They all thought I was a stand-in [rebirth]

It wasn't until the director yelled "cut", that Ruan Ning'an suddenly came back to his senses.

At this time, the man who had just stepped into the flames had returned to his side and patted his shoulder lightly.

The other party still had a mottled stage outfit, but the dark eyes with a faint smile brought Ruan Ningan back to his senses.

At this time, Ji Duo.

It wasn't the guy with sharp and cold eyes on the stage just now.

Ruan Ning'an's eyebrows twitched, he always felt that the cold eyes were very familiar.

Is it because good actors act like something?

After the director picked up the microphone to congratulate everyone on the perfect performance, he led everyone to thank the staff and management of the Grand Theater.

Finally, he turned to Ji Duo: "This time, we were able to come here for the recording, thanks to the help of Mr. Ji. His friend is one of the managers of this theater. Through his communication, we got For such an opportunity to perform such a classic drama as "Angels and Demons" here! Here, I must once again express my sincere thanks to him."

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you."

Ji Duo smiled: "It's my honor."

After a short pause, he looked at the lens, "I really want to perform here too."

After the performance, several staff members came to show everyone around the theater.

Ji Duo pulled Ruan Ning'an, turned around and went backstage.

It turned out that there was an elderly foreign woman waiting for them in the background.

As they got closer, Ruan Ning'an could clearly see the people waiting for them.

The face of the other party is kind and kind. Although there are wrinkles and grooves on his face, his eyes are bright and energetic, and he looks very energetic.

And it makes people feel good.

Ji Duo: "She is the creator of this script and also my teacher, Fanny."

Ruan Ning'an's English is very average, and when he was hesitating about how to greet her more appropriately, the old lady spoke first.

"This is Xiao Ning, right?" She spoke Mandarin, although her accent was awkward, but she expressed it clearly.

Ruan Ning'an: "You...can speak Chinese?"

Old lady Fanny: "I will, I have studied in your country before."

Ruan Ning'an was surprised: "Really? You went to our country to learn acting?"

Fanny seems to be 70 or [-] years old. When she was in college, it happened that the country was in turmoil.At that time, although there were good universities in China, the classification and education were definitely not as perfect as those abroad.

Fanny: "Don't be surprised. When I was studying abroad, I majored in literature. At that time, you had many excellent authors, and I admired them very much."

Ruan Ning'an suddenly nodded.

When Ji Duo introduced just now, he also said that Fanny is a playwright.

Fanny looked at Ruan Ning'an from top to bottom, gradually matching the person in front of her with the person in Ji Duo's previous description.

Except that the other party was younger than she imagined, it was indeed consistent with what Ji Duo described.

Especially those light-colored pupils, crystal clear pupils, really make people want to go up to him and give him a hug.

After all, it was the first time we met, Fanny resisted the urge, and continued: "Ji Duo specifically asked me to add this role to you."

Ruan Ning'an looked at Ji Duo in surprise.

At this time, a staff member came in to look for Ji Duo.

Ji Duo patted Ruan Ning'an on the shoulder, said "I'll be here soon", and then walked out.

Fanny: "Didn't Ji Duo tell you that the role of this priest Jamie is the role he played for several years before? By the way, the priest in the version of DVD released a few years ago was played by him. "

Ruan Ning'an: "!!!!"

No wonder when he first watched "Angels and Demons", he always felt that the priest's eyes were familiar and special.

I always thought it was because of the excellent acting skills of the actors, but in addition to the acting skills, it was also because of the role played by Ji Duo.

Fanny said: "Actually, at the beginning, I was unwilling to add this role and change the ending."

Ruan Ning'an: "I understand, as a creator, you are definitely not willing to make changes because of other people's ideas and suggestions. Especially such a successful and popular work."

Fanny: "But Ji Duo later told me that he wanted to give you this role, and I agreed."

Fanny still couldn't hold back, and stepped forward to hug Ruan Ning'an, "You and Ji Duo really surprised me, to be honest, I like this ending even more now."

Ruan Ning'an himself liked such an ending very much.

After such a simple change by Ji Duo, Father Jamie immediately became a lot more human.

He is no longer the devil who looks like an angel but has a dark heart in the original script.On the contrary, he has become more of a character who is both good and evil, and looks more three-dimensional and charming.

And Tom, who was chosen by him, will continue his "angel" part.

Ruan Ning'an believes that after experiencing so much, Tom will definitely become a very good pastor.

And such a change fits very well with the original theme of the script "Angels and Demons".

Fanny: "When I watched your performance, I became more and more sure of an idea. He wanted to use this heart to feel that Tom and Jamie could express something of himself to you."

Ruan Ning'an murmured: "Express something about himself to me..."

Fanny said: "Don't you Chinese always talk and express what your heart wants."

Fanny and Ruan Ji didn't stay in the background for too long.

When the director and others were rehearsing and filming just now, they had already invited Fanny to dinner.

"Is there any problem with Black?" Ji Duo asked as he walked out.

Blake is Fanny's husband and Jidd's acting teacher.

It was Black who said that he was suddenly ill and rushed over here.

Fanny smiled and shook her head: "The nurse you hired has been at home, and there are two other students visiting him today, it's completely fine."

Ji Duo nodded in relief.

Ji Duo asked someone to drive over early in the morning, and the three of them arrived at the hotel for dinner later than the others.

The person in charge of the hotel and Ji Duo are old acquaintances, and they haven't seen each other for a long time. As soon as they saw Ji Duo, they pulled him to talk about things.Ruan Ning'an and Fanny walked to the reserved private room together.

As soon as I turned a corner, I saw a familiar figure coming out of it.

It's Professor Ma.

