When Lin Xi's eyes opened again, he no longer had the composure he had just now.
There is a stubborn light in the light amber pupils, as if the purest innocence of a baby, which has not been infected by the ups and downs of the outside world. His beautiful lips were tightly pursed, and there was a suppressed anger on his face, and there was a tremor between his teeth, as if his whole body was trembling with anger.
"If... you don't have the purest and most authentic feelings for music," the young man suddenly opened his lips, and every word seemed to come out from his teeth, every word was forceful and every sentence came from his heart.
"By virtue of great skill alone..."
As if talking about the most painful thing, Yili's young man in the camera suddenly clenched his fists. Gradually, apart from the initial anger and annoyance, a heartbroken emotion also surfaced on that fair cheek.
He clenched his teeth tightly and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was suffering from something. Suddenly turned his face away again, a flash of disappointment appeared on Qingjun's cheeks, but he recovered in just an instant. He turned his head suddenly, opened his eyes wide, looked at the camera and shouted in a low voice: "That is an insult to this sacred palace!"
After this clear voice, the atmosphere of the audience froze for a moment, falling into a strange silence.
Even through the cold lens, Raymond can feel the anger of the young people in the picture. The innocent child-like eyes, the tenacity that refuses to bend, seem to be full of annoyance towards another person, but there is also a little regret and disappointment.
In just a short ten seconds, he seemed to be able to feel the admiration after anger, the disappointment after longing, and every expression was almost consistent with what he imagined... No, even let him see Another sight never imagined.
Uno was the first to come back to his senses. He turned his head to look at Raymond who was stunned, and said in a low voice with closed eyes: "Raymond, as I said before, Lin Xi is the one I've met all these years. , the person who best fits the role."
Hearing Uno's deep and magnetic voice, the gray-haired old man gradually woke up from the scene. Lin Xi in the camera did not leave casually, but still stood there with a faint smile, waiting for Raymond's instructions.
There was a soreness in his throat, and it took a long time before he sighed softly and said, "His acting skills are very good... But, I want to know more, how did he realize what I want from that short sentence?" Meaning. Mantes, this is simply impossible."
Uno was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, his handsome eyebrows frowned suddenly, a trace of displeasure flashed in his dark eyes, and he said in a low voice, "In the beginning, you didn't want Lin Xi to pass the audition."
Raymond was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and admitted: "Yes, Mantes. Although he is really the best candidate I have seen in these years, but... the Mo Qing in my mind is not so beautiful and delicate , Lin's appearance and temperament are too extroverted, I thought..."
"You thought his Mo Qing, no matter how well he concealed it, would definitely show off."
Raymond was momentarily at a loss for words.
"But, Raymond, you can't judge people by their appearance." Uno looked at the ashamed old man in front of him blankly, and continued, "This is unfair to Lin Xi and disrespectful to me."
"Sorry, Mantes." With a deep sigh from his throat, Raymond struggled for a long time, and finally shook his head: "As you and Steven said, I am too stubborn. This Once... It was my fault. I gave Lin the chance to audition, but in the bottom of my heart I gave myself the final answer early in the morning. I admit, Lin performed very well, he... is the best Mo Qing I have ever seen. "
With his deep phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, Uno asked, "What do you mean?"
Raymond suddenly shook his head and chuckled helplessly, and said, "You said before that I shouldn't judge people by their appearance. Moreover, they have waited too long, ten years, and some things need to be decided."
When Lin Xi walked from the center of the set to the monitor, what he saw was the stern Raymond and Uno who turned his head away and seemed to be angry. His eyes stayed on Uno for a moment, and he was a little puzzled - what made this indifferent man angry.
Before he had time to ask, he heard Raymond say: "Lin, thank you, I am very grateful that you let me meet Mo Qing." After a pause, Raymond added: "By the way, you don't know Who is Mo Qing? Mo Qing is the character you are about to play, the other male protagonist of "Chakong".
Hearing Raymond's words, Lin Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and she immediately understood: "Director Raymond, what do you mean... I passed the audition?"
A smile appeared on his stern face, and Raymond nodded and said, "Yes, Lin. If even you can't successfully portray Mo Qing, then I'm afraid I won't be able to find another one in another ten years. By the way , there is one thing I am very curious about, can I ask you, Lin?"
"You say."
"I just gave you a sentence, and I didn't even tell you who I was talking to. How can you know... the effect I want to express from a simple sentence?"
When this question was asked all of a sudden, Lin Xi suddenly felt his face heat up.
