Speaking of this, Zhuang Qingyuan instantly lost his breath (deflated): “He doesn’t want to talk about feelings with me!”
“What do you mean!” Huo Yang blinked his eyes, “Is it what I understand? He wants to sleep with you, just simply sleep with you without taking responsibility!”
Zhuang Qingyuan was filled from head to toe with overwhelming loneliness and disappointment, his eyes dim, and he tried his best to pull a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth.
That sentence from Su Yi about not wanting to talk about feelings with him was like a sharp knife, continuously stabbing his heart, bringing dense, suffocating pain that made it hard to breathe!
Huo Yang: “Then let him sleep with you. This feeling… wouldn’t it come naturally after sleeping together for a while!”
These words caused Zhuang Qingyuan to pause his body, suddenly lift his head, turn around, and stare intently at Huo Yang, asking: “Really?”
“He already wants to sleep with you, and you still aren’t grabbing the opportunity to ‘bed-convince’ (seduce/conquer him in bed) him? You wouldn’t be unconfident in your bedroom skills, would you!” Huo Yang sized up Zhuang Qingyuan. He was truly a bit worried; Zhuang Qingyuan hadn’t had any real combat experience yet.
“It’s fine, don’t worry, I’ll find you some high-quality films so we can study hard!”
Zhuang Qingyuan: “……”
“No need! I am very capable!”
“But I have already rejected him, what should I do!” Zhuang Qingyuan was only focused on being sad; he didn’t know that there was still another turning point in the darkness. Now he was worried and regretting it.
Very capable? How can a fledgling be capable? Huo Yang looked at Zhuang Qingyuan with skeptical eyes, but in order to maintain Zhuang Qingyuan’s meager self-esteem, he didn’t expose him!
After pondering for a while, he still offered comfort: “That’s actually fine. State your stance today, let him know that what you want is his heart!”
“Also, he is already interested in you; this is a very good start.”
After Huo Yang finished speaking, Zhuang Qingyuan gave no reaction.
Huo Yang was helpless; how could this person be so hard to coax!
“Did he not say anything else to you?” Huo Yang asked.
Zhuang Qingyuan’s eyes, which had just regained a glimmer of light, turned dull and lifeless again, and he said aggrievedly: “He won’t let me follow him to participate in the program.”
“Right, you can’t follow him. Just in time, I have to be busy for Grandfather’s birthday. Why don’t you come back with me tomorrow to accompany Grandfather, and don’t go to see him for the next few days,” Huo Yang suggested.
“No! If I don’t go see him, what if he forgets me!” Once Zhuang Qingyuan heard Huo Yang’s idea, he thought it was unreliable.
“How could he forget? On the first day you claimed to be someone’s husband; whoever he forgets, he won’t forget you…” This sick person!
Huo Yang looked at the wilted Zhuang Qingyuan, fearing he would strike another blow to him, so he muttered secretly in his heart.
“You cannot push him too tightly; you need to have a balance of tension and relaxation (ease).” Huo Yang coaxed him patiently.
“Balance of tension and relaxation?” Zhuang Qingyuan asked, “Did I push too tightly?”
“Yes.” Huo Yang saw that Zhuang Qingyuan seemed to be listening, so he continued, “He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years; when encountering problems, he knows how to solve them himself. You cannot intervene in everything; you must give him space.”
“For example, this time, he chose cold-treatment (the silent treatment). I think it’s fine. It can ensure that Qian Xu maintains a certain topic level, and can also wait for Qian Xu’s works to come out. It’s a more effective way to slap the faces of those who don’t look favorably on Qian Xu now.”
Zhuang Qingyuan was silent for a while, finally nodded, walked quickly home, and closed the door directly.
Huo Yang looked at the tightly shut door; this meant he wasn’t to follow.
“Turning your face and denying anyone, using people and tossing them aside; you deserve to have no wife,” Huo Yang scolded at the door. He didn’t care to follow anyway.
The next day, Su Yi went to participate in “Life of Games.” Zhuang Qingyuan indeed did not appear again.
Because he had to play a role in the game, Su Yi didn’t wear makeup when he came; he wore casual clothes and came with a plain face.
