Everyone thinks that Chi Ying will be the one who develops best in the future.
No one expected that she would finally give up and disappear, without any news.
The suitors were all disappointed, but they could only sigh.
Chi Ying held her head and searched her memory, and it seemed that there was indeed such a face.
Universities hold fraternity parties every year at the beginning of the semester.
That is, the seniors in the first grade of high school will organize a party to welcome the juniors in the same department.
The format is nothing more than personal introduction, talent display, etc. For film school students, each of them is no problem.
There are also people who are uninhibited by nature and have a lot of fun. After the party, they continue to go to KTV and other places to have fun.
I can't wait to attract the flowers and plants that have just entered the ivory tower to the circle outside the tower.
In my impression, the girl with this face is quiet and well-behaved, shy and timid. It can be seen from the sorority that she doesn't fit in well with everyone.
Girls don't have a sharp personality. Although they don't have the absolute charm of a Mary Sue, they are really not annoying.
However, girls’ skin is not very good and they don’t look glamorous enough at first glance.
When I first entered college, I wasn't good at dressing myself up, so I wasn't good enough to impress others.
So Chi Ying has never connected this face in her memory with the word Shu Bai.
No wonder she wore such a thick layer of foundation today.
A few years ago, skin was an actor's appearance, and having bad skin was a flaw for being on camera.
But things are different now. Today’s TV series’ filters are never too exaggerated. The wrinkles on the grandfather’s face have disappeared without a trace, and his skin is as white and tender as an eighteen-year-old girl in her prime.
Everyone has the same skin type, but the girls who are fair and ugly suffer the consequences.
At that time, Yuan Shen felt that this little girl was not suitable for the entertainment industry.
What is even more inappropriate than the external conditions is her character.
Speaking of character, the heroine's character described in the novel is not quite the same as Shu Bai's.
But in the plot, Shu Bai became a hit in one drama. Before that, his career in acting was inevitably difficult and difficult.
Before I hugged you with thick thighs, my life and relationships were not going well, so it was difficult to escape my inferiority complex.
The book does not seem to explain the background of Shu Bai's school days. Chi Ying did not expect that Shu Bai was her direct school girl.
It could also be that she didn't pay attention to the explanation.
What I remember clearly is that the first encounter between Shu Bai and Lu Jingyan happened about a year or two later.
Seeing Chi Ying deep in thought, Shu Bai asked her cautiously, "Senior sister is also here to audition."
If someone else asked such a question, the listener would be angry.
I graduated a year early, in the same school and major, but now I am standing on the same starting line as my junior classmates. It is very embarrassing.
But Shu Bai's voice was soft and soft, and every word he spoke contained feelings of inferiority and cowardice. It makes people think that this little girl just can't speak.
Even so, you must be on guard against others.
Chi Ying smiled faintly, still distant but not indifferent.
Shu Bai also realized that he had asked a question that he knew he had asked, and lowered his head in shame.
"How are you doing, senior sister, over the years?"
Chi Ying replied leisurely, "Not bad."
There was a faint blush on Shubai's cheeks, "Did anything special happen?"
Chi Ying looked at her, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes: "What does it mean?"
"The senior sister suddenly disappeared that year. We thought that the senior sister had offended someone and was hidden in the snow."
"No la."
Shu Bai laughed softly, "That's good."
Chi Ying is unwilling to have anything to do with Shu Bai.
Auditioning is a process where you go and I stay. To put it bluntly, it is impossible for them to appear on the crew at the same time.
Chi Ying was not prepared to take today's unexpected encounter to heart, but she was more or less worried whether Shu Bai would have a strong halo as a heroine and ruin her luck as soon as she appeared.
Just as I was worried, the audition order number plates were handed out.
Shu Bai is the fifth, and Chi Ying is the last.
Chi Ying has encountered this situation before in auditions.
If a particularly suitable actor is met during the interview, the sincere director will directly call it quits, and all the contestants at the back will have to leave empty-handed.
After Shu Bai saw Chi Ying's number plate, he said "ah" and comforted her softly: "It's okay, senior sister."
