Chapter 31

After Xia Tingwan changed her clothes and put them on, she spent a few minutes in the bathroom arranging her clothes and hair before finally feeling better.

After returning to the audition venue, he found that Lu Ping had already left, and only Xu Zhe, He Yanxi and Shi Miao were left.

"I'm back." Xu Zhe nodded at him, motioned him to sit down, and then said, "It doesn't matter to you now about the casting, I'm afraid I won't think about the other two. , I will watch the recorded audition video several times to weigh it, and I will also communicate with the investors. Of course... I also have to talk to He Yanxi about his feelings about the play. "

When Xu Zhe said this, he and He Yanxi looked at each other, and He Yanxi nodded slightly.

"If there's no problem, let's do it today." Xu Zhe stood up and said, "They all performed well, really, beyond my expectations."

Xia Tingwan didn't say much. The result was not unexpected. Lu Ping and Xu Luofei were not opponents, but Shi Miao's performance was really brilliant.

In fact, sometimes acting is like this. It is about understanding the character and whether it is consistent with the effect the director wants to present.

If Xu Zhe thinks that this scene should be a burst of galloping, then he will tend to be timeless; if Xu Zhe thinks that this scene should be progressive, full of oppression and suffering, then he will will win.

The key question is, who will perform Gu Fei in the director's heart.

Xia Tingwan has not completely recovered from the feeling of detachment, and really has no energy to think too much. No matter what the result is, he has done his best.

He smiled at Xu Zhe, and when he stood up, he saw Shi Miao sitting not far away, looking at him in a trance.

In those cold, dark eyes, complex emotions faintly flickered.

At this moment, He Yanxi came over and shook hands with him.

"Mr. Xia, the first time I played against you, I benefited a lot."

Xia Tingwan was a little embarrassed, and he said seriously, "You're too polite, Mr. He, it's fortunate that you came to set up the show in person, so I can play a retrospective with such a dedication."

He Yanxi's palm was warm and powerful.

He smiled at Xia Tingwan and spoke in a low voice.

When off-screen, He Yanxi and Xu Rong's personalities are obviously completely different. He is undoubtedly confident, and because of this, he appears to be personable and calm.

When he was talking, he suddenly thought of Shi Miao again, but when he raised his head to look at Shi Miao's position, he found that it was only between these two sentences that Shi Miao had quietly left.

...

On the way home, Xia Tingwan felt that the temperature in H City had suddenly cooled down today, and just walking a few steps outside made his ears red from the cold.

Auntie Rong knew him best, and prepared him a hot sheep scorpion hot pot in the evening.

He was satisfied with his meal, and after taking a bath, he snuggled into the bed warmly, and then he felt a little more energetic.

In fact, for him, the withdrawal after entering the play has always been accompanied by a tear in the heart.

Using my whole body and mind as a container to present another person's life, all emotions and obsessions are melted into my bones, sometimes I can't distinguish the boundary between reality and drama, like hardening the soft meat of a snail from its shell To pull it out, the pain is bloody.

After the filming of "Whale Talk", he actually couldn't get out for several months. During that time, he always dreamed, dreaming of being beaten in childhood, dreaming that he was still a child trembling and walking on the cliff, he lowered his head down Look, the eyes are full of dark sea water.

Then, before jumping into the sea, he woke up in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the director he was with was Xu Zhe. Xu Zhe knew that experiential actors were unusually vulnerable at certain moments, and people also had a kind of old-fashioned kindness, so after finishing the film and promoting them, he still took him with him and left him alone. He went to the tip of the horn.

But perhaps in the past few years, he has stumbled and grown a lot. When he immersed himself in the character of Gu Fei and then pulled away, it seemed that it was not as painful as it was back then.

He curled up under the duvet and couldn't help but called Su Yan again.

Su Yan picked it up quickly this time, probably because it was still early in the morning, and his voice was a bit muffled and nasal: "Tingting, I just got up and was about to call you-how was the audition today?"

"Guess." Xia Tingwan turned over and changed to a more comfortable position, and said lazily.

"My little peacock is in a good mood." Su Yan laughed: "It seems that he has caught it."

"It's not that easy." Xia Tingwan retorted, but after a pause, she couldn't help but whisper again: "But I think I played well, really."

In front of others, he would never say such self-satisfied words, but in front of Su Yan he couldn't help it.

