State of Mind

Chapter 2: 2. Star (1)

Views:

The lights dimmed suddenly, and suddenly a group of people swarmed into the huge restaurant. The headed man was about forty years old, with a peaked cap and sunglasses, deep brows and vicissitudes of life on his face. He rushed to the Murong Kai man and shook his head: "No, this attitude is not right, Chen Kai, how can you use such a contemptuous attitude if you want to show your affection for the heroine? Do you love someone so silly?"

When these words were spoken, the makeup artists who were applying makeup to the celebrity next to each other glanced at each other and stretched out their tongues-it turns out that the real name of the star acting as Murong Kai is Chen Kai, and he is the most popular first-line star. It is said that the acting fee is high. Hundreds of millions, the average director speaks three points short to this, and only an old director like Director Ma can bluntly reprimand, and I don't know if this big star will be angry.

Sure enough, seeing Chen Kai frowned, he seemed to be a little unwilling, waved his hand to let the makeup artists step aside, and said, "Director Ma, with these words, you can't be lighthearted when you show affection?"

"No." Director Ma is serious about art. Seeing the actor scolded himself, he pinched his waist and said solemnly: "Love someone, it must be heavy and deep, and it will never be as easy and natural as you."

When Chen Kai heard this, his face was sullen and he didn't say a word. People around him didn't see well, so he hurried to find his manager Yang Ling.

Yang Ling is a big fat man. Hearing that the director here was arguing with Chen Kai, he quickly ran out of breath and pushed Chen Kai: "Director Ma is an old director, only an internationally renowned director. Whatever people say is what you say. Follow along and learn."

"It's not a matter of learning, it's that I didn't invest at all." When Director Ma heard Yang Ling's words, he seemed to have found a vent, and a machine gun like a shuttle to vent all the dissatisfaction of the past few days: "Xiao Yang, I know Chen Kaihong, touch It's good and suitable for the corner. These are all advantages, but his biggest shortcoming is that he doesn't care about it, you know? Not care about it!"

When Yang Ling heard this, he looked up and saw so many people watching from the crew. He couldn't help but couldn't get off the stage. He blushed and explained: "Why don't you feel good about it, Director Ma, look at what you said, our family Akai has forgotten the lines. , Or don’t come to work on time?"

This is a bit serious. The assistant director next to him secretly pulled Director Ma’s arm, which seemed to imply that Director Ma hurriedly withdrew. However, Director Ma’s face was solemn and he did not give in at all, saying: “That’s not true, Chen Kai, as an actor, should I did everything, I really don’t have any problems with this, but..."

At this point, Director Ma pointed to his head and said, "His soul is not here, you know? The soul is not here."

"Pouch."

When these words were spoken, Chen Kai, who was already gloomy on the side, couldn't help but laugh, and someone beside him couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Ling didn't dare to laugh, he just sneered: "Director Ma, you are a great director, so you have to give more pointers and advices. What kind of soulless, we are not professional in art, and we don't know what this is?"

Seeing everyone smirking, Director Ma looked down at Chen Kai again, and suddenly sighed, muttering: "Obviously he is a good seedling, but it's a pity that you are serious about everything, forget it."

He seemed to have compromised, and he only turned around and told Chen Kai: "Since you don't admit it, I won't say anything. I mean, as long as you show affection, you understand? Have you ever loved someone seriously? Love someone. At times, I will never be scornful, Chen Kai, love is a very important thing, and it is definitely not a fun to pick up casually. In this play, the male protagonist loves the female protagonist deeply, and he can’t help himself. I watch Zhang Li acted It’s very good, but on your side, cough cough, be more serious, you know?"

"Got it."

Chen Kai stood up impatiently, pushed everyone away, went straight to his dressing room, entered the door, locked it, and sat down in the dressing room, took out a box of cigarettes, pulled out one, and threw it in mid-air. Suddenly grabbed it, tucked it in his mouth and tapped it, and after a while, it rose up, the room was full of smoke and the smell of nicotine.

love…

When Chen Kai remembered the word, he tilted Erlang's legs and leaned on the recliner and shook it, with a contemptuous smile on the corners of his mouth.

