extra 2.2
Yan Xun put the processed ingredients on the plate and did not directly answer Xu Jingning's leading question: "What to try? Well, let me think about whether there are any suitable friends. I will recommend them to the director tomorrow."
Xu Jingning curled his lips. He couldn't stay on the sofa any longer. He put on his slippers and walked into the kitchen: "I said, I want to act with you. Are you willing?"
"If you keep silent for three seconds, it means you agree."
Yan Xun joined him in making trouble. As soon as he turned around and wanted to speak, Xu Jingning immediately covered his mouth with his hand: "Three, two, one."
"Okay! I knew Teacher Yan had this idea!"
Yan Xun looked at his little lover's smiling face and sighed helplessly.
What Xu Jingning said now might be a joke, after all, the casting matter was not his concern, but he did guess the result by accident.
Because this drama was contracted solely by Yan Xun Studio, if he couldn't find a suitable candidate, Yan Xun, as the boss, would have to be responsible for the project.
Before that day comes, Yan Xun still wants to try to find other actors.
Rather than acting with Xu Jingning, he hopes that everyone will see Ningning because of his acting skills. How far he can go depends entirely on his own ability, not just his name being mentioned everywhere together with Yan Xun.
Both of them understood this principle, but there was still a long time to go, so there was no rush to untie them.
The preparation period was long. Before there was any news from the crew, Xu Jingning received another notification.
"Live broadcast? What live broadcast?"
While reading the script and chatting with Xu Xingcheng about work, Xu Jingning was absent-minded and only caught a few words. At first glance, he thought she was pointing at him: "Oh, yes, I seem to have not live-streamed for a long time, but you know what I've been busy with recently. I signed a confidentiality agreement. Can I talk about those things with my fans?"
"What are you talking about?" Xu Xingcheng was confused. "Did you hear what I said clearly?"
"I mean, Pingjiang Film and Television City is about to officially start operations. The live broadcast of the opening ceremony has invited all the guests from the performing arts community. You have to free up your weekend time for me, okay?"
When his sister yelled the first word, Xu Jingning hurriedly took the phone away from his ear. Fortunately, this time he received all the messages clearly and answered immediately.
After ending the call, Xu Jingning suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since he last met with his old friends.
In just over two months it will be the first anniversary of the first season of Actors: Drama. During this year, everyone has made their own progress. Apart from Xu Jingning who plans to take the boutique route and settle down, the ones who have made the best progress are Chu Xinrou and Ye Zhiliu.
After leaving Acting Life, the two actresses with very different styles turned around and took on a dual-female lead fantasy drama together. It is now on the air and has received rave reviews. Then Ye Zhiliu struck while the iron was hot and went the traffic route, while Chu Xinrou came into contact with a positive melody TV series and seemed ready to develop in this direction.
The matter of Ye Zhiliu being a traffic star was complained by Xiang Yuan not long ago, who said that this guy went to a boy band talent show as a supporting actor, but ended up being attracted by those trainees. And he happened to have a little sister at home who was particularly attracted by that, so in a fit of anger, he changed his look and started acting as a "husband" to many of his fans.
You know what, the effect is really good. Now when people talk about the No. 1 female Alpha in domestic entertainment, everyone thinks of Ye Zhiliu.
Refreshing and handsome, he not only beats a bunch of greasy idols, but also corrects the trend among idols.
As for the rest, Chen Zi never gave up his hobby of photography, and started to half-shoot and half-act in low-budget web dramas. Xin Yao continued to improve steadily, and the remaining three actors were also slowly gaining popularity.
Xiang Yuan was very popular on various variety shows because of his interesting stories. He successfully joined Star Communications at the beginning of this month. As luck would have it, he happened to be under Xu Xingcheng's command. After completing all the procedures, he learned that his good brother was about to leave.
"You should give me an explanation!"