As soon as Su Yan called him the little peacock, he couldn't help but proudly raised his gorgeous tail feathers and shook it.

"Su Yan..." Xia Ting lay on the pillow late, and couldn't help but ask, "When are you coming back?"

"Next week, come back next week." Su Yan said solemnly.

"Really? Are you all done with your work?" Xia Tingwan felt her face warm with joy. He really missed Su Yan so much, when he thought of this man's face, he couldn't help but want to roll in the bed.

"Well, it's not ideal, but it's basically fixed, there are only a few details left to deal with. I'll rush back when I'm done." Su Yan said here, paused, and his voice softened: "I know you want to act. I will definitely be able to play the role well. I will celebrate you when I go back. Before I went this time, I reserved a few sets of haute couture and wanted to bring them back. Want something else - a friend brought me a Richard Mille from Switzerland, and I think it looks pretty fancy, do you want it?"

"It's a watch," Xia Tingwan snorted proudly, although she had heard of this brand, "Bring it back and I'll see if it looks good. Besides, it's not mine that you put it at home."

Su Yan likes to collect watches very much. Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe have many pieces, neatly placed in the cabinet in the clothing room.

Xia Tingwan always felt that this kind of thing was old-fashioned and expensive, and never thought to buy it.

But later found out that when attending a big show where a scene was going to be staged, it was not a problem for Zhou Yang to borrow it all the time, so he unceremoniously occupied Su Yan's watch collection and borrowed it to wear.

"I can't think of anything I want." Xia Tingwan tilted his head and thought for a while. He paused when he said this, put the quilt on top of his head, and got into the quilt, asking, "Su Yan, Are you going to work soon?"

"Not so fast, what's wrong?"

"Then, let's, shall we... play for a while."

As soon as Xia Tingwan finished speaking, her face turned red involuntarily.

Su Yan smiled lowly, obviously he knew it, but asked deliberately, "What are you playing?"

"You, you don't understand, do you?"

Xia Tingwan was a little shy and annoyed. He was so angry that he lingered in the bed for a long time, and couldn't help but puffed up: "I've already stripped off, so I went to play by myself—"

"You, you don't understand, do you?"

Xia Tingwan was a little shy and annoyed. He was so angry that he lingered in the bed for a long time, and couldn't help but puffed up: "I've already stripped off, so I went to play by myself—"

"Really play by yourself?"

Su Yan spoke, his voice was very low, and the end of the question rose with a rare frivolity.

Xia Ting snorted late: "Yes, I'm going to hang up now."

"Don't hang up." Su Yan said.

Xia Tingwan held the phone and didn't speak, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few beats.

After a few seconds of silence, he replied in a low voice, "Yeah."

"The temperature of the air conditioner is on a high point, and the temperature in City H is cool today, so don't be freezing." Su Yan said calmly, "Go get a pillow and put it under your waist."

"Got it, daddy." Xia Tingwan's eyes crooked like a crescent of laughter, he got up and grabbed a pillow from the side and stuffed it into the quilt, then said to the phone in a low voice, "Then "Then I'll take off my clothes now."

"It turns out that I haven't taken it off yet, and you lied to me again." Su Yan said with a smile.

Xia Tingwan blushed and didn't respond. He ruffled the buttons of his pajamas under the quilt. He was only wearing underwear on his lower body, so he just took it off.

The naked body suddenly came into contact with the fabric, and I didn't know whether it was cold or unsuitable, and involuntarily made a light "hiss".

"Baby, spread your legs and put your butt on the pillow." Su Yan's voice was steady, "Are you okay?"

Xia Tingwan obediently raised her butt and spread her legs apart, and said earnestly, "Put it away."

"Well, let me think about it, where to touch first?"

Xia Tingwan listened to Su Yan's low voice and closed her eyes. The hand holding the phone felt so hot that she couldn't help rubbing on the pillow unbearably: "Sir, can you feel your nipple?"

He murmured, without waiting for Su Yan's response, the other hand had quietly put his hand on his chest, perhaps the touch between his fingers had a different kind of shame, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled moan from his nose. .

"I didn't let you touch it."

Su Yan knew exactly what Xia Tingwan was doing even without looking at it.

"I-I think..."

Xia Tingwan turned his head aggrievedly, his fingers were still attached to the soft and slender part of his chest, and he was reluctant to put them down.

