All the cubs I raise have become giants [Entertainment]
Chapter 84 Meow Meow
"Song of No Name" audition scene.
The media can't enter the room, so they can only squat anxiously outside, and if there is any trouble, they will rush to surround them.Many actors have already auditioned, with different expressions, some look anxious, and some are full of confidence.
Fang Huai looked at it, and the one who was full of confidence was the best actor of the last Venice Film Festival, a Chinese, and the role of 'Lin Xiao' was already inevitable in the conversation.
"Huaihuai, I'll wait for you outside," Ye Yuyuan helped Fang Huai straighten his collar, and said calmly, "Don't be nervous."
Fang Huai looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and nodded after a while:
"Because our family is rich."
If you can't choose, you won't starve to death.
Ye Yuyuan looked at him with lowered eyes, the sky was dim, and there was a smile in his dark pupils, he whispered:
"Ah."
Pike: "..."
When Ye Yuyuan walked out, he was still stuck in that stunned stupor.Fang Huai patted him on the shoulder, pointed at the financial magazine, and chatted with him in a normal tone:
"Pack, did you see this ring on his ring finger?"
Pike: "So what??"
"That's my family's ancestral ring," Fang Huai said seriously, "it was passed on to my daughter-in-law. Do you understand?"
Pike: "..." He didn't want to understand.
Pike was about to faint, thinking that Ye Yuyuan was 0?Not like it? !After a while, he thought again, they are going to get married, if the pre-marital property is not notarized, Fang Huai will be included in this year's Forbes list... Oh my god.
"No. 34, Mr. Parker." The staff came to call for someone, and then said after a pause, "Mr. Fang, please come in and wait."
The two stood up at the same time, their steps were stiff, and they walked in with the same hands and feet.
Although they were gossiping, they were actually quite nervous, especially Fang Huai.How should I put it, in the past 20 days, he felt that he had gradually developed feelings for Lin Xiao, but he didn't know if he was right.
When he walked out, the door of the waiting room was completely closed, and Fang Huai became even more nervous.
There were very few times in his life that he was so tense, not even the eve before the release of "Moonlight from the Abyss".I don't know if he invested too much, and injected emotion and expectation. When he walked out the door, his palms were sweating and his fingertips were pale.
Fang Huai began to think about his own advantages repeatedly. First of all, Xu Tuanyuan was interested in him, indicating that the overall conditions would not be far different.Secondly... But he was still a little flustered, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his state was not right.
Not only the opponent, but even many media interviews did not take him seriously.
"Mr. Fang, you agreed to open casting before, do you regret it now? You missed such a great opportunity."
"Don't be nervous. It's normal not to be selected. Everyone understands your lack of experience."
"Objectively speaking, have you seen the fundamental gap between yourself and other players? We all know that you have always been very humble and self-aware."
"..."
Fang Huai thought about what the media asked him when he first came in.And he has only one answer from beginning to end:
"I believe in myself and I tried hard."
Of course, everyone thinks the same as Pike, when he is humorous or forced to smile.
The road from the waiting room to the audition hall suddenly became long and narrow, and many chaotic emotions surged up until he turned around and saw Ye Yuyuan.
Ye Yuyuan stood just outside the door in the corridor, and when he went out after the audition, he would be able to see him immediately.It was a transparent glass door, and his Ye Yuyuan stood there silently, handsome and deep, looking at him tenderly.
After a while, Fang Huai saw Ye Yuyuan's thin lips parted slightly, and said a few words.
Across the half-section of the corridor and the faint skylight, the sound of the wind came in little by little, and Fang Huai clearly saw what he said:
"Relax, I love you."
"..."
Fang Huai opened his mouth, then pursed his lips, unable to speak.
The heart suddenly stabilized, and soon it was full of oxygen and lifted off a little bit. At this moment, he was extremely sure that he liked this person.
The kind of love that I want to spend my whole life with him.
The staff hadn't seen him enter the door for a long time, and asked a little suspiciously:
"Mr. Fang?"
"Wait a minute, come right away."
Fang Huai took a serious look at Ye Yuyuan, raised the corners of his lips, lowered his eyelids after a while, and went in with the staff.
He will pass, Fang Huai suddenly thought.
He may not be the best in acting, but he is the most suitable for Lin Xiao, not to mention——
Ye Yuyuan loves him.
A person who can be loved by Ye Yuyuan will not be too bad.
When Fang Huai and Pike walked in, the last actor was still playing.
There are also many actors who did not leave, but stayed and watched.It is not necessary to leave immediately after the performance, as long as there is no noise and noise, it is more casual in this respect.
The actor who is about to audition is a Chinese named Jiang Yuan, and he is also a very capable veteran actor. The year before last, he successfully transformed with a Republic of China spy film. In the past two years, he has a tendency to develop abroad.
The one who is considered the most promising this time, one is the one who is currently acting, and the other is last year's best actor at the Venice Film Festival, and Fang Huai... It is estimated that there are more than 20 people in the lineup.
Jiang Yuan's appearance is also very suitable - this time 'Lin Xiao' is Chinese after all, and the natives have more advantages.In fact, people like Parker are here to join in the fun.
Xu Tuanyuan handed him a piece of A4 paper, which was a fragment of the script.Fang Huai saw a '10' written on the piece of paper, and someone gasped. It seemed that this scene was quite difficult.
Parker looked down for a minute, nodded politely to the judges, and began to act.
When auditioning, sometimes a scene is difficult, not because it is so complicated and emotional, but probably just because the scene is too ordinary.
Yes, in just a few minutes of the audition, the explosive scenes of crying and laughing and violent mood swings are easier to grasp, especially when many of the players present are of extraordinary strength.As for Jiang Yuan's scene, the difficulty is that the mood swings are very small, and it is almost a very ordinary daily life interception.
There were actors who got this part of the scene before, and most of them were nervous after the performance.
Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and entered the scene.
Half a minute later, Fang Huai couldn't help but sit upright. No one spoke, but the actors who were still watching looked at each other and exchanged ideas.
...The acting is really good.
