☆, Chapter 143 New Drama
After some arguments and discussions with Director Lin, Wang Xin finally decided to directly release Youth two months later.
Yes, a movie that was only a few days away from completion announced its release date in order to catch up with the popularity.
After the official Weibo announced the news, it also officially announced several variety shows for promotional purposes, including the national variety show Happy Sunday, in which Lu Congxu and Wen Mianyu will be the main guests and record two episodes.
Seeing that other variety shows were trying to take advantage of the popularity, the production team of This Is Actors certainly couldn't fall behind, and announced the lineup of mentors for the show an hour later, among whom was Lu Congxu.
The lineup of four mentors, three best actor and one best actress is very strong.
Eight students were initially announced, including fresh meat, outdated top stars, and middle-aged acting veterans. The most eye-catching one among them is, of course, the newcomer Su Moli.
Su Moli actually appeared on This Is an Actor?
With Lu Congxu?
The young couple becomes master and apprentice, are they going to fight together?
This is really interesting. The program team’s official Weibo account was forwarded and everyone expressed their anticipation.
…
"I have an audition tomorrow. It's so popular right now. Do you think I'll be chased and photographed tomorrow?"
After the show in the evening, Wen Mianyu talked to Lu Congxu on the phone and couldn't help but complain to him.
Lu Congxu smiled when he heard that. "If they like taking pictures, let them. You're so photogenic, you shouldn't be afraid of being photographed."
"Then I have to let them take beautiful photos of me." Wen Mianyu said.
"Which script are you going to audition for tomorrow?" Lu Congxu asked.
"It's called The Mist. I told you before." Wen Mianyu lay on the bed, tugging at the floral print on the window sheet. "It's an infinite flow novel. Do you remember it?"
"Weren't you selected internally? Why do you need to audition again?" Lu Congxu asked in confusion.
"It's an internal decision, but there's still an audition process." Wen Mianyu said, "We couldn't find a suitable male lead before, but this time we found one, and Director Sun asked me to come over and try to work with the male lead."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Congxu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are there any romantic scenes?"
"How could there not be? The hero and heroine have gone through life and death together, so they are bound to develop feelings for each other, and then there's the hero saving the beauty or something. I remember it was very romantic in the novel." Wen Mianyu didn't notice anything wrong at all, and continued to explain the novel to him honestly.
Lu Congxu cleared his throat and asked, "Then...are there any kissing scenes?"
"..." Wen Mianyu.
"Is there?" Lu Congxu asked.
"Of course not." Wen Mianyu coughed, "You know I don't like filming this kind of scene."
Being with Lu Congxu is already an exception.
"Then I feel relieved." Lu Congxu said.
"What? Are you worried about the kissing scene?" Wen Mianyu said sarcastically, "Do I really worry about you?"
"I won't feel uneasy about kissing scenes, but I will be jealous." Lu Congxu's tone was sincere, and his seriousness revealed a hint of clumsiness.
Wen Mianyu didn't know why, but she felt soft-hearted and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to do it even if you want to."
Half an hour later, after the two ended the call, Wen Mianyu held the phone, thought for a while, and sent another message to Lu Congxu.
Wen Mianmian: I’ll send you a video of me and the male lead acting together tomorrow.
Lu Congxu replied quickly: Don’t you want to keep it a secret?
Wen Mianmian: It’s okay, the audition clip may not be adopted, it’s just a clip, nothing special.
Lu Congxu: Wait.
Wen Mianmian: Good night.
Lu Congxu: Good night.
Wen Mianmian: Why are you trying to be cute?
Lu Congxu: Warm and lasting.
Wen Mianyu smiled and changed her WeChat name back to Wen Mianyu.
Wen Mianyu: I have nothing to say now.
Lu Congxu, good night.
…
The next morning, Wen Mianyu went to Director Sun's house.
Yes, Director Sun actually chose his home as the place for the audition.
Unlike what I imagined, Director Sun’s house is a luxurious villa.
It is not an antique building, but one that is full of artistic atmosphere.
The villa is very big, and the audition place is chosen in a room at the back. This is where Director Sun works every day. The decoration style is very Gothic, the windows are very small, and it becomes very dim when the curtains are drawn.
It was only when Wen Mianyu arrived here that she discovered that the newly confirmed male lead was Chenzui.
this……
"Nice to meet you again." Chen Zui was not surprised to see her. He greeted her as usual. It was obvious that he had known that she was the heroine.
