if love was a play

The casting day was a sunny day.Although it was still winter, and the outdoor temperature was only about 10 degrees, the warm sun shone on my body, but it felt like spring flowers were blooming in a trance.

The location is a large conference room on a certain floor of Moge Company.

I opened the door of the meeting room tremblingly, thinking that it was the first time I participated in such an audition.Generally speaking, screenwriters don't get too involved in filming and production, and at most they go to the set on time to visit the crew.What's more, I'm only a fledgling junior, and I haven't even had many opportunities to visit classes in the past two years.

It was still early, and Brother Mo was the only one in the conference room. He looked up at me and smiled slightly, "It's early, just find a seat and sit casually, Teacher Su."

I shuddered all over. The word "teacher" sounds awkward no matter how you hear it.

I smiled at him dryly, "Brother Mo, don't tease me, I just wrote one episode."

"It's great! It's beyond my expectation, boy, I can't see that your emotional drama can be written so delicately." He walked over and hooked my shoulder.

I can only continue to laugh awkwardly.

While they were chatting, the door opened, and a man in a well-fitting suit and fine features walked in.He glanced at us, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and walked towards me.

Brother Mo beside him greeted him very familiarly, "Hey, Xiaoyu, you came early."

The man glanced at Brother Mo, and nodded his head as a greeting.Then he continued to shift his gaze to me.He stared at me, I stared at him, I always felt that this face was very familiar.

The man in front of him raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand: "Xuanyu, the person in charge of the promotion of this project."

Xuan... Yu...?My mind entered the search mode, and I froze on a very charming smiling face, and instantly widened my eyes, staring straight at him.

He laughed out loud, the corners of his mouth widened, and the memory instantly brought me back to that night, the night that I always thought was a dream.

That day, after we finished our work, we lay flat on the bed.He sat up, put a kiss on my eyes, and said softly: "Ruoshui, Ruoshui, as the name suggests." Then he put on his clothes and said goodbye.

I just realized that this seems to be my home.And the meaning of that inexplicable sentence is still unknown.

Brother Mo poked me who was stunned, and smiled apologetically at Xuanyu: "This is the screenwriter this time, Su Ruoshui." Then he gently leaned into my ear, "Ruoshui, this is our screenwriter." The son of the group director." And he pinched me secretly, which brought me back to my senses.Jiahe Film and Television Company is indeed the parent company of Brother Mo's small company, no wonder the name looked familiar at that time.

"Su Ruoshui, hello." I held his hand, but looked away.

Brother Mo was on the sidelines warming up the scene, "I heard that the promotion of this time was handed over to the superiors, but I didn't expect you to supervise it yourself, ha ha."

Hehe, listening to their conversation, my mind is completely blank. If there is a hole now, I will drill down without hesitation.

While we were chatting, the people in the conference room had almost arrived. After sitting down in a row, Xuanyu whispered in my ear: "Did you go there that day to find inspiration for your creation?"

I'm not used to this close distance, so I dodged a little and nodded silently.

He bent his eyes and smiled. He didn't know why he smiled, but he felt that the hand under the table was being held and then let go.I looked at him sideways, still not quite understanding.

The audition lasted for a whole day, and all kinds of actors came during the day, some of them could recite their lines smoothly, some of them had good acting skills, some of them were so nervous that they bit a sentence ten times, and some of them were expressionless as if Robots in general.

"This time it's just an online drama, and it's a danmei theme. It's a big risk, and many actors don't take it very seriously." Brother Mo and I explained during the break, no wonder, we spend a lot of time waiting, Not one person came for a long time, I thought there should be many people coming to the filming of this kind of web drama.

"What? Is there anyone you like?" Brother Mo asked.

I thought about it, so far, although some acting skills are really good, and the attitude is also very good, but no one has the feeling of "it's him".Especially Concubine Yang, ah no, Zixi's candidate is always missing something.If it’s not too flattering or too youthful, we need to combine these two points... I took a sneak peek at Xuanyu next to me, Nima’s side profile is so pretty, and the outline of the facial features is as beautiful as in a clip art, he’s not interested Be an actor?As if aware of my gaze, Xuanyu turned his head, smiled at me, and immediately thought of the phrase "Six Palaces of Fendai have no color".

After waiting for a while, the agent brought in a clean young man, his face was not modified much, his skin was very good, rosy in the white.Small in stature, she looks a bit slender and beautiful.In order to match this era, he came wearing a white long gown. As soon as he entered the door, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, looking like an ancient time traveler.He bowed to us, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the corners of his red phoenix eyes curled up, which was quite sexy.

