Confession

Jiang Yang's words made Lin Xu feel a little embarrassed, as if his hidden thoughts were seen through at a glance, his cheeks were a little hot, and he calmly looked back at his scrutinizing eyes, and smiled without changing his face.

It was only then that A Liang noticed Lin Xu's attire. It was the first time he had seen Lin Xu look so glamorous in the years he had known him, "Do you have a date today?"

"No." Lin Xu replied calmly, holding the bag tightly with his hand, trying not to look at the person next to him.

A Liang led the man into the lounge, "I thought you were going to meet a girl in such a beautiful dress, we Lin Da writers have never cared about appearance, we can always wear pajamas to readers' meetings, have you changed your temper now?"

On the walls on both sides of the corridor are posters of radio dramas produced by the studio, all of which are popular novels on the Internet today, three or four of which are Lin Xu's novels, the poster of "Chess Pieces" is on the first one, and the names of the two main protagonists' CVs are big. written on it, flush with the name "Xu Tian".

Lin Xu's attention fell on the poster, seeing the names of "Xu Tian" and "Jiang Yang" approaching each other up and down, the corners of his mouth curved undetectably, with a bit of secret pleasure.

"Pajamas?" Jiang Yang was quite surprised, and said with a smile: "I can't tell, you are so...do whatever you want."

A Liang opened the door of the lounge, "He is notoriously uninhibited. He never cares about his appearance or his readers. He doesn't even care about the outside world's evaluation of him, he is as happy as he is."

"Based on your fame, you can be regarded as half a public figure. It is amazing that you can completely ignore the opinions of the outside world." Jiang Yang praised sincerely, "Senior, you are still as good as ever."

Lin Xu opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to explain stuck in his mouth.

He really wants to say that this is not the case, that he is not outstanding, and it is not that he does not care about the comments and opinions of the outside world.

Instead, he sucks and cares as hell.

He is no longer the Lin Xu who was in college. He is full of wounds, his pride and self-confidence have been smoothed by time. Under the skin, there is a broken body, and the wounds dare not see the sun. , only dared to hide in the dark and lick/lick the festering wound.

Lin Xu has seen a lot of admiring eyes. At the autograph signing, the readers all looked at him like this. He has long been immune to this kind of attentive expectation.

But Jiang Yang's smile was warm and handsome, and his eyes were dark and bright. I don't know if it was Lin Xu's illusion, but he felt that Jiang Yang looked at him longingly and tenderly.

Lin Xu has long been unable to distinguish people's hearts, but he can feel the warmth in this gaze.

He has liked Jiang Yang for five years, even though he was attracted by his voice at first, and then he was amazed by his appearance; even after so many years, the throbbing he once had gradually faded away.

But when Lin Xu saw Jiang Yang again, he realized that liking someone can really become a subconscious habit.

Jiang Yang's voice is a kind of drug to him, like an addict, he needs to listen to Jiang Yang's audio to survive.

——It was the thing that kept his life alive, and it was the only light when he fell into the abyss.

The feeling of heartbeat has not disappeared, every time Jiang Yang and him looked at each other and smiled, it strengthened the vibration of the heart, which was the fatal attraction to Lin Xu.

He enjoys the praise of his crush, which satisfies his vanity.

It doesn't matter what others think of him, the important thing is to make Jiang Yang have a perfect impression of him.

Lin Xu pursed his lips, and returned a faint smile, "You too."

The lounge is spacious and bright, with a set of large black sofas in the middle. A Liang stayed with Lin Xu for a while, and after Xiaowen came back from buying water, he left with Jiang Yang to continue working.

Lin Xu communicated with the director and Xiaowen about the script in the break room. They discussed some large-scale and controversial plots together, and Lin Xu talked about the core of the revision for the second half.

According to the current script progress, "Chess Pieces" should have six seasons. The production of each season of the radio drama needs to consume a lot of time, and there is no way to achieve continuity between each season.

If there are too many seasons, it will consume the enthusiasm of readers, which is not good for the data. After all, most of the traffic of Dangai radio dramas needs the support of readers.

The director voiced this concern to see if he could delete some plots.

"I don't think it is necessary." Xiaowen expressed her opinion first, "I have read the original "Chess Pieces". Mr. Lin has already deleted some unimportant plots. It is already very compact. There is no need to continue to delete in order to shorten the number of seasons. And As far as the current script is concerned, Mr. Lin has combined the main plot line with emotion very well, and if I change it again, it will give me a feeling of incoherence."

