Upon hearing this, Ji Li looked at Yu Fuya.
Next Friday?
He should be on the way to the reality show recording.
Traveling back and forth between China and abroad, long flights and reversing day and night are very tiring for artists.
When Yu Fuya saw that Ji Li's schedule had conflicted, she was about to speak up to discuss it, but the latter took the initiative to agree.
"Thank you, Director Xu. Of course I have time."
Ji Li looked at Xu Cheng, with a glimmer of sincerity in his eyes.
It's rare to come across a high-quality script with a male lead, so he will strive for it no matter what.
tired?
Which rising star isn’t tired?
In this entertainment industry, if you want to work hard to climb up, being tired is an inevitable element.
…
The next morning, the second episode of "The Backpacker" officially began filming. According to prior requirements, this time filming started directly from the guests' accommodation.
Because of the flight transfer time, the recording started very early.
It was not yet five o'clock when the program crew arrived.
Ji Li, who had just woken up, appeared in front of the camera with messy hair that was cute. His eyes were sleepy, and his delicate collarbone was faintly visible through the slightly open collar.
"Good morning."
Her voice was soft and sticky, with a hint of languor and sleepiness after sleep.
It's so soft and cute, and full of alluring temptation.
When the exclusive director saw this scene, he started to cry out in his heart——
Whose baby is this!
It's not even daybreak yet and you're already running out to disturb people's hearts!
Woo woo woo I really want to stop being a human being. I rush up to my baby Jili and start rubbing and kissing him wildly.
Just as I was thinking about it, a cat's meow came from somewhere.
“Meow!”
Xuebing crawled out of the cat's nest. When it saw so many strangers suddenly appear, it became alert instantly and jumped into Ji Li's arms.
Ever since the last encounter with a perverted stalker in the hotel, Xue Bing has been extra wary of strangers.
"Good boy." Ji Li rubbed its head and introduced it to the camera, "This is the cat I picked up on the set during my first filming. It's called Xue Bing."
"Meow~"
Xuebing always enjoys Ji Li's touch.
Perhaps it felt its owner's relaxation, so its attitude towards the program team also relaxed.
Ji Li introduced his suitcase as required by the program team, and it took less than five minutes.
"Is this enough?" asked the exclusive director.
"That should be enough, right?"
Ji Li replied uncertainly.
He didn't like to let others pack up his personal belongings, so he packed this box last night.
Because he had to return to China for auditions, he didn't bring many personal belongings with him.
After completing the unboxing process, Ji Li quickly changed into casual clothes and followed the program crew's car to Qin Li's home.
"Has Ji Li ever come to Brother Li's house privately?" Random interview by the exclusive director.
Ji Li shook his head and answered honestly, "No."
It's not a deliberate answer to deceive fans, but I really have never been there.
It's interesting to say.
Although the two were in a relationship, Ji Li had never been to Qin Li's home in Hai City.
The two of them confirmed their relationship after the filming of "Long Island Iced Tea" was completed, and after returning to China, they were busy promoting the movie and attending award ceremonies.
Later, Ji Li encountered a stalker, and the two lived together in the capital. After the holiday, they returned to their work.
Ji Li didn't expect that the first time he went to Qin Li's residence in Hai City would be under the pretext of "program recording".
The door opened, and the first person to get out was the major general.
The dog smelled Ji Li's scent early in the morning and immediately pounced on him and stuck to him. Of course, what it likes most is the smell of the snow cake on Ji Li's body.
But to the major general, Ji Li had long been his second master.
Qin Li leaned against the door, and his eyes fell on Ji Li at the first moment, "Sorry, I'm a very sociable dog."
The actor can convince people with just a few words, and his acting skills are outstanding.
Ji Li suppressed his laughter and rubbed the major general's head, "It's okay."
The two directors looked at each other, and questions arose in their minds at the same time -
Being outgoing?
Then how do you stick to Ji Li specifically?
Could it be that this is what is called a 'face lover'? Only wag your tail at good-looking guys?
