Outside a three-story western-style building in Caochangdi Art Village, Zhang Yameng, who was bored, slid her fingers up and down through the dense chat records in her micro-words.
After Miao Miao was quiet for a long time, she whispered: "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Zhang. Come home early after lunch. Brother Qing likes spicy Hunan cuisine."
"Maybe at this moment, our cat finally remembered that there are still a lot of things to be busy with at home. Besides, didn't Xiao Meow say that the boss is no longer in a daze...Why is Brother Qing..."
From time to time, Zhang Yameng secretly glanced at Yan Qing who was looking up at the sky.
Fortunately, Yan Qing, who looked blank next to him, did not get lost for too long under the gray-blue sky of the imperial capital.
"Brother Qing, Xiaomiao said there are several Hunan restaurants with good reputations nearby. Which one should we go to?"
Hearing Zhang Yameng's words, Yan Qing had already put away his complicated emotions. He was very moved and declined politely: "Old Zhang is from Xiamen, right? Let's eat something light..."
Zhang Yameng shrugged: "I can really eat spicy food!"
Yan Qing was very considerate: "It's okay, you really don't need to deliberately accommodate me..."
In this way, Yan Qing and Zhang Yameng finally found a Minnan restaurant in Yi Ti Port near Caochangdi Art Village. By the time they got back to Shichahai by car, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
…
"Brother Qing, I'm so bored today. I have to tidy up and go back to the office later."
The two returned to the inner courtyard. Zhang Yameng greeted Yan Qing and went straight back to the small dormitory building on the left side of the inner courtyard.
Yan Qing went straight to the general manager's office on the second floor of the studio. Miao Miao was not there. She was probably busy in the backyard.
Familiarly, Yan Qing put the USB disk containing the digital master files of "Your Backpack" and the two versions of "Daughter's Love" into Miao Miao's cabinet. Yan Qing conveniently put the two pictures in the cabinet that Shao Qing gave when he first came to visit.
Two vinyl records were put into the vinyl record sleeve bag obtained from Flash Star.
There is also a vinyl record in the protective bag of the cover, which contains nine songs recorded by Yan Qing at Shining Star, including two versions of "Daughter's Love" and "Light Chaser" and "Waiting for Life" by Weng Huaijing.
I plan to take it back to the small building and listen to it slowly on the gramophone.
The computer on the empty general manager's desk was still very tempting in Yan Qing's eyes.
However, Yan Qing still remained vigilant, and the information obtained from several exchanges with Shao Qing gave him a sense of crisis that stuck in his throat.
He knew that behind the seemingly calm situation, there was something turbulent and treacherous hidden.
…
"I'd better think about perfecting myself first. I haven't practiced enough. If "I" were to play Soleixing, I would definitely do better in some areas."
Yan Qing was thinking this in his mind. He turned around and went downstairs with the protective envelope in his hand. He took a bottle of water from the refrigerator in the tea room and pushed open the door of the pull tab room.
Before entering the door, the sound of a sharp argument reached Yan Qing's ears.
…
"Classmate Zhang Jiazhi, are you injured?"
"Guan Keying? Haha, you don't need to worry about it. Why are you here? Shouldn't you hide under the protection of your parents and accuse me of being a scumbag with tears?"
"No, classmate Zhang Jiazhi, it's not what you think..."
"Oh, put away that pitiful look. The time you secretly filmed me making trouble for Han Bin... everyone knows it."
"From now on, Guan Keying will always stand behind you. Even if there is no recovery, he will not be able to shake me... Please give me guidance for the rest of my life, classmate Zhang Jiazhi."
"Xiaoying, why are you bothering..."
…
Yan Qingli stood outside the door and noticed the screen inside the movie room:
A shabby and dark room
Girl with teary eyes
A boy with an arrogant and stubborn expression
…
Yan Qing is already very familiar with this film: the dark version of "Brave".
"Why is this movie suddenly playing in the film room? Is it because she is here?"
