After the wedding, Li Fengzhi and Gu Shiyi left for their honeymoon.
Although he had already arranged Yan Zixiu's next schedule before the wedding, Li Fengzhi held a meeting for the entire studio before leaving, and carefully instructed every detail, so serious that Yan Zixiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
****
On the afternoon of returning home, Xie Chengyuan sent a message to Yan Zixiu, saying that he would come to his house tomorrow to discuss work with him.
The next day, Yan Zixiu waited after lunch, but Xie Chengyuan didn't wait, but received a call first.
"Hello."
A kind voice came from the receiver, saying, "Master, long time no contact, this is Zhen Qiong."
More than half an hour later, Xie Chengyuan came to the door with the information.
He knew Yan Zixiu's character, so he got straight to the point as soon as he sat down.
"Zeitstil has given you the cover of the New Year for three consecutive years. This year is the 30th anniversary of the magazine's founding, so we would like to invite you to shoot a micro-movie, which will be about 15 minutes long."
"If you agree to take it, the magazine would like to follow your advice and choose a co-actor." At this point, Xie Chengyuan licked his lips a little shyly, "The company has discussed it in a meeting, and I hope you can take care of the artists under Xingyi."
This kind of operation of old people bringing up new people is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.
But except for recommending Feng Huanlang to Liu Chenyu to play the female supporting role in "Silent Road", Yan Zixiu never recommended anyone again.
After Xie Chengyuan finished speaking, he observed Yan Zixiu's expression. If the other party was a little unhappy, he would immediately make peace and cancel the proposal.
After all, Yan Zixiu's contract with the company only lasted for less than a year, and the chairman didn't dare to offend this big Buddha now.
Yan Zixiu thought for a moment, and then said, "Then choose Duan Shaoheng."
"Duan Shaoheng?"
Xie Chengyuan frowned and thought for a long time, and then he matched the name with the face in his mind.
Duan Shaoheng signed a contract with the company last year and graduated from B Film this year. He has played several roles in TV dramas, but they were all supporting roles other than the third male lead.
Although Xie Chengyuan hoped that Yan Zixiu would bring in newcomers, he wanted artists who had already shown their talents. Duan Shaoheng was too unknown.
Did the two know each other privately?
After hesitating for a while, Xie Chengyuan asked tentatively, "Zixiu, are you sure you want to choose him?"
Yan Zixiu asked back, "Is he a bad person?"
"That's not the case." Xie Chengyuan hurriedly said.
Yan Zixiu made the final decision and said, "Then choose him."
After this was finalized, Xie Chengyuan immediately contacted the magazine and emailed Duan Shaoheng's information.
After reading it, the other party agreed very straightforwardly and immediately began to prepare for the preliminary work of filming.
On the day when Xie Chengyuan received the reply from the magazine, he went to meet Duan Shaoheng specifically.
After learning that he was going to shoot a micro-film with Yan Zixiu, he did not show any surprise, but he was very happy.
"This cooperation is very rare, you must be fully prepared and seize the opportunity."
Duan Shaoheng smiled and nodded, "I will definitely work hard."
This time, the magazine invited two star artists, one is Yan Zixiu and the other is Enzo Mathews, a top foreign actor.
The two groups respectively show two themes of couples falling in love: love at first sight vs. love over time.
Duan Shaoheng's appearance conditions are quite good, but there are some discrepancies with the magazine's script setting, so a lot of effort was put into the styling.
Yan Zixiu plays the bar owner, who falls in love with Duan Shaoheng at first sight when he comes to the bar for the first time. The two have no lines in the play, and the narration is displayed in subtitles.
On the day of the official shoot, Yan Zixiu had just sat down in the dressing room when there was a knock on the door.
Duan Shaoheng had already done his styling in advance, and he looked very suitable for the character.
"Hello, Mr. Yan."
The other person smiled sincerely, and the arc of his eyes was both pleasing to the eye and not exaggerated. Even if it was the first time they met, they would still have a good impression of him.
Yan Zixiu looked at him, nodded slightly and said, "Hello."
After the two sides greeted each other, he looked at the assistant and said, "Please go out for a while." As soon
as the voice fell, the staff present were stunned at the same time, and when they came to their senses, they immediately put down their things and went out.
Almost all the people present were old people in the studio. In the past, many artists had come into the dressing room to greet Yan Zixiu, but this kind of clearing was the first time they had seen it.
"You guys, should we talk to Brother Li?" the costume assistant said cautiously.
