    Chapter 32

    On the weekend, Shen Xiuyan went to Linshi alone.

    Shen Xiuyan wanted to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry on his own, so he didn't tell anyone what happened today.

    When we arrived at the TV station's recording site, a staff member responded: "Who are you?"

    Shen Xiuyan took out the card: "I'm here to participate in the recording of today's program."

    "Okay, please wait a moment." The staff looked at Shen Xiuyan's information and frowned slightly. This is a newcomer with no acting experience.

    Although the other contestants are also newcomers, they basically all have some acting experience, even if they are just a bit player.

    Shen Xiuyan was asked to wait in the lounge while the staff handed a large stack of contestants' information to the director's team backstage. The chief director was not here today, so the deputy director was in charge of everything.

    The assistant director flipped through the information about people coming today, and his face sank when he saw Shen Xiuyan.

    "Who recommended this? Why is there an unknown newcomer?"

    "Assistant director, it seems he was recommended by Xiaquan University."

    "Although our position is to look for newcomers with good acting skills and potential, we can't recommend someone with no experience and no reputation at all?"

    "Yes, but this student was in the drama club before and must have passed the assessment."

    "That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's through the back door."

    "But our rules do say that we accept inexperienced newcomers..."

    "This way." The assistant director thought for a moment, "Let him and Yu Qing compete in the ring and act opposite each other."

    "Okay! Let him be the foreshadowing. We still want to support Yu Qing anyway."

    "Yes, tell the judges to belittle him when he comes out. The lower the pitch, the better. This will create a contrast and highlight Yu Qing's excellence."

    Yu Qing is an actor who has just debuted for a year. With several outstanding supporting roles, he has attracted many fans and has outstanding appearance. He has three million followers on Xingbo, the famous social platform of the Star Alliance.

    There are many inhabited planets in the entire alliance, and three million followers is actually not a lot, but it is not too small for a newcomer. Yu Qing is considered a rising star with potential.

    In the lounge at this time, a group of contestants were talking around Yu Qing.

    Shen Xiuyan was sitting alone on the sofa, watching "Drama and Performing Arts" on his mobile phone.

    He didn't know anyone anyway, so he might as well take advantage of the rest time to recharge his batteries and learn whatever he could.

    "Yu Qing, whoever faces you today will be unlucky." A little-known actor said.

    "Yeah, I don't want to face you." Another participant also said.

    Yu Qing said: "What you said is too exaggerated."

    "No way, what we say is true."

    Yu Qing didn't refute after hearing this. After all, he was the most famous among the young actors, with a confident and unruly look on his face.

    "Hey, you." Someone said to Shen Xiuyan.

    Shen Xiuyan raised his head: "?"

    "You think you can win the competition just by reading a book!" the man said contemptuously.

    "That's right, I'm reading a book at this time. Who can I show it to? There are no cameras here."

    Shen Xiuyan ignored them and continued to lower his head and read his book. The entertainment industry has always been full of people who praise others and disdain them. If they see that they are not famous, they will begin to criticize them. It is a waste of time to pay attention to them.

    Yu Qing looked at Shen Xiuyan somewhat condescendingly.

    None of the people here are famous, but they all look familiar to each other. Only Shen Xiuyan is particularly unfamiliar.

    "Your group list is out." At this time, a staff member came in with a form and said.

    Everyone looked for themselves on the list, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief and sympathized with Shen Xiuyan.

    There is still a chance of winning against anyone, but against Yu Qing, there is no chance.

    No one thought Shen Xiuyan could win.

    The show is like this. Two people in each group perform a drama, and then the judges and the audience vote for who performs the best.

    Each judge represents fifty votes, and each member of the audience represents one vote.

    The recording was about to start. Everyone followed the staff to the backstage. The lights in the front area were arranged, and the holographic video recorder was also recording 360 degrees from all directions.

    Shen Xiuyan was placed in the last scene because he was playing opposite Yu Qing.

    The dramas performed by the people in front are either well-known traditional dramas or the recently popular new generation dramas. The scripts are all pretty good.

    The recording lasted for a long time, until two o'clock in the afternoon, when it was finally the turn of Shen Xiuyan and Yu Qing.

    The initially drowsy audience cheered up again: "Yu Qing, Yu Qing!"

    Many fans of Yu Qing came to the scene to support him, and others have also watched Yu Qing's dramas.

    Even though Yu Qing has never played a leading role and has only played supporting roles, he is still impressive.

    The host shouted impassionedly on the stage: "Now we welcome the new generation actor - I believe everyone already knows who it is - Yu Qing!"

    Then the host spent 5 minutes introducing Yu Qing's experience, what he has acted, and who he has acted with. A short VCR was also played on the big screen.

    "Yu Qing! Ah -" Many girls waved their hands to cheer him on, and some even stood up and shouted.