It's really good, and the mood is not abrupt. This kind of bland episode focuses on details and eyes, but Jiang Yuan handles both very well, and it really is accumulated over the years.Ask yourself, Fang Huai can't do it like him.
Even Xu Tuanyuan, who hadn't expressed anything special before, couldn't help but nodded.
"Jiang Yuan's acting skills are incredible."
"He has always been down-to-earth. This year, "Midnight" will be sent to Cannes, maybe—"
"For the role of Lin Xiao, it is estimated that Jiang Yuan and Wang Shu are fighting fiercely...don't be too sad, the main reason is that the opponent is too strong."
Pike also leaned into Fang Huai's ear and whispered.Wang Shuli was the one who was very confident outside just now.
Fang Huai watched Jiang Yuan's performance seriously, but did not speak.
Pike thought he was feeling inferior and lost, so he didn't say anything more and continued to read.
Jiang Yuan's scene lasted for 3 minutes. When the performance was over, some people in the jury could not help applauding, but Xu Tuanyuan finally stopped him.
"Please go back and wait for the notice." The staff member said to him.
Jiang Yuan nodded politely, took the towel and wiped his sweat - he obviously didn't make any violent movements when he was acting, but he still sweated a lot because of his strict attention to details and his control of body language.
He didn't leave either, he just stood there and watched, his gaze casually skipping over Fang Huai's body without stopping.
Next up is Parker.
"Come on," Fang Huai reminded him in a low voice, "you'd better use your mother tongue later, don't force yourself to speak Chinese."
Pike nodded and went up.He still used Chinese in the first half, but he was so nervous that he stuttered and couldn't express his feelings. In the end, he changed to French, which was better.
He himself was not very disappointed, the actor who was originally from Huaguo had an advantage, he just came to see the world.
Now, it's Fang Huai's turn.
Strange to say, Fang Huaiming was the actor Xu Tuanyuan originally selected, but no one really took him seriously—someone in the jury was yawning and playing with their mobile phones, and some actors who were watching just now were already planning to get up Let's go, in the eyes of many people, this audition is over when Parker finishes his performance.
Moreover, Xu Tuanyuan hasn't looked at Fang Huai since just now. Maybe it's just a rumor?Even if it wasn't, after seeing so many people, Xu Tuanyuan must have changed his mind.
"Fang Huai," Xu Tuanyuan said indifferently, "Let's do this part, prepare in 2 minutes."
On the piece of paper that Xu Tuanyuan handed him, the number '10' was written on the top.
Fang Huai: "..."
Everyone: "..."
It can be seen that Xu Tuanyuan is expecting each other.Generally, Xu Tuanyuan will only give 10 to actors with relatively strong strength, such as Jiang Yuan.
But I don't know if this expectation is good or bad. Someone looked at Fang Huai and thought gloatingly.
"It's so pitiful."
"Director Xu praised him, he might not be blessed..."
"It's nothing to look at, I'm leaving first, and I will contact you later."
At this time, both Pike and Xu Tuanyuan couldn't help but worry that Fang Huai's mentality would collapse - but fortunately, he didn't.
From the moment Fang Huai got the paper, no sound could reach his ears.
The boy lowered his eyes and looked at the words on the page seriously.
——In his line of sight, the words in Song style floated for no reason, and all the radicals were crushed and reassembled one by one in mid-air, showing a brand new look, while the hidden pictures between the lines and the unfinished words all surfaced again .
He did it in about 30 seconds, getting all the words into his head.
Then, close your eyes.
Fang Huaineng could hear his heart beating fast and his blood flowing fast.
He hasn't said much since watching Jiang Yuan's acting just now - he thought that the opponent would be very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful.Jiang Yuan's performance, maybe not long ago, he would feel nervous, restless, even flustered and inferior, but not now.
It's strange, the more he finds that the opponent is stronger, the more he feels...
I am eager to try.
The blood flowing through every blood vessel seemed to be on fire, colliding with sparks.
Fang Huai closed his eyes, slowed down his breathing, and his sense of hearing gradually became clearer, passed through the noisy human voices, the rendering of heavy traffic, across the vast Pacific Ocean, to a farther and stranger foreign land, along the rusty track all the way Moving forward, the sky is gray-blue.
A drop of rain falls into the sea, crushed by the rumble of the railroad tracks.
Then, countless voices poured in overwhelmingly.
Fang Huai heard Lin Xiao communicate with people in broken English, heard the muffled sound of Lin Xiao being pushed into the mud, heard him convulsively sobbing in the dark warehouse, and then gasoline, fire, endless quarrels, the dining table Mildew spots on the table, overturned boiling kettle.
An inexplicable atmosphere enveloped the audition hall, someone fell silent unknowingly, and the sky light fell through the window on Fang Huai's eyelashes.
The hour hand on the wall slowly turned, and finally the second hand 'clicked'.
It's 2 minutes.
It was also at this second that Fang Huai opened his eyes.
... An inexplicable palpitation suddenly grabbed everyone's heart.
The young man sitting on the chair had his back slightly curved, extremely thin, with a pale and sickly face, and gloomy eyebrows and eyes.
And those light-colored eyes have no focus, and the light does not shine through.Anyone can realize without anyone explaining——
This is a blind man.
At this time, Fang Huai was not like the clean and straightforward big boy just now, as if another soul had been replaced in his body, he was even more gloomy, sick, and decadent, and his youthful appearance was like an old man on the verge of death.
2004 7 Month 12 Day.
This was Lin Xiao's first day home after being released from the hospital after being locked up in the warehouse for five days.
The boy just sat on the chair with his back arched like that. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of his chest, it would make people think that he seemed to be dead.This posture was maintained for several seconds, until a moment later, his index finger moved suddenly.
The boy raised his head and looked in a certain direction, his light-colored out-of-focus eyes turned slowly.
"Ayu." He said, paused, and forced the corners of his mouth to twitch, "After school?"
His voice was extremely dry, like grit that had been sanded off paper.
Lin Yu is Lin Xiao's younger brother.
