"Sister Chen."
Lin Xi pulled Chen Jia's sleeve and whispered, "Did I look like a vicious male supporting character on TV just now?"
"Yes! Very much so! "Chen Jia rolled her eyes.
She said, "Hurry up and get in the car.
Change your clothes in the car. "
Lin Xi giggled.
He got in the car and changed his clothes.
"You don't have to be too nervous.
The competition for this role is not very big. The director is just looking. As long as your performance is not too bad, there will be no problem. But you are a newcomer. After you enter the crew … "
Chen Jia rambled on as he drove.
Lin Xi nodded along the way. The phone rang.
Chen Jia stopped nagging and picked up the phone. Lin Xi was secretly relieved.
After hearing Chen Jia say "hmm" twice,
She suddenly raised her voice. "What?"
She slammed on the brakes.
She cursed, "Damn it.
You are making trouble for me! "
She hung up the phone.
She said to Lin Xi, "I have something urgent now. You get off here and take a taxi to the studio.
I will find someone to pick you up at the door. Remember! Don't be nervous.
Just play as usual.
No one will make things difficult for you … I will find you when I am done. "
Lin Xi got out of the car and waved. "Goodbye, Sister Chen."
However, he arrived at the studio after 20 minutes. He waited at the door for another 20 minutes, but no one came to pick him up. He called Chen Jia again, but one call was in the middle of the phone, and the other one was not answered. She must be very busy.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Lin Xi decided to find her by himself. He had been in the studio these days, so he was familiar with the road. But he did not know which set it was. He could only call out the unreliable system. "Do you know where the audition is?"
Jinjiang 123 patted its chest loudly. "Of course I know. How can such a small thing be difficult for me?"
Lin Xi decided to believe it for once and said, "Turn on the navigation."
Since Jinjiang 123 moved in, Lin Xi's broken mobile phone flew quickly. The navigation flashed on, and the red arrow lit up from where he stood, pointing to the destination.
It was not far from here. Lin Xi walked for another 20 minutes. The map on the mobile phone was enlarged, and there were moving avatars in it. One of the avatars was glowing green, flashing.
What a thoughtful service.
Lin Xi followed the green light and found a young man in his thirties with a crew cut. He put down his phone and asked, "Excuse me, where is the audition?"
The young man sized him up for a while and asked, "Which company are you from? Who's your agent? What's his name? "
After Lin Xi reported his name, he pointed in the direction and said, "You're late, do you know that? Hurry up and put on your makeup and change your clothes. "
Lin Xi thanked him and left.
The young man turned to look at the records and muttered to himself, "Hey, there's no mention of anyone from HC coming today? Did you forget something? "
*****
Coming out of the dressing room, Lin Xi almost thought that he had traveled through time. This was a small quaint garden, where more than 20 teenagers in loose robes and big sleeves were scattered. All of them had delicate features, red lips, and white teeth, and had outstanding looks that could make girls scream.
The youths were either sipping tea, reading books, playing chess, lowering their heads to look at the fish swimming in the water, or looking at the scenery in the distance with their hands behind their backs. All of them were gentle and filled with a quaint charm.
Lin Xi compared his clothes with theirs and understood that these people should be here for the audition, just like him. He couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that there were so many people competing for a role, but the competition was not big. If there was a big competition, how could he survive with his walk-on acting skills? It seemed that he couldn't count on the system. He had to practice it himself.
In fact, he was used to believing that only the things he really mastered through learning were his own. But he didn't know why, the skills given to him by the system made him feel at ease, as if they were instincts.
Seeing the newcomer come in, most of the teenagers looked at him. Lin Xi smiled back and found a place that looked like the end of the line to sit down. Sitting next to him was a teenager in a white robe, who was playing chess with a book. Seeing Lin Xi sit down, the teenager smiled at him, pushed a plate of grapes to him, and said, "You look tired, don't you? Do you want to eat something? "
Lin Xi said, "A little bit."
Then he asked, "Can this be eaten?" He was tired and thirsty at the moment, and the crystal clear grapes looked attractive.
The teenager smiled and said, "They are put here for us to eat!"
Lin Xi glanced around and found that others were also drinking tea and eating snacks, so he didn't hesitate to pick a big one and peel it to eat.
Seeing this, the teenager smiled and lowered his head to look at the book, slowly placing chess pieces. His every move was quite ancient.
Lin Xi ate several grapes, but he didn't hear anyone calling his number, and no one came to deliver the script. He didn't know whether the audition was too slow or it hadn't started yet. But the others seemed to be much calmer than him, as if they were addicted to such role-playing, reading books and playing chess. They didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
But "seemed" was just "seemed". After a few glances, Lin Xi found that these people seemed to be fascinated, but in fact, they were absent-minded. They put on an empty posture, but their eyes quietly drifted to the other side from time to time.