Looking in from the door, the pull-out room seemed empty. Without giving Yan Qing more time to think, the lights inside suddenly turned on.
"The wall in the back row is equipped with a switch assembly that controls the lighting of the entire pull-tab room. Is that you? Yi Yi..."
Yan Qing walked into the pull tab room carrying the water and envelope protection bag in his hand. After entering the door, he naturally glanced at the back row of the pull tab room:
Standing in the aisle of the movie-viewing sofa in the last row was a girl about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a short school uniform and skirt.
The girl stared at Yan Qing with tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing two cute pear dimples.
"Classmate Zhang Jiazhi, are you okay?"
…
"It turns out to be Yi Yi. You are welcome to come and play. Isn't Miao Miao accompanying you?"
Yan Qing mobilized the muscles on his face, naturally there was some surprise in his eyes.
Yi Yi suppressed a smile, shook her head sadly and sighed.
"Huh...you called my name wrong, classmate Zhang Jiazhi, does it still hurt?"
Looking at Yan Qing's round head, Yi Yi's voice revealed a touch of sadness.
Yan Qing knew in his heart that this girl might be looking forward to hearing the title "Xiaoying".
"The emotional entanglement between the previous owner of this body and Weng Huaijing has been constantly being sorted out and messed up. Recently, I have shown signs of sinking deeper. Now is there another unexpected surprise?"
"It's all over now. I've already recorded three episodes of the show. If you say so..."
Yan Qing tried to make a joke and skipped the somewhat embarrassing topic of address: "I knew you definitely didn't order my "Talent Co., Ltd."
"I watch every issue. If it weren't for Shao Qing now controlling the invitation rights for flying guests, he would be the one pushing new ideas in every issue... I would have gotten the invitation letter from Pearl TV a long time ago."
Yi Yi pouted and complained about Shao Qing.
"Would you like some water? You're not a singer, so you're probably pretty boring here."
Yan Qing put the bag away and raised the water in Yi Yi's hand.
"Xiao Miao has prepared everything for me, including food and drinks. The backyard is too busy, so it's quite convenient for you to watch movies here..."
Yi Yi picked up a bottle of mineral water from the seat next to him and slowly walked over to the first row of sofas where Yan Qing was.
"Maybe it's because I know I have to go back to school. Last month, the company received a bunch of announcements for me like clockwork, plus there were reshoots, so I didn't come to see you until now."
"Work is important, I'm fine."
Yan Qing took two steps back without leaving any trace, and his back was already touching the glass curtain wall.
Yi Yi stayed close to him, then stood on tiptoes and raised her head to look at Yan Qing.
"Classmate Zhang Jiazhi, are you afraid of me? How long can you hide?"
Yi Yi's expression was a bit joking but also bitter.
Yan Qing, who realized that he had no way to retreat, felt a little panicked: "How should I accept the move?"
…
Yan Qing's brain started working at high speed.
Plan a:
"Yi Yi, you are a good person, but I already have someone I like. It is impossible for us to..."
"No, if you tell a lie, you need more lies to cover it up..."
…
Plan b:
"Xiaoying, it's been six years, and we can't go back to the past."
"Have sex with her directly? That's not possible. What if Yi Yi explodes and can't stop the scene..."
…
Plan c: (big mistake)
"Since you can't resist, then come on, close your eyes and enjoy it. What's more, you won't be able to pass the trial at all..."
…
"Alas!"
Yan Qing, who was distracted, suddenly discovered that Yi Yi's resentful expression seemed to be difficult to maintain, and the pear dimples on both sides of her mouth were looming proudly.
Another possibility came to his mind:
"The acting teaching model adopted by the Imperial Film School is the typical Stani system, which is the experiential style. Yi Yineng has not completely escaped from the shackles of the role in six years? Could it be said that this is the daily life between "me" and her
An acting exchange session?"
"Bang, this lens doesn't work. All units are preparing for another one!"