I don't know what the non-existent 'Lin Yu' said - everyone guessed that it was not a good thing, because the boy's eyeballs turned and turned in another direction.He slowly stood up while holding the guide stick, and said:
"I'm sorry, my brother's hearing...is not very good recently, I don't know where you are."
Only then did everyone understand.He couldn't see that when he talked to 'Lin Yu' just now, he didn't actually face 'Lin Yu' at all, he spoke to the air, probably because 'Lin Yu' scolded him impatiently.This detail was added by Fang Huai himself.
Leaning on his guide stick, the young man walked to the 'table' very slowly, picked up the kettle, and wanted to pour a cup of tea for his brother:
"Are you thirsty? I'll help you, pour tea for you, what do you want to drink—"
His wrist suddenly shook violently, and hot water spilled out, making him shiver, but he didn't cry out in pain.
After watching Jiang Yuan's performance just now, everyone knows that it was 'Lin Yu' who pushed him here.
"What to drink? Dead gay, dead blind."
Lin Yu got angry at school. He had managed to break into the local white circle, but because the news about his elder brother was blind and gay spread, all previous efforts were wasted, and he came back to vent all on Lin Xiao:
"Why don't you die? Why do you want to be my brother? Why do you want to be a disgusting gay? Why can everyone see it, but you can't?!"
The boy maintained his posture of bowing and holding the kettle in one hand, and listened silently.
His back was stiff, and he quietly put his scalded hand behind his back, his fingers convulsed.
After a long time, he whispered:
"sorry."
And Lin Yu was still chattering.
The boy was holding the hot water bottle, his hands were still red and swollen after being scalded, his breathing became faster and faster, his chest heaved violently, and his out-of-focus pupils turned.But soon, everything returned to calm, and his breathing calmed down.
He said softly:
"Ayu, I can't see these eyes because of you."
As soon as Fang Huai finished speaking, someone sighed at the audition scene. Several judges in the judges' seat looked at each other and shook their heads. Even Xu Tuanyuan frowned slightly.
And several actors who have acted in Fragment 10 couldn't help feeling a little superior in their hearts.
Before this sentence, Fang Huai's performance was very good, even excellent - he didn't have the acting skills and experience honed by others for many years, but the degree of empathy he got into the play and the characters surpassed everyone's Unexpectedly, he knows how to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.
He is an experiential actor. Since he can't rely on skills, he relies on his own emotions to drive everything, and he does very well.
However, the sentence "I can't see it because of you" is handled too lightly, like stating a fact casually, and the emotional ups and downs are almost inaudible.
When he first immigrated, Lin Yu was fooling around with his white classmates, racing cars and smoking cigarettes. Lin Xiao went to find him and was dragged into the car by him.Half an hour later, the car accident happened, Lin Xiao hugged Lin Yu to protect him, suffered a concussion and retinal detachment.
This whole scene is a bit depressing and flat, just this sentence, it can be said to be a small emotional explosion point, but any experienced actor, like Jiang Yuan, knows how to grasp this point, and combine that depressive despair with Reluctantly expressed, despair turned numb to the extreme.
However, Fang Huai was not influenced by the outside world and continued to carry on with the scene.
Arguing with his younger brother, they broke up unhappy, and Lin Yu slammed the door and left.What happened next was not written in the script, but was added by the actor after he figured out Lin Xiao's emotions on his own.
Just now Jiang Yuan performed very well. He numbly put down the kettle, sat back in the chair, and lowered his head to sort out the books. He didn't cry, but the feeling of extreme despair leaked through the air, suppressing everyone's breathing , This is Jiang Yuan's technical experience and emotional rendering. He has integrated the skills and the emotions of the characters.
But Fang Huai did not do so.
He curled up his fingers, poured out the cup of tea in silence, and placed it on the table where Lin Yu often sat. Then, leaning on the blinding stick, he turned around dully and walked into his room. close the door.
After closing the door, he suddenly lost his strength and staggered for a while, and then he stopped by holding on to the blinding stick very hard.The boy panted twice, walked to his desk, and picked up something from the table.
He obviously couldn't see it, but he still lifted the thing up to the sunlight, his out-of-focus eyes seemed to be looking at it.
He held it in his left hand, let go of the blind stick with his right hand, and fiddled with the things in his hand.
——Suddenly someone realized that it was an old windmill.
When Lin Xiao was nine years old, seven-year-old Lin Yu saved a month's pocket money and gave him a gift.
"I didn't do it on purpose," he said with difficulty, "Ah Yu, I also want to be a normal brother."
I was locked in the warehouse for five full days, hopeless, painful, and numb.
He knew that Lin Yu treated him badly, disliked him as a blind homosexual, never wanted to call him brother outside, and looked at him like trash, the last thing he said to him before going out was "Why don't you get out", he Not without sadness and anger in my heart.
But he also remembered Lin Yu's kindness to him.
I remember that the first composition he wrote was 'My Brother'. I remember that the little child saved a month's pocket money to buy him a birthday present. I remember that he proudly said to his friends, 'My brother is very good. I will grow up to be He's like that'.
In the face of death, the hatred and anger suddenly became very faint, and what remained——
is love.
The young man carefully held the small windmill, and looked at its appearance carefully against the skylight with his out-of-focus pupils.
A moment later, his lips curled up a little softly, and his eye sockets were completely red.
The wind is rushing, passing through the streets of foreign countries, the memory of many years ago is like a rain that came late, with moisture.
The audition hall fell into a long silence.
After half an hour.
When Fang Huai walked out of the audition hall and opened the glass door through the long and narrow corridor, a large blue sky in winter came into view unexpectedly.
Ye Yuyuan stood silently outside the door, his dark eyes drooping, and he rubbed his cuff buttons subconsciously, looking even more anxious than him.
Fang Huai could see that he wanted to ask the result, but he was afraid that Fang Huai would be sad if he did not mention it, so his heart wavered from side to side.
"No." Fang Huai liked what he liked in his heart, but shook his head expressionlessly, "Go home."
Ye Yuyuan straightened his back, and after a long time, said:
"Ah."