"My name is Fei Shiqi, Fei from Philadelphia, Time Shi, and other Qi. I am 23 years old, and I am currently studying for a master's degree in the School of Drama. My dream is to become an excellent actor, like Chen Daoming..." A jerky self-introduction was Let our row show a special caring smile, and all of us cast warm eyes on him.

After the introduction, he grinned again, "The role I'm applying for this time is Gu Zixi."

Son, you don't need to say, we also recognize you, okay?

In the end, under the unanimous vote of the whole audience, this time-consuming classmate became the actor of Gu Zixi without any dispute.The actor who played the role of the emperor spent a little money and hired Zhong Xinzhi, a celebrity who is a little popular at the moment. This young man is full of various scandals, but the public foundation is very deep. I heard that this time the boss of the group will do it himself. Tell him over.

After the other actors were also confirmed one after another, finally on Monday, a month later, the filming officially started.

It stands to reason that it has nothing to do with the screenwriter after it is turned on.After the book is handed in, the director will change the composition into shots, and then formulate camera positions, sets, lighting, etc. These are all things for professionals.However, Brother Mo would often ask me to go to the studio, saying that more communication with the actors will have a positive impact on the future of the book. I can see the real state of the actors and hear their voices, so I can adjust the lines appropriately the design of.I think what Brother Mo said is also very reasonable. After all, this is a good learning opportunity, so every Friday has become my regular class visit day.

And for some reason, every time I go there, that kid Gu Zixi will come running over, holding a book that is almost rotten, and asking me this and that, for example, "Zixi has read a lot of poetry and books, what books have he read?" What about books?" "Zixi said that he didn't want to be a prostitute, so why did he agree to be the emperor's prostitute?" "Why did Zixi agree to leave when he clearly wanted to stay by the emperor's side? Isn't he lonely?" "Zixi Do you like the emperor or not?" and so on and so on.

Many times I just want to reply to him, "If you want to know this, you will find out in the next chapter", but every time his eyes look over, he will see me as very guilty, how can he be willing to deceive such a studious classmate?So I could only explain to him slowly, and recommended some reading materials to him.After that, apart from seeing him holding a notebook on the set, there were all kinds of books I brought him.Many times I want to reach out and touch his head. This cute look is really cute.

After finishing work on a certain Friday, he ran to me again, "Brother Ruoshui, I have a very serious question for you."

I met his clear eyes, softened my heart, and smiled at him kindly, "What's the matter?"

"What's it like to kiss a man?"

At that moment, the water that just entered the mouth was almost sprayed out.

He opened the book carefully, pointed to a paragraph and said to me: "Here, Zixi raised his head and kissed the emperor, then lowered his head and smiled happily. I... don't quite understand."

I was stunned, haven't you filmed a kiss scene until now?

"Brother Ruoshui, can we try it?" He took my hand and brought my whole face closer.Startled, I took two steps back.It's weird... This kid is four or five years younger than me, he is about the same height as me, thin and weak, but he is not weak.

Fei Shiqi was obviously dissatisfied with my avoidance behavior, he looked at me very seriously, "Brother Ruoshui?"

I had no choice but to chuckle, "Tip, I think this, you can go to the emperor to practice, after all, you are the ones who play together."

He thought for a while, and said: "Although I also think so, but Brother Zhong disappears every time he finishes work, and he can't be caught."

==|||Dare I be a substitute?

"Brother Ruoshui~" He approached me two steps coquettishly, with this sincere face, I... can't refuse.I cursed NMB rudely in my heart, and let the child stick his lips to mine very unprincipled.But a child is a child after all, so he would be satisfied with just a little bit of water.After letting go, he tilted his head and pondered carefully, and murmured: "This...can be considered happiness?"

I couldn't help but smiled wryly, and raised his shoulders, "Tip, I think, the point is not about kissing, but who is the object. Zixi is only thinking about His Majesty, so he is willing to use the closest way to express his love." mood, and His Majesty therefore tacitly accepted it, and only then will there be a sense of happiness. What you and I did just now, is just like this, I put my hand on your shoulder, do you feel it?" Time-consuming and honest Shaking my head, I smiled, "So, if you want to practice, just find a girl you like and practice."

He lowered his eyes, pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head, and that sentence almost choked me to death again.

