Chapter 37 "You Are Like His Boyfriend"
Chapter 37 "You Are Like His Boyfriend"
The class director reserved an amphitheater for the rumored lead director, and four or five assistant directors with glasses and long hair sat in a row, sitting under the podium expressionlessly.
Sui Yi and the class guide moved the podium away, leaving an open space of several square meters for the students to play.
The director is a professional in literary and artistic films who have been developing abroad for many years. His beard and hair are already gray, and he is sitting in the middle position wearing a common singlet.
There were people standing outside the classroom, and Sui Yi glanced at them. Most of them were not students of the performance department, and they were lined up with a cautious expression to prepare their lines.
You Cheng and Sun Xiaoxiao replied to him with respect, and they were also in the queue at this time, with someone who looked like an executive agent standing beside them.
"This is a snippet of lines, everyone can get familiar with it first." The assistant screenwriter wearing a baseball cap held a bundle of papers and handed them out to Sui Yi.
Sui Yi raised her hand to express her refusal, then picked up her phone and pretended to be busy.
As soon as he turned on his mobile phone, Bai Yan sent him a message: "I've finished making up the class! Are you going to the classroom to find you?"
"Okay." Sui Yi smiled unconsciously.
There were many students interviewing, but most of them were nervous. They stuttered when reciting their lines, and a group of staff members sitting around the director had an impatient look on their faces.
The class guide hid by the door, said a few words to the people in the queue, then greeted You Cheng, lowered his voice and said, "You Cheng, you go in first, come here quickly."
You Cheng walked over a little awkwardly, and Sui Yi gave him a seat, and then leaned against the window in the corridor to rest.
From his point of view, You Cheng's expression was very comfortable, his mouth opened and closed as if he was talking, he yawned with his arms crossed, glanced at the time, and wondered when it would end.
The expressions of the few people under the podium didn't change. After two minutes, You Cheng came out with the lines page, but there was no emotion on his face.
"Continue." The assistant screenwriter reminded the class director softly.
The interview team slowly moved forward again, Sui Yi yawned again, and Bai Yan patted him on the shoulder behind him.
"It's not over yet?" Bai Yan asked him with a mouth shape.
Sui Yi nodded helplessly, and then pointed to the queue whose tails were invisible. Bai Yan stuck out his tongue, stood up against him, slowly sorted out the textbooks in his hand, and stuffed them into his backpack little by little.
It wasn't until Sun Xiaoxiao walked out of the classroom with a stinky face that the class director's expression became completely ugly, and there was some fine sweat on his forehead.
The assistant screenwriter stood at the door with a very anxious face. There were only a few lines left in his hand, and then he walked to Suiyi and Bai Yan: "Would you two try it?"
Sui Yi frowned in resistance.
"You two look so good, try it!" The assistant screenwriter was dodged by Sui Yi and stuffed a piece of paper into Bai Yan's hand.
The class director also pushed Bai Yan and urged him: "Go, go."
Sui Yi's face darkened, and she passed Bai Yan's position with a very bad tone: "I'll go."
It seemed like some kind of Longtan Tiger's Den in the lecture hall. Sui Yi glanced at the lines page, and at the top was written the three words "Untitled".
The lines were very short, and after Yimu finished speaking with a face, the faces of the directors sitting under the stage turned a little darker. one."
Sui Yi walked out from the back door without any hesitation. Bai Yan, who was full of surprise, was pushed in by the assistant screenwriter from the front door.
The elevated road near the Spring Festival was blocked, and the wind near the northern suburbs was rough and arrogant, blowing the car windows muffled.
Bai Yan sat in the back row of the driver's seat with a slightly nervous expression, and Sui Yi sat beside him with a very calm expression.
The meter was adjusted to three digits, and the driver talked to them in a random manner.
"What are you doing at the movie studio?" the driver asked.
Sui Yi glanced at him in the rearview mirror and said nothing.
"You two are actors, right?" The driver didn't get an answer, but became excited: "Are you going to film?"
Bai Yan's hand on his lap quietly moved over and pulled Sui Yi's sleeve.
Sui Yi shook his wrist with a backhand and said in a flat tone, "No."
Not filming, but makeup.
After listening to Bai Yan's lines, the gray-haired director applauded excitedly and eccentrically, and then asked someone to leave an address for Bai Yan and let him come over to try makeup in four days.
"Although it's a makeup trial, if the effect is good, it's a direct decision." The assistant screenwriter smiled, "Don't be late, call me anytime if you have anything."