On the day of the live broadcast of the opening of Pingjiang Film and Television City, before anyone arrived, Xu Jingning walked into the lounge, only to see Xiang Yuan with a sullen face, looking as if he had been waiting for him there for a long time.
Xu Jingning found it a little funny. He asked his assistants to go out and walked up to his good brother and gave him a hug.
"Calm down, calm down. It doesn't matter what company you're with. We're still good brothers. Even though I went to Yan Xun's place, we can still act together."
"That's not what I care about! Everyone knows that you've become love-brained after falling in love with Yan Xun!" Xiang Yuan wanted to push Xu Jingning away with some disgust, but after he stretched out his hand, he remembered that he didn't use enough strength and couldn't bear to do it.
Finally, I had no choice but to follow suit and punch his shoulder, "I'm angry that you even told Ye Zhiliu but didn't tell me!"
Xu Jingning: "...what?"
He couldn't figure out this logic for a long time. What did Ye Zhiliu know? He and Yan Xun didn't make it public, right?
Seeing that Xu Jingning was about to misunderstand, Xiang Yuan remembered to add: "Oh, it's about your job change. I didn't say anything else. I just ran into Ye Zhiliu just now. She said that you might be going to Yan Xun's studio... Why didn't you tell me first!"
Xu Jingning blinked, then slowly recalled: "I...I think it's because I met Ye Zhiliu two days ago."
As they were talking, the door was pushed open. They both turned around and saw the center of the topic greeting them with a little embarrassment.
"Hahaha, what a coincidence that you are all here..." Ye Zhiliu heard that Xu Jingning had arrived and was happily about to come over to say hello, but he happened to hear them talking about himself.
She keenly realized that the topic was not in her favor, and immediately wanted to turn around and leave: "Why don't you guys continue chatting, I'm leaving first!"
Xu Jingning and Xiang Yuan looked at each other, walked forward in tacit understanding, and each of them grabbed Ye Zhiliu, who was not much taller than them, with one arm.
This time I confirmed that the door was indeed locked.
Although Ye Zhiliu is tall and strong, he is still a little nervous when facing two men: "Brothers, let's talk it out! I agree with everything!"
Xu Jingning: “…”
He met Ye Zhiliu two days ago. The reason was coincidental. Chang Le saw a recent set of photos of Ye Zhiliu with short hair and immediately urged the director to ask her to audition for the role of the criminal investigation team leader. Coincidentally, Ye Zhiliu was also very interested and came.
The audition process actually went very smoothly. Ye Zhiliu was very popular, had a very humble attitude, and was extremely easy to get along with. To some extent, he fit the image of the protagonist very well. But just when Chang Le was about to finalize the decision, he unexpectedly discovered that Ye Zhiliu was too easy to talk to.
In other words, very fence-sitter.
After much hesitation, he reluctantly asked Ye Zhiliu if he was interested in another role.
He was a young policeman who had few roles but was very funny, and his personality was almost exactly the same as Ye Zhiliu.
As luck would have it, Ye Zhiliu did not mind that his role had been changed from the protagonist to a minor character. He was still very happy and gave his all, and he got the role very smoothly.
Xu Jingning happened to come over that day and witnessed the whole process of Chang Le's struggle with her own eyes.
By the way, he kindly helped Ye Zhiliu to play opposite another character.
So, after the audition that day, Ye Zhiliu stood aside and heard Chang Le complaining to Xu Jingning in pain, and then he realized something:
She is going to film a movie with Xu Jingning.
The lead actor seems to be... Yan Xun???
Wait, her agent didn’t tell her that her partner was also in the same crew before she came?!
After finishing the work and returning home, Ye Zhiliu's long-lost CP brain started to work again. Her IQ was rarely online for a while. She excitedly collected various clues and found that Xu Jingning was indeed going to Yan Xun's studio more frequently.
This was an open secret in their CP group. They were just waiting for Xu Jingning's contract to expire in June and she would change companies. But because they met again today, she was too proud and accidentally revealed it to Xiang Yuan.
