    Chapter 30 Weak Starlight

    The director standing by the side looked at the two people in the studio, "Why do I think that when the two of them were filming the cover of the second edition, they were on the road all of a sudden. It feels like the atmosphere is in place."

    Because this version is the real state of the two of them. Lin Mo, who was viewing the original film, didn't say anything, just smiled, and glanced at Xia Xiqing, who was sitting on a chair with his head raised and letting the makeup artist sort out the look. The line of his neck was beautiful and elegant.

    When his eyes moved down, he inadvertently met Zhou Ziheng's eyes.

    The hostility in this kid's eyes is too obvious.

    Lin Mo shrugged towards Zhou Ziheng in the distance.

    "Almost all right."

    At this time, the person in charge of the lighting team walked up to the director and said, "Director Zhang, when they checked the voltage just now, they found that there was a problem, and they may have to deal with it."

    The director said hello to Lin Mo, who nodded, "It's alright, it just so happens that it's almost over here, they can go for an interview."

    The two of them had almost no time to rest, so they put on makeup and started the interview. The hostess who had been arranged before had been waiting for a long time, and the interview was officially started when the two of them sat down.

    At the beginning, he simply asked questions. Xia Xiqing was not afraid of the camera. He was always used to pretending to be good at dealing with other people's questions. On the contrary, it was Zhou Ziheng, who spoke very little and answered almost no more than three sentences to each question.

    "After the first episode of "Escape from the World" was broadcast, it almost became a phenomenon-level reality show. The ratings were very bright, and it also caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet. I would like to ask Ziheng, when he was recording the show. Did you expect such a big discussion?"

    Zhou Ziheng thought for a while, "Well... no, when I was recording the show, I had almost no extra energy to think about other things, so I just wanted to escape."

    The host was amused by his serious answer, and then turned to Xia Xiqing, "What about Xiqing? As a fan, the first time you appeared on TV was to record a reality show with an idol. Isn't it exciting?"

    He wasn't excited. Zhou Ziheng thought to himself.

    "That's right." Xia Xiqing smiled, "Don't look at me seeming to be calm, but I'm actually really excited, because I've liked Ziheng for a long time, so I have such an opportunity to work with him. Really, yes It feels like you've won the jackpot."

    He really knows how to say grand-sounding words. Zhou Ziheng looked at his profile, the smile on his face was almost impeccable.

    "Then we also know that Xi Qing, you became popular overnight at the "Seagull" press conference, can you share with us your mood at that time?"

    Xia Xiqing blinked his eyes slowly, "Well... it's actually quite a coincidence, that was the first time I chased the scene as a star dog," he laughed, "so I really didn't expect to appear in the camera at that time, After I got home that day, I fell asleep. I didn't know anything about the hot search, but I only found out about it when my friends told me. So the whole process was a bit confusing."

    Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but recall the first scene when he saw Xia Xiqing.

    At that time, he was standing in the hotel corridor when his phone was knocked over by his bodyguard. He just felt sorry for his behavior, picked it up for him, and returned it to him with his own hands.

    The moment he raised his head to meet Xia Xiqing's line of sight, Zhou Ziheng had to admit that he was indeed amazed by this clean and beautiful face.

    The host laughed, "To be honest, when I saw the video, I was like everyone else. I thought this boy was good-looking. Then Xiqing, do you have any thoughts on entering the entertainment industry in the future?"

    This question is not easy to answer. Zhou Ziheng, who was sitting on the side, quickly reacted. After all, he has been in this circle for so many years, and he is somewhat sensitive. If you directly answer that you are not interested, and you are still participating in the recording of a reality show, you will definitely be ridiculed by those who don't like him "slap yourself in the face". If you answer this way, you will be called too ambitious.

    Xia Xiqing tilted his head, "How should I say, I am studying art, in fact, in my eyes, art is the same, whether it is art, music, or even performance, as long as there is something that interests me, performance Form doesn't matter. So since it's all art, why should there be a division between circles and circles?"

    Talking is really great.

    "It makes sense." The host turned to Zhou Ziheng, "Ah, although Ziheng is not very old, he is also a senior of many people in the entertainment industry. Can you reveal the career plan for the second half of the year? A lot Fans are more concerned about whether you will act in a romantic movie, after all, you have acted for so many years, and you have not had a kiss scene yet, and everyone feels it is a pity."

