27.Chapter 27: Opportunity
The weather is gradually warming. After the vernal equinox, the weather is already a little hot.
At the end of March, when the school was preparing to hold the Spring Festival Games, she and several children participated in the 500-meter race on behalf of the class.
Every afternoon after school, it is practice time, and the school's playground is full of young players practicing hard...... and a solidarity team that was born at some point.
As the sun sets, the last bit of afterglow falls on the academy buildings, casting a thin shadow on the dry sand. The children who practiced running on the track hurriedly ran by, and Zhang Xiuxiu could still hear the rustle of running shoes rubbing against the ground while standing on the rubber road.
A few tall and sturdy sports students ran in front of him, Zhang Xiuxiu sighed and looked at the track in the distance worriedly.
On the opposite side of the auditorium, there was a small figure in the distance.
Zhang Xiuxiu clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and was about to shout loudly, "Come on......!
Unexpectedly, before she finished shouting, there was a neat cheering sound from the opposite side: "Youran, come on, Youran, come on!" The shouts of a group of female voices interrupted Zhang Xiuxiu's words, and the words that did not spit out were swallowed back violently, choking on her throat like a hard object, and the small fist that was stretched out was also frozen in the air.
What made her heart even more congested was that Youran, who was running in the distance, saw the 'cheerleader' team on the side, and her feet slowed down. You Ran seemed to stop and said something to the captain of the cheerleading team opposite, a tall beautiful girl with a ponytail, causing the little girls on the opposite side to scream......
Zhang Xiuxiu stared at the figure that was gradually approaching with a blank face, grinding her teeth viciously.
When Youran passed by Zhang Xiuxiu's side, she was stopped by the other party.
"Eh, why are you here?" Youran's expression was a little dazed, "Haven't you practiced?" Before the Spring Festival event, the school organized a pre-conference performance. Zhang Xiuxiu participated in the school's phalanx performance, and usually has team training, Zhang Xiuxiu, as a little celebrity in the class, has heard of this at a young age.
Zhang Xiuxiu glared at him when she heard this, and said, "I've been here for a long time!"
"Oh...... Sorry, I may not have been paying attention when I was running. Seeing that her face didn't seem to be right, she was inexplicable, and she just smiled on her face, "Are you here to cheer us on?"
Zhang Xiuxiu wrinkled her nose aggrievedly and nodded slightly. As soon as she wanted to speak, she saw Youran wave her hand into the distance. Zhang Xiuxiu looked up and saw the boy waving towards this side in the center of the playground, "Zhou Youyi is also there......"
Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar name, the young man was stunned. He looked back at a boy C who was on the football team, and suddenly understood - "Zhou Youyi" is the name of boy C?!
"That's the name!" thought to him, and the problem that had been a little tangled suddenly unraveled. Youran grinned and patted Zhang Xiuxiu's shoulder, "Thank you today!"
At the end, Zhang Xiuxiu saw that the young child winked at her playfully. Before she could react, the person had already run away.
The young girl suddenly forgot about the unpleasantness just now, and smiled again......
When Youran ran past the football team, she tried to shout "Zhou Youyi". When 'Boy C' in the stadium heard this, he quickly turned his head to look at him. Confirming the name, Youran nodded, smiled and waved his hand in greeting, and continued to start running. Only 'Zhou Youyi' looked flattered, looked at the small figure in the distance, and stiffened his body for a long time......
You Ran has not had any roles in "Yin Yang Family" recently. After the fixed variety show was determined, there were fewer ordinary programs, and Du Jian recently threatened to plan to promote him to "force his style", and even the wild small magazines had little contact, so he suddenly got two consecutive weeks off.
Participating in school sports festivals and honing his acting skills in the system space, he had a good time during this time.
But the impact of the development of the entertainment industry has indeed been brought to the school. There are several so-called fan support clubs in the school that support Youran - despite the strong suppression by the Academic Affairs Office and teachers, a group of small female fans have recently continued to appear in the form of "cheerleaders" to cheer for Youran's practice.
...... After leaving the crew, Youran and Yu Chaoshu also had less contact.
When Youran was in the crew, Yu Chaoshu once asked him for an online chat number - but Yu Chaoshu is different from Youran, he is busy with work all day and has little time to rest. I don't know if it's intentional or not, in short, the two have only chatted twice since they were children. On the one hand, Yu Ran can't talk to others like ordinary children, talking about children's words and a little thing, and on the other hand, Yu Chaoshu won't really treat Yu Ran like his peers and talk about work topics. Occasionally talk about interesting things in life, or give some advice to Youran, which is all the chat records between him and Youran...... It might be good to think that this is not necessary, it doesn't have to be too close, and it won't be unrelated.
