Showbiz Prejudice

That day Zhao Jinglan sat for a while and then left, and I never saw him visit the class again.Cheng Anyi saw the news of his visit to the class on various websites. This time, it was basically equivalent to personally verifying the relationship with him. The media rushed to report, and Weibo even made headlines for several days.The comments on Weibo were full of blessings, and Cheng Anyi looked at the comments that said good match, male talent and female appearance, etc., and remembered what Su Yingying said to him that day.He thought, in this circle, what is true and what is false?

Soon the play is drawing to a close.The heroine Su Yingying left after filming. Before she left, she asked Cheng An whether she would like to be a full-time assistant with her. Cheng Anyi refused, and she didn't continue to mention it. She just reported her phone number to Him, tell him that he can find her in the future if he needs anything.Cheng Anyi nodded, and saved the number in his address book, and never looked it up again.

When the filming was finished, the assistant director paid him a salary and a bonus of 1000 yuan. Cheng Anyi took the money to pay various utility bills, then went to the mall to buy a pair of headphones for Cheng Chen, and sent the rest of the money home. He gave it to his parents. He has been in the entertainment industry for so long, but he has not earned a penny, and he has not been able to take care of his parents at home. He really feels that he is not filial, so he can only send as much money as possible.

In the next few months, he started to play various tricks, and occasionally acted as a stand-in actor. One day, he suddenly received a call from Su Yingying after work. He was a little surprised. Suddenly he had time to talk to him, he answered the phone, and heard the other party say on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Cheng, how are you doing?"

"It's okay. How about you, Miss Su?"

"It's okay." Su Yingying responded briefly, and then said quickly: "I won't be polite to you, try to keep it simple. I have a new play in hand recently, and I want to choose the male lead, but it's not the same as before. It is not in the form of an audition, but in the form of a reality talent show, which will be broadcast on TV at that time, are you interested?"

"Sister Su, can I ask what kind of play it is?"

"The begonias are blooming."

Hearing Su Yingying finish these four words, Cheng Anyi felt his scalp explode. Begonia Blossoms is a masterpiece of the famous screenwriter Qin Qing. Let alone the male lead, even if he only plays a small role in this play, it is something that he dare not even think about.Although he wasn't sure if he could win this opportunity, it would be good to try his luck. Thinking of this, he readily agreed.Su Yingying told him some details about the program on the phone. Cheng Anyi probably knew that this program was held in the form of a competition. It was divided into auditions, preliminary rounds, preliminaries and finals. From the audition onwards, the whole process would be broadcast on TV. Simultaneous live broadcast.The form of the audition is to let the contestants choose a plot of a classic TV series or movie, and then perform it. The judges will decide whether you can enter the preliminary test based on your performance.In the end, Su Yingying told him to quickly think about the plot to be performed in the audition, and hung up the phone.

A few days later, Su Yingying called again: "Xiao Cheng, have you figured out what you're going to do?"

"Think about it."

"Which one?"

"peach."

"Peachy?" Su Yingying's tone was a bit surprised: "Is it Zhao Jinglan's famous work?"

Peach Color is a movie that Zhao Jinglan made when he first debuted, and it is also the only movie he has made since his debut.The film tells the story between Li Jian, who was famous for painting peach blossoms, and his most proud student Shen Yue during the Republic of China.The name of the film is intriguing, and the emotional development of the two in the story is also very intriguing.The relationship between the two of them gradually evolved from a master-student relationship at the beginning to a more secret and profound relationship, but they were discovered by the outside world unexpectedly. It could no longer be sold, and Shen Yue couldn't bear the pressure from the outside world to study abroad.At the end of the story, Li Jian planted a peach tree in the yard. Cheng Anyi will never forget the look of Zhao Jinglan waiting under the peach tree full of peach blossoms in the camera at that time, and he will never forget his thin side face and affectionate eyes. He waited obsessively for his lover, but that person never came back, leaving him standing alone in the yard, watching the flowers bloom and fade.