After all, good brothers and good sisters should eat the CP sweet stuff together.
Xiang Yuan, who was so busy changing companies and taking on a new job that he didn’t even remember to support CP: “…What did you say?! How come I don’t know anything about it!!!”
Xu Jingning, who was truly surprised and innocent, said: "..."
He looked at the two of them with some helplessness and amusement: "I thought I hid it well, but you guys dug it all out?"
However, after he and Yan Xun got together, they really didn't care much about the business CP. The two of them were busy with work, and apart from being careful on dates, they didn't take too many precautions.
The news that Ye Zhiliu was "forced to confess" was also legal and normal. It was basically obtained by big fans through comparing the itineraries of the two and some photos taken accidentally. It can only be said that the guess is roughly right, but as long as the official Weibo does not acknowledge it, they can only treat it as "business candy".
As he listened, Xu Jingning became curious: "Tell me, are there any other candies?"
Ye Zhiliu's eyes lit up, and he began to talk incessantly about the love journey of the "Xun Ning" CP in front of Xiang Yuan's constipated expression. Most of the stories were made up, and nine out of ten were 18+ content that was not suitable to listen to. Then, as he spoke, Xu Jingning could no longer be happy.
OK, OK...it's almost a huge rumor.
Although the later adaptation of the specific content of their date was a bit too ridiculous, for the most part, the location and time were correct.
Xu Jingning was silent.
CP fans are really scary.
We can only be thankful that he now lives with Yan Xun, and there is no way their residence can be exposed, otherwise this relationship would really be impossible to hide.
Seeing his smile disappear, Xiang Yuan guessed it and laughed at him happily: "Oh, you guys are so fierce in pairing up. Look, Ning Ning is blushing just by listening to her."
Xu Jingning smiled: "..."
Pale face is more like that.
Probably because of Xiang Yuan's joke, Ye Zhiliu said that she had said it all, and she became bolder. She patted Xu Jingning's shoulder with a hint of unsatisfaction, "Oh, CP fans are all like this, don't mind it, just listen to it and treat it as a joke."
Xu Jingning smiled bitterly: "It's not a joke."
He is the biggest joke.
The three of them didn't stay in there for too long. After all, this was the territory of the film and television city. After receiving the notification from the staff that everyone had arrived, they immediately left the lounge to gather with everyone.
After not seeing each other for a long time, this group of people gathered together again. They had changed a lot compared to a year ago. After greeting everyone one by one, Chu Xinrou smiled and said, "It's true that red energy nourishes people. Ningning, you are getting better and better."
Xu Jingning said modestly: "You too, will get better and better in the future."
The best thing about being a mainstream actor is that as long as they don't rebel and follow the arrangements from above, there will be no scandals exposed and they can also eat a stable job in this industry for the rest of their lives.
This is indeed the most suitable route for Chu Xinrou.
Others also greeted each other in twos and threes. Although everyone had changed a lot since the last time they met, it seemed like they had returned to the lively family atmosphere of last year. They laughed and joked for a while before someone remembered, "Hey, why are we the only ones here? Isn't the instructor coming today?"
When the staff heard their inquiry, they replied in a businesslike manner: "The instructors cannot come due to schedule conflicts, and the others have not been notified."
"But you can go into the studio and explore on your own."
Everyone was a little confused. This statement seemed to be fine, but it also gave people an indescribable feeling.
Until Chen Zi spoke up and reminded: "So this time the organizer is planning to imitate the game routine of the performance?"
After this reminder, everyone suddenly understood.
"Yeah, I'm just saying, where have I heard this kind of thing said but not said at the same time?"
"I still remember how shocked I was when I first came to the film and television city. It is really fun to come again with the same mentality hahahaha!"
"I'm already getting excited, so do we have a mission today as well?"
Seeing that they were in the right state, the staff distributed handheld cameras to the actors one by one and taught them twice how to use them. After making sure that everyone understood the functions, they let them enter the film and television studio.
