Confession

"Brother Yang."

After work, Xing Xing stopped Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang was packing up his things, putting the script and water glasses in his bag. The recordings on the table were rather messy, so he sorted them out one by one according to the plot line.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yang raised his eyes and glanced at Xing Xing, showing a smile, his handsome and three-dimensional outline was deep and gentle, and there was a bit of ruffian in his calmness.

Xing Xing went over to help him tidy up, and offered an olive branch of invitation, "Shall we have dinner together tonight? A new restaurant opened on Maohe Road, and the online reviews are pretty good."

"Not today." Jiang Yang neatly put away his things, put away his bag, zipped it up, and walked to the door, "I'm going to move in the next few days, I don't have time, sorry."

Xing Xing chased him, "When do you have time? I can do it."

Jiang Yang paused when he pulled the door open, and he closed the door again.

He turned around with a smile on his lips, "Xing Xing, I don't have much time recently."

"..." Xing Xing looked at the smile in Jiang Yang's eyes, but felt a clear sense of distance, "Brother Yang, I don't mean anything else, you recommended me the drama "Chess Pieces" in front of Liangda. I have the opportunity to dub, and I am still the protagonist. I just... simply thank you."

Jiang Yang leaned against the door, with one leg slightly bent, "It's your own ability to win this role, and I'm of little use. And you thanked me before, so you don't need to take it to heart. I just entered the industry not long ago , don't treat me like a big boss, how wronged am I when others say that I take credit for myself?"

Xing Xing pursed his lips, struggling between "Do you want to fight for it again" and "Let's forget it".

"Liangda attaches great importance to the play "Chess Pieces". I have read the original work and like it very much. I also want to do my best to record this play well," Jiang Yang seems to be chatting, but in fact he is on the point, "At present My job at the radio station still needs to be finished, and I just said that I am moving recently, and I have a lot of chores, so I don’t have much energy to go out and play.”

Xing Xing opened his mouth, and Jiang Yang added before he could speak, "I don't want to fall in love either."

"..." Xing Xing twitched the corners of his mouth, smiling bitterly, "Brother Yang, I thought you wouldn't pierce this layer of paper with your temperament."

At least it can save him a little bit of decency.

Jiang Yang smiled, showing his white teeth, "Then you should know me better now, I never do things sloppily, especially when it comes to emotional matters."

As he spoke, he opened the door. A Liang raised his hand, as if he was about to knock on the door.

Jiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "Liang Da."

A Liang glanced at Jiang Yang with a calm expression, and then at Xing Xing who was a little bit aggrieved, "I think the lights in the recording studio are still on, so come and have a look."

"I'm leaving," Jiang Yang came out and waved to them, "See you tomorrow."

A Liang's dubbing studio is a rented one-story office building. When Jiang Yang was waiting for the elevator, A Liang also walked over with his bag on his back, and the two stood side by side.

A Liang said, "It's the first time to participate in this kind of meeting today, isn't it a bit uncomfortable?"

Thinking of the enthusiasm of the girls, Jiang Yang said with a wry smile: "It's okay, um... I'll get used to it as soon as possible."

A Liang patted him on the shoulder, "You have worked hard today. I took you here to continue working after attending the meeting. I took you there to let fans know you as soon as possible. The show "Twilight" is your debut work." , and the current results are very good. Although the voice actors speak with their voices, it is a plus for them to be handsome. Judging from their reactions of being fascinated by you, the effect is good."

"Don't work hard, serve the people." Jiang Yang boasted without shame.

"Virtue." A Liang scolded with a smile, and then got back to business, "The outside world has very high expectations for the drama "Chess Pieces", and the original book has a particularly high flow rate. If possible, I would like to invite Xu Tian to personally edit "Chess Pieces" "The script. You and Xing Xing are the protagonists of this drama, chat with him more, it will be helpful for the future work."

The original author acts as the screenwriter, and it is very common to change his own work. Due to certain policies and the influence of the public, some outrageous plots in the original work cannot be shown, and need to be changed or replaced with other things.

"Chess Pieces" is a scheming novel, the main line and the branch line are intricate, and the whole body is involved. The change of one link will seriously affect the development of the subsequent story. If it is not improved, the focus will be different, and it will gradually deviate from the original work.The audience of the radio drama is all readers of the original work, and a little carelessness will arouse the public indignation and disgust of the readers.

That's what Xiaowen meant when she said that the new screenwriter was no good.

The screenwriter only thought about going through the review, ignoring the integrity and logic of the story. If it was recorded according to the adaptation, it would definitely be scolded and the studio's reputation would be ruined.

"Ding——" the elevator arrived, the closed door slowly opened, and the two walked in.