"Let's not talk to him now. Brother Li is on his honeymoon now. Besides, it's not a big deal."
The staff discussed in a very low voice, and they were all a little undecided.
About ten minutes later, Duan Shaoheng opened the door and came out. "! Shan! Yu! 氵! タ!"
"Brother Xiu, see you later."
Yan Zixiu said calmly: "Okay."
When he just went in, he was still Mr. Yan, but when he came out, he called Brother Xiu directly.
The staff exchanged glances implicitly, but no one dared to say anything more.
The content of the micro-movie is very simple, but the acting skills are very demanding, because it mainly relies on the eyes of the two protagonists to convey emotions.
When on the set, Duan Shaoheng actively asked Yan Zixiu many questions, and Yan Zixiu also patiently answered them one by one.
Although it was the first time for the two to work together, the shooting progress was very fast and even ended half a day earlier than expected.
After the post-production of the micro-film was completed, it was simultaneously launched on the 30th anniversary of the founding of "Zeitstil" magazine.
Less than 20 minutes after the official blog was released, Yan Zixiu and Duan Shaoheng appeared together at the top of the trending search.
The CP of the bar owner VS the heartbroken brother is simply extremely good, not to mention every micro-expression of Yan Zixiu in it.
The plot is roughly divided into three stages. In the first stage, Duan Shaoheng accidentally broke into the bar opened by Yan Zixiu.
It is called a bar, but it is not the kind of nightclub with noisy music on the market, but a club for people of status to talk and drink.
From the first moment Yan Zixiu saw Duan Shaoheng, his eyes suddenly became hot and dangerous, as if he was aiming at his prey and eager to try.
Just when the audience thought that the boss would seduce the young man for an ONS, the boss who took the man home did nothing but make dinner for the young man who had just broken up and heated up a cup of milk before going to bed.
The first two scenes are all in black and white, giving people a sense of secrecy and undercurrents.
After getting back together with his ex-boyfriend, the young man never went to the bar again.
The boss did not show any loss or frustration, and still did what he had to do.
Half a month later, at midnight, the young man, who was soaking wet, knocked on the boss's door.
The moment the door opened, the whole picture turned into color.
[Are you looking for me? ]
The narration emerges in the form of dark gold particles, giving people a very intuitive feeling of luxury.
The young man did not say anything, but just stood there with his head down.
At this time, the boss's narration appeared again.
[Now that you are here, you can't leave again.]
Duan Shaoheng looked up, [Why?]
Yan Zixiu grabbed his wrist and pulled him in.
[Because I fell in love with you at first sight.]
[End.]
Finally, Yan Zixiu looked at the camera at the moment of closing the door, and a raised eyebrow was full of suggestion and sexual tension, which made the audience curious about what happened behind the closing of the door.
Yan Zixiu hasn't played a love scene for a long time. Although the length of this micro-film is very short, it has its advantages. The abrupt end will make the audience more unforgettable.
After the micro-film was released, everyone once again witnessed Yan Zixiu's delicate eyes and natural acting skills.
Needless to say, the fans were very excited, and even passers-by praised the short film.
Duan Shaoheng gained 2 million fans overnight, and many of Yan Zixiu's fans left messages under his Weibo comments.
Duan Shaoheng replied to one of them. In his comment, he said that Yan Zixiu took good care of him on the set. Although he didn't talk often, he was very gentle and was a senior he admired.
This collaboration also led many marketing accounts to speculate whether it was because Yan Zixiu's contract was about to expire, so the company seized the time to let him lead Xingyi's newcomers.
Fortunately, Duan Shaoheng did not drag his predecessors down like other newcomers, otherwise the fans would definitely be dissatisfied with Xingyi's behavior.
In half a month, it will be New Year's Eve, but apart from that magic show, Yan Zixiu has never participated in another one, so the company still plans to turn down the invitation from the TV station.
"Hello, Zixiu."
Xie Chengyuan answered the phone and closed the window on the screen with his mouse.
"Director Xie, do I have any invitations for New Year's Eve this year?"
Xie Chengyuan was stunned, and then quickly replied, "Yes, the five major TV stations have sent people to contact the company."
Yan Zixiu was silent for two seconds, and then said, "You choose one, and Duan Shaoheng and I will go together."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Chengyuan sat in his chair for a long time.
There is a story here.
With so many years of experience in the entertainment company, the relationship between Yan Zixiu and Duan Shaoheng is definitely not simple.
But Li Fengzhi can ask about this matter, he is definitely not qualified.