Fang Huai took two steps forward, but Ye Yuyuan didn't see Ye Yuyuan following him, so he turned around.
Ye Yuyuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked up.He buttoned up Fang Huai's woolen hat, and from a distance it looked like he was helping him adjust the brim of the hat, but he was actually bowing his head and kissing him.
"Huaihuai, they don't have vision," Ye Yuyuan said hoarsely, "If you change the director, whose play do you want to act in?"
Fang Huai: "..."
He pondered for a long time, and finally asked:
"Really?"
"Ah."
"But I lied to you." Fang Huai said, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he suppressed a smile, "I don't know if I have done it yet, go back and wait for the notice."
Ye Yuyuan's eyes froze: "..."
The tip of Fang Huai's nose and cheeks were a little red from the wind, Ye Yuyuan's light amber eyes were fixed on Ye Yuyuan, and after a while, he asked:
"Ms. Ye, if you don't lose the election, you can't kiss?"
Ye Yuyuan was silent for a while, and coughed lightly in embarrassment.He lowered his eyes and kissed him, and said with difficulty after a while:
"of course can."
"..."
After Fang Huai looked at it carefully, he felt that Ye Yuyuan seemed very happy.
In his audition, Ye Yuyuan was more nervous than him.After returning home, Ye Yuyuan would say to him from time to time: "It will definitely pass."
Fang Huai was also worried that he would secretly find a fortune teller or astrologist to make a calculation.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and today is the last day of the year.It was dark early, and when it was past ten o'clock, the square in the city center was crowded with people, waiting for the New Year's countdown.
Fang Huai and Ye Yuyuan also came to the square after dinner, but they just casually looked at the stars in the park away from the crowd.
"When will there be a result?" Ye Yuyuan fidgeted for most of the night. He had never seen him so nervous when Ptah's fourth-generation AI was released before. "Tonight?"
"It should be tonight," Fang Huai nodded, and couldn't help comforting him after a while, "It's possible, it's possible, but don't get lost."
Fang Huai really didn't know what the result would be.
What he and Jiang Yuan expressed were emotions from two aspects. In fact, it was hard to tell which was good and which was bad, but Jiang Yuan's acting skills and experience were better than his.In addition, he did not see Wang Shuli's performance, so it should be very powerful.What about the Venice Film Festival, the Palme d'Or Golden Lion Award... Fang Huai couldn't stand any of them.
The moment he walked out of the audition hall, Fang Huai's mentality was actually at peace.
never mind.Do your best and obey the destiny.
"Go and count down," Fang Huai stood up from the chair and patted the dust off his body, "Uncle Ye."
This is the first new year he and Ye Yuyuan spent together.
Fang Huai thought to himself, although there will be many more in the future, the first one must be very special.
It is now 11:30, the square is full of people, the lights have been dimmed one by one, and the faces of the people around cannot be seen clearly.In the winter night wind, couples cuddled together, high school girls chatted together, and the loud voices gave off a unique sense of liveliness and warmth.
This city made him feel strange and intimidated a few months ago, but now it has become his home.The people he loves are here, his friends, his career, he is like a small seed that was blown here, took root by accident, and grew up little by little.
The year is coming to an end.Fang Huai looked up at the starry sky and the big clock in the city center, and counted the year in his palm.
From Fang Jianguo's death, to entering the city, participating in the "Stellar Light" audition, becoming the composer of "Frost" by accident, being trapped in the parking lot during a typhoon, the release of "Moonlight in the Abyss", staying in the signal cabin, "Frost" Auditions for Untitled Song...
Also, his Ye Yuyuan.
The people around were silent for a moment, holding his hand and interlocking their fingers.
The noisy voices gradually sounded, all the lights were extinguished one by one, the crowd was surging in the square, and the electronic screen in the center lit up.
"It's time to count down." Fang Huai looked at Ye Yuyuan and said.
He hadn't counted down before. He watched the video online and liked the lively atmosphere very much.
"Ten—" The digital screen lights up.
Like every young man in the square, Fang Huai counted out the first number with a smile.Ye Yuyuan looked at him with lowered eyelids, and after a while, he also said a 'ten' softly.
The tiny stars covered the night sky and twinkled together.
"Nine--"
Fang Huai felt that Ye Yuyuan's hand was a little cold, so he held his with both hands.Ye Yuyuan lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead.
"..."
"three--"
The surrounding voices were so loud that he couldn't hear anything, Fang Huai covered his ears with one hand, and said to Ye Yuyuan, "Ms. Ye——"
Ye Yuyuan: "What?"
He didn't seem to hear clearly, lowered his eyes and leaned over.
"two--"
The couples around hugged each other, and the wind was loud.
Fang Huai and Ye Yuyuan looked at each other from a very close distance, Fang Huai suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.
He raised his head and kissed Ye Yuyuan.
"one!"
The last number lights up, and suddenly countless fireworks explode into the sky, everyone laughs and cheers, and couples kiss.
Ye Yuyuan leaned over to hug him, deepening the kiss.
A torrent of fire engulfed the whole world, the clock passed by at the last second, the pages of the book were gently opened by sparks, and the wind blew from the old year to the new.
Everything around is far away, and snowflakes are falling softly.
New Year is here.
The sound of fireworks was very loud, and people's voices were noisy. Fang Huai said in Ye Yuyuan's ear:
"Happy New Year, Teacher Ye, thank you for coming to my side."
Ye Yuyuan was silent for a moment, his eyes softened, and he also whispered:
"Happy New Year, Huaihuai, I am willing to wait for you to grow up."
Fang Huai was dumbfounded: "..."
"Wait," he touched his red ears, "you say it again?"
At this moment, Fang Huai's cell phone rang suddenly.Fang Huai was still thinking about the sentence just now, and answered the phone absent-mindedly:
"Um... oh, I see, thank you."
Ye Yuyuan: "Huh?"
Fang Huai said casually: "It's nothing, it means I... audition..."
When he said this moment, he suddenly realized that he opened his eyes a little bit.He couldn't help kissing Ye Yuyuan, holding the phone, and said blankly:
"He said I..."
