Chapter 41 Why does the summer solstice smile so beautifully?
Zhao Xingyu seized the moment of Xia Huanming's embarrassment, paused the video, and pointed out: "You seem to have known that this situation would happen a long time ago? I didn't expect you to read the comments!"
Xia Huanming raised his eyelids and said in a faint voice: "You said it as if you didn't see it."
Chen Xing tilted his head and looked at Xia Huanming, and asked curiously: "So how did you feel when you saw everyone's number one?"
Xia Huanming looked at Chen Xing and said in a soft voice, "It's not as painful as what you said to my face. Just keep watching." He turned around and wanted to take the remote control, but Zhao Xingyu hid behind him.
Zhao Xingyu finally got a chance to tease Xia Huanming, how could he let it go? He shook his head and said, "No, you have to tell me about your experience of being number one. When did you find out that they were brushing these things? In addition to this, there should be brushing husbands, right?"
With Xia Huanming's height, he could have just stood up and snatched the remote control, but he didn't move. He raised his hand for a moment, then put it down again, staring at Zhao Xingyu and saying, "Being a husband is better than being a stupid son."
“Ouch!” Zhao Xingyu’s defense was broken, but he couldn’t think of a way to refute it for a while. “You, you, you, Xiaozhu, help me refute him!”
As a fair referee, Chen Xing patted Xia Huanming's hand and said, "I think you are right."
"Zhao Xingyu," Zheng Peiya winked at Zhao Xingyu, "Are you sure you want to provoke him again?"
Zhao Xingyu, who was in high spirits, suddenly came back to his senses.
Yes, this is Xia Huanming. If he provokes Xia Huanming now, who knows how Xia Huanming will retaliate against him later.
"Uh, never mind. Let's continue watching." Zhao Xingyu quickly took out the remote control and continued playing.
Xia Huanming's performance was perfect even if you watched it again. As for the nervousness and anxiety that Zhang Jin'an mentioned, Chen Xing didn't see it at that time, but now he finally understood it.
Xia Huanming seems to be eager to show something, so at some moments his lines are spoken hastily and hastily, and his movements are too large. This is especially obvious under the camera, but the flaws do not outweigh the merits. The comments are all immersive, and there are obviously fewer people playing with the memes.
In the end, Xia Huanming knelt on the ground in despair, and a "thump" sound could be clearly heard.
Chen Xing stared at the screen, wondering if his knee didn't hurt. Suddenly, a light cough came from the side.
“Ahem.”
He turned his head and realized that while he was thinking, his hand had already touched Xia Huanming's thigh.
From his angle, Xia Huanming's eyes were wandering under his messy bangs, and he reminded him softly: "Wake up..."
Chen Xing woke up and rubbed his swollen knees back and forth, and asked frankly: "What's wrong? I was worried that your knees hurt. You made such a loud noise."
"Yes, they are still very dedicated." Zheng Peiya also said, "What a loud sound."
"..." Xia Huanming stared at him meaningfully, then answered in a hoarse voice, "It's all as I should."
"Well, this is called professionalism!" Zhao Xingyu said.
Chen Xing's eyes curved with laughter. He patted Xia Huanming's knees, then took his hand back to continue taking snacks. He took a potato chip from the bag and placed it in front of Xia Huanming's mouth, imitating how Xia Huanming had fed him before: "Here, let me comfort you."
Xia Huanming did not refuse this time. He held the other end of the potato chip in his mouth and ate it obediently.
Chen Xing was very satisfied with his successful feeding and continued to watch the video.
Before Xia Huanming stepped down from the stage, the comments were still discussing what the judges had said.
[Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu, I really cried to death]
[Big brother really hit the nail on the head. I feel that Xia Huanming is suffering from a lot of internal friction. Looking at his Weibo account, I feel really conflicted.]
[Which Weibo account is it? I’ll go check it out]
[The one in front is @夏小h]
Seeing this, Zhao Xingyu laughed and said, "Can your trumpet still be considered a trumpet? Everyone knows it."
Xia Huanming explained calmly: "The main account is used by the company to post stills, and not daily stuff. The small account can be used to post some daily stuff."
Chen Xing nodded: "That's true."
Zheng Peiya asked suspiciously: "Why are you nodding? Are you paying attention?"
"Of course I follow him," Chen Xing patted his chest and said confidently, "I have been following him using my secondary account for a long time." And Xia Huanming even replied to him.
Speaking of this, I don’t know how the sick fan is doing. I hope he can recover and be healthy.
Chen Xing was worrying about that person when his sleeves were pulled. He turned around and saw Xia Huanming's eyes shining with joy. His voice was a little louder: "Who are you?"
