“When will Bai Sheng come out to apologize?”
“Don’t mention it. This coward is going to be a turtle forever.”
“Yue, such an unscrupulous artist can actually make a comeback.”
“Don’t you know there’s a joke to watch today? The audition will be at 10 o’clock this morning.”
“No way, Bai Sheng really dares to go when Liu Jin, the victim, is there? I support smashing his face.”
“Bai Sheng…” Fang Yuan looked at him disapprovingly in the passenger seat. “Instead of watching those things that affect your mood, you might as well memorize a few more lines.”
Bai Sheng laid there and said listlessly, “I’ve finished memorizing.”
How could it be possible? Fang Yuan almost blurted it out but suddenly thought of Bai Sheng’s subtle expression yesterday, and the words turned around in his throat, “Really?”
“Really.” Bai Sheng still didn’t move his eyes, his sight kept scanning the screen, “If you don’t believe me, quiz me.”
The young driver was driving diligently up front, hurrying toward the audition site. They needed to arrive by 10 a.m.
Bai Sheng wasn’t reading those posts just to watch people argue. He needed to understand where the mainstream public dissatisfaction was coming from. But after checking them constantly for the past couple of days, he realized it was pointless other than discovering a new point of controversy each day.
Heaven have mercy. When Bai Sheng saw his micro-expression magnified 142 times just to prove he was showing disdain, he was absolutely floored.
“Really?” Fang Yuan smacked his lips. In the past, asking him to recite lines was like coaxing a primary school student to recite a text, which would easily raise your blood pressure. Now he actually took the initiative to recite, “Eight random audition clips, have you memorized them all?”
There was nothing to see, so Bai Sheng simply turned off his phone, propped himself up, and nodded to him seriously.
“Well… I think it’s possible to draw the first scene.” Fang Yuan was quite serious and helped him with the lines with a black face, “Start with ‘I didn’t know there were guests here, I’m sorry for bothering you’.”
After that, the next part was Tuoba Jun’s lines. Fang Yuan had just prepared to continue reading when Bai Sheng’s lazy voice immediately followed.
“Since fate has brought us together, why not come down and join me, brother? I am Xiao He. I came today at the invitation of the Ninth Prince…”
His ending tone was lazy and mute, but his words were very clear, and his pronunciation was always full of special charm.
Three minutes later, Fang Yuan once again showed that dumbfounded expression.
His worldview was impacted at this moment. He couldn’t accept it.
This-this- this person, he not only recited his own lines, he also recited the lines of the male protagonist, he also recited the lines of the Ninth Prince and extras, and he also recited the dynamic description of the scene switching! !
Not only that, he didn’t stop throughout the whole process, and it was so smooth that it seemed like he wrote it.
“You, you…” Fang Yuan grunted for a long time and said, “How did you do it? You didn’t recite the other eight sections like this, did you?”
Bai Sheng turned his head slightly, with a puzzled expression: “Is that difficult?”
Fang Yuan: “…”
Butler: “…”
Who is pretending to be cool—it’s blinding.
The two turned back in silence.
Fang Yuan looked at the hot search title of #Liu Jin Audition# on Weibo, which suddenly landed at #49 out of nowhere. Different marketing accounts posted nine identical pictures. Liu Jin smiled brightly at the camera and waved. The small canine teeth and dimples that were forced out seemed a little deliberate, but he could still be called pure and cute.
Fang Yuan’s dark face slowly became solemn.
…This is the real main event.
–
WanMing rented venue.
Director Kong You was a handsome young man, about 30 years old, but his phoenix eyes were always half-closed as if he hadn’t woken up, and he looked very listless. Now he was yawning and looking at the list. “Fifteen people, are they all here?”
Everyone was sitting in the waiting room, and Liu Jin was sitting in the center.
His original status meant that he couldn’t come here at all, but since he was tied to Bai Sheng, his exposure has skyrocketed. For the sake of trending topics, quite a few shows were now willing to invite him.
The assistant looked around and said, “Bai Sheng hasn’t come yet.”
“Bai Sheng?” Kong You’s nerves were aroused by this familiar name, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. “If he doesn’t come soon, we’ll just start. Let the others head to the styling room first.”
He was about to wave his hand when another assistant rushed in from the door and whispered to him hurriedly. Kong You frowned immediately after hearing it.