The established process of the program is similar.
However, it took Qin Li much longer to unpack his luggage than Ji Li because his luggage was packed in too detailed a manner.
Probably because the travel period was long, Qin Li carried two large boxes this time.
Each set of clothes is packed into bags, from inner wear to outer wear, from thin shirts to thick clothes, not to mention accessories such as hats and sunglasses. Even medicines have special medicine bags, and there are even special instant tea bags...
In fact, he not only brought his own things, but also brought a lot of "Ji Li exclusive" items. Of course, no one would know if he didn't say it.
Qin Li complied with the program team's requirements and carefully introduced the items in his bag. From how familiar they are with the suitcases, you can tell they packed them themselves.
The two female directors were stunned, completely immersed in Qin Li's charm and unable to extricate themselves——
Isn’t Brother Li too attentive?
Wow, I didn’t expect that he is such a good family man. I want to marry him!
After this segment is broadcast, how many female fans will Brother Li attract? After all, who doesn’t want a boyfriend who can take care of everything when they’re out and about?
Ji Li stood silently by, watching the staff's gradually shocked expressions with interest.
Somehow.
He actually felt a sense of honor.
Did you see it?
An excellent man is the most attractive, and an excellent man is still his.
The recording has temporarily ended, and the program team is looking for a place to record Qin Li’s solo interview.
Seeing this, Ji Li finally found time to speak, "Brother Li, where is the bathroom?"
"Go to the one in the bedroom."
There were people coming and going in the corridor near the toilet, and Qin Li didn't want to make Ji Li feel inconvenienced.
"good."
Ji Li smiled slightly as he pointed in a direction.
Qin Li's bedroom, a space that no outsiders were allowed to enter, was easily pointed out to him.
Even though the two had already become lovers, Qin Li's subconscious approval and guidance still made Ji Li feel warm and sweet.
When the door of the room opened, the surrounding furnishings caught Ji Li's eyes. In an instant, the emotion called "touched" swept through his entire heart.
Qin Li bought all the magazines and endorsements he had used since his debut, and placed them properly in front of his desk.
The room was filled with items for two people, even the toiletries in the bathroom were in pairs...
Almost all of these items were mentioned by Ji Li inadvertently during their cohabitation, and the colors purchased were all his favorites.
Even though Ji Li had never been to this house, he could feel his importance in Qin Li's heart from this small world.
The door opened, closed, and locked.
"...Libao." Qin Li saw Ji Li standing there stupidly, walked over and hugged him from behind, "What's wrong?"
Ji Li couldn't contain his inner throbbing. He turned around and threw himself into his lover's arms without a care in the world. "Qin Li, thank you."
In the entertainment circles of both the past and present worlds, Ji Li has seen too many different kinds of people, and has seen too many couples go from sweetness to separation.
There are also many couples whose breakups are very awkward, which makes a group of CP fans shout "I will never believe in love again".
Ji Li had seen too many separations and reunions, so he decided to focus on his career. Originally, he was slow and resistant in relationships, and always felt that it was difficult to have both.
Until Qin Li appeared.
The other party quietly invaded his life and occupied his mind, but stayed within an acceptable range and never did anything to hinder his career.
Let him put aside any previous resistance and willingly immerse himself in this relationship.
Ji Li clearly sensed that—
Even if everything in the entertainment industry changes, Qin Li's attitude towards him will not change.
"I told you, we don't need to say 'thank you' to each other." Qin Li withdrew slightly and looked at Ji Li's face worriedly, "What's wrong? Did you not get enough rest last night?"
"Yeah, I really want to sleep in your arms for a while." Ji Li lost his previous restraint and obviously indulged his true emotions.
There was a hint of love in his eyes, and he actively and forcefully hugged Qin Li.
I won't say "thank you" anymore. If possible, every "thank you" will probably turn into "I love you".
Qin Li naturally felt his emotions and was stunned.
