Chapter 99: The Truth (2)

Tell us about your understanding of the characters in the script? Here and now?

An Ning thought with her toes that Huo Ziqiu was obviously "a drunkard who didn't mean to drink", most likely because she had just discovered that she was listening intently and wanted to have a serious and educational conversation with her.

Not only her, but even Chen Chengcheng felt that Huo Ziqiu's words were a proper excuse.

An Ning saw her packing up her things at a lightning speed, standing up and wearing a scarf and mask, and nodding at Huo Ziqiu: "Yes, yes, yes, this is a serious matter, and it can't be delayed." That, Anning, I'll go back first, and I'll make an appointment later. ”

When he walked behind Huo Ziqiu, Chen Chengcheng didn't forget to turn around and wink at An Ning, eager to engrave the words "I created an opportunity for you, you should take advantage of the opportunity and not miss it and never come again" in his mind.

An Ning waved weakly at her, signaling her to leave if she was fine.

————

When Chen Chengcheng left, Huo Ziqiu sat down opposite An Ning generously, rang the bell and asked the waiter to replace the half-eaten snacks and drinks on the table.

He didn't look at the menu, and told the waiter directly: "Let's have a 'other side'." ”

"This store ......" waited for the waiter to leave, An Ning looked up again: "You opened this store, otherwise why wouldn't the clerk have no reaction at all when he sees a big star like you?" ”

Huo Ziqiu raised his eyebrows and didn't deny it.

If you don't deny it, that's a tacit acquiescence, An Ning thought, is this actor's hobby a little too extensive? not only worked with Shen Ping to create a studio, but also opened a small dessert shop in this place.

If you want to open a bar, you should also open a bar and nightclub to make money.

Of course. This is just a slander, after all, the money belongs to Huo Ziqiu, and he can't care how he likes to spend it.

"Okay, let's get down to business, tell me how much you've just heard?"

An Ning sat upright and made an honest confession: "It's not much, just a small part." If you look at this backrest yourself, you can wrap people up, and I'm not a good ear, how can I hear how much? ”

Huo Ziqiu was noncommittal. Hooked the corners of his mouth.

At this time. The "other side" he ordered was brought up, it was a small white cake, the shape was quite dreamy, and it was definitely something that only girls ten years ago would like.

An Ning dug a little with a spoon and ate it. The cake underneath is fluffy. But the cream on top is hard cream. The taste is very vintage.

Best of all, the taste is familiar.

An Ning liked a shop very much in her previous life, and its signature product was this hard cream cake. One of the most delicious is also called "The Other Side".

Although I am an actor, my diet needs to be strictly controlled, and sweets are especially not touched. But An Ning would still secretly go to eat every two or three weeks without telling Zhou Yun.

But four or five years ago, the store closed because it couldn't keep up with the times and didn't do well.

I didn't expect to be able to eat the same taste in Huo Ziqiu's store today, it seems that Huo Ziqiu is also a very nostalgic person.

Nostalgia is nostalgia, but An Ning put down the spoon after only taking a bite: "This kind of cake doesn't like to be eaten by many people now, it's too sweet and too greasy." ”

Huo Ziqiu's eyes were on this small cake, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, almost no one likes to eat it." ”

An Ning saw that he didn't mean to eat cake at all, so he simply stretched out his hand and pushed the plate in front of him, with a face full of disapproval: "Although it's too sweet, you can order it yourself, and you have to finish it on your knees." ”

"Have you ever heard the name Lu Yin?"

"I've heard ......"

An Ning's hand was still pushing the plate, and he was a little confused by Huo Ziqiu's sudden question, and subconsciously agreed.

When she reacted, she looked up at Huo Ziqiu, and saw that his expression hadn't changed much, but she smiled bitterly: "It's really not easy, there are still people who remember Lu Yin." ”

An Ning withdrew her hand and didn't speak, waiting for Huo Ziqiu's next words.

"You probably don't know that before I signed a contract with Fengyun, I was led by Sister Li. Lu Yin was another artist under Sister Li at that time. Although she is two years older than me, she is very reserved and shy......"

————

Lu Yin was an orphan who grew up in a welfare home, that is, an orphanage.

At the age of sixteen, he was discovered by Sister Li when he was working in a restaurant, and since then he has embarked on a different path.

When Huo Ziqiu signed under Sister Li, Lu Yin had been with Sister Li for eight years.

At that time, Huo Ziming didn't know where to find out about Huo Ziqiu's situation, found Sister Li, and put a little pressure on him. Although Sister Li can see Huo Ziqiu's potential and qualifications, on the one hand, she is a rich and powerful Huo family, and on the other hand, she is just a kid with no background.

She took it for granted that she was on the side of the Huo family, and in the past two years, she has hardly arranged any meaningful work for Huo Ziqiu.

