The long piano sounds in the silent night, melodious and melodious, but with a touch of weirdness. At some point, a wind suddenly blew up outside, and the sound of the wind was like an omen.
Ye Sui and Shen Shu looked at each other, Xi Zhao's heart shuddered, and he said, "Come in."
The door opened, and Ye Sui and Shen Shu walked in. The further they walked in, the clearer the sound of the piano sounded in the huge house, and the weird atmosphere slowly spread.
They went to the living room, where there was a huge piano. There was no one on the piano bench, but the black and white keys were moving by themselves, and the sound of the piano was faint, even if someone came, it didn't stop.
Ye Sui saw a woman standing beside the piano. The woman had long hair, pale face, and calm eyes. It was Xi Zhao's wife, Ning Ling.
Ye Sui took a deep breath and called out, "Ning Ling?"
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of the piano stopped instantly. Ning Ling turned to look at Ye Sui. Ye Sui: "Can I have a few words with you?"
Ning Ling nodded, she knew Ye Sui and the others were outside, so she played the piano to lure them in.
Seeing Ye Sui talking to the air, Xi Zhao was shocked. Shen Shu has long been used to Ye Sui like this, and his eyes have been fixed on Ye Sui.
Ye Sui: "Do you have anything to say to him?" Ning Ling didn't answer.
"Some things can only be known after they have been said." Ye Sui looked at Ning Ling's appearance, and it was obvious that she had a lot of resentment before she died, and there was a layer of blackness on her face.
The facial features are still beautiful, but the eyes are like dead lake water.
After a while, Ning Ling opened her mouth: "Our daughter died in an accident ten years ago. This accident is our common pain..."
Both Ning Ling and Xi Zhao blamed themselves. Ning Ling finally got out of the shadows and wanted to start a normal life with Xi Zhao again, but Xi Zhao changed.
He is often on the set, even when he goes home, he is still obsessed with writing scripts, and rarely talks to Ning Ling, and the relationship between the two is getting more and more distant.
Ning Ling was angry with Xi Zhao, for the sake of work, he forgot his daughter's death, and also forgot the relationship between them.
While Ning Ling was talking, Ye Sui conveyed her words to Xi Zhao. Xi Zhao was very surprised. What Ye Sui said was all about what happened between him and Ning Ling.
It turned out that his wife had really been here all along. Xi Zhao looked at the air next to Ye Sui with a complicated expression.
When Ning Ling spoke, she didn't look at Xi Zhao at all, with hatred in her eyes.
Others say that Xi Zhao only loves movies and doesn't care about other things. She had the same thoughts as the others, their daughter died and he didn't care. She was unhappy, and he didn't care.
She wanted to see, now that she was dead, would he be so indifferent
Holding such a belief, her soul drifted back here after death. Before she died, she hated his indifference to her, but after death, this place was still the place she most wanted to return to.
Ning Ling looked at Xi Zhao, who just sat there silently all day, and soon started working again.
Speaking of this, Ning Ling cried, and she choked up and said: "Even when I die, he is so indifferent, he really doesn't love me."
Xi Zhao opened his mouth, but didn't speak.
Ning Ling said angrily, with even more blackness on her face: "I deliberately played the piano late at night, walked around on the ground in the early morning on purpose, and sometimes destroyed his manuscripts. I don't want him to live comfortably."
"Others say that this place is haunted by ghosts, so I can't live anymore. However, I have reached this point, and everyone has been scared away. Why doesn't he leave?"
Ning Ling looked at Xi Zhao coldly: "Since he doesn't love me, why does he have to act so affectionate?"
Ning Ling stopped talking, Ye Sui knew that she was waiting for Xi Zhao's explanation. In the quiet air, Xi Zhao's guilty voice sounded.
"In the past five years, I have never stopped missing you for a moment."
Ning Ling sneered.
Xi Zhao: "I blame myself for my daughter's death. I can only forget about it temporarily by putting in my work. What I didn't expect was that when I came back that day, I would hear the news of your death."
"I blame myself. It was another neglect of mine that caused you to leave. I threw myself into creation crazily and used movies to numb myself."
Xi Zhao looked at the air beside Ye Sui with a smile on his face.
"No one plays the piano, the manuscript is destroyed, everyone is afraid of this house, but I don't want to move out. Because I expect that maybe you are next to me, but I can't see you, and I can't prove it."
Ning Ling was silent and did not speak. But the blackness on her face has faded a bit.
Xi Zhao: "I'm going to shoot your biopic. You are so good. I will record your life and let everyone know how good my wife is."
"I've been writing this script for the past five years." Xi Zhao asked Ye Sui to pass the script to Ning Ling.
Ning Ling turned over, her hands trembling slightly. She always knew that Xi Zhao was writing a script, but she never bothered to see what he wrote. Because of him, the thing she once loved the most has become the thing she hates the most.
Now he told her that this script was written for her
Xi Zhao couldn't see Ning Ling clearly, and continued talking into the air with a soft voice.
"I originally thought that when I finish this movie, I will end my life, and then our family can be truly reunited."
No one knows that this biopic is the last creation of this talented director. At the same time as the film is released, there will be news of Xi Zhao's death.
He used this method to atone for his wife.
