The school uniform that Cheng Xia wore was just given to him by the sponsor after the MV filming a few days ago. Although it was not as "washed and white" as described in the original book, he felt that putting on the school uniform to perform would make him even better. There is a sense of substitution. After all, Qin Nian's family is very poor, and they don't have many decent clothes. They wear school uniforms almost every day.
When Liu Xueyi saw the boy in school uniform, his eyes immediately became much gentler - even if he performed badly, at least his attitude was serious enough. Such a serious and hard-working newcomer gave a much better impression than those who were nervous and trembling.
Liu Xueyi said warmly, "Which scene are you preparing for?"
Cheng Xia said, "Acts 37 and 56."
Director Liu and the screenwriter next to him looked at each other - just happened to bump into Ye Mingqian just now. But that's fine. The most direct comparison can better see who is more suitable for Qin Nian's role.
Liu Xueyi nodded: "Okay, you adjust it, let's start."
Pei Shaoze was sitting on the far left, and Cheng Xia glanced at him inadvertently, which happened to meet Pei Shaoze's eyes. To Cheng Xia's surprise, Pei Shaoze was not as cold and serious as everyone described, with a frightening aura. Instead, he gave Cheng Xia a gentle nod, as if to encourage him.
Cheng Xia took a deep breath and quickly entered the state.
He lay down on the desk next to him and closed his eyes. After a while, he was woken up by the nightmare and sat up straight. He clenched his fists and tapped his head hard, only to feel a humming headache. After knocking for a while, he came back to his senses, looked around suspiciously, and realized that he was in the hospital, he immediately asked, "Qin Yue, why am I here?"
Qin Yue: "brother, you fainted last night, and I took you to the hospital."
Cheng Xia was stunned for a moment, followed by a relaxed expression of indifference, and waved his hand handsomely at his sister: "It must be because you didn't eat dinner, you don't need to make a fuss, brother is in good health."
At this time, the doctor pushed the door and came in. Cheng Xia immediately sat up straight and smiled brightly: "Doctor, can I be discharged from the hospital?"
The doctor told him about the pheromones seriously.
Cheng Xia's eyes gradually widened, and then he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, you must have read it wrong! How can I detect Omega pheromones in my body? Is there something wrong with your detector, or is there someone next door? A person named Qin Nian, you got the wrong result?"
The doctor handed him the examination report.
Cheng Xia quickly stretched out his hand, as if he had taken a page of paper from the air, and then stared at it carefully. He also used the index finger of his left hand to point to the data column for line-by-line comparison. , he finally believed the result, scratched his head in confusion, and whispered: "Differentiation is only at the age of 18, is this all right?"
He handed the test results to his sister, and touched the position of the glands on the back of his neck with his right hand: "So, Omega glands have grown on the back of my neck? Will I go through estrus in the future? Damn, it's too troublesome. Doctor, Can this thing be cut off?"
Everyone: "… "
The original author who was watching offstage almost burst out laughing.
Yes, this is the plot in the original book! Qin Nian is a very lovely person with a very optimistic attitude. After knowing that he is an Omega, he is not as excited or sad as ordinary Omegas.
Estrus or something, it's too much delay for him to work and earn money to support his sister.
The doctor was also surprised by his crazy words, and quickly said: "The gland is an important organ that secretes pheromones in the Omega body. If it is arbitrarily removed, it will affect your endocrine system and even affect your lifespan."
Cheng Xia looked up and down the doctor suspiciously, and finally, believing the other party's explanation, he scratched his hair irritably: "Can't cut? Well, then you prescribe an inhibitor for me, I have to go home to review, and I will return tomorrow. I want to take an exam." He started to pick up the infusion set on the back of his hand, and got up and got out of bed.
Sister Qin Yue hurriedly pressed him back, Cheng Xia raised her head slightly and smiled gently when she looked at her sister: "Qin Yue, don't worry about it, if it's a big deal, if I become an Omega, I'm not your brother? Look, on my face It's still the same as before, there is an extra Omega gland in the body, who can know if you don't cut it open?"
Under the strict request of the doctor and sister, Cheng Xia reluctantly sat back on the hospital bed: "But I have an exam tomorrow... Okay, listen to you, I'll call the head teacher to ask for leave, okay?"
After he finished speaking, he picked up the mobile phone in his pocket and said to the head teacher with a smile: "Teacher, I'm Qin Nian. Ahem, I have a high fever and I have to stay in the hospital for a day. I will ask for leave tomorrow. Thank you, teacher, and I will make up the slip." Then He looked at the doctor again and said solemnly: "Doctor, please give me the test results as soon as possible, and also open a few more boxes of inhibitors, thank you!"
