His agent, Wen Ya, called and told Ren Xuanyu that there was a change in his schedule and the interview for next Thursday's advertisement would be postponed. Ren Xuanyu held his phone between his shoulders and was busy mixing the cake mixture. He asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"Nothing. The company got you an audition for a period drama directed by Yuan Xiaojun. It's a big production."
Ren Xuanyu did not stop what he was doing. "TV series? I'm not interested. "
From the small screen to the big screen, Ren Xuanyu had spent a lot of effort. In recent years, he had been focusing on the film industry and had not paid attention to the field of TV series. He did not know about the director Yuan Xiaojun.
"You don't understand. This level of TV series is aimed at the phenomenal level. You won this award this year and are considered to be in the A-list. But if you go to the square and talk to an old lady dancing, they will definitely not recognize you. Do you believe it or not?" Wen Ya said.
"You mean I still have to attract the basic audience?"
"Don't be reluctant." Wen Ya's tone became strict. "The script is based on 'The Battle of Dock Dam'. I have read the novel and it is very interesting. If you get the male lead, it will be another role that will leave a strong mark on your career."
"Thick ink and color?" Ren Xuanyu threw his phone on the table and turned on the hands-free mode. He smiled absent-mindedly. "I'll read the novel later."
"Ren Xuanyu, Yuan Han will be going for the audition next Thursday."
Ren Xuanyu's hand that was holding the egg beater paused.
Wen Ya waited patiently for Ren Xuanyu's reply. After a while, she heard Ren Xuanyu's calm voice. "I'll go."
After hanging up the phone, Ren Xuanyu broke a few pieces of chocolate and threw them into the cake mixture. He remembered that he had been hooked by Wen Ya's words. He was angry and threw the egg beater into the bowl. "I'll go."
The relationship between Ren Xuanyu and Yuan Han was a long story.
Eight years ago, Ren Xuanyu was nineteen years old. His face was so tender that water could be squeezed out of it. He was studying computer science in school. Although he was quite popular because of his good looks, and he was also dragged by the school's drama club to play the role of a lousy prince, Ren Xuanyu never thought of becoming an actor.
Until he met Yuan Han.
When Yuan Han came to their school to shoot a movie, Ren Xuanyu happened to be in class. The window seat was perfect. Together with the other absent-minded students, they looked out of the window. Yuan Han's female partner was only good at crying and shouting. She made more than ten NGs. At first, Ren Xuanyu's attention was on the poor female lead, but in the second half of the class, he kept staring at Yuan Han.
For the first time, Ren Xuanyu realized that acting could make a person who was not very good-looking become dazzling. He narrowed the distance of dozens of meters to the tip of his nose. He adjusted the focusing ability of his eyes to the maximum. Against the dazzling sunlight, he recognized the blue veins on Yuan Han's forehead bulging when he was in pain.
Those perfunctory and amateur gestures in the drama club could only be regarded as cosplay at best.
After class, Ren Xuanyu asked his classmates to help him get food. He also accepted the invitation to open a group of people to play games. He went to the crew and talked to the staff, saying that he wanted Yuan Han's autograph.
The staff pointed to the side and said, "Yuan Han is there. You can go there."
Only then did Ren Xuanyu realize that Yuan Han was sitting not far away, eating his lunch box. He was a little embarrassed that he did not recognize him. He ran to greet Yuan Han cautiously and handed him his notebook. Yuan Han was very easy-going. He put down the lunch box and gave him his autograph. He even asked if he wanted to write some blessings.
Ren Xuanyu was very surprised. After witnessing Yuan Han's dazzling state in the afternoon, he thought that Yuan Han should be a big shot. He did not expect him to be so friendly. He thought for a while and said, "Please write: I wish Ren Xuanyu find his dream."
Yuan Han asked him which three characters should be in his name. He raised his pen and wrote. His handwriting was very elegant. When he finished, he looked up and smiled at him. "I wish you find your dream."
From that moment on, Ren Xuanyu decided to worship Yuan Han as his idol.
However, after returning home, Ren Xuanyu went online to search for information. He found that Yuan Han's encyclopedic information only had a few paragraphs of introduction. There were also very few photos. In the TV series filmed by their school, Yuan Han played a role that was not clear whether he was the fourth or fifth male lead. However, it was already the most prominent role in his resume.
