Chapter 4
***
Wang Xiangting entered the play very quickly, she was professional, and obviously had talent in this area, she stood in front of Bai Hetaro and bowed her head and called: "Lian'er." β
"Hmm," Bai Heyu continued, "Lord Wang, you're back." β
This is a scene between Fang Fujin and the supporting actor Ten Princes, at this time the prince has just retired and returned, he has just heard bad news, and he is worried at this time, but Fang Fujin doesn't know, she got up to untie his cloak for him.
Here the emphasis is on the prince's demeanor and expression, and the role of Bai Hetaro is just a foil - her movements are broken down into that, sitting, the prince comes and stands up, unfastens the cloak for the prince, hangs the hanger, and listens to the prince.
But this small scene, Bai Hetaro did not play well.
"Wrong," Wang Xiangting said, "She likes the prince very much, so she cares about her very much, the tone is not like this, you should be a little more warm, you are too flat, your expression is not right, at first it was gentle, and then I heard that there was a mutiny, your expression should become anxious and panicked." β
Bai Hetaro read it again.
Wang Xiangting still shook her head.
tried several times in a row, even if Wang Xiangting demonstrated it in person, Baihe taro ended in failure.
She really doesn't have any acting talent, she doesn't know anything.
"I don't have any talent," she herself knows, no matter how hard she tries, it's useless, Bai Hetaro said, "I know." β
She is not a person who is very willing to show her affection to others, especially after an accident at home, and she does not like to show too much affection - and it is difficult for anything to attract her interest and attention.
Yes, she was, until the last few days, when she noticed that she was strange - she had been feeling restless, why?
Once again, she realized that something was wrong with her.
And almost at the same time, the answer immediately flashed in her mind: Zhuang Yan.
As soon as she thought of the name, she remembered the feeling that night, Zhuang Yan's fingers ran across her palm, writing the name in the palm of her hand.
She remembered Zhuang Yan's kiss againβit was the first kiss of the white crane taro, but the white crane taro had not had time to taste it carefully, it ended too shortly, and even if it was an aftertaste, there was no way to fully recall the feeling.
Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Yan...... Bai Hetaro silently recited this name in his heart, it was this woman, they had only met once, but until now, Zhuang Yan's delicate face under the dim light was still very clear in Bai Hetaro's mind.
And her taste, the smell of her lipstick, that Givenchy lipstick, and that black lace business card, all of which were stored in her most delicate makeup case.
She's caring, she's caring about Zhuang Yan.
When she came to this conclusion, Bai Hetaro felt that she was incredible: she was so reluctant to betray herself, and when she thought of those fat, pot-bellied men, she only felt that she had a kind of disgust both physically and psychologically.
Ke Zhuang Yan ......
What is the difference between the conditions she offers and those men can offer?
She was obviously distracted, and Wang Xiangting couldn't help but be a little angry when she saw that she was absent-minded: "Bai Hetaro, since you have this opportunity, can you cherish it?" How many people can't ask for it, if you feel that the role is too small, you can do without it, and give it to someone who cherishes it more. β
Only then did Bai Hetaro come back to his senses: "I'm sorry...... I thought of something else......"
Wang Xiangting said "heh".
"Let's do it again," Bai Crane taro softened his voice, "You teach me how to do it, okay?" β
Even though she knew that this was useless work, she knew that Wang Xiangting would stop a little, and she didn't want to look at Wang Xiangting's anxious face anymore, which would affect her mood.
Wang Xiangting's face looked a little better, and she couldn't help muttering: "Please use dim sew, what a chance to come here, you are so distracted, why is the producer looking for you, why don't you look for me......"
Yes, Bai Hetaro also thought, why the producer was not looking for Wang Xiangting or someone else.
She and Wang Xiangting and Ran Die basically debuted at about the same time, the resources and exposure are about the same, Wang Xiangting has a sweet appearance, vibrant, and a little more popular, Ran Die takes the mature and sexy route, there is a male market, and the announcement is always someone else's, what she can get, very little, until now, she has only shot two commercials, and the rest are the work of some shopping magazine interior models, this is her first TV series, although it is a supporting role, but at least there are lines, not a trick, she herself knows that this is very important, just, no matter how it turns, there are companies like that small workshop that are better than her, and it can't be her turn, why choose her?
She tried her best not to think about Zhuang Yan, but when she thought like this, she couldn't help asking: Is it Zhuang Yan? Did she do it?
Why? They don't have anything to do with each other yet.
But on second thought, is it her? No, what does Zhuang Yan do? Is the Asian marketing director of a luxury brand connected to the entertainment industry?
She was already completely confused, and Zhuang Yan's appearance disrupted her original life, and she felt that everything was starting to get out of control.
If time were rewind five years, Bai Hetaro would never have imagined that he would be like this in the future.
Her family conditions are also good, her father does a small business, her mother helps take care of it, and there is only such a daughter in the family, who has naturally been pampered in the palm of her hand since she was a child.
Bai Hetaro has not suffered any grievances since she was a child, nor has she suffered any hardships, she is beautiful, her family is well-off, she has a boundless sense of security from her family, she has the best food and clothing, life is smooth sailing, she was obsessed with fashion design in high school, and when she arrived at university, she let her study in France to study fashion design.
