Be careful

It seems expected that Populus signed with Xinghe, but also surprising.

Therefore, when Fei Yiming, a good friend of Poplar's circle, called to congratulate him, he was still in a dream, not quite used to it.

"You can do it!" Fei Yiming bluffed, "No wonder you turned against Daming when you told him to turn against him. It turned out that he had already found a next home."

Pu Li didn't want Fei Yiming to misunderstand, but he didn't bother to explain, otherwise he would have to explain Mu Chi's love for his fans again, and he felt very blushed.

"It's so lucky, I didn't expect it myself." Pu Li smiled innocently.

"Come on, stop being humble," Fei Yiming gave advice with a smirk, "This time, you have to pay attention to the new company, keep your eyes open and listen to all directions, and don't be stabbed in the back again. I don’t even know it’s bleeding.”

Pu Li smiled: "Okay, there are so many things."

"Hmph," Fei Yiming made no secret of his envy and jealousy after his faithful words, "Oh, why did you say you have such a good life? I was spotted by Sister Li around the same time as you, and up to now I still play some male three male four character of."

"Aren't you already cooperating with the national treasure director Meng Jianming in "Heavenly Love", aren't you satisfied?" Pope tried to comfort.

"Satisfaction," Fei Yiming said indignantly, "It's a fart to show your face in a big production. I don't want to rush to insert a kitchen knife in a new drama now!"

"Insert a kitchen knife?" Poplar was amused.

"Isn't that right? Recently, I received a costume film, playing a coquettish, charming and scheming national teacher. Not long after he appeared on the stage, he was hacked with a kitchen knife..." Fei Yiming laughed as he spoke, and then changed the topic. , suddenly became serious, "Hey, I heard that Zhong Xinyang is the one who signed Xinghe with you this time?"

"Zhong Xinyang?" Pu Li felt that the name sounded familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Tsk, you don't remember," Fei Yiming reminded him, "The boy who played the second male lead in "Heavenly Love" is the one who evolved!"

Populus half-closed his eyes and recalled the video.In the film, the male second is a high school student who was abandoned by his parents since he was a child, and later adopted by an old man with a withdrawn personality. When he grew up, he suffered from mental illness due to extreme low self-esteem, and was finally treated tenderly by the psychiatrist.

Objectively speaking, Pope feels that in the film, the actor interprets the role very well, grasps the psychological state very accurately, and empathizes with him.

Then, Pu Li remembered the chair that was sandwiched between Fei Yiming and him at the celebration party of "Heavenly Love".The boy's name tag seems to be stuck on the back of the chair.

"Oh, I remembered a little bit, what's wrong with him?" Pu Li asked.

Fei Yiming sneered and sighed again and again: "Hey, I'll tell you anything now, just take me for bragging..."

Poplar: "..."

"That role was originally mine, but he took it away later."

"Huh?" Pu Li didn't quite believe it, because in the finished film, Fei Yiming's interpretation of another character is also very good. Although it is a small character who played for less than 3 minutes, it is definitely impressive.However, that character is a sunny and simple college student, which is completely different from Zhong Xinyang's second male lead.

Pu Li couldn't imagine what the effect would be if the carefree Fei Yiming played the role of Zhong Xinyang.

"The key is not being robbed by him," Fei Yiming continued, seeing that there was no response from Pu Li, "the key is that do you know how he robbed it?"

"How did you snatch it?"

"Hehe," Fei Yiming smiled contemptuously, "That 'bed crawler'!"

"What?" Pu Li could actually hear it clearly, but Fei Yiming was still shocked when the word came out of Fei Yiming's mouth.

"I heard that he has that kind of relationship with a number one or number two person in the production company," Fei Yiming drew his tone, "Anyway, I'm just reminding you, pay attention to him. I heard that Xinghe and the big director Andrew's cooperation is about to be settled, they recently signed a lot of newcomers for self-production and sales, this is an opportunity for you, don't be fooled by others for no reason."

After hanging up the phone, Pu Yue still felt that piercing "bed crawler" lingering in his ears.

That's what some people called Populus after the breakup of MAXIMUM.

Although he didn't know whether Zhong Xinyang was the real name of those three words, but they were called the same name, which made Populus feel some pity invisibly.

Populus turned on the computer, and entered the words "actor Zhong Xinyang" in the search bar.

After a while, Zhong Xinyang's personal information popped up.He is only 21 years old. He just graduated from the Film Academy this year. He has a professional background and looks fair and fresh.

As the page moved down, Zhong Xinyang's photos kept appearing.There are life photos, still photos, and street photos.

Zhong Xinyang gives people the feeling of indifference and introversion. No matter what the scene is, there is a kind of alienation and loneliness in his eyes immersed in his own world.This is similar to the feeling of the character he played in the movie "Heavenly Love".

Populus read one by one, and his eyes stayed on the cover that Zhong Xinyang took for a certain magazine.

In the photo, Zhong Xinyang's three-quarter profile was facing the sunny sea of ​​flowers.His gaze is far away, his eyes are gently closed, and a bright frangipani flower is pinned to his ear.

