The audition scene of "Hundred Ghosts".

Gu Yan went to the company in the morning and was called to the scene by Qin Yu in the afternoon. When he came in, an artist was auditioning.

Gu Yanshen's sense of existence is too strong. When people enter, all the eyes that originally gathered on the artist turn to Gu Yanshen.

He changed into casual clothes today, and after entering the door, he took off the sunglasses hanging on the bridge of his nose. His handsome facial features were immediately exposed to everyone, and Qin Yu knocked on the table.

"See what he does? Go on."

Gu Yanshen walked to Qin Yu's left and sat down. He raised his eyes and looked at the artists who were still auditioning. Qin Yu gave him a list of auditions.

"The kid you said didn't come?"

Gu Yan replied deeply, and said: "He will come."

"I'm quite curious about this kid, there are people who can refuse you? I heard that when you recorded a variety show together, he also refused once. So this is the second time?"

Gu Yanshen: "So what, he still came."

"Tsk." Qin Yu lifted his chin and motioned to Gu Yanshen to look opposite. "If you don't hurry up to find someone, Director Wang will look for Le Hanfei to try the show."

Gu Yanshen didn't speak, Qin Yu said again.

"Do you know the strength of Le Hanfei? Although he is a newcomer, his acting skills are really good. He just won the latest outstanding actor award at the end of last year, and his new drama will be released soon. It is expected that the best protagonist nomination in the second half of the year will be With him."

Gu Yan didn't raise his eyelids, his expression was calm.

"I have watched the TV series he played, and he is indeed a bit talented, lacking experience and polishing."

"It's not easy to get your praise. Experience can be practiced. Everyone comes from a newcomer."

Gu Yanshen said, "The filming of "Hundred Ghosts" will start after the year, and Le Hanfei is on the rise. His agent estimates that his schedule for the previous quarter is full."

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"For your little friend, the investigation is quite detailed, and I even know that the person is not satisfied with the expiration."

"It's just a reasonable guess." Gu Yan paused, then turned to look at Qin Yu, "Also, he is not a kid in his twenties."

"Oh, my nephew is only six years younger than me, and you are seven years older than him, so why are you not a kid?"

Without waiting for Gu Yanshen to answer, Qin Yu also turned back to the topic.

"Your guess is correct, but you underestimated Director Wang's status in the show business. Director Wang asked the staff to call and ask Le Hanfei's agent if he would like to try the show, and his agent immediately agreed. ."

Gu Yan was not surprised when he heard it. Director Wang is a veteran director, and movies that were ten years ago are now classics. There are many artists who can participate in director Wang's films, even if there are not many small supporting actors who come to audition.

"When will he audition?"

"Wednesday."

Gu Yanshen didn't express any other meaning, Qin Yu couldn't help asking, "It's been so many days, and the kids haven't called you. Maybe they just don't like filming."

"No, he likes it."

"Do you know?" Qin Yu looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Yanshen did not explain.

He would know that it was because of the night when the variety show was recorded.

At that time, Director Wang sent part of the script modified by the screenwriter to him in the form of an electronic version. His computer was not around, and his mobile phone screen was too small and uncomfortable to watch. He saw that Lu Wenxing didn't use a tablet, so he asked him to borrow it.

Lu Wenxing didn't say anything, and directly took out the tablet from the drawer and handed it to him.

only-

Lu Wenxing’s tablet did not have a lock screen, but after Gu Yan turned on the tablet, he saw an interface that had not yet exited.

A note-taking app.

There are a lot of movie watching notes, as well as the perception and understanding of each movie, as well as the recording and analysis of the performance of each actor.

Gu Yanshen didn't click in to look through it, or he heard that Xingjie didn't mind if it was someone else's privacy. He just saw it by accident, and quit when he was surprised.

And the reason why he was certain that Lu Wenxing would come to him was because of the notes he accidentally saw.

Pull the film and record repeatedly.

Regardless of the reason, at least Gu Yanshen felt that Lu Wenxing did not "dislike filming" as he said.

It's just that Gu Yanshen was too confident about his guess, thinking that Lu Wenxing would call him again. As a result, a few days passed without even a WeChat account.

Of course, he invited Lu Wenxing to audition, not because he pulled the film or made notes.

But he really thinks Lu Wenxing is suitable for this role.

"Hundred Ghosts" is a fantasy film, the heroine has fixed the role of Song Jiajia, and the hero is Gu Yanshen.

He is the biggest villain in the play, the mastermind of all conspiracies.

Although Gu Yanshen has made many movies and TV series, it is the first time to play the villain, which is a new experience for him.

The villain disdains to kill people and vent their anger. What he likes is playing with people's hearts.