Cheng Anyi fell in love with him at that moment, and later he watched many TV dramas by Zhao Jinglan one after another. Every character was played very well, but there was no character like Li Jian that made him so unforgettable.

Zhao Jinglan won awards at various film festivals with this film, became famous overnight, and was in the limelight for a while, but soon after he was exposed to a same-sex scandal with the director of the film, this scandal troubled him for a long time, until he filmed a It was only after a hit TV series that he got rid of this topic. After that, he filmed many TV series one after another, and quickly secured his position as the No. [-] brother in the TV industry and became a first-line star in the entertainment circle, but he never made a movie again.

So there was no reason for Cheng Anyi to choose peachy color, because it was the only possibility.

"Are you ready to play that part?"

Su Yingying's words interrupted his thoughts, he nodded and replied seriously: "Thought it out."

He briefly told Su Yingying about the part of the plot that he was going to act in, and after the other party listened to him, he called him a few words about acting skills, and then hung up the phone.

The next day, Su Yingying sent someone to send some clothes, saying that they were for him to wear on the show. He was a little flattered, and didn't understand why the other party gave him such preferential treatment because he was just a little-known character, but he didn't think about it. , After calling Su Yingying to thank her, she concentrated on preparing for the scene to be acted in.A few days later, he received a call from the program group asking him to come to the TV station for rehearsal and audition.

He chose the scene in the movie where Shen Yue bid farewell to Li Jian after preparing to study abroad.The program team arranged for him a professional actor to play against each other. The two of them took the notebook and did a few simple checks. They quickly tried it out, and the rehearsal effect was also good.This rehearsal gave Cheng Anyi some confidence. He felt relieved and at the same time looked forward to the audition coming soon.

The day of the audition is coming soon.Although it was just an audition, it was held in a grand manner, with a professional host, a huge stage, and dazzling lights. It was not so much an audition as it was a very professional TV program. Cheng Anyi watched the dense darkness not far away. The sitting audience was unavoidably a little nervous.

Go back to the locker room to change clothes, and recite my lines again, it will be my turn soon.The staff came over, handed him the microphone, and asked him, "Are you ready?"

He nodded: "Ready."

"Well, it's okay to act as we agreed, right?"

"No problem." He nodded. At this moment, his attention was completely on the stage. The host over there had announced the end of the performance of the previous contestant. It was his turn next. When he heard the host read his name, He took a deep breath and walked towards the center of the stage.

The props have been set up, he walked to the center of the stage, the lights came on, and the actor who played opposite him was sitting in front of the window sill, and there was a bouquet of peach blossoms in the bottle on the desk.

This scene was restored very realistically, and for a moment, he almost seemed to be back in that movie.He looked at Li Jian who was sitting in front of the window sill looking at the peach blossom, and walked forward anxiously, "Master."

Li Jian was still looking at the bunch of peach blossoms, but didn't look at him, and didn't reply, the air was filled with strange silence.

He couldn't help but took a few steps forward, and said those two words again with a sore throat: "Master."

Li Jian still didn't look back, he fiddled with the bunch of peach blossoms, looking careless, then he spoke in a very soft tone: "This master's call is really heartwarming, but unfortunately, from today onwards, I will never hear it again."

His tone was extremely frivolous, as if he was talking about an ordinary and interesting thing, but Cheng Anyi felt heartbroken when he heard it. He wobbled forward a few steps, walked up to Li Jian, and knelt down with a plop: "Master , I’m leaving tomorrow, today is the last time I’ll see you, I hope you can take good care of yourself, even if I’m not here... even if..." He said, heartache came from his heart again and again, and he never Unable to continue, he was obviously the one who left cruelly, but at this moment, like an abandoned child, he lowered his head helplessly and began to cry bitterly.

"Good apprentice, what are you doing?" Li Jian turned around, gently stroked his head, his eyes were full of love and compassion: "Study abroad is such a good thing, you should be happy."

