"Next, Fang Lin."
The door ahead opened and closed.
The living room on the 25th floor of the Fair Hotel in S City, the scene of the first audition for the new drama "Gentle Moonlight". The actors sat in the waiting area and waited, and then they were called in by each audition room to audition in order.
This is a TV series adapted from the popular Internet IP two years ago. Although the overall appearance is a bit routine, due to the popularity of the work and the emphasis of the producer, it has attracted a lot of attention since the project was established.
It's getting late, the audition for the protagonist has already ended, and there are only a few people left for the male number three audition.
The person whose name was called stood up from his seat. Compared with the two colleagues beside him who were still silently repeating lines and their faces were tense, his expression looked very relaxed, as if he had no burden at all. If you don't feel it elsewhere, in the eyes of the few people at this moment, it becomes a kind of complete self-confidence.
This has to be understood as what kind of role, can be so sure
Naturally, Fang Lin didn't know the psychology of the bystanders. He walked in openly and bowed to the people inside. The casting director held his information in his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Let's get started."
The name of the male number three character is Jing Chuan, who is the younger brother of the heroine's childhood sweetheart. He also had some young love for the heroine Ji Haiyao, but unfortunately he left in a hurry without saying anything. Some book fans once commented that he is a more face-like character in the whole book. He is short in length, not specific enough in character design, and has no reasonable reason to like the heroine. The screenwriter once promised to make the whole story fuller, and some people speculate whether Jing Chuan will add some scenes.
There are two audition clips selected. Part A has more lines and more intense conflicts. It is the last time Jing Chuan saw Ji Haiyao before he became an adult. With timid throbbing, she first questioned in a low voice with tears in her eyes, and finally said goodbye to the heroine with a heart that was ashamed. Most of the auditionees chose this - after all, in the first audition without makeup, it is easier to show acting skills or personal strength in section A.
Therefore, when Fang Lin started to perform segment B, which almost no one chose today, the director, who had been expressionless in the middle, raised his eyebrows and raised his glasses with his right hand.
The plot of Part B is very simple. Jing Chuan met the heroine by chance after five years away, and Ji Haiyao was standing beside a strange man. The book does not describe in detail what has happened to Jing Chuan these years, it simply states that he has long since let go, and the heroine has no idea of Jing Chuan's past feelings at all, talking to him like she did to her younger brother many times, Jing Chuan also smiled lightly He said, long time no see.
The plot of this paragraph is not long, there is no big opening and closing emotions, and there are only a few lines.
Fang Lin dressed very simply today, with his hair just scratched casually. There was no deliberate description of Jing Chuan's appearance in the original book, but when he walked over, he had a clean and clear demeanor, which would not give people a sense of abruptness.
"Sister Yaoyao." Fang Lin opened his mouth and took the initiative to say hello. Because there was no one in the scene, he approached two steps generously, and then silently calculated the length of the lines in the scene of the opponent. After a few seconds, he even bent down slightly and squinted. He closed his eyes, waiting for the heroine to stand on tiptoe and pat his hair lightly like many years ago, then straightened up again, raised his eyes, and waved and smiled at the air in front of him.
"—Long time no see, I'm back."
Segment B is very short, and the performance will be over after Fang Lin finishes speaking this line.
There is still a smile on the corner of his lips, he looks free and easy, as if the past is really like a cloud on paper, he will remember it, but will not be disturbed by it again.
The other party politely asked him to go back and wait for news.
Because they came out so fast, when Fang Lin opened the door and walked out, the others couldn't help but look up.
He was as calm and calm as when he entered, and politely greeted the rest of the people, saying that he was leaving first. There was no change in mood either. I don't know if it was too fast or I didn't care about this audition at all.
When he walked a little farther, one of the little star's assistants looked at his back and leaned over and whispered: "His name is... Fang Lin, right? Is there anything he can do? How do I think he is so confident, even There’s a feeling that this role belongs to him.”
