked like a scumbag, but repeatedly mentioned the matter a few times, saying that if he got busy in the future, there would be no more shops in this village, and he said that Tao Yushu A good-natured young man in his 20s, working in the entertainment industry, surrounded by countless handsome men and women, but living without desires and desires all day long, is really outrageous.

Tao Yushu was vague and perfunctory, and at the same time, an inappropriate face popped up in his mind, which shocked him. He never thought of why he would think of him when talking about this kind of topic, so he hurriedly ignored it. I won't mention it any more.

The seven-day Spring Festival holiday passed by in a flash, and the neighborhood where Tao and Shu lived began to become a little noisy from [-]:[-] in the morning.

Most of the people who live here are not from the local area, and they return to Shanghai to work after the new year.

Although the sound insulation of the community is fairly good, the sound of iron gates colliding, sirens, and human voices can be faintly transmitted through the green plants, which also adds a bit of popularity to the originally deserted community.

With more people coming and going, Tao and Shu stopped going downstairs frequently.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, Chi Ying came to eat his last lunch and said that he would drive back to the base in the afternoon.

They are still in the same city, but only an hour's drive away, but Tao and Shu are still a little bit sad when they think that they will have to live a life of playing games and eating snacks by themselves in the next two months.

It was the first time Tao Yushu had this feeling of leaving a friend, which was similar to childhood. He thought it was fresh and offered to send him off.

But Chi Ying told him not to send him off, so Tao Yushu just stood at the door of their house and sent him out.

The weather in February was not very cold. Tao Yushu wore a thin fleece sweater with long sleeves covering half of the back of his hands. Underneath was a pair of skinny jeans that were supposed to be slim, but because he was too thin, the pants It wasn't attached to the legs, and there was still a little gap, but it made his skeleton thinner.

Tao Yushu grabbed the door frame and asked Chi Ying: "Is it going to be busy soon? Is there any time off?"

Chi Ying stood tall and straight with his hands hanging by his sides, talking to Tao Yushu through a half-open door: "After the spring game, I have time to rest."

"Then you fight hard." Tao Yushu said with a smile, "Win the championship."

Tao and Shu hadn't watched the entire season of the competition, and it was impossible for them to understand the detailed rules of the competition, and they didn't know how difficult it was to win the championship in this kind of competition.

He casually said "take the championship" like a thoughtless perfunctory blessing, but the person who received it seemed to be very happy, and the corner of his mouth curled up, saying: "Then I will work hard."

Before Chi Ying was about to enter the elevator, Tao Yushu stopped him again, looked at him for a long time, and said: "Thank you these few days."

His tone was very serious and sincere, because he wanted to thank not only the few meals, but also something else, both of them understood.

But when Chi Ying received this thank you, the corner of his mouth dropped, and he seemed not as happy as when Tao Yushu let him "take the championship" just now.

Tao and Shu vaguely felt that Chi Ying didn't seem to want to hear this thank you very much.

Chi Ying lowered her eyes halfway, and her eyes fell on the door frame that Tao Yushu was holding, staring at it motionlessly, but she didn't show a second smile after all.

After a few seconds, he said flatly, "No need."

He said "no", but Tao and Shu always felt that it sounded like "don't".

Tao and Shu blinked their eyes, a little unresponsive.After all, he has never had a playmate, and he has no such experience of parting from a playmate.In a daze, Chi Ying said goodbye to him, and entered the elevator, leaving behind a casual figure.

Tao Yushu suddenly felt that she didn't really want to hear this "goodbye".

After the Spring Festival, the migrant workers started to work. Although Tao and Shu didn't have major events in the strict sense, they were no longer as idle as they were in the previous month.

A cover interview that was scheduled a long time ago was going to be done, and the second audition for Director Qu's new film also had to go.

The night before the audition, Brother Huang called Tao Yushu, with a bit of joy in his tone, and told him the news——Because Director Qu was busy, he would not go to the second audition in person, and only the assistant director would be in charge.

This means that when the time comes, it will basically be just a formality.After all, most assistant directors can be equivalent to running errands. They have neither the ability to select people nor the qualifications to recruit people. Only the assistant director is present at the audition scene, and the atmosphere is generally not very serious and tense.

Tao and Shu got Director Qu's approval in their first audition. This time, as long as they follow the steps and there are no accidents, they should formally sign the contract when they meet again next time.

