Chapter 23

When Gu Xue and her party arrived, there were still 5 or 6 minutes before the official start of the audition, Ye Huayu and several other film creators were already in place on the spot, and all preparations were basically ready.

At 10 o'clock, Mu Qiancheng walked into the studio on time, accompanied by Wen Minxuan, the president of Wenying Media. Wen Minxuan glanced around, and when he saw that Gu Xue was also here, he couldn't help sneering: "Mr. Gu is quite idle, and he specially accompanied the artist to audition?" ”

"Each other, aren't you here too, Mr. Wen?" Gu Xue replied lightly, and then moved her gaze elsewhere.

After everyone arrived, the audition officially began.

In order to judge more objectively who is more suitable to play the male lead, Ye Huayu decided to let the actor perform with makeup, so before starting the performance, Sui Yun and Mu Qiancheng went to the dressing room to change their costumes.

This time it is a costume drama, the male number one is a prince, in this scene, the protagonist is wearing a set of moon-white brocade robes, in addition, middle clothes, middle pants, felt boots, etc., the full set is the same.

Sui Yun took off all the clothes outside, leaving only a close-fitting white vest, and the costumer stood beside him, putting costumes on him one by one.

Mu Qiancheng caught a glimpse of the silver pendant on the other party's chest, and couldn't help asking: "Did you wear that lock plate around your neck since you were a child and used to ward off evil spirits?" ”

Sui Yun looked at his chest and replied indifferently, "No." ”

Mu Qiancheng smiled, "It can't be a token of love, right?" ”

When Gu Xue gave him the pendant, Sui Yun didn't expect that he would one day fall in love with the girl in front of him, now in retrospect, that encounter should be regarded as the beginning of the fate of the two, he didn't know what Gu Xue thought in his heart, but in his heart, he did see this pendant as a token of love.

Thinking like this, he hummed unconsciously.

Mu Qiancheng's smile deepened, "Isn't it?" Is it really a token of love? ”

Sui Yun stopped saying a word, and concentrated on changing his clothes, Mu Qiancheng raised his arm and let the costumer tie his belt for him, but he was still thinking about the pendant in his heart, "Can you show me your lock plate?" ”

Mu Qiancheng was purely curious, he wanted to know what was so special about the object that Sui Yun regarded as a token of love?

Sui Yun actually didn't want to take the pendant down, but if he didn't let the other party see it, he would look too stingy, and after hesitating for a moment, he still took off the pendant and handed it over.

Mu Qiancheng took it, put it in the palm of his hand, and then, pinched the lock plate and looked at it again and again for a while, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was a very ordinary object, and he couldn't see anything special at all.

At this time, Sui Yun had already changed his clothes and was sitting in front of the makeup mirror to put on makeup, the young stylist was holding a sponge and kept putting foundation on his face, he was inconvenient to move, so he couldn't put the pendant back for a while. So, he said to Xin Ni on the side: "Sister Xin, you can collect it for me." ”

Xin Ni took the pendant from Mu Qiancheng's hand, looked at it in front of her, and saw that it was just an inconspicuous silver cleat, so she didn't pay much attention to it, and casually put it in her pocket.

Taking advantage of the actor's makeup, Xinni went to the bathroom, and when she came out, the mobile phone in her pocket just rang, she hurriedly reached out to take it out, but at the same time as she took out her mobile phone, the string of silver pendants was also brought out and fell directly to the ground, and the ringtone of the mobile phone covered up the sound of the utensils falling to the ground, so Xinni didn't notice it.

After about 5 minutes, Mu Qiancheng walked in the direction of the bathroom, and when he passed the door of the women's toilet, he stepped on a hard object under his feet, he looked down and saw that it was actually Sui Yun's pendant, he immediately picked up the thing and pinched it in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Sui Yun's agent was really careless enough, and he actually lost other people's love tokens.

After returning to the dressing room, Mu Qiancheng felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. Sui Yun stood in front of the makeup mirror with a cold face, as if she was in a bad mood, and Xinni on the other side was hurriedly rummaging through her coat pocket, and kept muttering: "I obviously remember to put it here, how can it not be there?" ”

Sui Yun frowned slightly, "Sister Xin, think about it again, where did you fall?" That thing is important to me, and it must be retrieved. ”

"I just went to the bathroom, did I drop it somewhere? I'll go up there and take a look. Xinni was also a little anxious, she didn't take that thing too seriously, but seeing that Sui Yun cared so much, she began to realize that she seemed to be in trouble. So, after saying this, she went straight to the toilet.