"Take it off."

"Tingting, when I'm not playing with you, your hand is mine. Wherever I let it touch, it can touch it." Su Yan's tone was strong, and his final tone carried a unique majesty , said slowly: "I'll hang up if I don't obey."

"Don't...don't hang up. I'm obedient."

Xia Tingwan almost cried, he took his hand down and placed it next to his body, not daring to move.

It was obvious that he was trying to hang up the phone, but when he heard Su Yan say this, he suddenly softened. Su Yan could always treat him obediently.

"My baby." Su Yan said in a hoarse voice, "Is your butt also bare?"

Xia Tingwan responded obediently with a nasal voice.

"It's so good, put your hand on it, and then slowly touch it along the buttocks."

Xia Tingwan blushed so badly, the feeling of putting his hand on his buttocks and slowly stroking his eyes made the corners of his eyes red. Take some relief.

"Did you touch it?"

"Um, um..."

Xia Tingwan's skin was rubbing against the soft quilt, and her throat couldn't help making a cooing sound like a little pigeon, as if she was whimpering, and at the same time she was sweetly coquettish.

Across the phone, Su Yan laughed softly.

After a few seconds of pause, he suddenly asked, "Baby, does your little peach feel slippery?"

Xia Tingwan's mind was groggy, and he murmured subconsciously, "Slippery."

Immediately, he asked bluntly, "What peach?"

"Can't remember the poem I wrote for you, eh?"

"Ah..." Xia Tingwan groaned softly, but suddenly remembered the poem Su Yan wrote to him before.

Su Yan wrote that he was "a juicy and sweet peach on the branches."

he is……

Xia Tingwan suddenly wanted to understand what Su Yan was talking about, her face suddenly became red and hot, and she stammered: "So you, you don't mean that I'm good-looking?"

He was angry and embarrassed. He had secretly memorized that poem in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel proud every time he thought about it.

Occasionally, I feel like in Su Yan's poem, as sweet and beautiful as the peaches swaying on the branches, but it turns out that the metaphor does not refer to his face at all.

Su Yan smiled again. At this time, he showed a little bit of bad intentions than usual, and said slowly: "It means you are delicious, little fool. Don't stop, touch it with your hand."

"You..." Xia Tingwan's toes curled up because of shame. Tears filled the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't help but cry in his voice - feeling wronged, and at the same time, he subconsciously followed Su Yan's words and stroked He was holding himself, his fingertips inward, almost touching the hidden part of the thigh.

Xia Tingwan's long eyelashes rested on her lower eyelid, trembling slightly with her body.

"Tingting," Su Yan's voice softened, softly and slowly whispering in his ear: "Can you feel it, the place you touch now... so sensitive, so cute, with a little force, the skin All cramping weakly, can you feel how content I feel when I hold you?"

Xia Tingwan's lower abdomen tightened for a moment, he couldn't help raising his waist, and took a breath while whimpering.

Su Yan with a coquettish end, like a warm cocoon, tightly wraps him in a safe and wild erotic world.

"Su Yan..." He whispered. He thought he could feel it.

When stroking myself, I gradually had a very strange hallucination, like looking at myself from Su Yan's angle from a certain angle, desire flowing in Su Yan's whisper and his fingertips.

He is a blazing sun, and he is also ice cream. He melted himself sweetly.

At that moment in his body, a meaningful fragrance was born out of thin air.

...

Xia Ting was lying between the pillows late, his eyes half-squinted like a lazy cat.

The phone was put aside, Su Yan could still hear his lingering breath.

"Su Yan."

"I am here."

Xia Tingwan's waist was still immersed in the numbness of contentment. Although she was tired, she was reluctant to go to sleep. From time to time, she called Su Yan to confirm the existence of the other party.

"I'm going to audition today to play against He Yanxi who plays Xu Rong... You know He Yanxi, the double gold actor."

He fell to one side, put his mouth close to the phone, and whispered to Su Yan in a half-awake voice: "He's really amazing...Su Yan. I've never seen such an amazing actor. He doesn't push other people's heads. It can also catch all the emotional changes I throw out, delicate and explosive. Really, acting with him is like dancing a double tango, it is so exciting. In the play, he is Xu Rong , I'm Gu Fei...As soon as I get into the show, I can't help but feel that he is really charming."

