Actor, stop pinching my ears

Before he had time to feel the intertwining of time and space, a commercial street with people coming and going unfolded in front of Zhou Zixi. Although it was not full of tall buildings like Nancheng, there were small quaint shops connected one after another, and customers lingered in all kinds of places. It is a joy to bargain with the shopkeepers for the goods.For Qian Taoyuan, it was already the busiest.

Looking back, Zhou Zixi saw that the two trees had long since disappeared. Behind him was a shop selling crystals. There were all kinds of colorful crystal pendants at the door of the shop. The house number of the shop was marked: No. 228, Taoyuan Street .

Zhou Zixi is still immersed in the amazement of time travel, Qiantaoyuan is indeed a magical place, suitable for filming magical dramas.

But where did Yao Zhixin go?

Zhou Zixi stepped on the side of the street, stretched his neck and poked his head, looking at the crowds of people on the street, but he didn't find Yao Zhixin.Forget it, it's only 10 house numbers away, not far away.While arranging her clothes, Zhou Zixi rushed to No. 238 Taoyuan Street.

"No. 228 B, Taoyuan Street, No. 228 C, Taoyuan Street, No. 228 D, Taoyuan Street..." What's the situation? Is there 228 shops in No. 26 alone?This place is just plain weird.

Zhou Zixi walked in the opposite direction, "No. 228 A, Taoyuan Street, No. 228 B, Taoyuan Street, No. 228 C, Taoyuan Street..." My God, he finally returned to No. 228, Zhou Zixi was so annoyed that he sat in front of the crystal shop, How can this go.

"What happened to the young man? Come in and talk." An old woman walked out of the crystal shop. She was thin and thin, and her body seemed to be blown down by the wind. She staggered and her face was covered with deep wrinkles. As if engraved with the vicissitudes of the world, he looked at Zhou Zixi from top to bottom, and said with a smile, "I must have lost my way."

"Well, mother-in-law, I'm going to No. 238 Taoyuan Street, how can I get there?" Zhou Zixi raised his head and blinked at the old woman. The audition was at three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was past two o'clock when he lost his way in Qiantaoyuan. Zhou Zixi Really anxious.

The old woman said calmly, "haste makes waste. I think you are destined. I will give you a fortune today. Come in, come to the back room."

Zhou Zixi heard that this posture was wrong, but this mother-in-law doesn't look like a cheater, does she?Zhou Zixi wanted to decline politely: "No, mother-in-law, I really have something urgent."

"Free!" The old lady staggered towards the back room again, "For free fortune telling, free directions."

Hearing the word "guidance", Zhou Zixi immediately stood up and went to the back room with the old woman.The old woman opened the dark red curtain, and on the round table in the back room, there was a crystal ball, crystal clear.

As soon as Zhou Zixi entered the room, the crystal ball started to spin by itself. Zhou Zixi, who was anxious to leave, was also attracted by the ball, "How can it spin by itself?"

The old woman said: "This crystal ball of mine will spin whenever I see someone I'm destined for."

Zhou Zixi was skeptical, maybe it was because of the magnetic field.Suddenly, the crystal ball changed. The original transparent sphere gradually became cloudy and turned into a white background. Suddenly, some pink and green emerged, winding like mist, and gradually stabilized, turning into a peach and a few ivy.

In the end, Zhou Zixi saw the scene where the ivy entangled the peach, and the entanglement became tighter and tighter, until the peach burst and shattered.The old lady looked at this scene, raised her slightly trembling hand, and pointed to the crystal ball, "This is a prophecy ball, young man, something big is going to happen."

Zhou Zixi didn't understand why, so the old lady frowned and continued: "Qiantaoyuan uses peaches as its totem, and today's prophecy by the crystal ball is really a disaster. Don't tell anyone, or you will be killed."

The words were so mysterious, Zhou Zixi nodded nervously, but he didn't understand what the crystal ball meant.It's just ivy, which reminds him of Hua Xikai who is far away in Lancheng.

I couldn't figure out whether the old lady was telling Qian Taoyuan's fortune or him, and Zhou Zixi couldn't control that much. Thinking of the audition, he mentioned No. 238 and Yao Zhixin to the old lady. I didn't expect the old lady to agree so quickly this time, " Are you saying that you just met Yao Zhixin, he is a warm-hearted person, well-known in Qiantaoyuan, wait a minute, I will call him and ask him to pick you up again."

Not long after, Yao Zhixin rushed over, "Oh, Zixi, so you were blown here. The wind is strong enough. By the way, Mrs. Ren, thank you. Zixi, let's go, we are about to take turns." it's your turn."

Saying goodbye to this strange crystal shop in a hurry, Zhou Zixi was still struggling with Ren Po's words, Yao Zhixin took him through several random doors, he didn't know how many, a white building with three floors in a row The house appeared in front of Zhou Zixi, and the house number was clearly marked: No. 238, Taoyuan Street.

Zhou Zixi withdrew his thoughts and rushed into the building, but the stairs were already full of people, Yao Zhixin followed slowly, Zhou Zixi hurriedly asked, "Are they all here for the audition?"

"No, some are here to apply for field assistants." Yao Zhixin explained.

Zhou Zixi looked at the crowd in confusion, frowned and asked, "But won't they get lost?"

