Chapter 30 - faint starlight

The director standing on the side looked at the two people in the studio, “Why do I feel that when the two of them were filming the cover of the second edition, they hit the road right away, and the atmosphere is very good.”

Because this version is the true state of the two of them. Lin Mo, who was viewing the original film, did not speak, only smiled, and glanced at Xia Xiqing, who was sitting on a chair with his head up and let the makeup artist make up the shape. The lines of his neck were beautiful and elegant.

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

The hostility in this kid’s eyes was too obvious.

Lin Mo shrugged towards Zhou Ziheng who was in the distance.

“Almost ready.”

At this time, the person in charge of the lighting team walked to the director’s side, “Director Zhang, they found a problem when they checked the voltage just now, and they may have to deal with it.”

The director greeted Lin Mo, and Lin Mo nodded, “It’s okay, it just so happens that this side is almost over, and they can go to the 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 officially started after the two of them sat down.

At the beginning, it was simply asking questions. Xia Xiqing was not too afraid of the camera, and he was always used to pretending that he was also very good at dealing with other people’s questions. On the contrary, Zhou Ziheng rarely spoke, and his answer to each question hardly exceeded three sentences.

“After the first episode of “Escape from Life” almost became a phenomenon-level reality show, the ratings were very good, and it also aroused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet. Did you expect such a big discussion?”

Zhou Ziheng thought for a while, “Well…no, when I was recording the program, I hardly had any extra energy to think about other things, so I just wanted to escape.”

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

He is not excited. Zhou Ziheng thought in his heart.

“That’s right.” Xia Xiqing smiled, “Don’t look at me as if I’m acting calm, but I’m really excited because I’ve liked Ziheng for a long time, so I have this opportunity to work with him really, yes It’s like hitting the jackpot.”

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

“Then we also know that Xi Qing, you became famous overnight at the “Seagull” press conference, can you share with us how you felt at that time?”

Xia Xiqing blinked slowly, “Well…it’s actually quite a coincidence, that was the first time I followed the scene as a star-chaser,” he laughed, “So I really didn’t expect to appear in the camera at the time, that day After I got home, I fell asleep, and I didn’t know what was on the top search list, and I only found out when my friend told me. So the whole process was a bit ignorant.”

Zhou Ziheng couldn’t help recalling the first scene when he met Xia Xiqing.

When he was standing in the hotel corridor, his cell phone was knocked off by his bodyguard. He just felt sorry for such behavior, so he 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 gaze, Zhou Ziheng had to admit that he was indeed amazed by this clean and beautiful face.

The host laughed, “To tell you the truth, I was the same as everyone else when I saw that video. I thought this boy was very good-looking. So, Xi Qing, do you have any plans to enter the entertainment circle in the future?”

This question was difficult to answer, but Zhou Ziheng, who was sitting by the side, quickly realized that after so many years in this circle, he was 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 people who don’t like him as “slap yourself in the face”. If you answer that you have such thoughts, you will be said to be too ambitious.

Xia Xiqing tilted his head, “How should I put it, I study art. In fact, in my eyes, art is interlinked, be it art, music, or even performance, as long as there is something that interests me, I can express it The form doesn’t matter. So if it’s all art, why should there be divisions between circles?”

The rhetoric is really powerful.

“It makes sense.” The host turned to Zhou Ziheng, “Ah, although Ziheng is not very old, he is also the senior of many people in the entertainment industry. Can you tell us about your 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 been acting for so many years, and you have never had a kiss scene, everyone thinks it is a pity.”

When asked this question, Zhou Ziheng suddenly froze, “Well… about the emotional drama…” He was a little incoherent for a while, “Actually, I don’t have this kind of drama in my work in the second half of the year, yes, I still want to start Shooting some realistic subjects, such as disadvantaged groups or other neglected things, I think that as an actor, I still hope to draw people’s attention to some social phenomena through drama performances and my own influence, and do some positive guidance Well, um.”

The conversation suddenly increased, but it was all to change the subject.

There was no kissing scene, Xia Xiqing thought about it, and it seemed to be true. It is impossible to have before the minors, and almost no scenes played by female stars in the adult dramas.

“Is Ziheng twenty years old this year?” The host relentlessly focused on the relationship point, “Did your family say that you can fall in love? Everyone has always been curious about your relationship experience, because it is almost It grew up in the eyes of the audience.”

Xia Xiqing couldn’t help looking at Zhou Ziheng. The expression on Zhou Ziheng’s face was quite calm, but Xia Xiqing still noticed that he pursed his lips slightly, which he only did every time he was nervous.

“I’m very busy with my schedule every day… How should I put it, maybe I don’t even have much time to go home. I think things like relationships depend on fate.” Zhou Ziheng smiled at the camera.

Look at the fate… If this is the case, it is really official.