"The audition is over!"
The media can't enter the room, so they can only squat anxiously outside, and if there is any trouble, they will rush to surround them.Many actors have already auditioned, with different expressions, some look anxious, and some are full of confidence.
Fang Huai looked at it, and the one who was full of confidence was the best actor of the last Venice Film Festival, a Chinese, and the role of 'Lin Xiao' was already inevitable in the conversation.
"Huaihuai, I'll wait for you outside," Ye Yuyuan helped Fang Huai straighten his collar, and said calmly, "Don't be nervous."
Fang Huai looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and nodded after a while:
"Because our family is rich."
If you can't choose, you won't starve to death.
Ye Yuyuan looked at him with lowered eyes, the sky was dim, and there was a smile in his dark pupils, he whispered:
"Ah."
Pike: "..."
When Ye Yuyuan walked out, he was still stuck in that stunned stupor.Fang Huai patted him on the shoulder, pointed at the financial magazine, and chatted with him in a normal tone:
"Pack, did you see this ring on his ring finger?"
Pike: "So what??"
"That's my family's ancestral ring," Fang Huai said seriously, "it was passed on to my daughter-in-law. Do you understand?"
Pike: "..." He didn't want to understand.
Pike was about to faint, thinking that Ye Yuyuan was 0?Not like it? !After a while, he thought again, they are going to get married, if the pre-marital property is not notarized, Fang Huai will be included in this year's Forbes list... Oh my god.
"No. 34, Mr. Parker." The staff came to call for someone, and then said after a pause, "Mr. Fang, please come in and wait."
The two stood up at the same time, their steps were stiff, and they walked in with the same hands and feet.
Although they were gossiping, they were actually quite nervous, especially Fang Huai.How should I put it, in the past 20 days, he felt that he had gradually developed feelings for Lin Xiao, but he didn't know if he was right.
When he walked out, the door of the waiting room was completely closed, and Fang Huai became even more nervous.
There were very few times in his life that he was so tense, not even the eve before the release of "Moonlight from the Abyss".I don't know if he invested too much, and injected emotion and expectation. When he walked out the door, his palms were sweating and his fingertips were pale.
Fang Huai began to think about his own advantages repeatedly. First of all, Xu Tuanyuan was interested in him, indicating that the overall conditions would not be far different.Secondly... But he was still a little flustered, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his state was not right.
Not only the opponent, but even many media interviews did not take him seriously.
"Mr. Fang, you agreed to open casting before, do you regret it now? You missed such a great opportunity."
"Don't be nervous. It's normal not to be selected. Everyone understands your lack of experience."
"Objectively speaking, have you seen the fundamental gap between yourself and other players? We all know that you have always been very humble and self-aware."
"..."
Fang Huai thought about what the media asked him when he first came in.And he has only one answer from beginning to end:
"I believe in myself and I tried hard."
Of course, everyone thinks the same as Pike, when he is humorous or forced to smile.
The road from the waiting room to the audition hall suddenly became long and narrow, and many chaotic emotions surged up until he turned around and saw Ye Yuyuan.
Ye Yuyuan stood just outside the door in the corridor, and when he went out after the audition, he would be able to see him immediately.It was a transparent glass door, and his Ye Yuyuan stood there silently, handsome and deep, looking at him tenderly.
After a while, Fang Huai saw Ye Yuyuan's thin lips parted slightly, and said a few words.
Across the half-section of the corridor and the faint skylight, the sound of the wind came in little by little, and Fang Huai clearly saw what he said:
"Relax, I love you."
"..."
Fang Huai opened his mouth, then pursed his lips, unable to speak.
The heart suddenly stabilized, and soon it was full of oxygen and lifted off a little bit. At this moment, he was extremely sure that he liked this person.
The kind of love that I want to spend my whole life with him.
The staff hadn't seen him enter the door for a long time, and asked a little suspiciously:
"Mr. Fang?"
"Wait a minute, come right away."
Fang Huai took a serious look at Ye Yuyuan, raised the corners of his lips, lowered his eyelids after a while, and went in with the staff.
He will pass, Fang Huai suddenly thought.
He may not be the best in acting, but he is the most suitable for Lin Xiao, not to mention——
Ye Yuyuan loves him.
A person who can be loved by Ye Yuyuan will not be too bad.
When Fang Huai and Pike walked in, the last actor was still playing.
There are also many actors who did not leave, but stayed and watched.It is not necessary to leave immediately after the performance, as long as there is no noise and noise, it is more casual in this respect.
The actor who is about to audition is a Chinese named Jiang Yuan, and he is also a very capable veteran actor. The year before last, he successfully transformed with a Republic of China spy film. In the past two years, he has a tendency to develop abroad.
The one who is considered the most promising this time, one is the one who is currently acting, and the other is last year's best actor at the Venice Film Festival, and Fang Huai... It is estimated that there are more than 20 people in the lineup.
Jiang Yuan's appearance is also very suitable - this time 'Lin Xiao' is Chinese after all, and the natives have more advantages.In fact, people like Parker are here to join in the fun.
Xu Tuanyuan handed him a piece of A4 paper, which was a fragment of the script.Fang Huai saw a '10' written on the piece of paper, and someone gasped. It seemed that this scene was quite difficult.
Parker looked down for a minute, nodded politely to the judges, and began to act.
When auditioning, sometimes a scene is difficult, not because it is so complicated and emotional, but probably just because the scene is too ordinary.
Yes, in just a few minutes of the audition, the explosive scenes of crying and laughing and violent mood swings are easier to grasp, especially when many of the players present are of extraordinary strength.As for Jiang Yuan's scene, the difficulty is that the mood swings are very small, and it is almost a very ordinary daily life interception.
There were actors who got this part of the scene before, and most of them were nervous after the performance.
Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and entered the scene.
Half a minute later, Fang Huai couldn't help but sit upright. No one spoke, but the actors who were still watching looked at each other and exchanged ideas.
...The acting is really good.
