Chapter XI

There is almost no doubt that in the end, Mr. Li's Fei Fei did not pass the audition.

It was almost noon, Tong Yan rubbed his stiff neck and looked at Ling Zesheng beside him: "How many people are there?" ”

Ling Zesheng was looking down at the list of the few characters he had just selected, when he heard her voice, he glanced at her, and said in a cold tone, "A lot." He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's getting late, let's go to the office to solve the problem of food and clothing first." Continue in about half an hour. ”

Then he raised his hand and beckoned Li Jie, who was waiting in the back, and asked him to notify the audition actors and staff to go to dinner, and he called Tong Yan and Cheng Yuan to go directly to the office upstairs.

――

The three of them gathered around the coffee table in the office, each holding a boxed lunch in their hands. During this period, Cheng Yuan discussed with Ling Zesheng the several roles he had selected before, and Tong Yan listened to them quietly while cooking rice, completely turning himself into air.

It wasn't until Cheng Yuan poked his head out to look at the list that he said to Ling Zesheng: "The candidate for the second female number one has not been decided, and there are many people who come to audition, but I always feel that something is bad." Saying that, he turned his head to look at Tong Yan, looking for a sense of identity, "Did you say, screenwriter?" ”

Tong Yan was stunned, and subconsciously began to recall the plot in the script-

This script is a modern fashion drama, and the second female lead is a sweet-looking but scheming girl with a tragic ending, which is the so-called green tea. Everyone in the circle knows that there are only two consequences of playing this type of role, or because of the three-point acting, it has been stereotyped since then; Either the acting is completely inadequate, and it is forgotten, all in all, neither of which is pleasing.

So it's normal not to be favored.

Of course, this kind of big truth cannot be told very bluntly.

"Hmm," Tong Yan put the food in his mouth, "It feels like it's a little bit close." But there is no way to do it" When she said this, she suddenly couldn't continue, because Qiao Ge's face involuntarily flashed in her mind, and the back of her when she left her house that day, all of which made her inexplicably feel in line with this role.

Uh, do you want to introduce Qiao Ge?

But Tong Yan had already rejected her so clearly before, and now she is called again, will it seem that Tong Yan is very good?

Just when Tong Yan was still struggling, Ling Zesheng next to him seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said in a light tone: "If you have a suitable candidate, let her come over for an audition, if you can, it will also save us time." ”

"Oh" Tong Yan responded weakly, silently taking out his mobile phone from his pocket and texting Qiao Ge. Why not call? Because she really doesn't know what to say to her when the phone is connected, it is better to send her a text message similar to an interview notification type.

As for whether to come or not - that's not something she can control.

After editing the text message, pressing the send button, and just stuffing the phone back into his pocket, Tong Yan looked up and looked disapproving of Ling Zesheng. On the other side, Cheng Yuan was obviously accustomed to her approach, and while pulling his lunch box with chopsticks to find meat, he revealed her shortcomings in a cool tone.

"Zesheng, it's good if you get used to it. Wuli Tongyan has a nickname, called big lazy. Her laziness is not aimed at her work, but at interpersonal communication, she definitely belongs to the kind of person who can type and never speak; If you can text a text, you will never call; People who can avoid meeting strangers and trying to avoid them in every possible way.

According to Xia Qi's incomplete statistics, many company bosses left her contact information when she graduated that year, but she didn't save any of her phone numbers into her mobile phone. Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Tong Yan, "I once suspected that she had social phobia, but in the end it turned out that she was just lazy. ”

Tong Yan was speechless, and laughed twice at Ling Zesheng, who was looking at her with a thoughtful expression, and then lowered his head and seriously cooked rice.

――

received a call from Qiao Ge before returning to the audition venue, Tong Yan could hear her noisy background sound through the earpiece, it should be on the street, and Qiao Ge's voice was still a little panting, and it seemed to be walking fast.

She kept saying "thank you" to Tong Yan and something like "very touched", while Tong Yan was a little helpless holding the phone, because she didn't know how to respond to her at all, so she could only say very officially and objectively: "Actually, you don't need to thank me."

This interview is meant to be public, and I'm not entirely sure that the role will be yours in the end, so I hope you take it seriously and wish you success. After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Originally, Tong Yan hid in the corner of the corridor to answer the phone, but she didn't expect to see Ling Zesheng as soon as she turned around, and she didn't know how long he had been standing here.

Did he hear it all?

Tong Yan was a little weak-hearted, and just wanted to play haha with him, he heard Ling Zesheng speak: "Tong Yan, are you interested in coming to me as an official spokesperson, your rhetoric is simply a template." ”

His tone was very flat, and even his expression was extremely sincere, but Tong Yan still felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"Forget it." She shook her head, "I just like to live a simpler life, and if I have less contact with some unnecessary people, I can avoid some unnecessary troubles." ”

Tong Yan said this unintentionally, but in Ling Zesheng's ears, it was like an explanation. Then thinking of what she had said before that she didn't let anyone know about her return to China, Ling Zesheng suddenly felt that what she had just said was a bit abrupt.

