On the eve of the release of the idol romance drama he filmed earlier, Chi Ruanfan also selected a new script.
Wen Xi, a senior agent arranged by Chenxing, came to the villa to confirm the script.
"The King's Guards 2?"
Wen Xi saw the words on the script and said with a smile, "Jinzhu's coming-of-age drama is the first in the Jinyiwei series. It's really nostalgic."
Chi Ruanfan also misses it very much.
"The Imperial Guards" was the opportunity for Chi Ruanfan to fall in love with Jinzhu, and it was also his regret.
Due to Jinzhu's retirement, the second season of The Imperial Guards has not started filming yet.
Later, when preparations for filming began, the actor who played the role of the commander of the Imperial Guards was replaced, and the original feeling was no longer there.
In his previous life, Chi Ruanfan did not audition for this drama because of Jinzhu’s unspoken rule incident.
Now he wants to try it.
Wen Xi asked: "Xiao Chi, do you want to play the male lead as the commander?"
The protagonist of each series of Jin Yi Wei is different. The protagonist of the first series is the commander, and the protagonist of the second series is the commander's adopted son.
will definitely give the best performance, everyone would choose this option.
Wen Xi asked this question purely because she had coached Jinzhu before and had a special feeling for the role of the Jinyiwei commander played by Jinzhu.
"Neither," Chi Ruanfan said, "I want to audition for the role of the Demon Cult leader."
"Playing a villain?"
Wen Xi read the script and immediately recalled the biggest villain in the second part of Jin Yi Wei.
This villain runs through the whole play, under the watchful eyes of the Jinyiwei. He is active from the beginning to the end, and has some rivalry with the commander of the Jinyiwei. He is considered a good character.
The only problem is that this villain is dressed as a woman for most of the show.
Wen Xi looked Chi Ruanfan up and down.
Chi Ruanfan had a handsome face, so he had no problem getting through with the help of makeup, and his figure could also be modified with clothes.
It is difficult to act in a feminine posture. If you don't act well, it will become very weird.
Jinzhu gave the choice to Chi Ruanfan, and Wenxi didn't say much, just confirmed again:
"Have you decided?"
"It's decided." Chi Ruanfan likes challenging roles.
I had been acting for more than ten years in my previous life, and I had played all the common types of roles. There was no freshness in them.
Moreover, he is now being supported by someone and has no worries about food and drink. He only needs to concentrate on acting, and of course he has to choose interesting ones.
"Okay, I'll go talk to the company."
Wen Xi stood up and prepared to leave, but Chi Ruanfan stopped her.
"Sister Wenxi, are these scripts all from Morning Star?"
Chi Ruanfan spread out another stack of scripts on the table.
These are all the plays he performed in his previous life.
All scripts have the Morning Star Entertainment logo.
"Yes." Wen Xi smiled and said, "If there is a drama or role you like, just tell me. Morning Star's dramas always give priority to their own artists. If there are really no suitable actors, they will hold open auditions."
Chi Ruanfan's fingers on the script curled slightly, "Are you telling the truth?"
There was no such content in his memory of his previous life.
All roles in the play, from the leading role to the minor roles, are cast through open auditions.
There was no priority given to Morning Star artists. He had competed with Morning Star artists for several roles, and he always won them in the end.
Wen Xi said: "Of course it's true."
Given Jinzhu's preference for Chi Ruanfan, it's not just casting priority; she's willing to form a crew just for him.
After Wen Xi left, Chi Ruanfan thought a lot.
He recalled that every time there were open auditions for these dramas, they were held when he had no other work arrangements and was free.
What a coincidence.
It was like... it was specially delivered to him.
He was reminded of Jinzhu's trumpet.
After it was revealed that it was Jinzhu's secondary account, he followed that account using his own private account.
That account would post content related to him every day, and occasionally, it would also post some ambiguous sentences.
Every time after posting, I would delete it quickly, as if I had accidentally sent my daily life content to the wrong account.
Chi Ruanfan remembered a sentence he had seen once before.
"I want to present all the good things to you, but I can't do that because it will scare you. I can only separate them and present them to you in various ways.
"You are as sensitive as a hedgehog, with your spikes erected, driving away everything related to me.
"But I really want to hug you."
This... isn't it talking about him
Chi Ruanfan placed his hands on the table and lowered his head.
Is he crazy, or is Jinzhu crazy
Is this a career fan
I just want to watch you act, nothing else.
Oh, he wanted to hug him.
Chi Ruanfan took out his cell phone and for some unknown reason sent a message to Jinzhu.
"Where are you."
Jinzhu's news came back very quickly.
"at home."
"What's the matter?"
Chi Ruanfan looked at the screen but couldn't answer.
Nothing happened to him.
He just found out that in his previous life someone had been giving him resources without asking for anything from him, or even letting him know.
"Is your stomach feeling uncomfortable again?" Jinzhu asked.
Chi Ruanfan was thinking about how to respond.
It's not sad, but he needs a reason to find the other person.
His finger hovered over the screen for a long time.