Su Yan gave a "hmm" and asked, "Is he handsome?"

"Handsome." Xia Tingwan replied in a daze, subconsciously.

Su Yan was silent for a long time, and when Xia Tingwan was about to close her eyes and fell asleep, she whispered, "Little bastard."

He paused, then continued: "Sometimes, I can't help but think - how wonderful it would be if you were just a little canary, and I could lock you in a cage, feed you food, feed you water, give you You groom your feathers, and let me be the only one in your life, only me."

There was some kind of complex and rich emotion suppressed in his voice, every word was spoken slowly, and at the end, his voice became hoarse.

Xia Tingwan tilted his head and listened. He rarely listened to Su Yan's extremely profound words, but strangely, he didn't feel how terrible the imprisoned obsession was.

Perhaps the satisfaction of lust is still flowing in his body, and his heart is full of nostalgia and attachment to Su Yan.

"Okay." He smiled foolishly, rolled on the bed, picked up the phone, and said softly to Su Yan, "If you do what I say every day, lock me up for life, I'm very happy. ."

Su Yan was amused by him and laughed softly.

After a long time, a faint sigh came from there.

"Tingting," Su Yan said, "keep acting well, you are my pride and always will be."

...

Xia Ting slept soundly that night, and it was past ten o'clock the next day. After getting up, she felt a satisfied numbness in her body.

As soon as he came together, he saw that several missed calls from Zhou Yang were displayed on his mobile phone, and a bad premonition floated in his heart. Without waiting for him to speak, he simply and neatly said three words: "Look at Weibo."

With a heavy heart, Xia Tingwan opened Weibo on her iPad, opened the homepage of the "On the Road" program group, and she saw a few minutes of video that had just been uploaded for half an hour.

He took a closer look and found that the title was actually called "The First Time After the Divorce of the Actor, Exposing His Moods in Tears".

Xia Tingwan was suddenly stunned.

He opened the video with trembling fingers, but just after watching it for a minute, he felt a blank space in his mind, and his temples were throbbing.

He was still confused. He never cried because he talked about Su Yan during the filming. How could there be such a video. But he is still too stupid, even if he has been tricked once, he still did not expect that the program team can refresh his lower limit cognition again and again.

When they were in Chiang Mai, they did mention Su Yan once.

At that time, everyone was chatting in the courtyard of the villa. Xing Le asked him if he still had contact with Su Yan after the divorce, and how was his mood adjusted. He also mentioned that many media wrote about the divorce because there was a third party. Step in and ask if that's really the case.

In fact, these problems themselves are quite normal. The program team invited him to participate in the reality show at that time, and it was impossible not to make an article about his personal relationship scandal.

It wasn't that he was unprepared at the time, and he answered that there was nothing wrong with the content. He said that he was still friends after the divorce and still had occasional contact. It's just that when Xing Le mentioned Su Yan, he still couldn't hold back and explained a sentence for Su Yan.

He said that it had nothing to do with the third party, but it was because he was too self-willed and often failed to manage his own marriage well. Su Yan was actually very good to him.

When he said the last sentence, he was indeed a little emotional, but that emotion was quickly withdrawn.

After that, Xing Le didn't ask anything else.

But it was also in the middle of the night that he performed a clip from "Whale's Whisper" in front of everyone, and he did cry during that part of the performance.

The same clothes and the same sitting times gave the program team the basis for wanton editing,

He was talking about Su Yan, and when he was performing Xiaoxia, there were tears in his eyes, and then slowly flowed out.

It looked flawless at all, and even Xia Tingwan felt an indescribable sense of time and space confusion for a moment.

Each of the comments quickly swiped under Weibo made him tremble.

"While saying that there is no third party, Su Yan is very good to him, while sadly crying at the camera, what are you performing? The hype has to have a head, right?"

"I just want to ask if Xia Yingdi's character is a crystal hypocritical boy who needs everyone's love and protection?"

"The old melon eaters who watched Xia Tingwan and LKW's kissing scandal said that the divorce deserved it and cried."

"Isn't the marriage between the rich and the actor just like this? It can be true, but I don't know how much money Xia Tingwan's divorce can share?"

"You, you wait..."

Xia Tingwan said to Zhou Yang with difficulty.

Before he finished speaking, he rushed to the bathroom, feeling a violent spasm in his stomach.