In fact, Qin Li knew very well that he was the first one to fall in love in this relationship, so he never forced Ji Li, who was slow to warm up and self-restrained, to give too much response.
Not forcing doesn't mean he doesn't want it.
The momentary love Ji Li showed at this moment made Qin Li's heart beat fast, but also a little flustered and nervous, "Why are you suddenly so clingy to me?"
"Is it not good to stick to you?" Ji Li pecked his slightly cold lips, "Qin Li, happy wrap-up."
Qin Li was infected by Ji Li's initiative, and his breathing became noticeably tighter. "Baby, don't try to seduce me on purpose. I can't stand it."
God knows.
It has been a long time since the two of them did anything intimate.
If he hadn't considered that they would have to travel and film later, he would have already "executed the little devil on the spot".
When Ji Li saw Qin Li's miserable look of "wanting something but not being able to have it", the smile on his lips became more obvious.
I don't know when he started to have a little-known hobby -
Seeing Qin Li, who was serious and abstinent in front of outsiders, becoming clingy and uncontrollable in front of her.
Ji Li particularly liked this contrast, and besides that, he also felt a little bit satisfied and proud.
"Qin Li, I..." Ji Li was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the microphone on Qin Li's collar.
In an instant, his face turned red enough to seem like blood was about to drip out.
“…”
It's over now.
He was so moved by the layout of the room that he completely forgot that Qin Li still had to continue recording the interview session.
When Qin Li saw Ji Li's expression, he immediately guessed the other party's true thoughts.
He took the opportunity to bite his lover's lower lip, doting on her. "I'll let you act unruly in front of me next time. Are you scared now?"
“…”
Ji Li didn't dare to say anything nonsense, and used his mouth to gesture, "What should I do?"
"I turned off the microphone a long time ago, don't be afraid." Qin Li calmed the panicked Ji Li in time.
Having lived under the camera for so many years, Qin Li knows the limits better than anyone else. He will never allow himself to indulge himself where he should be restrained.
What's more, Ji Li, who is so adorable in private, can only be his exclusive baby, and no one else is allowed to see or hear her.
"Everything should be ready outside. I'll go get ready first." Qin Li estimated the time and reluctantly let go of his lover.
After turning around and taking two steps, he couldn't help but stop and tell her, "If you didn't get enough rest last night, get some more sleep on the plane later."
Ji Li smiled and said, "Okay."
…
The program group was divided into two groups and carried out simultaneously.
While the director here was mesmerized by Ji Li and Qin Li, the director over there was also stunned by the splendor of Ji's house.
The two groups arrived at the airport one after another and headed for their second destination - Austria.
Compared with the last "Metamorphosis", this trip seems to be much more high-end and upscale, named "Music Exploration Journey".
Of course, the essence of the 'poor' travelogue has not changed, and the production team's routines are as profound as ever.
During the trip, every time when it came to the blind audition, Ji Yunqi and Yuan Yifei seemed to be under some unbreakable spell.
No matter they choose first or last, they will continue their "unlucky" luck to the end.
This is not the worst.
The two of them were unlucky and were completely crushed by Qin Li in terms of strength.
As for Ji Li, he was just a little follower who stayed beside the 'Emperor of Europe' and won without doing anything. He was incredibly relaxed throughout the whole process.
Three days passed in a flash.
In the hotel room, Qin Li looked at Ji Li who was packing his luggage and asked worriedly.
"Do you have all your documents with you? Have you contacted Sister Yu and the others? Someone needs to pick you up after you get off the plane."
"It's all arranged, don't worry."
Ji Li qualified for the second round of auditions with Director Xu Cheng, and was about to return home while the program crew was transferring to the next stop.
Ji Li and Chen Xiaoyun have discussed that he will be absent from the recording of the third tour, and will be temporarily replaced by the closed schedule of Lixing Culture.
After the domestic auditions are over, Ji Li will go directly to the final travel destination, Iceland, to join up with the program crew.
"I heard that the windmills in the Netherlands are very spectacular, but it's a pity that the timing is wrong this time."
