substitute actor

Yan Ge never imagined that he would be involved in such outrageous disturbances.

After that incident in the morning, there were people talking behind him all day long, and when they turned around, those people hurriedly lowered their heads again, pretending to be busy, and casting scrutinizing gazes at him from time to time.

Later, he had to go to the hospital for an injection. Yan Ge had a splitting headache, and he didn't want to be distracted by these things. Fortunately, he finished work early today, and he didn't have much drama. Guessing that the time was coming, Yan Ge slipped out to change clothes.

Carrying the bag and walking outside, not far away, Ye Xingchen was recording and replaying. Seeing that he was leaving, he subconsciously raised his hand to greet him, and as if remembering something, hurriedly dropped the phone and ran towards him.

"Are you all right today?"

Yan Ge was stunned when asked, "It's all right."

Apart from being visited by people as monkeys all day long, nothing happened, just like usual.

"I can see that Ming is making a bad face all day long." Ye Xingchen curled his lips, very annoyed, "It is said that the staff were scolded and cried."

"Isn't he always like this?" Yan Ge laughed, but subconsciously lowered his volume.

This kind of thing can only be said in private. Last time, when a small singer was preparing backstage, he said a few words that Ming Yuan's acting skills did not match the real name. He acted the same in everything. After three days of scolding on Weibo, several hot searches went viral.

"I'm afraid that he will make things difficult for you today."

"No." Yan Ge shrugged.

At least until now, Ming Yuan has not made any moves.

"I have to go." Yan Ge glanced at the time, "I have to get an injection, and I have to read the script tonight. I have a show tomorrow."

"The one on 78?" Ye Xingchen asked.

"Correct."

In scene 78, although his character has only one line, it has a great effect on the development of the plot, basically creating a climax for the heroine's plot line.

Of course, it is just a tool to promote the deepening of the relationship between the hero and heroine.

But even so, Yan Ge still planned to prepare seriously.

"Okay, then you go back and have a good rest." Ye Xingchen patted him on the shoulder.

"it is good."

The voice just fell-

"Brother Yan."

A faint nasal sound came from behind, and Yan Ge suddenly had a bad feeling.

The person who came was the field worker with a big box in the morning. The little girl's bangs were a little wet. She probably just went to wash her face, and her eyes were still a little red. She was holding a pile of old bound materials in her arms, and her face was not very good-looking.

"What's wrong?" Yan Ge hesitated.

The scene manager seemed a bit embarrassed, after a long while, he sighed softly, "Brother Mingyuan told you to come over."

With a thump in his heart, Yan Ge raised his head and exchanged a glance with Ye Xingchen.

"What's the matter?" Yan Ge asked again.

"He said it was right."

"...I don't have any scenes today, the filming is over."

The field manager shook his head, "It's tomorrow's scene. Brother Mingyuan said he wanted to go through it with you in advance."

"This..." Yan Ge hesitated.

The field manager stood there for a while, reminded softly, a little anxious, "Brother Yan, hurry up...Brother Mingyuan doesn't like to wait for others."

Gritting his teeth, Yan Ge put down his bag, "It's okay, go ahead, I'll go right away."

The actor's exclusive lounge is at the end of the corridor, quiet and secluded, spacious and comfortable. Yan Ge stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.

No one answered.After a long time, there was an extremely loose sound.

"Enter."

Yan Ge pursed his lips, pushed the door open and went in.

Ming Yuan was leaning on the sofa to read the script, and the assistant squatted on the ground to change his shoes. Yan Ge walked in, stood in front of the coffee table, looked around, and found that the sofa on the chair was full of clothes and sundries. Prepare a place for him to sit.

Wiping the palms of his hands on the skirt, Yan Ge calmly picked up the clothes attached to his waist, so as not to rub them on the wound again.

After standing in front of him for five or six minutes, Ming Yuan mercifully put down the script, put his legs off the small stool beside him, and motioned for Yan Ge to sit down.

Looking at the dust above, Yan Ge frowned slightly, but still calmly sat down under Ming Yuan's slightly provocative gaze.

"Where's your script?" Ming Yuan glanced at him.

"No." Yan Ge said bluntly.

He did not bring the script for the 78 shows, and there was no need to bring it. He even said that in fact, the crew did not give him the script at all.

Just one line, the crew gave him a piece of paper, and the rest of the parts were distributed electronically, and they didn't even print it out for him.