Lin Xu looked at the computer screen, scrolled the mouse wheel, and remained silent.

Xiaowen took a big sip of water, and continued: "We have also done works with five or six seasons before, in fact, as long as the work is good enough, you don't have to worry about the number of seasons, right?"

Director: "Because you only consider the readers of the original work, as the producer, we should think more comprehensively. The audience of radio dramas should not be limited to readers, but also the feelings of passers-by. This is the same as when you watch a drama. The second season only aired in half a year, do you still remember the content of the first season?"

Xiaowen: "..."

Director: "There are many seasons, and the time interval between releases is long. If you are asked to listen to a story that you have no contact with, are you willing to wait?"

Xiaowen bit the straw embarrassingly, "Hmm... makes sense."

"I will consider your opinion." Lin Xu said, "I will change it when I go back."

The director nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Should be."

Xiaowen and one of the assistant directors were going out to run some errands. Before they left, the director asked Lin Xu if they wanted to be together.

"No." Lin Xu closed the computer, "I want to see the dubbing progress of "Chess Pieces"."

Xiaowen was busy leaving and couldn't entertain Lin Xu, so she called a small assistant to take Lin Xu to visit the recording studio.

The little assistant led Lin Xu into the recording studio. They were working. There were two staff members and two directors sitting in front of the audio console. Inside the glass panel were Jiang Yang and Xing Xing sitting side by side.

When one of the directors saw Lin Xu walking in, he greeted with a smile, "Teacher Xu Tian, ​​you're here."

Lin Xu put the computer bag on the coffee table, took the warm water poured by the little assistant, and kept looking at Jiang Yang's profile.

"The mood here is not right," the female director sitting wearing a headset said to the people inside, "Guan Yichen's tone should be a little more aggressive, because he was bullied just now, and his voice is hoarse, tearing a little bit. .”

The word "bullying" made Lin Xu recall the plot before and after the eighth episode.

He saw Xing Xing smiled apologetically, and stuck out his tongue at Jiang Yang, he should be saying sorry.

Xing Xing has a standard oval face, not very good-looking, but with a little baby fat on his face, he looks quite obedient, and there is a playfulness in his eyes looking at Jiang Yang.

There was also a smile on Jiang Yang's face, but he smiled helplessly. He pinched the center of his eyebrows, raised the back of his hand to show the red marks all over it to the director outside, and then collided with Lin Xu's gaze.

Jiang Yang's eyes lit up, and he waved to Lin Xu.

Xing Xing followed and looked outside, and waved hello when he saw Lin Xu.

Lin Xu nodded calmly, as a response to them.

The female director laughed, "Okay, it's not that I haven't recorded a sex scene before. Hurry up, find your emotions, and try to finish recording this episode before you get off work. Otherwise, don't blame me for working overtime."

As soon as they heard that they had to work overtime, the two immediately restrained their smiles and worked hard while watching the lines.

"Teacher Xu Tian, ​​would you like to listen to their dubbing?" The male director standing beside Lin Xu asked.

Lin Xu turned his head and asked, "Is it okay?"

The male director smiled, "Of course, otherwise, what's the point of you being with the group?"

He handed his headset to Lin Xu, Lin Xu said thank you, and put it on impatiently, Jiang Yang's voice came into his ears.

"Director, I don't need to be ruthless anymore, right? Wei Hui has bullied people enough. My understanding should be a very satisfied state."

Jiang Yang kept looking at the script while speaking, carefully analyzing the psychology of the characters.

Female director: "Yes, I was very satisfied at the beginning. He was angry when he heard that Guan Yichen used his mother-killing incident as an example. But he couldn't make it too obvious. He didn't want others to control his emotions. "

The two came again according to the director's request. It should have started after the sex scene. Xing Xing gasped very quickly as soon as he came up. With a few unbearable hums, Jiang Yang also panted heavily.

Lin Xu stared at Jiang Yang, his throat was dry, and he drank a few sips of water.

"Don't touch me." Guan Yanchen's voice was trembling, with a trace of hatred hidden in it.

Lin Xu saw Jiang Yang's mouth curled up and smiled, his whole aura suddenly changed, he could feel the coldness from such a distance.

Jiang Yang spoke in a different voice than usual, lazily and contentedly, the hot and indifferent King Sheng came out all of a sudden.

"—You turned your face and denied anyone before you even got out of bed? Who was the one who yelled so happily just now?"

Guan Yuchen was silent for a moment, and said under his breath, "Wei Hui, don't bully people too much."