The old man lowered his head halfway, holding his briefcase in his hand, and his steps were heavy, but people could feel that every step was anxious.

"Professor Ma!"

Hearing this, the old man raised his eyes to look at him, and when he saw the person beside him, he suddenly stopped.

Fanny was chatting with Ruan Ning'an about Ji Duo's past, when she heard Ruan Ning'an calling for someone, she also turned her head and smiled politely at Professor Ma.

Professor Ma's lips trembled.

He looked away stiffly and said, "I'll leave."

After speaking, without waiting for Ruan Ning'an's response, he hurried forward.

Ruan Ning'an looked back at Professor Ma's back, his brows slowly furrowed.

Although Professor Ma didn't say anything, the other party's eyes made him feel that something was wrong.

"Is the one just now a famous person?"

Fanny asked quietly.

Recalling what he had seen before, Professor Ma's resume, Ruan Ning'an nodded: "Yes, he is very well-known in his own field in China."

"No wonder," murmured Fanny, "it looks strangely familiar."

Ruan Ningan glanced at her thoughtfully.

After sending Fanny in, Ruan Ning'an asked Chu Ran next to him to take care of Fanny, and got up to go out to find Professor Ma.

Walking around randomly, he quickly found Professor Ma at the window at the end of the corridor next to him.

The old man stood there, looking up at the window.

Ruan Ning'an stepped forward quietly, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him: "Professor Ma, you and Fanny...have you known each other before?"

The old man's Adam's apple rolled up and down many times, and finally said: "When she came to China to study, we were together."

Ruan Ning'an gave a light "ah": "Then why...didn't you recognize her just now?"

The old man shook his head.

"She has a husband and a child, and she should have forgotten me as an old friend."

They had obviously had the closest relationship, but in the end, just saying "old friend" summed up the relationship between the two of them.

It was completely dark outside, and the night was reflected in the eyes of the old man, with faint glints of water.

"But in this case, don't you feel sorry?"

After a long time, Ruan Ning'an heard Professor Ma say in a calm and heavy tone: "Everything is fine with her, so I am content."

Although it was a pity, Ruan Ning'an also felt that Professor Ma's handling was the best.

Do not disturb, is the greatest tenderness of adults.

When I went back, there was a sudden commotion inside.

As soon as Ruan Ning'an sat down, Chu Ran turned his head to the side: "What about Ma Jiao, why haven't you come back after going out for a long time?"

Fanny, who was sitting on the other side of Ruan Ning'an, also turned her head.

Ruan Ning'an cleared his throat: "Professor Ma has been busy all day, and he is not feeling well. Please let me apologize to everyone. He has asked the driver to send him back first."

As the oldest person in the program group, it is really not easy to come and go with everyone.

Everyone also accepted such a reason.

Ruan Ningan took a bite, and seeing that everyone was still whispering, he asked Chu Ran what everyone was discussing.

Chu Ran: "The sponsor's father of the program group happened to be here on a business trip, and he will treat us to lunch tomorrow."

Ji Duo also came in from the outside: "Father, the gold master?"

He moved his head closer, and the sound, together with the breath he exhaled, fell on Ruan Ning'an's ears.

Ruan Ning'an's ears were hot, and he turned his head back, signaling him not to get too close.But Ji Duo didn't seem to see it, and leaned closer to the ground.

Not only that, but also a little blow.

Ruan Ning'an's ears became even hotter.

He couldn't hold back, and hit the man's leg hard on the table.

Ji Duo raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile in his black eyes grew stronger.

Ruan Ning'an: "Who is our patron's father?"

Chu Ran didn't notice the small movements between the two, and continued: "Ruan Ruan, you participated in the recording of the program, and when you signed the contract, didn't you check which company produced it?"

Ruan Ning'an: "Then you called me to save me, didn't you? Does it make a difference to me if I look at it or not?"

Chu Ran: "..."

He picked up the phone, entered a few key words quickly, and then pushed the phone down in front of Ruan Ningan.

The portrait on the phone screen made Ruan Ning'an's eyebrows twitch several times.

The producer of this variety show turned out to be Jiang Chuan's company.

In other words, they will have dinner with this person tomorrow.

After returning to the hotel, Ruan Ning'an didn't rush to wash up, but hugged the pillow, sat down in front of the bay window, and stared at the night sky outside in a daze.

Ji Duo came over with a change of clothes: "What's the matter, are you thinking about lunch tomorrow?"

"There's nothing to worry about tomorrow. I have you by my side. What are you afraid of?" Ruan Ning'an said, "I'm thinking about Professor Ma."

Ji Duo: "Huh?"

Ruan Ning'an let go of the pillow in his arms, and looked at Ji Duo: "I can understand Ma Jiao's actions, but I still feel regretful. Fanny is such an open-minded person, and both of them are at the same age. I don't regret being a friend, and I don't regret it. It’s not a bad solution.”

Ji Duo looked at him: "So what if we are friends? For Lao Ma, what he regrets is the love he once had, not whether he can be friends."

Ruan Ning'an: "But if that's the case, he probably won't have the chance to meet Fanny again in his life, right?"

Ruan Ning'an bit her lips: "But I'm really sad. I've read Professor Ma's personal resume, and he has never been married. He is already at this age. Is this regret really just a regret?"

He lowered his eyes, and after a long sigh, he stretched out his hand to hook Ji Duo's neck, and raised his head to kiss the corner of his lips: "I'm suddenly glad that I'm back. Otherwise, I'm really sad to think that you will be like this in the future died."

Ji Duo pressed against his face, and was about to comfort him, when Ruan Ning'an said again: "No, I should be glad that I came back early, otherwise I will come back in 30 or [-] years and see you take other little old men for a walk. I'm really going to die!"

Ji Duo: "..."
