Chapter 10: Dark Hour
Soon, a complete and redundant black room was arranged, and Zhou Zhenan was also asked to wear a blindfold and walk in, with only a walkie-talkie.
Half an hour of silence and darkness, this is almost torture, my heart is pinched, Zhou Zhenan's eyes are indeed stubbornly persistent. I see an obsession called "being brave". I don't know why this obsession came from, I just think he's stupid.
At the moment when he blindfolded, Zhou Zhenan frowned invisibly, he was still panicking, but he was pretending to be calm.
I helped him sit in the center of the room, it was empty on all sides, and it was dark when the lights were turned off, in fact, this room was very small, but Zhou Zhenan would not know that the darkness would prolong his senses endlessly, and the unknown would come and wash away his determination.
I tried to shake his hand as a sign of encouragement, but found that his palms were slippery. He was still smiling: "I can do it, it's okay, you can go out." ”
This duplicitous man, I love him so far, but I also learned the pretense of duplicity from him.
"You can take off the blindfold later, the walkie-talkie is right next to you," I took his hand and felt it, "If you think it can't work, stop it, I'm outside, don't be reckless." You're the strongest. ”
His eyelashes twitched under the blindfold, but I couldn't see it, and he said softly, "Okay." ”
I walked quickly out of the hut, and the experiment began.
There has been silence on the walkie-talkie, I don't know what Zhou Zhenan is thinking or doing, I just feel that the flow of time has become slow.
Tina's eyes began with curiosity, followed by admiration, but I was also tired of her so-called dedication to art, which was nothing more than eye-catching, noble, but it was the artist who suffered, and her admiration was really costly.
But born in this circle, what we have to do is to attract people's attention, Zhou Zhenan loves music the most, everything he does is to let people hear his music and hear his will. For this reason, he can do any variety show, and he can pay any effort.
And I'm the same, in order to send the artist in my hand to a higher place, I can't turn my face with Tina, she is not a good friend, but she is a good card, and it is better to hold it firmly in your hand. I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, the real and false admiration on her face, at least tell me that this matter is half done.
Time is really slow, a few staff members in the distance are leaning on the props and laughing or something, and there are studio staff coming and going everywhere, which seems noisy and chaotic. There was silence and darkness across the wall, and I clenched the walkie-talkie in my hand, feeling impatient.
A thin, sobbing, nasal voice suddenly came over the intercom. It's so subtle that it doesn't seem to be.
I looked at my watch, twenty-three minutes, which was long enough: "Okay guys, I think it's okay to think about this, please ask the makeup teacher to prepare to touch up Zhou Zhenan's makeup, please give us ten minutes to adjust, thank you." ”
Tina Xu nodded in understanding, and the crowd dispersed.
I opened the door, and a faint light filtered into the room: "Anan, I turned on the light?"
"Don't. He said sullenly, his thin body half-hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see the look on his face clearly.
I walked up to him, the blindfold had been taken off and set aside casually, he lowered his head slightly, his messy bangs covering his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. I put my hand on his shoulder, hoping to give him some faint reassurance.
Zhou Zhenan leaned forward suddenly, and his head leaned lightly against me, like a child who needed a sense of security: "Just lean on for a while." "The voice is low and hoarse, with a soft tail note, and there is no way to refuse.
I gently stroked his hair in distress, hoping to make him feel gentle, but I was afraid to mess up his hairstyle: "You're doing a great job, really." It's brave. ”
He didn't speak, just rubbed the corner of my clothes, and I quieted down. All I can give him is a moment of rest.
"Anan, are you better?" just for a moment, he raised his head, his expression was already as usual, but his eyes were still a little unusually shiny.
He stood up: "No problem. So he walked out and bowed slightly to everyone politely: "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time." "The expression is impeccable.
The audience was busy again, and Tina Xu stared deeply at Zhou Zhenan, with inquisitive curiosity and expectation in her eyes.
The follow-up shooting went amazingly smoothly, and Zhou Zhenan's comprehension and tension made Tina Xu have to applaud. For half an hour in the dark room, I didn't know what Zhou Zhenan was thinking, I only knew that it came out in pieces, and there was a thick story in his cold and deep eyes, as if he wanted to suck the viewers into it.
After the shooting, Zhou Zhenan went to remove her makeup and change clothes, and Tina Xu called me aside and praised Zhou Zhenan to me. I nodded politely and smiled to thank her for the appreciation.
"Vin's storytelling is so good, I've never photographed such a spiritual young person. He has a charm that will captivate people. "I'm looking forward to the next collaboration." ”
My mind moved, and the smile on my face became a little warmer: "Thank you teacher for admiring this child, Anan has been preparing for a new album recently." ”
She knew what I meant, but she was also happy to answer my words: "Then there is a suitable job, let's get in touch again?" I smiled and shook hands with Tina, like an old friend for many years. The seemingly solid but ethereal thread is connected.
But I was happy after all, the sense of accomplishment in my work, the happiness of my loved ones being affirmed, and the abundance of relying on each other in that short period of time.
Zhou Zhenan walked out, took off those charming makeup, and he became the clear young man again, with the coldness that came out of his bones, like a moonlight.
We said hello to the whole studio and left, and I sent Zhou Zhenan to the place he and his friends agreed upon. He sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window and wondering what he was thinking. We all tacitly didn't mention the hug in the dark room, but our hearts were filled with the joy of the first melting of ice and snow.
As I drove, I talked to him about the next week's plan: "Tomorrow night I'll have dinner with Mr. Bai Jinyan, who is the producer of your album, and we will have a meeting tomorrow to discuss the theme." You're going to resume classes the day after tomorrow.,Adjust your status.,And then the album thing has to be put on the agenda.,Do you have any intention of going on a variety show?,I have a few projects in hand.,If you're interested.,I can talk about it.。 ”
"What type of variety show is it?" he asked.
"The new music reality show, staying in the planning stage, the producer told me, "I held the steering wheel, trying to recall the scene of meeting with the program producer Tang Xin that day, "The name of the variety show is an imaginary band, and musicians from different directions are gathered to form an imaginary band, and then regular performances are held and then PK." ”
"There is also a veteran TV variety show, the fourth season of the pinnacle guide, and their fixed PD, Zhang Wei, is going to open a global tour this year without schedule, and wants to find a younger idol to join the fixed lineup. ”
"The words of the imaginary band are highly musical, but they are online comprehensives, and you have already participated in a lot of online comprehensives. We can't be sure if the show is doing well enough to achieve the results we want. ”
"The peak guide is an old popular variety show, I believe you also understand, the national degree is quite high, participating in this variety show is beneficial to your exposure, but at the same time, you and Zhang Wei have the same identity but the coffee position is not as good, and the relationship between the peak brothers is also quite good, it is very likely that the audience will not buy your account after you go. Which one do you prefer?"
Zhou Zhenan didn't seem to be able to make up his mind for a while, so I asked him to think about it for a while, because these two programs were still in the preparation period.
When he arrived at the destination, Zhou Zhenan's friends didn't seem to have come yet. "I'll call Gu Liang to pick you up in advance, I won't come, Wu Tong has to make a quarterly plan there. I opened the car door and looked back at him, "It's fun, but don't get me in trouble." ”
He looked at me quietly and nodded slowly, as if I was missing something.