The next day, Tao and Shu arrived at the scene in their nanny car, causing a little commotion.

It was supposed to be a time when all kinds of New Year's greetings programs were active, but Tao Yushu, as the hottest traffic stars, went into hiding for two months, and the gossip topics gradually subsided in the middle. The time may not be long, but it is enough to arouse speculation.

No one really thinks that he will never come out again, but the original content of the topic has a little connection with this film. Now the main character appears in a second audition with only the assistant director, and even if he doesn't come, it doesn't matter much. It is inevitable that people still feel that there is something worthy of analysis.

Tao and Shu were taken to the rest area to wait. After sitting for a long time, a staff member knocked on the door and told him to go to the front to prepare.

The characters in many plays have requirements for the actor's body shape, which needs to be recorded, so one of the preparatory work is to measure the height and weight, which is a routine process.

Tao and Shu took off their shoes and paused for a second before standing up. After standing up, the numbers displayed by the electronic scale did not disappoint his hesitation for that second.

58.5 kg.

"..."

With a height of almost 1.8 meters and a weight of less than 120 catties, it has nothing to do with being fat, but is actually very thin.

But compared to New Years ago, when he auditioned for the first time, he had indeed gained more than five catties.

The eldest brother who was doing field work took the record book and added a number after Tao and Shu's name, and compared it with the number in the previous column, he raised his head and showed a teasing smile: "Little Tao eats well during the Chinese New Year?"

Tao Yushu got off the scale, stuffed their feet back into their shoes, and said "hmm" with a calm expression, thinking about two things over and over in their hearts.

One is whether the scale is broken, and the other is whether he really ate a lot.

But the huge crew really didn't need to deceive him with fake scales, he went back and forth in his mind for a while with a sullen face, and admitted with difficulty that he had indeed eaten too much.

Filling in their height again, Tao Yushu walked outside the temporary scene booth and waited. Not long after, the curtain in front was raised, and a person came out.

He is still tall and thin, with short hair that has been taken care of very softly, and looks much more well-behaved than he did a few months ago.

Zhuo Shi's expression was not too surprised when he met his gaze, he smiled faintly, and nodded at Tao and Shu: "Little Brother Tao."

"Yeah." Tao Yushu nodded. His impression of this boy was still in New Year's Eve. He came in with Miao Yu, looking bullied. It wasn't a particularly pleasant memory, so he didn't know what to say. Just casually asked: "Are you coming to audition too?"

A formulaic question that didn't point out what he could answer.

Zhuo Shi was quiet for a while, said "um", and then said a character name.

Tao Yushu was taken aback, then raised his head again, his eyes turned around his face.

Zhuo Shi still had a faint smile on his face, as if he wasn't the one who spoke just now.

The name Zhuo Shi just mentioned is also the role of Tao and Shu Shi.

He is the second male lead in the play, and he plays a very important role, second only to the male lead who has already appointed a certain celebrity as a character.

Director Qu is only in his early forties, and has already won several important awards in his hands. He hasn't released a new film for three years, so if there is any news this time, every little bit of news from the cast to the casting is enough to open up several high-rise buildings on the forum. Degree.

As for the roles of Tao and Shu Shi, the competition is fierce, which can also be seen from the bloody storm during the New Year's Eve last time.

Of course, this is not the reason why Tao and Shu were surprised by Zhuo Shi's presence here.

Zhuo Shi is about the same age as Tao and Shu, and has the same appearance and style, so it's not surprising that he would be interested in this role.

Even though the audition is private, without referees, it is possible that they will not even know the audition time, but it is not uncommon for people in this industry to have their own contacts more or less.

Tao and Shu were just a little surprised that they didn't seem to see him last time—and according to what Brother Huang had inquired about at the time, there was indeed no one like You Zhuoshi mentioned in the waiting list.

Mostly half way.

And those who can be blocked in this kind of crew, the relationship between them is obviously unusual.

Zhuo Shi glanced at him lightly, as if waiting to see his reaction.

Tao Yushu wasn't very interested in other people's backgrounds, and didn't bother to think about it. He just nodded politely again. Just when a staff member opened the curtain and took a look at him, Tao Yushu followed into the shed.

This time I tried another scene from the script. The burst and super long personal monologue is one of the highlights of this character. The whole process took 10 minutes, and the time for reading lines accounted for more than half.

