substitute actor

As soon as he entered the theater, Jin Siyan sent a message to ask if he was there.

Replying casually, Yan Ge remembered the farce just now, paused with his fingertips, and sent some more.

Yan Ge: [The man I saw outside the elevator today]

Before he finished typing, the other party replied.

Jin Siyan: [Huh? 】

Yan Ge: [Also in the car,]

Jin Siyan: [Did you not notice?]

Yan Ge: [The relationship between him and Gu Yujia seems to be delicate]

Jin Siyan waited a little longer this time, Yan Ge looked at the "the other party is inputting" flashing intermittently for about half a minute before seeing a sentence,

【I knew that Jiang Zhi was also in the car, so I shouldn't have let you in. 】

After a slight pause, Yan Ge suddenly remembered the frank and frivolous words Jiang Zhi said to him in the car just now.

【Why? ] Yan Ge asked.

Jin Siyan paused for a while, and then said: [Because when the two of them are together, they are really very happy]

"Very" what?Yan Ge was a little curious.After a few seconds, I saw the other person finish speaking.

[Noisy. 】

Yan Ge laughed out loud, looking at the words on the screen, he could even see Jin Siyan's slightly disgusted expression between the lines.

But this is not wrong, the two of them got together, it was really noisy.

Just because of a "subordinate" problem, they can quarrel.

Thinking of this, Yan Ge was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked the question.

【What is the relationship between them? 】

Walking out of the elevator, watching "the other party is typing" on the screen disappear and reappear, appear and disappear again, and after repeating this several times, Jin Siyan finally got the answer.

[First love relationship. 】

·

The rehearsal in the afternoon went smoothly, and with Gu Yujia's "guidance" in the morning, Yan Ge has indeed made great progress, and even Gu Yujia, who has always had a bad face, unexpectedly nodded in appreciation.

I don't know if it was because of the incident in the car at noon, but Yan Ge always felt that Gu Yujia had a vague hostility towards him, and he didn't have a good face to look at.

——Although Gu Yujia has always been like this.

Sitting backstage, looking at the people with exquisite makeup on the stage, Yan Ge would always think of Ming Yuan.

She is as radiant as Gu Yujia, just standing there still can grab all the attention, as if she was born to eat this bowl of rice, and she was born to stand under the spotlight.

Looking down at the dust on his hands, Yan Ge sighed slightly.

Although this play is a stage play, and he also plays the leading role, he still can't escape the fate of crawling on the ground.

"A Midsummer Night's Horror" is simply the history of the male second's dog licking. After the rehearsal of the whole play, Gu Yujia either beat him or scolded him, and finally sacrificed him without hesitation when planning a murder.

And Yan Ge, as the person who was kidnapped and abused by Gu Yujia back then, was like Stockholm, the more he hated, the more he wanted to control, and this desire for control eventually turned into possessiveness without any surprise.

Stage plays are different from movies and TV shows, everything is real-time, and there is only a thin line between the audience and the stage, separated by an invisible wall.

If you are not careful, it is easy for the audience to skip the show.

Every time he was thrown to the ground, Yan Ge had to get up quickly, because if he didn't connect well during the real performance, it would block the way of other actors and affect the whole impression.

Wiping the dust off his palm vigorously, Yan Ge took out the crumpled script, glanced at it, and confirmed that there was no rehearsal scene for him, then propped himself up from the ground, and walked slowly towards the bathroom.

Lowering his head, he walked briskly through the building while patting away the water stains on the corners of his clothes. Yan Ge took a breath, and raised his hand to wipe away the water drops left by his face just now.

There are still two hours before the official performance, and the audience who came early are already waiting outside the theater.

Looking at the crowd outside through the blue-gray window, Yan Ge panicked for no reason.

The last time he appeared on such a grand occasion, how long ago, he couldn't remember.

The spotlight, the stage, the full-throated performance,

It's as blurry as a mirror image.

After several deep breaths, Yan Ge came back to his senses, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and pushed open the door of the dressing room.

As a character who will appear in the first act, Gu Yujia has already started to put on makeup. At this moment, he is sitting in front of the mirror with his eyes slightly closed, letting the makeup artist wipe his face, occasionally frowning slightly. The action will be lighter.

Turning his head, he took a look at his dressing table, it was empty, probably because there were not enough makeup artists, and they were busy doing makeup for the main characters right now.

Anyway, I am a temporary substitute, so I don't need to be so particular about makeup.

In fact, he was not qualified to share a lounge with Gu Yujia. Since Jin Siyan came to the theater to pick him up for dinner last time, the people here seem to have changed faces, and their attitude towards him has improved for more than once.

Although there was some self-evident contempt and contempt in his eyes looking at him secretly, but it didn't show on the surface, Yan Ge was already very content.

At least he won't be infinitely ignored when talking to the director.

Gently found a place to sit down, Yan Ge waited for the make-up artist to be free and took out the playbook to review. When the make-up was done, there were only 10 minutes left to leave the venue.