After Xi Zhao finished speaking, the air fell into silence.
Ye Sui thought silently, others said that after the death of his wife, Director Xi became more paranoid and withdrawn, he could live in a haunted house without seeing outsiders.
He didn't have a work for five years and just locked himself in the house.
There were many rumors from the outside world, but Xi Zhao didn't care about these remarks at all. He just wanted to finish the movie with his heart, and then go to accompany his dead wife.
Ye Sui sighed, because of a misunderstanding between the two of them, one lived in pain, while the other died and turned into a ghost.
Neither of them could be freed.
Ning Ling knew what Xi Zhao was thinking, and she shed tears instantly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" If you tell me clearly earlier, the misunderstanding between them will not be so deep, and they will not miss a lifetime like this.
Ye Sui saw that the blackness on Ning Ling's face had completely dissipated, revealing her true face. It's still the big star with bright aura in that movie.
It seems that her heart knot has been untied.
Xi Zhao asked, in a cautious tone: "Can you forgive me?"
Ye Sui looked at Ning Ling, but Ning Ling didn't speak, she walked to the table. Ye Sui pointed to the desk, motioning everyone to look over there.
Xi Zhao's eyes fell there, and he held his heart tightly. He didn't dare to ask for Ning Ling's forgiveness. At this moment, he saw a pen float up and stop there in the air.
Then, a blank sheet of paper was placed on the table. The white paper is spread out, the tip of the pen is facing down, and the pen falls slowly, touching the paper.
The pen stroked the paper lightly, and a few words gradually appeared on the paper.
"I never blamed you."
Xi Zhao kept watching nervously. When he saw this line of writing, he recognized it as Ning Ling's handwriting, and she forgave him.
Xi Zhao closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.
Ye Sui looked at Ning Ling, and Ning Ling kept looking at Xi Zhao, and she smiled softly.
The knot between the two was untied, Xi Zhao looked at Ye Sui, and his tone was much better than before: "Even if you can see my wife, I won't just give you the role, I want to see your wife." How's the acting?"
What Xi Zhao meant was that he had let go, but wanted to see Ye Sui's acting skills now.
Ye Sui has never acted in any movie, and the filming of "Rescue", which she successfully auditioned for, has not yet started filming, so Xi Zhao doesn't know Ye Sui's ability.
Xi Zhao opened his mouth, but his voice was a bit difficult: "I want you to act in a scene where you lose your beloved son."
Xi Zhao is talking about Ning Ling's loss of their child. Since it is an autobiography, the estrangement between Ning Ling and Xi Zhao after losing her beloved son will definitely be included in this movie.
This segment is also one of the most important for Xi Zhao and Ning Ling.
Ye Sui nodded: "Okay."
Ye Sui has never had a child, let alone lost a child, but she also has important people. Before coming to this world, she was just an orphan with no family or friends.
Now, to her, the most important person is Shen Shu.
If she lost Shen Shu and could never see him, how would she react.
Ye Sui just thought of this, and her tears flowed down. She didn't cry loudly, but shed tears with restraint, but it made people feel her despair and sadness even more.
With just a crying scene, Ye Sui satisfied Xi Zhao's always picky requirements.
And Shen Shu at the side saw Ye Sui crying, his heart throbbed suddenly, he subconsciously wanted to step forward and hug this fragile Ye Sui into his arms.
"Okay." Xi Zhao stopped.
It was only then that Shen Shu realized that he had never watched Ye Sui act, but just from the emotion that made people directly empathize with him just now, he knew that Ye Sui had already done it.
Xi Zhao smiled with little approval: "You passed."
A few days later, Xi Zhao took the initiative to contact the reporter. Everyone knew that Director Xi wanted to disclose an important news.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the major media and gossip magazines had already surrounded Xi Zhao's villa. The originally deserted and lonely streets in the West District were completely congested.
The door opened slowly, and Xi Zhao came out from inside. The camera was aimed at him, and the flash of the camera kept flashing.
"Director Xi, will there be a public selection for the actress who will play Ning Ling?"
"Director Xi, when will the filming of this movie start?"
"Director Xi, is there any new progress in the movie?"
Xi Zhao faced the camera with a solemn expression, and he announced something to the national audience: "I have found a candidate for the heroine."
What? The media present were so shocked that they couldn't hold the microphone steadily. They hadn't heard any rumors. How did they decide on the heroine
"This actor's acting skills are very good. What's even more rare is that she knows Ning Ling better than every other actress in the entertainment industry."
Xi Zhao glanced at the air beside him, as if he was looking at someone beside him, or maybe he just glanced inadvertently.
The next second, he smiled: "I believe Ning Ling will be satisfied with my choice."
The reporters held up their devices for fear of missing a minute. Xi Zhao opened his mouth and said a surprising name.
"Ye Sui."
The scene was suddenly quiet for a moment, and then more violent questions broke out.
Xi Zhao didn't answer anyone's question: "Even if Ye Sui's schedule is not enough, I will wait for her to finish shooting other movies before starting this movie."
"Because Ye Sui is the only one who can play Ning Ling well."
Pei Ning, Chang Ying and other female stars, as well as the netizens who just scolded Ye Sui a few days ago, all had an idea—
Their faces were swollen from beatings.