"Then shall we try to have a relationship?"

I said... how come your thinking is exactly the same as the stupid thing I did when I received this script back then.Brother, I don't want to see my juniors stumble on the road I have traveled.

I tried to support my head with my hand, and shook it slightly.

He only heard him say: "Brother Ruoshui, don't you want to?"

How should I tell him.

"Just during the shooting period, okay?" He put that face in front of me again, looking at me pitifully, Nima...Soft heart is really my fatal problem.

"Then... for a limited time." I really wanted to cut my own tongue.

He immediately smiled and hugged me up, but I just wanted to cry without tears.

One day, I received a strange call, but it was answered with a familiar voice.

"What? Forgot about me so soon?" Xuanyu...

He asked me to go to the headquarters of Jiahe Film and Television Company, which is in a high-rise building in the city center with two floors.

As soon as he entered the meeting room, he spread a stack of materials in front of me, and said leisurely: "The book you are writing, we are planning to make a simple promotional video, and we need to write a series of words. It’s best for the original screenwriter, okay?”

? ? ?I was a little stunned, just for such a small matter, he called me over?

I nodded silently, this job is naturally duty-bound, after all, it is what I wrote.

"Great." He smiled.

"It's a small matter, just talk to me on the phone." I muttered softly.

He looked over with deep meaning, and he saw me a little vain. "I just want to see you."

? ? ?This reason cannot be refuted.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and an employee came in, and said: "Manager Xuan, the director is looking for you, please go back quickly."

Xuan Yu's face darkened, and he waved the employee away.Before the employee left, he gave me a meaningful look, which made me shiver.

I said at the right time: "Then you are busy, I will go first."

He suddenly grabbed my hand, "Are you free tonight?"

Countless implications of this sentence flashed through my mind, and my heart beat faster and faster.Brother, are you serious?Shouldn't that be the end of a one night stand?

I didn't answer his question, but just patted his hand lightly, his expression was not very good from the beginning, the director... is his father, right?

"Are you okay?" I asked softly.

He smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile, "I'll go find you tonight."

I said "hmm" and left.

"On a quiet night, there are only dots of stars in the sky, and mottled tree shadows in the yard. Gu Zixi's heart was so cold that he looked up at the bright moon. It should be this round of bright moon above the palace garden. According to the person he thinks in his heart at this time. Only when he leaves can he know what loneliness is, and only then can he know what liking is..."

The hour hand of the desk clock moved towards twelve, and the doorbell rang suddenly.

I opened the door, and the person outside the door smelled of alcohol and his face was flushed, probably because he had drunk too much.

He raised those eyes, smiled, and threw himself on me.

I helped him into the room, put him on the bed, poured a glass of water, and took a towel to wipe the sweat off his head and cool off his alcohol.Not thinking about it, he sat up, hugged me from behind, put his head on my shoulder, and directed the smell of alcohol at my nose.I just wanted to let go of his hand, but I only heard him whisper in my ear: "Xin, don't let me go..."

Xin?who?

I pressed his hand around my waist and whispered softly: "You are drunk, go to bed early."

Unexpectedly, he lost his temper, broke my body, and pressed his wine-smelling lips to mine. I was almost so smoked that I pushed him away. This is probably because I admire myself It is so gentle and calm anytime, anywhere.

He thought he was drunk and had no energy, so he became tired after a while and fell down by himself.

I stretched out my hand and touched his face, it was hot, and suddenly I felt compassion, it was not normal in the conference room today, what happened?

I straightened him up on the bed, took off his coat, and covered him with a quilt.I still sat in front of the computer and began to code the unfinished words just now.

Freelance screenwriters have always worked day and night.The hour hand passed round and round, and I don't know how many times it turned. I rubbed my eyes, ran to the bathroom and flushed cold water, and my mind instantly cleared up.He patted his face and walked back to the bedroom.

Yoyo's voice reached my ears, and it was actually apologetic: "I've bothered you."

The person on the bed has already woken up, and it seems that most of the alcohol has dissipated.

I sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Indescribable."

Although I have a heart of gossip, I, Su Ruoshui, would not do such meaningless things as prying into other people's privacy, so I smiled gently at him, saying that the Lord didn't mean to pry into you.

He bent his pretty eyes, but he began to confess: "An old lover, married, that's all."

old lover? "man?"

He looked at me with a knowing look on his face.

