2. Chapter 2
The warm breeze was gently blowing, the branches and leaves of the willow trees by the lake were fluttering, Qi Shi stood on the side of the road, stretched out a slender hand, closed his eyes and felt the warm breeze with his heart. Comfort just gave her inspiration.
If you look closely, you will find that a few fingers have calluses, which are left by practicing the guitar for many years, which is a testimony of Qi Shi along the way.
Qi Shi tied up her long flowing and smooth hair today, and her neat ponytail made her feel a lot more energetic.
There was a musical note dancing in his heart, and after Qi Shi hummed a few words softly, he opened his eyes with satisfaction, and said to Sun Xuelan, who was bored playing with his mobile phone on the side: "Let's go, it's time for us to go to the press conference." β
The launch conference of the famous director Zhou Shishi's new drama "Double Impossible" is about to begin, and the crew and some media are in place, and only the heroine has not yet arrived.
"Director Zhou, who will play the role of the heroine, can you reveal it? Now everyone is here, but the female lead has not yet arrived, is she a big-name actor? β
"Yes, Director Zhou, is the heroine's late behavior considered a big name? Could you please answer me? β
"Director Zhou......"
The media asked, but did not see any displeasure in Zhou Shishi, on the contrary, he smiled from beginning to end, and his face was loose and sloppy with traces of time. His smile was kind and his voice was loud, "Everyone, don't be impatient, in fact, there are three minutes left before the start of the press conference, I dare to say that my female lead is definitely a dedicated actor, and I believe she will not let me down." β
"I'm sorry director, I'm late......" As soon as Zhou Shishi's voice fell, he saw a woman with a ponytail and oblique bangs appear in front of everyone, she was wearing a water-green over-the-knee dress with petals and streamer decorations, simple but not less delicate.
I saw her turn around and bow deeply to the media, and a "sorry" seemed dignified and sincere.
Except for the director, screenwriter and producer, no one present would have thought that the heroine of "Double Impossible" would actually be a popular actress Ling Yi! In addition, this is the debut work of Qi Shi, who was transformed from a singer, and it is necessary for everyone to believe that this drama is bound to be very exciting.
Ling Yi?! Qi Shi stood in front of a group of people, and next to him stood the male lead, screenwriter and producer. She couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the woman she had only seen on the TV screen. partnered with Ling Yi in the first play, Qi Shi really couldn't believe this kind of thing.
"That's it! Now that our female lead is here, let's start the boot press conference! β
Zhou Shi and Ling Yi came to the front of the crew, and Ling Yi stood beside the male lead.
"This is Yan Linghan, the actor who plays with you." Zhou Shi briefly introduced, "This is Qi Shi, playing your partner in the play." β
"Okay, hello Mr. Yan, hello Miss Qi, I'm Ling Yi, please give me more advice in the future." After shaking hands politely, and when he deliberately glanced at Qi a few more times, Ling Yi withdrew his gaze, and the press conference officially began.
As soon as the press conference ended, reporters flocked to the three leading actors and the director of Zhou Shishi for an interview.
"May I ask Ling Yi, this drama is your first time acting in a spy war movie, why did you take this drama, do you want to try a different style?"
"Hmm...... That's true, because I've been playing silly white sweet roles lately, and I just have the opportunity to try a role like an agent this time, so I want to try it. "Ling Yi's true thoughts in his heart: Who said that I want to try a different style, so what's wrong with playing stupid Bai Tian, if it weren't for the "fish-flavored shredded meat" that killed a thousand knives, I would have flown abroad to play!
"So didn't you push commercials and movies before and said that you were going to take a break for a while, why are you going to do this show now?"
"Hmm...... Yes, originally I wanted to take a break and go abroad for a vacation or something, but as soon as I saw the script of "Double Impossible", I immediately dispelled this idea, I think the script is very good and attracts me, so I don't want to let go of this opportunity. "Ling Yi's true thoughts in his heart: Alas...... Actually, I ...... Alas...... Never mind......
"May I ask Qi Shi, how do you feel about partnering with first-line actor Ling Yi in your first drama?"
Finally I didn't ask her...... Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Qi Shi to hear how she answered.
"Because this is my first drama, nervousness is inevitable, but I have seen Ling Yi's play, and I am very much looking forward to working with her."
"So may I ask Qi Shi, what do you think of your transition from a singer to the film industry?"
