Antoine on the cloud

"The next contestant to try out, come in."

When Lin Yu unscrewed the doorknob, the sweat in his palm left a clear palm print on the glass. He was clearly not a freshman, so he still gasped nervously.

"Lin Yu, you can start when you're ready."

The lines in my mind were memorized, and I opened my mouth, and the brewed emotions also opened the gate.

Since he was acting in dramas since he was a child, every time he entered a role, there was an imaginary chasing light shining in the blurred background in front of his eyes. It did not follow him, but was frozen in a certain segment in the void, following the emotions. The surging changes reflect the strange scene, making all the actions and lines concrete, and the expressed emotions are stored in a targeted manner.

A short segment ended smoothly, Lin Yu raised his head, and met the appraising gaze of the person in the middle of the judges' seats on and off the stage.

Director Lu Siqi pinched the microphone with two fingers, thought for a while, and said, "Is it Lin Yu? I haven't seen your play before. I heard that you didn't come from an acting major. With such a level, it's still very impressive." Surprised."

Lin Yu bowed: "Director, do you still need me to perform section B? I prepared it too."

Lu Siqi shook his head: "No need, you go out first."

The director's attitude was a little cold, Lin Yu turned around and closed the door, thinking that this audition was as dirty as the one last week.

Lu Siqi was born in literary and artistic films, and has always been low-production and high-quality. His name is the guarantee of a movie's word-of-mouth box office.The young director is notoriously fond of newcomers, but also notoriously picky.While waiting outside, Lin Yu looked around at the resumes of the people around him. Most of them were from majors, and they crushed him professionally. Then he looked at the 1.8-meter-long legs beside him. tie.

When Lin Yu was still in his sophomore year, Lu Siqi had interviewed actors at their school.At that time, he hadn't signed into Ruifu, and he didn't have a clear career plan. It was purely due to his enthusiasm and a bit of innocent luck that he stumbled into the first role by mistake, and then fell headfirst into this role. The industry fell into Gu Ning's hands.At that time, Zheng Peiyang had just spent one and a half years earning all the credits for his undergraduate degree, so he was exempted from Wuda's graduate school in advance.From the perspective of outsiders, the two stand on the two sides of the invisible Wei and Wei, separated by the rapids, follow their own routes, and trek alone in completely different directions.

In the parking lot of the TV station, Gu Ning tapped on the steering wheel and thought about it: "I think it's okay. According to my experience, Lu Siqi should like your type."

Lin Yu asked curiously, "What type am I?"

Gu Ning squinted at him: "Don't try to hear the praise from me, what do you look like, you can't look in the mirror?!"

Lin Yu took a sip of milk.

In the year when he first took the first role in college, he used the subway to queue up at the entrance of the company for auditions. Nine out of ten times he failed, so he had to take another subway back.Everyone, even Lin's mother, thought this road was crooked, and only Zheng Peiyang told him "let's try again", so he tried it until now.

Gu Ning wanted to find out the director's tone, but he was turned away. He was so angry that he dropped his phone on the steering wheel: "I just won a few awards, and now my eyes are growing on top of my head. Damn, can love work?"

Lin Yu comforted him and said, "It's okay, my previous roles weren't all based on my looks."

Gu Ning took a look at him: "Otherwise, what do you think you rely on? Not relying on your pure face, but relying on the three sticks of incense that I put on you every day in front of the Bodhisattva?!"

Lin Yu straightened his shoulders: "Let's rely on my strength."

Gu Ning lit a cigarette and held it between his index fingers: "You think too much."

Lin Yu: "..."

As Ruihua's chief artist manager, Gu Ning has been doing his best since Lin Yu's debut, adding up to worrying more than his parents.Lin Yu has always felt that when he was an outsider in the film crew, he was picked by Gu Ning, signed into the company and brought to the present. At first, he might be deceived by his appearance, but later, he was purely doing charity.It wasn't until the year before last, when Lin Yu won the Best Supporting Actor in the film festival with the surprise of the movie that had a good reputation at the box office, that Gu Ning was proud of himself in the company - Gu Ning's thighs are still the same thighs, and his vision is not in vain.

Everyone in the circle felt that Lin Yu was a rising superstar with a bright future ahead.

But now a few years have passed, and the male actors who debuted at the same time are already the leading actors in several popular dramas, and Lin Yu is still bumping into walls in the process of accepting the show.Whether he is high or low, his face hasn't changed a bit in all these years - youthful and pure, he looks like a high school student.But Lin Yu was long past the age of acting as a high school student.

After the short-lived two years, Lin Yu's acting career is now stuck at a bottleneck.Gu Ning has always wanted to take him to the strength resource hanger, but in a bunch of fresh meat traffic deduction pictures, the aura he got before has become a burden, which makes his play path especially embarrassing.Big-budget movies don't bother looking for him, and small-budget TV series don't dare to look for him.It's not that Gu Ning didn't plan other routes for Lin Yu, such as speculating on topics to transform traffic, but in the end they gave up.Few people have such a high starting point, let's just shoot movies honestly.

Although the resources are deteriorating, Lin Yu's evaluation from the industry and passers-by is still very positive - "a young and experienced old actor".

