\nSheng Xing Ze's first audition was the scene where the older brother Xue Qing and Chu Tian Yi meet for the first time.
It was the first time that Chu Tian Yi bought Xue Qing. No matter how docile Xue Qing appeared to be, he was actually unwilling in his heart. That was because he still did not know Chu Tian Yi well, and only thought he was only coveting his beauty just like other guests.
At that time, Xue Qing was sitting in the room with a red dress. Before the guest tonight came to the room, he had a drink by himself.
If you can get yourself drunk, whatever happens afterward will be much more comforting to yourself.
It seemed that someone pushed the door to walk in. Xue Qing continued to pour himself a glass of wine and drank it without lifting his head. After putting down the glass, he raised his hazy eyes, and his bewitching face was somewhat drunk: "Your Highness, you've come?"
Without waiting for the other person to speak, he put down his wine glass and stood up swayingly, took off his shawl, and walked to the person with a little vain feet: "Xue Qing is here to serve you."
The other person said something, Xue Qing's movements suddenly stagnated, and his knees fell heavily on the ground: "That was reckless of Xue Qing, please punish me to ease your anger."
His face was obedient, and his eyes were full of admiration when he raised his head, but the moment he lowered his head, those dazzling eyes immediately darkened, and there was no hope in them.
Sheng Xing Ze showed Xue Qing's contradictory heart vividly at this time. He wanted to support his younger brother to study, and it was impossible to decline the guests who wanted him, but he was always burying such pride in his heart.
Ye Shuang Yang decided to choose Sheng Xing Ze to star in "Twins" because of this look.
"Stop."
Ye Shuang Yang called to a halt, and the audition was over, and Sheng Xing Ze slowly stood up from the ground. His knees should be bruised from the kneeling and hitting the ground just now.
He stood in the middle of the room, smiling and waiting for the director to speak. The screenwriter thought Ye Shuang Yang decided to not choose Sheng Xing Ze, and was about to say something for Sheng Xing Ze.
Ye Shuang Yang stared at Sheng Xing Ze's eyes for a long while: "Yue Bai?"
"Your Majesty," the expression on Sheng Xing Ze's face suddenly changed. The flattery just now was replaced by seriousness, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he respectfully awaited the emperor's order.
If it were not for this dazzling red dress, which was a little bit out of tune with the look on his face, this was indeed a scholar who has survived the ups and downs.
Ye Shuang Yang nodded, showing his first smile today, "Yes, let's sign the contract."
Sheng Xing Ze's movements did not change, instead he blinked bewilderedly at Ye Shuang Yang, "May I interpret Director Ye's words as what I think it is?"
"You have this kind of acting skill, can you not even tell whether you will make it or not before coming to the audition?" Ye Shuang Yang glanced at him, obviously not believing that Sheng Xing Ze could be this surprise.
Pei Man next to him took out the contract and handed it to Sheng Xing Ze.
Sheng Xing Ze took the contract and signed his name.
"No need to look?" Ye Shuang Yang looked at him with interest.
"If I were to be tricked by Director Ye, I would be the only one," Sheng Xing Ze responded with a smile.
"Your character, it's no wonder Qing Ning and Xiao Yu are both speaking for you," Ye Shuang Yang pointed at Sheng Xing Ze, with a kind smile on his face, "go back and get prepared, join the crew on Sunday, and the starting ceremony is on Monday."
"Yes."
The first thing Sheng Xing Ze did after he walked out of the room was to tell Yu Bai the news. He did not even have time to wait for the night video call, and when Yuan Yuan told him that Yu Bai had just finished filming, he immediately called the other man.
"Film Emperor Yu, I've passed the audition!"
Although only Sheng Xing Ze's voice could be heard, Yu Bai could clearly feel the younger man's excitement.
"My Xing Xing is so great." Yu Bai walked to his personal dressing room and whispered to Sheng Xing Ze when there were no outsiders around.
He was not surprised that Sheng Xing Ze was able to get the role, but hearing his happy tone, Yu Bai's good mood also got boosted.
"I'm going to join the filming crew on Sunday, so I have to solve Chu Shu Nan's matter before that."
"Okay."
When Sheng Xing Ze heard that Yu Bai's tone was quite unusual, he knew that the man was getting jealous again, "Sorry Film Emperor Yu, I actually really want to see you."
Yu Bai was actually joking, "don't tire yourself out, you should also take a break when you join the filming crew."
"Understood, Mama Bai," Sheng Xing Ze said a little coquettishly.
"I have already instructed Mi He Qiu to make sure you eat your meals."
Sheng Xing Ze puffed out his cheek on the phone, "I'm a very good kid."
Someone came to inform Yu Bai that his shooting is up. He finally hung up after saying a few words with Sheng Xing Ze.
Sheng Xing Ze put the phone down from his ear when he heard the busy tone coming from the other end of the line, and leaned in behind Mi He Qiu's driving seat and asked excitedly, "How long will we get there?"
"Twenty minutes," Mi He Qiu listened to Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai's talking, as soon as he got out of the audition, he instructed him to drive to Brother Yu's filming site right away, yet he still said that he was going to find President Chu on the phone with Brother Yu.
Sheng Xing Ze slumped on the back seat holding the signed contract, the corners of his mouth getting wider and wider, and he could not wait to see Yu Bai.
Looking at familiar scenery passing by, Sheng Xing Ze's heart beat faster by the seconds, he placed his hand on the door handle, he was ready to rush out of the car as soon as it stopped.