"Love, love", his mother kept this word on her lips every day. From novel to adult, he almost vomited, but he couldn't bear to listen, because this was his mother's sex-his mother was his Regal father’s junior, oh, no, it should be junior. If it weren’t for singing "True Love First" every day, I'm afraid that romantic father would have forgotten it in the corner of the corner. My mother seemed to know this well, so she played Qiong Yaobai every day. Lotus, always "love and love", made him sick from childhood to adulthood.

After growing up, his ambition was to continue to study engineering, but because his father was a predator of the film and television group, in order to share family assets, his mother forced him to become an actor, hoping to gradually penetrate the film and television company through the "star route", and finally master Some film and television company resources, he originally refused, but he couldn't reach his mother crying and hanging himself, so he could only bite the bullet and agreed. What can be done? I never liked my mother’s piety, but it was his mother, the mother who gave birth to him, and the mother’s words are not unreasonable. At my age, if I can’t grab resources from my father’s family, I’m afraid I’ll be bullied to death in the future. Now, although wealth and money are not so rare, they are indispensable. Isn't he a layman

Chen Kai raised his head, blowing out white clouds of soot, watching the white circles rise to the sky little by little, hahaha, he hadn't seen it anyway, and didn't want to see it.

"Pump, pedal,"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Kai was irritated and said: "If you don't see it, you won't see anyone."

"It's me, Yang Ling." The voice of the manager Yang Ling outside.

Chen Kai closed his eyes, pretended not to hear, and continued to blow his smoke ring bubbles.

"Chen Kai, open the door, open the door quickly, don't mess around, be serious." Yang Ling raised his voice, with a somewhat compelling taste.

Yang Ling is the most powerful agent in the circle, and his father’s top card. It was his mother who finally grabbed the "auxiliary assistant". He had to give up this face. Chen Kai sighed, and put his cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on his foot, and walked to the door. The front door opened, and he sat down on the recliner again, with his hands resting on the back of his neck, and said impatiently: "Are you still going to haunt the old man? I've heard enough."

Yang Ling groaned: "Do you know what position Ma is leading? He is an international director, who specializes in making art films. Come and shoot this kind of Mary Su dog drama. It’s not at the expense of my face? You’ve taken your position in vain, you What is your attitude? If you continue to do this, I will tell the fourth wife to go."

The fourth wife is Chen Kai's mother, and Yang Ling is a subordinate of the Chen family. Generally, "self-family" will use this name.

Chen Kai frowned, suddenly a little impatient, grabbed the hat on the dressing table and put it on, saying that he didn't want to listen anymore.

Yang Ling looked at him and shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand and took out a letterhead from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Chen Kai squinted at the letter from the brim of his hat, and suddenly "poofed" with a smile: "Which fan's? You still use such old-fashioned methods?" Who are the fans who write letters now? How low.

Yang Ling said solemnly: "Not an outside fan, but a technician from the special effects team of the crew, named Wang Kui."

When Chen Kai heard this, he impatiently covered his face with his hat, but Yang Ling grabbed him, who knew it.

"Hey hey." Chen Kai stretched out his hand and said, "What are you doing?"

"You have to read this letter." Yang Ling put the letter in front of Chen Kai's eyes, with a serious expression on his face.

"Why?" Chen Kai scratched his head: "Is she your relative? Sister Yang?"

Yang Ling put the hat on his back and snorted: "It would be great if it were my relatives. They are the core personnel of special effects technology. They are specially invited by the producer for a lot of money. It is said that the most advanced technology can be used." Then, his face changed, he suddenly bent down and asked in a low voice: "Have you heard of AI technology?"

"What?" Chen Kai couldn't figure it out. What does a fan letter have to do with what technology

"It is said that now..." Yang Ling's voice became lower and lower, like a spy connector, close to Chen Kai's ear: "It is said that there is a technological innovation in the entertainment industry, called the AI revolution, which seems to be able to change the face of the crew. Become anyone’s face, and can get people into the game or something, it’s amazing!"

