Chapter 3 He is the dog
In the entertainment industry, An Ruifeng could be considered as a mysterious person. An Ruifeng appeared out of the blue three years ago--as if he had fallen from the sky. No one knew which tree he was leaning on. In short, he had smooth sailing. He only participated in big productions and only had big ‘handsome guy’ roles. Almost overnight his "Maple[a] Leaf" (self-proclaimed by his fans) fell all over the floor, and his advertisements could be seen everywhere.
In the beginning, An Ruifeng's acting skills were very mediocre, but he was very handsome. In this era full of face-con people, if you were handsome and had the support of someone, how could you not be popular? Moreover, An Ruifeng also had ingenuity. His acting skills were polished after acting in a series of dramas. He was like a piece of jade, getting smoother and more transparent. Gradually, people stopped talking behind his back. No one dared to say that he relied on his face.
His sudden rise was not accompanied by the arrogance that ordinary stars would have. He was modest, kind and friendly to the people. Ling Xi originally thought that all the favourable criticism about him was from the water army[b], but when he really came into contact with the other party, Ling Xi realized An Ruifeng was more powerful than he thought.
For example, at present—
Ling Xi felt that his smile freeze on his face. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. The hand resting on his shoulder was burning hot. He felt like an icecream cone under the scorching sun, turning into a puddle of water in minutes.
"I didn't expect Ruifeng to have such a good relationship with Ling Xi. Did you two agree to join the crew of "Jian Jue Tianxia" together?" The female reporter with delicate makeup asked the two celebrities in a gentle tone.
Take a look! Comrades, take a look ah!
The evil "Prince Ruifeng" just flew to N City to participate in a cut and dried audition. Fans were welcome, but there were still several entertainment reporters rushing to interview!
When a small star like Ling Xi saw the reporters rushing over with spears and cannons[c], he wanted to slip away at the first opportunity, but Wu Youpeng grabbed him tightly and pushed him to Ruifeng’s side, before he could react. He made up his mind to let Ling Xi freeload the interview and exposure.
An Ruifeng's agent rolled his eyes to the sky with disdain!
However, An Ruifeng was quite good at acting like a gentleman. He actually put his arm on Ling Xi’s shoulder very intimately, and made a good gesture of intimacy between the two brothers. Ling Xi was sure those "Maple Leaves" on the gossip forum would explode that night. They would definitely turn over his career information since his debut, and then stamp him with the disgraceful ‘hugging thigh[d].’
An Ruifeng didn’t realize that Ling Xi was uncomfortable. After hearing the reporter’s question, he said with a bright smile: “I heard that Ling Xi would sing the drama’s end credits song before I came, but I didn’t expect to meet him on the plane by chance. I’ve heard his "Heart has Lingxi" before and I like it very much. This time I am looking forward to his writing better songs."
Ling Xi smiled stiffly: "Oh... yes, I was very pleasantly surprised to meet An Ruifeng."
Yes, he, a person in the "economy class", was "pleasantly surprised" to be able to meet An Ruifeng in the "business class” toilet. They didn’t know each other before that, okay!
The reporter brought the topic to Ling Xi along the way, but as the singer king of two yuan stores, Ling Xi had nothing worth talking about. Was it possible to ask how he broke into the position of thousands of non-mainstream teenagers in one fell swoop? Fortunately, the reporter was very smart. She glanced at the suitcase in Ling Xi's hand and immediately found a topic: "I just noticed the sushi suitcase in Ling Xi's hand. It is unique and very creative. I haven’t seen it in the market." The cameraman quickly gave a shot of Ling Xi’s suitcase.
"Yes, I made it myself." Ling Xi mumbled.
"It turns out that this is Ling Xi's original brand. It seems that you are planning to get involved in the fashion circle?"
"..." Ling Xi: Why didn't I know that I was going to set foot in the fashion circle?
Because Ling Xi did not answer the question, the scene was a bit cold for a moment. An Ruifeng rescued the scene: "Yes, Ling Xi has always had an eye for fashion. We just talked about his design philosophy along the way, and he also promised to help me make a suitcase."
"..." Ling Xi: Why didn't I know I agreed?
Because of An Ruifeng's witty words, this simple interview seemed very lively. In the short journey from the airport pick-up gate to the exit, Ling Xi sweated three times. At the airport exit, a more embarrassing scene appeared...
Since Ling Xi was only the king of the 18th tier of small singers, the company did not have that much spare money to take care of him. In these kinds of situations when he flew to other places to participate in an audition, Wu Youpeng would hire a cab with him after landing. But now, there are reporters behind them, and it felt too embarrassing to take a cab in front of the reporters. Ling Xi and Wu Youpeng stopped at the same time and looked at each other.
The two were standing like statues on the side of the road. Suddenly a beautiful and impressive dark brown nanny car[e] stopped in front of them. The door opened and An Ruifeng's handsome face appeared with a smile: "I'm sorry to make you wait for a long time. I didn't expect the assistant would park the car so far away. We went in a circle before we found you."
"Huh?" Ling Xi was still in the middle of a foreign situation.
Standing behind him, Wu Youpeng gave his waist a heavy push and scolded in a low voice, "What huh, get on!"
Ling Xi then clumsily climbed into the car.
This scene of "brotherhood" was faithfully recorded by the cameras behind him.
After getting in the car, Ling Xi sat down opposite An Ruifeng, wanting to say thank you, but felt it was too casual. He and An Ruifeng obviously met for the first time, and the other party's reputation was so much higher than him, but he gave him a lot of face, don't mind if he freeloaded fans and interviews. He even asked the nanny to pick him up to avoid embarrassment...Ling Xi really didn't know how to express his gratitude. So he asked after a long time: "...How many inches do you want for your suitcase?"
