In the evening, Wen Jianing still went to Su Shan's bar to sing a few songs.
He was sitting on the high stool, holding the microphone stand, his voice was a little lazy and careless, and a beam of lights above his head hit his side face, looking clean and clear.
After singing and leaving the stage, someone ordered a glass of wine to invite him to drink. Wen Jianing thanked him, but instead of drinking the wine, he pushed it aside slightly. His psychological shadow about alcohol has not passed, and he does not plan to touch it again for a short time.
Su Shan asked him, "How are you preparing?"
Wen Jianing didn't answer, he didn't even think about whether to go or not.
In fact, before this accident, Wen Jianing jokingly told his friends that if he had a chance to start over, he would still choose to become an actor and continue acting because he loves this job.
But when he really faced this day, he hesitated. The reason for hesitation was because of this body. He is not the naive and fearless age of Ke Xinhang, he understands the horror of this circle, so he will be more cautious.
Su Shan thought he was in stage fright and said, "It doesn't matter, just try it. If it doesn't work, forget it. You are only twenty years old, and you are still very young."
At the age of 20, Wen Jianing was suddenly in a trance. He was only 20 years old, and his years were still very long, and his life had just begun.
After Su Shan finished speaking, he lit a cigarette for himself.
Wen Jianing wanted to ask him for one, "Can you give me one?" He was not addicted to smoking, but occasionally he would smoke one when he was upset.
Su Shan looked at him and said, "You don't smoke, you have to cherish your voice."
Wen Jianing smiled, but did not insist.
Su Shan continued: "I have contacted my friend and said that the day after tomorrow, I will ask you to go to the TV station to find a director surnamed Chen for an interview. I will give you the phone number, and then you can go by yourself."
After finishing speaking, Su Shan asked Wen Jianing to take his mobile phone to record a phone number, and then said, "The director's surname is Chen, I remember it clearly."
Wen Jianing nodded. He looked at the phone number on his phone and said, "I see."
At the time Su Shan arranged for him, Wen Jianing still chose to go to the TV station.
In addition to strength and luck, the reason why Wen Jianing has achieved success in the entertainment industry is that he is also a person who knows how to seize opportunities. Until he really made up his mind, he felt that he should not miss an opportunity to block the path of a possible future.
Xingguang Channel is the most influential TV station in China that focuses on entertainment variety shows. Almost all celebrities promoting new albums and new movies will appear on Xingguangtai's entertainment programs. Wen Jianing naturally came here more than once in order to cooperate with the promotional film.
When he got out of the taxi, he saw a lot of media reporters guarding the entrance of the TV station, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it. However, at the same time, he remembered that these people no longer recognized him, he was just an ordinary young man.
Putting the backpack on one shoulder, Wen Jianing walked towards the TV station. When he entered the gate, he was stopped by the security guard and asked who he was looking for.
Wen Jianing didn't know the full name of Director Chen, so he took out his cell phone from his bag and called Director Chen.
Just then, a car stopped in front of the TV station.
Wen Jianing saw all the reporters crowding up in an instant, completely blocking the door of the entire TV station, and he himself was forced to the side.
Then he saw Lu Jinlang get out of the back door of the car, the security guard rushed to help him stop and remember, and he walked towards the TV station with a blank face.
A reporter asked loudly, "Mr. Lu, is it true that it is rumored that you acted in "October Fireworks"?"
Lu Jinlang didn't mean to answer. People had already entered the gate of the TV station, and all the reporters were stopped outside.
Wen Jianing was stunned when he saw Lu Jinlang's back. "October Fireworks" was the last film he was planning to start before his accident. Unexpectedly and temporarily put on hold.
Wen Jianing likes the drama "October Fireworks" very much, and is very confident that he can play the role of the male lead perfectly, but I didn't expect that it would become like this now.
Standing there for a while, until the security guard started to urge him, Wen Jianing hurriedly called Director Chen again, asked the security guard to answer the call, and put him in.
Entering the TV station building, Wen Jianing learned from the discussions of the surrounding employees that Lu Jinlang came today to shoot the last promotional video for "Voice of the Soul" before its broadcast.
Wen Jianing was called by Director Chen to a small recording studio on the seventh floor.
The full name of Director Chen is Chen Kong, and he is an assistant director of the show. He may have accepted a friend's entrustment and promised to let people try it, but he is not very optimistic about this young man named Ke Xinhang. There are too many young people dreaming of stardom.
But when Wen Jianing pushed open the door and entered, Chen Kong's eyes lit up somewhat unexpectedly.
It is said to be a singing competition, but people with good looks are more popular no matter where they go.