But does he mean that he has no emotional experience by answering like this? Xia Xiqing couldn’t help turning his head to look at him, Zhou Ziheng’s first reaction was to avoid his eyes.

“That’s it.” The host asked with a smile, “Then let me 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 is very kind, kind and gentle, it can give people a feeling of being healed and warm.”

None of them matched, Xia Xiqing twitched his lips in self-mocking, but his keen intuition told him that Zhou Ziheng’s standards all meant something.

Maybe there was someone I really liked in my heart.

That’s right, they are all twenty-year-old adults. How could they not have been attracted to anyone in all these years.

“It turns out that Ziheng likes that kind of little angel girl. I always feel that there is some story in it.” The host joked, but was quickly refuted by Zhou Ziheng, “No, no.” He hesitated to speak, and finally shook hands. The hand holding the microphone was still put down.

“What about Xi Qing? Your ideal type is…”

Before the question was finished, all the lights on the scene were suddenly extinguished, and the room was plunged into boundless darkness for an instant.

“What’s going on? Did you trip?” The hostess herself was startled.

It was as if someone had suddenly strangled his neck, and it became difficult to breathe. Xia Xiqing felt chills 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 can be sustenance.

The frequency of the heartbeat is getting faster and faster, faster and faster.

So sad.

Suddenly, a warm and dry palm covered his hand, and there was a warm current in the darkness. But that hand seemed to be hesitating a bit, and when it covered his fingers, it was quickly lifted up, and then couldn’t help but backed away, and finally chose to hold his cold wrist.

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

The voices of other people began to appear around, the video team shouted at the lighting team, the lighting team kept apologizing, and interviewed the team’s negotiations and communication.

Only Zhou Ziheng’s voice was absent.

He was very silent.

But that hand has been firmly holding Xia Xiqing’s wrist, and the constant warmth wraps around him, trying to calm down the pulse that has been out of rhythm.

Xia Xiqing, who was panting slightly, turned his head, like a hallucination, there seemed to be a line of faint starlight in his vision, extending from his wrist, in the darkness that engulfed everything, a person’s figure was outlined by his side The figure, dotted with stars, shines brightly.

Inexplicably became at ease.

“Okay, okay, the voltage is restored.”

Almost instantly, the moment the darkness was replaced by light, the hand left swiftly and silently.

One after another the lights were turned on, and everything returned to its original state. Everything that happened in the brief darkness became some kind of hidden fairy tale. When the twelve o’clock bell struck, 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, he had an indifferent expression on his profile, his left hand away from him was still holding the microphone as before the accident, and his other hand was in his coat pocket.

“The machine is adjusted, that section needs to be cut, let’s start over.”

Zhou Ziheng hummed, and adjusted his sitting posture facing the camera.

Just like holding hands secretly in the dark that no one knows, no one knows his right hand that is hidden in his pocket, and the palm is covered with fine beads of sweat.

Subconsciously, I can’t control my body. When 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 time limit is so long. When the light returns, I still feel guilty. Constantly 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 state, raised his head and faced the camera with a smile, “I… Actually, I had already thought about the answer just before the lights went out. My ideal type is probably someone who fascinates people like a work of art.” His Gently tapped the microphone with his fingers, his left wrist felt faintly hot, “But I have other ideas now.”

Zhou Ziheng couldn’t help pursing his lips, and clenched his right hand tightly in his pocket.

“Want to change the answer? What about now?”

“Now…” The corners of Xia Xiqing’s mouth turned up slightly, with a soft curve, “A person who radiates light.”

Compared with the endless night sky, the light of a star is so weak.

But as long as he is there, it is not pure darkness.

“As expected of an art student, I feel that the descriptions are very abstract and artistic. But I also think that kind of sunny personality will give people a lot of strength. From this point of view, the two ideal types are actually similar. ah.”

The host looked at the card in his hand, “Now it’s time for netizens to ask questions. Before doing this interview, we collected some questions from netizens. Here, we selected the part with the highest number of likes to ask you two questions. The first question , after the broadcast of “Escape from the Sky”, netizens named the CP of the two of you as self-study CP, 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.”

“So in the future, the library will be selected as the location of the base?” Zhou Ziheng, who had always been taciturn, suddenly turned on the cold joke mode.

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

“Pfft, you two are so mean.” The host also laughed, “The second question was asked by netizens to Xi Qing. Why do you like Sirui and your CP blog? Are you talking to Xi Rui in private? Si Rui’s relationship is also very good.”

Hearing this question, Zhou Ziheng subconsciously wanted to frown, but soon realized that this was recording, and the expression management allowed him to barely maintain his superficial composure.

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

Unexpectedly, Xia Xiqing, who was asked the question, was stunned, and asked a little confusedly, “Who liked it? Me?”

“Huh? No…” The host was amused by his first reaction, turned on his mobile phone and clicked on the homepage of Xia Xiqing’s Weibo, “That’s right, it’s still on your homepage.”

