Chapter 1: Reunion
ended early in this way, and it was almost midnight when Cheng Shuo returned to the apartment arranged for him by the company. When he entered the door, he turned on the computer without even changing his clothes, and typed in the search bar the three Chinese characters that were extremely familiar but had been taboo to him in the past few years: Yan Zhuanxin.
The web page opened without any pause, without even a hint of buffer.
The first thing that catches your eye is a sleek photo, her long black hair makes her skin fair and flawless, she is not the kind of star who is so beautiful that people can be amazed at a glance and worship a god, just like this photo, just a faint almost invisible makeup with a shallow smile, only the pair of unusually beautiful eyes, like the brightest star in the dark night sky, clean can melt everything, can be called the best portrayal of double pupils.
Next to the photo is a brief introduction about her:
Yan Zhuanxin, graduated from the T City Conservatory of Music with a major in classical music harp performance, became famous in his senior year because he was selected by the famous director Zhao Jin to play the role of Xiao Xia, who was crazy about love in "Trajectory", and then starred in the classic TV series produced by Yuantang Media Company, the second part of the Bi series "Bihu Yuan", the "Three World Fireworks", the descendant of the Protoss who dared to love and hate, and was widely acclaimed, and the first time he was electrocuted on the big screen with "Guardian" 's real and shocking acting skills vividly interpreted the role of Wenwen and won the Best Newcomer Award at the Feilu Film Festival, and then the little fresh film "New Beginning", which she played the female lead for the first time, became a dark horse in the same film, and the name Zhuan Xin also became a guarantee for the box office and ratings. She is a hot and popular actress in the film and television industry in recent years, and she has captured a large number of fans and won the favor of major media with her superb and touching acting skills, elegant and indifferent temperament and a good image of low-key zero scandals.
Cheng Shuo has watched this few lines of introduction several times, they have been separated for less than three years, from their silence to going to the United States for closed training and then low-key preparations for return, what happened during this period?
One by one, he opened the links below the page.
"Trajectory": The famous director Zhao Jin has been preparing for two years of love inspirational drama, telling the story of five young people's dreams and reality, love and friendship, success and failure. The five leading actors in the play have won praise from the audience for the play, and their careers have risen as a result, especially the second heroine Xiao Xia, who has become a well-known popular actress from an unknown girl, Xiao Xia's likable character positioning makes her unexpectedly more popular than the female number one.
Xiao Xia in the story is beautiful, kind, has a superior family background, has a successful career, and is a near-perfect girl, but she stubbornly loves a person who doesn't love herself and refuses to look back, her love touches everyone, but she can't get the love she wants, even if it's just a little attention and pity. Such perseverance and dedication conquered the audience, and together with the actor Yan Zhuanxin, he also gained everyone's love, and Xiao Xia's classic lines were also rated as the most touching confession of love by the majority of netizens.
"Fireworks of the Third World": The second part of the Bihu Yuan series, the classic masterpiece produced by Yuantang Media, tells a legendary myth, which is composed of three branch lines of reincarnation, obsession, and fate, and then converges together to compose a shocking legend that moves the world. The Bi series, which originally had a large audience base, brought together six young leading actors in the second part, and the ratings were also popular all the way.
Yan Zhuanxin, who has attracted much attention because of Xiao Xia, plays the heroine Yi Lan in the "Fate" branch line "Fireworks of the Third World", a descendant of the Protoss who has endured hundreds of years of waiting for love, a poignant love story that resonates with the heart. In the play, Yan Zhuanxin, who is dressed in ancient costumes, is like a fairy, and she is adorable with a smile and a cheek in blue.
"Guardian": A work about the realistic theme of love and home, starring Zhang Zhengjiangli after the emperor's vision, and their daughter Wenwen is a series of lines in the whole story, and it is also the only one that maintains the love between this family and them.
The director adopted a dark color system to shoot this movie, and there are not many lines without makeup in the play, most of them speak with those black and white clear eyes, or expectation or despair, which not only brought Wenwen to life but also moved the audience and shocked the professional seniors. Wenwen's role has made her gain recognition from professional judges and seniors.