What is that evil spirit doing here all of a sudden?
Suddenly, there was a booing sound from the door.
In the abrupt silence and unfriendly eyes, Bai Sheng strode in with his agent and butler, looking completely unfazed.
“I didn’t expect he would dare to come… He doesn’t really think he can be selected, right? The psychological quality of resource-hyped people is not ordinary.”
“With so much attention, he has to come? How can I be worthy of myself if I don’t take advantage of it?”
“You dare to come even though you know Liu Jin is here. Isn’t it going to be a public execution scene in a while? I’m already embarrassed in advance.”
“I can only say that people like this are happy to see a car accident…”
Liu Jin sat quietly, nodded slightly to the pitying eyes of others, and showed a wry smile.
“No, no need to speak up for me, he… Senior Bai Sheng was just misunderstood, really.”
This is a bit much. The butler’s face remained deadpan as he muttered: “The act’s getting too stiff.”
“Don’t say things that make people misunderstand.” Bai Sheng’s face did not change, and he said naturally: “Real ingredients only need the simplest cooking method. This level of tea art is just a basic introduction, don’t worry about it.”
Tea that can be seen is not real tea.
At this time in normal times, Bai Sheng would have flipped the table and started to curse with his hands on his waist. Fang Yuan’s subconscious words of dissuasion were blocked before he could say them. Suddenly, he felt inexplicably dazed again: “…”
Is this Bai Sheng, or is it an illusion caused by working for a long time.
“Oh, Bai Sheng, right?” Kong You noticed the person coming and turned his head with a distant expression but was stunned when he saw Bai Sheng, “…”
Bai Sheng smiled at him politely, with curved eyes, fine white teeth, and dimples, and a slightly thin upper lip covering the upper half of his canine teeth, and his eyes were surprisingly pure.
Kong You stared at the little tip of his canine tooth and thought absentmindedly, no wonder the previous director chose him.
Apart from anything else, this temperament is too suitable, too suitable for the naive Bai Yinwen in the early stage.
Liu Jin’s voice of dissuasion suddenly became louder, “Stop talking, senior is here for an audition, not for an argument. He must be here because he truly repents…”
Bai Sheng was noticed by everyone.
How to say it, now their eyes are more like “you are a prisoner of a labor camp” than “a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold.”
While Liu Jin “defended” Bai Sheng, he turned his head to look at his expression inconspicuously.
The waiting room is not closed, and there are staff members walking around outside at any time. He must seize this opportunity to anger Bai Sheng, let the people he arranged take pictures, and then spread them out as soon as possible.
He has not had any new works if he wants exposure. This method is safe and just. “The pitiful victim of bullying,” with this script, he will not lose anything.
But, strange…
According to this method, Bai Sheng would get visibly angry after just a few of Liu Jin’s words. Why is he so calm today…
Liu Jin observed his expression and even felt that Bai Sheng was looking at him with interest.
How is that possible? !
Fang Yuan couldn’t hold back anymore. “This guy’s gone too far!”
“Yuan’er, calm down.” Bai Sheng said slowly, “I think he is like the little dog in my house. Every time he tries to do something bad, he stares at me and observes my expression and then waits for an opportunity to strike, inching further and further…”
Fang Yuan’s ability to grasp the key points is comparable to that of Bai’s father, “You have a dog at home? How come I don’t know?”
The butler said with a sluggish face, “Why are you looking at me?”
“Butler, put down your stick.” Bai Sheng said, “If you do this, others will mistakenly think that we have strange habits.”
Fang Yuan asked innocently, “What habits?”
“You actually asked it out loud.” Bai Sheng was silent: “…the habit of raising eighteen bronze men.”
Fang Yuan: “…”
Who are you trying to fool?!
Liu Jin’s lips were almost dry from making tea over there. Looking back, he saw that Bai Sheng didn’t care at all but was talking to the two people he brought with him with a serious face.
He looked over gloomily; the corner of his mouth twitched twice.
Oh, this time he learned to be smart and consulted someone?
He can be stopped once, but can he be stopped twice or three times?
Kong You didn’t notice anything, just waved his hand, “Since everyone is here, let’s go to the dressing room first, and we can debug the machine during this time.”
For this audition, the production company even rented a venue and built a small scene, and eight clips were randomly selected. They are really rich.