Sui Yun's face was ugly, and the whole person looked wilted, from the first time he saw the pendant, he had a special feeling about it, and besides, it was given to him by Gu Xue, which became more and more important.

Mu Qiancheng stood at the door of the dressing room for a while, suddenly clenched his fists, and put his right hand behind his back, he originally planned to return the pendant to its original owner, however, when he saw that Sui Yun was anxious and even a little depressed because of the loss of the pendant, he immediately changed his mind.

Sui Yun is his competitor, the two are competing for the same role, the worse the other party's state, the more beneficial it is to himself, so Mu Qiancheng decided to put away the pendant first, and then return it to Sui Yun after the audition.

Mu Qiancheng exited the dressing room, walked to a place where no one was around, quietly put the pendant in his hand around his neck, and then hid it in his collar. After a few double-checks, he pretended to be casual and walked into the dressing room again.

Until he was urged to return to the studio, Sui Yun still couldn't get his things back, he was in a very bad mood, he entered the house quietly, didn't say hello to anyone, Ye Huayu handed him the script, and he just nodded absentmindedly.

Today's scene is about the actor Song Yu who found out that his princess had betrayed him, and privately reported to the ninth prince Song Heng, so he called the other party over and questioned him. The actress who played the princess was not present, so this section was basically a one-man show, and all the princess's lines were skipped.

Sui Yun was the first to perform, however, he was in a bad state today, frequently reciting the wrong lines, and even his facial expression was extremely stiff, which was completely different from his appearance on the set on weekdays.

Ye Huayu's brows became tighter and tighter, and he had to shout to stop, "Sui Yun, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Sui Yun lowered his head and was silent, he didn't know what was wrong with him, usually before the start of filming, he could feel the emotions of the protagonist, as if he was really incarnated as a character in the play, but today, he had no clue at all, and he didn't know how to act.

Could it be that it was because the loss of the pendant affected his feelings, so it made him restless and unable to concentrate?

Sui Yun was still in a trance, but Ye Huayu opened his mouth again, "Do it again." ”

So, Sui Yun played it from the beginning again, but this time it was even worse, he was simply reciting his lines stiffly, without any emotion at all.

Ye Huayu's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and Wen Minxuan on the side was in a good mood, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, quite satisfied with the performance in front of him, he was really satisfied with Sui Yun's appearance today, originally he was still thinking, in case the other party's appearance was excellent, how should he deal with it, but now it is easier.

Gu Xue bit her lower lip tightly, and really pinched a handful of sweat for Sui Yun, she turned her head and whispered to Xin Ni beside her, "What's wrong with Sui Yun today?" ”

Xin Ni was a little depressed, "In the dressing room just now, I lost Sui Yun's pendant, I guess this incident affected him." ”

Gu Xue chuckled in her heart, "Pendant? ”

"Yes." Xinni nodded, "Sui Yun has always worn it on his body, so it should be very important to him." Just now, he handed over his things to me for safekeeping, and I lost them. ”

Gu Xue knew in her heart that it should be the silver pendant she gave to Sui Yun, but she couldn't figure out why Sui Yun cared so much about it, wasn't it just something she gave away casually? It's not worth a few bucks.

On the other side, Ye Huayu finally couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted again, "Sui Yun, you go to the side to rest and find your feelings, Mu Qiancheng, you come first." ”

Mu Qiancheng answered, and walked quickly to the center of the studio, he was in quite good shape today, full of performances*, eager to interpret his inner feelings.

Mu Qiancheng's gaze slowly moved down, looking at a place in front of him, as if there was his princess kneeling there, he put his hands behind his back, slowly paced forward two steps, his eyes suddenly cold, "This king treats you well, why do you want to do this?" ”

After saying this, he paused for a few seconds, moved his gaze into the distance, and a sneer appeared on his lips, "What benefits did Song Heng give you, and it was worth taking such a big risk?" ”

After a few more seconds, he suddenly waved his hand violently and glared angrily, "Enough, I don't want to hear you say this, come on, take the princess down, and don't let her step out of the door without my order." ”

Although there were no actresses to play the role, several people present had the script in their hands, and they knew very well what the princess should say at the moment. Mu Qiancheng grasped the personality, emotions, and reaction to the princess's words very well. It can be said that this performance of his was quite successful.

"It's a great act." Wen Minxuan applauded lightly a few times, and looked at Ye Huayu with a smile, "Teacher Ye, what do you think?" ”

Ye Huayu snorted, and his eyes also showed appreciation. He had watched the movie played by Mu Qiancheng before, his acting skills were mediocre, and his line skills were also very average, but the other party's performance today was really impressive.

