Actor's Bend

As soon as Pei Shuo returned to the apartment, An Che knocked on the door outside.Pei Shuo opened the door for him. As soon as An Che came in, before he even had time to change his shoes, he stared at Pei Shuo gossipingly.

After getting along during this time, Pei Shuo and An Che got along very well.And it's strange to say, maybe An Che looks cute, Pei Shuo didn't find it annoying to be sized up like that by An Che, but felt that there was nothing to do with him.

"Cough, I fainted during dance practice today, Senior Brother Qi saw me and sent me back."

An Che's dimples were deep in his smile: "I didn't say anything, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of it?"

"I'm afraid you misunderstood." Pei Shuo turned around and poured a glass of water, "Isn't it rumored that the first brother Qi You is crooked?"

Speaking of which, there is an allusion to Qi You being called the No. 1 brother of Xingjiang, not only because of his strength, but also because of the deeper meaning that Qi You, who was ridiculed as "the most crooked and straight man", has a special "0" aura, and is deeply loved by the fans. [-]'s favorite.

"How is that possible?" An Che waved his hand disapprovingly, changed into slippers and walked in, "He is straight at first glance."

"Have you opened your eyes?"

"Tsk, I'm curvy, of course I can tell at a glance..."

Pei Shuo spat out a mouthful of water, coughing again and again while turning to look at An Che who was bewildered.Why can this guy say 'I'm crooked' in such a tone as 'I ate cabbage today'?

An Che was a little puzzled: "Eh? You don't know about it all the time, do you?"

Pei Shuo shook his head very sincerely.

"Okay," An Che shrugged, "Anyway, don't be crooked, the point is that Qi You must be straight. But if you want to bend him, maybe..."

Pei Shuo hurriedly interrupted: "You want to break, but I'm straighter than him."

Pei Shuo was very firm when he said this. After all, in his previous life, he suffered so badly because he was labeled as a 'gay actor'.

An Che laughed and said: "Hey, don't get excited, I'm just saying, after all, Qi You's face can kill both men and women."

Pei Shuo was puzzled: "According to what you said, how could such a straightforward person like Qi You be passed on..."

The sound of An Che's computer starting up interrupted Pei Shuo. He called Pei Shuo over, and while skillfully opening the E drive to search for files, he explained in a serious manner: "Because the official couple of 'Youmin' are Qi You and Cheng Min, Miracle was able to become the number one boy group in Asia before, this pair of official partners must have put a lot of effort into it."

Pei Shuo knew what the so-called official match was all about, it was usually a feeling created by the company for the sake of popularity, but this pair of official match...

An Che randomly clicked on a fan-made clip. Under the pink atmosphere of the BGM, every interaction between Qi You and Cheng Min seemed to become ambiguous. The god-synchronized expressions that appeared from time to time on variety shows, and Qi You's solo at the concert Shi and Cheng Min's close-fitting dance, the two people's smiles while running barefoot on the beach in the MV... really can make people think about it.

But this alone is not enough to make so many people suspect that Qi You is crooked, right?

As if seeing Pei Shuo's doubts, An Che explained: "These are just lace, the most important thing is Qi You himself! It turns out that when Miracle was interviewed, Qi You basically kept the same words as Cheng Min, and he was on the show. I didn’t like to look at the camera when I was young, I always looked at Cheng Min, hey, there are many similar ones.”

Pei Shuo frowned, did Qi You sell rot on purpose?Impossible, looking at Qi You's appearance, it is not necessary to gain popularity in this way.

"They have such a good relationship, it's no wonder others think too much."

"Yeah, my cousin liked them like crazy at the time. Before Qi You made a firm statement that she was going to leave Miracle, my aunt told me that her eyes were swollen from crying."

Pei Shuo couldn't help laughing: "How sad that must be."

"I'm also very sad!" An Che had an expression of 'I don't want to look back on the past', "I can't bear to listen to the "OnJourney" that the five of Miracle posted together at the end!"

Pei Shuo was speechless, was she exaggerating?He remembered that Miracle debuted at the same time as himself in his previous life, that is, 3 and a half years ago.He used to only know that Miracle was very popular, but did he really have such a high popularity?

"By the way," Pei Shuo seemed to be remembering something, "Qi You seems to hate getting involved with men... Then he didn't deliberately avoid suspicion when he was in Miracle?"

An Che was thoughtful: "Yes, I heard about it after I joined the company, but it seems that it started after the news that he was leaving Miracle."

When Pei Shuo heard this, his mind suddenly became a little big. Emma might have hated her because of love.