Arriving at the dressing room, he was assigned to share a makeup artist with a newly promoted idol named Wu Guo.
Wu Guo, who was doing his makeup, glanced at Qian Xu who entered from the mirror, closed his eyes, and said in a sarcastic tone: “So many people coming in, I thought it was the Best Actress Sister Qu. I didn’t expect it to be a transparent (unknown) person with an unfamiliar face.”
Su Yi was accustomed to all kinds of people who fawn over the rich and despise the poor in the industry, so he just pretended not to hear and walked in calmly.
“Brother Qian Xu, this is the character assigned to us by the program team, and this is the character setting.” Xiao Xue handed the character information just received to him.
Su Yi looked at the introduction of Jia Yiluo; he was an assassin, with a lonely personality, cruel eyes, and clean and nimble skills.
There was only this short sentence of introduction, but fortunately, Su Yi had played this mobile game and had some understanding of Jia Yiluo’s skills.
Wang Xia checked the time; there was only half an hour left before the recording of the program. But since entering, Wu Guo, who had basically finished his makeup, began to constantly pick on his makeup, clearly occupying the makeup artist and refusing to let go.
The makeup artist recognized Wang Xia and said to her with some embarrassment: “Sister Wang, I might need to wait a while here.”
“It’s fine, we’ll do it ourselves.” Wang Xia said, “Zuo Lin, do the makeup for Qian Xu’s Jia Yiluo.”
“Yes, Sister Wang Xia.” Zuo Lin had already found the high-definition picture of Jia Yiluo officially released.
Xiao Xue cleverly went to find the clothes, then put them into the disinfection cabinet for re-disinfection.
Wu Guo looked over, curious, and asked his temporary assistant why she didn’t know to disinfect the clothes he was going to wear in advance.
The little assistant bowed her head and didn’t speak. Wu Guo came in and wanted to change into the clothes as soon as he saw them; the assistant didn’t have time to stop him, but now that there was blame, she had to take it and keep silent.
Listening to the sound beside him, Su Yi closed his eyes and let Zuo Lin apply his makeup, recalling the time he first started in the entertainment industry, when Wang Xia exhausted all her efforts to help him connect with announcements.
They would be very happy with a small announcement. At that time, they also encountered times like this when they fought over makeup artists. They were really poor then; where would they have their own makeup artist?
Fortunately, Wang Xia could apply some light makeup, so she acted as the makeup artist and applied makeup to Su Yi casually, and that was how they went to record.
Thinking of this, Su Yi opened his eyes and looked at Wang Xia. When their eyes met, they knew what each other was thinking and smiled at each other.
“What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me?” The Wu Guo next to him suddenly pointed at Su Yi.
Su Yi looked at the young actor beside him with interest. He looked young and should be a newcomer. He smiled and asked: “Why do you think I’m laughing at you? Are you very funny?”
“Calling me funny, you are too funny.” Wu Guo stood up, akimbo, and said, “I have a work to promote, unlike some people who have nothing. They are just things who only know how to accompany people to drink and please gold masters, don’t know how to act like a person properly, and specialize in being someone else’s stand-in.”
Wang Xia frowned and stepped forward, but was stopped by Su Yi raising his hand.
Su Yi kept a smile on the corner of his mouth. It seems that this person has read about his stand-in scandals on the internet over the past two days.
Su Yi lazily lifted his eyelids and asked with a smile: “It seems you were there when I was drinking.”
“Who was there? I am a regular actor. I won’t be like you, only knowing how to attend messy social drinking parties of fawning and flattery.” Wu Guo said, giving Su Yi a look of contempt, and said proudly, “My next play is a movie, and it is a movie heavily promoted by Qingyi this year. I got it by my own effort to audition.”
After Wu Guo finished speaking, he deliberately made an exaggerated surprised expression: “Oh, haven’t you hooked up with Qingyi’s president Zhuang Qingyuan? You could beg him to add a role for you in the movie.”
“But… I’m afraid it won’t work. After all, movies require acting skills. What kind of acting skills can you have without any work!”
When Su Yi heard the movie heavily promoted by Qingyi this year, it must be “The Amnesiac Wind.” This person’s personality really fits a supporting role in the film.
