Chapter 17 The wind rises from the two of you, which is the extreme and the extreme.
Wang Baiyue, who loved to stir up trouble, was the first to clap his hands: "What a hearty recitation."
Huang Canni from the girls' group touched her curly hair and sighed, "I didn't expect that your team has such a line genius? If you give me half of this ability, I won't be criticized by Sister Shen Miao."
The director laughed and said, "It's really fast. You've memorized it before I've even finished reading it."
Xue Si Nian was already grateful to Chen Xing because of what happened in the morning, and now she encouraged him exaggeratedly: "If your acting skills can be improved, Xiao Zhu, maybe you can really become the male lead one day!"
With everyone's warm encouragement, Chen Xing was full of fighting spirit, with a raging fire burning in his eyes.
"I will definitely act well and try my best not to hold you back!" Chen Xing nodded at Xia Huanming.
Xia Huanming did not answer, but just looked at him straight.
The tip of the pen touched the blank space on the script, leaving a black dot.
Is there something dirty somewhere?
When Chen Xing touched his face in confusion, Xia Huanming looked away at the same time.
Chen Xing had never attended a reading session before, so he didn't know what the atmosphere was like in other crews. He could only say that their group was very harmonious.
Because everyone is very responsible, the director and screenwriter will provide detailed answers to any doubts and even make changes if necessary.
For example, Zheng Qi felt that some of the sentences in the part where he and Xia Huanming were arguing were not well used. Since they both lost their loved ones in this apocalypse, why would they start by mocking each other with their family members as the first thing to say?
After discussion, the sentence was changed to simply "physical attack".
Chen Xing was speechless. This was even more direct.
Before we knew it, the reading session was coming to an end.
At this time, someone from the program crew came in and handed the director a stack of cards, and the room became quiet again.
Director Yu tapped the table with a card: "After each episode, the production team will leave a question. This is the question for this episode."
The director handed a stack of task cards to the first person, Xue Si Nian, and asked her to pass them on.
Chen Xing received the task card.
It reads – “What does the encounter represent?”
"The content can be modified before the filming of our work is completed." The director repeated what the program team meant.
Everyone put away their cards and nodded in agreement.
After the script reading session ended, several people went to the cafeteria together. On the way, they met other teams and the aisle suddenly became lively.
The cafeteria is on the first floor of the second building in Area 2. It is brightly decorated, with various small sofas and chairs placed in the corners, and even a basketball game console. It seems that all the leisure areas are piled together.
The canteen is at the end of the right side. Push open the glass door and you can see a row of stalls with various local specialties. Chen Xing counted and found that there should be twelve kinds of dishes, fried, deep-fried, boiled, and stewed, and there are free Coke and Fanta.
Their group chose a long table in the back row that could accommodate ten people, and everyone put their things together. While everyone was getting food, the program director came over and placed two small cameras in the middle of the table.
When Chen Xing was serving rice, he called the uncle "brother", and the uncle's hand shook, so he served him half a spoonful of tenderloin more. Zhao Xingyu, who was behind him, followed his example and called him "brother", but the effect was not as good as Chen Xing's, and he only got two more pieces.
Zheng Qi teased him that he didn't have a harmless face like Chen Xing, and he looked evil.
Zhao Xingyu was about to retort when he heard two pieces of meat appear on his plate. When he looked up, he saw Chen Xing putting his own tenderloin on his plate.
Zhao Xingyu covered his mouth with emotion: "Good brother, we are a family from now on."
So Zhao Xingyu also sat next to Chen Xing during the meal.
Chen Xing didn't care. He ate happily and the dishes looked as if they had been washed without any grease or water on them.
Their table was a mess, and everyone's stomach was slightly bulging from eating so much.
It was understandable that Xia Huanming ate a lot, after all, he was working out and his energy consumption was high; but when Chen Xing ate a lot, everyone was surprised.
Chen Xing didn't look like someone who could eat two bowls of rice, but he not only finished two bowls, but also went to get another half bowl. Zheng Qi was impressed.
"How hungry are you?" Zhao Xingyu pointed at Chen Xing's plate. "You're eating rice even though there's no food left."
Chen Xing also had his own reasons. He scratched the rough edge of his notebook and said, "I had breakfast too early."
Wang Baiyue on the other side asked: "What time do you usually have breakfast?"
Chen Xing: "If there is work, it's 10 o'clock; if there is no work, it's 1 o'clock in the afternoon."