Chi Ying's expression didn't change much, her lips curved slightly, "Thank you."
Shu Bai looked at Chi Ying's calm look with admiration: "Senior sister has such a good attitude."
If it were her, she would be extremely nervous.
Chi Ying smiled lightly and said, "You can do it too."
Shu Bai's assistant called her: "Bai Bai, let's go put some makeup on."
The assistant is older than Shu Bai and has a stronger aura than her, which makes the relationship between them seem awkward and weird.
Shu Bai nodded obediently.
She rubbed her hands: "Senior, I'm leaving first. I'm glad to meet you."
Chi Ying's eyes were smiling: "Come on."
After a while, Shu Bai came out with a pale face.
"The audition teacher said my performance was pretty good, but maybe he was trying to comfort me."
"The teacher said it's true, you have to believe in yourself."
When Chi Ying said this, her eyes were crooked, and there was a smile in her watery eyes, which seemed to be shining with broken light.
Her makeup is light and her complexion is translucent, seeming to embody the most beautiful look of a young woman.
Shu Bai looked a little stunned.
"Everyone's audition script is random. I heard that it is related to but also different from the supporting role in the movie. I am not suitable for performing on the spot." Shu Bai's expression darkened, "I also know that my external conditions are not special. good."
Shu Bai seemed to realize that he had spread a lot of negative emotions, so he changed the topic and asked: "Senior sister, where do you live?"
Chi Ying lived in the villa complex in the west of the city where she was a child, but she still answered, "East of the city."
"I live over there too. Can senior sister come with me?" Shu Bai was a little nervous. "I'm not famous yet. The company only assigned me an assistant and no other entourage."
"You should go back first. The audition time is very long. I have an appointment with someone later."
"Oh, okay." Shu Bai said goodbye to her politely.
The door to the audition room opened and closed again and again, and the girls entered with smiles on their faces and left with smiles on their faces.
Chi Ying waited for a long time, and finally it was her turn.
In the room, Gu Yuanchen, as the general director, sat in the middle with a solemn look on his face. The screenwriter sat in a row with the other audition teachers. After an afternoon of assessment, it is inevitable to feel tired. But even if it was just a supporting role, they never slacked off.
Everyone in Gu Yuanchen's studio is extremely sincere.
There is already a foundation of honor and wealth. For them, creating movies is just the pursuit of art, and fame and fortune are by-products.
There are very few such people in the circle, so they meet here.
"The last one is the newcomer recommended by Director Song."
"Yes."
"The agency is"
"I haven't signed a contract yet, and my resume is a bit empty. It's been two years since I graduated and I don't have any works."
"Let's see."
While they were discussing in low voices, Chi Ying walked in gracefully and calmly.
The eyes of the most unsmiling person in the room couldn't help but light up.
Chi Ying is beautiful and looks like she was born to be an actress.
The deep peach blossom eyes are soft and charming, clear and agile, and seem to be able to interpret thousands of emotions.
The bridge of the nose is straight and the philtrum is very deep. This three-dimensional facial features not only makes the profile beautiful, but also has a good camera feel.
The face is symmetrical and the skin is white, making it easy to apply makeup and not requiring much effort in post-processing.
Her makeup was very light today, and she didn't feel out of place when facing all the test questions on site.
Her body proportions also seem to have been carefully calculated by the Creator. With her vivid and colorful clothes, she will be able to play most roles without any flaws.
A teacher praised:
"She is beautiful and walks beautifully."
"He has a good temperament and a wide range of acting options."
After briefly chatting with the teachers about the basic situation, Chi Ying got her test questions.
What a coincidence, this is also a character who unfortunately died when his ideal was approaching.
The question only requires a look from the character before his death.
Chi Ying has gone through countless auditions, and has never received a script that fits her own experience so well.
Her hand holding the script trembled slightly.
The experiences of the characters in the story resonated in her chest and vibrated in her soul.
Records of past lives
Memories came flooding in, catching her off guard and she fell into her own emotions.
She was good-looking in her previous life, but she was far less stunning than she is now.