    When asked this question, Zhou Ziheng was suddenly stunned, "Well...about emotional drama..." He was incoherent for a while, "Actually, there is no such drama in my work in the second half of the year, yes, it's still I want to shoot some realistic themes first, such as disadvantaged groups or other neglected things. I think that as an actor, I still hope to draw attention to some social phenomena through dramatic performances and my own influence, and do some positive work. Guide me, eh."

    There were suddenly more words, but all of them were to change the subject.

    There was no kiss scene, Xia Xiqing thought about it, and it seemed like this was the case. It is impossible to have it before being a minor, and almost no plays against female stars are played in adulthood.

    "Is Ziheng 20 years old this year?" The host insisted on the point of love, "Has your family said that you can fall in love or something? Everyone has been curious about your relationship experience, because it was almost Grows up in the sight of the audience.”

    Xia Xiqing couldn't help but look at Zhou Ziheng, Zhou Ziheng's expression was calm, but Xia Xiqing still noticed that he pursed his lips slightly, which he only did every time he was nervous.

    "I have a very busy schedule every day... how can I put it, maybe I have very little time to go home. I think it depends on fate for things like love." After speaking, Zhou Ziheng smiled at the camera.

    It depends on fate... if that's the case, it's really official.

    But does his answer mean he has no emotional experience? Xia Xiqing couldn't help turning his head to look at him, Zhou Ziheng's first reaction was to avoid his eyes.

    "Is that so." The host asked with a smile, "Then ask the most concerned question for our female compatriots, what kind of girl is Ziheng's ideal type?"

    Zhou Ziheng raised his hand and touched his neck, his eyes were a little empty, as if he was recalling something, "Well...the kind that is kind, kind and gentle, it can give people a feeling of being healed and warm."

    Nothing matched, Xia Xiqing raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, but his keen intuition told him that Zhou Ziheng's standards all meant something.

    Maybe really liked someone in heart.

    That's right, they're all twenty-year-old adults. How could they have never had a crush on anyone for so many years.

    "It turns out that Ziheng likes that kind of little angel girl. I always feel that there is a story in it." The host joked, but was quickly refuted by Zhou Ziheng, "No, no." He hesitated and finally held his hand. The hand holding the microphone was put down.

    "What about Xi Qing? Your ideal type is..."

    Before the question was over, all the lights on the scene suddenly went out, and the room fell into a boundless darkness in an instant.

    "What's the matter? Did you trip?" The hostess herself was startled.

    It was as if someone suddenly strangled his neck, and it became difficult to breathe. Xia Xiqing only felt cold all over his body, and his fingers subconsciously grabbed the leather surface of the sofa, like a drowning person trying to grab a driftwood that could be used for sustenance.

    The heart rate is getting faster and faster.

    So sad.

    Suddenly, a warm and dry palm covered his hand, and a warm current came from the darkness. But that hand seemed a little hesitant, and when it covered his fingers, it quickly lifted up, and it couldn't help but step back, and finally chose to hold his cold wrist.

    For some reason, the breathing rate returned to the normal track little by little, Xia Xiqing endured the discomfort and tried to divert his attention.

    The voices of other people began to appear around. The video team shouted to the lighting team, the lighting team kept apologizing, and the interview team negotiated and communicated.

    Only without Zhou Ziheng's voice.

    He was extraordinarily silent.

    But that hand had been firmly holding Xia Xiqing's wrist, and a steady stream of warmth wrapped around him, trying to calm the pulse that had been out of rhythm.

    Breathing slightly, Xia Xiqing tilted his head, like a hallucination. There seemed to be a line of faint starlight in his field of vision, extending from his wrist. In the darkness that engulfed everything, on his side, he outlined a person's face. Figures, stars, shining.

    Inexplicably became relieved.

    "Okay, okay, the voltage is back."

    Almost in an instant, the moment when darkness was replaced by light, the hand left swiftly and silently.

    The lights came on one after another, and everything returned to its original state. Everything that happened in the short darkness became some kind of secret fairy tale. When the clock struck twelve o'clock, the magic effect was completely over.

    Xia Xiqing stared blankly at the empty wrist, and after a while, he looked at Zhou Ziheng beside him. Still wearing a black hood, his profile was indifferent, his left hand away from him still held the microphone as before the accident, while the other hand was in his jacket pocket.

    "The machine has been adjusted, and that section needs to be cut off. Let's start over."