The person they were looking at was a tall man. He was also dressed in ancient clothing, but his black robe embroidered with golden threads was much more dignified than the elegant long robes worn by the group of youths. When the man wore it, he gave off a domineering aura.
The man was talking to a teenager in a green shirt. His attitude was calm. The teenager had a smile on his face, but his back was straight, and he looked a little nervous. The man said a few words and walked over. The teenager looked annoyed. Obviously, he was not satisfied with his performance. He looked at this side unwillingly and turned away.
Lin Xi suddenly understood. It turned out that this was the audition. It was novel.
Then he looked at the teenager who had just talked to him and sighed. No wonder everyone said that the entertainment circle was complicated. Today, he finally saw it. The audition should have started as soon as they entered the door. No wonder these people all put on an elegant and classic style. Even if they were eating snacks and drinking tea, they were still elegant and leisurely … As soon as the teenager saw him, he gave him grapes that had to be peeled, spat out seeds, and had to be juiced. His intention could be imagined.
Lin Xi thought, but his hands did not stop. While eating grapes, he watched the fun. Suddenly, the familiar music sounded. He was stunned for a moment before he realized that his cell phone was ringing. More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at him with incredible expressions. Did he have to spoil the atmosphere like this?
Lin Xi smiled, got up to wash his hands in the basin, and walked away to answer the phone. "Sister Chen … Well, I found the place … I just put on my makeup and am waiting for the audition. Don't worry … Well, I know. Sister Chen, if you have something to do, I can handle it myself … After the audition, I'll take a taxi home. Don't worry, I won't get lost … I'm 18 years old, not a child …"
When he hung up the phone and came back, he found that his throne of eating grapes had been occupied. The man in a black robe was leaning on the back of the chair leisurely. He was clearly looking up at him, but with a kind of condescending momentum. He looked handsome and cold, with long eyebrows like swords. His narrow eyes were deep and sharp, and his expression was a little indifferent. Seeing him look over, he raised a smile between his thin lips. "Do you want to play chess?"
His voice was low and even a little hoarse, but it tickled people's hearts and made their ears hot.
Lin Xi looked around and found that he was the only one left. It was his turn so soon?
He walked to the man and sat down, asking, "Really?"
A strange color flashed through the man's eyes. The young man's voice was so moving, clean and distant. There seemed to be lingering between his lips and teeth, which made people want to keep listening to him like this.
He smiled and said, "Of course, really. You first? "
Lin Xi blinked. He had never heard that the audition required chess skills. But since he was here, he would take it as it came. He did not refuse. He put a chess piece on Zhongyuan and said, "Please."
He remembered that there was a chess skill at the expert level in the system. He would use it on credit first!
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Rui looked at the messy chessboard and rubbed his forehead. My chess skills are not so bad, right? How could a random child abuse me like this?
He was holding a chess piece in his hand and worrying about where to put it. Suddenly, there was a burst of music. Lin Xi smiled at him embarrassedly. Xiao Rui nodded to indicate that it was okay. Seeing the young man get up to answer the phone, Xiao Rui put down the chess piece with relief. Then he heard a lion's roar from the young man's mobile phone. "Lin Xi! Where the hell did you go?! "
Lin Xi was startled. "I … I'm at the audition!"
"What audition? I've been waiting for you for an hour, but you didn't arrive. I called the boss! "
Lin Xi said aggrievedly, "But I'm really at the audition!"
"Where are you at the audition?"
"The set … what set? Uh, wait a minute, let me ask. "Lin Xi covered the phone and said," Xiao, um, Teacher Xiao, what film is this set? "
Xiao Rui chuckled, and his domineering aura instantly dissipated. He smiled and said, "Vertical and Horizontal."
Lin Xi put the phone back to his ear, shrank his neck and repeated it. Chen Jia sighed on the phone. "Sure enough, none of them are easy to deal with … You went to the wrong set! Go to the set of 'Too Late to Say I Love You' now. I'll be right there. "
Lin Xi was dumbfounded. He should have known that the system was unreliable!
Chen Jia asked again, "Why did you go to 'Vertical and Horizontal'?"
Lin Xi said, "I waited at the gate of the film and television city for half an hour and didn't see anyone. I heard that there was an audition here, so I came here myself."
Chen Jia patted his head and said, "Ah! It's my fault. I didn't tell you clearly! Wait for me! " Door, door, door, but one went to the gate of the film and television city to wait, and the other went to the gate of the set to pick him up … He was really too busy!
