Cheng Yan locked himself at home reading the script and the original novel.
He likes to read novels. In the past, as long as there was an original work, no matter what kind of supporting role he was playing, he would definitely finish reading the original work, let alone the leading role this time. But this time it's the leading role, the four main characters in the script are relatively evenly played, but after reading the novel, Cheng Yan immediately understood that his role is still the male supporting role. Although the length is not short, but in terms of the result—the crush on the heroine failed to achieve a positive result—it still cannot be regarded as the real hero.
Generally speaking, it is a melancholy, innocent, slightly rebellious but gentle character. Even if it is not the first male lead, it is a delicious enough role. Cheng Yan understood why Mr. Yang wanted to grab this role - this kind of role is so popular with girls and aunts.
After rereading the script several times, the lines are not difficult, and within two days Cheng Yan has already memorized quite a few lines.
Cheng Yan was lying on the sofa when the phone rang, his hands trembled, and he almost tore up the book.
It was Xia Shaoqian's special ringtone, and it was the first time it rang after setting it.
Cheng Yan hurriedly threw the book away, and waited for the bell to ring for another three or four seconds before picking it up.
"Mr. Xia."
"I heard about your starring role."
Xia Shaoqian's voice sounded even more... Cheng Yan didn't know how to describe it.
"Ah..." Cheng Yan scratched his hair, "I should have said thank you as soon as I got the news."
"Then why didn't you call me?" Xia Shaoqian's question sounded very relaxed.
Cheng Yan was at a loss for words for a while, he didn't know if Xia Shaoqian meant it as a joke, or if he really wanted to call him.
"Next time I will pay attention."
Although separated by the mobile phone, Cheng Yan immediately and strongly felt a wave of thinking - Xia Shaoqian's silence must be thinking! Cheng Yan felt a chill again.
"Don't be perfunctory." Sure enough, after silence, Xia Shaoqian's voice was a little tighter than before, "Don't be so cautious. Did Yang Shibin tell you not to contact me? Or do you like the fact that there is always a person between us?"
Cheng Yan was silent. But his silence was slander, and he was sure that Xia Shaoqian couldn't feel this kind of electric wave.
No matter whether they are separated by one person or not, the fact cannot be changed. Don't make it seem like they are in love!
He faltered a few words, promising to contact Xia Shaoqian if there was anything in the future, and only then did he muddle through this. Xia Shaoqian asked again: "What are you doing?"
Cheng Yan never fell.
If his ex-boyfriend was talking nonsense like that, he would have hung up on the phone long ago.
But the benefactor is different. The funder is the boss and must do what he likes.
In other words, he needs to cater to Xia Shaoqian's needs and act as a good lover.
Cheng Yan softly shouted in his heart, "One, two, three!"
Then say "I'm reciting lines".
"Is it difficult?"
"Memorize the lines? It's not difficult, as long as you memorize it. But it's another matter when you perform it."
"I don't understand at all."
"You know a lot more things."
After three seconds of silence, Cheng Yan took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to hear something?"
"good."
Cheng Yan suddenly felt that he was very smart, and he didn't need to use his brain to speak, as long as Xia Shaoqian got tired of reading.
He dragged through the script, selected a few lines that he thought were good, and read them out, but Xia Shaoqian listened patiently and did not interrupt him.
"I will always treat you sincerely, in my own way..." This line is Cheng Yan's favorite line, and when he said it, his voice became a little softer unconsciously.
"What method?" Xia Shaoqian said suddenly.
Cheng Yan was stunned, he didn't expect Xia Shaoqian to be listening carefully, let alone Xia Shaoqian asked the same question to the heroine.
"I will guard you silently and watch you from afar, as long as you are happy." Cheng Yan read the next lines. The artistic conception of this line is not as good as that of the novel. The answer here in the novel is "I can't say", maintaining the ambiguity from beginning to end. However, the screenwriter probably felt that it would be more exciting to say it when it was made into a TV series.
After reading such a clichéd line, Xia Shaoqian must have been disgusted! Cheng Yan thought slightly distorted.
After a brief pause, Xia Shaoqian said in a calm voice—
"As long as you stay with me."
There was a flash of lightning and thunder in Cheng Yan's heart, what is he doing! What are they doing! Let's compete to see who can say the more shameless lines!
Probably Xia Shaoqian also felt that it was too embarrassing to say this, so he cleared his throat on the other end of the phone: "Why don't you ask me what I'm doing?"
Cheng Yan immediately asked: "What is Mr. Xia doing?"
"I am in a meeting."
"A meeting?" Cheng Yan glanced at the alarm clock, it was almost 11 o'clock.
"A five-minute break in the middle of the meeting, I want to find someone to talk to and relax."
Cheng Yan suddenly felt something stung his stomach, and he asked in a low voice, "Then... are you relaxed?"
I don't know if it was his illusion, Xia Shaoqian's voice seemed to be smiling: "Yes. Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yan checked the call time, it was exactly five minutes.
He was stunned for a while, threw away the script and fell asleep on the bed with his head covered.
On the day of the development conference, Cheng Yan was put on a V-neck navy blue T-shirt, a white casual suit, paired with jeans and sneakers, and he was dressed in a refreshing and youthful way. Fangfang gritted her teeth while putting on makeup for him: "I see who said you are an old cucumber with green paint after the photo was taken today! You look much younger than that Lin Yinqi! That person is big and thick..."
Fangfang is another assistant of his, who always protects his family infinitely.
Lin Yinqi is the first male protagonist, with a relatively strong physique, shoulder width and height overall looks a bit bigger than Cheng Yan.
As for pretending to be tender, they are all uploaded more powerfully on the Internet. Originally, Cheng Yan had few diehard fans, which could not match the strength of the original fans.
"Okay, okay, don't blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." Xiao Hu stopped Fangfang, and took a silver bracelet from his bag for Cheng Yan to put on.
Cheng Yan comforted Fangfang: "Don't take what others say to your heart, we just try our best."
As soon as Fangfang left the dressing room, Xiao Hu said, "You pampered her like this before?"
Cheng Yan heard his overtones: "Before what?"
Xiao Hu shook his head: "Nothing."
Cheng Yan didn't mention it anymore. He actually understood what Xiao Hu meant—he didn't tell Fangfang how he got the role, and his attitude towards Fangfang became more and more easy-going, just because he didn't want her to be disappointed after knowing the truth.
Assistants are very mobile, and there are even fewer girls who can persist. Fangfang has been following him for the past few years. To him, she is no longer just a little assistant.
But facts are always facts, and it is only a matter of time before they are discovered.
When the four leading actors finally appeared together in front of the stage, the flashes flashed together.
Cheng Yan smiled at the reporter.
Without any self-suggestion and reminder, he smiled very naturally. He'd thought all this would weigh heavily on him, but it wasn't until he stood there that he realized that lifting his chin wasn't hard at all, and falling was not easy.
As soon as he saw Xia Shaoqian that night, he took the initiative to pounce on him and contributed the hottest time.