Fang Yuan didn’t think it was a big deal at first, but now that Bai Sheng has gone in, he started to worry.
Although he can recite the lines, but the acting before… he is really worried.
Makeup and costume were standardized, aside from sizing differences, so soon, the actors came out of the makeup room one after another.
Bai Sheng was the last one, and as soon as he showed his head, Kong You’s sleepy eyes lit up again.
Sure enough, his first feeling was not wrong.
A carefree young man, riding a horse, can see all the flowers in Chang’an in one day. The pearl-colored tights show the curve of Bai Sheng’s waist, which is slender yet upright, handsome but not weak. His ponytail is neatly tied high and tied with a rope. When he looks into the distance, he actually feels like a high-spirited young knight.
The makeup artist only symbolically trimmed his eyebrows and filled in some flaws. Under the camera, his pupils are clear and bright, as if they have never been stained by the world.
No matter how much others hate him, they have to admit that he was born to be in this line of work.
Kong You’s eyes weren’t bright for long before his mind automatically emerged with the “Robot Acting Awards” he saw on Weibo. It is said that Bai Sheng has dominated it, and the highlight moment reaches more than two minutes.
Kong You: “…”
Why is life always so incomplete, and why is the world is so difficult to have both ways.
He forced himself to move his eyes from Bai Sheng to other people.
Modern clothes can be disguised by some methods, but once they are changed into ancient clothes, the disadvantages of some people are revealed without any doubt.
The most obvious one is Liu Jin. Before, he looked about 60% similar to Bai Sheng. Now she wears a headgear and removes her makeup, and his facial features look much plainer.
Actually, it was still acceptable, but after watching Bai Sheng and looking at him again, there was an undeniable feeling of “once you have seen the sea, you will never be satisfied with the water,” a strange awkwardness arose for no clear reason.
Liu Jin obviously only thought about how to crush the other party with his acting skills during the audition and didn’t expect the public execution now. Suddenly, his little face turned blue and purple, and his expression was quite wonderful.
He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, thinking angrily.
It’s just that face… It’s all because of that face!!
The staff on the side exchanged glances with him imperceptibly and read out the results of the lottery.
Unfortunately, Bai Sheng and Liu Jin both drew the first scene, “Flying Flowers Meet”.
Fang Yuan was so nervous that his face turned pale: “How could this happen? A probability of one in sixty-fourth…”
The biggest feature of Kong You’s camera language is that it emphasizes spirit over form. For example, the main shot of this section focuses on the moment when Bai Yinwen jumped off the wall. The handsome boy suddenly appeared in the flying petals, shining brightly, with a face like peach blossoms. This scene will also be the most colorful picture in Tuoba Jun’s long memory, and it is the beginning of the two people’s acquaintance and meeting.
Kong You took one last look at Bai Sheng’s appearance with regret and said, “Bai Sheng No. 1, get ready.”
Bai Sheng stood neatly in the designated position. The cameras in four directions were aimed at his face, but he was still calm and natural.
Liu Jin stared at him intently and almost couldn’t hide the sarcastic smile on his lips.
Just wait to see the joke.
With Kong You’s “start,” Bai Sheng’s expression suddenly changed:
[The cold wind blew, and the hidden weapon suddenly shot out from the dark with a “ding” sound but was easily intercepted and held between two fingers.
The joints are slender, white as jade, but with a hidden strength like a mountain.
There was silence again, and the crisp sound of the tip of the shoe stepping on the wall was extremely clear in the bright colors.
The boy who had been hiding his whereabouts finally showed up. The wind and clouds were rolling between the sky and the earth, and flower petals were flying all over the sky with a strong fragrance. His thin figure was hard to distinguish. Tuoba Jun half closed his eyes, and the two suddenly looked at each other. Bai Yinwen’s vivid face emerged from the flurry of blossoms, bold and radiant, full of youthful pride.
“Hey, what did you say your name was?]
The clip ended, and the whole audience was silent as soon as Bai Sheng finished speaking.
They could not evaluate Bai Sheng’s acting skills from a professional perspective. The scene just now could only remind them of the original author’s suggestion for this first meeting.
… “When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless encounters in the mortal world.”
With a “clang,” the sound of a cup being overturned came from the corner. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Liu Jin’s face was deathly pale, filled with utter disbelief.
This is impossible! !