"Yes, we meet again. This time we have more scenes together. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation." Wen Mianyu stepped forward and shook hands with Shen Zui.
The filming of "Chenzui" was completed ten days ago. I don't know where he went to work during these ten days. His beard is now untidy and he looks a lot more mature.
But his temperament was still so immature. He looked at Wen Mianyu's outstretched hand, but did not shake it. He just touched it lightly. "It's a pleasure to work with you. Remember not to take advantage of me during the scenes. After all, you have a boyfriend now."
"..." Wen Mianyu.
It's outrageous.
When will Chenzui finally believe that she really has no intentions towards him anymore?
Originally, Lu Congxu seemed a little jealous of the new actor who was working with her, but after finding out that it was Chenzui in the evening, she probably didn't feel jealous at all.
This naughty kid.
"Okay, I've prepared the scenery and supporting actors for you. Let's try out the play first and then we can talk." Director Sun came over with the script and said to the two.
After a second of intoxication, he said seriously, "Okay, Director Sun."
You can see that he really likes this movie.
Wen Mianyu suppressed a smile, "Okay, Director Lin."
"Here's the script, take a look. I also drew the storyboards for you." Director Sun handed the notebooks to the two of them. "I'll give you half an hour to prepare. Is that enough?"
"That's enough." Wen Mianyu said.
"Enough." Shenzui said confidently.
"Okay, then I'll go and do the speech scene first. You guys can sit anywhere and feel free to do so. There are snacks on the coffee table that you can eat." Director Sun said.
Wen Mianyu: "Okay."
Intoxicated, "Thank you."
After Director Sun left, the two began to memorize their lines.
Both of them are people who memorize lines quickly, so the lines are not difficult for them, but they have to combine them with the story, integrate into the situation, and perform the characters in the script.
The script given by Director Sun is very different from the novel and should be an adapted story.
The story begins with the death of the heroine Su Niantong.
The heroine was a person in the entertainment industry when she was alive. She was killed while trying to avenge her sister. After her death, she entered the revenge system, passed the copy, earned health points, and could use the health points to kill the enemies she wanted to kill.
The heroine met the hero Du Yunxiu at the first opportunity, a mysterious handsome man with peach blossom eyes. The hero and Shen Zui do not look particularly similar, but their temperaments are quite similar.
In a series of bizarre and strange events, the two fell in love with each other.
The scene we are going to perform today is about the two people meeting for the first time, meeting other teammates, and encountering the horrifying bloody handprint in the dungeon, which is their first shock.
There were many emotions to express, and Wen Mianyu memorized the lines while trying to act. Half an hour later, the audition officially began.
Director Sun: "It's foggy, just one audition, action."
…
When he opened his eyes again, Su Niantong found himself in an unfamiliar room.
She was lying on the bed, wearing the black dress she had died in, and the gunshot wound on her chest was gone.
The room is the same as a standard room in an ordinary hotel, and the surroundings are normal.
She stood up and looked around, but didn't find anything unusual, so she pushed the door open and walked out.
In the corridor, eight or nine people, both men and women, gathered together, discussing something.
Su Niantong heard a girl crying and saying, "What should I do? I'm so scared. If I die here, will I never come back to life?"
The person next to her comforted her, "It's okay, just think about it. We've all died once, and death itself won't be that scary."
"..." The crying girl was obviously not comforted by his words. After hearing what he said, she was stunned and cried even harder. "It is precisely because I have died before that I am afraid of death. I want to get out alive."
“…”The one who comforts.
Su Niantong was confused and was about to go forward to ask for clarification, but suddenly a mechanical male voice sounded in his mind.
"Welcome to the rebirth system."
The sound seemed to exist only in her mind. Su Niantong looked at the people opposite her, and none of them were disturbed by the sound.
"This system was created for those with strong resentment. Those who successfully escape the system will be given a new life. Seek revenge on those you hated but could not deal with in your lifetime."
The word "revenge" made a gleam in Su Niantong's eyes.
At this time, after the people in front finished their discussion, a man turned around, saw her and walked towards her, "Miss, you are the last one to arrive, right?"
"I..." Su Niantong was not sure, "I'm not sure..."
The man looked at her, who was clearly not in the right state, and the blank confusion in her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, we've all died once. As long as we work together, we can escape the system and have a chance to be reborn."
His words reminded Su Niantong of the voice that had appeared in his mind before.