Tao and Shu stayed at home during this time, apart from resting, the most they did was flipping through the script. During the period, they also sent an email to Director Qu, expressing their understanding of this character, and got a few brief replies. This one has a certain degree of certainty.

There is not much time left for the actors to adjust. After 5 minutes, with the sound of "Action", Tao and Shu entered the state.

Tao Yushu started acting before graduating from high school. They were not majors, but after a few months of advanced training, they basically learned on their own. Acting has its own model.

Some of his models are familiar to him, while others are not.It’s okay when I’m acting in a TV series, the pace is fast, and the script takes the bulk, but when I’m acting in a movie, a transition can last for several months. It’s impossible for the entire crew to revolve around one actor. At this time, it is very necessary to work with the director. The goal is that the more tacit understanding the better.

Acting is like this. The director's ideas collide with the actors' ideas to create sparks. If it is beautiful enough, it can bring great improvements to both parties, and the work will be better and more content.

Director Qu is a very thoughtful director, which is why Brother Huang wants Tao and Shu to try this play no matter what.

After 10 minutes, the assistant director called out, Tao and Shu slowly pulled away from the intense emotions in the scene, took a deep breath, and quietly waited for the director's evaluation.

No one spoke for a long time, Tao Yushu glanced over there, and saw Deputy Director Chen sitting in the middle holding the script in one hand, frowning and looking down line by line, his eyes were not on Tao Yushu at all.

At the end, he said something: "Xiao Tao, what's the matter with your line."

"..."

Tao and Shu had thought in advance of many faults that might be pointed out, but they didn't expect to be criticized for their lines first.

Although he has not received professional line training, his Mandarin is fairly standard, and he has never had any major problems with pronunciation.

However, the character he will play in this film is from Haicheng. During the first audition, Director Qu mentioned that he could try to read his lines in Mandarin with a little Haicheng accent, which would be more helpful in shaping the character. Character image, but I don’t insist on it for the time being, because there will be special training before joining the group, and the focus is still on the performance itself.

Tao Yushu didn't know what the assistant director meant, so after thinking about it, he said, "Director, tell me."

Deputy director Chen glanced at him, frowned, and said, "Qi Yuxiang is from Haicheng. In the film, except for the heroine, he should use Haicheng dialect when talking with other people, not to mention Speaking of such a long monologue, you read it in such standard Mandarin, are you reading a text?"

This is very blunt, and the words "read the text" can be regarded as severe criticism.

Tao and Shu were taken aback, and the other assistant director who sat next to Assistant Director Chen and watched the performance of the first three people with him was also a little surprised.

Assistant director Chen flipped through the four or five pages of the single-scene script, turned to a page, pointed to a line of words and read them out, in cadenced Mandarin, within three seconds, Tao and Shu realized He realized that he was learning his own speech just now, and he was reciting the lines he had just read.

"...Did you hear that? That's what you said just now. What does it look like?" Assistant Director Chen said, "If you didn't look at the screen, you'd think it was a radio broadcast."

It was reading the text again, and the radio broadcast was broadcasting. The assistant director next to him felt that the evaluation was a bit too much. He coughed and leaned back on the chair, but he didn't interrupt him.

It's not that they haven't been reprimanded by the director on the set, but Tao Yushu's face is still a little red.

He is not from Haicheng, and he doesn't know the authentic Haicheng accent, so he didn't add any accent to his lines on his own initiative, for fear that if he learns it wrong, he will appear lame.

It seems that it is still not done well.

"Don't think that you can use dubbing, so you ignore the training of lines. Let me tell you, our movies have never used dubbing. We haven't done dubbing before, and this time we won't make a special case for anyone." Assistant Director Chen said, "Some As an actor, I thought I was good at acting in TV dramas and had experience, but I couldn’t get over that petty pattern. I thought the big screen was the same as the small screen, but it’s actually much worse! The screen is big, and your little expression, even The matching degree of mouth and voice will all enter the eyes of the audience."

Tao Yushu said: "Thank you director for correcting me, I will remember."

Deputy Director Chen glanced at him, and said that it is useless to just memorize, and you need to pay attention.

Deputy director Chen is not very old, he is considered a young director among directors, and he is quite young and energetic. Apart from picking mistakes, he probably also has the meaning of suppressing these traffic stars.