She sticks to her bottom line and doesn't have alluring looks. Even though she has devoted herself wholeheartedly to her acting career since she was a child, she has never been shy.
At the age of twenty-four, she became famous completely by accident.
An online drama that no one was optimistic about at the beginning and received very little attention was suddenly picked up by a TV station during filming, and then it was switched to star broadcasting.
As the second female lead in the play, Chi Ying plays an unlikable character.
But because of her explosive acting skills and completely flawless three-dimensional character, she unexpectedly won the favor of the audience, and her number of Weibo fans soared to one million overnight.
She began to have better resources and met more directors.
I accidentally learned that my grandmother was also an actress when she was young, but she was banned by the company due to an accident.
Perhaps her talent is inherited in her bloodline.
Chi Ying finally got the lead female role in a large-scale IP adaptation.
But just when her dream was most within reach, she fell ill.
In the pale ward, she saw many negative patients. They were haggard and mentally haggard, like withered flowers that had lost their vitality and were crumbling.
To be honest, not many people with terminal illnesses are positive and optimistic.
Ugly scars, incomplete curves that are different from other blooming girls, and day-to-day pain make them lose all attachment to the world.
At most, they put on a forced smile in front of their loved ones, leaving behind only helpless sobs.
Life is so fragile that it seems that it is never worthy of talking about ideals.
At that time, Chi Ying thought that maybe her regrets and fate were also inherited from her bloodline.
I still remember my grandmother’s skinny appearance with sunken cheeks when she passed away in my sophomore year.
Chi Ying knew that she would never have any relatives in her life, and she would never be able to repay her grandmother's kindness.
Perhaps time has diluted the bone-eroding pain, but they have turned into deeper obsessions and regrets, injected into her new spiritual island, untouched by wind and rain, and unmoving.
Chi Ying's eyes were filled with regret, helplessness, pain, and the depression and despair that shrouded all these emotions, covering her eyes like a gray curtain.
Finally, the teacher said "Okay", abruptly pulling Chi Ying out of the endless memories.
Man, if you act out someone else's story, you can remind yourself all the time that all this is just an illusion, so don't get too involved in the drama.
Once you get into your own drama, you will always get completely trapped in it accidentally and find it difficult to get out.
Chi Ying was still looking at the audition teacher in a daze and shook her head, and a few empty comments drifted into her ears.
"Not bad, the eyes are very real."
"But movies are art, and they need to be more exaggerated and tense."
“There’s a part of the emotion that can stand out more that you don’t catch.”
"But don't use too much force. I look forward to your future performance."
The teacher waved his hand and motioned for her to leave.
The famous six-dimensional space theory says that you can get to know any stranger in the world through five people. Chi Ying was skeptical at first, but she didn't expect that even a big shot like Lu Jingyan, who lived in the news, could connect with her through two or three people.
However, Chi Ying still chose to ignore it expressionlessly.
The conversation between Lu Jingyan and her at the banquet was actually unnecessary. He was communicating with his partners at the time, but for some unknown reason he stopped the conversation and stared straight at her.
When Cheng Huan blocked her in the bathroom, Lu Jingyan suddenly appeared, calling himself "just for convenience."
Just when Chi Ying vowed to avoid all banquets that Lu Jingyan might attend in the future and treat everything last night as if it had never happened, Lu Jingyan applied to add her as a WeChat friend.
If Lu Jingyan didn't discover anything, Chi Ying wouldn't believe it.
But if Lu Jingyan, who was busy with everything, would keep doing strange things like the past two days, Chi Ying didn't believe it.
Just go to sleep and let it dry.
This scumbag-like idea flashed through her mind quickly, and Chi Ying was stunned.
Chi Ying found that it was still a little early before the director's working time, so she paced to the kitchen.
He took the kitchen utensils from his aunt's hand and prepared a loving breakfast for Chi Cheng himself.
Before I knew it, it was half past seven, and it was time for the little guy to get up.
Chi Ying pushed open the door and walked in. The air in the baby room was filled with a strong scent of milk.