    Zhou Ziheng hummed and adjusted his sitting posture for the camera.

    Just like the secret hand held in the dark that no one knows about, no one knows the right hand he hid in his pocket, his palm covered with fine beads of sweat.

    Subconsciously, I can't control my body. As soon as I encounter darkness, the conditioned reflex has formed. It's like I can't control my heartbeat. As soon as I hold him, I start to tremble. The ground kept accelerating and beating.

    "Back to the question just now," the hostess asked with a smile, "Xi Qing, what does your ideal type look like?"

    Xia Xiqing, who had already adjusted his condition, raised his head and smiled and faced the camera, "I... In fact, just before the lights went out, I had already figured out the answer. My ideal type is probably someone who is as fascinating as a work of art." He His fingers lightly touched the microphone, and his left wrist was faintly hot, "But I have other ideas now."

    Zhou Ziheng couldn't help pursing his lips, clenching his right hand tightly in his pocket.

    "Want to change the answer? What about now?"

    "Now..." The corners of Xia Xiqing's mouth were slightly upturned, and the curvature was soft, "A man who exudes light."

    Compared with the boundless night sky, the light of a star is so faint.

    But as long as he's there, it's not pure darkness.

    "As expected of studying art, I feel that the descriptions are very abstract and artistic. But I also think that the sunny character will give people a lot of power. I feel that from this point of view, the ideal types of the two are actually similar. what."

    The host looked at the hand card and said, "Now it's time for netizens to ask questions. Before doing this interview, we collected some questions from netizens. Here, we have selected the part with the highest number of likes to ask you two questions. The first question , After the broadcast of "Escape From Life", netizens named your two CPs as self-study CPs, do you know this?"

    Zhou Ziheng nodded, "I know."

    "I also know that they call themselves self-study girls." Xia Xiqing laughed, "This is probably the most popular nickname I've ever heard from fans of Xueba."

    "So the location of the back base is to choose the library?" Zhou Ziheng, who has been silent all the time, suddenly turned on the cold joke mode.

    Although the joke was cold, Xia Xiqing accepted it with dignity, "It's also a nine-year compulsory education, why are our self-study girls so good?"

    "Pfft, you two are so funny." The host also laughed, "The second question was asked by netizens to Xi Qing, why would they like Sirui and your CP blog? Sirui's relationship is also very good."

    Hearing this question, Zhou Ziheng subconsciously wanted to frown, but he quickly realized that it was being recorded, and the expression management allowed him to barely maintain his superficial calm.

    Now the three-person CP chaos is on the cusp, and this kind of problem is almost unavoidable.

    Unexpectedly, Xia Xiqing, who was asked the question, was stunned, and asked a little ignorantly, "Who liked it? Me?"

    "Huh? No..." The host was amused by his first reaction, and turned on his mobile phone and clicked on Xia Xiqing's Weibo homepage, "Yes, you see it's still on your homepage."

    Xia Xiqing took a look at the phone, and really, when did he like this CP blog, it's been hanging for so many days, it's a huge oolong.

    "This...it seems that I accidentally clicked it." Xia Xiqing returned the phone to the host and joked to himself, "Eating melons is risky, and you need to be careful with slippery hands."

    "So it's hand skating?" The host laughed and teased, "Then you and Sirui's CP fans may be sad."

    I don't know why, hearing his answer, Zhou Ziheng suddenly felt a sense of relief, no, to be precise, he should be refreshed.

    "No," Xia Xiqing explained quickly, "I have a very good relationship with Sirui. He is just like my younger brother, very cute, and we also chat in private."

    Well, Zhou Ziheng's mood that he had gotten better all of a sudden was made to plummet by his explanation.

    Like a roller coaster.

    "Yes, Sirui also posted the pictures you drew for him on the Internet before. They are really good friends." The host also followed.

    Xia Xiqing nodded.

    The host asked Zhou Ziheng a few more questions in a row. Zhou Ziheng, whose mood was up and down, was not in a good state. Each answer was quite concise and official, which shortened the interview time all of a sudden. Nonetheless, this is also the norm in Zhou Ziheng's daily interviews, and no one feels that there is anything wrong.

    "The last question was asked by a netizen to Xi Qing: Why do you choose to have long hair? Judging from our country's aesthetic standards, normal boys usually choose short hair. Long hair looks good, but it lacks a lot of masculinity. , In other words, she's a bit girly, will it be more manly if you cut your hair short?"

