Chapter 115
Almost as soon as Li Wenbo opened his mouth, the expression of his companion beside him changed.
They are not from the same company, but they are relatively familiar friends. This time, there were a lot of role interviews for "Xun Xian Ji", so we made an appointment to come together and try it out. Our roles are different and there is no competition between us, so we have had pleasant conversations these days.
Everyone knows that Li Wenbo is a very self-righteous person who has always looked down on traffic idols.
But they didn't expect that the other party would say it in front of others.
The boy next to him immediately lowered his voice: "Wenbo, what are you talking about?"
Li Wenbo also felt a little regretful.
No matter how Xie Xichao transforms himself, at least he has been an idol for so many years and has been very popular for two years. Apart from anything else, his connections in the entertainment industry are unmatched by a new actor like him.
If the other party holds a grudge...
He pursed his lips.
He was just stimulated by the fact that the other party could meet fans just by coming for an audition, and he acted on impulse. But at this moment, he was really being roasted on the fire. Looking at his companions' surprised eyes, he made up his mind:
"Did I say something wrong?"
"That's right." He stiffened his neck and said, "You all have to study so much and take so many acting classes before you can get a role. At the very least, you started as a minor role and worked your way up step by step. Why do some people have such privileges just because they have traffic bonuses?"
He didn't dare to actually name anyone, but his words were already very targeted.
At some point, most of the sounds of conversation in the corridor disappeared. The people present exchanged glances, and many of them actually showed some empathy in their eyes.
This has to start with the identities of the actors present.
Most of the roles they auditioned for today were supporting roles, and Jingyin was already the most important one among them.
Most of those who are willing to play these roles, and who have to fight for them through auditions, are young actors with little background and who have suffered a lot in this industry.
For them, Xie Xichao is the type of person they dislike the most.
That is, a "vase" who has no acting skills but is very popular.
They will not seriously delve into the details of why Jie Xichao wants to transform, nor will they think that with Jie Xichao's status, if he really wants to reap the benefits, let alone play a supporting role, even if he wants to play the leading role, it will only take a few minutes.
They will only think that this person is sitting here at this moment and is trying to steal their jobs.
This is about the guys who eat.
For a moment, Jie Xichao was being stared at by many people, as if he had become the target of public criticism.
The little fan sitting next to him had already changed his expression, and he rushed up to argue. Before he could even stand up, he heard Xie Xichao ask, "What are you writing?"
Little fan: “Huh?”
Jie Xichao sighed.
He patiently repeated: "What should be written in the signature?"
Little fan: “…”
He looked at Xie Xichao's profile and said blankly, "Just write it. I wish Yao Lingxuan to become rich soon."
Xie Xichao:.
A very simple wish.
He finished writing with a pen, added at the end "Thank you for your continued support", and returned the album to the other party.
Only after he had done all this did he raise his head again.
The moment Li Wenbo looked at him, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the next second, he heard Xie Xichao ask with a smile: "Excuse me, I just had something to do. Excuse me... are you talking about me?"
-
As soon as Xie Xichao finished speaking, the corridor fell into a terrible silence.
The person who was feeling mixed emotions just now now has no thoughts at all. All I could think about was, “Oh my god, he actually got A straight in!”
No wonder they were surprised.
With Jie Xichao's status, he would generally have to suffer in silence when faced with such insinuations that do not name anyone. After all, although they are in different tracks, they are all top stars after all, and it always seems a bit cheap to argue with new actors.
This doesn't make sense, but it is reality.
Li Wenbo thought so too. So when Jie Xichao opened his mouth, he was caught off guard and almost froze in place.
Two seconds later, he started sweating.
Should say yes.
Or not?
It would be insincere to say no, as so many people are watching.
Say yes.
Isn't that a direct confrontation with Jie Xichao?
He suddenly realized that Jie Xichao's question was not asked on impulse. How could Jie Xichao not know that he was talking about him, but he had to ask back. This was a blatant trap.
But for the sake of face, he had to jump in.
A minute later, he gritted his teeth and said:
"yes."
After the words were spoken, silence fell all around.
Once these words were spoken, there was no turning back. The original sarcasm turned into a real face-to-face diss, and those who had already realized the problem looked at Li Wenbo with sympathy.
The latter was completely unaware and still held his neck stiff.
Xie Xichao seemed to appreciate his directness and was not angry: "Traffic privilege?"
"That sounds pretty impressive." He smiled, "But I have a question, if I have something like this, why are you still here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was startled and finally came back to their senses.
……yes!
Considering Jie Xichao's status, he is just a supporting role. If the crew wants his traffic, they can just choose him. Even if you just want to see if he is suitable for the role, you can interview him alone. They won't even know the news.
What's going on with Li Wenbo?
Some people began to look hesitant.
Li Wenbo's palms had been completely pinched red by him, and he had already begun to deeply regret why he had just said such a mean thing.
