You look so sweet [entertainment circle]

Acting well is an actor's job, not any additional requirements, which is equivalent to no requirements.

Xie Xinqian was used to being unlucky, she didn't expect that there was a pie in the sky, and she was dizzy for a while.

Before leaving, he sneaked to the front desk to pay the bill under the pretext of going to the bathroom.The waiter smiled and told him that Li Wenxiu had an account in their restaurant, and the money was directly deducted from his card.

"Cancel, debit me." Xie Xinqian handed over the credit card.

The waiter continued to smile: "The deducted amount cannot be reversed."

"What's the matter with you?" Xie Xin frowned, a little unhappy, "This is the table I reserved, and the dishes I ordered, how can I deduct his money?"

"But..." The waiter was a little embarrassed, and was about to explain, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

"What's going on?" Li Wenxiu's voice sounded, he had already put on his coat, holding Xie Xinqian's down jacket with his right arm, as if he was about to leave.

Xie Xinqian was startled, a little embarrassed: "You came out?"

"Well, I haven't seen you back for a long time." Li Wenxiu casually put his clothes on Xie Xinqian's shoulders, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Even though there was no physical contact, Xie Xinqian froze there for a moment, her ears burning.

The moment he approached just now, he seemed to smell the smell of Li Wenxiu's body, a faint woody fragrance, dry and warm, very nice.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had followed Li Wenxiu to the parking lot.

Xie Xinqian: "..."

Damn, beauty misleads people!

Xie Xinqian finally came back to her senses, turned around and walked back: "I haven't paid the bill yet."

Li Wenxiu: "I'm done."

"But we agreed, this is my treat for you..." Xie Xinqian said, with a grievance in her tone that she didn't realize.

Li Wenxiu didn't speak.

Xie Xinqian thought that the other party agreed, so she continued to turn around and walk back.

I didn't expect to be fixed in place as soon as I took a step.

Xie Xinqian looked down and saw a slender and powerful hand resting on his wrist.

Li Wenxiu took his hand.

Although it's just through a down jacket...

But he did feel the warmth of the man, and the force on his wrist.

"Then you invite me next time?" As if it was just a normal action, Li Wenxiu quickly let go of Xie Xinqian's hand, and said calmly, "When you become an adult, I will definitely let you pay the bill."

Xie Xinqian: "..."

It turned out that Li Wenxiu was taking care of him as a child, no wonder the action of putting on his clothes was so natural just now, and even pulled his wrist.

If he saw a brat running around, he would also want to reach out to help him...

Xie Xinqian said "oh", and followed Li Wenxiu to the parking lot, with a sense of loss that she didn't realize was in her tone.

However, just as they were about to get in the car, a group of men in black suddenly appeared around them.The movement was quick and quiet, as if appearing out of thin air.

Realizing that something was wrong, Xie Xinqian immediately stood in front of Li Wenxiu and quickly entered a defensive state.

The group of people passed him without looking sideways, and said to Li Wenxiu, "There is a mission."

Li Wenxiu nodded, and looked over with some regret: "Sorry, I can't take you home."

It turned out that they were together, Xie Xinqian shook her head: "It's okay, I can take a taxi back by myself."

Only then did the man in black set his gaze on Xie Xinqian, and asked expressionlessly, "Do you need to erase his memory?"

"No need," Li Wenxiu withdrew his gaze, "Let's go."

The man in black pointed his hand at the ground, and the next moment, a black circle about half a meter in diameter burst open on the ground, slowly engulfing the man on the ground.

Xie Xinqian lowered her head, only in time to take one last look at Li Wenxiu.

In the dimly lit parking lot, Li Wenxiu's body gradually disappeared into the darkness.

When meeting his gaze, there seemed to be a gleam of light in the man's dark eyes, but when Xie Xinqian took a closer look, Li Wenxiu's eyes were only dark, and gradually merged with the surrounding circles.

People disappeared one by one, and the ground of the parking lot returned to normal again, as if nothing had happened.

Xie Xinqian looked at the place where Li Wenxiu disappeared, and was silent for a long, long time.

***

Last night, Li Wenxiu invited him to play Xia Ze only verbally. The next day, the producer approached Xie Xinqian and his agent to formally sign the filming contract.

After that, Xie Xinqian read the script at home and never had any social activities.Five days later, he received a script reading notice from the crew of "Ponderable".

Because he was afraid of traffic jams, he set aside two hours on the road.But I didn't expect that the road was unimpeded today, and I arrived at the scene a full hour and a half earlier.

The reading place is a conference room, the table is surrounded by a whole circle, and now he is the only one.

Xie Xinqian found a place to sit down according to the seat card, and before she had time to take out the script, she heard footsteps coming from the door, and two staff members brought materials to arrange the scene.

"Mr. Xie!" A girl came in with a pile of water in her arms, and was startled when she saw Xie Xinqian in black, "Did you come so early?"

Xie Xinqian: "Sorry, I'm early."

"It's okay, do you drink water?" The girl handed him a bottle of mineral water and asked him if he had breakfast, saying that there were snacks and fruits in the lounge outside.