Jiang Yang pressed the number 1, smiling unabated, "Okay, follow the boss's instructions."

Seeing his disapproving attitude, Ah Liang was silent for a moment, and said: "Jiang Yang, you are very talented, and your voice is a rare treasure in our circle. I decided to poach you when I accidentally heard your program on the radio. Entering the industry. Although we practiced Tai Chi for more than half a year before you came with me, the facts have proved that your decision and mine are correct, and you have also found your comfort zone, haven't you?"

Jiang Yang looked at A Liang, his smile faded away, and there was a bit of sharpness in his calm eyes, "What do you want to say?"

"Life and work cannot be confused." A Liang pointed out.

Jiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "Are you eavesdropping?"

A Liang smiled, "I don't know the content of your conversation just now, but now that you say it like this, I know."

Jiang Yang made a nasal sound with unknown meaning.

"As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows of the soul, and the most intuitive way to express any emotion is the eyes." A Liang said seriously, "Especially the longing eyes, which cannot be hidden."

When the elevator arrived, Jiang Yang stepped out and said with a smile: "Liang Da, you should write novels, you are so polite."

"To be serious, you've been in the industry not long ago, and you're paired with danmei works, as well as intimate scenes. It's very common to have a relationship because of a drama, but..."

"I'm quite serious." Jiang Yang interrupted him, spun his feet, and walked backwards facing A Liang. The tall and handsome young man looked sunny and energetic, "Don't worry, I have clearly told Xing Xing , I have no plans to fall in love."

A Liang: "It's not that I won't let you talk, just..."

"Liangda, you are so long-winded." Jiang Yang complained.

"..."

"I'll go first." Jiang Yang swept a shared bicycle on the side of the road, straddled his long legs, and matched his backpack with a bicycle. The campus atmosphere came to his face, which was pleasing to the eye, "Don't worry, boss. I will be an obedient Nice staff."

A Liang watched Jiang Yang's leaving figure, and smiled helplessly.

One month is not long or short, Lin Xu lived a life of autism and reversed day and night, and the days passed by unknowingly in the process of typing and rushing to draft.

Lin Xu is a proper nerd. Walking the dog is the only reason to go out. In the past, his childhood friend often asked him out. Since college, he refused nine times out of ten.

Speaking of which, Lin Xu is very busy.

He writes full-time. In addition to the serialized novels that need to be updated, there are also many published physical manuscripts that need to be revised, revised twice, and other script work that he has taken over.

Basically sitting in front of the computer with eyes open, only the sound of Lele occasionally playing with toys in the huge house, and the rest is the sound of constantly typing on the keyboard.

Over the years, his personality has become more and more silent. Writing is not only a job for him, but also a channel to vent his emotions. Words convey his inner world, and past experiences are mixed into true and false stories. Tell others about your life.

The person in front of the computer wore glasses and was typing on the keyboard expressionlessly. Next to him were messy takeaway boxes, leftover snacks, three or four cigarette cases, and half a bottle of red wine. Down some empty beer cans.

He typed the last full stop, typed "full text" at the end of the article, and after spending another half an hour checking and revising the article, he clicked the send button.

The three-month story came to an end today. Lin Xu heaved a long sigh, took off his glasses and pressed the center of his brows, feeling relieved.

The story came to a successful conclusion, and all the grievances, love and hatred had their due ending, but Lin Xu was not very happy, and there was a trace of emptiness and loneliness in this relaxation.

He scrolled the mouse button, just a few minutes, the comments grew like a tide, everyone was celebrating the completion of the protagonists, looking forward to Xu Tianda's next book, but Lin Xu knew that he was far away from that person again Some.

For so many years, Lin Xu has written many stories. The shadow of that person is scattered on each protagonist, and his emotions are also invested in it. Every vigorous love is substituted by himself.

Because of this, his feelings are being consumed, and the feeling of falling in love at first sight and being moved when he hears it is about to dissipate, and he can hardly remember the appearance of that person.

In my memory, the other party loves to laugh, approachable, easy-going and handsome, no matter who he faces, he will have a just right smile, and the vitality on his body is the taste of sunshine.

The warm light will not burn people, but will attract others to approach.

If I remember correctly, that person was the school grass of their class. He likes to eat sour and likes to play basketball. He majored in broadcasting and hosting. No one's voice can match him. Campus radio was contracted by him.

Time smoothed out Lin Xu's not-so-sharp edges, and the man's smiling face was gradually submerged in the endless stream of words.

Lin Xu could only guard the "cliches" in the audio, guarding the only warmth in his heart.

The notification tone of WeChat interrupted Lin Xu's free time.