Yao Zhixin laughed: "They are all from Qiantaoyuan, so they won't get lost. The producer originally planned to make a purely local fantasy drama, but the foreign businessmen have to think that an artist from Nancheng will play the male lead, so that the movie can be sold and box office. Alright, so Xu Rui was invited, and I also gave you a chance to audition."

Zhou Zixi was thoughtful, although he felt strange in his heart, he couldn't say anything.

"Brother Yao!" "Brother Yao!" "Brother Yao, thanks for your hard work." On the way upstairs, people kept saying hello to Yao Zhixin.

"Brother Yao brought a younger brother?" A little elf-like girl teased Zhou Zixi.

Yao Zhixin hurriedly patted her on the head: "What nonsense, he's here for an audition." Seeing this, the little girl quickly covered her mouth and ran away.

Yao Zhixin turned around: "I'm sorry, these kids have never seen much of the world, and the internet here is underdeveloped."

Zhou Zixi quickly waved his hands: "It's all right." Yao Zhixin felt embarrassed when he said that, as he hadn't published any of his works yet.

On the third floor, in the corridor outside the audition hall, the candidates exchanged ideas in groups of three or five.

"I heard that an auditioner just conjured up a basket of peaches in front of foreign businessmen. It's funny."

"Isn't it? This is a fantasy drama, not magic."

"And the director's production is very strict, it's such a big show."

Zhou Zixi walked through the crowded corridors. During this period, everyone came to audition for Tao Zijing. Everyone showed their talents and wanted to impress the director.In fact, Zhou Zixi is not interested in this role. No deer demon would want to play his own food, let alone the fifth male.But Xu Rui is so anxious to join the group by himself, the situation here must not be optimistic.

The road from Qiantaoyuan Airport to here has already refreshed Zhou Zixi's three views. Are these strange arbitrary doors a regional feature, or the result of evil spirits?Zhou Zixi's mind was in chaos, he only wanted to return to Nancheng safely after the audition, and not get lost again, and he didn't even have time to think about how to play the peach essence well during the audition later.

In the time for a cup of tea, it was Zhou Zixi's turn to audition. Although he was not someone who had never acted before, such a grand formal audition inevitably made him a little nervous.

Zhou Zixi hung his hands at his sides, pretending to walk in naturally.There is a row of tables in the middle of the audition hall, with serious faces behind them. The director and producer are sitting in the middle. The producer is a local landlord in Qiantaoyuan City.

The producer and the director whispered to each other. The director shook off his long flowing hair and a big beard. He looked like he had been influenced by performance art.

As for the investors of this film, two foreign businessmen sat next to them, looking serious, with a business notebook in front of each.

Zhou Zixi was a little confused. Before coming here, Xu Rui didn't say that there was a requirement for foreign languages ​​in the audition. His oral English level might be able to handle ordering food in a French restaurant. Now that he's here for the audition, let's prepare in advance.

Unexpectedly, the devil with blond hair and blue eyes spoke first, "Nihao, please let me take the time."

Hey, this dialect is better than expected, Zhou Zixi felt relieved, and replied seriously: "Well, my name is Zhou Zixi, I have filming experience in film and television, commercials, and reality shows..."

Before Zhou Zixi finished speaking, the producer interrupted: "Oh, Zhou Zixi, Xu Rui recommended him, he is not from Qiantaoyuan City, so how can he play Peach Essence? Only people from Qiantaoyuan City can play Peach Essence." Play well."

Although I don't want to play this kind of strange peach myself, but you can't directly suppress my acting ability, Zhou Zixi is not convinced: "Teacher, you should at least watch me perform a part." Although Zhou Zixi has little acting experience, she is still a little Talent, this kind of teacher who suppresses a person as soon as he comes up, can only be old wet at best.

"Then you perform a peach-changing magic trick with your bare hands. If you want to play a peach essence, this is the basic requirement." The director is willing to give Zhou Zixi a chance.Turn peaches with bare hands?Zhou Zixi seems to understand that this is not magic, it may be sorcery.And according to the rules of the demon world, for example, the deer demon can change into a deer shape, and the ivy spirit can change into vines, so does the peach spirit exist?And those who can turn peaches with bare hands are real peach essences.

Okay, if you want to stump me, it is usually possible, but today I will show you!

"Okay." Zhou Zixi made those interlaced fingers and crossed arms that are often seen in fantasy dramas. The movements are coherent and coherent, and the posture is soft and beautiful.Then he turned around, turned his back to the director, picked up the hat of the sweater with both hands, two big peaches slipped directly from the hat into his hands, Zhou Zixi turned back while biting the peaches.

"Ilikehim." One of the ghosts slapped the table and shouted loudly.The director turned his head to look at the foreign devil, frowned slightly, and exchanged glances with the landlord producer, "George, we also like him very much, but according to the script, the essence of the character Tao Zijing should be played by Qian Taoyuan City." It would be more appropriate for someone else to interpret it.”

"I'll make it clear, is this Weishe?" The devil immediately turned red-eyed, "Art seems to have no borders, borders."

Seeing that the foreign businessman was annoyed, and he had no good fruit to eat, the producer hurriedly patted the foreign businessman on the shoulder, trying to smooth things over, "Everyone, don't worry, there are still many actors waiting to audition, we can't choose until we have watched them all." It's not too late. Zhou Zixi, you've done a good job, we've made a note of it, please go back and wait for the notification."

The author has something to say: The spoken English of these two devils is not bad, and they should have passed the Chinese level four or six.

Zixi: Dirty, not sure. . .