Seeing that everyone's eyes began to change, he blurted out in a hurry: "Then how do I know if you have any private deal with the crew? If you are directly selected, I..."
After the words fell, he came back to his senses with a start.
What is he talking about!
Forget about Xie Xichao being sarcastic!
Why is he throwing dirty water on the crew!
Seeing that people around him had begun to whisper with a hint of mockery in their tone, Li Wenbo fell into a state of dizziness.
Just then, there was a sudden noise from inside.
The audition assistant came out and knocked on the door frame without looking up:
"Next, Li Wenbo."
Li Wenbo suddenly came back to his senses.
He took a deep breath, not daring to look at Jie Xichao, and walked in stiffly following the audition assistant. Outside the corridor, Jie Xi withdrew his gaze from You Ran and put on his headphones again.
The suffocating silence finally ended.
Everyone returned to their original state, continuing to talk and laugh as if nothing had happened, but the way they looked at him was no longer filled with contempt, but curiosity and inquiry instead.
*
Xie Xichao did it on purpose.
To be honest, he didn't mind being talked about behind his back.
Transforming from an idol to an actor is a recognized shortcut, and there have indeed been many incidents of scramble for roles. He knows that he can be considered a professional, but others don't know. In this case, it is normal to have prejudice.
But not minding does not mean that I will tolerate rumors spread in person.
Li Wenbo's words already contained obvious hints, and Xie Xichao didn't want to tolerate such acts of taking advantage of one's "weakness" to commit violence.
Although their conversation was interrupted in the end, he knew that at least no one present today would believe Li Wenbo's words anymore.
That's enough.
After reading the script for a while, the voice of the audition assistant was heard at the door again. This time, it was Jie Xichao's name that was called.
He stood up, muted his phone, put it in his pocket, and walked into the room.
The first person he saw was Li Wenbo, who was sitting in the audience with a grim look on his face.
Xie Xichao paused for two seconds and figured out what was going on.
He knew Lu Yong before coming.
A very strong director who sticks to his word. At the same time, as Dou Fei said, everything is based on professional ability, and he is very sharp-tongued. After today's audition, almost 99% of the people who walked out of the room had faces as ugly as Li Wenbo's.
Li Wenbo’s acting skills are average, but his face is very feminine.
I guess he felt that he fit the character's temperament, so he came to the interview with full confidence. I didn't expect Lu Yong to be so ruthless. I must be shocked now.
While he was thinking this, his mouth was busy and he introduced himself fluently.
His resume is now in Lu Yong's hand. The other party didn't look at him, but looked at him for a few times, and the first sentence he said was indifferent:
"You're quite good at talking."
Xie Xichao's expression paused.
He raised his head. Dou Fei was standing behind him. He smiled and mouthed to him, "The room is not soundproofed."
Xie Xichao: “…”
Didn't you hear it all?
Sure enough, in the corner of his eye, Li Wenbo, who was already dejected, suddenly turned pale.
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Lu Yong said calmly, "I never use backdoors. Good is good, bad is bad. No matter if you are a professional or a top star, if you act well, stay, if you don't, get out."
One sentence combined yin and yang into two people, and Jie Xichao burst out laughing.
When he lowered his eyes, Lu Yong continued to look at him.
Before this, he had always been skeptical about his beloved disciple's so-called "good image".
But at this moment, even someone as mean as him had to admit that the boy in front of him did have a very good-looking face.
Actors don’t care as much about appearance as idols do. It’s not about looks, but temperament that matters even more. It’s just that the role of Jingyin is quite special, requiring both good bones and good looks.
Such actors are hard to find.
This is also the reason why the most beautiful woman and the most handsome man in the world are always ridiculed in many dramas.
but……
Just looking at Jie Xichao's face, Lu Yong felt.
Indeed, I can afford it.
He thought so in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Have you read the script?"
"I've seen it." Xie Xichao said.
"Then let's get started." Lu Yong said.
He did not give Jie Xichao any time to prepare, and naturally let Dou Fei go to the stage.
Dou Fei was preparing to enter the stage. Lu Yong lowered his head and flipped through the information about Xie Xichao that was sorted out by his assistant. He didn't know how to react to the lines of "Newcomer Award", "Music Award", and "Album Award". After a moment, he shook his head helplessly.
But the moment he looked up, he was suddenly stunned.
*
[That night, it snowed heavily.]
Outside the corridor, snowflakes were floating and a solitary cloud was blocking the moon.
This was the first snow of winter. The weather was extremely cold and even the sounds of animals disappeared.
In the corridor, the Fuyun Sect disciples on duty were rubbing their hands and discussing the sect’s grand event that would take place during the day.
Disciple A: I can't believe that Senior Brother Jingyin actually lost. This is the first time he lost to an inner sect disciple, and to a loser with a weak constitution. What a pity!
Disciple B: What a pity? This only shows that his skills are inferior to others. He can't even beat the inner disciples. The title of genius is too fake.