Lin Xi put down the phone. Xiao Rui smiled and said, "So you know who I am!"
Lin Xi said, "How can I not recognize Teacher Xiao? I just thought it was an audition just now, so I didn't dare to recognize you. Uh, well, I seem to have gone to the wrong set. I'm really sorry for wasting your time, Teacher Xiao. Then … I'll get going first? "He was also a member of the entertainment industry. How could he not know Mr. Xiao?
Xiao Rui nodded. Seeing the young man hurriedly running to the exit, he couldn't help but call, "Lin Xiaoxi."
Lin Xi turned his head. "Huh?"
Xiao Rui smiled. "See you later."
Lin Xi nodded, took two steps, and turned back. "My name is not Lin Xiaoxi, it's Lin Xi."
"Okay, got it, Lin Xiaoxi."
Call me Lin Xiaoxi!
Lin Xi was furious, but he didn't have the time and courage to argue with Mr. Xiao. He hurriedly ran to remove his makeup.
*****
When Lin Xi came out after removing his makeup, Chen Jia had already arrived. He first apologized repeatedly and then took him to the set of "Don't Tell".
Compared with the strange audition method of "Vertical and Horizontal", the audition method of "Don't Tell" was simple. Chen Jia led him to say a few words to the director. He didn't even have to recite a line. Then it was settled. He would enter the set in a week.
"Don't Tell" was a long TV series about a love story during the Anti-Japanese War. Lin Xi's role was not important, but he was very likable. He was the younger brother of the female lead. When he was young, he was separated from the female lead and wandered to the opera troupe to sing. At first, he acted superficial and philistine. Later, he found out that his real identity was an underground gang member … So after being awe-inspiring for half an episode, he died heroically.
Lin Xi also knew that there was such a good role waiting for him as soon as he debuted. However, that person was his boss. He couldn't refuse such a fact and didn't bother to argue with him anymore. Anyway, the previous account had been settled. The so-called kept woman was just a joke. As for these, he just treated it as a normal work arrangement.
After the work was settled, Chen Jia didn't allow him to play a small role anymore. She asked him to concentrate on studying the script at home. Lin Xi roughly read it several times and found the scenes of the plays mentioned in the script that he would sing on stage. He played them repeatedly on TV and learned to babble.
His body coordination was excellent. He could learn any movement as soon as he learned it. His voice was also excellent. He dared not say that he had learned it in a few days, but it was more than enough for him to strike a pose.
That day, when he was practicing, Chen Jia called, "Get ready tonight. You will enter the set tomorrow."
Lin Xi said, "Oh," and said, "Has the schedule been pushed forward?"
Chen Jia said, "No. This time it's not 'Don't Tell', but 'Vertical and Horizontal'. Didn't you go to the wrong set to audition that day? You were selected. I have already talked to the director of 'Don't Tell'. Your schedule will be pushed back. "
Lin Xi was stunned. What did he do to be selected?
He asked, "Sister Chen, what role do I play? Where is the script? "
Chen Jia was speechless. "Little ancestor, you went to the audition yourself. You don't even know what role you are playing?"
Lin Xi muttered in a low voice, "I don't even know what crew it is!"
Chen Jia sighed and said, "If you don't know, then I don't know either. Director Wang is very protective of this role. I only know that he has been casting everywhere since before the start of filming. But now that the film is about to be finished, he accidentally cast you. The role should be important. 'Vertical and Horizontal' is a big production. It's not easy to have such an opportunity. You must cherish it, okay?
During this period of time, we have to concentrate on shooting your scenes. It may be hard. You have to be mentally prepared. Also, Director Wang is very strict with the film. His tone may be a little harsh. Even old actors were scolded by him until they cried … You must bear with it when you are scolded, okay? You are a newcomer. It's not time for you to throw a tantrum … "
When Chen Jia became long-winded, Lin Xi could only agree. After a long while, Chen Jia stopped. After a while, she asked, "Lin Xi, do you know that Boss's marriage has been canceled?"
"Ah?"
Chen Jia's usual cheerful voice became soft. She said, "Although Boss's marriage has been canceled, he has a new person by his side. Lin Xi, forget about the past. Do your own things. Act, sing, be a big star … En? "
"En, okay." Lin Xi smiled and said, "Be a big star."
Chen Jia smiled and said, "That's right. Go to bed early. I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi summoned Jinjiang123. "Do you know why Boss canceled the marriage?"