Many authors and editors sent messages to congratulate the end, he looked at it casually, there were too many messages, and there was no need to reply.When I was about to close it, another message was sent. The order of the dialog box was arranged according to the time it was received, and the message "Chess Pieces Radio Drama Planning" was the first.

Lin Xu's long-term unhealthy life made his memory not very good, and he vaguely remembered that the planner came to him to make an appointment for dinner.

He manipulated the mouse and clicked on the dialog box.

[Chess Pieces radio play planner: Teacher Xu Tian, ​​congratulations on the end! [Scattering Flowers][Celebration][Happy]]

[Qizi Radio Drama Planner: I made an appointment with you for dinner tonight half a month ago, do you still remember?Celebrating the launch of the radio drama tomorrow, today is a good time to celebrate the end of your new article together! 】

【Chess Pieces Radio Drama Planning: [Positioning]】

Lin Xu recalled it for a few seconds, remembered that it was true, and typed a reply:

【XU: What time? 】

[Qizi radio drama plan: 32:[-] p.m., fifth floor, box [-] [cute]]

[XU: [OK/]]

Lin Xu usually wouldn't refuse this kind of business dinner, and he also knew that he didn't socialize too much. If he hadn't raised Lele, he would have stayed at home alone without talking.

There is no benefit in being too autistic, and he knows this very well. Having meals with cooperative companies and communicating with editors are one of the few social activities in his monotonous life.

Lin Xu sat in front of the computer for more than ten hours, stood up and stretched his muscles, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and changed his clothes.

As before, he didn't spend too much time on dressing. He wore a simple white T-shirt with black pants, and took out his yellowed white canvas shoes.

Lele stood behind him, thinking she was going out to play, wagging her tail excitedly, and stood up to jump at him.

Lin Xu squatted down, fed it a large piece of dried meat, stroked its head, "I want to go out, you stay at home obediently."

Lele licked his mouth.

Lin Xu held its face and forced it to look into its eyes, "If I come back and find out that you made a mistake, don't go out to play for a week."

Lele stuck out her tongue at him, looking like she was smiling, but she didn't know if she understood.

Lin Xu knew that it could understand, and went out under its watching eyes.

The restaurant is located not far from his home, 10 minutes by taxi, when he arrived, he saw Ah Liang chatting with a girl standing at the door of the box.

In the radio dramas adapted from several of his novels, Shou is played by A Liang. They have added WeChat friends a long time ago, but they don't talk often.

A Liang saw Lin Xu at a glance, and greeted with a smile, "Hi, Writer Lin, long time no see."

Lin Xu slightly bent the corner of his mouth, "Liang Da."

"This is the planning of the "Chess Pieces" radio drama, Xiaowen," A Liang introduced the two, "Xiaowen, this is Xutian, his surname is Lin."

Xiaowen looked at the thin and deserted man in front of her, and shook hands politely, "Hello, Teacher Lin."

"Hello." Lin Xu shook hands with her briefly and then separated.

A Liang led Lin Xu into the private room, "Have you listened to the first episode of "Chess Pieces"? The two main CVs this time are both newcomers, their strength is not weak, and their voices are very suitable for the setting in the play. Will definitely be satisfied."

Lin Xu: "It doesn't matter whether I am satisfied or not, what matters is the readers..."

The first time he entered the room, he saw a man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and looking down at his mobile phone. His handsome face made his gaze fixed, and his voice stopped abruptly.

The memories that have been dusted by time immediately become alive the moment they see each other, and those insignificant and short-term intersections in the past flashed through the mind like a movie, with incomparable clarity.

When I heard the heartbeat, the feeling of goodbye and love bloomed gorgeous flowers on the devastated heart.

Hearing the movement at the door, Jiang Yang raised his head, met Lin Xu's eyes, looked at the somewhat familiar face, after a short thought, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and stood up with Xing Xing beside him to meet him .

"These two are the main protagonists of "Chess Pieces", Jiang Yang and Xing Xing. The newcomers in my studio are very capable." A Liang introduced enthusiastically, "This is Xu Tian, ​​and "Chess Pieces" was written by him. The original works of several radio dramas in our studio are his novels, and he is a very good author."

Xing Xing bowed slightly, and greeted respectfully: "Mr. Xutian, hello."

Lin Xu looked at the person in front of him, his heart was beating fast, his palms were moist, and he even had difficulty breathing. At this moment, his mind went blank, and the other person's dark pupils were like black holes in the universe, sucking his soul and mind.

"Hello senior." The metallic voice that appeared in Lin Xu's ears every day entered his eardrums, and he heard the other party say, "Long time no see."