Xu saw Ling Zesheng's thoughts, and Tong Yan immediately spoke before he spoke: "I didn't mean that. It's just that I'm really lazy, it's really just that. ”

When she said this, Tong Yan couldn't help but subconsciously pull the corners of her clothes, which was an action she would do when she was nervous since she was a child.

And her actions now fall in Ling Zesheng's eyes, in fact, there is no need to say any more, he also understands.

"Okay." Ling Zesheng smiled, and couldn't help but reach out and pat her head: "Why are you still the same as before, you are nervous at every turn." With that, he put his hand around her shoulder and led her downstairs.

Happiness sometimes comes so suddenly, until Tong Yan returned to the audition venue, she kept recalling the "touching the head killing" just now. That kind of pampering with a little helplessness inexplicably made her want to cry.

However, it can only be imagined, after all, some things have become very different from the past after the passage of time. Even if she has infinite nostalgia in her heart, and in the end, it is only limited to nostalgia, and no matter how much she thinks about other things, it can only be vain expectations.

――

The auditions in the afternoon went on as planned.

Tong Yan sat behind the square table and listened to a group of people read their lines for an afternoon, and the whole person was on the verge of a mental breakdown. But seeing that Ling Zesheng and Cheng Yuan next to him were still sitting upright, with serious expressions, Tong Yan could only swallow back the sentence "Can I go out to play for a while" that had already come to his mouth.

After a while, her phone began to vibrate, and she glanced down at Qiao Ge.

What a godsend!

Tong Yan secretly rubbed and poked Ling Zesheng's arm, leaned over his head and whispered, "My college classmate is here, call me." I'll go out and pick it up. ”

Ling Zesheng glanced at her sideways and nodded: "You go out and find Li Jie directly, and let your classmate take the brand." can't mess up the rules just because she knows the screenwriter, which has a bad impact. ”

Tong Yan was a little speechless, but immediately nodded: "Okay, got it." Then he rolled in the direction of the exit without stopping.

received Qiao Ge and threw her directly to Li Jie, and Tong Yan went back to the audition venue.

It's different when I go out for a walk, and I feel refreshed instantly. Tong Yan sat next to Ling Zesheng, he was not sleepy or tired, he could even concentrate on watching the actors who auditioned, and he could also have a simple exchange with Ling Zesheng.

Until a certain actor who auditioned for the male number three came on stage

Tong Yan had a little impression of him, but he couldn't remember it clearly, but he had a little bit of an eye, and then he paid a little more attention.

It wasn't until Ling Zesheng wrote the actor's name on the fixed cast list that Tong Yan remembered that he was the familiar person who accosted her this morning. But it doesn't seem to be a problem, so I didn't pay attention to it.

Because he came late, Qiao Ge was the last to participate in the audition.

Although she had a brief understanding of the script before going on stage, she didn't have enough time to prepare, so she was a little nervous just now and always forgot the words.

Tong Yan watched from the sidelines, faintly anxious for her in his heart. Just thinking about whether someone could take her, Ling Zesheng next to him stood up, he put down the script and list in his hand, and said casually: "I'll help you with the play." After speaking, he glanced at Tong Yan sideways, and the meaning in that gaze couldn't be more obvious-

It's not your friend, so I don't bother to care about her.

Tong Yan was suddenly a little stunned, didn't he say that he was not allowed to go through the back door! It's really fitting for you to open the back door so wide now!

Just when she was silently roaring in her heart, Ling Zesheng had already carried the script on stage. He stood opposite Qiao Ge, briefly glanced at his lines, and then lowered his hand to look at Qiao Ge again, his state had obviously changed.

That kind of look and feeling is basically the character in the play. And Tong Yan clearly remembers that the content of this scene is that the identity of the female No. 2 green tea is recognized, and then the male No. 2 cries and cries to find sympathy

Heh, who's going to pick this show?

Tong Yan was speechless, covering his face with one hand and feeling that Qiao Ge must be finished this time. Just when she was mourning silently in her heart, she heard Ling Zesheng's deep voice on the stage: "What else do you want to say?" ”

In a word, Qiao Ge was stunned for an instant, and then saw her look at Ling Zesheng's gaze dimmed, as if she had been brought into the play by him, and then she was heard sobbing in a low voice, and then spoke

All the lines flowed out of Qiao Ge's mouth like a cloud, and in the end, even Tong Yan was brought into the play. By the time Qiao Ge was over, the audience was silent for three seconds, and then everyone began to applaud.

In the end, there is no doubt that this role was given to Qiao Ge.

It's really an accident within an accident, a surprise outside of a surprise. But no matter what, Tong Yan still felt that if there was no help from Ling Zesheng this time, the final result would definitely not be like this, but Ling Zesheng's evaluation of this matter was very objective and rational - Qiao Ge was suitable for this role, and she deserved it.

I have to say that Tong Yan's heart was a little sour when he heard this.