Although Mu Qiancheng played extraordinarily, in Ye Huayu's mind, Sui Yun was still the best candidate.

Sui Yun has a calm personality, not arrogant or impatient, after changing into costumes, he looks more and more stable and introverted, heroic and compelling, and he is the calm and solemn Song Yu in the play, relatively speaking, Mu Qiancheng's image is more suitable for playing the male number two Song Heng.

Ye Huayu always felt that Sui Yun was powerful, and the other party just played abnormally, so he looked at Sui Yun again, "Sui Yun, you play it again." ”

Sui Yun rested for a while, but he still didn't get his senses back, he watched Mu Qiancheng's performance just now, and he became more and more unconfident. Standing in the middle of the room, facing a dozen familiar or unfamiliar faces, his mind went blank and he forgot what lines to say.

Time passed minute by minute in silence, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward, Xinni finally couldn't help but stand up, "Teacher Ye, Sui Yun is not in a good state today, can you change the time and audition again?" ”

Before Ye Huayu could answer, Wen Minxuan on the side preemptively opened his mouth, "Yueheng's artists are really big enough celebrities, and they ask the crew to change the time at every turn, have you considered other people's schedules?" ”

Let him choke like this, Xin Ni stopped talking, Ye Huayu thought for a moment, turned his head and smiled at Wen Minxuan, "Mr. Wen, it's better to audition another day, I just have another scene I want the two of them to try." ”

In front of so many people, Wen Minxuan still gave the other party some face, he softened his tone and replied, "Then listen to Teacher Ye." ”

******

After Mu Qiancheng returned home, he went directly to the bathroom to take a shower.

The water in the sprinkler head flowed down loudly, and there was a lot of water and vapor around him, Mu Qiancheng squeezed some shower gel, wiped it evenly on his body, wiped and wiped, he suddenly felt a silk thread hanging from his neck, and then he reacted, before taking a bath, he forgot to take off the pendant.

Mu Qiancheng originally planned to return the pendant to Sui Yun as soon as the audition ended, but when Ye Huayu said that he would audition another day, he suddenly changed his mind.

Today's table is simply obvious, but in this case, Ye Huayu is still partial to Sui Yun, which makes Mu Qiancheng very unhappy, so he temporarily changed his mind and decided not to return the pendant.

In fact, there was another reason for him to do this, he had a vague feeling that this pendant seemed to bring him good luck. I wore it for an audition today, and as a result, the state was surprisingly good, even he didn't expect that his acting skills were so superb that he played the characters vividly.

Mu Qiancheng is not superstitious, but he occasionally wears something like a lucky bracelet, and now, he has regarded this silver cleatle as his lucky pendant, and intends to wear it on his body for a long time.

******

In the office of the president of Yueheng Pictures, Gu Xue sat on a leather chair and looked at Sui Yun opposite with an indifferent expression, "What's wrong with you today?" ”

Sui Yun sighed helplessly, "I don't know what's wrong with me, when I auditioned just now, my mind was blank, and I didn't know how to act." ”

Gu Xue was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "I heard Xinni say, you lost a string of pendants, is it the one I gave you?" ”

Sui Yun was stunned and hummed softly, although he liked Gu Xue, he had never confessed, and when he suddenly talked about the pendant, he always felt a little embarrassed.

"Is it because this incident affects you?" Gu Xue asked tentatively.

Sui Yun was silent, he wasn't sure that his abnormality today must have something to do with this incident, but he knew that that thing was very important to him, and he must get it back.

Gu Xue was a little puzzled, "It's just an ordinary silver cleat, and it's not worth a few dollars, if you like it, you can buy another similar one, there's no need to care." ”

Sui Yun's expression gradually became stricter, "This pendant is very important to me. ”

Sui Yun didn't explain why, but from his eyes, Gu Xue could see that the other party was not joking, she sighed softly, and reluctantly made a compromise, "Xinni has been looking for so long and hasn't found it, it is estimated that she was picked up by someone else, there should be monitoring in the Wenying headquarters building, I will go to them tomorrow and check the monitoring." ”

The next day, Gu Xue called Wen Minxuan, and on the phone, she told Wen Minxuan that she had lost something in the other party's company yesterday, and hoped to take a look at the monitoring at that time. Wen Minxuan didn't ask too much, and readily agreed.

Gu Xue took Sui Yun to the monitoring room and asked the staff to call up the monitoring in the corridor from 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock yesterday morning.