He couldn't help retching at the sink twice, and his body gradually collapsed to the ground.

He couldn't describe how severe his pain was at this moment.

When he said "Su Yan has been really good to me", he was sincere.

Facing the camera, he performed Xiao Xia Shi to his heart's content, and he was sincere.

But no one cared about his sincerity.

The program team edited him, and the onlookers mocked him.

His personal emotions as a person, his deep love for acting, were all stripped out of his body.

It was chopped and kneaded together with a knife, and cooked with huge malice into a pot of fast food products for the public.

He was brutally consumed, chewed, spat out, and scolded for hype.

He didn't know why it was like this, why the world was like this.

...

Xia Tingwan didn't know how long it took before he finally called Zhou Yang in despair. He murmured, "Zhou Yang, I didn't do that. They cut it randomly."

"I know." Zhou Yang's voice was steady.

Xia Tingwan felt that she was about to collapse.

He covered his face and repeated a little hysterically: "Zhou Yang, I really didn't cry when I mentioned Su Yan - I don't know how to explain it, they deliberately let me play the part of "Whale Talk", and then randomly cut it into one piece , I really don't."

"Tingwan, calm down now and listen to me," Zhou Yang said in a serious tone, as if confirming and pulling Xia Tingwan back firmly: "...Tell me, can you hear me?"

"Well." Xia Ting nodded tremblingly, only to realize that Zhou Yang couldn't see it at all.

Zhou Yang's tone was very calm, he said slowly: "Whether it was before marriage or after divorce, for more than five years, you have never consumed Mr. Su even once, and you have never sent a press release to hype the relationship between the two of you. Feelings. I know you are very sad about this incident. You care about Mr. Su and don't want to be misunderstood. But I know you won't be like that, and Mr. Su also knows, do you understand? Do you trust him? "

"I believe……"

When Xia Tingwan heard Su Yan's name, those simple words seemed to give him the courage to settle on the ground out of thin air.

Taking a deep breath, he clenched the phone and said, "Su Yan won't believe me. I'm not worried about that."

"That's good." Zhou Yang said: "The person you care about the most believes in you, and the rest don't need to care. They scold you because they are habitually hacking you, and they have to laugh at anything that happens. There will always be people who will pick on you. Some will take the lead, some will follow, but more will be silent. Understand?"

"Look, as I said before, Ye Bingwen will do whatever he can to blackmail you, and you will lose your sense of proportion. This tidbit - instead makes me think that we can wait until the time to fight back."

Zhou Yang's speech speed increased slightly, and Xia Tingwan felt a sense of tension as the prey gradually entered his field of vision from his tone.

Zhou Yang paused and continued calmly: "In the past few days, I have made preparations with the people at Ander Public Relations, and have also contacted many media privately. In the past few days, I will publish some manuscripts to distract my attention. Li, we have prepared a lot of manuscripts for various arguments, so it won't appear too deliberate. In any case, it is very suspicious that a program group put two behind-the-scenes videos in a row and ended up blackening their own MC. You can do some articles from this angle first.”

"Zhou Yang," Xia Tingwan suddenly thought of something, raised her head suddenly and said, "You still have to find someone to pull the original film."

"Um?"

"Find someone who knows how to edit and compare this clip on the road with the original film of "Whale Talk" where I shed tears. When I reenacted it in Thailand, the sequence of actions and changes in expression basically maintained the rhythm of the original film , you can see if you can compare it to any clues."

Xia Tingwan was a little excited, but he was not good at anything else.

But he understands movies.

A "Whale Talk", every movement, expression, every little emotion, he kept in mind.

Therefore, after more than six years, it can still be reproduced perfectly in Thailand.

An actor's emotions and the rhythm of speaking lines in a movie are all subtly different from those in life. It is absolutely difficult to edit them perfectly and seamlessly with everyday dialogues.

He wanted to find the loophole in the tidbit video, and he believed that loophole must exist.

"Understood," Zhou Yang responded quickly, he said calmly: "Once I see something, I will make the manuscript and comparison, let senior fans send it, and then ask film critics to express their opinions."

"Ting Wan, now there is something else besides this." Zhou Yang sighed and whispered: "In terms of funds. TBN sent us the calculated default payment. To be honest, the amount is a bit scary. And we still have follow-up public relations and capital flow from the media side, is the economic situation not very good on your hand?"