Of course, I also realized the idiocy of this question, pouted and prevaricated: "What are you looking at? Can't normal people confirm it?"

"Ho~" was the onomatopoeia I read from his face, I looked away, only to hear a nice laugh coming from my ear.Then his face was hooked, but the eyes he met were so serious.

"You look a lot like him." He said slowly.

Is this why he came to me that day?

"I'm sorry..." He suddenly smiled apologetically, "I was a little surprised that day, so I... lost my composure."

I smiled awkwardly, "Forget about it that day..."

But he heard a firm voice: "No."

No?What does he want?Continue to come to me for comfort from your ex-boyfriend?What do you think of me?

I stood up, sat on my chair, looked at him, "what else?"

His expression was suddenly extremely lonely, just like the miserable beauty in the painting.I couldn't help cursing again in my heart, why the hell does a man have to be so beautiful?As soon as my heart softened, I sat back on the side of the bed, raised my hand, and touched his face.Wet, I saw two lines of tears falling from his eyes, I couldn't help but gasped, and pulled him into my arms without holding back.

I felt the heaving and falling of the chest of the man in my arms, sobbing violently, and gently stroked his head, like coaxing a child.Excuse me for my lack of experience, this is the first time I have seen a man who cried so much over a broken relationship.Not to mention those who cry so pear blossoms and rain can lift people's hearts together, it is rare in the world.Thinking about it, whether the object is a man or a woman doesn't seem to matter that much. After all, there is only one love.

☆, Song of Life and Death Parting Act II (case)

It was said that Gu Zixi was sent abroad, but the emperor was reluctant to let him go to a far away place to suffer and suffer, so he found a relatively peaceful place in a nearby county and sent him to be the governor of Yizhou.

Yizhou is a large state with a pleasant climate and suitable for living. Its population ranks among the top five in the country, and its annual tribute within a few years is the first among several continents.The local officials are also experienced. With their assistance, Gu Zixi's official career in the past few years is bound to be safe and smooth. In a few years, he can be used to govern Yizhou for a few years. This is the emperor's little thought.

However, the sky does not follow people's wishes. This year, Yizhou encountered the first catastrophe in history, the plague of locusts.A plague of locusts is a deadly disaster in an agricultural society.The land where a group of locusts passed was barren of grass and no crops. This year, everyone can only wait to drink the northwest wind.In the afternoon of this day, the air pressure was low, and some sensitive animals nestled in their nests without even poking their heads.The sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind passed by my ears, and there was a buzzing sound. I saw a large mass of things flying over from the end of the sky, passing by the fields with lightning speed. Turned yellow.

When the news was reported to the Governor's Mansion, Gu Zixi's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he heard.Mr. Cai, the chief clerk standing aside, reminded him, "Master Gu, hurry up and call everyone to think of a countermeasure."

Gu Zixi just nodded, and summoned everyone, and everyone chatted away.Some people say that the plague of locusts is a natural disaster, and it is because someone went against the sky that they suffered such disasters. What they said was nothing more than an allusion to the fact that the emperor sent a mere male prostitute to rule a state or county.

A person stood up from the hall and said, "Master Gu, I think the plan for now is to make preparations for catching and killing locusts. The locust plague just started, not all the fields have been affected, and there is still time to take measures. Besides, the insects are not extinct. It is bound to spread to the whole country, and then it will not be a problem of my Yizhou, but a problem of the whole country, if the emperor blames it, it will be a big deal."

Gu Zixi was silent, thinking about the reason behind his words.

But immediately a voice came out and cursed: "Are you going against the sky?"

The man threw a sentence in the direction of the scolding: "Master Nading, do you mean that the common people in the whole country should eat dirt?"

Master Ding faltered: "I didn't... I just said... as long as the emperor is willing to recall..." His voice became softer, and his eyes glanced at Gu Zixi who was sitting in the front seat.

The man didn't give in at all, he still cupped his hands and said to Zixi: "My lord, please make a decision as soon as possible, this matter is imminent."

Gu Zixi nodded and said, "Okay, according to what Master Gao said, order the whole prefecture to prepare for killing locusts. I will go to the fields myself."

"My lord is wise." The lord surnamed Gao cupped his hands and smiled.