He locked the self-proclaimed intruders together, set up a illusion so that they could feel the despair of dying, resent each other and kill each other in despair.

After being besieged, the villain fell into the illusion set by him. Then, he met himself when he was a teenager. At that time, he was still a naive boy who was free and easy, not afraid of dust, and full of yearning for the future.

In the beginning, the director asked him to play two roles.

But after Gu Yan read through the script several times, he went to read the original work again and again. Finally, he made a suggestion to find a real teenager to play him as a teenager.

The director and screenwriter also discussed repeatedly, and finally thought that the contrast between the two people would be stronger.

The problem lies in the casting.

The director arranged an audition at the time, but there was no satisfactory candidate.

For some reason, after listening to the director, the appearance of Lu Wenxing immediately appeared in his head.

If it's Lu Wenxing...

Lu Wenxing is a junior this year, and he is 20 years old. It is right to say that he is a teenager. The image is consistent. As for Lu Wenxing's acting skills, it depends on his audition performance.

This is the first time Gu Yanshen has the idea of ​​whom to play with.

Gu Yan retracted his thoughts and looked at the entertainers who auditioned on the court.

"He tried a fox ghost?"

"Yes." Qin Yu said again: "Painted Skin, Sprites, and Judge have all fixed their roles. After a dozen or so fox ghosts, Director Wang was not satisfied."

After the artist tried the role, the director frowned slightly. The acting skills were not particularly good, but it was not without merit. only…

The entertainer also caught a glimpse of the director's reaction, and cast his eyes down a little bit, and bowed his thanks seriously.

Gu Yanshen suddenly said, "Have you read the original "Hundred Ghosts"?"

The artist nodded. Although the audition is likely to be hopeless this time, Gu Yanshen's conversation with him still surprised him, and his eyes brightened.

"I have read it. I like this novel very much and I have read it five or six times."

"Then you try Mandrill." Gu Yanshen added, "Any paragraph is fine."

The artist's eyes widened suddenly. He understood what Gu Yanshen meant. This was because he felt that he was more suitable for this role and wanted to give him a chance to try the show again.

The artist only felt that he was hit by this huge surprise, and the whole person was still a little dazed, and he nodded sharply after returning to his senses.

"good."

***

In the evening, Gu Yan went back to Chengnan Villa. The last time he came back was half a year ago.

The babysitter greeted him as soon as he walked in, turned his head and shouted towards the second floor, "Mr. Gu is back."

A few minutes later, Jiang Li walked down on high heels with a delicate face.

"Yan Shen, you are back."

"Aunt Jiang."

"Have you eaten? Would you like something to eat?"

"No, I have eaten it." Gu Yanshen put down the large and small bags in his hand, and handed him one of the small white gift bags, "New Year's gift."

"Yan Ning and my dad are in that bag."

It was the same in previous years. Gu Yanshen would go home early and bring gifts to each of them, but would not stay at home for the New Year.

"Are you not at home to celebrate the New Year this year?" Jiang Li frowned, "Your dad still talks about you today, let me call you. In the afternoon, something happened to Yan Ning at school, so I just forgot."

Gu Yan took off his jacket, "What happened to him?"

"Fight with someone." Jiang Li sighed, "I was locked in the room. I'm getting angry. I won't eat dinner."

"I called your dad, if he knows you will come back sooner."

"No need to fight, I'll leave in a while." Gu Yanshen said indifferently, "I'll go up and see Yan Ning."

Gu Yan went upstairs carrying a few bags of gifts for Gu Yanning. He knocked on the door of the room first.

"I don't eat, I'll just starve to death."

Gu Yanshen: "I didn't ask you to eat."

There was a rustling sound in the room, and after a while the door was opened.

"Gu Yanshen, why are you back?"

Gu Yanshen pushed the gift bag into his arms, raised his hand and tapped his forehead, "It's not big or small."

"Hehe." Gu Yanning held the gift bag, turned sideways to let Gu Yan enter the house and immediately locked the door, obviously not letting Jiang Li in.

"Aunt Jiang said you were fighting with people at school?"

Gu Yanning's hand that opened the gift immediately wrinkled his face. "It's not my fault. My mother doesn't discriminate between indiscriminate and indiscriminate. She always trains me when she comes up. I am obviously doing good deeds."

"Why fight?"

Gu Yanning looked angry, "That idiot bullied our classmates, I was righteous. The next time I see him, he won't even know him who beat him."

"Your bravery is to control violence with violence?" Gu Yan raised his eyebrows deeply.

"I was furious, I didn't want to fight him at first, that fool's mouth was too stinky."

"As a result, the school was suspended?"

Gu Yanning had a heart attack and complained.