Chen Kong asked people to set up a camera to shoot Wen Jianing, and asked him to sing two songs.
Wen Jianing is not very good at singing acapella. His voice and intonation are good, but he is not a professional singer after all, so he is inevitably lacking in skills.
However, Director Chen seemed to think that all these could be made up for with his appearance. After asking him to sing two songs, he said that he would communicate with the director team and call Wen Jianing to inform him.
Wen Jianing thanked him and left with his bag on his back.
He doesn't care too much about the result now. What he cares about is that Lu Jinlang took over the filming of "October Fireworks". For some reason, he felt a bit sad in his heart.
If Wen Jianing really died, he would no longer exist in this world, but it would be too cruel to let him see all this with his own eyes.
Going downstairs, Wen Jianing did not leave immediately, but went around to the TV station's studio on the first floor.
At this time, Lu Jinlang was shooting a promotional video there.
There were a lot of staff around the scene, Wen Jianing didn't get too close, he didn't want to attract attention, he stood at the corner of the entrance to watch Lu Jinlang's shooting.
For Lu Jinlang, the shooting of such a small promotional film is very simple. Basically, it can be done at one time, and the director does not dare to be too critical of him.
Wen Jianing was very confused, all he thought about was "October Fireworks".
"October Fireworks" is a literary romance. The background of the story is in the 1990s. The hero and heroine fell in love with each other but they missed it because they were young.
The script is very delicate, and director Fang Wei is also a famous director who is good at shooting literary films.
After Wen Jianing got the script, he communicated with the screenwriter and director in detail. He had a lot of opinions on how to play the role and made sufficient preparations, but now he has lost this opportunity.
This kind of feeling is really bad, especially after hearing that Lu Jinlang has taken over the role, it seems that his precious things have been seized by Lu Jinlang again, and he feels a little unacceptable.
Perhaps it was the successive defeats that made him care too much about Lu Jinlang. Even if he won Lu Jinlang and won the Best Actor this time, it did not completely calm his unwillingness.
When he came back to his senses, Wen Jianing found out that the shooting had ended.
Lu Jinlang put on the jacket handed by his assistant, and walked out of the studio while drinking water.
Wen Jianing stood in the corner, wanting to wait for him to leave before going out, but when Lu Jinlang passed by him, he turned his head and glanced at him.
"Mr. Lu," Wen Jianing couldn't hold back, and when he cried out, he couldn't help but regret his irrationality.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang stopped and stood there waiting for Wen Jianing's next words.
Wen Jianing asked restrainedly and politely, "Are you going to replace Wen Jianing in "October Fireworks"?"
"Are you a reporter?" Lu Jinlang asked. He was followed by a large group of people, including his assistant, agent, and the chief director of the program group, respectfully waiting for Lu Jinlang to talk to this unidentified young man. .
Wen Jianing shook his head and found a suitable identity for himself, "No, I am a fan of Wen Jianing."
Lu Jinlang heard the words and said solemnly, "Yes, I will act."
Wen Jianing held back and didn't ask why, he was not qualified to ask Lu Jinlang why.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang said, "I will create a Jiang Zixin who is completely different from Wen Jianing. I think you can look forward to it."
Jiang Zixin is the name of the protagonist of "October Fireworks".
When Lu Jinlang said these words, everyone was a little stunned, and didn't understand why he would say such a thing to a stranger. However, Lu Jinlang didn't give them any time to be stunned. He was already walking outside, and the others quickly chased after him.
Only Wen Jianing was left to digest his words. He suddenly thought, does Lu Jinlang feel a little unwilling to lose to him this time
In the evening, Wen Jianing stood on the balcony in her pajamas to blow air.
The wind was strong, and his pajamas were blown tightly against his body, showing a thin outline. He supported his head with one hand and looked out. Although the floor here is quite high, there are all high-rise buildings around him. His vision is blocked, and he can't see any scenery.
He misses his garden villa a little, where there is a large balcony on the second floor. He will sit on the balcony at night, listening to music and reading scripts. It's a pity that the enjoyment of life will never come back.
The TV in the living room was on, and entertainment news was playing now. He heard the news that Lu Jinlang was acting in the movie "October Fireworks" again.
However, this time the host of the show commented in a gossip tone that Fang Wei's literary films have always earned good reputation for actors. Yes, but now he can only hand over Lu Jinlang to see if he can become his third best actor.
The host said so firmly, as if he was Wen Jianing himself.
Wen Jianing lowered his head and smiled bitterly, then raised his head and took a deep breath, there was still an embarrassment of being told, yes, he was not reconciled.