The car stopped in front of another building, and Gu Ning threw a booklet into Lin Yu's arms: "This is the flow of today's show, you should read it first."

Lin Yu flipped through the program introduction in his hand while drinking hot milk: "Do you think it's suitable for me to participate in this kind of brain competition program?"

"How long have you been resting at home? Do you think it's appropriate for me to pick and choose for me now, having been idle at home for so long?"

Lin Yu actually only rested at home for two weeks after leaving the last film crew, but Gu Ning couldn't see him doing nothing.An actor's youth is capital, and every minute wasted is a waste of life and money.

There were four words written on the cover in Lin Yu's arms: "Universal Signal".Although this kind of scientific and cultural reality show is novel, it is actually a talent show dressed in cultural science clothes.Because the type is rare, it has been labeled as "fuzzy" since birth, and the program "Signal" has the support of Huanyu Group and the Ministry of Culture. In the first season broadcast last year, several famous contestants appeared. It is topical, and it will not be too ugly if it is blurred.Gu Ning thought it over carefully, and thought that it was rare for Lin Yu to be on a variety show, and he had to be on this kind of show with some cultural gimmicks, which was in line with his usual style of high-mindedness and low-handedness.

The door of the nanny's car was opened from the outside, and Fang Jin poked his head in: "Boss, it's time for us to go in."

Lin Yu dawdled to get out of the car, Gu Ning was worried and told him: "You don't need to really score, this time the promotion contestants have already been determined, you can be a vase for me, you can watch what they compete anyway I don’t understand, if I ask you to make a comment, just say a few words, don’t just argue with the contestants on stage, remember?”

Although Lin Yu nodded, he really wanted to refute him in his heart—I'm just not very smart, and it's not that I'm really dumb, and I can't even understand the rules?

Half an hour later, Lin Yu went to the rehearsal alone, and the choreographer read him the rules of the first quiz match: "The first event is very simple. We first give the contestants eighteen three-dimensional octahedron shapes, and no one Each surface is composed of an independent Sudoku... Finally, the contestant arranges and combines eighteen correct Sudokus to form the final sum of three octahedrons with correct value. In simple terms, it is an active octahedron three-dimensional The graphics are decoded and re-encoded for Sudoku." The director put down the microphone and shouted to Lin Yu, "Mr. Lin, do you have any comments on this project?"

Lin Yu supported his chin, lowered his head in thought for a moment, then raised his head and said seriously to the people on stage: "Can you explain the rules again? I don't seem to understand."

Director: "..."

Another guest who recorded the show with Actor Lin this time is a young idol who has been in the limelight recently, Meng Xiaocheng, who debuted on a talent show, is good at singing and dancing, and has countless fans.Although he is the pillar of Ruifu's new company, he is regarded as Lin Yu's colleague, but he has never dealt with Meng Xiaocheng at work. He only knows that he is a handsome guy. Just by looking at his face, he should have an extraordinary temperament and aloof personality. little handsome guy.

As a result, the handsome guy also lost in the rules of the first round.

The director did not know how many times he explained the rules of the competition to these two celebrity guests: "Do you understand the two teachers?"

Meng Xiaocheng held the script and approached Lin Yu: "Brother, do you understand?"

Lin Yu met his expectant eyes: "I seem to understand.

Meng Xiaocheng said: "My agent said that you are a top student who graduated from Z University, and you must have a better brain than me, so let me not mess around, and follow your score when I don't understand the situation. Brother, come on."

Lin Yu took a deep look at him and gasped: "You said, do we have a third judge?"

Meng Xiaocheng: "..."

The program team invited Meng Xiaocheng to come, and they didn't expect Meng Xiaocheng, an idol who is used to using his face, to really use his brains on the show, or to paddle and quietly be a vase insurance on the judges' table, anyway Another judge looked more reliable.I just didn't expect that another judge was also vying to be the vase.

The judges were still whispering in their seats, and the spotlights on the stage were already on.

The host solemnly introduced the two amateur judges to the audience, and raised his voice: "Before introducing the contestants of this season, except for the two judges, please allow me to introduce our special guests for this season."

Besides the two of them, are there any other guests? Fang Jin didn't talk to him. Lin Yu turned his gaze back to the stage.

A spacecraft model is installed under the big screen on the stage, which corresponds to the theme of this season's "Universal Signal": the sky and the distance, technology and the future. ——Gu Ning boasted that the starting point of this show is not too high. Although the contestants are determined internally, the competition system is simple, and the judges are third-rate, they have great ambitions. From the slogan of the show, it can be seen that their ambition is not just to be a quiz show.

"We invite the youngest research expert, astronomer, Ph.D. in astrophysics of the Huanyu Institute of Technology, the youngest associate professor of Wuda University, and the associate editor of Huanyu Magazine, to be the signal captain of our program this season."

A slender figure walked onto the stage, his eyes swept across the front of the stage, and met Lin Yu's eyes in the air.

The faces of the people on the stage are as white as jade, and their figures are tall and straight. They are cool and outstanding that cannot be concealed by all kinds of lights, like a pearl accidentally falling into the turbid world of mortals.

Lin Yu's hand holding the pen paused, and his eyes froze at a certain point on the stage—a pearl standing there, who else could it be except Zheng Peiyang, their family.