"Dear guests, you can explore on your own. Your live broadcast rooms have also uploaded to the live broadcast platform of Yansheng. But what is different this time is that you have no tasks today. You are just acting as tour guides to lead netizens to appreciate the internal construction of the film and television city. Whether you plan to travel alone or in a group, and when to start and stop the live broadcast, the choice is in your hands."
“Of course, by the end of the day, the film and television city will prepare different small gifts for you based on the total number of views of your live broadcast rooms.
After hearing the last sentence, everyone showed an expression of "I knew it" at the same time.
Xu Jingning asked with a try-it-out attitude, "Can I ask what the prizes are?"
Unexpectedly, the staff actually answered: "The lower limit is to set various small penalties, and the upper limit..."
He smiled, and dragged out the words to whet everyone's appetite before continuing: "Maybe there is no upper limit."
Everyone seemed to be indifferent at first. After all, they were no longer constrained by the show crew, so no punishment or reward could attract them.
But when the words "no upper limit" came out, everyone's eyes widened.
"Well, everyone, sorry, I have to leave first." Xiang Yuan didn't even think twice, turned around and ran towards the film and television city with the camera in his arms.
Stimulated by his words, Ye Zhiliu could no longer stand and followed him in.
But Xu Jingning and Chu Xinrou were still standing there, observing something in front of the camera. Luo Yingying, who was about to go in with them, noticed their movements and immediately stopped: "Ningning and Rourou, aren't you going to leave? If we count by total views, the longer the live broadcast is on, the more advantages we have."
After all, the audience only knows that the guest performers will broadcast live, but they are not aware of their rules. Of course, the first person to start the live broadcast can enjoy the first wave of audience benefits.
Probably because they recalled Xu Jingning's ability to control himself during the recording, the others actually gathered around and watched what the two of them were preparing to do.
Xu Jingning waved his hands helplessly: "It's not that we don't want to rush, but we have to confirm one thing before going in."
He pointed at the camera in Chu Xinrou's hand and said, "When the staff taught us how to use it just now, they asked us to switch with each other, saying that the one who was faster would teach the slower one, and they also manually changed the cameras for us."
The others nodded in confusion.
"Well, I have some bad news for you all." Xu Jingning took the camera from Chu Xinrou's hand and opened a very secret place. There was a very small sticker on it, which might fall off if rubbed a few times. "That is, each of our cameras may be fixed."
The name written on the sticker in Xu Jingning's hand is "Xiang Yuan".
Everyone: “……!”
What a malicious intention! So this live broadcast must have been planned by the actors!
At the same time, Pingjiang Film and Television City, which had just pushed the term "reunion of acting students" to the hot search, promptly attracted a large number of netizens to the platform. Everyone was ready to go in front of the nine small split screens that were all pitch black. Suddenly, the small split screen with "Ye Zhiliu's Live Room" lit up. Everyone rushed in, only to find that it was Xiang Yuan's face that appeared.
【??? What happened, did I see it wrong?】
[Ahhh, I entered and exited several times. This is Ye Zhiliu's live broadcast room. Xiang Yuan, did you go to the wrong place? ]
Xiang Yuan was completely unaware of this and greeted everyone happily: "Good afternoon, everyone. Today I will be your tour guide and take you to visit the officially opened Pingjiang Film and Television City!"
[Hahahahahahaha, Xiang Yuan, just listen and return the camera to Brother Liu]
[No, I can’t laugh anymore]
[Wait wait wait, I know where Ye Zhiliu went, family members, please watch the live broadcast room next door! ]
A sharp-eyed netizen discovered the problem and ran out with many people, and more people soon noticed that another lit split screen among the remaining eight split screens also seemed to be different.
Tour guide on screen: Ye Zhiliu
The name of the live broadcast room: [Xu Jingning's live broadcast room]
Netizens: ?????
Pingjiang Film and Television City, are you playing a very new live broadcast?
