Chapter 47 Meow
Chapter 47 Meow
"There are bandits and gentlemen, who are like cutting like learning, like cutting like grinding."
"This is a sentence from the Book of Songs."
"A gentleman is like jade, his name is Yucheng, remember?"
At that time, the little boy was about three or four years old. Except for Fang Jianguo, he was not very close to anyone. At first, he was suspected of having an IQ problem.
He was wearing overalls, shoveling sand with a small shovel in his hand, and opened a pair of round light amber eyes. He was quiet for a long time, and asked in a low voice:
"Who is he? Why should I remember him?"
The unkempt middle-aged man still had a mischievous smile on his face. After looking at him for a while, the smile faded a little:
"Do you remember?"
"..."
The boy looked at him quietly.
But unexpectedly, Fang Jianguo was not angry.He just looked at the little boy in silence for a while, sighed, and shook his head:
"He is your savior."
"He's..." His voice suddenly became hoarse and became very low, and his smile couldn't hold on anymore.
Fang Jianguo couldn't finish that sentence.
He held the little boy's hand and waited outside the theater.At this moment, Dong Rulan, who was wearing a costume in Tsing Yi, came out, smiled and called 'Brother Jianguo', and hugged Fang Jianguo.Next to Dong Rulan was a young man in military uniform, handsome and good-looking.
The young man picked up the little boy and said with a smile, "Huaihuai, long time no see, you've grown so big."
Until much later.
Fang Huaicai suddenly remembered this scene vaguely, and also remembered the sentence that Fang Jianguo could not finish.
What he said was:
"he is……"
"All my life I want to love people who dare not love."
"..."
Fang Huai doesn't have many memories of his childhood.
As long as he can remember, he seems to have stayed with Fang Jianguo in a small remote place, and rarely entered the world. Most of his knowledge was imparted by Fang Jianguo and the radio.And the memory before this, only a few fragments remain.He'd love to get them back.
Abandoned theater in Nanshi, Dong Rulan, 'Yucheng'...
These memory fragments are crowded together in my mind, but the thread that strings the beads has been missing for a long time.
This is also the reason why Fang Huai chose the previously abandoned theater in Nanshi during the "Light of the Star" talent show before.But that time he failed, until the end, there were still only a few clear pictures.
Until today.
In the morning, Shi Feiran mentioned the name "Lin Shuheng" in "Frost" and mentioned the jade pendant, and when he was writing his essay, he inadvertently wrote down the four words "like cutting like learning, like cutting like grinding".At that moment, a corner of the cloth covering the memory was suddenly lifted.
He understood in an instant why he had an inexplicable affection for the story of "Frost" before.Because the 'Lin Shuheng' in it is probably the person he met when he was a child and whom Fang Jianguo thought about all his life.
What happened before?Who is Lin Shuheng to him?Lin Shuheng...how did he die?
Intuition told Fang Huai that he must see the detailed script of "Frost".
"Sorry, Director Lin, can I read the script?"
Fang Huai ran all the way here, one button of his linen shirt was undone, the tip of his nose was slightly red, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.The assistant director opened the door to let him in, and Fang Huai asked hurriedly before he could even see the situation inside clearly.
After he calmed down a little bit and took a breath, he realized that the atmosphere inside was not quite right.
"...Director Lin?"
This is the first time Guan Li has seen Fang Huai.He had only seen it on videos and variety shows before, but he was slightly startled at this moment, he didn't expect that real Fang Huai really looked like this.In this circle, there is no shortage of good-looking people, but he has been acting for many years, and he can tell who has a particularly photogenic face and who has plasticity at a glance.
Moreover, Fang Huai's talent, which hasn't bloomed yet, is already very clean and handsome.Let him come and see...the peak state will be in a few years, and now it is still a dusty jade, which is already so beautiful.
It's a bit unreasonable for the patriarch to enjoy the meal.
Guan Li quickly calmed down.
He was overwhelmed by anger just now—many established actors dare not take on the role of 'Lin Shuheng', and the new actors are not qualified enough. He just happened to miss the role of being neither embarrassing nor awkward.
Therefore, before the manager patted his chest with him and guaranteed that he would win it, he drew a big cake, but he never expected to be rejected at the last minute, and he said that because he was out of breath.
As for 'Lin Shuheng' why is it difficult to act?First of all, because there is a historical prototype, that prototype is still an important stroke in modern history. A bad actor is especially easy to attract gangsters and scold him.Besides, that archetype...was gay.
Compared with many years ago, the domestic atmosphere has become much more open. Recently, same-sex marriage has been put on the agenda, but in contrast, the entertainment industry is still very tight.
It’s not to say that the subject matter is limited and the films are not arranged, but after the actors have acted, there will be restrictions on the way of the play. It can be said that it is thankless, so it is not easy to find an actor for this role.
Guan Li originally thought that Lin Shengyun had no choice but him, but now that Fang Huai happened to be here... it was a bit intriguing.As he thought about it, his face turned blue involuntarily.
"What do you mean by wanting to read the script?" Lin Shengyun was also a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
Does Fang Huai... want to act?
The possibility began to race through his mind.
"Director Lin."
Guan Li hastily opened his mouth, interrupting his thinking.Guan Li glanced at Fang Huai, with some sarcasm in his eyes, but he just slightly hooked the corner of his lips, and quickly stopped:
"It turns out that you rejected me because you opened the back door to some people long ago and assigned this role by default."
He was really curious about Fang Huai's background. Lin Shengyun, who has always been critical of his own works, first presented the theme song to others, and now even left the supporting role to Fang, who had never acted before. Pregnant?
Fang Huai is indeed good looking, but Guan Li can also tell that he is not suitable for acting.His emotions are reserved and restrained, which is nothing to musicians and singers, but fatal to actors.