He didn't know why he was looking for Jinzhu.
bite-
The doorbell rang.
Chi Ruanfan thought it was his agent who had returned, but when he opened the synchronized monitoring app, he saw Jinzhu.
Didn't he say he was at home? How come he was here in just a few minutes
Chi Ruanfan walked over and opened the door.
Jinzhu, who was outside the door, was wearing a gray shirt and a black casual suit. When he saw him appear, he looked at him with worry and checked him anxiously.
Chi Ruanfan noticed that Jinzhu's breathing was still a little heavy, as if she had just run over.
Run over here... Jinzhu lives nearby
This realization surprised Chi Ruanfan.
This is a well-known wealthy area in S City. It is reasonable for Jinzhu to have one or two villas here.
"You have stomach upset? I'll take you to the hospital."
Jinzhu stretched out her hand, wanting to support Chi Ruanfan, but stopped just before touching Chi Ruanfan's arm.
Chi Ruanfan noticed Jinzhu's pause.
Ever since that day, Jinzhu had intentionally kept a physical distance from him, not daring to even touch his hair.
"No, I'm in good health."
It's hard not to be nice when you're being fed by someone every day and being watched over by someone while you eat three meals a day.
Jinzhu was relieved, "Then, Xiaoruan, why did you come to me?"
Chi Ruanfan met Jinzhu's slightly puzzled eyes, and his brain worked rapidly.
"I've chosen the script, and I'm looking for you... to practice with me, so I don't fail the audition."
As smart as he is.
It's normal for young artists to lack confidence in facing an inevitable big production like "The King's Guards 2" and seek help from former movie stars to work on the script and characters.
Chi Ruanfan thought so and invited Jinzhu in.
Jinzhu didn't move, she just stood there and said soothingly, "Don't worry, you won't fail the audition."
The crew was specially formed for Chi Ruanfan. He didn't even need to audition and was directly selected.
Chi Ruanfan: "But I'm still worried, President Jin, please practice with me."
When has he, who has already been crowned the best actor, ever said such a thing
Chi Ruanfan avoided Jinzhu's sight and walked into the house.
There was still something between him and Jinzhu. The treatment he received in the elevator at the beginning was a hurdle that he couldn't get over.
He no longer rejects Jinzhu as he did before.
The hedgehog tried to retract its spikes, giving the other person a chance to get closer.
Jinzhu frowned and opened his lips to say something, but saw that Chi Ruanfan had turned and left. He hesitated for a moment and followed him in.
“This play.”
Chi Ruanfan handed the script to Jinzhu, and when he took his hand back, his fingers unconsciously grabbed his sleeve.
He was actually a little nervous, because was this a series that Jinzhu had acted in
But he didn't choose the script for Jinzhu, he wanted to challenge the role of the leader.
"The King's Guards 2", Jinzhu's eyes moved slightly as his sight swept across the words on the cover.
Noticing Jinzhu's silence, Chi Ruanfan blinked and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Jinzhu closed his eyes, put down the script, and said:
"I'm sorry, but I probably can't help you with the acting part. Can I ask a few actors to practice with you?"
"Why?" Chi Ruanfan leaned forward slightly and raised his voice unconsciously.
Jinzhu met Chi Ruanfan's gaze, pursed her lips, and whispered:
“I can’t act anymore.”
"Can't act?" Chi Ruanfan frowned slightly, doubting this statement.
How could Jinzhu not be able to act? He is an award-winning actor.
Chi Ruanfan still remembers the classic roles played by Jinzhu. Every character seemed alive. Jinzhu turned herself into them and brought them into this world.
He loved Jinzhu's plays very much. He had watched them fascinatedly on countless quiet nights. He followed Jinzhu into the play and experienced everything that the other person experienced.
While his roommate was watching R-rated movies, he was watching Jinzhu's movies.
His roommate asked him if he could feel good watching Jinzhu's movies, he nodded and said that as long as Jinzhu in the movie could feel good, he could too.
Of course, Jinzhu has never shot that kind of scene.
Jinzhu pursed her lips and explained:
“My way of acting is immersive performance. Once I am completely immersed in the role, it is difficult to get out of it.
"After I finished Obsession... I couldn't get into acting anymore."
"So, you're quitting?" Chi Ruanfan asked in a low voice.
"Obsession" is Jinzhu's last drama after retiring from the entertainment industry.
The emotions of the main actors in the whole play fluctuate greatly. Non-immersive performances cannot bring out such real emotions, and immersive performances are too harmful to the body.
"Yes." Jinzhu said.
It took him half a year to get over the play, as the drama took a huge toll on him emotionally. He became much more indifferent, unable to resonate with many emotions, and could not get into the play no matter what.
He can just enjoy movies, watch them with indifference, and judge whether they are good or bad.
But I couldn't feel the emotions in the movie.
There seemed to be an invisible and intangible barrier between him and this world.
Until... he met Chi Ruanfan.
Chi Ruanfan's performance allows him to see a "live" character for the first time, allowing him to see the world of the play and feel the characters' joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
Even in real life, he would be affected by the other person's emotions.