Sui Yi stood on the side aggressively, always feeling like they were some kind of fraud gang. If he hadn't been able to see the same face as this old man on the Encyclopedia, he might have called the police.
The old man with hair as white as a beard is called Xu Wuyou. There is a long list of international awards under the encyclopedia. It is said that he lives abroad and occasionally comes back to shoot some films for awards.
This time, Untitled is a movie that started preparing for a few years ago. Last month, started casting roles in China. After confirming it several times, decided that Bai Yan was the male lead, a high school student in a coastal town. .
"Squad leader." Bai Yan called to him.
Sui Yi looked up at him from the phone.
"Don't be so nervous, I'll come out soon." Bai Yan's eyes stopped on his frowning brows, "The head teacher said that it usually takes about half an hour. Find a warm place."
Sui Yi paid for the taxi, and then sent the person through the gray iron gate.
The wall of the Northern Film Studio is twice as high as most buildings, and it looks majestic and mysterious. Sui Yi found a leeward place to stand, and continued to brush the movie information on his mobile phone.
Director Xu Wuyou is not a diligent director, but some works have a very long time span, and the time span almost catches up with the age of Suiyi's parents.
When the iron door was pushed open again, Suiyi looked up subconsciously, and a car covered with anti-peep films slowly drove out, then slowed down and stopped in front of Suiyi.
The window came down, and Sun Xiaoxiao wore a pair of sunglasses and looked at him from the back seat, with a subtle tone: "Squad leader?"
Sui Yi looked at her and said nothing.
"You care too much about your classmates, don't you?" Sun Xiaoxiao smiled inexplicably, "Ding Zhuang will also come with you? Are you going to be Bai Yan's agent?"
The iron gray door slammed shut, and Sui Yi frowned.
"Bai Yan is quite pure, no wonder Old Man Xu likes him." Sun Xiaoxiao took off his sunglasses, his expression was not good or bad, "I didn't expect it to be him."
Sui Yi ran out of patience and asked back, "Whether you can go, a good dog won't stand in your way."
Sun Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, as if she wanted to say something else, she endured it for a while, raised the window and left.
An hour later, Bai Yan walked out the door with a little messy hair, Sui Yi waited uneasy and was startled by his appearance.
"Why?" Sui Yi smoothed his hair.
Bai Yan's eyes were a little red, and he looked sleepy with the jacket he took off in his hand: "The teacher who did the hair caught it, saying that the hair of high school students is messy."
Sui Yi's heart fell back, and he stopped thinking about it.
The two waited on the side of the road for more than half an hour before they got the car back to school. The taxi was a bit dirty, the seat cushions were dusty, and some unknown objects were stuck on the footpads.
Bai Yan avoided the dirty position and got into the car lightly.
Sui Yi felt sore in her heart, sat beside Bai Yan, and touched the back of his hand calmly.
Bai Yan turned his head and smiled at him, but said nothing.
"What did the director say?" Sui Yi asked him, and took the coat from his hand smoothly.
Bai Yan was wearing a very thin sweater, and his shoulder blades undulated slightly when he spoke: "If you don't say anything, just say that you will call me later."
"Okay." Sui Yi's voice was a little stiff, and after a while, she said, "Have you met Sun Xiaoxiao? What did she tell you?"
"Ah?" Bai Yan thought for a while, "Is that the girl with long hair?"
Sui Yi nodded.
"I saw her, but I didn't speak." Bai Yan said truthfully, "I didn't play against her either."
"Yeah." Sui Yi suddenly felt flustered, as if stepping into a completely unfamiliar city, but without any sense of direction.
Bai Yan's cell phone vibrated in Suiyi's pocket, and the ringtone was a silly pop song. Suiyi was very dissatisfied with these kinds of songs, but he still didn't ask him to change the ringtone.
"Hello?" Bai Yan saw the unfamiliar number and thought it was a part-time notification.
The person opposite said a few words quickly, Bai Yan looked at Sui Yi blankly, and answered after a while, "I'm inconvenient now, can I contact you later?"
Sui Yi's brows were raised, and before she could ask, Bai Yan said, "It's a reporter who wanted to interview me."
"I don't want to do an interview." Bai Yan showed a rare reluctance.
Sui Yi quickly took out her phone from her pocket, opened the web page and started searching for Bai Yan's name. There were several identical news articles floating at the top, as well as a few photos of Bai Yan in the amphitheater.