"Of course I know. It's my instinct to check the world's main storyline!" Jinjiang123's gloating voice sounded. "Because Gu Qingcang went to check the DNA and found that the little guy was really his child. So, the image of the female lead as an optimistic and strong single mother instantly turned into a scheming woman … You know, if Gu Qingcang wanted an illegitimate child, he would have already had one. Why would he be grateful to the female lead for secretly leaving him a child?
"It's one thing to spend money on a shield to marry, but it's another to take a scheming woman as your wife. Although Gu Qingcang already has feelings for the child, he is determined not to marry the female lead for the sake of the child. So, he wants to use a sum of money to exchange for the child's custody.
"However, the female lead is also determined not to agree. She said that if it weren't for the fact that she pitied the child, she would never agree to marry him. Since he misses her so much, she has nothing to do with him, the child has nothing to do with him, and so on. Then, as expected, she didn't pick up the Gu family's call. The Gu family's parents wanted to see their grandson, but they were stopped outside. Then, the Gu family's parents went back and scolded Gu Qingcang …
In short, the male and female leads' families are in a mess. These few days, Gu Qingcang has been living in the company and refusing to go home. "
Lin Xi nodded gloatingly. He could now treat Gu Qingcang with the mentality of watching a show. He suddenly felt that this show was very exciting.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "I remember that Qiao Maner was already in her twenties when she was pregnant with the baby. She was not an ignorant girl. She had no other relatives, and her grandmother was not in good health. The pressure of life was on her alone. The experience of being pregnant was definitely not pleasant … Under such circumstances, how did she decide to give birth to the child?"
Although he had never experienced it, he knew that it was definitely not easy to be pregnant, give birth, and take care of a child. Qiao Maner should not have had the energy at that time. Most importantly, the child was left behind after being forced … She could not be so motherly that she suddenly had a strong motherly feeling for the cell cluster in her stomach that was only the size of a fingertip, right? For ordinary people, even if they really wanted to have a child, they would not leave behind such a thing!
Jinjiang123 sneered and said, "If you know something else, you won't find it strange … In the lounge where the two of them had a one-night stand, there was a call button by the bed. Within a minute, a waiter would come in to ask for their needs."
Lin Xi was dumbfounded and said, "So this is what you mean by silly and sweet?"
Jinjiang123 said, "The book said that she was silly and sweet, so she was! At the very least, in the eyes of the original Gu Qingcang, she had always maintained her silly and sweet image. To be honest, if she was really silly and sweet, how could she fight against all the lovers around Gu Qingcang? How could she fight against the white moonlight who was finally willing to accept Gu Qingcang? That's why fairy tales are all lies. However, her IQ is only in this aspect. She is indeed silly and naive enough in other things. " Not only was she silly, but she also liked to add scenes for herself. As a result, after she became Mrs. Gu, she was deceived time and time again. In the end, it ended in a divorce.
Lin Xi sighed and said, "In that case, if Gu Qingcang doesn't marry her, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future."
Jinjiang123 said, "There's no need to wait for the future."
"Huh?"
Jinjiang123 said leisurely, "Just now, Qiao Maner called Gu Qingcang and cried that the child was missing in the park."
Lin Xi exclaimed and said angrily, "Isn't she afraid that she will really lose the child?"
Jinjiang123 said, "Of course not. The security in that area is very good. There has never been a kidnapping of children."
Lin Xi said, "You know where the child is, right?"
"Yes."
"Call the police."
"Okay."
Jinjiang123 called the police anonymously. Lin Xi hugged a pillow and leaned against the back of the sofa. He said, "I'm a little regretful."
"Regret what?" His master regretted it. The sun must have risen from the west!
Lin Xi said angrily, "I regret bickering with Qiao Maner that day … Those two should get married quickly so that they won't harm others!"
Jinjiang123 said, "Then you shouldn't have asked me to call the police just now. Let them search for a few more hours together. Two people will comfort each other after anxiously anticipating the same thing and the same person. Their feelings will quickly warm up … The same thing will happen a few more times, and the two people will naturally fall in love!"
Lin Xi frowned when he heard that. He said, "I suddenly remember that there seems to be something like losing a child in the original plot?"
Jinjiang123 said, "Not only that, but this matter also has something to do with Gu Qingcang's lover. Then, he began to stop fooling around outside …"
Suddenly, he realized that this sentence seemed to have included his master, so he quickly shut up.
Fortunately, Lin Xi did not argue with him. He only frowned slightly. He was extremely disgusted that he had been involved in this matter previously. He decided not to think too much about it and began to settle old scores. "You know very well about these people. Why can't you understand when I ask you to show me the way?"
Jinjiang123 choked and retorted, "If I didn't point you in the wrong direction, would you have the chance to do whatever you want?"