But in the media, there is still a lot of news about Yu Chaoshu. Even if there is not much connection, Yu Chaoshu still has a sense of existence in a different form in his young life - before and after the release of "The King of the Dead" starring Yu Chaoshu at the beginning of the year, the industry has received a very good evaluation of him. At the beginning of March, the selected works of the Alliance Film and Television Awards were announced, and Yu Chaoshu's "King of the Dead" was shortlisted for the Best Stunt Award and Fine Arts; a Best Supporting Actress in the crew was selected, and Yu Chaoshu himself was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award, and will also step on the red carpet of the awards conference for the first time!
Yu Chaoshu was low-key before the awards, but the excitement of online fans for the film and television awards has just risen. You Ran occasionally glanced at it a few times, and saw a lot of comments for the best male and female leads, as well as popular films.
These have nothing to do with Youran herself. He knows that the male protagonist's acting career during this period of time must be smooth sailing - although the Film and Television Award is the most authoritative award in the alliance country, it competes for generations of powerful artists with outstanding abilities at the annual conference. You Ran felt that although the voice of support for Yu Chaoshu this time was not loud, the "Newcomer Award" was an achievement that an actor could only get once, and in the novel, the achievements of Yu Chaoshu were portrayed very exaggeratedly, and Yu Chaoshu might not be able to win the award this time.
"The Film and Television Awards will only hold an award ceremony at the end of September, right?" Du Jian was obviously also very concerned about this matter, and when the two gathered in the red door after a long absence, he mentioned this matter, and his tone seemed to be very emotional.
You Ran sat in Du Jian's small office, spending time after class, while looking down and tapping on his mobile phone, he raised his head and glanced at Du Jian, who had spoken.
Du Jian flipped through the information in his hand, and his eyes swept over Youran, "Children, don't play with mobile phones all day long. Due to the increasing number of young people's work, in order to solve the occasional inconvenience of contact, young people were finally approved to buy their own mobile phone.
The young short index finger swiped across the interface of the mobile phone, changed the mobile phone content on the screen, and responded with a few "uh-huh" sounds. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Chaoshu's recent variety show news, and asked with a flat reaction, "Aren't you going out today?"
"Li Chang has an assistant over there......" Du Jian replied. After speaking, Du Jian paused, put down the Wen Jiàn in his hand, and looked at Youran, "Li Changhucheng Middle School's recommendation has been determined." ”
Seeing that Youran didn't react, Du Jian shook his head regretfully, and immediately asked Youran: "What do you think of Li Chang?" I saw the child's small arms and legs sitting on the sofa, and the soft cheeks had a little baby fat unique to the child. Only then did he react and asked if the kid was judging others too early.
Sure enough, Youran just glanced at him slightly, seemed to think a little, and replied, "It's okay, it was interesting when I recorded the show." ”
Although he knew that this reaction was the reaction that ordinary children should have, Du Jian couldn't hide the regret in his heart, "...... A person's root nature is not easy to change. ”
"You're still too lazy. It would be nice if you had one-tenth of Li Chang's utilitarian heart!" Du Jian sighed and smiled helplessly.
You Ran was stunned by this comment. At his age, he doesn't seem to be very motivated - but the first time I heard someone in the circle say that he lacks "utilitarianism", I was a little overwhelmed for a while.
...... Truly. If you want to achieve something, sometimes "utilitarianism" may be an indispensable trait, right?
You didn't respond, looking down at the interface on your phone. The fine eyelashes are slightly covered, and together with the bangs on the forehead, the shadow cast hides the slight frowning love between his eyebrows.
Du Jian didn't expect a 10-year-old child to be able to answer his words, and began to talk about the topic of young work, "I haven't found any suitable scripts recently. ”
He turned his head to glance at the stacks of texts stacked on the table. The names of the plays are marked on the sides of these texts, and a crossbar is crossed under the names of the plays, which is the mark that Du Jian has reviewed.
Since Youran became popular because of the role of "Cheng Yuan", many sick and weak child characters of the same type have contacted Du Jian - accepting more positive roles is more beneficial to Youran's image building. Du Jian originally did not reject this type of script at all.
But Du Jian has learned about Youran's acting past one by one. After Youran took over a role like "Fu Ran", Du Jian had another idea.
...... There are too many child stars who take on a large number of positive roles and show their innocent side. Even if you are determined to follow this development route at this time, you can certainly follow the orthodoxy. But it is very difficult to shine among a group of talented child stars.