"I'm sorry! Master, I'm sorry! It's the disciple who is not filial..." Cheng Anyi hugged Li Jian's leg tightly, buried his head deeply in his warm embrace, and burst into tears. Li Jian hugged him back forcefully, and called out softly His name: "Xiao Yue."

As he said that, he took out all the peach branches from the vase, and slowly stroked its withered petals: "You gave me this flower that day, and I said no to it, but you insisted on picking it. If it withers, it is better to leave it on the tree."

As he spoke, he tore off the peach blossoms petal by petal. The petals brushed past Cheng Anyi's body and slowly fell to the ground. His voice also fell from above like petals, light and light, like a sigh. He heard him say :"Go ahead."

Hearing these words, Cheng Anyi couldn't control his tears anymore. This scene was the most heartbreaking part of the movie. Whenever he saw Zhao Jinglan tearing up the petals in despair, and the petals fell like rain, he would cry bitterly.He didn't understand why Shen Yue was so cruel, why Li Jian didn't keep him, why...the person he liked so much couldn't have happiness.

He continued to be in such an extremely uncomfortable mood that he even forgot that he was still acting at the moment. The other party patted his arm and reminded him in a low voice, and then he reacted.Trying to control his emotions, he uttered the next line tremblingly: "No, Master, I won't leave...I won't leave you..."

After speaking, wait for the other party to pick up.According to the following plot, it should be Li Jian who persuaded Shen Yue to go abroad, and Shen Yue finally left cruelly after struggling for a few times, leaving only Li Jiankong facing the room full of peach blossoms, and the scene ended.According to the current situation, his overall performance is not bad. He thought that this time he could pass the audition, and waited for the other party to say the next line with confidence, but he heard the other party say: "You go, the outside market is more suitable for you. .”

When Cheng Anyi heard this sentence, he was a little puzzled. The lines seemed not quite right. He remembered that it was not the line he said in the scene.Did he remember wrongly?He thought so, and continued to act hesitantly: "Master, do you really want me to go?"

"Yeah, I can't delay you." This line was fine, Cheng Anyi thought to himself, it really was the other party's misremembering?Just when he felt relieved, the next line of the other party shocked him instantly: "After all, you are a qualified actor."

What?actor?Cheng Anyi wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. The Shen Yue he played was obviously a painter, how did he become an actor in the other party's mouth?During the rehearsal yesterday, it was obvious that it was a painter, why did it suddenly become an actor today? What is going on with this group performance!

Cheng Anyi was very angry that the other party had made such a major mistake, and he was still so ignorant. He really wanted to ask the other party what was going on, but at the moment, he was on the stage, with a crowd of spectators underneath, and this was a competition. It is impossible to repeat a wrong sentence, so he had to bite the bullet and continue acting: "Only Master thinks I am qualified."

"How come? I have been a director for so many years, and you are the only actor who makes my eyes shine. The audience will definitely feel the same way. I believe in my vision."

director?audience?Cheng Anyi listened to the other party's inexplicable lines, a vague thought gradually surfaced, and before he could think it through clearly, the other party continued to say the next line like a cannonball.

"Now that my scandal with you has affected your stardom, I also feel deeply sorry. For the sake of our future, why don't we get together and break up, and don't contact us anymore."

Hearing this long passage, Cheng Anyi felt chills all over his body. Even if he was stupid, he should understand at this moment what the other party was really playing.The other party is not playing Li Jian in the movie, but the director outside the movie, and he is not Li Jian's disciple Shen Yue, but Zhao Jinglan himself!

The other party is using a peachy plot to insinuate Zhao Jinglan and the director's scandal that has long been forgotten!But why did the other party do this?Even modifying the script and lines without authorization, what is his purpose?Is it to prevent myself from passing this audition?What kind of holiday did he have with himself?

Just thinking wildly like this, he managed to finish the second half of the performance. At the end, the audience was silent.He looked at the questioning gazes from the audience, feeling inexplicably ashamed.