She looked at the people behind the man. Some were frightened, some were disdainful, some were calm, and some were full of resentment, but no one questioned what the man said.
It seems that they, like her, have heard the voice before. They are people chosen by the so-called system and have strong resentment.
Thinking of the impunity left to those who had followed his death, and the inability to seek redress after his sister's tragic death, Su Niantong clenched his hands into fists, "Okay."
Regardless of whether it was true or false, or just a dream, since God had given her this opportunity, she would seize it and seek revenge on those people.
"Everyone's here now. It's getting late, so let's assign rooms and get some sleep," the man said. "I guess the system will issue the tasks early tomorrow morning."
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl came out from the crowd and asked timidly, "I... I'm a little scared of living alone. Can we go in pairs?"
"Of course." The man turned and smiled at her, saying, "I checked when I came out of the room. All the rooms here are double rooms. It's just right for two people to stay together and take care of each other."
He seemed to understand the rules of this world very well, so he had some reputation among the people.
No one opposed his proposal, and after listening to him, they gathered together to discuss sharing a room.
Su Niantong took a quick look and found that there were eleven people in total, including her, seven men and four women.
In this situation, someone will undoubtedly be isolated, and it is obviously most appropriate for two girls to share a room.
She was going to ask the timid girl, but before she could go over, a man slid his wheelchair in front of her.
The man was very handsome. Even though Su Niantong had been working in the entertainment industry for two years and had seen many handsome men and beautiful women, none of them were as handsome as this man.
Those peach blossom eyes are gentle and affectionate, and the teardrop mole under the corner of the eye adds a bit of charm.
"My name is Du Yunxiu, I'm 28 years old, and I was the CEO of Donghua Real Estate." The man's eyes curved slightly and he extended his hand towards her. "Hello."
"Hello." Su Niantong placed her fingertips lightly on his hand and said, "Su Niantong."
"You look like you are not very old," Du Yunxiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Twenty-two years old." Su Niantong replied.
"It's really not big." Du Yunxiu smiled and leaned back in his wheelchair. "It may be a bit presumptuous to ask this, but I still want to try. Can you share a room with me?"
“…” Su Niantong was stunned.
"My legs are still functioning properly." Du Yunxiu looked somewhat helpless, turning his head to point at the group of people who were discussing room sharing. "None of them really want to share a room with me."
Although they were within the system, no one was naive enough to think that everyone present could be reborn.
It is unknown whether this world is dangerous and how many people can finally escape from the system.
Therefore, it is better to choose a capable partner to live with than to choose a burden with inconvenient legs.
Everyone understands this principle.
Su Niantong also understood, but she didn’t care too much about it and believed in her own abilities.
Seeing the man's helpless look, she nodded and said, "Okay."
"Thank you." Du Yunxiu smiled at her.
Soon, the rooms were allocated.
As Su Niantong expected, the person who was isolated in the end was a blond boy who spoke foul language.
He looked so irritable that no one wanted to share a room with him.
"It's good that no one is squeezing in with me. I can live on my own."
The isolated boy glared at the people who were in pairs with an unhappy look on his face, found a room at random, kicked open the door and walked in.
Everyone ignored him and found a room that suited their taste.
They were on the second floor of a villa-like building, with a living room and dining room downstairs and six rooms upstairs, each of which was a standard room.
To Su Niantong's surprise, the timid girl shared a room with a man.
The man put his arm around her shoulders and led her to choose a room, while comforting her, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
"Thank you." The girl shrank back a little.
"Little fool." The man reached out and scratched the tip of her nose.
He looks gentle, but in fact his eyes and eyebrows are full of calculation and lust.
Su Niantong has met countless people in the entertainment industry in the past two years and would never make a mistake about this.
"Let's live in this room." Du Yunxiu's wheelchair stopped in front of a door.
Su Niantong withdrew his gaze and looked up at the house number on the door: 50.
She looked to the left again and saw that the number was 44, and the number on the right was 66.
The house numbers are very strange. They are not arranged in order and there is no logic between them.
However, the room is fully equipped with toiletries, just like the world before death.
After the two entered the room, Du Yunxiu very gentlemanly gave the bathroom to Su Niantong, and waited until she was done using it before going in to wash up briefly.
After that, the two of them lay on their beds, the lights were turned off, and the room was completely dark.
There were too many things on his mind, and he was in this strange world again. Su Niantong didn't feel sleepy until it was almost dawn.
However, before she fell asleep, she heard a sound coming from the wall in her half-awake state.