What a boy who is shrouded in sunshine but still can't be happy, thought Pope.

Populus stared at this photo for a long time, and finally, he was attracted by the boy's ears with flowers.

These ears are really special, small and cute, the auricles are pink and tender as if they can see through the sunlight, and there are two small moles on them that are not conspicuous but absolutely cannot be ignored.

Populus took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

He remembered the embarrassing scene he encountered in the bathroom not long ago, on the day he went to Galaxy Entertainment to sign a contract.

That thin boy who quickly ran away from behind the puff oak covering half of his cheek?

Poplar tried to recall again.

After a while, he opened his eyes, staring at the photos on the page for a long time as if to verify his guess.

In the end, he was almost sure that the boy who had appeared in the bathroom, the boy who had had sex with others in the parry, was this Zhong Xinyang.

Populus was uneasy because he accidentally knew other people's secrets, and then comforted himself not to think too much.After all, they have no work relationship, the Galaxy is so big, there are so many artists, and everyone is so busy, maybe there will be very few opportunities to meet each other in the future.

However, Xinghe's training program for newcomers plunged Populus into an embarrassment and uneasiness that is difficult for others to understand.

It turns out that Xinghe has had a long-term cooperation project with the Academy of Film since the old president Mu Wanrong.

The original intention of this project is to invest in Galaxy and the Academy of Film to jointly train newcomers with excellent morals, talents and looks.

Although Populus has been in the circle for several years, he has zero experience in film and television performances.Therefore, in order to better adapt to the "strategic plan" designated for him by the company, this kind of training is very necessary.

He is diligent and conscientious, leaving early and returning late, only hoping to live up to the company... To be clear, it is Mr. Mu's favor and expectation.

On that day, Pu Li still went to the South Building of the Film Academy to attend performance training.

In the practice room, apart from Wang Hao, the instructor who used to yell at each other when he didn't like it, and Meng Yu, who was always lying on the desk in the corner typing away at the computer, there was also a tall and thin figure in a white shirt.

Populus walked into the practice room, the electric fan was blowing, the boy's white shirt was blown up by the cold wind from the neckline, and the outline of the body could be seen vaguely.

"Hello."

The trees around the south building are shaded, and the indoor light is not very good. Even in the daytime, the lights need to be turned on.

The white light poured down from the top, making the boy's facial features look delicate and three-dimensional.

He just stretched out his right hand like a long-lost friend, smiling brightly at Populus.

Populus was surprised, and it took him a long time to react, his face was a little stiff, and he stretched out his hand to shake the person opposite him woodenly.

He didn't expect that Zhong Xinyang in reality didn't look like the one in the movie or in the photo at all.

He looked very sunny and warm, as if standing side by side with him would quickly warm him up.

In the end, they met again, and when Pu Li came back to his senses, he smiled awkwardly.

"Practice with him more," Wang Hao said to Pu Li, "this is my most proud disciple."

Zhong Xinyang was praised face-to-face by the teacher, grinned embarrassedly, called Populus aside, and whispered to him: "It's great to see you, my sister likes MAXIMUM very much, our house is full of your posters."

Poplar smiled and scratched his hair: "MAXIMUM no longer exists."

"Well, I'm sorry," Zhong Xinyang's expression remained unchanged, "Anyway, it's a surprise to see you in person."

"Me too..." Populus was unknowingly infected by Zhong Xinyang's emotions, "It's...unexpected."

From that day on, Zhong Xinyang would come to the practice room from time to time, sometimes chatting with Wang Hao about scripts, and sometimes sharing lines with Poplar.

When Wang Hao was lecturing to Pu Li, Zhong Xinyang was watching seriously.He doesn't talk much, and always keeps smiling. He is not a person who brings laughter wherever he goes. He just makes people feel friendly and warm. No matter who it is, as long as he makes eye contact, he will quickly understand what the other person wants. what is it.

Populus observed Zhong Xinyang, he knew that Zhong Xinyang was also paying attention to him all the time.

They are only two years apart, and when they sit together occasionally, they will talk about topics that boys of this age care about like a pair of normal friends.

Music, film, poetry, games, sports...

Although when Pope faced him, he would inevitably think of the secret things that happened in the bathroom from time to time, but before he knew it, he had to admit that he and Zhong Xinyang had gradually become familiar with each other.

They added each other's WeChat to share what they were interested in when they met each other; they had lunch together during training, and Meng Yu, who dreamed of becoming a screenwriter, ate all over the food street at the back door of the Film Academy; In the surrounded theater, the students rehearsed in a chaotic manner...

After a month of acting training classes, in a trance, Populus felt that they had become the closest friends to each other.

"Chestnut," Zhong Xinyang has already started to call Pu Li Weifan his nickname, "I heard you are good at swimming?"

Populus nodded with a smile: "That's right, I grew up by the sea, of course I can play in water."

"Then you can teach me, okay? The script I read recently is about playing a swimmer, but I don't know how to do it at all." Zhong Xinyang blinked at Poplar, and stars seemed to twinkle in his big and bright eyes.
