Liang Sizhe couldn't explain why he stood in front of this door and eavesdropped on the speech inside.

But when he came out of the bathroom a few minutes ago, passed by this door, and heard the three words of his name and violin coming out from the mouth of someone inside at the same time, his footsteps stopped instinctively. , the two legs seemed to move uncontrollably.

He was standing outside the door, listening to the people in the room talking about him, in a tone that was either ridiculing or regretting it was none of his business.

There is a masochistic pleasure. It's as happy as he broke the neck of the violin with his own hands.

For a split second he even wished they had been harsher.

—Since the wound cannot heal, let’s tear it more thoroughly.

Inside the door, Zheng Yin opened his mouth, still in a tone that sounded very gentle at first, but when he discriminated carefully, he felt that there was no warmth: "Don't make fun of you, since there are candidates who can play the violin, what is the need to think about not playing the violin? The ones with violins? Besides, Liang Sizhe's kid, I always think his temperament is a little too unique, and sometimes he gives people a kind of aggression... or aggression? I can't tell, I don't know if you have no feeling?"

"Indeed." Others in the room responded, "It's quite eye-catching."

Zheng Yin continued: "If it is the Korean star-making industry, and he is praised as an idol, his unique temperament is undoubtedly an advantage, because it will make him very recognizable and very individual, for fans. It is also attractive. But as an actor, whether he can suppress his original temperament and integrate into other roles, especially the role of Xiaoman, I think it is difficult to say, compared to Zhang Minghan's own kind For actors with weaker temperament, I have never seen Liang Sizhe's type of actor... It would be quite risky to use him as the new star this time."

His words were analyzed objectively. After he finished speaking, the atmosphere of the previous joke in the room was diluted, and the others also came down seriously and thought carefully about the casting.

"A Yin's words make sense..." After a while, someone said, "I think it's up to the young master, Mr. Zhou's script was originally conceived because of his photos, so there should be no problem with the image. Ah, besides, with Teacher Li's personal guidance since childhood, the young master should be able to play the violin well, right? I said, Director Cao, why are you hesitating, your own son is still undecided..."

Having said this, Cao Ye suddenly realized that there is no so-called dual male protagonist at all, he and Liang Sizhe are trying the same role. They are all candidates for Xiaoman. From the day they were sent to Lanyan, they were complete competitors.

For a moment, Cao Ye felt that he had been tricked, which was very bad. Since it was a competitor, why didn't he make it clear from the beginning that he had to hide it like this

The people inside the door were waiting for Cao Xiuyuan's answer, while the two teenagers outside the door had their own ideas.

Cao Ye turned his face to look at Liang Sizhe, the other party did not show the same surprise as himself, maybe he had captured this information in the previous conversation.

Cao Ye pressed his throat and said to him in a very soft voice, "I don't know either."

Liang Sizhe didn't speak, he shook his head, not sure if he was saying "it's okay", "it's okay" or "it doesn't matter". When shaking his head, he closed his eyes for a long time, his eyelashes fell, as if he was overwhelmed by the insulting words he said earlier, so he could only close his eyelids to temporarily cover his fragile self-esteem.

Cao Ye suddenly didn't want to hear good things about himself from Cao Xiuyuan's mouth, although he had always hoped to hear a word or two of praise from Cao Xiuyuan's mouth since he was a child.

But now he was suddenly a little afraid that he would also become the weight that broke those two eyelashes, or the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Damn me, Cao Ye couldn't help shouting at Cao Xiuyuan in his heart, demeaning me, isn't he usually good at hitting me and insulting my self-esteem? Liu Adou who can't be helped, say it again.

But this time, Cao Xiuyuan uncharacteristically affirmed him in front of a roomful of people.

After a while, Cao Xiuyuan's voice came from behind the door: "Judging from this audition, Cao Ye's image and conditions are indeed more suitable."

"Only by comparison can you show your advantages. Brother Yuan should take a reassurance this time," Zheng Yin said with a smile, "By the way, let's have a meal with Xiao Ye tonight?" Maybe Cao Xiuyuan nodded, Zheng Yin said with a smile. He added, "I'll go out and talk to him first, don't let him go first."

The voice fell, footsteps came from the door, and then the door handle on the outside of the door turned. Zheng Yin's voice was close to the door and came out very close: "Can I book a place to eat in advance?"

Liang Sizhe was a little stunned. As soon as the sound of the door lock turning came, he quickly recovered. The fingers that were holding Cao Ye's wrist loosened. He turned around and walked quickly towards the bathroom. Cao Ye didn't have time to think about it, so he raised his legs and followed.

Liang Sizhe couldn't explain why he was running away, just as he couldn't explain why he just let himself overhear those insulting comments.

They stepped into the bathroom with their front feet, and Zheng Yin pushed the door on the back and walked out.

Liang Sizhe opened the door of the outermost compartment and walked in. When the door was about to close, Cao Ye squeezed in.

Zheng Yin obviously heard the hurried footsteps in the corridor just now, and after a few seconds, he walked in quickly.

"Cao Ye?" he asked tentatively outside the door.

In the cramped space, two teenagers stood face to face.

The distance was very close, and Cao Ye saw Liang Sizhe's Adam's apple rolling up and down. At that moment, the air was quiet, and even the subtle swallowing sound could be heard very clearly. He knew that it was an involuntary reaction when people were nervous.