"New Beginning": A box office dark horse produced by Taiwan's new female directors and produced at a small cost. Meng Xin, a ruthless and willful white-collar girl in the city, desperately raised her head proudly after losing the love she relied on for survival, and turned around to be embarrassed and decadent, she transformed from a vine plant that was attached to her into a big tree standing in the wind.
Many classic lines and light humor and small literature in the play tell the whole story very specially, and the subversive performance of the subversive performance made the audience refreshed, and the box office climbed all the way.
At the end of the page is a media review article:
If Xiao Xia is known to all ages, Yilan has consolidated her position in the hearts of the younger generation, then Wenwen has made her gain the recognition of professionals in the circle, and Meng Xin has opened up a broader stage for her.
Many people say that the luck of the blue is too good, in just three years, she has obtained opportunities and praise that others may not get for ten years, such a person who is neither from a professional background nor a young debut, but she has captured everyone's hearts as a matter of course, and the hard work and effort behind it are even bitter only she knows best in her own heart. In the face of this flashy circle, she does not fight, grab, or hype, but only quietly does her part of the job, such a quiet woman like water, a sluan Xin that cannot be copied and imitated, which makes people yearn for it and close it.
There is more news about the news on the Internet, more and more, and more because every movement of her work is closely watched by the media, but there is no other report except for work. Except for cameos, four works in three years make her not a prolific actor, but it is rare to be able to be popular in all departments, and even a remark called "Zhuan Xin effect" is circulated in the film and television industry. There has only been one personal interview in the three years since her debut, and she is almost invisible in the promotional activities, which makes people a little more curious about such a low-key and mysterious.
From the fashionable Xiao Xia to the mysterious and elegant Yilan to Wenwen and Meng Xin who subvert everyone, Yan Zhuan Xin has sharpened her acting skills little by little under the gaze of the public, the appearance of the idol faction, the powerful acting skills and the low-key personality, so she can't help but make people think about how much untapped potential there is, there is still a long way to go, let us look forward to her next classic.
Cheng Shuo found a collection of videos, the first of which was a clip of the classic passage in "Trajectory": Xiao Xia wore a long skirt, and her feet wrapped in gauze were not wearing shoes, so she walked on the road in despair, but she never shed a single tear.
She fled the city with him in embarrassment, but unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth when she thought of him on a sunny afternoon, laughed to herself so happily when she remembered all the good things in the past, and then wrote his name over and over again on a white piece of paper until tears blurred the handwriting, walked down the street and listened to a lyric and suddenly shed tears, and then squatted on the crowded street and hugged herself until dark.
Finally, she still returned to the city with him, and the monologue outside the screen: "No matter how much I have suffered because I love you, but now I am still grateful to God for letting me meet you, and at this moment, I can still breathe the air of the same city with you, and bathe in the warmth of the same sun, it is enough, at least, I can still have the opportunity to meet you in this city." I have said countless times that I want to give up, but after all, I am still reluctant, I wasted my youth and missed love, endured all the pain and torture brought by liking you, bruised all over my body, but there is still no way not to think about not to love, you are a wound in my heart that cannot be healed, I can't forget, I have loved so deeply, hurt, and pained, as long as I accidentally touch it for so many years after that, it will cause a cone of pain. But I have never regretted falling in love with you in this life, if I was given another chance to go back to the past, I would still choose to love you desperately, even if it hurts as if I want to die, I will deeply remember that I have loved someone so unforgettable. ”
The second video clip is "Three Worlds Fireworks", Yi Lan, a descendant of the Protoss dressed in blue, has gone from innocent and kind to mature and atmospheric, and has always been obsessed with the elegant mortal man he fell in love with at first sight when he was young. Because he loved her and grew up overnight, and then he was unwilling to wait for his reincarnation, from stubbornness to patience, from stubbornness to pain, every time a short stay was exchanged for a more torturous waiting and waiting, and even love was humble, and he refused to look back and never regretted it, but he never escaped the arrangement of fate.
