Chapter 40: Strength
"What are you arguing about?"
While Bai Jun and Wang Liuliu were arguing, the door of the dance studio was pushed open again, and a man and a woman walked in. The man who walked in front had a square face with a Chinese character and a non-smiling face, it was Yuan Changping, the head of the dance department.
As soon as Yuan Changping came in, the few girls who were still whispering immediately shut up, and Wang Liuliu glared at Bai Jun viciously, but did not speak again. Zhang Shanshan still looks like a little daughter-in-law who wants to talk and stops.
"The dance studio is not open today, don't you know?" Yuan Changping asked in a flat tone.
Wang Liuliu said: "Teacher Yuan, a few students said that there are a few dance movements that are not familiar with the practice, and they want me and Shanshan to guide them. We thought there was no one in the dance studio, so we ......"
"I just heard it outside the door, you guys seem to be discussing something about the characters?" The woman who walked in with Yuan Changping asked.
This woman looked to be in her forties, with a small and delicate face, and very docile eyebrows and eyes. Although she looks like an aunt next door, she is as amiable as her presence.
In fact, Anning never took his attention off her as soon as she entered the door.
This is the second time she wants to sigh today "I never thought of it" - I never expected Zheng Wei's so-called "old friend" to be Tang He.
The name Tang He has never been heard of by most people now. She was born into a family of scholars, her grandfather was a famous diplomat, and her parents were also famous scholars. Tang He was trained according to everyone's standards until she was eighteen years old, until she joined the drama club in college, and her enthusiasm for acting swelled like never before.
In order to be able to act, Tang He fell out with her family, and in a fit of anger, she changed her name and surname, and broke into the film industry alone.
That was 30 years ago.
However, Tang He only acted in two movies like a flash in the pan in the entertainment industry, both of which were not released in the domestic market for various reasons, but they were praised in overseas markets.
After filming these two movies, Tang He quickly disappeared from the entertainment industry.
The reason why An Ning knows Tang He is because he has repeatedly studied "Black and White" in these two movies in his previous life. An Ning had only been in the industry for a long time, and because her acting skills surpassed those of her peers, she couldn't help but feel a little proud, feeling that she belonged to the "genius" and the like.
Until I accidentally saw the movie "Black and White".
This film depicts a love-hate relationship during the war. The female protagonist is a patriotic female student, but the male protagonist is a traitor who bows down in front of the imperial army. They met in troubled times, and since then, they have been pulling and pulling, and their personal love and hatred are mixed with national hatred and family hatred, helpless and desolate.
Tang He's performance in this play is lightweight, and it is natural. An Ning couldn't believe that she was only twenty years old at the time.
It can be said that it was Tang He who gave her a blow to the head, which made An Ning completely abandon her attachment to her "talent", and began to study acting skills from then on.
Now, Tang He asked lightly, but Wang Liuliu and Zhang Shanshan didn't dare to answer.
Bai Jun said angrily: "It's because some people didn't get the audition, so they made it up behind their backs and slandered others out of nothing." ”
"What I said was right, everyone knew who performed the best in the audition that day, but in the end, Bai Jun was chosen, isn't there an insider?"
Tang He smiled: "So, do you think you have the best performance?" ”
Bai Jun sneered: "Of course not, it's at the level of her half-ass." She said and pulled An Ning forward: "The best person is standing here, if you want to ask, people will ask, you don't know what to worry about." ”
"You...... Is it tranquility? Tang He looked at An Ning and asked her kindly.
"Yes."
"Listen to Director Zheng, are you the heroine of his new play?"
Wang Liuliu and Zhang Shanshan glanced at each other, and their faces were not very good. originally thought that Bai Jun had picked up a big bargain, and An Ning was definitely not happy in her heart, who knew that people were picked to be the heroine.
An Ning calmly replied: "Yes, today is also Director Zheng who asked me and Bai Jun to come over to listen to your guidance." ”
"You are only twenty-three years old this year, and it may not be easy to pick the lead of Director Zheng's play."
"Acting has nothing to do with age, only with strength."
Tang He and Yuan Changping glanced at each other and nodded: "That's right, that's it, since you and Bai Jun also have rivalry in the play, how about performing a live performance and using your strength to block other people's mouths?" ”
"Okay, I'm fine." Bai Jun immediately shouted loudly. Since she got the script, she has watched several scenes of Xiaoxin many times, and she remembers the lines firmly.
An Ning also nodded: "Okay." ”
Tang He took out the script from his backpack, flipped through it, and said, "Let's play a scene of life and death." ”
That was the scene where Xiaoxin was dying.
——
Several stools were put together side by side, and it was the hospital bed where Xiaoxin was lying.
Bai Jun lay on it, and An Ning knelt beside her and held her hand.
"What to do, I feel a little nervous."
An Ning squeezed her hand: "Don't be afraid, didn't you perform well in the last audition?" ”
"At that time, there were few lines, and no one was staring at me." Bai Jun pursed her mouth, An Ning looked in the direction she signaled, Wang Liuliu and Zhang Shanshan sat side by side, their eyes were not very friendly.
Blinking quickly, An Ning stretched out a hand to gently brush away the broken hair on Bai Jun's forehead: "Then what's there to be afraid of." Don't worry, Xiaoxin, don't you still have me? ”
As Anning's actions were finished, Bai Jun's heart actually settled down strangely. It seems that he has really become the helpless Xiaoxin, and the only thing he can rely on is the joy of being more miserable than himself.
"Can we start?" Tang He asked.
An Ning nodded.
"Let's get started."
——
Xiaoxin and Xiqing, these two people who shouldn't have had anything to do with each other, met in a club called "Worm Er".
The so-called insect two, the wind and the moon are boundless.
At this time, Xiqing had learned to take drugs with Brother Liang, and had abandoned those fantasies about a better life. She lives a very practical life, after all, nothing is more important than supporting herself.
Even, gradually, she was able to mix like a fish in water in this Fengyue Field.
And most of the other sisters here are also living the same days as the festivities. During the day, it is described as withering, intoxicated with the pleasure of drugs; At night, the heavy makeup is wiped off and the work is carried out.
Until one night, Xiqing received a phone call, she hurried to the small clinic with heavy makeup, and saw Xiaoxin, who was dying.