    Yu Qing and Shen Xiuyan came on stage together. Yu Qing faced the audience who was shouting at him and made a blinking gesture, which caused another scream.

    When it was the turn to introduce Shen Xiuyan, the host introduced Shen Xiuyan as a student of Xiaquan University in just a few words.

    A few polite murmurs rang out from the auditorium.

    "Hey, Yu Qing's opponent is pretty good-looking too." Someone whispered.

    "There are so many good-looking people in the entertainment industry, aren't most of them just flower vases?"

    "Yes, and I have never heard of this person at all."

    "But he is so beautiful -" Someone's eyes glanced at Shen Xiuyan from time to time.

    After the host introduced it, the camera showed several judges. These judges are all veterans who have retired from the industry. The show is a small production and cannot afford to hire big names. These judges do not have particularly outstanding experience, but they have seniority, so they can be considered to have some.card face.

    However, these judges completely ignored Shen Xiuyan, and instead chatted arrogantly to themselves.

    "Today's young people are just too impetuous."

    "I don't know anything, I just want to be famous."

    Table of Contents Previous Page Next Page Last Page

    "Yes, I really disagree with the recent trend in the entertainment industry."

    Although they didn't express it explicitly, they were saying that Shen Xiuyan was eager for quick success and quick success, and the audience present could hear it.

    Although the director team gave them instructions to belittle Shen Xiuyan, these seniors looked down on Shen Xiuyan not just because of instructions, but from the bottom of their hearts.

    There was a retired movie star named Ling Zhenhui among the judges, who was Ling Ziming's father. He knew on the phone that his old son Ling Ziming didn't like Shen Xiuyan, a classmate, so he was even more mean to Shen Xiuyan.

    There was only one new-generation director at the judges' table, Xu Zheng, who looked at Shen Xiuyan and Yu Qing quietly without saying a word.

    "He was selected through normal selection. I don't think there is any problem. We still have to give newcomers a chance." Xu Zheng said.

    "Of course I have to give you the opportunity." The judges could not refute Xu Zheng because they were recording, but they still shook their heads, looking like Xu Zheng was still too young.

    Shen Xiuyan felt very calm as he listened to the comments about him.

    Strength is shown, not spoken.The more others look down on you, the more you have to show a 100% attitude and perform this drama well!

    It doesn't matter if people are looked down upon temporarily. If you want to be recognized, you must show your ability.

    "Okay, you two are playing opposite each other. What do you want to say to your opponent before the show starts?"

    "I think what the judges said is right." Yu Qing showed a smile that was determined to win, and said in an arrogant tone, "Besides, I haven't lost against anyone yet."

    What Yu Qing's supporters liked was Yu Qing's confident and proud posture, and they all applauded him to express their support.

    "What about Shen Xiuyan?"

    “The winner and loser will be determined during the performance.”

    The host smiled: "Okay, let's see what drama the last group drew?"

    The curtain opened, and several large characters "Peer Gynt - The Song of Solveig" were displayed on the screen.

    "Peer Gynt" is also a well-known play from the ancient earth. It tells the story of a prodigal son named Gynt, who led a dissolute and luxurious life.

    Gent had a fiancée named Solveig, but he was deceived by the mountain demon and chose to be with the mountain demon and left his fiancée.Later he went to sea and lived in Africa, experiencing a ridiculous and funny life.

    In the end, he had nothing but his fiancée, Solveig, who had been waiting for his return in his hometown.

    Solveig's Song is the scene where the fiancée and Gent meet in old age.

    Shen Xiuyan's fingertips began to tremble slightly when he saw this scene. He suddenly remembered Lin Jinghang, who was married to him in his previous life. Lin Jinghang was also like this. He had always been by his side, waiting for his return.

    Even if the world is turned upside down and things move, this life will be the same.

    Shen Xiuyan spent a lot of effort to suppress his tears, but his eyes were red.

    The music of Solveig's Song sounded, the curtain opened, and Solveig, played by Yu Qing, sat in a thatched hut, spinning silently.

    The moment Shen Xiuyan stepped into the thatched house, Yu Qing was stunned.

    Shen Xiuyan's face was filled with tears, and his eyes were full of pain, nostalgia, and guilt that could not be redeemed even if he died.

    Yu Qing felt that the person standing in front of him at this moment was Peer Gynt, not Shen Xiuyan, let alone anyone else.

    As for Yu Qing, under the interpretation of Shen Xiuyan's eyes, he felt that he was the Solveig who had been waiting so hard for her husband.

    Yu Qing opened his mouth and forgot to speak.

    Shen Xiuyan just looked at Yu Qing quietly for a long time, then painfully knelt on one knee in front of his knees and gently held his spinning hand.

    Those hands have experienced vicissitudes and years, and wrinkles have crawled on them...