In the words of Bai He's mother: No matter what Bai Hetaro learns or what kind of person she becomes, her family will always be able to make her live a good life.
But this situation took a turn for the worse until Bai Heyao's junior year: her father's business investment failed, he owed a huge amount of debt, and what made her even more unacceptable was that her parents took a plane to France to see her, and the plane crashed, and the remains have not been found.
Her parents may sleep forever in the Pacific Ocean and never be found.
What made her feel even more painful was that all the foreign debts owed by her father came from relatives, and when they heard about his death, they smelled blood like sharks, and the debts of parents and children did not need to be repaid, but the means needed to deal with such a little girl were too simple.
They took possession of the mansion where she had lived for twenty years, suing her that if she did not pay off those debts for her parents, she would lose all her memories forever.
Human feelings are a terrible thing, and Bai Hetaro can completely ignore that house, but the things in that house are too precious to him, and she often thinks of her bed in that big mansion when she lies on the hard bed in the company dormitory.
She still remembered the ornaments at the bedside, the Chinese knots her mother had braided for her, the coloring cards her father had made with her, and she couldn't and couldn't get rid of them.
She never told anyone about these things, and she didn't need to tell anyone about them, because no matter who she said to them, she didn't need any sympathy or disdain.
She was forced to drop out of school and return to China to start a long working life, design is a profession that requires money and a lot of time to accumulate, she has no work experience, no diploma, no money to do too much work, no agency in the country wants to hire her - they heard that he is a little girl who has not graduated from college, and they don't even want to see her work.
She can only do the work that she never thought of when she was a child, whether it is mental work or physical work, she is not up to it, she is too well protected, she is a flower raised in a greenhouse, nothing but beautiful blooming for people to admire.
But fortunately, she still has a beautiful face, she went to participate in the modeling recruitment, and was unexpectedly photographed by Jan and signed with this company.
Bai Hetaro lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She felt that she couldn't do anything, that she couldn't do anything, and at first, she couldn't even apply lipstick, and sometimes, she was a little self-defeating.
She thought, why didn't Mom and Dad take me away and leave me here alone to worry about.
But she didn't want to dieβlike most human beings.
In this contradictory and tangled state of mind, she fell asleep.
***
She was woken up by Wang Xiangting.
Wang Xiangting didn't pay much attention to the subtleties, wearing a black lace bra and purple cotton underwear, which was nondescript, she knelt in front of the white crane taro window and pushed the white crane taro hard.
"Get up, get up."
Bai Hetaro sat up from the bed, "What's the matter, it's so early, what time is it?" β
Wang Xiangting said: "It's eight o'clock, hurry up, you have to go to the audition at nine o'clock." β
In this regard, Wang Xiangting is more active than Bai Hetaro.
"I helped you pick out clothes, yours don't look good, wear mine." Wang Xiangting said and threw two pieces of clothes over.
The two of them are similar in stature, Wang Xiangting doesn't like to wash clothes very much, and the two sometimes borrow clothes from each other.
It is a pale pink vest dress with a cinched waist and a large skirt with orange-red poppies printed on it.
Bai Hetaro frowned: "It's cold outside......"
"Wear your red coat."
"Which one?"
"The one you bought last time H&M was on sale."
Bai Hetaro thought for a while: "It's not good-looking like that." β
Wang Xiangting said: "Then you can take it yourself." β
In terms of putting on clothes, Bai Hetaro has his own experience.
She washed her face, Wang Xiangting helped her put on makeup again, and when she put on lipstick, Bai Hetaro suddenly said, "Wait." β
Wang Xiangting was puzzled.
"Use this," Bai Crane Taro pulled out a Givenchy lipstick as if he was fascinated, "use this." β
Wang Xiangting glanced at it, and his face darkened: "Ran Die's?" β
"She sent me."
"You're not disgusted with what she's used."
"It's new, she doesn't think the color looks good, she hasn't used it."
Bai Crane Taro rarely had an argument with Wang Xiangting, Wang Xiangting was surprised that she was strange today, but she didn't say anything more, took the lipstick, and put it on for Bai Crane Taro.
The two of them went downstairs to take a taxi, and according to Jan's text message, they went directly to the set to audition, which was in the suburbs, a little distance.
The company does not have a car, nor does it have an assistant, and they generally go to auditions and the like.
In the car, Wang Xiangting said: "Do you know why I went with you? β
Bai Hetaro was groggy, she didn't sleep well last night, and now she is a little uncomfortable, hearing Wang Xiangting ask, she still shook her head.
Wang Xiangting said: "I checked on the Internet, their crew is open for casting, and they are still open for auditions, and there are a few small roles, I read the novel again yesterday, maybe I can try it." β
"No, I can definitely try." Wang Xiangting said again.
Bai Crane Taro smiled.
"You can."
The taxi driver asked, "Are you going to audition in the movie city?" β
Wang Xiangting responded.
The driver said, "A lot of little girls, you are so beautiful, you will definitely be a big star in the future." β
This sentence successfully pleased Wang Xiangting, but it could not please Bai Heyao.
The driver apparently knew the road by heart and arrived quickly.
The movie city was really overcrowded, especially the young girls, and Bai Hetaro suddenly became nervous.
Wang Xiangting said: "It's okay, I should be nervous." β
The white crane taro wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh.