The three generations of melee, the darkness, countless casualties, in order to save the common people he chose to die together, the outbreak of her roar transformed into the god of the gods, the white-clothed Shengxue was full of anger, saved the earth, she stood alone on the top of the sea of clouds, the person who had promised to grow old with her is no longer there. When she learned that the only way to exchange his life was to get his life back, she didn't hesitate at all, and spit out all her divine power just to exchange the Yuan Shen for his mortal body, even if it was at the cost of her being annihilated, and she couldn't even see her for the last time. Her clean smile before disappearing was like a halo of light scattered on the mortal world where he was.
The third video clip is very short, and Wenwen's bright eyes in "Guardian" are particularly eye-catching in the dark night, whether it is full of anticipation or sadness and despair, any subtle changes are expressed through the eyes in the large close-up. Her caution, her dare not expect, her despair and pain all come from those eyes, which are truly distressing. So no one thought that Wenwen, who was always well-behaved and obedient, even if she was afraid of being sad, was hiding in the corner alone, and Wenwen would almost collapse and refuse to let go, she cried and fussed just to get back the only trace of warmth.
The last video is the editing of Meng Xin in "New Beginning", her messy hair and wrinkled clothes on the screen, coupled with dark circles and red and swollen eyes, make people laugh a little, obviously because of the loss of love and the mood is very low, but she still jumps up and is indignant, but she hides at night and holds back her tears and refuses to cry, she is stubborn and proud, but she can't escape the catastrophe of the girl breaking the cocoon into a butterfly.
Cheng Shuo watched all the videos second by second, the most stinging to his heart were Xiao Xia and Wenwen, a dedication to love is like the original her, he will never forget it, he almost clenched his fists and tried his best to endure the inner torment and push her away, he turned his head and walked away and didn't dare to look at her, was she as stubborn as Xiao Xia at the beginning. What made him even more painful was Wenwen's desperate eyes, which suddenly brought him back to the past she had said with a smile, the scar in her heart that would never heal. He once felt sorry for the past she had endured, and he had promised that she would not lose again, that he would be by her side for the rest of his life, and that he would make up for her shortcomings, but in the end, he did nothing.
Cheng Shuo clicked on the photo album and could hardly find photos of her outside of work, except for filming and participating in activities, there was nothing about her private life.
He watched her guest appearance in the stills of college students, exactly the same as the Zhuan in his memory, she used to be introverted and didn't like to contact people, but later she slowly loved to laugh, and there were more words, bit by bit changes, a smile and a cheek were engraved in his memory.
He looked at the stills of her cameo appearance as a strong woman, which he never thought of, from beginning to end in his mind, even if she grew up, she should be a gentle and plain woman.
He looked at the changes in her during his absence for three years, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find any clues that she came here.
In the dark of night, only the computer screen is still on in the whole room, and the clock is still walking in a tireless circle. He clicked on the video of her participation in the talk show, which was a gold medal talk show for the famous female host known for her delicacy, and it was also the only time she accepted a personal interview in the three years since her debut.
Dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans and canvas shoes, Cheng Shuo tied her long black hair into a ponytail, which made Cheng Shuo think for a moment that she was still the quiet, well-behaved and indisputable Lian on the college campus.
Moderator: "Welcome to Miss Zhuan Xin!"
He smiled and nodded, "Thank you." ”
Interviewer: "This is your first personal interview, right?"
He still smiled: "Yes." ”
Cheng Shuo looked at her on the screen, and Ran Ning said in the past that Zhuan Lian was not a girl who loved to laugh, but because of Qu Fei and herself, her smile increased. In his memory, her smile has always been warm, which makes him feel very steady, whether it is sad, helpless or even angry, it will fade in front of that smile and finally disappear. He loves to look at her eyes when she smiles, the original big eyes have become crooked, but now on the screen, although she is smiling, she is only raising the corners of her mouth, and there is no smile in her eyes, such a smile makes him feel extremely strange.