Playing an ordinary role is enough, let alone playing Lin Shuheng.
Fang Huai: "...?"
Lin Shengyun's assistant waved to him, asked him to sit next to him, poured him a cup of tea, and Fang Huai thanked him earnestly.
One size fits all, Lin Shengyun said decisively: "No, it's because your acting wasn't good enough and didn't meet my expectations."
Guan Li's face twisted slightly again.But he quickly suppressed that tone and said:
"Then give me another chance."
"Why?" Lin Shengyun looked at him incredulously, and laughed angrily, "Hey, now you don't think "Frost" is hitting the street again?"
"I lost my head just now. Master Lin doesn't remember villains." Guan Li was quite flexible, smirking, and lowered his voice a few degrees. Is Fang Huai the one who can take the lead? Give me a chance, and the salary is negotiable."
This is of course Lin Shengyun's concern, Fang Huai still has such a big fatal flaw after all.
Although he was still angry, he calmed down and thought about it.He glanced at Fang Huai again. The boy was sitting on a chair, quietly turning over a page of the script, the afternoon light cast shadows on his profile.
Lin Shengyun weighed it in his heart, and after a while, he finally compromised, and impatiently threw a new note to Guan Li, saying:
"3 minutes."
Live audition.
It is very fast to turn off and enter the state.The surrounding quieted down a little bit, Fang Huai turned two pages, suddenly realized something, and looked up.
Guan Li moved a stool and sat in the middle. He first lowered his head and leaned over the desk, his eyes lowered as if he was writing something.Guan Li didn't have any expression on his face - his appearance was originally a sunny, cheerful and warm man, but now that he is in the play, he feels separated from his appearance, seeming unkind, even indifferent.
This is the young master 'Lin Shuheng' who was brought up with the most orthodox gentleman's education and had a strict family tradition at the beginning.
I have to say that if you can pass the previous levels, Guanli still has merits.
The assistant director had already nodded, but Lin Shengyun was still noncommittal.
After a while, Guan Li changed his posture.He raised his legs and seemed to hold a 'smoke' in his hands. Everyone knew that this was Lin Shuheng who went astray later.
Lin Shuheng's actions have always been very controversial, and he is not even considered a decent character.His boyhood was indifferent, and later he was absurd, and Guan Li's performance did show this absurdity.
He first looked at the non-existent 'people' on the side of the road and blew a hooligan whistle, and then took a mouthful of the 'marijuana' in his hand with a satisfied expression.He beat people, bullied the weak, and did all sorts of evil.
After another half a minute, Guan Li, who was drooping his head, suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction - obviously there was no one there, but everyone knew that it was 'Lin Shuheng' who heard someone calling him.
Guan Li's eyes were instantly tainted with a strong lust:
"……I am here."
The show is over.
The character of 'Lin Shuheng' is not entirely upright, and it was not until he died for his beliefs at the end and confessed his sincerity that he showed the only brilliance in his life.
Guan Li's performance seems to be right, it does show that kind of indifference and decadence, which is very empathetic, but it seems... something is missing.
Such 'Lin Shuheng' is annoying.
Seeing the eyes of others, Guan Li knew that he had performed well.He couldn't help smiling slightly, and when he passed by Lin Shengyun's seat, he lowered his voice and said again in a deep and suggestive way:
"Director Lin, you might as well go out and have a look. Apart from me, where else can I find a more suitable actor for "Frost". The one who came through the back door? You are crazy, the producers and investors are not crazy, no gave it."
This time, Guan Li did better than last time.
Lin Shengyun didn't answer him.He looked impatient, but remained silent for a moment, turned his head and talked to the assistant director, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Fang Huai's expression.
The boy sat silently on the seat, his eyes hidden in the shadows.He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, watching quietly, until now, his brows were slightly wrinkled.
Lin Shengyun was startled.
Looking at Guan Li's performance just now, he knew in his heart that something was still close, but forced by reality, he almost wanted to compromise.It wasn't until he saw Fang Huai's eyes that he woke up a little bit, his heartbeat stagnated, and then suddenly jumped up.He subconsciously asked:
"Fang Huai, what do you want to say?"
Fang Huai frowned for a moment, and quickly stopped.He looked at Lin Shengyun, remained silent for a moment, and shook his head.
Can't say that, it's too impolite.
Fang Huai couldn't do things that would embarrass others face to face.
"Is the actor confirmed?" Lin Shengyun's assistant whispered from the side, "This is the first time Lin Shuheng's character has appeared on the big screen. Is he set?"
As we all know, the first actor who plays the prototype of a historical figure will often become everyone's "first impression" of this character, which is not unimportant.
From now on, whenever everyone mentions 'Lin Shuheng', the first thing that comes to mind must be Lin Shuheng who has been separated from interpretation and interpretation.
Fang Huai's hands curled up suddenly.
He lowered his eyes, something flickered in his light amber pupils.
The room was quiet for nearly a minute, and no one spoke.
The assistant director waited, then heaved a half-regretty and half-relaxed breath, and said, "Then let's discuss the contract salary—"
The smile on Guan Li's lips became more and more obvious, he was bound to win.
It was at this time.
Lin Shengyun narrowed his eyes suddenly, and interrupted the assistant director:
"and many more."
In the silence, with all eyes on—
Fang Huai stood up.
The young man was tall and thin. He stood in the light and shadow intertwined by the curtains and the afternoon light, and there was something in his light amber eyes.He exhaled softly and said:
"Sorry," he looked at Guan Li, "I think..."
"Lin Shuheng, that's not the case."
The corners of his lips were pursed, and he spoke every word very seriously.