Disciple C: Exactly. I don't understand why you all adore Senior Brother Jingyin so much. He can't even beat Yun Jue. He's just a loser. He also has an icy face every day, as if someone owes him 8 million. In my opinion, this disciple should be replaced by someone else.
As several people discussed, the noise became louder and louder.
The sound entered the bamboo house not far away, and the man who was sitting cross-legged and practicing martial arts moved his lips slightly.
After a while, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
He opened his eyes and looked at the bloodstains between his fingers, his expression changing rapidly. Sometimes it is a painful struggle, sometimes it is cold ridicule, and more often it is an uncontrollable madness.
All these emotions kept changing in his eyes and finally froze.
He stared at the wooden window not far away, and suddenly an almost weird smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Yun Jue's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Yun Jue (cautiously and nervously): Senior brother? Brother, are you asleep?
Almost instantly, Jingyin's smile disappeared.
He stared at the tightly closed wooden door, fixedly, as if he wanted to reach through the door and catch someone to eat, or skin him alive. Violent thoughts swirled in his mind like a savage beast with bared fangs and claws.
After a moment, he closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, there was no emotion in his eyes.
Jingyin (gentle, tired and hoarse voice): Junior brother? I haven't slept yet. It's snowing heavily outside. Come in.]
"stop."
A voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Jie Xichao closed his eyes and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear. Dou Fei was standing not far from him, his eyes filled with shock.
He just made a mistake.
As soon as Jingyin finished speaking, he should enter the scene.
But he froze where he was.
However, at this moment, no one rebuked him.
Lu Yong was looking at Jie Xichao intently. He tried to sound calm, but his eyes revealed everything.
He lowered his voice: "Xiao Fei, come back to your senses!"
Dou Fei suddenly came back to his senses.
He looked at Jie Xichao with apology in his eyes.
But there is something more, something more complicated.
Jie Xichao smiled at him.
The auditions continued.
[Yun Jue pushed the door open cautiously and somewhat clumsily.
He was holding some medicine in his hand, which he had secretly taken from the warehouse. He was very worried about Jingyin, and Jingyin's face looked very ugly during the day. His senior brother always liked to hold on, and Yun Jue felt that this was a very bad habit.
The wooden door was pushed open with a creak, and Yun Jue looked at Jing Yin with clear eyes.
Yun Jue (putting down the medicine, with concern): Brother, I'm here to bring you medicine. Are you feeling better?
As the words fell, the air suddenly became quiet.
Yun Jue (timidly): Senior brother?
Jingyin (covering her mouth and coughing a few times): I feel better.
Jingyin: Thank you, Junior Brother
Yun Jue (relaxed, sitting on the edge of the bed): During the day...
Jingyin (interrupting, calmly): Bai Tian, I am not as skilled as you, Junior Brother, don't take it to heart
Yun Jue (hesitantly): Actually, I...
Yun Jue didn't know what to say. In fact, he knew that he won over Senior Brother Jingyin by luck, and he felt very uncomfortable with the flattery. But at this moment, facing his senior brother who had always taken care of him gently, he could not say anything.
He fell into a rare depression, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a conspicuous color on the edge of the bed.
That is...
A blood-stained handkerchief.
Yun Jue (shocked): Senior Brother! You vomited blood!
He hurried to take Jingyin's pulse, but Jingyin grabbed his wrist.
Yun Jue didn't know that this was the closest he had ever been to death in his life. Jingyin was just about to strangle him by the neck. His pale and elegant fingers twisted behind the boy's back, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost turned into substance.
A wild cat suddenly came outside the window.
The moment the tiles made a sound of being stepped on, Jingyin's eyes suddenly became clear again.
He looked coldly at the wall reflecting the moonlight from a place where the boy couldn't see him, and let the boy grab his wrist in panic.
At the last moment when the boy was about to touch him, he suddenly pulled his hand back.
Jingyin (weakly): Junior brother, I'm fine
Yun Jue (being pushed away, hesitantly): ...Really?
Jingyin (looking at him with her usual gentle smile): It’s really okay. I’m a little sleepy. If you have nothing else to do, go back and have a rest.
Yun Jue was about to say something, but when he saw his senior brother's exhausted expression, he finally stopped talking.
Yun Jue (in a low voice): I will come to see you tomorrow.
Jingyin (laughing): OK
He watched Yun Jue walk out the door.
The boy's thin figure is like a strong bamboo, tall and handsome. This is a young and beautiful body.
But Jingyin was thinking...
One day.
He wants to break this section of bamboo. ]
There was a loud bang.
Jie Xichao was startled and turned around. It turned out that Lu Yong accidentally knocked over the stool behind him because he stood up with such a big movement.
The other party didn't care about all this at all.
Everyone heard his excited voice that he could no longer suppress:
"Ziyin, clear the area!"
