"He's so cute." Li Yuebai was lying on the edge of the table, propping his chin with one hand and shaking his wine glass with the other.
It was late at night, Shen Po had already left, the garden on the roof was empty, and the starlight projected down softly.
"Master, you have repeated this sentence more than three times." The system said.
Seeing the host who is dazzled by love every day and always using the word "cute" to describe the tall actor with a gloomy expression and profound facial features, the system suddenly felt that all its human language learning was useless.
"It's just cute, you didn't see his expression just now..." Li Yuebai refused to budge on this question.
"As long as you are happy," the system said.
The whole company didn't understand why Shen Po suddenly decided to cooperate with Murong Liang.
"Murong Liang didn't give you any ecstasy, did he?" The manager and other team members looked at Shen Po with worried eyes.
But such doubts are groundless—judging from the video and audio recordings, Murong Liang did nothing.
Shen Po thought for a second, and decided to use that old grudge as a shield.
"Everyone knows." Shen Po frowned, "I was once denied by Murong Liang for my acting skills before my debut."
"..." Everyone was silent, and immediately said: "That is his loss, your current achievements are obvious to all."
"Murong Liang is a very talented producer." Shen Po said: "I hope to conquer him with my current acting skills. Besides, the script is really interesting."
Was it obsession... Everyone sighed silently.
After deceiving Shen Po, Li Yuebai led the team to start the preliminary preparations.
Project approval, application for shooting permission, investment attraction, audition for supporting roles...all were completed as quickly as possible.
However, as the official shooting date approached, the entire filming team discovered a big problem—
— There is still one protagonist missing!
There are two male protagonists in the script, and now there is only one, Shen Po... The other male protagonist has been unable to find a suitable actor for a long time.
I have tried many auditions, and there are many popular male artists with good looks, but none of them are like Gu Xisha.
After a new round of auditions, the director sighed, "No way..."
Li Yuebai didn't express his opinion, but said: "Since the director said no, then we can only continue to look for it."
For the role of Gu Xisha, Li Yuebai is of course selfish. He is too familiar with this role. After all, he has played it himself for so long, and it has already become a part of his personality... However, it is precisely because of his familiarity that he is more familiar with it. Clearly, it is impossible for anyone in this world to be able to fully restore that Gu Xisha. It would be the end of the world for him to choose. Therefore, he gave more power to the director, and asked the director to choose carefully. Unexpectedly, the director read the script too carefully, and he was equally picky when he provoked people.
"Let me tell you, Murong, according to this situation, it is impossible for us to find a suitable Gu Xisha." The director sighed and lit a cigarette: "Hey, how about changing Gu Xisha's gender? "
"..." Li Yuebai almost spit out the tea.
"What did I hear!" The system was also blown out.
"That's right, I said that there was something wrong with this script from the very beginning, so it's here!" The director suddenly realized, his eyes lit up, and he slapped the table fiercely: "How can a vampire-themed movie be without a love scene!"
"The system feels that there is a love scene..." the system panicked.
"The plot doesn't need to be changed at all! Just pierce the window paper and everything will be fine!" The more the director said, the more excited he became: "Murong, just imagine, the silent and calm genius young Ye Qing and the hot-tempered domineering elder sister Gu Xisha, like this Is there a hot spot in the combination? Is there a hot spot? In the end, we can arrange a wedding, whether it is a happy reunion or not? And then we can have a... "
I can't imagine it...!
Li Yuebai is still petrified.
"Now it's easy to find an actor." The director excitedly took out his mobile phone: "It's AAA!"
AAA is an actress from the same company as Shen Po. She is tall, has long hair, and has a chic and handsome behavior.
Li Yuebai has seen a few of her short videos, and they are really good.
If it doesn't work, just choose her...? Li Yuebai thought in a daze.
He is still in a state of petrification, and his mind is not very clear.
"And AAA has been rumored to have an affair with Shen Po." While pressing AAA's phone number on the phone, the director imagined the future: "In this way, the publicity effect will be even better, it's really big news like an explosion! And if there is really rumors of their romance in the crew..."
Li Yuebai felt that a string in his brain was broken.
In the next second, he had put the knife on the director's neck.
The director was startled, the phone dropped to the floor and the battery fell out.
Li Yuebai grabbed the director's collar with one hand, and picked the director's chin with the other. His face was so terrifying that he crawled out of hell, and his whole body exuded murderous aura.
The staff walking around were also frightened.
Five seconds later, the director wailed.
"I said Murong, I was just joking, just kidding..." the director begged for mercy while wailing, "We won't change the script, we won't change the script..."
Only then did Li Yuebai slowly let go of the director.
"I know you don't like to be judged by others, but this reaction is too exaggerated..." The director hid aside and said aggrievedly: "I just didn't have enough time, so I went to the doctor in a hurry, and the filming will start soon Is it gone?"
The scheduled launch date is approaching, and if the lead actor doesn't settle down, it will be too late.
"How can it be so easy to find an actor for Gu Xisha?" The director complained, "It must be good-looking, full of aura, and fierce enough to scare people...how can there be such a male actor nowadays?"
The staff all turned their attention to Li Yuebai.
"Wait..." The director involuntarily turned his gaze to Li Yuebai.
As a producer, Murong Liang is often rated as the producer who is most qualified to act as the leading role in person because of his better looks than the stars.
Since joining the film and television business, Murong Liang has often received suggestions from the company, asking him to make a guest appearance in the film occasionally to increase the popularity of the film. However, he rejected all these suggestions because he only loves behind-the-scenes production and does not like acting. Gradually, no one in the company mentioned this matter anymore.