Xie Chengyuan struggled for a long time but could not come to a conclusion, so he gave up decisively and started working directly.
"Linda, bring me all the invitation information from the five major TV stations."
Xie Chengyuan just released the news that Yan Zixiu would participate in the New Year's Eve show, and these TV stations started fighting fiercely.
After a whole week of screening, Orange TV finally won the opportunity to cooperate with Yan Zixiu again with the New Year's Eve show.
After getting Xie Chengyuan's reply, Yan Zixiu and Duan Shaoheng went to the company together.
"Since the TV station has been confirmed, now it's a question of program." After
several people sat together and discussed for a while, Duan Shaoheng suddenly looked at Yan Zixiu and said, "Brother Xiu, why don't we sing?"
"Singing is definitely not suitable..."
Before Xie Chengyuan finished speaking, Yan Zixiu nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Almost all the senior executives in the company knew that Yan Zixiu was tone-deaf, so Xie Chengyuan's eyes were as big as walnuts at this moment.
For the remaining half a month, Yan Zixiu stayed in the recording studio.
The length of a song is generally about 3-4 minutes. After the vocal teacher and tuner went through inhuman torture, the producer shortened the duet of "Fascinated" to two minutes and fourteen seconds.
At 11:50 pm on New Year's Eve, Yan Zixiu and Duan Shaoheng stood on the stage together.
The ocean and the sky changed around the two people in 4D mode. The two people appeared from the lift one after the other, and the atmosphere on the scene immediately reached a boiling point.
"Every time I look at you, my eyes are full of love."
"Every minute and every second I am by your side, I long to stop time."
Duan Shaoheng's voice is the same as his appearance, full of sunshine, but he sang this song with emotion. Every time the two people looked at each other, Duan Shaoheng's eyes were also smiling. The
two people appeared at different times. When the song was about to end, the stage began to change, and finally the two stood side by side.
"In my relationship with you, I have always been fascinated by you."
Yan Zixiu's voice was full of romance and affection, and he didn't miss a tune.
After he sang the last sentence, they both put down the microphones in their hands.
The accompaniment had not yet ended. Duan Shaoheng turned to him, opened his arms and said a few words.
The next second, Yan Zixiu took a half step forward and hugged him with one hand.
Although he patted Duan Shaoheng lightly on the back twice in the end, which was more like an expression between friends, the Internet still went viral because of this hug.
During the countdown to the New Year, the two of them, the host and other artists stood on the main stage to welcome the arrival of the new year together.
At this time, Xie Guanxin and Jing Fengyi were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and they were almost petrified.
After an unknown amount of time, she turned to Jing Fengyi with red eyes, "Hubby, fix him..."
"No." Jing Fengyi's tone was very sure, "Our son doesn't like this Duan Shaoheng."
Xie Guanxin grabbed his arm and asked anxiously: "What if?"
Jing Fengyi didn't say anything, but just hugged her and patted her comfortingly.
About ten minutes later, Jing Fengyi took Xie Guanxin to the study.
After calling up the surveillance of the garage, a smile flashed across his eyes.
"Look, wife, our eldest son can't sit still anymore."
After the New Year's Eve party at Orange Fruit Station ended, Yan Zixiu and Duan Shaoheng immediately took the same flight back to City B.
When they left the airport, it was already past three in the morning.
Duan Shaoheng's agent didn't come to pick him up, so Yan Zixiu took him back to his home.
After the two got off the car at the door, Yan Zixiu told his assistant to go home and rest early.
"Brother Xiu, you sing so well, why haven't I heard you sing before?"
Duan Shaoheng had checked on the Internet before. Not to mention any album singles, Yan Zixiu had never sung a single song in a TV series. After
hearing this, Yan Zixiu said coldly: "I practiced the few sentences I sang today for half a month. Do you still say it's good?"
Duan Shaoheng was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.
Yan Zixiu walked forward on his own, completely ignoring the other party's reaction.
Duan Shaoheng was stunned for a while, and then immediately caught up with him.
"Brother Xiu, why didn't you tell me before?"
Yan Zixiu said calmly, "It's not necessary."
Duan Shaoheng quickly walked in front of him, walked backwards and said, "It's necessary, you are very necessary to me..."
"Heh."
In the quiet neighborhood late at night, a very clear sneer suddenly sounded.
Duan Shaoheng saw Yan Zixiu suddenly stop, and subconsciously turned around to look.
At this time, Jing Shaoci was standing by the car, looking at them with a bloody coldness in his black eyes.