"There was a car accident in the summer vacation before my senior year, which hurt my ankle and wrist, so I couldn't participate in the scheduled competition, and I also missed the graduate exam. With a calm face, he downplayed the darkest and most difficult days of his life in just a few words.
"How could it have been a car accident?"
He paused slightly, and his expression was natural: "I don't remember clearly, I was already in the hospital when I woke up, and I couldn't move with a plaster cast, like a mummy." At this point, he even smiled a little mischievously, as if it was not difficult to recall.
The host's smile contained appreciation and understanding;
He bent down slightly and pointed to his ankle, "It's broken here, and it took a long time to walk", and then shook his wrist, "It's twisted here, and after raising it, my hands are raw." ”
Cheng Shuo watched her talk so lightly and casually about the injuries he had suffered, and every word pierced his heart fiercely.
"I heard that you had a good major in college, and you have always been the kind of excellent student who got a scholarship, this kind of should be able to secure a graduate school, right?"
"Yes, but I missed the review of the Baoyan. ”
"It's a pity, but life is always accompanied by gains and losses, if you hadn't missed the qualification of the research institute, you wouldn't have met Director Zhao Jin, and there would be no Xiaoxia that everyone likes. ”
He nodded in approval.
"I have interviewed Director Zhao Jin and Teacher Jiang Li and Teacher Zhang Zheng before, they are all very interested seniors, before this interview, our program team contacted them, and there are several directors and actors who have worked with you, recorded a short film, let's watch it together. ”
The seniors in the short film said that Cheng Shuo felt strange, and the person they were talking about was his own Zhuan, and how much did he miss, so that the once familiar and intimate lovers became incomprehensible.
After the short film was broadcast, the host asked, "I didn't expect it, did you?"
He shook his head and replied: "No, I really didn't expect there to be a short video recorded by them, I am very homely, I rarely go out when I am not working, and my friends are not very contacted, I am very grateful to them, I am really grateful." ”
To borrow a sentence from Director Zhao, some people will make people willing to take care of and protect without deliberately doing anything, because she has inadvertently given people enough touch and appreciation, and Zhuan is such a person. ”
After the applause of the audience, the host continued: "We all know that Director Zhao Jin has used more young actors in filming in recent years, and there are many of them that you have never worked with. He should be considered your Bole, what do you think of him?"
"Director Zhao is a very, very serious person, he must do the best in what he believes, sometimes the actor is not in a good state, he will help you adjust, guide you to find that scene, you can learn a lot of things from filming his scenes. "Trajectory" is my first time acting, and I have never been exposed to acting before, and my mind is completely blank when I get to the set, and my performance can be regarded as taught by Director Zhao. ”
"Bole and Teacher. In addition to Xiao Xia, Zhuan Lian has also made guest appearances in Director Zhao's other plays, right?"
"Yes, there were two cameos. ”
"I interviewed other actors who filmed Director Zhao's drama before, and they said that Director Zhao is very good to you, even when you lose your temper on the set, as long as you go, you are very kind, is this true?"
"It's a bit exaggerated, Director Zhao took good care of me, he taught me how to act and brought me to this circle. We don't usually have much contact, but as long as his play needs it, I will go unconditionally. ”
In the picture, the right hand is on top of the left hand, and a casual small movement does not escape Cheng Shuo's eyes, that is her habit, the habit developed by years of practice, and at that moment he felt that she was not a complete stranger.
His gaze swept over her ankle, it was he who caused her to re-injure the ankle she had once suffered, and the scar, I am afraid that it will never get better.
Cheng Shuo, all the words you said were all blown away by the wind.
Cheng Shuo in the dark couldn't see his expression, it's been seven years, it's been seven years since I first met you, these seven years, we have gone from knowing each other to knowing each other and then falling in love, and finally separated, and now we are reunited, Zhuan, are you okay?
