Chapter 150: The Return

It didn't take long for Zhou Ling to push the door in, and as soon as he came in, he greeted Zhong Yi and An Ning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

An Ning saw her coming up alone, and asked curiously, "Why hasn't your agent come yet?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming, but she just received a call, it's Yinghui's artist that there is something wrong, and she will give me the things and go back." Zhou Ling raised the paper bag in his hand: "I bought it for you to eat, it's all low-calorie snacks, and I often eat it myself." ”

Zhong Yi smiled and took the snacks handed over by Zhou Ling, "It just so happens that I'm a little hungry, but Sister Ling is still so understanding." ”

"The artist of Yinghui?" An Ning keenly sensed this phrase, took the snack and said thank you, and casually mentioned it: "I heard that your agent is just in charge of you, why do you still care about other artists?" ”

Zhou Ling paused, "How to say it, there are no secrets in this circle, and I don't have to hide it from you." In fact, it is because of the recent quarrel between Qiao Zitong and the company...... Her agent Zhou Yun didn't know where to offend before, and she broke a leg, and she didn't care much after she got better. After "Perfect Lover" was withdrawn from prime time last month, she decided that the company was targeting her......" Zhou Lingyu said with regret: "Originally, after An Ning died, the company planned to vigorously cultivate her, but she was a little too anxious." ”

Zhong Yi didn't speak, but there was a little disdain in his eyes. She is about the same age as Qiao Zitong, but she has already won the Best Actress, and she is indeed very qualified to look down on a third-rate actor like Qiao Zitong.

An Ning asked again: "Who did Zhou Yun offend then?" I've always been a little curious, there is no reason for a seasoned agent like her to make such a big trouble for herself? ”

"I don't know about this, after all, it's someone's private matter." Zhou Lingsi gently diverted the topic with two strokes, "By the way, I haven't asked yet, who is this girl who has been bowing her head and not wanting to look at me?" ”

She walked in a few steps to the silent actor who had no sense of existence, "I'm Zhou Ling, Yinghui's artist, what do you call it when we meet for the first time?" ”

The man slowly raised his head, "Hello, I'm Wen Xuan." ”

When she lowered her head just now, An Ning only vaguely saw a side face, and now that she raised her head, An Ning realized that she was far younger than she imagined, just because of her beautiful silhouette and three-dimensional and deep facial features, she looked younger. But even from a distance of several meters, An Ning could still see the wrinkles on her face, snaking in the corners of her eyes and mouth.

"Wen Xuan?" Zhou Ling was obviously stunned for a moment, "Are you also here to audition?" ”

"Yes, it was Director Dong Yan who called me to come." Wen Xuan's expression has always been calm, "By the way, you don't need to introduce yourself, I don't care who you are." ”

Zhou Ling didn't expect her to be so unenthusiastic, her face showed a little embarrassment, and in the end she didn't say anything and retreated silently.

"What kind of attitude does she have, that is, Zhang Die's predecessors are not so horizontal, every time she sees us, she is amiable, this person is not young, she is not famous, and she is so impolite, where did Director Dong find the person!" Zhong Yi was upset for Zhou Ling and said indignantly in a low voice.

"Forget it, maybe she's such a character, it's okay, it's good if everyone gets familiar with it in the future." Zhou Ling comforted Zhong Yi in turn.

An Ning looked at Wen Xuan, and she lowered her head to play with her phone again.

――

Dong Yan is very efficient in doing things, and he said that the audition that started at two o'clock would not be a second late.

Zhou Ling and Zhong Yi were both invited into the conference room next door, and only An Ning and Wen Xuan were left in the room.

"What are you staring at me all the time?" Wen Xuan came lukewarmly, and An Ning realized that she had been staring at her for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I just think you're familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you for a while." An Ning said honestly, "The more I can't remember, the more I think about it, that's why I'm staring at you in a daze." ”

Wen Xuan lowered her eyes: "What, when you come to interview Dong Yan's movies, you don't do your homework to see what movies he has made?" ”

As soon as she said this, An Ning suddenly remembered that Dong Yan's only movie "Sea Flower" narrated from a female perspective, and the actor who played the heroine was called Wen Xuan.