Xu Zhiqiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sneered.
Ling Xi instantly felt that his enthusiasm go down the drain. Yes, there was a reporter just now. An Ruifeng deliberately pretended to have a good relationship with him and said that he wanted a suitcase. He didn't think that An Ruifeng had been positioned as a handsome and extraordinary idol male star since his debut. How could he carry a huge simulation sushi suitcase as he entered and exited the airport?
Unexpectedly, An Ruifeng opened his mouth: "24 inches will do."
"Ah, okay, okay." Ling Xi nodded like he was pounding garlic: "When the work here is over and I return to City B, I will do it for you."
“Will it be too troublesome?"
"It's not troublesome... ah, it's not troublesome. Generally troublesome, but not very inconvenient." Ling Xi waved his hand: "What do you want, do you also want caviar sushi?"
An Ruifeng’s gaze fell on the sleek and huge roe on the suitcase beside Ling Xi, and thought for a while: "Forget it, this is a bit too exaggerated. You also know that my image is..."
Ling Xi said: "OK! Then I'll make you a salmon sushi."
"Okay." When An Ruifeng laughed, those dark gray eyes were so charming, not to mention that he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. "I like to eat salmon."
Ling Xi's face was hot, and he began to waver whether he should vote for his eyes or his lips.
※※※
After a night of rest in the hotel, Ling Xi came to the scene of the audition in great spirits. Yesterday, An Ruifeng and Ling Xi happened to stay in the same hotel. But of the two people, one was in the VIP suite on the top floor, and one could only stay in a double standard room with the agent. The next morning, Ling Xi again freeloaded a car ride from An Ruifeng and arrived at the audition scene. He had always been a thick-skinned person, and could readily ignore the contemptuous gazes cast by An Ruifeng's agent, assistant, and bodyguard.
The roles played by Ling Xi and An Ruifeng had been decided behind closed doors. Originally, An Ruifeng had been invited to play the male lead role of "Jian Jue Tianxia". But An Ruifeng was currently undergoing a transition period. After all, the idol route could only go so far. If you wanted to make great progress in the entertainment industry, you still had to develop towards the powerful faction[f]. It was said that An Ruifeng already had several movie scripts in his hand, and the shooting for his first big screen break, would begin in a month. As a result, An Ruifeng politely declined the crew of "Jian Jue Tianxia".
But because the director of "Jian Jue Tianxia" and An Ruifeng had cooperated many times, An Ruifeng recommended his fellow junior to him. He also agreed to have a guest appearance as the master of the male lead, with a pay higher than the male lead...
After hearing about An Ruifeng's pay, Ling Xi’s eyes turned red with jealousy. He also had a small role and was the singer for the end credits song of the drama, but the combined pay was not more than one-fifth of An Ruifeng's pay.
"Jian Jue Tianxia" was a xianxia drama that claimed to have a budget of millions of yuan. The drama had a total of 52 episodes. The male lead had a carefree childhood and grew up without worries in his sect[g]. He had a teacher who loved him and amiable fellow apprentice brothers. However, his sect had a treasure in their possession which was coveted by other people. In the tenth episode, the whole sect was destroyed, and only the male lead escaped... After that, Ling Xi didn't read the script at all, because his role kicked the bucket in the tenth episode.
The screenwriter was famous in the circle as a mad devil who wrote tear jerkers. In order to present the extreme contrast with the misery of the sect and the hardships suffered by the male protagonist to get revenge in the later part , the first few episodes of “Jian Jue Tianxia” were full of various jokes. The purpose was to abuse the audience by catching them off guard.
In order to highlight the comedy, the male protagonist’s sect setting was very funny. An Ruifeng played the 200-years old ‘he fa tong yan[h]’ master of the male protagonist. He looked like a handsome youth with outstanding magic power, serious in speech and manner. He had four disciples.
The eldest apprentice was an old man in his sixties, and the actor was a well-known top-tier male actor. The second apprentice was the male lead--handsome, sunny, generous, and who loved to talk and laugh. The third apprentice was a bigender[i]--delicate and powerless when dressed up as a man, valiant and righteous when dressed up as a female. And the fourth apprentice was a dog.
Ah, Ling Xi played the dog.
Ling Xi felt that he was really unlucky.
The fourth apprentice was set up as a dog demon[j] who was enlightened by the master a few years ago. But this dog demon was not good at learning, and could only transform into a human form for one hour each day. Once he transformed into a human, he was clumsy of speech and could only say simple phrases such as: "Master, woof." "Eat, woof."
It was a character who was naive and well-behaved, naughty but caring, and had very few lines. For a singer who was acting for the first time, it was of little difficulty and could easily gain circle fans[k].
Ling Xi flipped through the script and found that the dog actor who played the fourth apprentice had more screen time than his human counterpart, and that the dog actor's scenes were the more difficult parts...
... At least he didn't have to carry a tray on his head to deliver food to his master like the dog, and didn’t need to practice jumping through fire hoops or rolling steel plates...
Although the audition was just a formality, the director still drummed into him: "Ling Xi, don’t think that your character doesn’t need any acting skills since it doesn't have any lines. You need to know that the characters with the least lines require the most acting skills!"
"..."
"Look, you are a dog, but you are a dog that was enlightened by your shifu. In the sect, you are the closest with your master! You must always look at him. Look at him when you are a dog, and look at him when you are a human! But you can’t express your feelings for him in words, you can only tell him through your eyes!"
"..."
"Come on, give it a try. Show me an innocent expression that is full of gratitude, a child-like admiration, and respect. You must have puppy-dog eyes!"
However, Ling Xi's eyes only had "Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I am listening"...
"Yes! Very good!" The director slapped the table and stood up: "Wonderful! This expression is wonderful! You are in the show!"
Ling Xi: "..."