"It's not a pity. We can go there privately when we have time." Qin Li thought of his lover's hurried schedule and felt distressed. "Can your body handle this kind of rush back and forth?"
"I can handle it. I still have one day to adjust after I return home."
In the past, Ji Li had encountered even more hectic schedules.
Thanks to Qin Li, Ji Li had a great time and rested well during these three days. Although he was recording the program in front of the camera, he always felt like he was on vacation in disguise.
"Come on, don't feel pressured during the audition." Qin Li suppressed the reluctance in his heart.
"Director Xu Cheng has a very good film crew. Getting his male-lead movie will be helpful for your future."
Qin Li fully understood and respected Ji Li's hard work.
They are actors, and film shooting is an indispensable job for them. If they encounter a good career springboard, they should rush forward in time and fight for it with their own strength.
The staff outside the door urged us that it was almost time to go to the airport.
"Qin Li, wait for me to come back with good news." Ji Li came closer, smiling so seductively that he seemed to be asking for a kiss.
Qin Li couldn't help it, lowered his head and kissed his lips, "Okay."
…
Friday, 2pm.
They arrived at the interview location designated by Director Xu Cheng - a private house.
The area is large, but very empty.
Apart from the walls painted white and some extra decorations, even the chairs used for entertaining guests were plastic stools, which looked like they were used temporarily.
As soon as the staff led them in, a handsome young man suddenly stood up from the stool.
"Hello." The boy bowed with a sweet smile, his eyes indescribably clear and pure, "My name is Zhang Ye."
"Hello." Ji Li responded, maintaining the politeness between colleagues.
Only after the staff left did Ji Li and the other two find a seat to sit down.
Zhang Ye, who was sitting in the front row, turned around, still smiling, "Hello Ji Li, I really like your role as Xie Yan!"
He looks like a simple and outgoing person.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in his early forties walked in.
There was obvious displeasure in the other person's eyes. "Zhang Ye, come out with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."
After saying this, the man deliberately glanced at Yu Fuya.
"Okay, Brother Chen." Zhang Ye's smile disappeared and he responded nervously.
When he stood up, he did not forget to politely gesture to Ji Li and others.
However, this behavior caused strong dissatisfaction among the man surnamed Jin, "Why don't you come over here! What are you dithering for?"
Zhang also heard this and ran out quickly.
When the two disappeared in the living room, Baozi muttered quietly, "Too fierce."
Ji Li didn't know the person just now, so he asked, "Sister Yu, do you know that person?"
"His name is Chen Chao. He is the top agent of Jincheng Pictures and he had some skills in the early years."
At the beginning, it was he and Jin Xianliang who jointly planned the public opinion and poached Zhu Xusheng from Chaoying Culture to Jincheng Pictures.
Chen Chao has faded from the circle in the past few years. I didn’t expect to see him here again today.
Baozi, who knows everything about entertainment, came online in time, "Brother Ji, Sister Yu, let me tell you, this Zhang is also a newly signed artist of Jincheng."
He is only 20 years old this year and hasn't even graduated from university yet. He appeared on "New Generation Actors" at the end of last year. Apart from the hugely popular Qi Heng, he is the most popular one.
Ever since Zhu Xusheng's "car sex" incident, the position of "number one" in Jincheng Films has been vacant. Cai Yishu, who the company has been promoting, was also boycotted by the public some time ago for "adding more actors".
Ji Li asked in a low voice, "So, Zhang Ye has become Jincheng's newest favorite?"
“That should be the case. The fact that Jincheng gave such an important audition spot to Zhang Ye shows that he values him.” Yu Fuya replied.
Last time, Vivian personally admitted that Zhang Ye’s ‘holy monk’ look was good. Now that he has seen the real person, he does have a bit of clean and gentle youthfulness.
Judging from Chen Chao's current situation, he should have returned to be Zhang Ye's agent.
Ji Li remained silent.
This was the first time he met Zhang, but he had an impression of this person's name.