It's just that compared with Dong Yan's other movies, "Flowers of the Sea" is too ordinary, and Wen Xuan has no other works except for this movie. So much so that more than ten years later, the new generation of Xiaohuadan can't recognize this predecessor in the film industry.

Around three o'clock, it was finally An Ning's turn to enter the arena, she nodded politely at Wen Xuan, gently pushed open the door and walked out.

――

"Lao Dong, I don't know much, didn't you bring Wen Xuan back this time just to act in a new film? Why are you still making it so complicated, and what are you doing auditions? Dong Yan's friend for many years and his early partner, the famous photographer Youzhang complained to him half-truthfully.

Dong Yan didn't answer his words, "What do you think of the performance of the two people just now?" ”

"Zhou Ling's acting skills have improved a lot over the years, but there are more TV series, and her current performance mode is stiff. Yinghui received one advertisement after another for her, and even if she had a little aura, it was polished by commerce. Fu Youzhang snorted twice from his nose, "Zhong Yi is not bad, but he is still young and still needs to be carved, after all, not everyone is born to act like Zhang Die." ”

Dong Yan smiled: "Zhang Die is not interested in acting now, but Ziqiu recommended a newcomer to me, I look pretty good, you also help me check it today, it's hard to find good seedlings in this circle." ”

"That kid, I've been too busy lately, and I still have time to recommend new people to you?" Fu Youzhang said with a smile: "I think that this time this role is none other than Wen Xuan." After all, this movie can be regarded as a sequel to "Flowers of the Sea". ”

Dong Yan didn't refute, just nodded slightly, noncommittal.

――

There are only two people auditioning, and An Ning is not the first time to face it, but if these two people are Dong Yan and Fu Youzhang, even an old man who has been acting for more than ten years will be a little nervous.

"Meng Anning, as soon as he debuted, he could be taken by Zheng Wei, and he played with Huo Ziqiu, and the starting point was very high." Fu Youzhang looked at the information in his hand and gave a few pertinent comments.

"Senior Huo said that the luck of powerful people will not be too bad." An Ning hurriedly pulled his boss out to save the scene.

Fu Youzhang smiled, "This really looks like he would say it, and you are also very brave enough to dare to put his words on yourself." ”

"Listen to Huo Ziqiu, you like my movie very much?" Dong Yan's somewhat gray eyebrows moved: "Have you watched "Sea Flowers"? ”

"Of course, 'Flowers of the Sea' is your only film with a female protagonist, which is very special."

Fu Youzhang added coldly next to him: "It is also his only film with a box office that is lower than the cost." ”

"Flowers of the Sea" was filmed twelve years ago, telling the story of the aristocratic lady Li Hairong in the sixties and seventies of the last century, who yearned for freedom and tried every means to cross the ocean to France. The storyline is bland and depressing, and the narrative technique seems lengthy, which is indeed not popular with the mass market.

"Since you've seen it, then the theme of your performance today is return," Dong Yan cut straight to the topic, "Li Hairong resolutely stepped on the ship to France without everyone understanding it, more than ten years have passed, if she comes back, what will happen?" ”

An Ning instantly thought of Wen Xuan, who was still in the waiting room next door, who had not seen him for more than ten years, and returned quietly, Wen Xuan was clearly the realistic version of Li Hairong. Although the box office of "Sea Flower" is very poor, Wen Xuan's interpretation is very exciting, and it can be said that she and Li Hairong have become a whole. If this story is based on the story of Li Hairong, which is derived from "Flowers of the Sea", then of course the protagonist is none other than Wen Xuan.

"What, I don't know how to act?" Dong Yan saw An Ning frowning in contemplation, and asked.

"It's a bit difficult." An Ning admitted, "I need a few minutes to think about it. ”

Dong Yan nodded, "No problem." ”

The ending of Li Hairong in "Sea Flowers" was not explained in the movie. In order to go to France, she fell out with her parents, broke up with her lover, endured all kinds of gossip, and finally set foot on the ship to France. But when the ship started and she looked back at her country from the bow of the ship, her eyes showed trepidation. No one knows whether Li Hairong longs for France, or the freedom she has so hard to pursue, and no one knows what kind of feelings she has for her loved ones and the motherland. All we know is that after that ship set sail, there was a storm at sea, and no one knows if Li Hairong is still alive......