Xie Xinqian just looked at her without moving.

"What... what's wrong?" The girl was a little apprehensive, being stared at by such a handsome guy, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't help but blush.

"It's okay." Xie Xinqian took the water and asked again, "You look not very good, did you not have a good rest?"

"Yes, I often stay up late and work overtime recently." The girl rubbed her stiff shoulders, with a frustrated face, "I have heavy dark circles under my eyes, and my shoulders hurt too. Maybe I have suffered from frozen shoulder again."

It is not fatigue caused by overtime work, nor is it due to frozen shoulder.

Xie Xinqian's eyes fell on the girl's shoulder. A monster the size of a basketball was parasitic on it, greedily sucking the girl's energy.

Because it looks like a frog covered with meatballs, Xie Xinqian calls it a naked-eyed frog.

This is not the first time Xie Xinqian has encountered a naked-eyed frog. This monster is a parasitoid for people with weakened immune systems, and can expand from the size of a pea to the size of an elephant.When it becomes as big as an elephant, it is the moment when all the energy of the host is absorbed.

Next, the meatball eyes on the naked-eyed frog will separate from the body one by one like ripe fruits, and continue to search for the next host to parasitize.

Although Xie Xinqian concealed her abilities, she would not let this kind of pest monster go unnoticed.

"Where is the rest room?" Xie Xinqian stood up, and touched the girl's shoulder with her right hand naturally, "Can I have a cup of coffee?"

With his touch, the naked-eyed frog on the girl's shoulder seemed to be scalded, screaming and quickly dissipating into the air.

Huh?Why do I suddenly feel so much lighter?

The girl lowered her head in doubt, but Xie Xinqian had withdrawn her right hand, as if there was no touch.

Is it an illusion?

She raised her head and glanced at Xie Xinqian. The boy's expression was indifferent, and he didn't pay any attention to her.

Sure enough, it was an illusion, the girl looked back and said with a smile: "There is only capsule coffee, is that okay?"

"can."

When Xie Xinqian came in with a cup of coffee, she suddenly bumped into a blond boy head-on.The boy was about his height, wearing a row of exaggerated necklaces around his neck, and was staring at him warily.

The four eyes met, and neither side gave in.

After a while, Xie Xinqian put the coffee away in her arms and said, "I've already drank it."

Gu Xingye: "..."

"You're the only one here?" Gu Xingye asked.

"Are you looking for her?" Xie Xinqian paused, then turned around and asked the girl inside, "What's your name?"

Girl: "Li Xiaojie."

Xie Xinqian said "Oh", and said to her, "Gu Xingye is looking for you."

Gu Xingye: "..."

Li Xiaojie was still arranging the materials, her eyes lit up when she heard this, and she ran over excitedly: "Mr. Gu, is there anything I can do for you?"

Gu Xingye: "..."

Damn it, Xie Xinqian dug a hole for him.

But he couldn't blame a staff member, Gu Xingye glanced at the cup in Xie Xinqian's hand, and said in a stiff tone, "Is there any more coffee?"

"Yes," Li Xiaojie said cheerfully, "You drink black coffee, right?"

"En." Gu Xingye responded indifferently, and once again looked at Xie Xinqian's face, "It's just the two of you here? Was there no one else just now?"

Xie Xin shook her head: "Not anymore."

Where did the power fluctuation just now come from?

Gu Xingye took out his phone and looked at it, his brows were furrowed tightly.

There is indeed a supernatural reaction, but the disappearance speed is too fast. Could it be that there is something wrong with the sensing device?

Impossible, so many people are using this app, it would have happened long ago.Then there is only one possibility...

Gu Xingye's eyes fell on Xie Xinqian's cold and beautiful face, Li Wenxiu personally brought him into the company, and appointed him as the leading actor - Xie Xinqian is also the same kind?

……

People arrived at the scene one after another, and the originally deserted meeting room gradually became lively.

Xie Xinqian didn't know anyone, and he wasn't the type to socialize actively, so he sat quietly and read the script the whole time.It's just that when someone pushed the door and came in, he would raise his head to take a look, but quickly looked away in frustration.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the reading of the script of "Practice of Piousness" officially started, but Xie Xinqian still did not see Li Wenxiu.

At the beginning, it was just a step-by-step confrontation, until it came to the occasion of Xie Xinqian and Gu Xingye, the smell of gunpowder suddenly increased.

Gu Xingye played the detective Zhou Yun, and had several scenes with Xia Ze played by Xie Xinqian.

After his classmate died, Xia Ze has been secretly investigating the cause of his death.The police did not want him to interfere in the investigation, and were also afraid that he would be in danger, so they ordered him to be prohibited from continuing the investigation.On the surface Xia Ze nodded and agreed, but actually turned around and went to investigate the case secretly.

After three or five times, the police had no choice but to let it go.

The other police officers believed that Xia Ze was investigating the cause of his classmate's death, but Zhou Yun suspected that Xia Ze had something to do with the murder and began to secretly investigate his whereabouts.