It's really good, and the mood is not abrupt. This kind of bland episode focuses on details and eyes, but Jiang Yuan handles both very well, and it really is accumulated over the years.Ask yourself, Fang Huai can't do it like him.
Even Xu Tuanyuan, who hadn't expressed anything special before, couldn't help but nodded.
"Jiang Yuan's acting skills are incredible."
"He has always been down-to-earth. This year, "Midnight" will be sent to Cannes, maybe—"
"For the role of Lin Xiao, it is estimated that Jiang Yuan and Wang Shu are fighting fiercely...don't be too sad, the main reason is that the opponent is too strong."
Pike also leaned into Fang Huai's ear and whispered.Wang Shuli was the one who was very confident outside just now.
Fang Huai watched Jiang Yuan's performance seriously, but did not speak.
Pike thought he was feeling inferior and lost, so he didn't say anything more and continued to read.
Jiang Yuan's scene lasted for 3 minutes. When the performance was over, some people in the jury could not help applauding, but Xu Tuanyuan finally stopped him.
"Please go back and wait for the notice." The staff member said to him.
Jiang Yuan nodded politely, took the towel and wiped his sweat - he obviously didn't make any violent movements when he was acting, but he still sweated a lot because of his strict attention to details and his control of body language.
He didn't leave either, he just stood there and watched, his gaze casually skipping over Fang Huai's body without stopping.
Next up is Parker.
"Come on," Fang Huai reminded him in a low voice, "you'd better use your mother tongue later, don't force yourself to speak Chinese."
Pike nodded and went up.He still used Chinese in the first half, but he was so nervous that he stuttered and couldn't express his feelings. In the end, he changed to French, which was better.
He himself was not very disappointed, the actor who was originally from Huaguo had an advantage, he just came to see the world.
Now, it's Fang Huai's turn.
Strange to say, Fang Huaiming was the actor Xu Tuanyuan originally selected, but no one really took him seriously—someone in the jury was yawning and playing with their mobile phones, and some actors who were watching just now were already planning to get up Let's go, in the eyes of many people, this audition is over when Parker finishes his performance.
Moreover, Xu Tuanyuan hasn't looked at Fang Huai since just now. Maybe it's just a rumor?Even if it wasn't, after seeing so many people, Xu Tuanyuan must have changed his mind.
"Fang Huai," Xu Tuanyuan said indifferently, "Let's do this part, prepare in 2 minutes."
On the piece of paper that Xu Tuanyuan handed him, the number '10' was written on the top.
Fang Huai: "..."
Everyone: "..."
It can be seen that Xu Tuanyuan is expecting each other.Generally, Xu Tuanyuan will only give 10 to actors with relatively strong strength, such as Jiang Yuan.
But I don't know if this expectation is good or bad. Someone looked at Fang Huai and thought gloatingly.
"It's so pitiful."
"Director Xu praised him, he might not be blessed..."
"It's nothing to look at, I'm leaving first, and I will contact you later."
At this time, both Pike and Xu Tuanyuan couldn't help but worry that Fang Huai's mentality would collapse - but fortunately, he didn't.
From the moment Fang Huai got the paper, no sound could reach his ears.
The boy lowered his eyes and looked at the words on the page seriously.
——In his line of sight, the words in Song style floated for no reason, and all the radicals were crushed and reassembled one by one in mid-air, showing a brand new look, while the hidden pictures between the lines and the unfinished words all surfaced again .
He did it in about 30 seconds, getting all the words into his head.
Then, close your eyes.
Fang Huaineng could hear his heart beating fast and his blood flowing fast.
He hasn't said much since watching Jiang Yuan's acting just now - he thought that the opponent would be very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful.Jiang Yuan's performance, maybe not long ago, he would feel nervous, restless, even flustered and inferior, but not now.
It's strange, the more he finds that the opponent is stronger, the more he feels...
I am eager to try.
The blood flowing through every blood vessel seemed to be on fire, colliding with sparks.
Fang Huai closed his eyes, slowed down his breathing, and his sense of hearing gradually became clearer, passed through the noisy human voices, the rendering of heavy traffic, across the vast Pacific Ocean, to a farther and stranger foreign land, along the rusty track all the way Moving forward, the sky is gray-blue.
A drop of rain falls into the sea, crushed by the rumble of the railroad tracks.
Then, countless voices poured in overwhelmingly.
Fang Huai heard Lin Xiao communicate with people in broken English, heard the muffled sound of Lin Xiao being pushed into the mud, heard him convulsively sobbing in the dark warehouse, and then gasoline, fire, endless quarrels, the dining table Mildew spots on the table, overturned boiling kettle.
An inexplicable atmosphere enveloped the audition hall, someone fell silent unknowingly, and the sky light fell through the window on Fang Huai's eyelashes.
The hour hand on the wall slowly turned, and finally the second hand 'clicked'.
It's 2 minutes.
It was also at this second that Fang Huai opened his eyes.
... An inexplicable palpitation suddenly grabbed everyone's heart.
The young man sitting on the chair had his back slightly curved, extremely thin, with a pale and sickly face, and gloomy eyebrows and eyes.
And those light-colored eyes have no focus, and the light does not shine through.Anyone can realize without anyone explaining——
This is a blind man.
At this time, Fang Huai was not like the clean and straightforward big boy just now, as if another soul had been replaced in his body, he was even more gloomy, sick, and decadent, and his youthful appearance was like an old man on the verge of death.
2004 7 Month 12 Day.
This was Lin Xiao's first day home after being released from the hospital after being locked up in the warehouse for five days.
The boy just sat on the chair with his back arched like that. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of his chest, it would make people think that he seemed to be dead.This posture was maintained for several seconds, until a moment later, his index finger moved suddenly.
The boy raised his head and looked in a certain direction, his light-colored out-of-focus eyes turned slowly.
"Ayu." He said, paused, and forced the corners of his mouth to twitch, "After school?"
His voice was extremely dry, like grit that had been sanded off paper.
Lin Yu is Lin Xiao's younger brother.