Everyone: “…”
Is that still breakfast?
Zhao Xingyu pointed at the tall Xia Huanming with a gloating look: "Don't worry, with Xia Huanming as your roommate, you will definitely have a military training schedule these days."
Wang Baiyue tempted him again: "Do you want to change rooms?"
Chen Xing glanced at Xia Huanming who was looking at his phone and shook his head: "I still don't want to."
Zhao Xingyu smiled and said, "You are very loyal. I have tempted you several times."
Xia Huanming then raised his head, his eyes calm, as if he hadn't heard Zhao Xingyu's teasing, and handed the phone to Chen Xing: "Leave me your phone number."
Chen Xing took it and held Xia Huanming's phone, inputting the number and adding the words "Chen Xing" in the note. Because the phone model was different, Chen Xing wanted to switch back to the address book, but accidentally clicked on the return home page. A photo of an elderly grandmother and Xia Huanming came into view.
Chen Xing quickly returned the phone: "Sorry."
Xia Huanming said calmly: "It's okay."
After chatting for a while, it was almost time.
Zheng Qi, Xia Huanming and the female contestants left together, and the others played in the leisure area for a while.
Zhao Xingyu was so focused on the claw machine that he insisted that he was a god at catching dolls. He tried ten times but didn't catch any dolls, so he let go of the hook as soon as he got up.
Zhao Xingyu was anxious, pointing at the claw machine and waving his hand: "Someone come and help me get revenge! There will be a huge reward!"
As soon as this was said, several people gathered around the claw machine and took turns to catch the dolls, but they failed again and again.
There were several times when they almost reached the border, but lost their grip halfway, and the crowd expressed regrets one after another:
"Ouch! Just one millimeter!"
"I have another one to try? Why doesn't it work? This shouldn't be the case?"
"Try to see if you can swing it down, it's all stuck on the side!"
“It’s on fire too!”
Chen Xing, who was watching, asked: "…What on earth is burning?"
The photographer found this part quite interesting, so he took close-ups of every "contestant", even Chen Xing. He rushed in front of Chen Xing and made hand gestures, so Chen Xing had to make a "yeah" gesture to the camera.
After working hard for a long time, they still couldn't catch the last doll. The group unanimously decided that "fishing for dolls" would become the first must-do challenge for "Acting First".
Whenever there are guests, I must come and challenge them once.
"Otherwise we'll look like losers."
Someone honestly spoke out what was in everyone's mind, and was booed back in unison.
After the crowd dispersed, Zhao Xingyu was still thinking about the funny scene of everyone making noise just now, and laughed: "Who would have thought that I just wanted to catch a doll, but it ended up causing such a big commotion."
Wang Baiyue grabbed it the most vigorously, even taking off his coat, and just put it on again now: "How great, it will definitely be very funny when it is broadcast."
"By the way," Zhao Xingyu looked at Chen Xing, "Little Pig, have you noticed something?"
Chen Xing asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Xingyu took Chen Xing's wrist and walked to the claw machine. He looked at Wang Baiyue, who understood immediately and nodded.
Chen Xing still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"What's going on?" Chen Xing asked.
Wang Baiyue pointed at the doll and said with a smile: "Don't you think this doll looks very much like you?"
Only then did Chen Xing carefully observe the dolls in the cabinet.
This Q-version doll has a layer of downward wrinkles on its eyes, which is the same as Chen Xing's double eyelids, and its skin color is also white. If the canine teeth are replaced, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Chen Xing's fan drawing.
Chen Xing then smiled: "Indeed, they are somewhat similar."
"Should we take a group photo?" When Wang Baiyue said this, he already had the phone in his hand.
Chen Xing obeyed respectfully and stood beside the machine, making the same movements as the doll - one hand made a tiger paw and the right eye winked.
Wang Baiyue took two photos from different angles. Zhao Xingyu was a little surprised when he took out the finished pictures. He thought the pictures would be very dead, but the results were unexpectedly good. The blue light from the claw machine accurately outlined the contours of Chen Xing's cheeks. He didn't look like a ghost at all, but rather had a cyber-tech feel.
Zhao Xingyu praised: "You are quite good."
Wang Baiyue sent the photos to Chen Xing and said modestly: "I got this from taking photos for my girlfriend."
The corners of Chen Xing's and Zhao Xingyu's mouths froze at the same time: Oh no, this guy is about to start again.