"What is it?" Chen Kai was confused when he heard it, and felt Yang Ling pressed against his face breathlessly. The oil on that fat face was almost wiped to his face, flashed hurriedly, frowned and said: "What are you talking about? , Sister Yang, don't understand."

"I don't quite understand either." Yang Ling shrugged and said, "It was made by the producer. They said they had hired a special effects team. They used the latest technological revolution. It was said to be very powerful. So, in fact, Ma You don’t need to be too demanding. I guess if you can’t get there, the special effects can also be done for you.”

"That's not enough." Chen Kai sighed when he heard this, patted his chest and said, "If there is such a cheap thing, you said it earlier."

Seeing his unpromising appearance, Yang Ling was so angry that he touched his forehead with a finger and said: "That's it, you can't live it away. Anyway, you have invited the big director to come, but you also learned something. You can't lean on it all day. Eat with a face..."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Chen Kai grabbed the letter on the table impatiently, covered his face, and indicated that he refused to listen anymore.

Yang Ling knew that he was nagging a lot, this one was also immune, shrugged, sighed helplessly, turned around to go out, and suddenly remembered something at the door, then turned around and said: "By the way, Akai, I will play with you today The Zhang Li who is looking for you to eat, you must be perfunctory, the gold lord behind her is not easy, even Mr. Chen can't offend him, can you hear it?" After speaking, "Pada" closed the door. .

The room finally became quiet, only the sound of footsteps outside from time to time, and the sound of soft voices, but there was silence on my own side.

Chen Kai stayed in that position for a while, the letter on his face finally couldn't stand it, and fell to the ground. He glanced to the ground subconsciously, remembering Yang Ling's instructions, and had to bend down and pick it up.

It is the kind of very old-fashioned envelope, antique, very classical, opened the seal, pulled out a letter, faintly signed by Xue Tao, pink printed and dyed, and it was a girl's font at a glance, this Someone actually used a pen to write handwriting in the beginning of the year. It was amazing. Chen Kai shrugged, took the letter and sat down again, lowered his head and read—

"If you suddenly see your idol, how would you feel

I don’t know, all I know is that today I’m going to see my idol with my own eyes, so the whole figure seems to be sleepwalking, sleepwalking, and my feet are like stepping on a somersault cloud, confused in the mist, waiting to see him , The heart is almost flying—"

scare.

Chen Kai can't stand it until he finishes it. The most unbearable thing in his life is the woman who puts "love, love" on his lips all day, worse than the Mary Su dog drama he just played. .

As I was thinking, suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?" Chen Kai said impatiently.

"It's me." The outside voice was a little strange: "Hello, Brother Chen, I am Zhang Li's assistant, Ahua."

Chen Kai rolled his eyes and didn't want to respond, but when he remembered Yang Ling's words, he could only put his legs down, tidy up his clothes, and said loudly: "Come in."

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and a mean-looking woman walked in, wearing a work uniform and heavy glasses, and smiled at Chen Kai: "Is it Brother Chen? My Ali at night I want to invite you to dinner.” As he said, he rubbed his hands and said: “I just met, it happened that Director Ma was speaking, let’s talk about the script.”

The last words suddenly became hoarse, like an ambiguous flame lit in the darkness.

Where can Chen Kai be patient with this, and casually refused: "I have a date at night and I don't have time."

"Have a date?" The assistant Ahua never thought that Chen Kai would actually refuse, his mouth grew wide, his eyes opened round, and he looked up and down Chen Kai.

Chen Kai thought of Yang Ling's words, frowned, coughed twice, and suddenly saw the love letter on the table, picked it up hurriedly, and yelled at Ahua: "This? Xiao Kui from the technical team just asked me for dinner. I agreed, huh."

Ahua raised his eyebrows contemptuously, curled the corners of his mouth, gave a faint "Oh", turned and slammed the door away.

Chen Kai sighed slightly, and suddenly he became addicted to cigarettes. He took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a "patter". The cyan flame ignited with a chuckle. He put the pink letter paper on the fire. "Through the ground", the flame ignited, and the letter was burned with raging flames. The fire was scorching. Chen Kai got closer, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it with his shoes.

The flame was dying, and finally returned to innocence.