“When were you selected?” Wang Xia also guessed it was the one in Su Yi’s hands, but she didn’t know when this play had auditions.
Wu Guo straightened his collar and replied: “The crew went to our school for a secret audition half a year ago. We, the real actors with strength, rely on acting skills to get the director’s recognition, unlike the little kept person you brought who only knows how to rely on a gold master.”
Su Yi heard that the casting for this film started half a year ago. So Zhuang Qingyuan had been secretly preparing for a long time.
Su Yi: “Oh, are you still a student?”
“Of course, a proper film and television academy.” Wu Guo said proudly, “I was admitted by exam!”
Su Yi, who was not from a formal background, clapped symbolically: “Great!”
The praised Wu Guo lifted his chin: “That’s right.”
This little kept person doesn’t look as annoying as the rumors on the internet.
Su Yi’s makeup was finished. A long, thin, ferocious scar was drawn below his right eye. With the ancient costume hair cover, Su Yi looked sinister and sharp just sitting there.
“Zuo Lin, the scar makeup is done well.” Wang Xia said.
Xiao Xue took out Jia Yiluo’s black slim-fit outfit: “Brother, time to change clothes.”
Su Yi took off his coat, revealing a short-sleeved shirt underneath: “I’ll wear it myself.”
Only then did Wang Xia see the large wound patch on Qian Xu’s wrist and stepped forward to hold Qian Xu’s wrist.
Su Yi lowered his head and patted Wang Xia’s hand to comfort her: “It’s nothing now!”
Wang Xia knew that the room was full of people and eyes, so she didn’t say anything.
The nearby Xiao Xue and Zuo Lin naturally saw it too. How could there be a wound on the wrist? Such a large piece of wound patch, it must not be a small wound. Their eyes were full of shock.
Su Yi changed his clothes, and Wu Guo stood up too, curling his lips: “Your image actually looks pretty good, why don’t you follow the right path!”
After Wu Guo finished speaking and walked out, Su Yi, who was being lectured, paused and was stunned.
Wang Xia laughed out loud, teasing: “Follow the right path in the future, little assassin.”
Xiao Xue and Zuo Lin nearby were also instantly amused.
Su Yi shook his head and smiled helplessly: “The children nowadays are really good at irritating people.”
Xiao Xue: “Brother, you are also only 19, how come you call others children.”
“I was so irritated that I forgot.” Su Yi looked suddenly enlightened.
“He targeted me as soon as he arrived.” Su Yi said, “Should this matter be blamed on Zhuang Qingyuan?”
“What, you miss him after not seeing him for a short while?” Wang Xia teased.
Su Yi didn’t answer. He pretended not to hear and walked out. Wang Xia followed with a smile on the corner of her mouth, a step behind. Xiao Xue and Zuo Lin also hurriedly followed.
Wu Guo saw Su Yi walking out: “Without any work, with this kind of arrogance, he thinks he is the Best Actor?”
The little assistant beside him whispered: “His aura is so strong, he really looks like Best Actor Su.”
“Have you seen Best Actor Su?” Wu Guo lowered his head and asked.
“Seen him once, the way he walks looks really similar at a glance.” The little assistant said.
“Just once, how could you see it clearly?” Wu Guo said dismissively, “Even if it looks like him, it’s him imitating him on purpose. Otherwise, why would they say he’s a stand-in.”
“Sister Wang, long time no see.” Qu Man walked out of the dressing room and came over to say hello.
“Long time no see.” Wang Xia walked up and hugged Qu Man.
“I was abroad before and didn’t rush back in time to send off Xiao Yi. It was too sudden.” Qu Man said, her eyes turning red.
Wang Xia turned her head to look at Su Yi: “Qian Xu, come, say hello to Best Actress Qu.”
Su Yi had collaborated with Qu Man many times, and they could be considered people who could talk to each other in the industry.
Su Yi: “Hello, Sister Man.”
Qu Man stared at Qian Xu’s eyes: “Your eyes, they are… a bit like Su Yi. No wonder he let Yixia sign you.”
Su Yi’s body stiffened. Perhaps because they had cooperated for a long time, Qu Man could see a bit of him in this strange face at a glance.