Mi He Qiu carefully checked whether the car door was locked, for fear that Sheng Xing Ze opened the door on impulse and fell over.
The car stopped at the entrance of the filming site. Just as Mi He Qiu unlocked the door, Sheng Xing Ze had already rushed out.
The staff at the entrance was getting used to seeing Sheng Xing Ze around the site, and when he came over, the staff knew that he was looking for Yu Bai.
"Brother Yu is currently filming, Brother Sheng, do you want to find a place to sit first?" A girl led Sheng Xing Ze into the set.
Sheng Xing Ze made a silent gesture, "This is a surprise. I'll wait in his dressing room."
The girl took Sheng Xing Ze into Yu Bai's personal dressing room, discreetly passing the crowd.
Sheng Xing Ze was convinced that Yu Bai, who was immersed in the role, did not see him.
"Try to make Film Emperor Yu to come to the dressing room." Sheng Xing Ze sat down on a sofa in the dressing room and secretly sent a message to Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan quickly replied, "Brother Sheng, are you at the site?"
"Yup."
Yuan Yuan looked at Yu Bai who was still shooting his scenes, and thought that today they should not expect Brother Yu to continue working.
Yu Bai opened the door of the dressing room in Yuan Yuan's hesitating persuasion. Yuan Yuan told him that there is a surprise waiting, but when he opened the door, the dressing room was empty.
He walked slowly into the dressing room, and suddenly his eyes were being covered by a pair of hands from behind.
He could sense the familiar scent from the person behind him, "Xing Xing?"
Sheng Xing Ze put his hand down and looked very unfulfilled, "Boring."
"Aren't you going to see Chu Shu Nan?" Yu Bai hugged Sheng Xing Ze and let the younger man sit down on his lap. Sheng Xing Ze struggled, which only made Yu Bai hug him tighter.
Although this posture made Sheng Xing Ze feel a little embarrassed, there were only the two of them in the room, so he simply found a comfortable position to settle down.
"It's more important to see my boyfriend," he wrapped his arms around Yu Bai's neck and smiled.
"When will you join the filming set?"
"I'm leaving on Sunday, Film Emperor Yu, remember to miss me."
Yu Bai put his arms around him tightly, "Xing Lan has been set to release in mid-April, and there will be a variety show to be recorded every week, so we will meet quite frequently."
Sheng Xing Ze jutted out his lips, his expression was unhappy.
"Xing Xing, wait until I finish here and I'll come to accompany you, yeah?" Yu Bai touched Sheng Xing Ze's face and talked to him like speaking to a kid.
Sheng Xing Ze was not accustomed to this tone coming out from the older man. He slapped Yu Bai's hand on his waist, "Talk normally, I'm not a kid."
Yu Bai looked at him with a smile, and said nothing.
"I will need to go back to read the script in a bit, I can't stay with you for too long." Sheng Xing Ze stood up from Yu Bai, "Don't you have a movie to shoot? I can't just keep having you taking a day off every time I come over."
Although Yu Bai was reluctant to be away from Sheng Xing Ze, he patted him on the back and was about to send the younger man out.
"Brother Yu, Brother Sheng," Yuan Yuan's voice came from outside the door.
Yu Bai walked over and opened the door for him. Yuan Yuan closed his eyes while handed over two lunch boxes, "the director said that you can resume filming after your lunch with Brother Sheng."
Once he said that, Yuan Yuan turned his head and ran, for fear that he might see something indecent.
Yu Bai handed a lunch box to Sheng Xing Ze, "It seems we still have some time?"
Sheng Xing Ze opened the lunch box, the filming crew's food portion was quite good: a chicken thigh, potato salad, and some daikon.
He naturally put the chicken thigh into Yu Bai's bowl, "Director Ye said that if I get fat, he will skin me."
Yu Bai could not see any trace of lying on Sheng Xing Ze's face, instead he found some grief and anger on the younger man's expression.
"You should also pay attention to nutrition when you try to lose weight. I will find you a nutritionist."
Sheng Xing Ze wanted to say that he never gets fat from eating too much, but seeing the two chicken thighs in Yu Bai's bowl, he immediately shut up.
Looking at Yu Bai eating slowly across from him, Sheng Xing Ze could not tell what this feeling he has.
When seeing Yu Bai, he felt that Yu Bai must have lost some weight in the past few days at first sight. The man did not seem to be in good spirit either. This made Sheng Xing Ze conclude that the man must have been working overtime these days to rush the filming progress.
Sheng Xing Ze knows Yu Bai quite well. When he was in the hospital, Yu Bai was able to urge the whole filming crew to work overtime with him, so he could spare some time to accompany him at the hospital. Now the man must have wanted to hurry to finish filming his own movie, so he could be with him during the "Twins" filming.
Yu Bai also said that he asked Mi He Qiu to look after him and to make sure he eat well, but he failed to do it himself.
After lunch, Yu Bai did not take Sheng Xing Ze to walk around the set. The two sat on the sofa in the dressing room and chatted with each other.
Sheng Xing Ze was a little sleepy, leaning on Yu Bai's shoulder, almost unable to open his eyes.
The sharp ringing of the phone instantly broke his sleepiness, and Tao Yi Ning's excited voice came from the other line as soon as he answered.
"Xing Ze, you have been nominated for the Best Newcomer at the Golden Grape Award!"