It's just a piece of paper, and it would be embarrassing to bring it out.

Ming Yuan let out a "puchi" laugh, picked up his script casually, turned to number 78, tore off one with a "crash", and handed it to Yan Ge.

Looking at the tattered paper hanging in the air, Yan Ge lowered his eyes slightly and raised his hand to take it.

"Come on, read the words." Ming Yuan dictated.

Yan Ge naturally had no reason to refuse, so he cleared his throat.

Although this part is not particularly proficient, Yan Ge has a good background and is generally familiar with the plot of the story. The impromptu play will not appear rushed, but very professional.

When he finished his lines, Ming Yuan didn't intend to answer.

In fact, there are three characters in this scene.

Ming Yuan plays the male lead, Yan Ge plays the third male lead, and there is also a female lead.The script is intertwined, and the heroine's scene is suddenly skipped. Although it is abrupt, it will not be very inconsistent.

But if the male lead doesn't speak up, it's going against the grain.

Ming Yuan leaned on the sofa, smoked comfortably, rolled up the script, just like a director, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, scanning Yan Ge's whole body with scrutiny.

It's like putting a price on a product.This look made Yan Ge very uncomfortable.

a long time,

"It's pretty good." Ming Yuan boasted unprecedentedly, "Your lines are pretty good."

Yan Ge didn't know what he meant, but he thanked him tactfully, and complimented him back and forth.

Ming Yuan sat up straight, and got closer, "But don't you think this plot is too boring? The heroine found out her father's secret, and remembered that the bamboo horse had hinted at her... and so on."

Yan Ge didn't speak.

The plot is indeed boring and clichéd, but there is nothing he can do about it. He can't influence the screenwriter and director's approach, he can only act according to what they say.

"...Do you think that if this secret is told by the male protagonist, it will highlight the contradiction of the story?" Ming Yuan paused every word, and looked at him with a slight smile.

Yan Ge's eyes paused and became sharp in an instant.Slowly raising his head, he saw Ming Yuan's overly beautiful eyes, which were full of turbulent complacency and cunning at the moment.

——Yan Ge still forgot that he can't control the script, someone else can.

"...The words written here are the words of the third man." Yan Ge remained expressionless.

"I know." Ming Yuan didn't seem to hear at all, "But if you go this way, it will look much better. You see—the male protagonist helps the female protagonist investigate her father in private. First, it can deepen the character's emotions, and second, it can also intensify the relationship between the two characters." Contradictions are more gunpowder, don't you think?"

The tone was gentle and clear, with the meaning of asking, as if he would really take his opinion.

Yan Ge sighed softly, a little impatient with his entanglement, "This is all I have for this round."

"It's okay, one word is enough to express a lot of things."

The implication is: I don't dislike it.

Yan Ge finally understood, why Ming Yuan still confronted him when work was about to be over, he had never looked him in the eye before.

Feelings are calculated to revenge.

Ming Yuan felt that he had robbed his man, so he came to snatch his scene.Anyway, for Ming Yuan, it was easy.

"Then you can take it."

After Yan Ge finished speaking, he squeezed the script into a ball of paper and stuffed it into his pocket, stood up from the stool, turned and walked out.

"Then thank you." Ming Yuan smiled, "I will tell the screenwriter that this is the unanimous conclusion reached after the two of us discussed it."

Deliberately biting down on the word "unanimous", just wanted to disgust him.Yan Ge glanced at him indifferently, and closed the door of the lounge smoothly.

He is really tired.

Even if Yan Ge died, he would never have imagined that he took a ride with someone that night, and in the end, even his job was robbed.

It's completely a disaster.

But fortunately, Ming Yuan has taken away all the scenes, so I don't need to wake up early tomorrow, and I don't need to prepare tonight, but I can sleep well, Yan Ge smiled wryly in his heart.

Walking out of the gate, he was about to take the bus to the hospital, when he looked up, Yan Ge saw the black car again.

Parked on the side of the road, the car window was opened a small gap, and from this angle, the man's eyebrows could be vaguely seen.

There was a pause, and thinking of what the car was parked at the company before, Yan Ge felt a little complicated.

But it's also very good, if Jin Siyan takes Ming Yuan out today, at least it can calm him down, so that he won't be hard on himself in the future.

Chu looked at the spot for a while, then Yan Ge lowered his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, walked quickly past the car, and walked towards the bus stop.

