Chapter 16: A beast in human clothing

...

"Listen, it sounds like a whistle."

"Who's whistling?"

"Why does this whistle give me such a creepy feeling?"

Accompanied by the whistle of "Devil Angel", Xu Kai, wearing a neat suit, a spotless white shirt and a sky blue tie, walked out of the dressing room with steps that matched the rhythm of the whistle.

Although Xu Kai was still the same Xu Kai, with no major changes on his face, and he didn't even wear a hood, everyone present felt that Xu Kai had changed.

The cold and indifferent expression, the upright and steady posture, the meticulous attire, the steps that seemed to step on one's heart with every step, and the chilling whistle.

In an instant, Xu Kai caught everyone's attention.

What's even more amazing is that Xu Kai came in front of everyone, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and gently adjusted his tie while smoking.

It is this simple action that makes Xu Kai's dark and ascetic temperament burst out, and it also makes people realize that the story of this character is not just about a simple and pale villain.

"A beast in human clothing!"

"Sven thug!"

“That’s the feeling!”

“That’s the feeling!”

Linda pointed at Xu Kai and said, "This is the Yu Lianying I want!"

As soon as Lin Da said this, Song Zhigang's gloomy face immediately turned pale with fear!

"Director Lin, didn't we agree to let Huang Zhiheng play Yu Lianying? Brother Wang has almost finished the discussion with Huang Zhiheng."

"When did I agree to let Huang Zhiheng play Yu Lianying? Didn't I say that Huang Zhiheng has acting skills, but he can't fight at all? And using a double will destroy the core of our play, which is real performance and real swords and guns and real punches?"

What made Song Zhigang furious was that Lin Da just found the actor he liked and immediately turned against him.

But Song Zhigang still argued: "But didn't we already think of Plan B before? We arranged a capable subordinate for Yu Lianying, and let Huang Zhiheng interpret Yu Lianying's literary role?"

In order to promote Huang Zhiheng, who he had arranged, and to suppress Xu Kai, whom he hated, Song Zhigang had no choice but to make the next best choice: "Director Lin, do you think this will work? We can let Yu Qingyun play Yu Lianying's capable subordinate. Isn't this what you planned before?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Da was not moved at all. He pointed at Xu Kai and asked Song Zhigang: "Do you think Huang Zhiheng can suppress him?"

Song Zhigang was speechless.

After all, Song Zhigang has been in the entertainment industry for several years, so he still has some vision. How could he not see how powerful Xu Kai's aura is at this moment? Although Huang Zhiheng is also good at portraying villains, creating classic characters requires a touch of luck, and the right time, right place, and right people are all indispensable.

Song Zhigang really couldn't guarantee that Huang Zhiheng could create another classic villain role in "Escape".

To take a step back, even if Huang Zhiheng could create another classic villain, he might not be able to suppress the beast in human skin and the polite thug portrayed by Xu Kai.

In a movie, one big villain is enough. If there are more, it would be superfluous.

Wang Bin is not in the group, so Linda is now the largest person in the entire "Escape" crew.

Moreover, Lin Da was a famous director that Wang Bin had to invite with great effort. Wang Bin had to discuss things with Lin Da in a friendly manner. How could Song Zhigang, Wang Bin's follower, dare to confront Lin Da? In the end, Song Zhigang could only choose to shut up first and prepare to tell Wang Bin about this matter in a while, so that Wang Bin could change Lin Da's mind.

On the other side, Xu Yun and others cheered after hearing Lin Da's "golden words"! Among them, Xu Yun, who should have been mature and prudent, cheered the most.

Xu Yun’s biggest dream has always been to create a star and make him his signature brand.

Who would have thought that now both of his sons might be able to help him realize his dream.

How could Xu Yun not be excited? "It seems that our Xu family is about to have a turn for the better!"

…

Kyoto.

Friendship Hospital.

Han Mingze, who replaced Xu Kai as the lead singer and lead guitarist of the Big Bird band, drank nearly two kilograms of white wine with Wang Bin in order to help Dong Ye's sister Dong Ni get an acting opportunity in "Escape". As a result, he had gastric bleeding and was hospitalized.

Big Bird Band's drummer Xiong Zijian, keyboardist Qi Siyu and bassist Gu Linlin came to visit Han Mingze.

"This room is nice." Xiong Zijian said carelessly, then picked up an apple, rubbed it twice, and started to eat it.

"No way, it's just a case of vomiting blood. Do you have to be so exaggerated? You even have to be hospitalized. How much will it cost?" Qi Siyu said.

"Brother Ze, this is a little gift from me." Gulinlin handed a red envelope to Han Mingze.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Han Mingze was disappointed to see that Dong didn't come to see him, but he didn't show it.

Taking the red envelope from Gu Linlin, Han Mingze said with a smile: "Don't be so polite next time. You should learn more from Daxiong and Daqi. When you come to see me as a patient, not only don't take gifts, you should also take something away."

Qi Siyu, who was putting milk into his pocket, didn't care when he heard Han Mingze's words. He laughed and scolded, "Can you blame me and Daxiong for this? If you could help us make some money, we wouldn't have to go around raiding everywhere."

Xiong Zijian ate up the apple, picked up a banana, and peeled it while saying, "That's right, Da Qi and I haven't seen any money for almost three months. If we don't get some food, we'll starve to death."

Gu Linlin, who had just joined the Big Bird band, said enthusiastically, "How about I lend you some?"

"How can I feel good about that?"

As soon as the conversation changed, Qi Siyu said, "How about you lend me and Daxiong 1,000 each?"

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you now." Gulinlin said happily.

Seeing this, Han Mingze said to Gu Linlin with a hint of apology: "Daxiong and Daqi are not the kind of people who don't pay back their debts. When I contact the commercial performance, they will definitely pay you back the money they owe you."

"It's okay, I'm not short of money."

After transferring the money, Gu Linlin pretended to be casual and asked, "I just don't understand why our Big Bird Band has ended up like this?"

Then Gulinlin said with a look of nostalgia:

"Ten years ago, when I was still in elementary school, I watched the Big Bird band's performance. I still remember clearly the shocking scene when you sang "Fly High" and thousands of people sang along."

"If we continue to develop at that momentum, our Big Bird band will definitely become a first-class band, but now almost no one knows our Big Bird band anymore."

"Why is that?"

After a pause, Gu Linlin asked what she wanted to ask the most: "Also, where did Big Bird go? Is it like the rumors out there... because he broke up with Xiao Ye, did he run away?"