I don't know what the non-existent 'Lin Yu' said - everyone guessed that it was not a good thing, because the boy's eyeballs turned and turned in another direction.He slowly stood up while holding the guide stick, and said:
"I'm sorry, my brother's hearing...is not very good recently, I don't know where you are."
Only then did everyone understand.He couldn't see that when he talked to 'Lin Yu' just now, he didn't actually face 'Lin Yu' at all, he spoke to the air, probably because 'Lin Yu' scolded him impatiently.This detail was added by Fang Huai himself.
Leaning on his guide stick, the young man walked to the 'table' very slowly, picked up the kettle, and wanted to pour a cup of tea for his brother:
"Are you thirsty? I'll help you, pour tea for you, what do you want to drink—"
His wrist suddenly shook violently, and hot water spilled out, making him shiver, but he didn't cry out in pain.
After watching Jiang Yuan's performance just now, everyone knows that it was 'Lin Yu' who pushed him here.
"What to drink? Dead gay, dead blind."
Lin Yu got angry at school. He had managed to break into the local white circle, but because the news about his elder brother was blind and gay spread, all previous efforts were wasted, and he came back to vent all on Lin Xiao:
"Why don't you die? Why do you want to be my brother? Why do you want to be a disgusting gay? Why can everyone see it, but you can't?!"
The boy maintained his posture of bowing and holding the kettle in one hand, and listened silently.
His back was stiff, and he quietly put his scalded hand behind his back, his fingers convulsed.
After a long time, he whispered:
"sorry."
And Lin Yu was still chattering.
The boy was holding the hot water bottle, his hands were still red and swollen after being scalded, his breathing became faster and faster, his chest heaved violently, and his out-of-focus pupils turned.But soon, everything returned to calm, and his breathing calmed down.
He said softly:
"Ayu, I can't see these eyes because of you."
As soon as Fang Huai finished speaking, someone sighed at the audition scene. Several judges in the judges' seat looked at each other and shook their heads. Even Xu Tuanyuan frowned slightly.
And several actors who have acted in Fragment 10 couldn't help feeling a little superior in their hearts.
Before this sentence, Fang Huai's performance was very good, even excellent - he didn't have the acting skills and experience honed by others for many years, but the degree of empathy he got into the play and the characters surpassed everyone's Unexpectedly, he knows how to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.
He is an experiential actor. Since he can't rely on skills, he relies on his own emotions to drive everything, and he does very well.
However, the sentence "I can't see it because of you" is handled too lightly, like stating a fact casually, and the emotional ups and downs are almost inaudible.
When he first immigrated, Lin Yu was fooling around with his white classmates, racing cars and smoking cigarettes. Lin Xiao went to find him and was dragged into the car by him.Half an hour later, the car accident happened, Lin Xiao hugged Lin Yu to protect him, suffered a concussion and retinal detachment.
This whole scene is a bit depressing and flat, just this sentence, it can be said to be a small emotional explosion point, but any experienced actor, like Jiang Yuan, knows how to grasp this point, and combine that depressive despair with Reluctantly expressed, despair turned numb to the extreme.
However, Fang Huai was not influenced by the outside world and continued to carry on with the scene.
Arguing with his younger brother, they broke up unhappy, and Lin Yu slammed the door and left.What happened next was not written in the script, but was added by the actor after he figured out Lin Xiao's emotions on his own.
Just now Jiang Yuan performed very well. He numbly put down the kettle, sat back in the chair, and lowered his head to sort out the books. He didn't cry, but the feeling of extreme despair leaked through the air, suppressing everyone's breathing , This is Jiang Yuan's technical experience and emotional rendering. He has integrated the skills and the emotions of the characters.
But Fang Huai did not do so.
He curled up his fingers, poured out the cup of tea in silence, and placed it on the table where Lin Yu often sat. Then, leaning on the blinding stick, he turned around dully and walked into his room. close the door.
After closing the door, he suddenly lost his strength and staggered for a while, and then he stopped by holding on to the blinding stick very hard.The boy panted twice, walked to his desk, and picked up something from the table.
He obviously couldn't see it, but he still lifted the thing up to the sunlight, his out-of-focus eyes seemed to be looking at it.
He held it in his left hand, let go of the blind stick with his right hand, and fiddled with the things in his hand.
——Suddenly someone realized that it was an old windmill.
When Lin Xiao was nine years old, seven-year-old Lin Yu saved a month's pocket money and gave him a gift.
"I didn't do it on purpose," he said with difficulty, "Ah Yu, I also want to be a normal brother."
I was locked in the warehouse for five full days, hopeless, painful, and numb.
He knew that Lin Yu treated him badly, disliked him as a blind homosexual, never wanted to call him brother outside, and looked at him like trash, the last thing he said to him before going out was "Why don't you get out", he Not without sadness and anger in my heart.
But he also remembered Lin Yu's kindness to him.
I remember that the first composition he wrote was 'My Brother'. I remember that the little child saved a month's pocket money to buy him a birthday present. I remember that he proudly said to his friends, 'My brother is very good. I will grow up to be He's like that'.
In the face of death, the hatred and anger suddenly became very faint, and what remained——
is love.
The young man carefully held the small windmill, and looked at its appearance carefully against the skylight with his out-of-focus pupils.
A moment later, his lips curled up a little softly, and his eye sockets were completely red.
The wind is rushing, passing through the streets of foreign countries, the memory of many years ago is like a rain that came late, with moisture.
The audition hall fell into a long silence.
After half an hour.
When Fang Huai walked out of the audition hall and opened the glass door through the long and narrow corridor, a large blue sky in winter came into view unexpectedly.
Ye Yuyuan stood silently outside the door, his dark eyes drooping, and he rubbed his cuff buttons subconsciously, looking even more anxious than him.
Fang Huai could see that he wanted to ask the result, but he was afraid that Fang Huai would be sad if he did not mention it, so his heart wavered from side to side.
"No." Fang Huai liked what he liked in his heart, but shook his head expressionlessly, "Go home."
Ye Yuyuan straightened his back, and after a long time, said:
"Ah."
Fang Huai took two steps forward, but Ye Yuyuan didn't see Ye Yuyuan following him, so he turned around.