Because it was written in the later part of the original book, Zhang Ye's development momentum was very strong, and he even competed with the male protagonist Ji Yunqi for the "Best Actor" trophy.
I think any character that can appear in a positive light in the original book won’t be too bad.
It is said that appearance reflects the heart. Zhang Ye does not have the "malice" that Zhu Xusheng and Cai Yishu have. Ji Li has a good impression of him.
But Chen Chao doesn't look like someone who is easy to get along with.
Yu Fuya broke the silence and said, "I don't know who else will make it to the second round of auditions besides Zhang Ye."
Director Xu Cheng's casting information was kept so secret that it was impossible to dig out the specific list.
Ji Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "It doesn't matter, I'll just do my best."
Just do your best.
As for the final result, it still depends on the choice of Director Xu Cheng.
In less than three minutes, Zhang Ye and Chen Chao walked back into the house.
The former no longer had the ease he had before, and sat upright on the stool with his back straight.
Ji Li stared at his back, his eyes shaking slightly, and then, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Director Xu Cheng walked in first, followed by three or four people.
"Director Xu."
Everyone who was waiting stood up.
Xu Cheng waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone, "Let me introduce you to these two people, the screenwriter Lan Lingmeng and the casting director Chi Ji. They will be in charge of your audition with me today."
"Oh, and this guy..." Xu Cheng paused and pointed at someone, "He's also one of the actors who auditioned."
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a young man standing at the end of the crowd.
Baozi reacted immediately——
It’s Xu Yanzhi!
The other party debuted as a child star and has played the young male lead in many costume dramas. At such a young age, he has countless female fans and older sister fans.
At the age of 18, Xu Yanzhi played the leading role in the movie "Dream Corridor" directed by Xu Cheng. It was released the following year. The character image he created, "evil beauty and sinister", won a lot of recognition.
Some media have commented that Xu Yanzhi's lonely and cold temperament is unique in the entertainment industry and he will definitely be a top actor in the future.
After the movie was released, Xu Yanzhi was nominated for the "Best Actor" of the Huadian Awards, and he was also the youngest nominated actor in history.
However, the competition that year was particularly fierce. After Xu Yanzhi was eliminated, he disappeared from the public eye.
Who would have thought that after five years, he would be planning to return to the entertainment industry? He was also one of the actors who auditioned for "The Demon Monk".
Baozi and Yu Fuya looked at each other and silently worried about Ji Li.
From any perspective, Xu Yanzhi is definitely a strong competitor.
Chen Chao also recognized Xu Yanzhi. He glanced at his artist Zhang Ye and felt something was wrong.
The main plot of "The Demon Monk" revolves around the male protagonist who comes down to earth and is "transformed into a demon". The demon monk must be beautiful and evil enough.
Now that I think about it, this character was tailor-made for Xu Yanzhi. What's more, he is the nephew of Director Xu Cheng.
Both publicly and privately, Xu Yanzhi has a greater chance of becoming the male lead than the other two.
"Let's go, the scene has been set up, the three of you go in together." Director Xu Cheng didn't waste any words.
Yu Fuya was surprised, "Director Xu, they are auditioning together?"
"I need you to act with each other, and I also need you to see each other's strengths clearly." Director Xu Cheng nodded.
Only by comparing them together can the winner and loser be clearly seen.
The director finished speaking and led the way inside.
The screenwriter handed the other two audition volumes to Zhang Ye and Ji Li.
Xu Yanzhi, who was at the end, glanced coldly at his two competitors without even saying hello and entered the inner room without saying a word.
Chen Chao stood there and sneered faintly, "After all this time, the two of you are just running along."
He even scolded Zhang Ye for a long time, telling him not to get too close to his competitor Ji Li.
Zhang Ye clenched the thin book in his hand, his expression becoming more and more nervous.
Ji Li flipped through the audition clip he had just received, a hint of a desire to win revealed in his eyes.
Run with me?
Sorry, this word never exists in his dictionary.