Chen Xing shook his index finger and said mysteriously, "I can't tell you. Even my agent and assistant don't know what my smurf account is."
Moreover, he rarely posts on Weibo through his secondary account. He only created it to comment on others. There is no point in saying anything.
Xia Huanming was obviously a little regretful and loosened his fingers: "Okay..." His shoulders drooped.
Chen Xing thought that Xia Huanming felt it was unfair because his account was made public while his account was kept secret. He quickly comforted Xia Huanming: "Let's see if the division will be broadcast this episode. If it is broadcast, I will follow you with my main account now, okay?"
Chen Xing's tone was like coaxing a child. Fortunately, Xia Huanming was impressed and nodded, saying, "Okay."
Keep your eyes back on the screen.
After all the performers finished their performances, the judges discussed the team selection process and the accompaniment music changed from a slow piano piece to a fast interlude.
While the others were paying attention to the instructors' discussion and comments, Chen Xing's occupational disease struck and he focused entirely on the accompaniment.
He analyzed it in his mind: basic 16th note drum beats, alternating bass and snare drum, semitone descending bass line, vibrato technique used in strings… using synthesizer to imitate heartbeat? This arrangement has something, and it deserves 8 out of 10.
There are two points deducted because he didn't do it.
It was not until Zhang Jin'an mentioned his name that Chen Xing came back to his senses from the music. He only heard Zhang Jin'an say, "I think Chen Xing can be assigned to this group. He has excellent emotional regulation ability and flexible cognition. He is not stage-frightened even if it is his first time acting. Most of the problems of this group are: these two people have too high expectations of themselves, which leads to anxiety. These two people have strengths but are not very confident and are timid. If he joins, he can ensure the balance of the team atmosphere and mobilize the emotions of other members."
Gu Yirou nodded in agreement: "Yes, after watching him all this time, I also think that his mentality is the best among all of them. He is not afraid of failure. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he is a cross-industry person."
The four people present were stunned. Zheng Peiya's eyes sparkled: "It has to be the eldest brother. He can judge people very well. He is so right after such a short time of knowing them."
"Oh my god, it's so accurate. I even have goose bumps." Zhao Xingyu rolled up his sleeves and stretched his arm between Chen Xing and Xia Huanming. "Touch it quickly."
Xia Huanming glanced at it without moving his fingers; Chen Xing touched it, however, and exclaimed, "Wow, the texture is really like unmarinated chicken wings."
Zhao Xingyu: “…”
Zhao Xingyu angrily withdrew his arm, Zheng Peiya was so happy that she couldn't help laughing for a few seconds. The mentors finished their discussion and began to play the screenwriters' stories. The photos of the twelve screenwriters were placed in two rows on the big screen.
Xue Si Nian's photo is the fourth in the first row, when she still had bangs; and Zheng Peiya's photo is the second in the second row, with a small section of her braces showing when she smiles.
Zheng Peiya's face instantly turned red, she covered her eyes and said, "Ah, this photo I chose is so ugly, please don't let me see it——"
The more she said this, the more the other three teased her.
Zhao Xingyu tapped Zheng Peiya's shoulder and deliberately asked, "Hey, who is that person? He looks so familiar. Do you know him?"
Zheng Peiya simply turned to the side and said, "Go away. I won't talk to you until this is over."
In fact, this photo is nothing special, it is just to let everyone know the screenwriter, and the interview that follows is the highlight.
The director team asked the screenwriters individually why they came here, and each screenwriter had at least one minute of solo appearance time.
Zheng Peiya happened to be the first to appear. Zhao Xingyu applauded and Chen Xing followed suit. Zheng Peiya covered her eyes, leaving only the gaps between her fingers to see herself.
Zheng Peiya had her hair tied up in a bun and was sitting on the lawn for an interview. Judging from the background, it should be her university, and there were students walking around behind her with their backpacks.
The lower right corner shows [Zheng Peiya, graduate student in the Department of Philosophy, Wuhan University].
Zheng Peiya smiled shyly, with smile lines at the corners of her eyes, and spoke softly: "I am a very introverted person who doesn't dare to compete, but for some reasons, I wanted to give it a try and see how far I can go. Maybe the goddess of luck favored me and allowed me to participate."
Among the people present, only Chen Xing seemed to know that the "reason" Zheng Peiya mentioned was that she wanted to meet someone. As for who it was, Zheng Peiya did not say until later.
After the interview with Zheng Peiya was over, the barrage of comments commented on her, saying that she looked very gentle and was a very good girl.
