I want to make headlines

Chapter 48
Liming, the king of actors and actresses, has debuted for more than 20 years and has won many honors.

To describe it in one sentence - Gan Jing grew up watching other people's works and listening to their names.

At this moment, seeing that Uranus superstar appearing in front of him, all the tension in his heart burst out, but, in the end, it just turned into a slightly hesitant smile on his face.

"Director Chen, Teacher Mei, Teacher Han..." Li Ming nodded to the people who stood up to welcome him, and then turned his puzzled eyes to Gan Jing.

"Is this the one who auditioned together?" He smiled inexplicably.

Gan Jing sensed a trace of contempt from this smile—of course, Liming is entitled to contempt.

Li Ming was in a more relaxed state, hanging his thin coat on the hanger, seeing Chen Kaige nodding at himself, the smile on his face widened slightly, pointing to Gan Jing, and asking, "What's your name?"

Gan Jing hurriedly stepped forward: "I am Gan Jing, hello, Teacher Liming."

Not to mention seniority, even age is put there.

Li Ming smiled a little weirdly, and was also a little confused. He looked at Chen Kaige and asked, "Director Chen, I want to know, can he play the middle-aged Mei Lanfang?"

The play "Mei Lanfang" is about young and middle-aged Mei Lanfang, originally intended to be played by two people.

Chen Kaige had already sat back on the sofa, fell silent for a while, and said, "Make-up and fattening can solve this problem. The middle-aged temperament needs to be seen today to see if it can be achieved."

His words revealed that the content of today's audition was related to the middle-aged Mei Lanfang. For Gan Jing, this was obviously a disadvantage.

Li Ming glanced at the young man next to him from the corner of his eye, feeling puzzled, but continued to exchange a few words with the people in the room.

When he felt that it was almost done, Li Ming said, "Okay, let's start."

This kind of words made Liming feel a little embarrassed. Chen Kaige adjusted his mood, gestured with several examiners and judges with his eyes, and then looked at Gan Jing.

Seeing that no one objected, Chen Kaige pondered for a while, and said to the two people in front of him: "Today, I want to watch the episode of the two of you. Mei Lanfang's confidante Meng Xiaodong chose to leave, and he went home to face his wife. play."

In the script, Meng Xiaodong is Mei Lanfang's confidante who became emotional because of the play, and his confidant who is compatible with his soul. One is the emperor of Xu Sheng, and the other is the king of Danjiao.

But a premeditated farce-like murder made Meng Xiaodong leave Mei Lanfang.

Then, that night, Mei Lanfang returned home facing his wife, sat at the table drinking soup and weeping.

Li Ming and Gan Jing were already familiar with the script, and they each pondered upon hearing Director Chen's request.

After about 5 minutes, Li Ming said directly: "I'll come first."

He is both a senior and a celebrity, he has this demeanor and confidence.

Everyone nodded, Assistant Director Chu Nian got up and moved the table to the middle, put a round stool, then walked to the other chair and sat down, said with a smile: "I'll comeo as Mei Lanfang's wife Fu Zhifang, you two, don't dislike my old face."

Li Ming smiled slightly and shook his head to express that he didn't mind, while Gan Jing on the other side was nervously brewing emotions.

Seeing this, Director Chen nodded, "Let's get started."

As soon as these words were uttered, Li Ming's original aura immediately faded away. He raised his right hand sitting by the table, and slowly picked up the spoon and put it into his mouth. In an instant, tears dripped from his eyes.

He used the sound of drinking soup to cover up the sadness in his heart and the choking in his throat, but after all he couldn't cover up the pain at this moment.

Chu Nian, who played a guest role on the other side, stopped his movements, sat in front of Li Ming, and said, "Don't cry"—his acting skills are obviously not at the same level as Li Ming, at least Gan Jing didn't feel that this was the case. The wife of Master Mei.

Li Ming sniffed his nose, blinked his eyes a few times as if apologizing to his wife, lowered his head to take a sip of the hot soup, then raised his head to restrain his sadness.

In this short paragraph, Liming first restrained his own sadness, and then couldn't restrain it even with the help of drinking soup, and then the apology in his eyes and the sadness that was suppressed were distinct.

Everyone nodded secretly when they saw this paragraph, as expected of a heavenly king, the moment Li Ming cried just now, it seemed that Mei Lanfang and Mei Wanhua were right in front of them.

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he was quite satisfied with his performance just now, he slowly got up, and became that superstar again.

Chen Kaige looked at Mei Jiubao next to him, nodded, and said fairly, "Not bad."

Mei Baojiu replied, "Very good."

Li Ming heard the conversation between the two, smiled slightly, gave up his seat, and sat down on the side seat.

Now it's time for Gan Jing.

Gan Jing took a deep breath, and before the director could speak, he walked to the round stool by the table and sat down.

"start."

A camera seemed to appear in front of Gan Jing, making him feel like a fish in water.

Facing the table in a daze for a few seconds, Gan Jing lowered his head, with a look of sadness in his brows and eyes. He picked up the spoon in his right hand, trembling slightly, and bent slightly.

This trembling detail was noticed by everyone at the same time, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but when Gan Jing's eyes met, there was a sudden touch in his heart - the pain in the eyes, and even the trace of nervousness, matched with the movement of the arm. Trembling, it's so expressive!

It seems that the slenderness of a person's heart is suddenly exposed.

Li Ming's face changed slightly, and the corners of Chen Kaige's mouth slightly raised.

Gan Jing's performance was still going on. His arm trembled and then suddenly stabilized. The sound of swallowing the spoon in his mouth mixed with the whimpering in his throat to make an unknown sound.

Tears seemed to fall from the eyes—the previous dawn had already shed tears at this time.

Chu Nian sat at the table again and said, "Don't cry."

Gan Jing looked at each other for a second, lowered his head slightly, and the tears seemed to be dripping from his eye sockets just now with the help of gravity.

The sound of sobbing, inhalation, and the sound of the spoon hitting the wall in the bowl sounded one after another. Gan Jing took a breath, his tears stopped instantly, and he glanced at Chu Nian again.

Chu Nian felt as if his heart had been hit hard, and it twitched suddenly, feeling more pain that flashed away.

Mei Lanfang, he not only experienced the parting of a man's true love, but also experienced the frustration of losing his artistic partner.

He is a gentle resister who treats the world gently and keeps more pain in his heart.

Artists are often alone, and great artists are especially so.

Gan Jing's eyes at that moment are the eyes of lonely art, full of spirit and vivid emotion, and also the inevitable pain in the pursuit of art.

Chu Nian clearly felt that everyone was also shocked, and also clearly felt that he had goose bumps all over his body.

When it was over, Gan Jing got up and wiped his eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