Ren Xuanyu frowned as he studied the TV series in which Yuan Han appeared. He found that the main reason why Yuan Han did not receive any attention was his appearance and age. He was still very young. At this age, most of the roles required emotional scenes. Naturally, he had to be good-looking. Otherwise, he could only play a small role. And the roles that required acting skills were mostly experienced actors. Because of this, Yuan Han's acting path was very narrow. Naturally, he could not stand out.
Ren Xuanyu's roommate at the next table was watching a martial arts TV series. Ren Xuanyu looked at the actor who was pretending to be handsome under the poor special effects. A certain thought took root in his mind.
The next year, after a small-scale audition, Ren Xuanyu starred in a certain carbonated beverage commercial and officially debuted.
Another four years later, Ren Xuanyu had become a slightly famous actor. At that time, Yuan Han, who was 30 years old, had just started to develop his ambitions. Some media said that he was a late bloomer.
Ren Xuanyu accidentally received an invitation to a private dinner party. At the party, he met his idol, Yuan Han. When he was about to go forward to talk to him, he saw that Yuan Han was dragged into a dark corner. Ren Xuanyu anxiously followed and saw that Yuan Han was pressed against the wall and kissed. Yuan Han did not resist, and his clothes were messy. The scene was very hot.
And the person who was pressing Yuan Han was Shen Huai.
Not long after the dinner party, Yuan Han won the Best Actor Award. In his acceptance speech, he specially thanked the boss of the Shrike. In the live broadcast of the award ceremony, the camera was focused on the CEO of the Shrike, Peng Rulin. However, Peng Rulin did not greet the camera. Some people said that it was because the boss Yuan Han referred to was Shen Huai, not Peng Rulin.
This little episode was not noticed by anyone.
The next day, Ren Xuanyu accepted the olive branch of the Shrike and signed a contract with the Shrike after his original contract with the company was over.
However, he still did not manage to talk to Yuan Han. Three months later, Yuan Han left the Shrike and set up his own film and television company. The news about the Shrike spread like wildfire. Yuan Han had long planned to take a lot of resources and connections with him, including the best agent of the Shrike, Shen Min.
At that time, Ren Xuanyu was just a small role and could not participate in the core information network. However, he felt that Yuan Han was not as scheming as the rumors said.
That night, he ran into Yuan Han and Shen Huai being intimate. The two almost gave in on the spot, but Shen Huai was called away by a phone call. Yuan Han tidied up his clothes alone and went to the balcony to smoke. Ren Xuanyu saw that he had a cigarette in his mouth, and his tears fell, wetting the paper wrapped in tobacco.
At that moment, in Ren Xuanyu's heart, Shen Huai's feeling was like the wet cigarette on Yuan Han's lips, indicating bitterness and fierceness.
With a "ding" sound from the oven, the cake emitted a strong aroma. Ren Xuanyu took out the dessert, took off his heat-resistant gloves, and sent a WeChat message to Shen Huai.
Ren Xuanyu: I made a chocolate cake.
Shen Huai replied quickly.
Shen Huai: I'll go back to eat tonight, but I want to eat you first.
Ren Xuanyu: Then you have to hurry up, I'm about to melt.
Shen Huai: Damn it.
Shen Huai: Are you an ice cream?
Ren Xuanyu: Yes, you're a refrigerator.
Shen Huai:?
Ren Xuanyu: I can't get hard without you.
Shen Huai: … Damn it.
Ren Xuanyu put down his phone, and while cooling the cake, he prepared the cream. At that moment, Shen Huai's WeChat message came again.
Shen Huai: By the way, I really like the male lead in "The Battle of Dock Dam," you have to perform well.
It turned out that this was Shen Huai's arrangement … Immediately after sleeping with him, he would reward him. This was indeed Shen Huai's style.
Did Shen Huai know that Yuan Han also participated in the audition?
Ren Xuanyu pursed his lips, and just happened to touch the cocoa powder on his face. He tasted slightly bitter in his mouth.
Ren Xuanyu: If I get the role that Boss Shen likes, will Boss Shen like me twice as much?
Shen Huai: Yes, I like you more than a dozen times.