Turning the intersection, Yan Ge breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could recover, a horn suddenly sounded behind him.

Yan Ge was startled, and when he turned around, he saw Jin Siyan's car slowly stop beside him.

Slightly dazed, Yan Ge slowed down, and then simply stopped in place.

With the car window down, Jin Siyan sat in the driver's seat and looked at him without saying a word, just sized him up in silence.

In the end, Yan Ge couldn't hold back anymore, "...Is there something wrong?"

Jin Siyan still didn't speak, he raised his head slightly, his eyes showed no emotion, after a while, he took out something from his pocket and shook it at Yan Ge.

With just one glance, Yan Ge recognized it.

his wallet.

It is estimated that he took Jin Siyan's car that day and accidentally dropped it here.I usually use my mobile phone to pay, and I only put some cards and ID cards in my wallet, so it’s no wonder I didn’t feel it when I dropped it.

"Thank you."

Yan Ge stretched out his hand and was about to take it, but Jin Siyan suddenly shrank back, leaving Yan Ge in the air and almost bumping into the car door.

"Come up." Jin Siyan said, shaking the wallet in his hand again.

This childish behavior made Yan Ge a little confused.

Standing on the side of the road, Yan Ge had some lingering fears in his heart. He knew in his heart that if he was photographed again today, it would basically be a fact that he had robbed Ming Yuan's gold master. It would not be nice to say it, and Ming Yuan would hold his grudge. .

But his wallet is inside.

Gritting his teeth, Yan Ge's heart sank, he opened the car door bravely, and sat straight in.

"Where are you going? I'll take you off."

As soon as Yan Ge entered, Jin Siyan returned the wallet to him as promised.

"Hospital." Yan Ge replied.

Jin Siyan didn't ask, just turned the car around and drove with all his heart.Suddenly the atmosphere was a little cold.

"I got into your car today, but I made a lot of mental preparations."

Yan Ge looked at his side face with uncertain emotions, half joking and half serious.

"Are you more psychologically prepared than last time?"

"..."

Yan Ge was so choked that he couldn't speak, he laughed a few times, but didn't continue talking.

After a while, Jin Siyan suddenly asked, "Do I not look like a good person?"

Yan Ge: "...?"

"You were like this last time." Jin Siyan said again.

"What is it like?"

"You don't seem to want to get in my car." Jin Siyan turned his head and glanced at him, "You all seem to be like this."

Yan Ge didn't know how to answer for a while, and he could only choke out a few words, "Probably because... most people don't just send people home casually. There is no free lunch in the world? Something like that..."

"Really?" Jin Siyan didn't care, "I didn't just give it away."

Yan Ge laughed, "Why is that?"

Jin Siyan turned the steering wheel and passed the traffic lights, "I see you are beautiful, so I'm attracted to you."

"..."

"I wanted to show you my friendship, so I sent you home." Jin Siyan seemed to be talking to himself, "Am I not friendly enough?"

"That's not true." Yan Ge was a little helpless, "It's because..."

"Because of what?" Jin Siyan asked.

"Because I took your car that day, I almost lost my job today."

Jin Siyan didn't understand, Yan Ge looked at him, and after a long while, he still told the whole story, including those rumors that spread all over the place, including how Ming Yuan took his part in the show today.

Unexpectedly, Jin Siyan listened very seriously, tapping the steering wheel with his fingertips irregularly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, Jin Siyan spoke slowly, "But it's not my fault, right?"

Yan Ge didn't speak, and didn't want to make a statement.

"Did I instruct those people to misunderstand?" Jin Siyan asked.

"No."

"Did I let Ming Yuan take your role away on his own?"

Yan Ge raised his hand and rubbed his dry eyes.

"No."

"Is that my fault?"

Yan Ge was sitting in the passenger seat, and he could see Jin Siyan's profile when he turned around.

Every time he looks at it, he will be amazed a little in his heart, it is all a muddy idea thrown out by Nu Wa, why some people can give birth to such a superior appearance.

Ten years ago, this man had a handsome appearance, with a youthful look in every gesture, but now he has grown up, a little more calm, and the lines on his face are clearer.

"No."

Yan Ge sighed and shrugged slightly, but he was not very convinced in his heart, and even complained a little.

Indeed, none of these rumors that spread around were intentional by Jin Siyan, and his lines were robbed only because he was stepped on by others in the crew, but if Jin Siyan hadn't asked Mingyuan at the beginning, then none of this would have happened occur.