In the blink of an eye, Yan Qing used ventriloquism to imitate the sound of the clapper board, just like a director.
Yi Yi actually laughed, and she reached out and gently hit Yan Qing's chest.
"Brother Qing, haven't I made any progress at all?"
"I have made great progress, I am very full of emotions, and the use of body movements is quite reasonable. I can only blame your two pear holes, which tried their best to get out and betrayed you."
Yan Qing pointed at the corners of his mouth.
"I really want to act with you, but you didn't choose me. I was almost furious. Ahhhhh, Brother Qing, I love Li Na so much."
Yi Yi clenched his fists and waved them, repeating Li Na's lines:
"Do you think I haven't? After I heard you read the song "Xiaoya Xisang", I gave you a chance. I left you room and you didn't realize it, you ignorant and shallow emotional liar."
Observing that Yan Qing didn't mind and even seemed to be cooperating, Yi Yi finally waved two slaps in the air. Like a drama queen, she moved to the door and then turned around and said resentfully:
""Xi Sang" is completely written from a female perspective. She misses her lover and tells a woman's unforgettable feelings. No man would be stupid enough to use it to pick up girls, except you."
Yan Qing cooperated with the performance and waited until Yi Yi came back to him again after she had finished her acting addiction and smiled beautifully, before she started to complain:
"So you just want to teach Yi Niang to teach your son the twenty-four filial piety?"
"Why did you always think that I was not good at acting, and then you would show off your face after the acting? I still remember it clearly now."
Yi Yi gritted his teeth.
"So you have always held a grudge and wanted to vent your anger openly in the play, right?"
Yan Qing smiled and sat down.
"No, I'm just addicted to acting. Brother Qing, your condition is much better now than before. It's great! But..."
Yi Yi also sat down next to Yan Qing and vividly described the way her manager was beating his chest and feet: "But missing "Talent Co., Ltd." would really destroy my manager's intestines..."
…
The two of them sat side by side on the sofa in the first row of the booth and started chatting. Most of the time the topic was about "performance".
Yi Yi's words gave Yan fresh ideas and allowed him to sort out the mess that was suppressed in his heart.
"Brother Qing, you and Weng Huaijing performed really well. She also brought the character into the role to experience the Stani system, but you studied the Grotowski school of acting. Are there various schools of acting?
When you reach the top of your skills, you will end up in the same place by different paths? I like your performance, which made me see this possibility."
…
"Is it possible that I am self-taught and not systematic and professional enough? I obviously studied the Grotowski acting school, but I got stuck in Soleixing's role and couldn't tell the difference between Weng Huaijing and Li Na."
Yi Yi was very interested in talking about her acting skills. Yan Qing cooperated with her, but her mind kept changing:
"Coupled with the pleasant feeling that the scent of rosemary brings to the body, it gave me this illusion."
"I feel like I've reached a bottleneck. Brother Qing, please teach me some more tricks~"
Yi Yi didn't notice that Yan Qing was distracted, so she asked him for advice in a coquettish tone.
Yan Qing is quite skilled in both directions: "The bottleneck period is normal and everyone will have it, no matter singers, actors or directors."
Yi Yi asked: "Then...how did Brother Qing go overboard?"
"Read more theoretical knowledge, do more physical training, do more stretching, and try to enrich yourself as much as possible. Maybe you won't have this trouble anymore..."
Yan Qing's answer was more like a response to his own doubts: "In the final analysis, I still don't practice enough, and I will be done with it."
"Easy to learn from each other, as thorough as polishing, Brother Qing is truly a role model for our generation!"
Yi Yi looked at Yan Qing with admiration, his eyes so pure that it made him ashamed.
"Who would have thought that the bottleneck I'm talking about is actually a girl. Being unprofessional is simply killing people! I won't really like Bong Bong... No way... No way..."
Yan Qing, who had a lot of single experience in his previous life, was laughing at himself in this way.