"Oh, and more!" An Che smacked his forehead, "Have you seen "Heart of the Machine" starring Qi You and Cheng Min? This movie is called a science fiction movie, but in fact it's just a shitty movie. Youmin's CP drama! Two people in it can't be more gay!"

Pei Shuo shook his head: "I've heard it before, didn't Qi You win the best newcomer because of this?"

"Yes, yes, yes," An Che nodded as he quickly dug out the movie from the cabinet, "Collector's Edition! Let's watch it together?"

Pei Shuo sat down on the sofa, glanced at the enthusiastic An Che, and said vigilantly, "If you dare to spoil the story, break up the relationship."

During this period of time, Pei Shuo has learned from several blood lessons that An Che is the legendary death star without spoilers.

"..." So An Che silently swallowed the synopsis that was already on his lips.

After the LOGO produced by Xingjiang Entertainment flashed, the movie kicked off.

Under the low background music, four iron-gray blocks slowly appeared on the screen. Accompanied by the sound of rattling when the machine was running, gears appeared on the side of the iron-gray blocks. After a few seconds, the rusty The four large characters of "Mechanical Heart" stuck in the center.

Pei Shuo suddenly felt his heart was oppressed by something.

Director Ren Tianyu's work, starring Qi You and Cheng Min appeared, and the film officially started.

Before he could react, the picture changed suddenly, a warm birthday song sounded, and a delicate cake with five candles appeared in the camera, followed by a little boy making a wish to the candles, muttering words.

"I want a good friend who will always play with me!"

The candles were blown out, and the warm yellow lights were turned on. Everyone wished him a happy birthday, and the little boy's parents walked over from the other side. The father held a gift box that was as tall as a person.

"Happy Xiao Ye's day, Mom and Dad are usually busy, so I can't accompany Xiao Ye, I'm really sorry. However, we have chosen a great gift for Xiao Ye this year!"

The little boy named Xiao Ye rushed forward excitedly. With the help of his father, he tore off the wrapping paper of the gift box with a few swipes. Then his eyes widened and he looked at the box in disbelief.

The camera moves up from the bottom of the transparent box, first a pair of feet wearing white sneakers, then the slender legs wrapped in jeans, then the upper body, then the beautifully shaped collarbone and jaw, and finally a calm Sleeping face, moist lips slightly parted, there is a faint mole on the right side of the upper lip.

Needless to say, Qi You is of course the person who plays the captivating Sleeping Beauty.

An Che couldn't hold back at the side: "Tsk tsk, when I went to the cinema to watch this episode, there was a sound of gasping around, you said how crazy the director is..."

Pei Shuo nodded, thinking that this passage is simply a box office guarantee.

"Do you like it? This robot is the latest. He is very smart and looks exactly like us. From now on, Ono can play with him." Ono's father fondly rubbed his head.

Ono nodded excitedly, lifted the lid of the box, and lightly pressed the start switch on the back of the robot's hand.

The robot moved with a well-articulated hand, and then gently took Ono's hand back.

Ono let out an 'eh' in surprise, and the handsome face of the robot was reflected in the dark pupils. At first, he was expressionless and blank, and then gradually burst into his first natural smile.

Ono named the robot Asen, and he was inseparable from him every day. When he took Asen out to play, other children around would cast envious eyes on Ono.

But within a few years, the robot was updated again, and Asen was no longer the latest and smartest robot.One day, when another child led his robot to compete with Ono's Asen, Asen lost. Asen's movement speed and memory speed were not as fast as that of the latest robot.

Ono, who lost the game, was ridiculed by other children, and Ono, who was wronged, took all his anger on A Sen.

"Why are you so useless!" The boy who had already attended elementary school pointed at A Sen angrily.

The camera gave a close-up of the face, and Asen, played by Qi You, was still expressionless, but his long black eyelashes were quietly drooping, and after a while, he uttered an sorry in a low voice.

——Obviously a flat tone and expression, but Qi You's performance made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

The boy didn't buy it, and said unrelentingly: "If you lose again, I will throw you away! Do you know how bad you are? You have to work hard to catch up with Fatty's robot!"

Ash nodded obediently as usual.

Ono returned home and quickly forgot about the incident.However, at night, the boy couldn't find Asen in the house. Lightning flashed outside the window, followed by a torrential rain. The boy was very scared, shouting 'Asen Asen', and then slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Ono woke up in Asen's arms.Ono asked Asen where he went last night.