According to Chen Xing, barrage comments are quite accurate in judging people.
After going through this, Zheng Peiya felt relieved. She finally put down her hands that were covering her eyes, patted her chest and said, "Oh my God, I finally made it through this."
Chen Xing praised: "Isn't this a good point?"
Zhao Xingyu also nodded: "That's right, how can a top student be embarrassed."
Zheng Peiya covered her red ears, trying to cool them down with her hands: "I'm stuck. Didn't you notice that my voice is a little shaky?"
Xia Huanming said: "It's normal to be nervous when you are interviewed for the first time."
With everyone's comfort, Zheng Peiya felt relieved and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
The video continued to play, and after passing the three screenwriters, Chen Xing saw the acquaintance Yaya, who was holding Tiaotiao in her arms and combing her fur while talking.
[It's a cat! ]
[The good cat asked his sister to kiss him]
[The cat doesn’t run away, the cat is good; the sister hugs the cat, the sister is good. 】
[This cat is well-fed and has beautiful fur]
[Not afraid of people? Not afraid of cameras? ? ]
The three people who have touched the cat said they could understand the thoughts of the barrage.
Zheng Peiya took out her phone to take a photo: "Pause first so I can take a photo for Yaya. Tiaotiao is so cute!"
After Ya Ya left, another screenwriter from Group 3, "Xiao Yuan", came over. Xiao Yuan wore a hat and a mask, and his three white eyes looked very cold, but his voice was unexpectedly cute. People in the comments were all commenting on why there was such a contrast.
Chen Xing was not familiar with Xiao Yuan, because every time he went to Group 3, Xiao Yuan was alone typing in a corner. If I had to say what I remember, it was that he typed very fast.
A few more people passed by, and finally it was Xue Si Nian's turn.
Xue Si Nian is sitting in a cafe, holding a copy of Agatha Christie's "Evil Under the Sun" in her hand. The lower right corner shows [Peking University Chinese Language and Literature Postgraduate - Xue Si Nian]
Xue Si Nian, wearing a simple sweatshirt, thought to the camera: "Creation is... a long and painful process, and it even requires a certain amount of luck. Something I wrote casually became popular inexplicably, while a carefully crafted work was buried in the long river of time, and the result was not satisfactory."
As she speaks, the camera turns to the books on the table.
The sunlight is like a layer of gauze, gently covering the pages of the book, and the words appear particularly clear in the light and shadow.
Finally, the story returns to Xue Si Nian, who smiled at the camera: "But I still want to come with excitement and leave with excitement, leaving my shallow traces in the endless flow of literary art."
All creators should be able to understand what she meant, especially musicians like Chen Xing who are known to be talented but have been lukewarm for a long time. He can resonate with this.
Although he was indeed short of money, his passion for creating music really put aside the issue of making money. Otherwise, he would have opened a VIP music playlist long ago, or become a music teacher after graduation, doing an extremely stable job.
The comments were all praising him for being a top student, and Zheng Peiya even exclaimed: "Wow, what Nian Nian said was so good, so romantic."
Chen Xing recalled the signature of Zheng Peiya in her circle of friends: "Every work of ours is our homecoming port."
Zheng Peiya said this, but isn’t she a romantic person too?
"Acting First" is also such a variety show, which not only cares about the actors in front of the screen, but also the creators behind the scenes. It tells everyone that a work is not the credit of one person, but the result of a group of people.
And so far there has been no intrigue-filled editing. At least whatever Chen Xing saw in the live broadcast at the time is what was broadcast here.
After all the screenwriters were interviewed, the screen came to the "Acting First" logo, and then it said: [The performance is over, the actors enter the lounge...]
Later on, the footage of everyone entering the lounge was cut together, like a fashion show, with each person standing in the aisle and pushing open the door one by one.
There is a clever idea here. The program team set up a camera position at the door handle and edited together the shots of everyone's hands opening the door, changing one hand every second. In this way, the door is slowly opened, and finally the bright and spacious lounge is revealed.
Chen Xing praised: "This editing is amazing."
In the lounge, the camera swept across the actresses who were chatting and laughing in their seats, with comments praising "there are more beauties next to beauties", and then swept to the male actors.
The male actors gathered in a circle and chatted, and the person in the circle was Chen Xing.
Chen Xing was surrounded and showed off his skills in singing the theme song.
In addition to the actors on the scene being surprised, the barrage of comments was also very shocked.
[? ? No, buddy, are you serious? ]
[??? Oh my god, they are exactly the same]
[Oh my god, what a great memory]
[Xiao Zhu, this is not how you use absolute pitch! ]
Zhao Xingyu nodded: "Yes, I was also shocked when I watched it again."