"I dote on you too much." The smile in Wei Hui's voice faded a little, "You knew that I was at odds with the third child, and you deliberately cooperated with him, causing me to lose the piece of land in the Tianjiao of Beicheng... "

Speaking of this, he changed the subject, "But I'm not interested in it at all. If I lose it, I lose it. But you always don't learn well, which makes me very angry."

"I've said it before, I'm not your prostitute/favor, you..." Guan Yichen took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions, "You can't imprison me like this for the rest of your life."

Wei Hui asked with a half-smile: "I just want to imprison you for the rest of my life? Do you think you can do whatever you want just by being the third child? Do you think the emperor doesn't know what I did to you?"

Guan Yuchen's breathing stagnates.

Wei Hui was in a good mood, and said happily, "The emperor turned a blind eye to this, His Highness Linyuan, are you sometimes too naive?"

His voice gradually slowed down and became softer, mixed with temptation, "What are you delusional about? Isn't it good to be honest with me?"

"Okay?" Guan Yanchen smiled suddenly, mocking undisguisedly, "Do you think the words of a person who even killed his mother are credible? His Royal Highness, you have fulfilled what you promised me." How is it? Although the power of King Yi is not as great as yours, at least he keeps his promise. You are a complete bastard for killing your mother and brother! You are not as good as a dog!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He couldn't hold back his forbearance, and it broke out like a flood that opened the gate. His hoarse voice had a tearing and broken feeling, which made people feel distressed, and contained obvious grievances and resentment.

At this moment, Lin Xu realized that although Xing Xing was young, like Jiang Yang, he did have two skills, and he could handle such complicated emotions so well.

He had heard from Xiaowen before that both Xing Xing and Jiang Yang were chosen by Ah Liang himself to join the studio. Not long after they entered the studio, they picked the leading roles.

"Yes, I am a complete jerk, and I will never deny that." Wei Hui lowered his voice, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "So you'd better put away your cleverness, Guan Yuchen, You know who you are."

Lin Xu walked to Jiang Yang's side, and saw clearly the icy coldness in his eyes.

It was the first time Lin Xu saw Jiang Yang's expression like this, it was cold and cruel, his breathing became a little rough with the change of mood, and he could clearly hear the suppressed anger.

What Lin Xu brought into writing was Jiang Yang's face. At this moment, the character seemed to come alive, his appearance and voice perfectly matched. Wei Hui was not just a thin character, Jiang Yang plumped it up and made it a reality.

"OK, come here today and call it a day."

With the director's order, Jiang Yang's cold expression disappeared immediately, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Lin Xu's nostalgic gaze, and he was slightly taken aback.

Lin Xu realized that he had lost his composure, so he lowered his eyes to drink water, and walked to the other side.

"Teacher Xu Tian, ​​are you coming tomorrow?" the male director asked, "I'll prepare a separate earphone for you."

Lin Xu nodded, "Here."

The door next to the glass panel opened, and Jiang Yang came out first with the script draft, and smiled at Lin Xu, "Senior, how do I get along?"

Lin Xu praised: "Very good."

Xing Xing came out after Jiang Yang, and asked, "What about me? Teacher Lin, how is my performance?"

Lin Xu's smile didn't stop, but his tone was a little more alienated, "The same is excellent."

"Praise me is only three words, and Xing Xing is five words." Jiang Yang sighed, "Mr. Lin, you are biased."

Satisfied, Xing Xing hugged Jiang Yang's shoulder affectionately, "It must be that I am better than you!"

Seeing Xing Xing's actions, Lin Xu's eyes flickered slightly, he cleared his throat, and said to Jiang Yang, "I invite you to dinner... shall I?"

Jiang Yang took two steps to the side, avoiding Xing Xing's movements, and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Bring me to dinner?"

"Well, we haven't seen each other for a long time," Lin Xu considered his words, trying to sound natural, "And didn't you say yesterday... that you have time to make an appointment?"

"But brother Yang, he's not free." Before Jiang Yang could speak, Xing Xing rushed to say, "I asked him out the day before yesterday, and he said that my brother's leg was broken and he was going to the hospital to take care of him."

"Oh, so." Lin Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Then..."

"I'm free." Jiang Yang said, taking out his cell phone from his pocket.

Lin Xu looked at him.

"I know that a new Sichuan restaurant opened nearby is not bad," Jiang Yang tapped the screen with his fingertips, "Shall I make a reservation now?"

The disappointment in Lin Xu's eyes was diluted by joy, he pursed his lips and smiled, "It's up to you to decide."