"Brother, why are you the same as my mother. I did this right. My classmate was bullied, shouldn't I help? And I didn't have any punishment, but the class was suspended. That stupid bullying classmate was jointly reported and the punishment was recorded."

Gu Yanning snapped forgive me, and said again.

"Anyway, there will be a holiday in two days, and classes will be suspended if they are suspended."

"Gu Yanning, you are already in your third year of high school this year."

Gu Yanning's most annoying thing is that others tell him about studying.

"I know, I can definitely be admitted to a domestic university. C has a lot of talent for art students, I plan to participate in independent admissions, and I didn't waste time wasting time, why don't you just believe me?"

Gu Yanshen looked at him unexpectedly, "Why don't you tell Aunt Jiang if you have a plan?"

"My mother only knows how to compare me to you, and never asked what I like or what I want."

Gu Yanning probably held it for too long, and then said to Gu Yan in a big way.

"And dad, too, why can you be an actor and filming, do what you like. I will go to Chinese Studies Management? I have no interest in managing companies at all."

Gu Yanshen: "...you tell me it's useless, go talk to your dad."

"It's also your dad." Gu Yanning glared at him angrily.

Gu Yanshen hasn't entered Gu Yanning's room for a long time, and all the actress-signed posters on the wall are gone. Gu Yanshen felt strange before that Gu Yanning had never been an actor, and Lu Wenxing was the first one.

Moreover, when Gu Yanning likes a celebrity, she will post her autographed photo in the room.

But Gu Yanning's eyes were bad, and the house would collapse when he got a fan. Last year, Gu Yanning changed six or seven idols, all of whom were members of the women's team.

Not long ago, Gu Yanning also begged him to ask for Lu Wenxing's signature. According to his previous practice, he should hang the signed photo on the wall, but he didn't.

On the wall are several oil paintings.

"I remember you used to chase actresses, why did you suddenly become a fan of Lu Wenxing."

"Secret." Gu Yanning turned her head and pointed to the framed oil painting on the wall, "I paint well, right?"

Gu Yanshen looked around, his eyes fell on a fan drawing that was incompatible with several oil paintings. It was a close-up shot of a basketball wearing a jersey.

Gu Yanshen couldn't help but glanced a few more times. He knew that Gu Yanning liked an anime character who could play basketball.

But Gu Yanshen doesn't mix the second dimension. It's just that Gu Yanning's circle of friends sends fan pictures every day, and it seems that they are still asking for drafts.

And the one in front of me is very familiar.

—It's especially like the line draft he saw on the tablet of Lu Wenxing.

"You drew this one too?"

Gu Yanning didn't expect that Gu Yanshen would ask this, after all, Gu Yanshen had no interest in the second dimension.

"I didn't paint this one. It was a draft I asked for a fairy wife."

"Which?"

"Brother, why are you suddenly interested in this?" Gu Yanning was really curious.

"Just ask casually."

"Oh." Gu Yanning didn't care, and asked her instead. "Are you going to celebrate the New Year at home this year?"

"No, I'm almost leaving."

Gu Yanning was a little bit lost, "Will you go now?"

"Ok."

***

Tuesday afternoon.

Lu Wenxing is packing his luggage in the room. Tomorrow he will take Xie Chengfei back to City B, and he does not forget to remind Xie Chengfei to pack everything he needs to bring in advance.

He called Ms. Lu in advance, and heard that he and Xie Chengfei were going back, and he could hear Ms. Lu's happiness over the phone.

Lu Wenxing is also going to pick up some things to go home, and also prepare gifts for Ms. Lu.

Worried about omissions, Lu Wenxing opened the memo and recorded it all the same.

As I remembered, the phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number, Lu Wenxing clicked to answer it.

"Hello."

"Hello." Gu Yan's voice with a deep smile came over the phone.

"Ms. Gu?"

"Very surprised?"

"A little bit."

Gu Yan asked straightforwardly, "Are you free this afternoon?"

Lu Wenxing was stunned for a second. He had to go out shopping in the afternoon, so he told the truth. "no."

Gu Yanshen was a little helpless, he didn't know whether Lu Wen Xing was telling the truth, or he was aware of some deliberate shirk.

"Although this line is a bit of an ancient idol drama style, you are really the first person to refuse me three times in a row."

Lu Wenxing: "..."

Think about it really.

For the first time, refuse variety shows.

The second time, refused to audition.

The third time, now.

Lu Wenxing had to explain seriously, "I really have something to do this afternoon."

"Are you free tonight?"

"…have."

Gu Yanshen had no choice but to be funny, it was the first time that he had this kind of fear of rejection. Hearing the answer he wanted, Gu Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He was serious and joking in the microphone.

"Then... Excuse me, Mr. Lu, who is very busy."

"Can I date you?"