Xia Xiqing took a look at the phone, really, when did he like this CP blog, and it has been hung up for so many days, it is a big oolong.

“This… seems like I ordered it accidentally.” Xia Xiqing returned the phone to the host, and joked to himself, “Eating melons is risky, so be careful with slippery hands.”

“So it’s hand skating?” The host laughed and teased, “Then you and Si Rui’s CP fans may be sad.”

I don’t know why, upon hearing his answer, Zhou Ziheng suddenly felt relieved, no, to be precise, he should be refreshed.

“No, no,” Xia Xiqing quickly explained, “Si Rui and I have a very good relationship, he is just like my younger brother, very cute, and we chat in private.”

That’s right, Zhou Ziheng’s mood, which had suddenly recovered, was plummeted by his explanation.

Like a roller coaster.

“Yes, Si Rui posted the picture you drew for him on the Internet before. He is really a good friend.” The host also said.

Xia Xiqing nodded.

The host asked Zhou Ziheng a few more questions in succession. Zhou Ziheng, whose mood was up and down, was not in the mood, and each answer was quite concise and official, which shortened the interview time all at once. Even so, this is also the normal state of Zhou Ziheng’s daily interviews, and no one thinks there is anything wrong.

“The last question was asked by a netizen, Xi Qing: Why do you choose to have long hair? Judging from our country’s aesthetic standards, normal boys would choose short hair. Although long hair looks good, it lacks a lot of masculinity. , In other words, she is a bit girly, will she be more manly if she cuts her hair short?”

It was a bit embarrassing to ask this question, even the host’s tone weakened, and after reading the question, there was a professional and subtle smile on his face, “Uh, this netizen may have a more masculine aesthetic ,Ha ha.”

It’s none of your business what hair I keep.

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

Although not very happy, pretending has always been his specialty. Xia Xiqing kept his demeanor and explained with a gentle smile, “Actually, I was too lazy. I was busy with an art exhibition abroad and didn’t have enough time to sleep let alone a haircut. Besides, there are quite a lot of boys with long hair in foreign countries. It’s normal. In fact, I think aesthetics is a very personal thing. If everything is normalized, the world seems not so interesting.”

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

“Yes, aesthetics should be diversified. In fact, the normal boys mentioned in the question just now don’t choose short hair. I also think it’s a little…how should I put it? I read such a sentence in the book-“normal people” range constantly. Being enlarged should be one of the most outstanding contributions to the development of modern civilization, so…” The host was trying to smooth things over, but Zhou Ziheng suddenly spoke.

“Normal person,” Zhou Ziheng said calmly and calmly, “Who defines the category of normal person?”

In fact, his tone didn’t have too many emotional ups and downs, just like the most common question, but there was an inexplicable deterrent effect, and even the hostess sitting across from him didn’t react for a while.

Zhou Ziheng looked directly at the camera with deep eyebrows, and stated his point of view, “If this judgment system is determined by some of our kind, can I also redefine a new set of standards? For example, men can have long hair Wearing a skirt and choosing to stand on the protected end, women can get rid of long-standing prejudice and constraints, and do whatever they want.”

Everyone at the scene did not expect Zhou Ziheng to ask such a question, and the professionalism of the host’s on-the-spot response was completely disturbed under 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 naive as a child.

But now, he realized that he was wrong, he didn’t see through the truly powerful core in this person’s heart.

Zhou Ziheng leaned back on the sofa, ignoring the camera calmly, and then continued to ask with his logic just now, “Just like the classic ‘colorblind paradox’, how can we prove that we are normal people and 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.

Xia Xiqing smiled, his tone calm and breezy.

“yes.”

“We are born to be who we are, not just to be a ‘normal person.'”

The author has something to say: popular science: what is the paradox of color blindness?

There was a man who had a strange kind of 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. The sky others saw was blue, and what he saw was green, but he called it the same as others, both “blue”; Green, he sees blue, but he calls blue “green”. Therefore, neither he 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. Beijing (hu) University (qi) Xue (kuang) Ba (mo) Zhou Ziheng quoted this paradox here, just to refute that netizen’s point of view [normal boys don’t grow long hair], and to question what a normal person is , How to prove that he is a normal person. This shows that the question itself is meaningless.

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

What Zhou Ziheng discussed was the rationality of the existence of the category of “normal”. In other words, as long as the word “normal” appears, its opposite must be classified as abnormal. For example, if we assume that homosexuality is normal under the social recognition, is heterosexuality abnormal? (This refers to the opposition between the two in most people’s minds, but the actual orientation does not have opposition or even overlap)

In short, in Zhou Ziheng’s point of view, the existence of the word “normal” is a paradox, and its rationality cannot be demonstrated. Of course, we must exclude human nature from the discussion, otherwise there may be sophistry that “antisocial personality” is also a normal person.

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

From my 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”.