He coughed twice and admitted: "Actually, this matter... I have to apologize to you, Raymond. When I was doing makeup in the dressing room, Sister Chen... Erica told me something about the content of the movie So I also know that this sentence was said to another actor. Before coming here, Mantes once played a piece of "Chaconne" for me. I probably guessed that the protagonist of this movie is likely to be Musicians. People who are engaged in art are generally very arrogant. If they really hate a person, they won't bother to say these things. So I think... Mo Qing is not just a person to that person It's that simple to hate."
Raymond was taken aback when he heard the words, and he immediately turned to look at Chen Yajing who had already come out of the dressing room. The latter curled his lips and spread his hands innocently, as if "I didn't do anything".
"This is also good luck. If Erica didn't tell you this, I'm afraid because of my prejudice, the show will never be able to start." Raymond sighed, and turned his head while talking: "I'm very happy I was able to see you, Lin. Thank you very much for letting me start this movie. I wonder when you have time?"
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows lightly, and said, "As long as you have time, Raymond."
Raymond nodded gratefully, and said, "Then I'll be more prepared, and we'll start the machine again in a month." After speaking, he turned to Uno again and asked, "Mantes, you seem to be There is also a schedule, right?"
Without a direct answer, Uno let out a cold snort from his nose.
Raymond: "…"
Lin Xi looked at the two people suspiciously for a long time, and was about to ask a question, when Raymond slapped the table and said angrily: "Mantes, that's how you talk to uncle?! In vain I watched you grow up , you really become less cute as you get older! Do you still remember the blue pillow you loved to hug when you were young... "
"Okay Raymond, I have a schedule for the next year!" Uno said suddenly, interrupting Raymond's words, there was a trace of embarrassment in his voice, and his handsome face turned red.
Lin Xi looked at the strange Uno in surprise, only to hear Chen Yajing suddenly cover her red lips and burst out laughing.
"Unexpectedly, Raymond still remembered that incident. I really caught Uno's handle, haha."
After hearing Uno's words, Raymond also showed a smug smile, and the deep wrinkles on his face slowly spread.
"So...you have to respect the old man, Mantes. If you've been like this for a long time, then nothing will happen?"
Uno narrowed his eyes dangerously, only glanced at Raymond, then turned to look at Lin Xi. The anger towards Raymond had long since disappeared from the god-like face, replaced by sunshine-like gentleness. His thin lips curled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Ye Yiyi's engagement will be in two days, let's hurry back to Heaven today."
Lin Xi smiled lightly and nodded, "Okay, if you go back today, you can take a rest."
"Let me go back to Tianx Dynasty with you." Chen Yajing's soft voice suddenly sounded, "In a few days, it will be the Tianxchao Star Awards, and I have a nomination."
Uno was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded silently, as a tacit consent.
Seeing this, Chen Yajing slowly raised her red lips, and her delicate makeup looked a little more vivid. She walked aside and took Raymond's arm, not knowing what to say again. But Lin Xi didn't ignore it. Before she took a step, she looked at Uno one last time—
There is helplessness and sadness that are almost diluted.
Sitting in the spacious and comfortable first-class cabin, Lin Xi and Uno were sitting in the same seat, and Chen Yajing was sitting alone in a remote corner. At some point, she had already covered herself with a thin blanket and fell asleep.
Pinching a thin page of the script with her slender fingers, Lin Xi quietly looked at the black words on the script with her eyes downcast, but did not turn the page for a long time. His eyes froze on a certain point without focus, as if he was thinking about something.
"What do you want to drink?"
Hearing Uno's low-pitched voice suddenly, Lin Xi turned his head slowly, and when his eyes touched the indifferent face, he suddenly gained focus. The delicate phoenix eyes widened suddenly, Lin Xi hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help asking in a low voice: "What's your relationship with... Sister Chen?"
Hearing these words suddenly, Uno was shocked. He thought for a moment, and answered honestly: "My family and her family have been friends since the previous generations, and we grew up together."
Listening to Uno's answer, Lin Xi suddenly felt a tiny thorn poke in his heart. His complexion suddenly darkened, Lin Xi asked with a cold face, "She likes you?"
"..." Seeing the young man's face getting darker and darker, Uno immediately clarified: "I don't have any other relationship with her beyond friendship! Moreover, I have already explained it to her before, and I will never have any more question."
Hearing Uno's hurried and anxious voice, for some reason, Lin Xi's depressed mood disappeared without a trace in an instant. There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, but his face still maintained an angry look, and he said in a low voice: "Hmph, then tell me, what is going on with that blue pillow?"
"..."
"Sister Chen knows, but I can't know?!"
At this time, the plane had safely flown into the stratosphere, and the stewardesses were preparing meals for the plane through two curtains. There are not many people in the first class, and most of them have already fallen into a sweet dream. A peaceful and serene atmosphere enveloped this area, only a slight snoring sound came to Lin Xi and Uno's ears from some unknown direction.