"Okay." Jin Siyan glanced at the rearview mirror, curled his lips, and drove into the hospital, "You still seem to be angry with me."

Yan Ge was a little uncomfortable at what he said, opened his mouth, panicked, but still politely denied, "No."

This man seemed to be like this all the time, he spoke straight to the point, and he didn't know how to make a detour. The first time we met, Jin Siyan jumped on his "Yinhe" without permission, sat next to him, and blew the sea breeze all night.

It is the same now, even if it is a stranger who has just met for a short time, Jin Siyan can speak such ambiguous words at his fingertips.

Just like a child, you can do whatever you want, without thinking about whether what you say or do will be misunderstood by others.

The car stopped, and Yan Ge unbuckled his seat belt to get out of the car.

Jin Siyan didn't move, but turned his head to look at him, holding the freshly smoked cigarette between his fingertips, and stuck it on the cigarette case boredly, without any intention of lighting it.

"Thank you." Yan Ge bowed slightly as always, and was about to turn around when Jin Siyan called to stop him.

"I didn't do it on purpose." Jin Siyan declared in advance, then blinked, with a slightly apologetic tone, "But yesterday... I took a look at your wallet."

Yan Ge froze for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to take out the wallet, wanting to see what was inside.

"There's a picture inside."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Ge just opened those bank cards and took out the photo from the innermost interlayer.

The things from many years ago are a little faded, with a few numbers written in a ballpoint pen on the back, which is the year when Yan Ge graduated from high school.

"I didn't know you were also from Mingyang No. [-] Middle School." Jin Siyan hesitated, as if he was very uncertain.

Looking at himself in the photo, Yan Ge shrank his fingertips, his eyes drooped slightly, and there was no emotion on his face. It took him a while to come back to his senses.

He nodded and said nothing.

Jin Siyan was silent for a while, staring at him with sharp eyes, "You don't seem surprised at all."

Yan Ge's overly calm reaction made him doubt himself. You must know that when he saw this photo yesterday, he immediately dug out the old things of his high school, found out his graduation photo, and confirmed that his high school was the one in Yan Ge's photo. .

But Yan Ge didn't seem surprised at all when he met his alumni in another city eight years later.

Yan Ge raised his eyes, looked at him lightly, pretending to be calm, "Because I recognized you at a glance."

"Then why do you pretend you don't know him?" Jin Siyan frowned slightly.

"Because you don't seem to think of me."

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and no one answered.

Yan Ge stood outside the car, looking at Jin Siyan through the lowered car window. The cold air in the car kept rushing towards him, making him tremble a little.

It took a long time for Yan Ge to speak, "Besides, how do I know? Are you pretending not to recognize it on purpose? After all, if I become successful, I probably won't want to associate with my former classmates."

Now it was Jin Siyan's turn to have nothing to say.

"Have we met before?" Jin Siyan asked, "In high school."

Yan Ge raised his eyebrows slightly, as affirmative.

In fact, I have seen more than that.

At the end of the summer vacation and the beginning of high school, Yan Ge accidentally saw Jin Siyan, and immediately recognized this person as the person who ran into his boat that night. He was a little surprised at the time, and was about to say hello, but he didn't think that this person had completely forgotten him. .

Just like now.

Jin Siyan's class is next door to him, and the extent to which the front door connects to the back door, Lu Yange, who Jin Siyan came home from, also remembers clearly, after all, I don't know how many times he followed him quietly.

Now this person actually said "I have seen it", and passed it lightly.

Seeing that Jin Siyan really couldn't remember, Yan Ge sighed slightly in his heart, and added, "We had a little intersection before."

There was a little intersection.On the ship, in the night, in the safe haven under the moonlight, in the corridor where every get out of class bell rings.

It's just that he doesn't remember.

"Really?" Jin Siyan asked back.

Yan Ge didn't speak.

"But I have no impression of you at all." Jin Siyan took a breath, lowered his head slightly, thoughtfully, "Is it my problem?"

"Maybe it's just a bad memory." Yan Ge paused, then smiled slightly, "After all, there's nothing to remember."

Raising his hand to glance at the time, Yan Ge hastily ended the unpleasant conversation, saying that he had something to do later, and turned to leave.

Maybe it was because of his emotions, Yan Ge always felt that the back view of him leaving was a bit embarrassing to run away in a hurry.