He noticed that Liang Sizhe's complexion was extremely poor. It was as white as a piece of fragile paper that could be broken with a single poke. The two drooping eyelashes were as thick and black as ink, and they were trembling very lightly.

He suddenly realized that Liang Sizhe's self-esteem at this moment is like this moment of silence, which can be easily destroyed. That mixed fragile self-esteem made him involuntarily let go of his breath.

Without getting a response, Zheng Yin asked outside again, "Cao Ye, are you inside?"

As soon as he spoke, the anger that Cao Ye was holding in his chest burned up, not only Zheng Yin, but also the few people who were in the room just now—damn, what are you doing? What kind of guy is he

For a time, he couldn't bear to reach out and open the door. When he walked out, Liang Sizhe looked up at him in astonishment. The panic in his eyes was fleeting, and the content that finally stayed in it was Cao Ye. Forget it, whatever it is."

"What are you urging?" Cao Ye walked out and closed the door of the compartment with his backhand, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, "I'm peeing, you want me to take care of it."

"Then you should respond anyway. I'm not afraid that you will leave first?" Zheng Yin coaxed him and glanced at the closed door, "Just you? Where's Liang Sizhe?"

"Going out to buy water." Cao Ye looked a little unhappy, "Uncle Yin, you are so unkind, don't tell me anything." After speaking, he pushed Zheng Yin's back out of the bathroom and took him from the bathroom. Spread here.

The footsteps and human voices drifted away. In the compartment, Liang Sizhe stared at the void for a while, and after a while, he closed his eyes and his Adam's apple rolled again.

"I didn't tell you what?" Zheng Yin asked him after leaving the bathroom.

"With so many people coming to try a role, what are you talking about that is tailor-made for me, blah blah blah... And I've read the script, the protagonist obviously grew up in a bathhouse, how is it similar to me? You and Sister Zhou Ru both think I look like the son of the proprietress of the bathhouse, so I'll call my mother at night and tell my mother to go... "

"It's my fault that I conveyed the wrong information," Zheng Yin explained with a smile, "you gave Zhou Ru inspiration, it's not really a prototype, it's not a tailor-made script, but this script was born because of you. No one can deny the point... Also, your dad picked a few people to audition, but to tell you the truth, they are just here to play soy sauce, there is no drama."

"What about Zhang Minghan? Zhang Minghan didn't even play?"

"Zhang Minghan... Generally speaking, your dad wouldn't use the same newcomer twice, so he really doesn't have much drama." Zheng Yin told the truth.

"What about Liang Sizhe? You brought him so far and let us live in that crappy place. He's not even playing?"

"Liang Sizhe... It was supposed to have some competitiveness. After all, it was your dad who picked him at a glance, but after today's audition, everyone felt that he might not be suitable for this role, or rather, not suitable for being an actor." Zheng Yin thought he was worried about his chance being taken away by others, so he patted his shoulder and reassured, "Don't worry, as long as you read the script well and don't go wrong in the next audition, this role will definitely be yours."

"You guys are really unkind," Cao Ye stopped, frowning at him, "bring people here from such a far place, leaving them in such a poor environment, and having people put their clothes on during the audition. It's all taken off, and it's gone without the last hope?"

"Xiao Ye," Zheng Yin smiled helplessly, "I really can't bear to say that you are naive. Instead of worrying about yourself, you are making trouble for others."

Cao Ye looked bad: "It was originally..."

Zheng Yin shook his head with a wry smile: "Let me tell you so, for an ordinary person without any resources, being the lead candidate chosen by Director Cao Xiuyuan may already be the most memorable highlight in his future life. It's time, you think everyone is like you, and they are born with the aura of the protagonist..." After a pause, he looked at Cao Ye and sighed, "So Xiao Ye, you must seize the opportunity when you have it. ."

Zheng Yin made Cao Ye not drink this poisonous chicken soup, turned his face away from him, and clearly conveyed that he would not eat this.

Zheng Yin didn't intend to talk to him too much, and changed the subject: "By the way, I didn't come to tell you this, your dad just asked me to stop you and told me not to let you go, Let's have a meal with the three of us tonight, okay? What do you want to eat?"

"My dad won't let you come out and call me," Cao Ye saw through him at a glance, facing him, but he stepped back step by step, and walked out of the theater, "and I don't want to have dinner with you at night."

"Don't be willful." Zheng Yin stepped forward and tried to hold him.

But at the moment when he was about to catch up, Cao Ye turned around, raised his legs and ran. He ran as fast as the wind. The hem of his T-shirt was pulled up by the wind, revealing a narrow waistline. He ran past several studio shooting venues, leaving Zheng Yin far behind.

"Where are you going?" Zheng Yin asked loudly behind him, unable to catch up with him.

Cao Ye raised one arm high, waved his back to him twice, and the voice came from a distance: "It's none of your business!"

Zheng Yin looked at Cao Ye's back and sighed, stood there for a moment, panting, turned around and walked back to the studio, turning into the corridor.

He wants to talk to Liang Sizhe.

He knew that Liang Sizhe was in the bathroom stall just now, and he also knew that he heard the conversation in the house.