    This question is really a bit embarrassing, even the host's own tone weakened, and after reading the question, a professional and subtle smile appeared on his face, "Well, this netizen may be more inclined to masculine aesthetics. ,Ha ha."

    It's none of your business what kind of hair I have.

    This was Xia Xiqing's first reaction in his heart.

    Although not very happy, pretending has always been his specialty. Xia Xiqing explained with a gentle smile, "Actually, I was too lazy. I was busy with an art exhibition abroad, and I didn't have enough time to sleep, let alone get a haircut. In foreign countries, there are quite a few boys with long hair. It's normal. In fact, I think aesthetics is a very personal thing. If it's all normalized, the world doesn't seem to be so interesting."

    The host also felt that Xia Xiqing was already quite polite and self-restrained, so he added quickly.

    "Yes, aesthetics should be diversified. In fact, the normal boys mentioned in this question just don't choose short hair, and I also feel a little... How should I put it, I have seen such a sentence in the book - the scope of 'normal people' Constantly being expanded should be one of the most outstanding contributions to the development of modern civilization, so..." The host was playing around when Zhou Ziheng suddenly spoke up.

    "Normal people," Zhou Ziheng's voice was calm and calm, "Who defines the category of normal people?"

    In fact, his tone didn't have too many emotional ups and downs, it was like the most common question, but inexplicably had a deterrent effect, even the hostess sitting opposite did not respond for a while.

    Zhou Ziheng looked directly at the camera with deep eyebrows and stated his point of view, "If this judging system is determined by some of our peers, can I also redefine a new set of standards? For example, men can have long hair. By wearing skirts and choosing to be on the protected side, women can do whatever they want, free from long-held prejudices and constraints.”

    No one at the scene thought that Zhou Ziheng would ask such a question, and the professionalism of the host's on-the-spot reaction was completely disturbed by his aura.

    Even Xia Xiqing was shocked.

    Before this moment, Xia Xiqing was quite confident that he had figured out Zhou Ziheng. In his heart, this person has a face and figure that is naturally full of aura, but his heart is as innocent and even childish as a child.

    But now, he realized that he was wrong. He didn't see the really powerful core in this person's heart.

    Zhou Ziheng leaned back on the sofa, ignoring the camera calmly, and then continued to ask his logic just now, "Just like the classic 'colorblind paradox', how can we prove that we are normal people, not another set of judgments What about the abnormal people under the system?"

    The interview scene suddenly became silent, and the topic suddenly became profound and sensitive, which no one expected.

    However, Xia Xiqing smiled, with a calm tone.

    "Yup."

    "We were born to be who we are, not just to be a 'normal person'."

    The author has something to say: Popular Science: What is the colorblind paradox?

    There is a man who has a strange color blindness. The two colors he sees are different from others, he sees blue as green and green as blue.

    But he himself didn't know that he was different from others. Others saw the sky was blue, and he saw green, but he and others were called by the same name as "blue"; Green, he sees blue, but he calls blue "green". Therefore, neither himself nor others know the difference between him and others.

    The first question: How to let him know that he is different from others?

    Second question: How do you prove that you are not the protagonist in the above question?

    This is a very classic paradox in history. Bei (hu) university (qi) school (kuang) tyrant (mo) Zhou Ziheng cited this paradox here, just to refute the netizen's point of view that [normal boys don't have long hair], and questioned what is a normal person , how to prove that they are normal people. It makes no sense to say this to the question itself.

    This is not to say whether we should choose to be the majority, it is a matter of choice, it is the ego.

    Zhou Ziheng discussed the rationality of the existence of the category of "normal". In other words, as long as the word "normal" appears, it must have its opposite to be classified as abnormal. For example, if we now assume that homosexuality is normal in society, is heterosexuality abnormal? (This refers to the fact that most people think that the two are opposed, but the actual orientation is not opposed or even overlaps)

    In a word, in Zhou Ziheng's view, the existence of the word "normal" is a paradox, and its rationality cannot be demonstrated. Of course, we must exclude human nature to discuss, otherwise there may be sophistry that "anti-social personality" is also a normal person.

    It has nothing to do with personal choices, everyone has the right to choose any way of life, this is a micro concept.

    Personal point of view, no one should be limited by any category to limit the possibility of life, and there is no need to be a "normal person" in order to become "normal".