At 11:35, the figure of Sinny appeared in the picture, she came out of the dressing room and walked in the direction of the bathroom, more than 1 minute later, Sinny came out of the bathroom and answered a phone casually, when she took out her mobile phone, something seemed to fall out of her pocket.

Although it was not clear what it was, based on Cinny's previous account, it could be judged that it was the pendant that fell out of her pocket.

At 11:42, Mu Qiancheng's figure appeared on the screen, he was also walking in the direction of the bathroom, and when he passed the door of the women's toilet, he suddenly stopped, then squatted down, and when he stood up, he had one more thing in his hand.

"Stop." Gu Xue shouted at the staff, and the other party immediately pressed the pause button, and the picture on the screen was frozen at the moment when Mu Qiancheng got up, and from this angle, it could be clearly seen that the other party was holding Sui Yun's pendant.

After watching this monitoring, Gu Xue finally understood why she couldn't find anything, it turned out that it was taken away by Mu Qiancheng.

When he was called out, Mu Qiancheng was participating in an artist training in the company, and when he saw Gu Xue and Sui Yun suddenly coming to him, he vaguely guessed something, but his face was silent, "Mr. Gu, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Did you pick up a bunch of things in the hallway yesterday?" Gu Xue asked straight to the point.

"What's that?" Mu Qiancheng pretended to be confused.

Sui Yun didn't have the heart to talk to him, and said sharply: "It's the silver lock plate I showed you yesterday." ”

Mu Qiancheng smiled a little frivolously, "It turns out that it's your love token." ”

Hearing the words "love token", Gu Xue was slightly stunned, and looked at Sui Yun with some confusion, Sui Yun's expression was also a little embarrassed, and quickly bypassed the topic of "love token", "Is the pendant here for you?" ”

Seeing that the two of them looked like conclusive evidence, Mu Qiancheng realized that they were likely to have checked the surveillance and already knew that the things were picked up by themselves, so he stopped pretending to be garlic, "That's right, I picked up a string of things in the corridor yesterday, but then I lost them, otherwise, I will lose money to you, right?" ”

The more Sui Yun was nervous about the pendant, the more Mu Qiancheng didn't want to return it to him, who made them competitors now? The more anxious his opponent is, the happier he is.

Besides, Mu Qiancheng knew that the lock plate was actually not worth a few dollars, but more of a commemorative value, so if he really wanted to calculate the compensation, he didn't have to pay much money.

Gu Xue saw his intentions, but he couldn't refute it, because there was no evidence to prove that the other party deliberately hid the things and didn't return them to them, and Mu Qiancheng promised to lose the money, in the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to be very interesting.

Gu Xue suddenly thought that the bracelet on her wrist could sense the pendant, if it was on Mu Qiancheng's body, the bracelet should react, so she quietly lifted the cuffs and glanced at the bracelet on her wrist.

At the moment when the sleeves were opened, Gu Xue clearly saw the bracelet flash twice, and she concluded that the pendant was on Mu Qiancheng's body, so she deliberately probed the other party's tone, "Are you sure that you lost the thing?" Could it be that you are mistaken, and the pendant is actually on you? ”

Mu Qiancheng was slightly stunned, then smiled, "How is it possible?" If you don't believe you, you can do a search. ”

He graciously raised his hands, but quickly lowered them again, "Oh yes, I almost forgot, you're not a police officer, you don't have the right to search." ”

Mu Qiancheng's words undoubtedly brought Gu Xue's army to the army. If you want to search his body, you can only call the police, but the problem is that he picked up the thing, not what he stole it, and besides, the value of the pendant itself is not high, even if the police come, it may not be forced to search, at most it will make him lose money.

Gu Xue gritted her teeth hatefully, she couldn't help but sigh that the person taught by Wen Minxuan really had a virtue with him, with a sweet mouth and a sword, and a sword hidden in his smile.

However, in her anger, a question suddenly occurred to her. Sui Yun's acting skills were so good before, why did he suddenly stop acting after losing the pendant? Also, why did Mu Qiancheng's acting skills improve by leaps and bounds after picking up the pendant? Could it be that the pendant can make people's acting skills explode, and whoever gets it can become an excellent actor?

This kind of idea may sound fantastical to others, but in Gu Xue's opinion, it is a very reasonable inference, because she has seen the magic of bracelets, since the pendant and bracelet are from the Republic of China, it is not surprising that it has some magical effects.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, if this was the case, she would have to take the pendant back, she couldn't be cheap Mu Qiancheng, this kid.

However, this is obviously not the right time, so she pretended to be helpless and said: "Okay, then if you think about it in the future, where did you lose something, remember to contact us." ”