Gao Huan was actually a small guard chief in the state. He came from a family of military officers. He was strong and good at martial arts. According to his skills, he could go to the capital to find a good job and lead troops to fight for the glory of the country.But he has a problem, that is, he is not self-motivated, and the words he often talks about are that to be happy in life is to be happy, and to be drunk today.It turns out that the work in the state is like lukewarm water, which makes people feel unmotivated, but a while ago the emperor sent a young governor to take over here.At the first glance at the governor, this tall man was completely hooked. It was the first time in his life that he saw such a beauty.As free and easy as he is, he doesn't care whether the other party is a man or a woman, and the love of beauty has nothing to do with men and women.

The sentence "I would like to go with my lord" made Gao Huan walk beside Gu Zixi with peace of mind.

"Master Gao has a good strategy for controlling locusts?" Zixi looked sideways at the man who was half a head taller than him, with a handsome and handsome face.

"The locusts will fight the fire. We only need to set up a bonfire next to the field at night, and dig a big hole next to the bonfire, and then we can lead them all into the hole and bury them. There will be no harm from then on."

Zixi smiled lightly and said, "A good idea. Mr. Gao is very knowledgeable, and Zixi admires it."

Those soft words tickled Gao Huan's heart, and he had the urge to pull the man beside him into his arms and scratch him twice.Now, though, restraint...restraint...

He coughed twice, pretending to be calm: "Master Gu has praised you. I am a martial artist. If you let me play with words, I will not be as good as an adult. To tell you the truth, I have been naughty since I was a child, and I like to climb trees in the woods to catch Worm, it’s not surprising that you know more about these little bugs than you.” He smiled with a crooked mouth, “It’s Mr. Gu who can make such a decision, which I admire very much.”

Zixi rolled his eyes, and a blush came to his face, "That was Master Gao's ingenious suggestion, I just went with the wind. Also, if you want, you can call Zixi from now on, Master Gu, listen Score."

At this time, Gao Huan seemed to have thousands of peach blossoms blooming in his heart. He tried his best not to laugh too much, "Then...you're welcome, Zixi..." But he was still a little shy when he called out, "You too Call me Brother Huan."

"Brother Huan." The people around him smiled at him, as if they had folded all the blessings of their life.What do you want to do all your life at this moment?

Gu Zixi and Gao Huan came to a field, organized local farmers to help build a bonfire, and dug a hole on the side.Gu Zixi grew up in the palace, and he cared about it every day, and he didn't take exercise, so he didn't have much energy, so he only helped everyone in a symbolic way and served tea.The villagers all liked this good-looking and unassuming parent officer very much, and they kept sighing that if they could meet such a good officer, the locust plague would be nothing.

But the sigh is the sigh, and we still have to take it seriously when we control the locusts.That night, as Gao Huan said, a group of locusts rushed towards the fire.Gu Zixi had never seen such a scene before, when the darkness was overwhelming, he stayed where he was, but fortunately Gao Huan pulled him away, otherwise he would have been eaten by locusts at this time.And Gao Huan, who took the opportunity to get rich, hugged the beauty in his arms with a satisfied face and refused to let go.

"Brother Huan?" The beauty in his arms blinked at him with a dazed expression.

Gao Huan, who could no longer restrain her inner impulse, lowered her head and covered his lips.

Gu Zixi froze in place as if being shocked by an electric shock.After a long time, he realized something, and wanted to push the person in front of him away, but helplessly, the opponent's strength was above his own, his head was pressed tightly, and the opponent tentatively inserted his tongue into his mouth, touching He pressed the tip of his tongue, and immediately became entangled with himself like a raging wave.Gu Zixi felt that it was difficult for him to breathe, so he pushed the other side harder, and only then did the other side let him go.He stroked his chest, but saw the man standing awkwardly beside him, faltering: "Zixi, I like you."

Gu Zixi was startled.Like, what is like?For no reason, he thought of the man in the palace garden in the capital, the man who had slept with him since he was a child.He was ignorant at the time, but slowly it became a habit.He doesn't hate that man, and even has some attachments. Is this called liking?

"I'm sorry..." Gu Zixi's voice was very low, and he lowered his eyes, not daring to look at that person's expression.He thought of the countless times the emperor asked himself "Do you like me?" At that time, although he was silent, he didn't dare to look up at the other person's expression.Not being able to respond is also a feeling of guilt.

In the quiet night, there are only stars in the sky and mottled tree shadows in the yard.Gu Zixi's heart was so cold, he raised his head to look at the bright moon, it should be this round of bright moon above the palace garden, according to the person he was thinking of at this moment.Only when you leave, do you know what loneliness is, and what love is...