This is why An Ning never saw Huo Ziqiu at the beginning, only Lu Yin.

Of course, Huo Ziqiu has not been idle in the past two years, he signed up for an acting training class by himself, and made up a lot of basic knowledge of acting.

One more important thing is that in the past two years, Huo Ziqiu has seen peace again.

In the two months in the film and television city, Huo Ziqiu and An Ning became friends. But An Ning has always been silent and silent, and although they are friends, they don't talk much.

But Huo Ziqiu's heart knew that peace was different, although this girl was about the same age as herself, she saw the world very thoroughly, she knew what she wanted, and decided to stick to it.

Even though this circle hides darkness and filth, and is full of unknown temptations and dangers, An Ning is still willing to do his best to find a place of light where he can stand.

She's not a warm person, but she's definitely a lot more open than most.

This kind of openness is the openness of oneself, the desire to be absolutely obedient to one's heart, and to keep rushing forward for this desire.

In the face of such openness, the little entanglement and uneasiness in Huo Ziqiu's heart suddenly became worthless.

For Huo Ziqiu, An Ning is a very special friend.

He also imagined that one day, maybe one day, at a film festival or a celebration party, he would reunite with old friends. At that time, I can toast her with a glass of wine and thank An Ning well.

He originally thought that this day would not be too far away, after all, he had seen An Ning's acting skills and understood her potential. As long as someone is willing to take a hand, An Ning can become a rising star and shine.

It's just that no one expected that two years after leaving the film and television city, he would see the peace of the gray face on the set of the yellow sand.

————

At that time, Huo Ziqiu stayed under Sister Li for a year, took on a few painless jobs, and spent the rest of the time learning acting in advanced classes.

Sister Li didn't know Huo Ziqiu's life experience, and she didn't care about his work arrangement at all.

Huo Ziqiu also knew that it was Huo Ziming and Sister Li who said hello.

And because he boasted about Haikou in front of Old Man Wang, saying that he would never rely on the power of the Wang family, he didn't tell anyone from the Wang family about it.

Huo Ziqiu is not in a hurry, he has been in the circle for more than a year, and he has slowly figured out the doorway between people.

He's just waiting for the right moment, for a good enough agent.

Although he and Sister Li are not in harmony, the relationship between Huo Ziqiu and Lu Yin is still good.

In fact, if you want to call Huo Ziqiu, Lu Yin has no potential to be an actor at all, except for a face that can still be seen, there is nothing.

Although An Ning doesn't like to talk, once she is in front of the camera, she seems to be talking to every hair on her body, which is simply an instinct. But Lu Yin, whether off-camera or on-camera, is always Mumu's appearance, not only does his voice speak very little, but his ability to read lines is even more miserable.

Lu Yin's most favored advantage by Sister Li is probably loyalty, or timidity. For eight years, there has been no improvement in his career, but Lu Yin has never had the intention of "changing jobs".

This made Sister Li 120,000 points satisfied, so she reciprocated and tried her best to find better resources for Lu Yin.

However, this "better resource" is only a general in the short man, in the final analysis, it is still a thunder drama, coupled with Lu Yin's unprofessional acting skills, it can only make the audience more disgusted with her.

It is said that "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier", which is put in the entertainment industry, that is, "an actor who doesn't want to be an actor is not a good actor", "an artist who doesn't want to be a superstar is not a good artist".

Actors who are a little ambitious are anxious to find a position for themselves, either powerful or idol. Those who have acting skills are going to win awards, and those who don't have acting skills are also going to stir up popularity.

There are also many who have no ambition and find a way out for themselves early. Either get some side hustles, or get married and have children early to seek stability.

It's really hard to find Lu Yin to get by like this.

She has almost no plans for the future, and she listens to whatever Sister Li says. I didn't think about how to improve my acting skills, and I never had the mind to stir up scandals, it was completely the psychology of "as long as you don't starve to death".

It can be said that her life is even more "bland" than her acting skills.

Originally, Huo Ziqiu didn't have much contact with her, after all, one was Sister Li's favorite concubine, and the other was already in a state of being beaten into the cold palace.

The intersection becomes more than a single visit.

At that time, Sister Li gave Lu Yin a good film, and the female No. 3 in it was unable to fulfill her contract because she suddenly fell ill. Sister Li helped Lu Yin raise a very low salary, successfully won this role, and temporarily entered the group in a hurry.

Because of the hurry, Sister Li didn't have time to ask Lu Yin for an assistant, and she had to fly to Hong Kong for another month.

At this time, Sister Li thought that there was still an idle Huo Ziqiu under her hand, so she ordered Huo Ziqiu to be Lu Yin's assistant for a while.

This TV series is called "Romance in the Sand Sea", and it was shown on CCTV once or twice after it was filmed, and the ratings were not high.

Coincidentally, An Ning also participated in this TV series. (To be continued.) )