"I think art knows no boundaries, I love music, but I also want to get in touch with people outside the music industry and broaden my horizons...... In fact, sometimes people should not be confined to one circle, just like we are singer-songwriters, after staying in the circle for a long time, the inspiration will dry up one day, so I choose to jump out and change, I believe that these new things will bring me more inspiration in creation. β
Ling Yi saw that what Qi Shi said really made a little sense, and couldn't help but nod slightly, at this time, Qi Shi happened to look at her, and naturally saw her nodding, she believed that Ling Yi agreed with her.
"So is there any other reason besides that? For example, company arrangement? β
If it weren't for the fact that a camera was recording, Ling Yi was afraid that his eyes had rolled to the sky, and he couldn't help but slander: What kind of reporter is this? Is it really good to be so straightforward?!
However, Qi Shi did not express the slightest dissatisfaction, and still smiled like a flower, "There are indeed other reasons, but it has nothing to do with the company's arrangement, in fact, there is an actor I like very much in the film and television industry, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with him one day." β
Ling Yi didn't know who Qi Shi was talking about, but she was not blind, and Qi Shi's face was filled with a strong sense of happiness when she talked about that person. It seems that she really likes the actor.
"Can you tell us who it is?"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to reveal it."
Originally, they thought that Qi Shi's gentle temperament would answer whatever they asked, so the reporters didn't expect this to be her answer at all, and they were speechless for a while, and they quickly shifted their attention to Ling Yi again.
But obviously, Ling Yi didn't have that time to chat with them anymore, you must know that she has another talk show next, and if she doesn't rush over, she will obviously be late, and she doesn't want the program team and fans to wait for her for too long.
Saying sorry to his media friends, Ling Yi left in a hurry and walked out of the crowd.
"Ling Yi, don't leave yet, I still have questions for you! Ling Yi ...... "The reporter didn't seem to want to let go of this interview opportunity, but unfortunately Ling Yi left without looking back."
There were still reporters chasing Ling Yi next to him, and several security guards stopped them to prevent him from getting close to Ling Yi, not far away, Si was standing there and waving towards Ling Yi, Ling Yi nodded and signaled himself to go over immediately.
Qi Shi's eyes never took his eyes off Ling Yi's side, until she got into the business car and walked away, and there was no trace of her, and she realized that she was still doing an interview as if she had just woken up from a big dream.
Although Ling Yi has left, Qi Shi can also continue the interview, but Yan Linghan, who was sandwiched between Zhou Shi and Qi Shi, pursed his lips slightly, obviously embarrassed but still calm.
Yan Linghan is very young and just graduated from film school last year. Although he is a newcomer, he is a person that Zhou Shi values. Yan Linghan acted in a drama in his junior year, Zhou Shishi, as an alumnus and special guest tutor, happened to be present and watched his performance, Zhou Shishi believes that Yan Linghan has a faint sadness, but his line skills and stage control are very good at his age, and his acting skills are still a little young, but I believe that with more learning and accumulation, he will have a great future in the future. Therefore, Zhou Shi remembered such a student.
Until this year, this "Double Impossible" was born, and the male number one in it also had a melancholy temperament, which reminded Zhou Shishi of Yan Linghan, and he naturally took on the leading role.
"Ahem, you might as well interview Xiao Yan, he is the hero of our drama." Zhou Shi couldn't hold it back, no matter how Yan Linghan was recommended by him, he couldn't accept that the reporter snubbed him so much.
You can hear the Yan sΓΉ in Zhou Shishi's tone, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then handed the microphone to Yan Linghan one after another, and asked, "Yan Linghan, what do you think is the reason why Director Zhou values you so much and invited you to be the leading actor?" β
"I am very grateful to the director for giving me this opportunity, I believe that the director must have his reasons for choosing me, and I will do my best to play a role that satisfies everyone, thank you for your support, thank you." After all, he is a newcomer, the first thing to learn is to be modest, Yan Linghan's smile is shallow, and he does have a melancholy temperament, although he is not a handsome guy at first sight, but he is still very attractive.
Qi Shi always listened quietly, smiling, and looked calm, dignified and elegant. Her heart was full of anticipation, looking forward to Ling Yi being able to play a rival with her after she entered the group.
I'm looking forward to it, Ling Yi...... You don't seem to know about me, though, and I'm sure it won't be long before you do.
After the press conference, the crew was ready, and the actors, scene notes, lighting, stage design, etc., were waiting for Director Zhou Shishi to start filming.