Ye Yuyuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked up.He buttoned up Fang Huai's woolen hat, and from a distance it looked like he was helping him adjust the brim of the hat, but he was actually bowing his head and kissing him.
"Huaihuai, they don't have vision," Ye Yuyuan said hoarsely, "If you change the director, whose play do you want to act in?"
Fang Huai: "..."
He pondered for a long time, and finally asked:
"Really?"
"Ah."
"But I lied to you." Fang Huai said, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he suppressed a smile, "I don't know if I have done it yet, go back and wait for the notice."
Ye Yuyuan's eyes froze: "..."
The tip of Fang Huai's nose and cheeks were a little red from the wind, Ye Yuyuan's light amber eyes were fixed on Ye Yuyuan, and after a while, he asked:
"Ms. Ye, if you don't lose the election, you can't kiss?"
Ye Yuyuan was silent for a while, and coughed lightly in embarrassment.He lowered his eyes and kissed him, and said with difficulty after a while:
"of course can."
"..."
After Fang Huai looked at it carefully, he felt that Ye Yuyuan seemed very happy.
In his audition, Ye Yuyuan was more nervous than him.After returning home, Ye Yuyuan would say to him from time to time: "It will definitely pass."
Fang Huai was also worried that he would secretly find a fortune teller or astrologist to make a calculation.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and today is the last day of the year.It was dark early, and when it was past ten o'clock, the square in the city center was crowded with people, waiting for the New Year's countdown.
Fang Huai and Ye Yuyuan also came to the square after dinner, but they just casually looked at the stars in the park away from the crowd.
"When will there be a result?" Ye Yuyuan fidgeted for most of the night. He had never seen him so nervous when Ptah's fourth-generation AI was released before. "Tonight?"
"It should be tonight," Fang Huai nodded, and couldn't help comforting him after a while, "It's possible, it's possible, but don't get lost."
Fang Huai really didn't know what the result would be.
What he and Jiang Yuan expressed were emotions from two aspects. In fact, it was hard to tell which was good and which was bad, but Jiang Yuan's acting skills and experience were better than his.In addition, he did not see Wang Shuli's performance, so it should be very powerful.What about the Venice Film Festival, the Palme d'Or Golden Lion Award... Fang Huai couldn't stand any of them.
The moment he walked out of the audition hall, Fang Huai's mentality was actually at peace.
never mind.Do your best and obey the destiny.
"Go and count down," Fang Huai stood up from the chair and patted the dust off his body, "Uncle Ye."
This is the first new year he and Ye Yuyuan spent together.
Fang Huai thought to himself, although there will be many more in the future, the first one must be very special.
It is now 11:30, the square is full of people, the lights have been dimmed one by one, and the faces of the people around cannot be seen clearly.In the winter night wind, couples cuddled together, high school girls chatted together, and the loud voices gave off a unique sense of liveliness and warmth.
This city made him feel strange and intimidated a few months ago, but now it has become his home.The people he loves are here, his friends, his career, he is like a small seed that was blown here, took root by accident, and grew up little by little.
The year is coming to an end.Fang Huai looked up at the starry sky and the big clock in the city center, and counted the year in his palm.
From Fang Jianguo's death, to entering the city, participating in the "Stellar Light" audition, becoming the composer of "Frost" by accident, being trapped in the parking lot during a typhoon, the release of "Moonlight in the Abyss", staying in the signal cabin, "Frost" Auditions for Untitled Song...
Also, his Ye Yuyuan.
The people around were silent for a moment, holding his hand and interlocking their fingers.
The noisy voices gradually sounded, all the lights were extinguished one by one, the crowd was surging in the square, and the electronic screen in the center lit up.
"It's time to count down." Fang Huai looked at Ye Yuyuan and said.
He hadn't counted down before. He watched the video online and liked the lively atmosphere very much.
"Ten—" The digital screen lights up.
Like every young man in the square, Fang Huai counted out the first number with a smile.Ye Yuyuan looked at him with lowered eyelids, and after a while, he also said a 'ten' softly.
The tiny stars covered the night sky and twinkled together.
"Nine--"
Fang Huai felt that Ye Yuyuan's hand was a little cold, so he held his with both hands.Ye Yuyuan lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead.
"..."
"three--"
The surrounding voices were so loud that he couldn't hear anything, Fang Huai covered his ears with one hand, and said to Ye Yuyuan, "Ms. Ye——"
Ye Yuyuan: "What?"
He didn't seem to hear clearly, lowered his eyes and leaned over.
"two--"
The couples around hugged each other, and the wind was loud.
Fang Huai and Ye Yuyuan looked at each other from a very close distance, Fang Huai suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.
He raised his head and kissed Ye Yuyuan.
"one!"
The last number lights up, and suddenly countless fireworks explode into the sky, everyone laughs and cheers, and couples kiss.
Ye Yuyuan leaned over to hug him, deepening the kiss.
A torrent of fire engulfed the whole world, the clock passed by at the last second, the pages of the book were gently opened by sparks, and the wind blew from the old year to the new.
Everything around is far away, and snowflakes are falling softly.
New Year is here.
The sound of fireworks was very loud, and people's voices were noisy. Fang Huai said in Ye Yuyuan's ear:
"Happy New Year, Teacher Ye, thank you for coming to my side."
Ye Yuyuan was silent for a moment, his eyes softened, and he also whispered:
"Happy New Year, Huaihuai, I am willing to wait for you to grow up."
Fang Huai was dumbfounded: "..."
"Wait," he touched his red ears, "you say it again?"
At this moment, Fang Huai's cell phone rang suddenly.Fang Huai was still thinking about the sentence just now, and answered the phone absent-mindedly:
"Um... oh, I see, thank you."
Ye Yuyuan: "Huh?"
Fang Huai said casually: "It's nothing, it means I... audition..."
When he said this moment, he suddenly realized that he opened his eyes a little bit.He couldn't help kissing Ye Yuyuan, holding the phone, and said blankly:
"He said I..."
"The audition is over!"