The little star also responded in a low voice: "It doesn't seem to be. I don't have any impression. If there is a work, I won't come to try the male number three. Let's wait until now."
"That's right." The assistant nodded seriously, "I was bluffed by his momentum, and I almost thought that this role was decided by him."
"Don't say such things." Little Star glanced at the assistant, and stopped talking about the convenience.
Fang Lin left the living room and called Tao Le, who said he was late because of traffic jam. He wasn't in a hurry, he just didn't have a meal, so he told him to go to the restaurant of the hotel to have something to eat first.
Assistant Tao Le heard that he didn't mention anything about the audition just now on the phone, so he paused and said: "Okay, then you... eat well, don't just eat grass with your body in mind."
Fang Lin gave a "hmm", and Tao Le said cautiously: "Be in a better mood, don't take the audition matter to heart."
Hearing what Tao Le said, Fang Lin couldn't help laughing as he walked through the cold corridor with cold colors.
Seeing him smile, Tao Le was startled for a moment, thinking that Fang Lin must have been stimulated by some kind of stimulation in the audition, and quickly said: "Don't think too much! It's what Brother Xia said, be normal!"
Fang Lin was a little helpless, but the smile on his lips didn't fade away, just like he performed to "Ji Haiyao" in the audition room just now: "Don't worry."
He really didn't take the audition to heart.
Because he already knew the end—
In short, he was born again.
Fang Lin is not from a professional background, but he has been working diligently and hard since he entered the circle. Unfortunately, as an 18th line, he doesn't even have the opportunity to be a "model worker" - after all, there are so many people in the circle, and there are only so few resources. Everyone can get what they want.
Strictly speaking, he barely experienced the taste of a small fire. At that time, in his junior year, he hadn't had a very clear idea about his future, because of his outstanding appearance, he got into the circle by mistake.
A year later, the company got him a crew that was good in every aspect, and got him a role with few roles.
Although there are few roles, the character design is very good. The audience remembered this face in a few eyes, and the popularity was once comparable to that of the hero and heroine at that time.
It's a pity that the popularity hasn't reached its peak yet. The show was directly banned because the lead actor was caught in a scandal, and the show also suffered. The rest of the content couldn't be broadcast on the Internet. It should have been getting better and better. The situation was suddenly overwhelmed.
Fang Lin had just enjoyed the feeling of being liked a little bit, but because the popularity couldn't support the rise of his net worth, he could only fall back to the waiting period of being unknown.
Therefore, he is not busy on weekdays. From time to time, he cooperates with the company's business operations, posts photos, guest appearances in variety shows, and occasionally plays supporting roles in various production crews with uneven productions. I gained some followers and readings, but it was probably because Fang Lin really didn't have any outstanding works. He had been operating on Weibo for a long time and couldn't even get a gold V.
This is the second day after his rebirth.
He opened his eyes some time after the accident, and when he regained consciousness, he found that he was not in the ward or the morgue, but returned to a few months ago, the day before he auditioned.
At first Fang Lin thought he was dreaming, but in the end he had to admit that this miraculous and unscientific thing did happen.
He really had a chance to come back to life again.
For now, all the developments are no different from the direction I was in during my lifetime.
At that time, he stayed up all night for the audition and kept trying to figure out this role with not many roles. He chose the A section that could express emotions and acting skills and practiced repeatedly. He sat nervously in the living room and waited early the next day.
The result is that, in fact, this male number three has already been internally selected by a certain starlet, and he just went through the audition like the protagonist. He mobilized his emotions in the audition room, made himself cry, tremble, and then despaired and silent. Now look back at this Everything is ridiculously sad.
Later, his contract expired, and the company was not willing to renew the contract. At that time, Fang Lin still hoped that there would be a new opportunity for him to stay. I can't even get a cameo, let alone take on a role.
In other words, I have locked myself in, and I am completely confused.
So since waking up again yesterday, it only took Fang Lin one night to fully figure it out——
He didn't want to live that life again.