This round of comments didn't want to be closed in the slightest. Even if Tao Yushu was slow, he could feel that some of it was Deputy Director Chen's dissatisfaction with himself as a person.

For a total of 10 minutes, Tao and Shu stayed in it for an hour.

When I came out, it was already past meal time, and there were not many staff members left in the lounge.

Tao Yushu took out his mobile phone, opened the door and went to the stairwell, and called Brother Huang.

Brother Huang quickly picked it up. The surrounding environment seemed to be very noisy. His voice was loud: "What have you done so far? I see that you haven't come out yet, so you went to the opposite side to buy food first. There are many people and they are queuing up. You go there first." While waiting, I will pack it for you in a while."

"Well, brother Huang, you can eat it, don't bring it to me."

"Okay. How was it?"

Tao Yushu glanced at the direction of the door, rubbed between his brows, and said honestly, "It's not that good."

He was in a normal mood, and Brother Huang immediately heard it, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Tao and Shu didn't want to stand here and chat so much, they just said, "Let's talk about it later."

"Okay, okay, I'm almost in line here, hang up first, come here right away."

After hanging up the phone, Tao and Shu didn't go into the lounge again, and sat on the bench by the window in the stairwell to rest for a while.

In order not to get sleepy in the afternoon, he didn't eat much for lunch. He was really hungry at the moment, but he didn't have much appetite.

Tao and Shu Bai flicked their phones boredly, clicking here and looking there, and found that WeChat has a new boring function called Pai Yi Pai.

He didn't look at his phone for a long time, and many groups were already taking photos in full swing.

Tao and Shu haven't talked in various work groups recently, and their sense of presence is very low, so no one photographed him.

But when he looked at the screen full of things like "xx patted xx's rainbow fart" and "xx patted xx's dog's head and turned his head and took a bite", he also thought it was a bit amusing, so he was a little eager to try.

He even changed the suffix for himself following what other people said in the group, but when it came time to shoot, he realized that he didn't know who to shoot.

Brother Huang can do it, but his reactions are generally not funny enough and boring.

Colleagues at work certainly can't.

I usually chat in a serious way, but suddenly I send them something like this, I'm sure I think I'm stupid because I don't have a job, I've been bored at home for too long.

Ruan Mengqi...

Since the last dinner, this person has been whispering in his ear for a long time. The theme has jumped from young people who should fall in love without a limit to sex. Love is good for physical and mental health. Tao and Shu are really afraid of it. He picks up the chatter.

Brother Dova is a suitable candidate, but Tao and Shu promised to double row with him some time ago, but they became pigeons and failed to make a double row, but they mixed with his former teammates and played controller games for a long time very happy.

This kind of behavior is not much different from seeing sex and forgetting friends, which is disgusting.

Tao Yushu was tortured by Ruan Mengqi for a week, and now he was a little tired, his thinking was not under his own control, but he was startled by the words that popped up automatically in his mind, his eyes widened to the void .

When he realized it, he stared at the phone screen in a daze.

[I patted "No. 0431"]

[Number 0431:? 】

[No. 0431: What's wrong? 】

Tao Yushu stared at the small line of words, wondering why this small function, in his own case, seems to be different from the ones photographed by others.

And why is Chi Ying always replying to messages so quickly? Isn't he training?

Tao and Shu fiddled with their phones, pondered for a few seconds, and sent a message in order to show that they were not bored for no reason.

[TYS: God Chi, I discovered a very serious thing today. 】

The other end really thought that Tao Yushu really wanted to find him, and replied quickly.

[No. 0431: What's the matter? 】

[TYS: I gained five catties]

[No. 0431: ...]

After Chi Ying sent a series of ellipses, Tao and Shu realized that there might be something wrong with them.

Originally, I didn't want to make people feel that I was idle and harassing people to send people some photos, so I thought of a reason temporarily.

But looking at it now, it's okay not to say this sentence, but after adding this sentence, it looks more and more like looking for trouble.

Why does Chi Ying want to know how many pounds you have gained? ? ?

Tao and Shu questioned themselves.

The phone vibrated again.

Tao and Shu saw the words on it clearly, and they were stunned for a moment, and the hand that was about to press the undo button stopped.

[No. 0431: Well, you can get a little fatter]

The author has something to say: Xiao Chi: It’s better to be fatter, and it’s more comfortable to pinch