Chi Cheng still slept soundly, breathing very evenly.
I don't know what kind of sweet dream he was sinking into, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised a slight arc.
Looks like he's in an unexpectedly good mood
She patted him gently and said, "Chengcheng, wake up."
The little guy turned over and pulled the air conditioner quilt over his head.
Chi Ying chuckled.
"Chengcheng"
Amid his mother's call, the little guy yawned sleepily, and finally woke up and turned around.
He poked his furry little head out of the quilt, and his big black grape-like eyes were misty from just waking up one second, and the next moment they became bright because of the reflection of his mother's figure.
"Mom" Chi Cheng grinned, climbed up from the bed, and flew into her arms.
He hugged Chi Ying tightly, sticking to her body like a piece of chewing gum.
Chi Ying's eyes curled up.
She took Chi Cheng to wash up and put him into a custom-made British uniform for the kindergarten.
With the bow tie on, he looks so handsome, like a little grown-up.
Not sure if it was the school uniform that gave him a sense of mission. Chi Cheng sat upright in front of the dining table with a serious expression, waiting for his mother to bring breakfast.
When he was presented with fruit sandwiches, egg omelette bread and milk, and a cute smiling face graffitied with chocolate sauce on the cartoon plate, Chi Cheng couldn't help but smile widely and said "Wow" in surprise.
He smacked his lips and praised a few words of "delicious" from time to time.
Chi Ying said seriously: "Chengcheng, mom apologizes to you. Mom had something to do yesterday and couldn't pick you up from the kindergarten."
"Mom, there's no need to apologize." Chi Cheng, the little adult, waved his chubby little hands politely, "Grandma said that mom is very busy and hard, and Cheng Cheng understands mom."
Chi Ying felt guilty and ashamed, "But yesterday was Chengcheng's first day in kindergarten."
Have different meanings.
The little guy tilted his head, as if he didn't understand the meaning of her words.
Instead, he opened his big eyes and looked at her with a comforting look.
Chi Ying looked at her fondly, "How about taking Chengcheng to the zoo that weekend?"
"Okay." Chi Cheng's eyes flashed and he nodded.
He held his head and thought for a while, and then said: "But if mom is also very busy that day, it would be fine if Chengcheng and grandma stay together. Chengcheng also likes grandma very much."
Chi Ying was moved and even shed some tears.
The kindergarten is not far from home. It is built in a villa community and is only a ten-minute walk away.
The tuition is very high and it is an elite kindergarten.
Chi Cheng held his mother's hand and took small steps. His waist was very straight, and his clear eyes could not hide the excitement and joy.
Chi Ying found that the little guy not only had no fear of leaving home, but also seemed quite happy.
She asked, "Does Chengcheng like going to kindergarten?"
Chi Cheng looked excited and nodded without hesitation: "I like it."
The kindergarten is huge, like a castle.
There is a large swimming pool in the castle. There is no water in it, but it is filled with colorful balls.
As soon as he sat down, he was surrounded by balls.
Exactly the same as in the dream.
Chi Cheng opened up his chatterbox and rambled on about everything that happened in the kindergarten yesterday.
Chi Ying listened patiently and found that although Chi Cheng was young, his logic and organization were very clear.
It was almost time for class, and many children poured out on the road.
Hearing their sweet "Daddy's back" and "Mommy's hug" cries, Chi Cheng proudly raised his little chest.
He won't let his mother get tired, he will walk by himself.
But Chi Cheng never asked Chi Ying about her father.
At the entrance of the kindergarten, mother and son sucked on each other's cheeks like yesterday and reluctantly separated.
After returning home, Chi Ying first called Director Gu.
As expected, Gu Yuanchen said to her: "You can come to audition the day after tomorrow. The time and location will be emailed to you."
Chi Ying didn't sign a contract with an entertainment company, so naturally she didn't have an agent or assistant.
But with Chi Yu's help, she quickly accurately measured and judged the importance of the audition opportunity.
She tried every audition she was allowed to audition for.
But this scene directed by Gu will become the most important audition in her acting career.