That day, Bai Yan had just finished making up a lesson for the junior high school students. He carried a schoolbag and entered the amphitheatre. He read all the lines with a blank expression, and was evaluated by the director team as a top-grade blank paper, which was 100% compatible with the untitled protagonist. , Not long after, someone released Reuters of Bai Yan in the lecture hall. The Internet media called him a classmate of You Cheng, and a more verbose reporter wrote: You Cheng was defeated by an amateur classmate, and he was unsuccessful in the untitled audition.
Sui Yi watched a few news articles and nodded expressionlessly.
It was getting dark, and the street lights on the elevated road around the city turned on at the same time, illuminating the six-lane expressway very clearly.
"Xiao Bai." Sui Yi called to him in a low voice, "I won't be interviewed for now."
"Yeah." Bai Yan responded quickly.
"I won't make up lessons for now." Sui Yi continued, "Wait for this to be over, okay?"
"Okay." Bai Yan said.
Sui Yi hesitated for half a minute and continued, "I'll take you wherever you go in the future."
The day before the winter vacation started, Sui Yi received a text message from Yucheng asking for leave, saying that she was going to shoot a TV series and she would need to stay abroad for three or four months.
Sui Yi took a pencil and sat at Bai Yan's seat to write a song, with an acoustic guitar at her feet, and slowly drew a few notes on the paper before she took out her phone to read the news.
"With the monitor, help me sign in. I'll be back in April, and I don't want to ask for leave from the class instructor."
Sui Yi glanced at him and replied, "You said it yourself, I don't want to sign in for you."
"Please! It's so troublesome! Do me a favor!" You Cheng replied.
"No." Sui Yi's expression remained unchanged.
After a while, You Cheng said again, "Good-hearted monitor, for Bai Yan's sake, please help me. I have no hope for Director Xu's play, so I took up a new play."
Sui Yi paused, sat up straight and typed: "What do you mean?"
You Cheng dialed the phone directly, and said with a good attitude, "Squad leader, do me a favor, if you ask for leave, you will be known immediately."
"What did you mean just now?" Suiyi said on another channel.
"Isn't Bai Yan a male protagonist? The untitled protagonist has been renamed Xiao Bai. I have been waiting for this drama for a long time. You and him are so good, so you should compensate me!" Compensate two words.
"Is it fixed?" Sui Yi filtered the information.
You Cheng had a different cheerfulness on the phone than usual: "It's fixed, Sun Xiaoxiao is the second female, but she is willing to match Bai Yan, and it is estimated that she is too sour now."
"...She also wants to act?" The discomfort in Sui Yi's tone was obvious.
"Yeah, it's estimated to be filmed in the next two days." You Cheng brought the topic back: "Hey, help to sign in, okay? I'm so annoying..."
Sui Yi agreed to him and hung up the phone.
The line practice was arranged in a hotel near the school. The conference room on the upper floor had a yellow cordon, with several security guards standing beside it.
Bai Yan was still carrying his daily backpack, looked at the conference room cautiously, and pointed to the restroom below: "I'll go."
Sui Yi took his bag and stood outside the exaggerated bathroom.
Sun Xiaoxiao's figure was reflected in the two-meter-high full-face lens, wearing the iconic leopard-print framed sunglasses, and was stunned when he turned out.
"Squad leader?" Sun Xiaoxiao's face showed a smile that made Suiyi very uncomfortable: "Accompanying Bai Yan again, have you really become an agent?"
Sui Yi looked at her gloomily.
"I think Bai Yan really needs an agent. I don't think he usually talks." Sun Xiaoxiao seemed to be thinking seriously and lowered his voice: "You are not like an agent, you are like his boyfriend."
Sui Yi lost her weight for a moment, and rubbed her fingertips in a very smooth way.
Bai Yan in the corner took a step back, walked out of the picture reflected by the mirror, stood there and waited for a while, and in a short time, the body felt longer due to huge hesitation.
In the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, he saw Sui Yi's chin tightened, and said, "Bai Yan will have an agent soon, and it's your turn to take care of it? Instead, it's you, does the second female need an agent to accompany her?"
Sun Xiaoxiao stared at him in shock: "You...you and him are a couple, you guys are so disgusting!"
"It's none of your business if I accompany him here? Are we a couple?" Sui Yi was a bit hostile, remembering the news that he had sent to him earlier, and vicious thoughts popped up, and he smiled. Without laughing, he said, "If you are so idle, take care of your own face."