After a long silence, Uno still sighed softly. He stretched out his hand to caress Lin Xi's hand, and said helplessly, "That happened in my childhood, when I was only five years old..."
Like a beautiful and moving landscape painting, Lin Xi tilted his head to listen, while Uno spoke softly. The two hands that held each other gradually became tighter. The thin fingers of the young man slowly hooked Uno's slender fingers along the gap between the fingers, and they held it lightly again, and the fingers were intertwined.
Uno was stunned for a moment because of this movement, and then recovered. The smile on his lips grew even wider, he narrowed his calm eyes, and looked at the young man in front of him earnestly and intently, as if he was looking at the whole world, and could no longer tolerate any other impurities.
The atmosphere is quiet and beautiful, like a lake in the afternoon sun.
What they didn't know was that the woman who had been sitting in a remote corner had woken up at some point. With the precipitation washed away by the years, those apricot eyes quietly stared at the two people who were chatting happily not far away, the eyes were dark, like an abyss with no bottom.
After an unknown amount of time, she sighed heavily, showing a relieved and indifferent smile.
It's all... really over.
-----------
The plane with graceful lines landed safely at the airport in City B. As soon as the three of Lin Xi got out of the airway building, they saw Zhao Xian who had been waiting for a long time. Wearing a thin white shirt, Joo Hyun waved eagerly as soon as he saw them.
When he came to the front, Lin Xi discovered that Zhao Xian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, had changed into a refreshing short hair at some point. He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, gave Uno a cold look, and said, "I went to Berlin for an audition all of a sudden, and I didn't even tell me. Are you trying to cut the show first, or do you want to change managers? "
Uno lowered his eyes, glanced at him lightly, and said, "Since you understand, why are you still standing here?"
"..." After hearing this, Zhao Xian's hand froze in mid-air. After a long time, he came back to his senses and roared angrily: "You heartless fellow! It took me eight lifetimes of misfortune to meet someone like you! I have been waiting for you here for four hours! Hours! You still don't appreciate it at all! You touch your conscience... "
"The flight delay has nothing to do with me."
"..." Suddenly choked, Zhao Xian clenched his back molars and said, "Okay, let's catch up with an announcement right now. As soon as the announcement is over, I will ask Chu Jinjie to resign you immediately! I will not wait for you." It's gone!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xian immediately turned around and opened the door to get into the car, without even giving Uno a glance.
On the other hand, Uno lowered his eyes indifferently, looked at Lin Xi, and asked, "Wang Fang hasn't come yet, will you go with me first?"
"No, you should catch up with the announcement first, he should be here soon." After a pause, Lin Xi looked at the car window anxiously. Because of the highly confidential dark brown window stickers, he couldn't see Zhao Xian's expression in the car at all. "Just now Zhao Xian is like that, he won't be really angry, right?"
Through the window sticker, Uno glanced lightly at the car window, then turned to Lin Xi and said, "He has to say this three times a day, so don't worry about him."
Lin Xi: "..."
"Who said you don't have to worry about me! Uno, show me a good look. If I don't fire you tomorrow, I'll go shave your bald head!" Zhao Xian slammed open the car door and shouted angrily.
Lin Xi glanced at Zhao Xian's short and concise hair meaningfully, and said nothing.
Watching the stable and majestic black Mercedes-Benz SUV gradually drive away from his field of vision, Lin Xi then withdrew his gaze. He turned to look at Chen Yajing who was at the side, and asked with a smile, "Sister Chen, do you want to go by yourself, or follow my car?"
I saw Chen Yajing wearing a capable and chic dark blue denim jacket, paired with a pair of light-colored jeans, looking very refreshing and neat. She put the small white suitcase aside and replied, "No, I can go by myself."
Lin Xi nodded clearly and did not speak further.
This is a relatively remote waterway building. Occasionally, a few people walked past Lin Xi and Chen Yajing, at most they just gave them a strange look, but no one could have imagined that it was Lin Xi. Wearing a cowhide hat and wide sunglasses, Lin Xi turned up the neckline of his windbreaker, covering almost half of his face.
It's not yet the season of raging smog, but the weather in City B is clean and clear, and the sun has shifted further due to the passage of time. The warm sun shone on the earth, and there was also a bit of a burning threat.
Lin Xi looked at the far end of the airport avenue, frowned suspiciously, wondering why Wang Fang was so late today. He was just about to take out his mobile phone to make a phone call, when he heard Chen Yajing's gentle voice from the side:
"Lin Xi, can we have a chat?"