But now...
Murong Liang's expression and action just now are Gu Xisha.
Both the director and the staff could not wait to kneel down on one knee and force the palace, begging the producer to condescend to play the leading role.
But... I dare not say it.
Murong Liang's temper is really terrible, what if he gets violent again.
Li Yuebai raised his eyes, felt the gazes around him eagerly looking at him, and couldn't help showing a smile.
Starring himself doesn't seem too bad either.
Although I have never received any acting training, but Gu Xisha is me, what obstacles are there in acting myself
"I said, Murong..." the director approached with a smile all over his face: "Well, do you want to have a test shot or something..."
"An audition for Gu Xisha?" Li Yuebai put away his smile and nodded reluctantly: "It's just this one time, don't make another example."
Murong Liang's appearance and temperament are quite different from Gu Xisha's. Murong Liang's figure is slender, not tall, exaggerated and gorgeous, with a charming expression, and occasionally arrogant and frivolous posture... But these are not problems.
Li Yuebai got up from the judges' seat and walked step by step to the camera in the central open space.
He stood up straight, facing the camera.
For a moment, the director and the staff couldn't recognize this person.
Under the strong light, Li Yuebai removed the gorgeous and attractive temperament from Murong Liang's body, and brought back Gu Xisha's irritable and heaviness. It is full of determination and helplessness.
He reached behind his back with one hand, untied a long knife that didn't exist, and threw it on the ground.
This movement was imitated so realistically, and the fingers were so steady and powerful that the staff seemed to hear the clatter of the silver-plated long knife falling to the ground.
"My knife is for dealing with vampires, not you..." Li Yuebai said.
His voice was desolate and hoarse, and his eyes were fixed on the ground. Just a word and a demeanor revealed the entanglement and pain in his heart.
In the original plot, this place was after Gu Xisha personally turned Ye Qing into a vampire. At this time, Gu Xisha was worried about Ye Qing, and at the same time had to deal with interrogation from his superiors and colleagues. He was at the center of the conflict, the center of the whirlpool of pain.
But even at such moments, the strength and tenacity in him has not changed in the slightest.
For a moment, the whole room was silent.
After a while, the director stammered and ordered: "Okay, we can pause..."
"Huh?" Li Yuebai recovered from his acting state.
"Very good, I mean, the performance just now was very good." The director was so shocked that he could hardly speak.
He never expected that Murong Liang also had such talent in acting! Why have you been hiding it for so many years and not showing it
However, it is also possible that it is just a coincidence, and a fragment does not explain anything...
The director opened the script and found another paragraph.
It is a relatively late plot. Gu Xisha entered the Qixing Building in order to have a final confrontation with the villain. After many hopeless cycles, he finally saw Ye Qing who had not seen him for many days through the barrier.
"Just this paragraph." The director nervously scratched a line on the script: "Try it."
Do I still need to try it? Li Yuebai smiled bitterly in his heart.
At that moment, he will never forget it in his life.
Facing an empty space, Li Yuebai closed his eyes.
In fact, it doesn't make any difference if you close your eyes and open them, just recall the scene at that time - Ye Qing was on the other side of the barrier, looking very haggard, as if crying...
My heart suddenly throbbed with pain.
And Ye Qing at that time couldn't see himself at all.
"Ye..." Li Yuebai did not open his eyes, but let out a low cry in despair.
What he cannot hear, what he cannot hear.
Li Yuebai took a few steps forward, and punched the imaginary hard barrier with his fist.
It can't be broken at all.
Ye Qing was right there, but he couldn't reach it at all.
Li Yuebai opened his eyes and looked towards the place where Ye Qing should be standing.
For a moment, the staff were surrounded by a thick atmosphere of sadness, and no one made a sound.
Even though there was a burst of chaotic footsteps approaching, no one made a sound, and no one stepped forward to greet him.
It was Shen Po who came.
Shen Po has an agenda today, and the location happens to be nearby. Considering the future cooperation, Shen Po finally decided to come over to say hello.
Even if there is that weird and lustful Murong Liang present... still have to come.
Thinking of Murong Liang, Shen Po frowned unnaturally.
That guy always looked at him in a weird way, and suddenly started to be affectionate... But, he didn't hate it, maybe it was a privilege to be good-looking, and he didn't seem to feel any discomfort.
Moreover, Murong Liang knew his identity, and just this made their relationship closer invisibly.
Thinking of the barbecue that Murong Liang invited himself to eat that night, Shen Po felt dumbfounded.
"Why are you so happy?" The manager said vigilantly: "Shen Po, I feel that we should not lose our vigilance against Murong Liang yet."
"I know, there are so many people." Shen Po said disapprovingly.
There are always a lot of people in the crew, even if Murong Liang has bad intentions, he won't have a chance.
However, when he walked to the audition location, Shen Po still felt something was wrong.
Why are the staff gathered in a circle, as if they were looking at something strange.
Could it be that Murong Liang is playing tricks again
Shen Po frowned, and walked forward quickly.
Although the crowd formed a circle, there was still a huge gap.
Shen Po passed through the gap and drove straight in.
Then, he saw Murong Liang looking at him with an indescribable expression.
Shen Po was stunned for a moment, only to feel that his feet suddenly became extremely heavy, and he could no longer take a step forward.
Murong Liang's eyes were desolate, deep and gentle, as if they contained endless love and despair.
Why... why does it look so familiar
Shen Po touched his heart subconsciously - it hurts like it was cut open.