Next came the time for the judges to comment. Unanimously praised, everyone gave him a pass and praised him for being innovative. He walked off the stage in a daze and went back to the dressing room to change his clothes. His mind was still muddled.In a trance, the shadow of the group performer just now appeared in the dressing room. He quickly jumped up from the ground, rushed up, and squeezed the other party's wrist fiercely: "What's going on? Why are you acting like this today?!"

The other party seemed to be frightened by him, and looked at him in surprise, with a look of hesitation: "Didn't we all agree in advance?"

"What do you mean?"

"That's the play. I temporarily changed my script yesterday. Sister Su didn't tell you?"

The other party's expression and tone were so innocent that Cheng Anyi believed that what he said was true, he let go of the other party's wrist helplessly, and sat back on the floor of the dressing room decadently, quickly recounting everything that happened today in his mind. After going through it again, he remembered what the staff asked him today, "Is there any problem?" "Just act as we agreed?" He remembered the group speech: "Didn't Sister Su tell you?" "The script was temporarily changed yesterday. "

In an instant, everything seemed to be clear.

Then he picked up his cell phone and called Su Yingying.

The other party connected quickly, and asked him with concern how he was doing today, but the familiar and friendly tone seemed extremely ironic to him at this moment, Cheng Anyi interrupted her question: "Sister Su, why did you do this? "

There was silence for a second, as if thinking about how to answer.A few seconds later, Cheng Anyi heard Su Yingying say apologetically: "Xiao Cheng, I was at fault for not notifying you in advance. But please trust me, okay?"

"Believe you, believe you use me??"

It seemed that the reply was very difficult: "Xiao Cheng, you also know that the show needs to be popular, and this popular point is on you now, and it is definitely beneficial to you and harmless. In the entertainment industry, people Everyone needs a topic, otherwise it will be difficult to become popular."

"So you're sacrificing me?" Cheng Anyi's tone became agitated, with uncontrollable anger in his tone: "For the sake of the so-called hot spot, you don't hesitate to use other people's privacy to hype it up?"

She froze for a moment, as if she didn't expect her reaction to be so intense, she paused, and then asked, "Do you mind?"

"Yes."

"why?"

Because... you made me hurt the person I least want to hurt.Thinking so desperately, he closed his eyes, and then said his final decision to the microphone: "Sister Su, I'm sorry, I won't participate in this show again."

There was no conversation over there. After a long time, the other party's faint voice came from the microphone: "Are you also planning to never contact me again?"

"Yes." Cheng Anyi replied affirmatively, at this moment he no longer wanted to hide it.

"Okay, goodbye. Xiao Cheng, take care."

"Goodbye." Cheng Anyi hung up the phone powerlessly, but still felt chills all over his body. After being in the entertainment industry for so long, he should have understood that no one in this world would treat you well for no reason. He thought Su Yingying was different Yes, but I didn't expect that she, like those people in the entertainment industry, would do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, indifferent and realistic.Turning on the phone, several fans on the Internet have already commented angrily, "Disgusting! Hype other people's privacy!" I looked at it twice and didn't dare to look again.He turned off his phone in despair and threw it in his pocket.

At this time, on the other side of the city, on the TV of the hotel, Cheng Anyi's face was appearing on the screen.The man sitting on the sofa watched the TV quietly. When the person on the TV said: "You are a qualified actor." Before, at that time, he was young and ignorant of the world, that person taught him what acting was, and also what emotion was. Later, he said to him, let's go, you are a very qualified actor, I can't delay you.

So he left and never looked back.

"Brother Zhao?" The assistant's voice came, he woke up from his thoughts, and glanced at the TV in a blink of an eye. The young actor on the TV was crying sadly. Expression: "Hype, people nowadays really have no lower limit."

Zhao Jinglan raised his head and continued to look at the TV. The young man was still crying, and his tears seemed to have never stopped since the beginning. Zhao Jinglan couldn't help frowning, and turned to tell his assistant:

"Change the channel."
