Shen Yuxiu and Cheng Xingfei made an appointment to meet in the afternoon of a certain weekday.
Before Shen Yuxiu returned to China, he asked someone to register his film and television studio in China in advance. He is the boss, and even his agent is working for him clewx.
The office location is in the film and television base in the east of the city. Many directors and screenwriters have registered their companies here, so that it is convenient to discuss cooperation.
As early as two months ago, Shen Yuxiu started casting for his movie, but the casting process was very mysterious. No script was given, no plot was given, only three lines were provided, and Shen Yuxiu had to play against himself.
That's right, no matter if it's a big role or a small role, whether it's a long-established old actor or an 18th-line supporting role, you have to play alone with Shen Yuxiu.
No one knows what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.
Originally, Sister P was going to accompany Cheng Xingfei to audition in person, but unfortunately, other artists under her team had some troubles, and she had to solve it herself. Sister P could only hand Cheng Xingfei to Zhuo Yi's hands, and asked him to take care of it. she.
Even though Zhuo Yi is Cheng Xingfei's bodyguard in name, his job scope covers everything, basically equivalent to an assistant.
To be honest, having such an assistant is so worry-free, he can drive and move things, and he can fight up to eight in case of danger.
Except for the higher salary, there is nothing wrong with it.
The car drove into the film and television base, where there are small townhouses one after another, each villa has a logo of a certain film and television company hanging on the door, and all the people who come in and out are handsome men and beautiful women.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office on the third floor, Shen Yuxiu watched the silver-gray commercial vehicle parked in the parking lot next to the villa. The door of the driver's cab opened first, and a man who was nearly two meters tall stepped down. He turned and walked to the back row, opened the door with one hand, and put his hand under the roof of the car to prevent the delicate passengers in the car from being injured.
A pair of beige high-heeled shoes protruded from the car and stepped lightly on the asphalt ground. The girl's figure was slim, like a graceful apricot blossom. Every gust of wind passing by her would involuntarily stop for her.
Standing beside the car, Cheng Xingfei took off her sunglasses and looked around, she felt a gaze somewhere in the dark, she looked up, and happened to see the gloomy figure in front of the window.
She smiled sweetly, waved to him, then put on her sunglasses again, and walked into the gate of the villa.
There was some confusion in Shen Yuxiu's eyes—I don't know if he was careless, but in that smile just now, he saw a different "Cheng Xingfei" from before.
When Cheng Xingfei was seated in his office, Shen Yuxiu's sense of disobedience reached its peak.
Can a person change so much
He met Process Xingfei three times in total: when they were recording a variety show, they confronted each other; at Mr. Tian's birthday banquet, she dismissed him; the last time they met was in a shopping mall, and he was amazed by her bravery and fearlessness.
But now Cheng Xingfei seems to have become another person.
The face is still the same face, the person is still the same person, but her every frown, smile, and every move are completely different from before.
If you want to describe Cheng Xingfei before, it is like a shining sun; but now Cheng Xingfei is like a bright moon.
Cheng Xingfei didn't bring his manager here today, but only brought an accompanying bodyguard. Shen Yuxiu had an impression of him. The last time they met in a shopping mall, this man was taciturn and had a strong body, with a winding scar running from his forehead, across his brow bone, and hidden between his temples.
After entering the office, the bodyguard first helped Cheng Xingfei open the chair, and then stood aside politely with his hands behind his back.
Shen Yuxiu, who originally wanted to help her pull the chair, could only stop her hand in mid-air: ""
Shen Yuxiu cleared his throat in embarrassment, and sat down opposite Cheng Xingfei.
"Miss Cheng, you haven't contacted me for so long, I thought you weren't interested in my movie."
"How could that be?" Cheng Xingfei smiled, her beautiful eyes full of sincerity, "Mr. Shen, you are my idol, and I can't wait to cooperate with you. It's a pity that I crashed into a car on the previous schedule. As soon as I'm free, I'll contact you right away."
"" Shen Yuxiu's sense of disobedience became stronger, "You have never called me Teacher Shen before, and you have never used an honorific name for me."
Cheng Xingfei didn't panic at all: "The past was the past, and the present is the present. Now you are the director, and you are my interviewer. In such a serious workplace, I should always respect you."
"You don't need to be so polite." Shen Yuxiu still felt that something was wrong, but as Cheng Xingfei said, now is a formal workplace, and the discussion of personal relationships will be postponed.
Without exchanging too many pleasantries, he took out the prepared audition clips and handed them to Cheng Xingfei.
Cheng Xingfei had long been curious about this mysterious project, so she took over the temporary script and quickly flipped through it.
The audition footage that Shen Yuxiu gave her was only a few pages, which should have been extracted from the complete script.
Oddly enough, in these three episodes, her identity is completely different. In the first story, she is a young female student studying in the Republic of China. She and her classmates took to the streets to wave flags for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War; in the second story, she turned into a sexy A sultry female killer who travels through the night city; in the third story, she transforms into a luxurious lady from a rich family
Different era backgrounds, different characters, the only thing that is the same is the name of the character.
Cheng Xingfei was at a loss looking at the three fragmented fragments, and really couldn't figure out what kind of story this was.