Now what they are facing is the scene of the first head-to-head confrontation.

Zhou Yun, played by Gu Xingye, is a policeman who takes the initiative to attack and has a firm stand. He seems to be a very strong party.

Xia Ze, played by Xie Xinqian, is a law student who investigates privately. He answers passively and hides secrets. He seems to be the weak side.

But in fact, Xia Ze has been controlling the rhythm of this interrogation, because it is Zhou Yun who has no clue who is cornered.

When playing against each other, Xie Xinqian well demonstrated the momentum of being in a weak position but dominating the scene.

Not to be outdone, Gu Xingye was so excited by Xie Xinqian that he entered the scene, and a gleam burst out of his eyes.

The climax is even more tit-for-tat, not like reading a script, but like a hearty live performance.

Until the end of the play between the two, after a short silence, there was a burst of applause from around.

The first round of reading was over, and it was already twelve o'clock at noon.

The crew ordered lunch, and the assistant Zhou Ming brought Xie Xinqian a box of lunch. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Xie, did you offend Gu Xingye?"

Xie Xinqian thought for a while, then shook her head: "I haven't met him before."

"Then why does he keep targeting you?" Zhou Ming was puzzled, "I just saw you two play each other, and thought there was going to be a fight."

"It's just work." Xie Xinqian broke off the disposable chopsticks and bowed her head to eat, not taking this matter to heart.

He could vaguely feel that Gu Xingye was targeting him, but as long as it didn't interfere with his work, he didn't care how others treated him.

Gao Jiawen opened her mouth. She didn't like to gossip behind others.

But seeing Xie Xinqian's nonchalant expression, and worrying that he was unprepared and stepping on a thunderbolt, he hesitated for a while before saying: "I probably know something."

Xie Xin raised her eyebrows.

"Originally, Gu Xingye wanted to play the male lead." Gu Xingye is also an artist under Sirui Media, and Gao Jiawen has received a lot more information than others, "but I heard that he recommended himself many times, but was rejected by Li Yingdi."

Xie Xinqian was a little surprised, which he did not expect.

"That's why he took the second place and played a supporting role." Zhou Ming nodded, suddenly realizing, "No wonder he targeted Xiao Xie so much, and I wouldn't be happy to replace him. He is top-notch, but he was overthrown by Xiao Xie." ..."

Xie Xinqian glanced at him lightly.

Only then did Zhou Ming realize what he had said, and immediately closed his mouth tightly.

Seeing that Xie Xinqian's complexion was not good, Gao Jiawen reprimanded Zhou Ming a few words, and then comforted him: "Don't think too much, since Teacher Li and the director both chose you, there must be their reasons."

"Well, I know." Xie Xinqian would not be troubled by these external factors, he packed the lunch box and threw it into the trash can, then turned and went to the bathroom.

Someone in the bathroom was cutting her hair in front of the mirror, Xie Xin took a quick look, then looked away, and stood in the sink next to her.

"I didn't expect you to get the leading actor. It's too good." The boy who cut his hair took a look at Xie Xinqian, showing a bit of surprise on his carefully drawn face.

Xie Xin nodded.

He remembered that this person was called Qiu Jianming, who played the role of the victim Meng Haiyang, and had met on the day of the audition.

But the two didn't meet each other, Xie Xinqian didn't say much, and his attitude was a bit rusty.

The boy was not overwhelmed by his indifference, and leaned over enthusiastically, and continued: "The same person who interviewed Meng Haiyang, I can only get a supporting role after being selected, but you can still get the leading role after losing the selection, I am really happy I admire it. But the manager told me, you don’t like men, and you can’t endure that kind of hardship. If you are really given this opportunity, would you dare to take it? I thought about it..."

Speaking of this, Qiu Jianming smiled happily: "For a conservative person like me, let's continue to be my supporting role."

Qiu Jianming's words were clearly a compliment and a derogation, but he almost pointed out that Xie Xinqian got the role after sleeping with the director or producer.

"But how do I remember?" The toilet compartment opened, and a lazy voice sounded, "You got the role because Xie Xinqian didn't play Meng Haiyang?"

Xie Xinqian turned her head and saw a slender blond boy, the necklace around his neck was shining under the lamp.

Qiu Jianming's expression changed immediately, and he stammered: "Gu, Brother Gu..."

Gu Xingye walked between the two, his delicate face was full of rebelliousness: "If I understand correctly, you are the substitute, right?"

Qiu Jianming had never been bullied like this before, his face turned red and then turned pale, and he looked at Xie Xinqian angrily.

"Why, not convinced?" Gu Xingye raised his eyebrows.

He is well-known in the circle for his bad temper, and he has done everything that is too extreme. Now he has no psychological burden at all to deal with a young actor.

Qiu Jianming pursed his lips, then raised his head, with a broken expression: "Yes, I'm just not convinced! How can Xie Xinqian, the [-]th line, get the leading actor? Isn't it because of his good looks? Is the butt up and unspoken rules for high-level executives?"

Xie Xinqian: "?"

Who the fuck has a raised ass?