    Shen Xiuyan began to observe the room again, looking at every furnishing in the room, as if he wanted to confirm Solveig's past through these, and wanted to know whether Solveig was doing well.

    Finally, when Shen Xiuyan hugged Yu Qing tightly in his arms, the audience burst into warm applause!

    Some girls were even wiping their tears.

    "It's so sad, I...Why did Gent leave such a good Solveig behind? Woohoo..." A girl choked while holding a tissue.

    "Jin Te must have regretted it very much in the end. That last hug, Jin Te's eyes... no... Shen Xiuyan's eyes, it's like he has buried a lifetime of guilt."

    "Although I haven't seen this play, it's very touching."

    "I really want to play Jin Te, but Chen Xiuyan's Jin Te is so expressive..."

    The host came up to the stage and pretended to wipe away his tears: "Okay, so what do the judges have to say?"

    "I want to say that Yu Qing performed the whole scene very well. Yu Qing seemed to control the whole scene and led Shen Xiuyan into the play." Ling Ziming's father, Ling Zhenhui, said with his eyes open as he lied.

    He had to be the first to speak up and change the rhythm in order to suppress Shen Xiuyan's outstanding performance just now.

    Several other judges also echoed: "Yu Qing's performance just now was still awesome."

    These judges said this not only because of the instructions given by the director team, but also because they refused to shame themselves and admit that they were wrong before the competition.

    In addition, Shen Xiuyan is a newcomer and has no backing at all. He is too picky. Why should they speak to Shen Xiuyan?

    At least Yu Qing is the boss of Feiyu who wants to praise him, so he can get some favors.

    "What do Xu Zheng think?" the host asked.

    Xu Zheng looked at Shen Xiuyan with interest, pointed at the two people on the stage and said, "Let them try to switch roles?"

    "Oh? This proposal is interesting, but what about the opinions of the other judges?"

    The other judges naturally wanted to give Yu Qing a chance, so they all nodded in agreement.

    The curtain opened again, this time it was Shen Xiuyan sitting in the thatched house, holding textile cloth in his hand.

    Shen Xiuyan sunk his heart into understanding Solveig's feelings.

    A...poor man who is waiting hard for his fiancé...

    Table of Contents Previous Page Next Page Last Page

    The more he experienced it, the more heartbroken Shen Xiuyan felt. Was Lin Jinghang like this in his previous life?

    When Yu Qing walked into the thatched house, Shen Xiuyan was singing: "Winter has passed, spring will not come, and summer will pass...year after year..."

    These are the lyrics to Solveig's song.

    Shen Xiuyan's clear voice contained the torment of waiting, loyalty to his lover, and the pain of not getting what he wanted. As soon as he opened his mouth, the little girls below shed tears.

    The audience who already sympathized with Solveig's character were immersed in Solveig's emotions at this moment!

    The background sound of Solveig's Song continued, and everyone's emotions had completely followed Shen Xiuyan's.

    After this performance, the whole audience burst into tears.

    The host came up to control the scene and played a few tricks to make the atmosphere cheerful again.

    "Okay, so what do the judges have to say this time?"

    "I think it's very good that Yu Qing can bring the atmosphere of the whole audience to this."

    "Yu Qing's acting skills are really amazing."

    "Drama can better reflect an actor's acting skills. Yu Qing is more capable than we imagined."

    "..."

    Listening to these compliments, Yu Qing's face on the stage didn't look good.

    Yu Qing knew very well who was leading whom into the play.

    Shen Xiuyan, this unknown newcomer should not be underestimated.

    Yu Qing couldn't help but look at Shen Xiuyan who was standing next to him. He was stunned at the sight. He saw that Shen Xiuyan looked so handsome. Even Yu Qing, who had been in the entertainment industry, rarely saw such an outstanding person.

    The judges present began to vote, and the first five votes were all given to Yu Qing, and only Xu Zheng voted for Shen Xiuyan.

    "Okay, it seems that the judges still think that Yu Qing performed better. The current score is 250 to 50!" The host said, "With such a huge gap, does Shen Xiuyan still have a chance to overtake him? Please watch the audience vote below!"

    The audience's votes were displayed in a histogram on the screen, and Yu Qing was still far ahead at first.

    "It seems that everyone recognizes Yu Qing very much..."

    However, before the host finished speaking, the histogram began to change. Only the number of votes belonging to Shen Xiuyan was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the gap between the two was getting smaller and smaller.

    "It...it seems that many people think Shen Xiuyan's performance is good..." The host smiled awkwardly.

    At the end, the host opened his mouth wide: "500 to 499, a difference of one vote! Shen Xiuyan almost succeeded in counterattacking!"

    Immediately, both the host and the judges looked bad. This result showed that the audience recognized Shen Xiuyan more.