It's not a denial of my hard work, but I just don't want to be so tired, I want to try to be free and easy, and I want to try not to be so tense.
Knowing that he had no chance to play, the first thing Fang Lin did when he was reborn was to directly reject the audition. It's just that he just told Tao Le about this last night, and the other party jumped up anxiously, asking him to try whatever he said. Unable to hold back this mother-in-law's mouth, Fang Lin recalled Tao Le's look of anticipation in his previous life - he seemed to want to be popular even more than himself.
So he still came today. But he didn't choose section A this time, and he didn't deliberately find a feeling.
Section B had short lines and few lines, and the last sentence "I'm back" seemed to be speaking to myself.
Yes, he is back.
This audition should be regarded as a farewell to the previous life.
As for the company, he couldn't give him any follow-up resources. Fang Lin figured that the contract period would be up soon. This time, he didn't need to waste any more time. It would be easier to terminate the contract as soon as possible.
Maybe it will be difficult in the future, but he will stop making unnecessary efforts.
Fang Lin walked into the restaurant. He had waited too long for the audition just now, and now he felt hungry after smelling everything. He first walked to the salad area habitually, and wavered again when he saw a row of fresh and tender seasonal vegetables.
He is not a person who does not get fat no matter how much he eats, so in his previous life, although he did not have many work arrangements, he still controlled his diet very self-disciplined,
After thinking about it, Fang Lin threw away the last bit of hesitation, and changed the area without looking sideways.
Sweets are the happiest and most relaxing, and the best carrier that can precipitate happiness.
But he still didn't eat too much, and after Tao Le sent a message saying that he had got off the car, he was ready to leave.
While replying to Tao Le's message, Fang Lin stayed on the screen with his fingertips for a moment, remembering that there was a very popular milk tea nearby, so he asked Tao Le to bring him a cup on the way.
Tao Le:
Fang Lin also replied to him:
Tao Le: I actually want to drink this. Are you quitting sugar
Fang Lin: Not for now.
Tao Le: Although I feel weird about you since yesterday, I somehow feel that it is a good thing.
Fang Lin jokingly replied: Because I dreamed yesterday that I died and came back to life, thinking that life is too short, I suddenly decided to treat myself better.
Tao Le: ... Oh.
Is it a good thing? Indeed.
He finished eating the last piece of chocolate cake on the plate, his body and nerves were soothed by the sugar, and then he stood up and left.
Fang Lin got off the elevator and walked through the hotel lobby filled with a faint fragrance.
Estimating the time, there are about two minutes left before Tao Le will run towards him bluffing.
Including the aromatherapy in the lobby that smelled the same as that day, discussing in a low voice with a little-known starlet passing by like me, and playing a cover of "Leaving on a jet plane" by a certain female singer...
All of them are telling a fact.
Except for himself, everything was no different from the day he remembered.
Just thinking about it, Fang Lin let out a breath, stretched out his hand and opened the door—
Suddenly, someone bumped into his field of vision, someone who would never have appeared here that day.
The man was standing outside the door in a straight black suit, and the person beside him was about to bend down and reach out to open the door for him. He is tall and stands very close to him. He is exquisite in everything from bow tie to leather shoes. He has deep eyebrows and clean jawline. There was a red glow in the overcast sky.
The lingering smoke rose up, and the man noticed Fang Lin, so he moved his hand a little away, gentlemanly to prevent him from getting the smell of smoke, although his movements were sloppy, there was an inadvertently dignified air about him.
The smoke was picked away by his movements, so the two looked at each other.
If everything just said is the same as this day in the previous life, then the person standing in front of him at this moment is all the expected accidents.
Just as he was about to pass by, Fang Lin heard the man suddenly speak.
"Fang Lin." The other party called his name with a low voice, and the smell of tobacco on his fingertips dissipated a little, but it was not strong.
"Do you want the role you just auditioned for?"