An Ning didn't know either. Just browsing the movie twice is not enough for her to deeply understand the inner world of the heroine. Dong Yan takes "return" as the exam question, and the return she deduces can only be her own return.

――

An ordinary chair on which An Ning sits. She sat very well, taking up only a third of the entire chair, her legs slightly tilted together, and her back was straight. This is the standard sitting posture of everyone's ladies, but she has a dodging look to tell the audience that she is nervous, or rather, "Lee Hae-yong" is nervous.

She smiled slightly, "My name is Li Hairong, when I was first named, my father said, 'The sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great', this is his expectation of me, always hoping that I will use the strength of a gentleman to tolerate everything, and I obviously live up to his expectations." ”

This paragraph of Li Hairong's self-introduction is the narration at the beginning of "Flowers of the Sea", and it is also the only line that An Ning remembers completely.

Fu Youzhang nodded, and whispered to Dong Yan: "That's good, I can memorize the lines, it seems that I have put in a lot of effort." ”

Dong Yan didn't speak, remembering that the lines were not something to boast about, what he liked was the same line, and the performance given by An Ning was a completely different feeling from the heroine in "Flowers of the Sea".

At that time, Li Hairong, although he was also melancholy, was a pampered aristocratic lady after all, and the degree of melancholy was still very superficial. As soon as An Ning spoke, there was some melancholy in his tone, as if he had experienced life and death, and had seen all the warmth and coldness. This feeling is what makes it worth working on.

An Ning lowered her head, and her right hand unconsciously began to rub the ring finger of her left hand, where she once wore a ring that was given to her by Li Hairong's lover. "It's been a year since I've been back, and I've always wanted to see my old friends. But they all thought I was dead," Speaking of this, An Ning turned his head, a trace of tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, "After thinking about it for a long time, forget it, don't disturb their peaceful life." ”

After a long pause, a trembling voice finally returned to normal, "I went to see the tombstone they built for me, it was very delicate and very attentive, you may not believe it when you say it, it is really the same as the tombstone I once imagined." An Ning smiled not very good-looking, "It's just that I didn't think that one day I would live to see my tombstone." ”

……

"Do you regret asking me?" After pausing for a while, An Ning said slowly but firmly, "How can you regret it?" I was born for freedom, and I should give everything for freedom. I thought I was going to die, but luckily, God gave me a chance. She smiled again, this time calmly and powerfully, "Throughout my life, I still yearn for freedom, and I will cherish the life I live again." Even if I have died in the past, even if no one remembers my existence now...... So what? My freedom, after all, is only my own freedom, and it has nothing to do with them. ”

――

"My freedom, after all, is only my own freedom, and it has nothing to do with them." Fu Youzhang repeated her last sentence and nodded: "This sentence is very in line with Li Hairong's state of mind, she is actually a paranoid." ”

Dong Yan ignored his friend's complaints and asked An Ning: "Have you watched "Sea Flower" many times? ”

An Ning shook his head: "There are not many, and my understanding of the role is not very deep, but it is just combined with some of my original performance experience, and this monologue is actually a bit opportunistic." ”

"There is no such thing as opportunistic acting, no matter where your inspiration comes from, as long as it is well combined with the character, it is a good performance." Dong Yan nodded, "Your performance is far better than I imagined, Ziqiu's recommendation is right." ”

An Ning pursed her lips, a little apprehensive in her heart.

"I'll give you an answer when the last one auditions are over." Dong Yan's answer to An Ning was the same as that given to Zhou Ling and Zhong Yi.

"Okay."

Before An Ning was about to leave, Dong Yan stopped her again, "Have you seen Wen Xuan?" ”

An Ning nodded.

"What do you think of her?"

"I seem to see Li Hairong who left Shanghai back then," An Ning thought for a while, "If it were her, I think I might be able to truly deduce Li Hairong's state of mind in the past ten years." ”

Walking out of Dong Yan's company, Shen Ping's car was already waiting downstairs, and Shen Ping poked his head out of the window: "How is it?" ”

An Ning spread his hands: "It's a little hanging." ”
