According to the agreed time, Bai Zhan came to Fusheng. This is a bar. It’s not surprising that Zhou Boyan will meet here. It’s actually Liu Xiaoluan’s private property, and it’s not completely open to the public. Compared with other public places, this place is more private. .

Although he is no longer a public figure, he still retains the old habit of walking in through the back door.

As soon as he entered the door, a waiter immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Bai?" After receiving an affirmative answer, he said: "Please follow me."

Passing through the dimly lit winding corridor, Bai Zhan was led to the door of a semi-enclosed box, and through the faint wine-red bead curtain, one could see that there was already a person sitting inside.

The waiter retreated, Bai Zhan opened the bead curtain, saw the people inside, and immediately blurted out: "Why are you?" Realizing that his performance was too casual, he hurriedly bowed slightly, "It's actually Director Liu, I really don't know. did not expect."

Liu Xiaoluan took his reaction just now into his eyes but didn't say anything, he just smiled and said: "Please sit down, actually I want to ask you out."

Bai Zhan sat down, puzzled and said: "Then why...? I was so happy that I thought that Mr. Zhou had the intention of changing jobs." Zhou Boyan is an artist of Shenghua, and Shenghua is the studio under Liu Xiaoluan.

Liu Xiaoluan just smiled when he heard the words, "I was being rude." He picked up the drink list and asked, "What kind of wine does Mr. Bai drink?"

"I don't have a particular preference, it's up to you. But if the degree is too high, I can't."

Liu Xiaoluan tapped his chin with his slender fingers, and said, "Let's go to Lime." After speaking, he looked towards Bai Zhan.

Bai Zhan looked at him calmly: "Lime? Is it fruit wine?"

Liu Xiaoluan smiled, "It's the signboard here."

"Director Liu seems to be very familiar with this place."

"Yes, I often get together with my friends here, it's quiet."

"Oh." Bai Zhan nodded.

In fact, my heart was already in a mess. What was Liu Xiaoluan's intention to come here by himself?Did he discover something?If you just want to talk about work, why drink?

This Fusheng used to be their most frequented place.

From the moment he came in, he felt that the other party was full of tricks. As Bai Zhan, it should be his first time here, but he chose the back door without hesitation. When did the back door have waiters waiting?It was obvious that she was waiting for him.And when I ordered wine just now, I clearly said that I wanted a low alcohol content, but the other party gave him an order of limes. This is indeed the specialty of this bar, but the alcohol content is definitely not low, okay?His current drinking capacity must be down three glasses!I have to pretend I don't know, I can't question...

Drinks and snacks were quickly served, Liu Xiaoluan and Bai Zhan clinked glasses, they both took a sip at the same time, put down the wine glasses, Bai Zhan waited for Liu Xiaoluan to speak first.

"Bai Zhan, I found that you have great potential to be an actor, why don't you give it a try?"

Bai Zhan smiled immediately: "Director Liu, you're flattering me too much, I still know myself."

Liu Xiaoluan looked at him, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Whether it's Shi Tianchen or Xu Huan, they were all trained by you, weren't they?"

Bai Zhan paused in his heart, took a sip of his wine to cover up, and said, "In front of Director Liu, it's just a trick."

"I have observed Xu Huan's performance. His water bottle goes up and down, and his level fell to the bottom when you were in the cold war, and rebounded after you broke the ice..."

Bai Zhan was amused by his metaphor, "This is really..."

Liu Xiaoluan continued: "I don't know why, but I always feel that you are very familiar, so I want to ask you out for a chat outside of work."

"I also have the same feeling as Director Liu. How do you say it, the white head is as new as before?"

Liu Xiaoluan just clinked glasses with him silently without saying a word.

I have to admit that Liu Xiaoluan is worthy of being a genius director, and his skill in watching people is first-rate. After such a short fight, Bai Zhan could hardly sit still. He felt that the other party's eyes had seen through everything.

Liu Xiaoluan has always had a big brain, and his early screenwriters were known for their unconstrained style. If he really saw the clues, Bai Zhan would not be afraid, because he knew this old friend, but now it is different. There has been no contact for so many years. People change, just like he goes from birth to death, and then from death to life?

"I'm going to the bathroom." Bai Zhan broke the silence and stood up.

"Don't take the opportunity to escape." Liu Xiaoluan said half-jokingly.

"how could be."

In the bathroom, he washed his face with cold water and felt that the temperature on his face from the alcohol had dropped slightly. He wanted to call Shi Tianchen and ask if it was convenient for him to come, but he called out his number and quit again. , Shi Tianchen is not much less stressed than himself recently. In addition to performing arts work, he also has to take time to deal with his own business. The amount of each transaction exceeds eight figures, so he must not be careless at all. If you can't handle your personal affairs well, you won't live this life.

Back in the box again, Liu Xiaoluan was still sitting in the original position, but this time he was staring at the wine glass in a daze, not even noticing Bai Zhan's return.

Bai Zhan then quietly returned to his seat and sat down.