Anyone who follows his Weibo knows that Wang Baiyue has a girlfriend. Since 2018, they have been showing off their affection every month. It is said that they have been together since they graduated from high school, and it has been seven years now.
Chen Xing and Zhao Xingyu, who had eaten a mouthful of dog food for no reason, looked at each other, and no one dared to respond - because Wang Baiyue could continue talking about his girlfriend by himself.
After listening to Chen Xing's solo yesterday, Wang Baiyue also came down. Zheng Peiya just asked casually, "Have you told your girlfriend about your schedule?" Wang Baiyue directly talked about his love story with his girlfriend for ten minutes.
It was not until Xia Huanming said, "Isn't it time for you to have a video call with her?" that Wang Baiyue happily returned to the bedroom.
This time it was different. Xia Huanming, who could cure him, was not there. Chen Xing and Zhao Xingyu could only take two steps back, turn around tacitly, and run away!
"Yueyue is..." Wang Baiyue, who was immersed in the wallpaper on his phone, raised his head and saw nothing on both sides.
Wang Baiyue: “?!”
No matter how fast Chen Xing and Zhao Xingyu ran, they could not outrun the fitness enthusiasts who got up early every morning for a run. Wang Baiyue caught up with them halfway and grabbed each of them by the collar like they were holding a chicken. The two men's cries for mercy echoed in the spacious corridor.
Chen Xing quickly praised Wang Baiyue: "As expected of someone who played a soldier, you are so fast!"
Wang Baiyue didn't even breathe, he let go of his hand and said proudly: "Can't someone who can run 1,000 meters in 3:20 in college catch up with you two?"
"So awesome?" Chen Xing was really impressed. His peak time was only 4 minutes and 1 second, and he was half a lap behind the first place.
He now looks at Wang Baiyue as if he were looking at the number one - so terrifying.
"I can't do it anymore. I haven't run like this since graduation." Zhao Xingyu felt blood coming out of his throat, and his words tasted bloody.
Wang Baiyue: "Will you dare to run away if you don't agree with me next time?"
The two shook their heads: "No, no."
As they were laughing, they heard footsteps getting closer and closer behind them, each step was short and heavy.
Looking back, they saw the photographer from their group running towards them.
Three people: “?!”
I was wondering if something was missing! It turns out that I left my camera behind!
The photographer's face was already red when he stopped. Zhao Xingyu asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"
Wang Baiyue stared at his elder brother’s head which was about to smoke and said, “It feels like he’s been gone for a while.”
The photographer was very impressed with the show and even nodded.
Chen Xing didn't say anything. He turned around and ran to the beverage machine to buy a bottle of Coke, and handed it to the photographer: "Would you like a drink?"
Without waiting for the photographer to nod, Chen Xing directly stuffed the Coke into the pocket of his black vest, so he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
Because they couldn't speak, the photographer gave them a thumbs up.
The camera follows them to another open practice room.
This practice room is similar to the team practice room, with a shiny wooden floor connected to three mirrors. The six people in the camera crew were scattered everywhere, and the photographer in Chen Xing's group and a girl stood against the wall of the small room.
"Xia Huanming was able to blend in." Wang Baiyue put his hand on Chen Xing's shoulder and whispered softly.
The photographers all wore the same black short-sleeved shirt.
He was talking about Xia Huanming's fashion sense.
"Black goes with everything." Chen Xing still spoke up for Xia Huanming. After all, one couldn't ask everyone to wear colorful clothes.
"Wow, you won't be able to say that after you've seen his private clothes for three months, which are the same except for the shape and color." Wang Baiyue's eyes swept over Chen Xing's upper body, and even the small necklace decorations echoed the clothes. "You two are the best of both worlds. You look so good in this outfit."
Chen Xing pulled at the corner of his clothes and said, "You can't compare them like that. I bought all of these from the Internet or on Taobao during the Double Eleven sale. They are all cheap."
Wang Baiyue didn't care: "What's wrong with cheap goods? Isn't it enough if the quality is good?"
Chen Xing thought this made sense and nodded: "But the quality is indeed good. I have worn this coat for several years and it is still not worn out."
Wang Baiyue hooked his finger: "Little Pig, I have four words for you."
Chen Xing leaned over: "What?"
Wang Baiyue whispered in his ear: "Send me the link."
Chen Xing: “…”