After a while, he said again: "Qin Yue, you go to dinner, and bring back a fast food for brother by the way."
The doctor and sister went out one after another, and the ward became quiet. The smile on the boy's face gradually disappeared, and an extremely complicated emotion appeared in his eyes, doubt, disbelief, and panic and confusion that suddenly turned into an Omega.
Qin Nian, who pretended to be relaxed in front of others, actually didn't want to accept this fact. In the end, Cheng Xia exhaled softly, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself, "Omega is an Omega. If you don't tell them, life will go on as usual, but it's a little more troublesome to take the inhibitor."
As if he had finally figured it out, he smiled and lay down on the hospital bed.
At the scene, Liu Xueyi clenched his fists with excitement. He knew why he felt wrong when he saw Ye Mingqian's performance just now - Smart, Qin Nian's lively and smart, Ye Mingqian didn't perform at all!
From every action, look, to every line, Ye Mingqian played only a sunny and cheerful Qin Nian.
And what Cheng Xia interprets came out of the book - the living Qin Nian!
Liu Xueyi looked at the smiling teenager lying on the "sick bed", and even forgot to say stop in excitement.
On the contrary, Pei Shaoze nodded in appreciation and said in a low voice, "Yes, next scene."
Cheng Xia quickly got up from the "sick bed", bowed to everyone, and said earnestly: "Next is the fifty-six scenes, the scene of Qin Nian writing a diary."
In the prop bag he carried with him not only the school uniform, but also a diary, a pen and a high school math test paper.
Cheng Xia sat on the chair in front of the desk and spread out his diary.
He picked up the pen to write a few words, suddenly thought of something, frowned and crossed out what he had written, and turned the page to rewrite it. After scribbling and drawing several pages in a row, he sighed and stopped writing helplessly.
The young man first put one arm on the table and rested his head with one hand to think about his thoughts. After a while, he unknowingly changed to the posture of lying on the table in a daze. Lying on the table, this picture taken from the side, the dumb boy is so cute!
Director Liu clenched his fists tightly - this is Qin Nian, a cute little guy who is cool and handsome on the surface, but makes people feel distressed in private!
Cheng Xia was in a daze for more than ten seconds, and suddenly recovered like an electric shock.
Thinking that he liked Lu Fengyang, his ears couldn't help but turn slightly red.
The camera completely recorded his series of emotional changes. The boy with red ears quickly sat up straight, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote a line of words seriously.
Then, he tore off the page from the diary.
The boy's slender fingers flexibly folded the paper in half and then again. He flipped his fingers and folded the page into a very complicated boat in one go. The action recorded by the camera was like magic. pretty.
Liu Xueyi: "..."
Live origami
Qin Nian is an eccentric young man who can fold paper into various shapes with extremely flexible fingers!
After Cheng Xia folded the exquisite boat, he put the boat on the table, glanced at it, smiled and poked the hull with his finger, then he put away his smile, opened a paper, and began to concentrate on the problem. This time, he didn't stop writing and looked extremely serious. As a scholar, it was easy for him to solve math problems.
The people at the scene seemed to be able to imagine that under the warm light, the young man was wielding his pen like flying, and the empty questions on the test paper were filled one by one.
At the end of the scene, Cheng Xia stood up and walked to the table, bowing to everyone: "I'm done, thank you teachers."
The redness on the boy's ears gradually faded, and his expression returned to normal.
The crowd couldn't help applauding.
There was also a smile on Liu Xueyi's serious face: "Well done, have you read the original?"
Cheng Xia nodded: "Yes, I bought Teacher Lemongrass's book and read it several times."
A gentle voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Can you origami?"
It was the original author who spoke, Cheng Xia immediately looked at her and explained politely: "Because Qin Nian likes origami, I have searched for some tutorials on the Internet these days, and I just learned to fold the kind of paper boat he likes, other plants. , small animals, etc., are not skilled enough."
Lemongrass asked: "Can you show me the paper boat you folded just now? What did you write in it?"
Cheng Xia handed the folded boat to the author, and took a look at the lemongrass—
"I want to go to the same university as Lu Fengyang, and we'll be together forever." A big smiling face was drawn behind.
This is the ending of the original book, the contents of the origami that Qin Nian gave to Lu Fengyang.