This made up for Xia Huanming's regret that he didn't see what Chen Xing did.
It turns out that he really sang before, Xia Huanming thought.
Chen Xing in the picture was praised by the actors one by one, and he was smiling from ear to ear. Then Xia Huanming saw him coming out, and Chen Xing walked towards him.
While they were communicating, the camera turned to other actors, Du He and Shen Miao playing rock-paper-scissors next to a Coke machine.
Shen Miao was wearing a suspender dress, but her posture was unusually chic. She clenched her fist and said to Du He, "Old Du, if you lose, pour yourself a glass. If I lose, I will pour you a glass."
Du He wanted to agree, but then he thought, "No, why do I feel like I'm losing money?"
Shen Miao tutted: “It’s boring, I almost got cheated.”
Du He: “?”
【Laughing so hard that I fainted, Sister Miao’s plan】
[Hahahahahahahaha Miao Jie and Gou Huan are indeed friends, they both cheat people in exactly the same way]
[Sister Miao, you are a female celebrity, please pay attention to your image]
[I am dying of laughter. Shen Miao is really funny]
“Hahahahahahahaha—”
“Hahahaha Shen Miao hahahaha——”
Chen Xing and Zhao Xingyu couldn't stop laughing.
Xia Huanming seemed to be thinking about something. This was the first time he knew about this incident happening to Shen Miao.
No wonder Shen Miao burped several times when he greeted her. It turned out that he was the one who came up with the idea and lost.
Later, the camera switched to a panoramic view.
Xia Huanming's eyes darkened.
Because he saw Qi Yinrui and Chen Xing chatting next to the dessert table in the upper right corner of the screen. While chatting, Qi Yinrui touched Chen Xing's hair with a smile. Chen Xing cooperated and paused. After Qi Yinrui finished touching, he continued to talk about things with a smile on his face.
Xia Huanming couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Where was I at this moment? Oh, I was dragged away by Li Mu to chat.
At that time, he was not familiar with Chen Xing, and had no reaction to Chen Xing being dragged away, but now looking back... Why did he smile so beautifully when talking to others? !
Xia Huanming felt unhappy and glanced at Chen Xing who was concentrating on watching TV.
Chen Xing was wearing blue pajamas and a few white clouds were floating on his sleeves. He did not sit on the lazy sofa, but on the carpet, hunched over with his knees bent, his arms hugging his calves, and his whole body curled up like a hedgehog.
Chen Xing's profile is very good-looking, with clear and elegant contours. The lines from the forehead to the bridge of the nose are seamless, and the contours are neither too sharp nor without masculine charm. The light from the screen flows under his eyes, and his slightly pursed lips appear particularly soft from this angle.
soft……
Xia Huanming thought about the dream and then he came to his senses.
Okay, Qi Yinrui let him touch it. Now Chen Xing was next to him and only he could touch it.
The next second, the camera turned to Qi Yinrui, who asked Chen Xing, "What do you like to do besides work?"
Chen Xing thought for a moment and answered, "Playing games? Watching TV? And...drinking? Does that count?"
"Drinking? I can drink quite a bit too. If we were a team, we could have a few drinks." Qi Yinrui made a gesture of opening a bottle.
Chen Xing nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay."
Seeing this, Xia Huanming’s face turned black.
Zhao Xingyu asked the question on his behalf: "Did you and Brother Rui drink?"
Fortunately, Chen Xing shook his head and said, "Hey Xingyu, the three of us can drink together."
Zhao Xingyu waved his hand: "I forget it, didn't he ask you out?"
Xia Huanming calmly suggested: "I think Zhao Xingyu can go with you, and we can build a good relationship together."
Zhao Xingyu scratched his head: "Isn't this bad?"
Xia Huanming said, "What's wrong with that? Isn't drinking just about having more people and having fun? Everyone involved has agreed to it."
Chen Xing nodded, and Zhao Xingyu was convinced and agreed.
Xia Huanming breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Xia Huanming cared so much about drinking, Chen Xing thought that he wanted to go too, so he poked Xia Huanming's thigh and asked, "Are you going?"
Xia Huanming shook his head and replied gently: "I don't really like drinking. You guys go and have fun."
Chen Xing held Xia Huanming's left hand and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will finish your share!"
Xia Huanming smiled slightly, and Chen Xing could feel that hand moving: "Okay."
Chen Xing praised Xia Huanming in his heart: Xia Huanming is really a good captain, he lets them do all the good things! He doesn't fight or compete with them!
So generous!