Time slipped by quietly, and Bai Zhan also became dazed, maybe because of the lime in his stomach, he suddenly remembered that the last night talk with Liu Xiaoluan was here last time.

That time when they were chatting and chatting, they suddenly talked about acting. Liu Xiaoluan disapproved of his acting style at that time, thinking that he was a pure experiential school, that is, using a certain characteristic of his own to get closer to the character without distinction. The advantage is that The character comes alive, but the downside is that it is difficult for the performer to separate himself from the role.

Liu Xiaoluan suggested that he combine other performance methods, such as expressionism, which is more popular in Western drama genres, which is imitation.

He still remembers his own tone at that time: "No, no, I don't like that. There is always a trace of imitation, and a real performance should make the audience think that he is the character itself, just like the relationship between people and clothes."

They were all young at that time, a cutting-edge director and an up-and-coming actor were both newcomers, but they were frivolous and did not know it. They actually talked about performing arts and argued with each other.

"So you think clothes are more important than people?"

"Clothing is the character we play. We have to adapt ourselves to it and make the clothes come alive. The expressionism is just the opposite. It requires the actors themselves to be extremely dazzling and have a surging desire for expression. No matter what clothes they wear on them His body has become his protective color, so that no matter what the role is, the brilliance will be covered by the actor's own characteristics, as a director, don't you like this?"

"So I suggest you combine the two."

Unexpectedly, this suggestion was used by the reborn him to improve Shi Tianchen's acting skills.

The result of that debate was that Liu Xiaoluan was persuaded. In the end, the other party asked him: "What role do you most want to try?"

"It's me." The young Xu Pei boasted, "I want to play myself the most, a plausible self. He is both me and not me."

"I don't understand." Liu Xiaoluan's eyes were already clouded with drunkenness, and he put his hands on his forehead: "I don't understand, what you are talking about is like a biography of a character, that will wait until you die, but it is not your turn to play the role." ..."

"As long as it's you who shoots."

"Bad luck! Bah, bah, bah—"

"Ha ha!"

"Xu Pei."

Suddenly, Liu Xiaoluan called out.

"Ah." Bai Zhan responded subconsciously, and then came back to his senses: "What did you say?"

"I suddenly thought of Xu Pei just now. I don't know why, but when I saw you, I thought of him." Liu Xiaoluan looked at him. At some point, the previous sense of confusion had dissipated, but his eyes were extremely sharp at this moment.

Bai Zhan looked away, "I heard that you and Mr. Xu were once friends."

"It's the same now." Liu Xiaoluan said, "You know, there were rumors about me and him back then."

"..." Bai Zhan kept silent in a timely manner. He shouldn't just comment on the movie star he thought was dead.

Liu Xiaoluan was still looking at him: "Did you know that after those rumors came out, Xu Pei's uncle once asked me for reputation damage fees."

"What?! What did you say?" Bai Zhan stood up abruptly, and stared at Liu Xiaoluan in disbelief. He forgot to hide it for a moment, the news came too suddenly, and he quickly sorted out the information he had just heard in his mind. Over compensation?How could he be totally ignorant?Is this true or is the other party making up?If it is true, what else did the uncle's family do behind their backs?If it is fake, is Liu Xiaoluan deceiving himself?

"What are you so excited about?"

"I……"

Bai Zhan covered his forehead with his hands, and felt that the wine he drank was pouring into his head, hitting him violently, his temples and the entire back of his head were throbbing and hurting, many thoughts stuck there, exhausted, But there was a ray of nerve that had to be tensed.

"Bai Zhan," Liu Xiaoluan stood up and walked towards him, "I have directed many actors to act, and I found that you have been acting in front of me from the very beginning. Climbing, but not so eager for quick success, you are playing yourself, why?

You are very capable and very ambitious, and you have a sense of experience that is completely inconsistent with your own experience.

After Splendid View was completed, I asked someone to check your information.

You have been unknown before, and although you are also an agent, you have made no achievements. You suddenly appeared half a year ago, and you took Shi Tianchen around to pick up plays and run around the crew like a different person.

This method of quickly improving acting skills with a large number of supporting roles is very similar to Xu Pei at the beginning.

Moreover, the time when you changed was just a few days after Xu Pei's accident.

What's more coincidental, as far as I know, the only person who has the ability to integrate acting skills into life and perfectly interpret "myself" is you, Xu Pei. "

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoluan shook his head with a wry smile: "It seems that you really don't consider me a friend anymore."

"I..." Bai Zhan felt his headache getting worse and worse, and even his vision was blurred. Every word Liu Xiaoluan said was like a sledgehammer hitting his head.

"I'm sorry." After saying these three words with difficulty, his eyes darkened.

Before he lost consciousness, he heard Liu Xiaoluan shouting in panic: "What's wrong?! I didn't give you medicine, what's wrong——"

Then, the scene became chaotic, he seemed to still hear Shi Tianchen's voice, but he didn't call him, it's so strange.