Lemongrass looked at this line of small words and didn't know what to say. At that moment, she was suddenly moved, and her eyes couldn't help but heat. When she learned that her novel was going to be adapted, she was actually very nervous, afraid that Tianxuan would find someone inexplicable to destroy her favorite character.
But today, she never expected that an actor would take the fictional character "Qin Nian" so seriously.
He put on a school uniform, brought a pen and paper, and even brought a high school math test paper.
He performed Qin Nian's ambivalence that he was sunny and cheerful on the surface, but tangled and confused in private; he vividly showed Qin Nian's handsomeness and cuteness when he was in a daze, and even folded a piece of paper that Qin Nian gave to Lu Fengyang. ferry.
He is like Qin Nian who came out of a book.
Serious work, lovely sunshine, people like and make people feel distressed.
Lemongrass folded the boat into its original shape, handed it back to Cheng Xia, and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you for taking Qin Nian so seriously, Qin Nian is just a character made up by me - but today, you played him alive. "
With so many bigwigs on the scene, she shouldn't say too much. In the end, it will be the director and the investor who have the final say. But Lemongrass really couldn't help it. She looked at the boy in front of her as if she saw a character created by herself come alive in front of her.
She likes Cheng Xia's performance very much, and she is eager to make the people around her recognize Cheng Xia.
Hearing the praise from the original author, Cheng Xia bowed flattered: "Thank you, Teacher Lemongrass, I like Qin Nian very much, and I like your novel very much. It is an honor to participate in this audition."
Pei Shaoze raised his lips slightly, looked at Liu Xueyi, and asked in a low voice, "How do you feel about Director Liu?"
Liu Xueyi nodded: "It's great. Although his acting skills are a bit young, Cheng Xia's understanding of the role is so far the most suitable for the character of Qin Nian, and the live performance is also very vivid... How can I put it, this newcomer is very spiritual."
Pei Shaoze asked, "He was the last one to audition. Can Director Liu set him up?"
Liu Xueyi frowned and thought for a few seconds: "That Ye Mingqian..."
Pei Shaoze said lightly: "Ye Mingqian can play the male supporting role if he wants to. I suggest Cheng Xia for the role of Qin Nian. I am not an artist who favors Tianxuan, and Cheng Xia's performance just now is also in Director Liu's eyes - he is indeed very good. Excellent, right?"
Meeting Pei Shaoze's calm eyes, Liu Xueyi nodded decisively: "Yes, then it's settled!"
The crowd of demons dancing in the afternoon was a headache, and I thought that this time I couldn't choose a suitable actor. Cheng Xia is indeed the one with the best overall performance, and the original author also likes him very much, so Liu Xueyi has no reason to refuse.
Pei Shaoze looked up at Cheng Xia and said gently, "Cheng Xia."
Cheng Xia turned to look at President Pei, thinking anxiously, is the next sentence: go back and wait for the notice
As a result, Pei Shaoze suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand: "Welcome to join the crew of "Folding Paper"."
Cheng Xia: "???!!!"
It's settled? Can he really play Qin Nian? !
Hearing Mr. Pei's words, Cheng Xia was stunned, and the stunned expression was very cute, and the corners of Pei Shaoze's lips could not help but bend slightly: "Don't say thank you?"
Cheng Xia recovered and immediately ran over to shake hands with President Pei: "Thank you, President Pei!"
In response, there were other creators at the scene, and he continued to bow again: "Thank you Director Liu, thank the screenwriter teacher, thank the author teacher, thank you all the staff!"
Everyone around was laughing, and Lemongrass laughed the happiest, with the expression "My mother found her own son".
When Pei Shaoze held Cheng Xia's hand, he realized that there was a layer of cold sweat on the young man's palm, and the whole palm was wet. Obviously, Cheng Xia was actually very nervous just now, but he prepared for a long time and memorized the plot in the original book thoroughly, so outsiders didn't see his nervousness.
In this state, the little guy also performed seriously and brought props over. Pei Shaoze's heart softened inexplicably, and his voice was even more gentle: "After the Spring Festival, I will enter the group and start up. I will notify your manager of the specific time."
Cheng Xia nodded seriously: "Okay, then I..."
Pei Shaoze released his hand, raised his chin and looked towards the back door: "Go, go back and have a good rest and adjust your state."
Cheng Xia neatly packed up the props he brought, and bowed to the crowd again before turning around to go out.
Pei Shaoze looked at the young man's back and thought to himself, Cheng Xia, I really gave Tianxuan a face today, and I really didn't see you wrong.