    Shen Xiuyan looked at the final result and didn't care. The audience's eyes were sharp. His goal was not the judges, let alone the program team, but the audience.

    After the program team finished working, there was a dinner party for the director team and the candidates. Shen Xiuyan had no interest in eating with this group of cowardly people, and it made him feel sick just thinking about it.

    At this time, Shen Xiuyan felt that he missed Lin Jinghang very much, not only because he was too tired, but also because the performance of Solveig just made him feel too uncomfortable. Shen Xiuyan felt that he particularly felt sorry for Lin Jinghang in his previous life, and felt that he was ashamed of him.

    Moreover, no matter how strong I am, facing those judges and staff who look down on me and ridicule me, no matter how calm and calm I appear on the surface, I will still feel sad in my heart.

    Shen Xiuyan felt that Lin Jinghang was like his harbor. When he was sad, even a word from Lin Jinghang would warm him up.

    Shen Xiuyan was walking in the passage when he was suddenly stopped by someone: "Shen Xiuyan."

    Shen Xiuyan turned around and saw Yu Qing.

    "Chen Xiuyan, I'm sorry." Yu Qing said seriously, "You actually won today."

    Shen Xiuyan was very surprised that Yu Qing, who was so arrogant on stage, could say such things to him: "Why do you say this to me?"

    "I didn't ask those people to praise me. They just insisted on being sentimental." Yu Qing said, "I want to explain it to you."

    "It doesn't matter whether you explain it or not." Anyway, he didn't want to do anything to Yu Qing.

    "No, it does matter." Yu Qing said.

    "Why?" Shen Xiuyan raised his eyebrows.

    "I am confident and proud, but I am not stupid." Yu Qing said, "I think you will definitely achieve great things in the future, so I want to have a good relationship with you."

    Yu Qing smiled: "In short, I won today. If you are lucky enough to be on a crew in the future, if you have any help I can come to me."

    "Thank you very much." Shen Xiuyan nodded and left. In fact, he didn't take it seriously and didn't plan to ask Yu Qing for any help.

    After leaving the TV station, Shen Xiuyan looked at the time. It was already six o'clock in the evening, and the concert agreed with Lin Jinghang would start at eight o'clock in the evening.

    Shen Xiuyan almost jogged onto the intercity intercity train and should be able to catch up with the general.

    At seven o'clock, Lin Jinghang called: "Where are you? I'll pick you up."

    "No... no need." Shen Xiuyan whispered on the star carriage, "I'm outside, just wait for me at the entrance of the concert."

    "...Okay." Lin Jinghang returned.

    However, when Shen Xiuyan came down from the star station platform at 7:30, he saw Lin Jinghang standing next to a white meteor car waiting for him.

    At the moment when she saw Lin Jinghang, Shen Xiuyan felt that all his defenses were instantly removed, and he acted out Solveig's pain and guilt, as well as the grievances he suffered on the TV station. Suddenly, Shen Xiuyan felt that his emotions were so fragile for the first time., he ran to Lin Jinghang's side and instantly threw himself into Lin Jinghang's arms.

    Lin Jinghang felt the warm breath of his beloved little rabbit in his arms, and subconsciously hugged Shen Xiuyan back, gently hugged his waist, and whispered softly in his ear: "What's wrong?"

    After a while, Shen Xiuyan shook his head, his voice choked up, and he tried his best to smile: "It's nothing, let's go to the concert."

    Table of Contents Previous Page Next Page Last Page

    "Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Jinghang's voice was full of doting, and he opened the door of the star carriage for Shen Xiuyan, "Then let's go."

    "How did you know you were here to pick me up?" Shen Xiuyan asked while sitting in the back seat of the car.

    "On the phone just now, I heard the sound of the public star train running. Intra-city star trains generally cannot hear the sound because of their low speed, but the station closest to the concert for the inter-city star train is here." Lin Jinghang explained while driving.

    As expected of a genius with a super high IQ, he could learn so much information through just one phone call, Shen Xiuyan sighed in his heart.

    Then, Shen Xiuyan felt warm because Lin Jinghang didn't ask where he was. He knew that this was because Lin Jinghang trusted him, respected himself, and gave himself space.

    Lin Jinghang turned on the music in the car, and sweet slow rocking music sounded in the car.

    Shen Xiuyan sat in the back seat, leaning towards the window as the car slowly rolled, looking at the neon signs of cars and horses flashing quickly outside the window, he suddenly felt that he and Lin Jinghang felt like an old married couple.

    My husband is driving the car in front, while I am sitting leisurely in the back seat... If there is another child...

    Shen Xiuyan's face suddenly turned red, what was he thinking!

    Lin Jinghang looked through the rearview mirror and saw the little rabbit blushing like a strawberry, and laughed softly.

    In about ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the concert.