"Going to practice," Asen replied softly, "Sorry, I ran all night, but I still can't speed up. The next race may disappoint Ono."

Ono waved his hand pretending to be mature: "Forget it, I won't really throw you away. You are a robot, you will always look the same, no matter how much you practice, it will be useless."

Asen didn't speak, as if he was thinking about the meaning of this sentence.

"Hey, let's go play tennis!" Ono grabbed his little racket and dragged Asen to the sunny yard.

And when the camera cuts again, there is still a scene of grabbing a tennis racket with one hand, but that person has become the grown-up Ono played by Cheng Min.

And Asen, who played tennis with Ono, was still the same as many years ago, with jet-black hair, beautiful eyes, tall and thin body wearing the same suit.

A heavy blow knocked out the racket in Asen's hand. Asen was stunned for a few seconds, then trotted over to pick it up, and repositioned himself.Unexpectedly, Ono threw the pat impatiently, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Hey, Mom? Can you replace me with a robot? Asen is already an antique. Hey, there is no need to buy the latest one. Buy one that has the ability to learn and imitate. Asen will remember it when it leaves the factory. Are the ones stored in the card okay, and its memory card is also aging, and I don’t remember many of the original ones... The new ones are not very expensive, so you have to give me one for my coming-of-age gift... "

Ono complained to himself, when Asen came over, he lowered his head and wanted to wipe the boy's sweat as usual, but the boy 'slapped' his hand open.

No matter how highly simulated robot expressions are, Asen is no exception.Qi You obviously did this when playing this role, the facial expression has never been too ups and downs, always indifferent.

Even so, when Asen's hand was opened by Ono, Qi You's expression was clearly calm, but Pei Shuo's heart twitched in that lost and bewildered look.

And this feeling of being severely pulled at the heart continued until the end of the film.

When Ono's mother disagreed with buying the latest robot for Ono, Ono yelled at Asen angrily: "Are you satisfied! I can only stay with you, a scumbag!"

Asen seemed not to have heard Ono's scolding, and showed a standard smile, which made Ono even more angry. He picked up the dictionary on the table and threw it at it, shouting: "You don't have any emotions at all! Then you still laugh Shit!"

"I have," Asen retorted Ono for the first time, looking at him very seriously, "I'm very... um, happy."

"Hey, you don't even have a heart. You only have machines and databases in your body." Ono smiled instead. "I'm going to be crazy if I stay with you any longer. What can I say to something?"

Asen didn't speak any more, walked out of the room and went to the basement.

In the dark basement, Asen sat quietly by himself.After a while, he skillfully opened the control area on his arm and clicked on the memory bank.

He closed his eyes, and the clips of getting along with Ono played quickly in Asen's mind, frame by scene, his company throughout Ono's entire growing up.

Then, in the last scene, it was Ono's disdainful words.

"You don't even have a heart. There are only machines and databases in your body. What can you say to a thing?"

Asen spoke, his voice was as calm as usual, but it suddenly squeezed the hearts of the audience.

This is his only monologue in the entire film.

"I...have no heart? But, I am really happy to be by Ono's side."

After a moment of silence, the light gradually dimmed.

The next morning, the sun was shining.

Ono was soundly asleep when he was suddenly awakened by his mother's exclamation.He walked out of the room impatiently, and was surprised to see Asen slumped on the stairs, the parts of his body were scattered, and some wires were leaking out.

"I didn't do this!" Ono cried innocently.

Mom gave Xiao Ye a blank look: "Who else is it if it's not you! You're too ignorant, can't you tell mom if you want to get a new one? How do you deal with it like this?"

Ono jumped downstairs in a few steps, stepped over Asen's body, and put his arms around his mother's shoulders: "It's really not me, hey, since it's already like this, why don't you buy me a new one, don't take this away again Xiu, I don’t want to refurbish the goods. I’ll clean it up later, can’t I?”…”

The voices of the mother and son gradually faded away, the breeze blew through the curtains, the larks were singing happily outside the window, and the background music played by the harp was crisp and bright.

Accompanied by the clear ding-dong sound of the soundtrack, the camera gradually moved down, slowly sweeping across Asen who was lying on his back on the stairs, and finally fixed on his pale fingers.

A broken chip lay quietly in Asen's palm. The broken edge was obviously man-made, like a child's clumsy handicraft.Look closely, that... seems to be in the shape of a heart.

But before anyone saw it clearly, the chip shattered, and the powder formed the words 'End of the show' on the screen, and then dispersed with a clatter, leaving nothing behind.