Shen Yuxiu only gave her 20 minutes of preparation time, and when the time was up, he immediately took away the audition script.
Cheng Xingfei asked: "Are you the only interviewer? Doesn't the screenwriter need to be there?"
Shen Yuxiu shook his head: "The screenwriter has been busy catching up on sleep recently. Before that, he had been revising the script and changed many versions."
He paused, then raised his eyes to look at her: "I think, I need to remind you——Although I invite you to audition, it doesn't mean that this role is 100% yours. Before you come, I still I’ve been in contact with several other actresses I’m interested in, and it’s a fair competition between you; only when you actually pass the interview and get the role, will I introduce the rest of the crew to you.”
His words were very blunt, but Cheng Xingfei was not angry, on the contrary, he was aroused with a rare competitive spirit.
As her popularity is getting higher and higher, she has rarely participated in "auditions". There are countless script invitations lying in Ms. P's mailbox, waiting for her to choose.
Now she has become the "picked" one, and she is eager to try and prove her ability.
She needs this opportunity - on the one hand, Shen Yuxiu was her idol when she was young, who inspired her to bravely enter this circle; on the other hand, she wants to appear on the big screen and let Lin Guodong see how wrong he is.
Cheng Xingfei gently closed his eyes, stabilized his mind, and adjusted his state.
When she opened her eyes again, hot tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, her face was full of excitement, her fists were clenched, and her body trembled slightly due to excitement—at this moment, she had become the female student in the script who was at the forefront of the trend of the times , loudly shouted the slogan in the play
Shen Yuxiu's eyes lit up slightly, and he leaned forward involuntarily.
To be able to enter the play in a second, it seems that Cheng Xingfei's acting skills are better than he imagined.
Half an hour later, the audition was over, and Shen Yuxiu personally sent Cheng Xingfei out of the office.
"Mr. Shen, no, Director Shen, please stay." Cheng Xingfei's eyes were still a little red, she was too involved in the audition just now, she shed a lot of tears, and her voice was a little hoarse.
She didn't ask Shen Yuxiu about her audition results, some things don't need to be asked, she has full confidence in her performance.
I don't know when, it started to rain lightly outside the house. Now is the season when summer and autumn alternate, the autumn rain is cold, and there is a slight chill in the air.
Cheng Xingfei's car was parked in the parking lot at the corner, and there was still some distance to walk there.
Seeing that she was dressed coolly and did not bring an umbrella, Shen Yuxiu turned around and told his subordinates: "There is an umbrella in the room, please bring one to Teacher Cheng."
"No need." The person who spoke was Zhuo Yi who had been silently following beside him. He was very quiet, and stayed with Cheng Xingfei from the beginning to the end, like a robot strictly following the program orders. While talking, Zhuo Yi took off his suit jacket and put it directly on the girl's shoulder.
The warmth of his body remained on the large and heavy coat, Cheng Xingfei was taken aback for a moment, and for some reason there was a trace of warmth on his face.
Zhuo Yi said respectfully: "Miss Cheng, you take shelter here first, and I'll go drive." After that, he stepped into the drizzle and walked to the parking lot.
A few minutes later, Zhuo Yi drove the car to the porch, and hurried down to open the door for Cheng Xingfei.
The rain wet his shoulders, and he stood upright in the rain, like a loyal soldier.
Shen Yuxiu watched the interaction between them, and felt a little weird in his heart.
When we were in the shopping mall before, Zhuo Yi and "Cheng Xingfei" talked and laughed, and even called her "His Royal Highness" jokingly, which is completely different from today's feeling.
——Some kind of strange speculation flashed through Shen Yuxiu's mind. He really wanted to catch it, but he could only watch it slip through his fingers with regret.
Cheng Xingfei was about to step into the car when she suddenly thought of something and turned around to look at the blue-eyed youth again.
"Director Shen, I almost forgot one important thing." The girl smiled sincerely, took out a small card from her handbag, and handed it to Xio Shen, "The last time I was in the shopping mall, thank you Saved me before. This is a small gift, not a respect, I hope you accept it."
Shen Yuxiu followed her words and looked down, only to see a hard card on the palm of his hand, which read——
——600 yuan shopping card for xx chain supermarket.
Shen Yuxiu: ""
He is confused. Extreme confusion.
He suspected that he had heard it wrong—how could someone highlight the supermarket shopping card: only 600 yuan was given to him as a thank you gift
Not sixty thousand, not six hundred thousand, not six million
No, no, why was he brought into the trap? Even if it was a 6 million supermarket shopping card, it would be weird.
Shen Yuxiu held the shopping card, whether to accept it or not, he thought his expression must be ridiculous now, he could clearly feel that every muscle on his face was frozen.
Just at this moment, Zhuo Yi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, made a precise cut——
"Director Shen, please accept it," Zhuo Yi said, "Your Highness the Princess treats everyone equally, and I have one of these too."
Shen Yuxiu: ""
Great, great, great.
At that second, Shen Yuxiu completely emptied all the previous guesses. He is now very sure, sure, sure, the person who can do such a thing as "send two shopping cards" is definitely the eccentric Cheng Xingfei himself.