Quietly walked to the entrance of the stage, looked out through the gap in the curtain, the auditorium was still noisy, and there was a steady stream of people looking for seats to enter the venue.

The heart suddenly beat uncontrollably, Yan Ge pursed his lips, kept pinching his palms, and tried his best to keep calm.

Although I was very anxious before going on stage, when I got to the stage, I actually ignored the existence of the audience after getting into it. In addition, the quality of the audience in this show was very good, and there was no accident of interrupting the performance of the actors by shouting loudly.

After the one-and-a-half-hour performance ended, several leading actors returned to the scene to take a curtain call as usual. At this time, the audience's cheers and applause were like thunder, and the applause continued, and the atmosphere reached its highest point in an instant.

The gorgeous light shone on his face, and Yan Ge couldn't open his eyes for a moment, gold and silver sequins flew up from his face continuously, like fireworks.

There was thunderous applause in my ears, which lasted for a long time.

Yan Ge took a deep breath, closed his eyes lightly, and bowed deeply towards the auditorium, even his legs were trembling.

Due to the high enthusiasm of the audience, the performance lasted until nearly eleven o'clock, 10 minutes later than the expected end time. After the venue was cleared, some people entered the lounge to drink and sing.

Gu Yujia naturally refused without hesitation. He wanted to go home and rest, and he had an interview tomorrow morning.

Yan Ge was actually very excited, the excitement of standing in front of the audience again wrapped his whole heart tightly, but Gu Yujia didn't go, and he didn't have any acquaintances when he went, so he could only politely refuse.

"You're not going?"

Gu Yujia, who had been sitting on the sofa and resting with her eyes closed, lazily raised her eyelashes, and glanced at him, with a playful tone of unknown meaning.

"Huh?" Yan Ge didn't expect him to talk to him, so he paused before nodding, "I don't like noisy places."

He lowered his head and packed his things. Although because of Jin Siyan's relationship, his status in the group has improved somewhat, but there is still no one who specially arranges an assistant for him.

Gu Yujia's things were packed so that he could sit there and sleep peacefully, but Yan Ge's things were not packed.

He even had to go home and remove the makeup by himself.

The make-up artists also rushed to get off work, and after removing Gu Yujia's makeup, they took away all the tools, not even a cotton pad.

Gu Yujia didn't talk to him anymore, and her face was a little tired.

Putting the things in the bag, Yan Ge picked up the bag, thought for a while, and then greeted Gu Yujia, "Then I'll go first."

Not surprisingly, no one answered.

Pushing open the door and going out, Yan Ge felt that his eyes were a little dry, but he didn't dare to rub them for fear of getting the cosmetics in them.

The stage makeup has to consider the factors of lighting and makeup, and the characters in this script are also very dramatic, so the makeup is heavy.

Coming out of the rest room, Yan Ge tightened his hand carrying the bag, thinking about washing it with facial cleanser a few times when he went back later.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a person standing at the end of the corridor, Yan Ge raised his head subconsciously, and opened his eyes slightly.

Jin Siyan leaned against the wall, staring at the painting on the opposite wall, raised his chin slightly, bit a cigarette in his mouth, but didn't light it, his eyes were empty, as if he was distracted, his shoulders occasionally shook slightly, looking Like humming.

Outside the corridor, the warm yellow light from the hall shone behind him, aggravating the contrast between light and dark, making the entire facial features more profound, and the silhouettes were tough and distinct, like nobles walking out of medieval oil paintings.

Yan Ge paused, took a breath calmly and recovered.

Perhaps because he noticed the gaze here, Jin Siyan stopped his movements, tilted his head slightly, and looked over from a distance.

"Why so slow?" Jin Siyan bit his cigarette, spoke vaguely, and slowly straightened his body from the wall.

"Ah..." Yan Ge was slightly taken aback, "Are you waiting for me?"

"No. I came here specifically to find Gu Yujia, and I want to go out racing with him tonight." Jin Siyan still had that ridiculous tone, and glanced at him lightly, "Of course I'm waiting for you. Why did you come out now, everyone is leaving It's over."

"I'll pack my things." Yan Ge replied.

"What?" Jin Siyan frowned slightly, looking puzzled, "What do you need to clean up yourself?"

Dumbfounded by his natural young master's tone, Yan Ge twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, with a tired voice, "Gu Yujia's things can be taken care of by others, how can I have the qualifications."

Jin Siyan didn't speak, just stared at him for a while, tilted his head slightly, his eyes slowly moved down from the eyebrows and eyes, and fell on the tip of the nose and lips.

Being looked at a little uncomfortable, Yan Ge shrank his neck, "What's wrong?"

"Did you not take off your makeup?" Jin Siyan asked.

"Yeah." Yan Geyun nodded lightly, "The makeup artists have all gone back."

"No one cares about you?" Jin Siyan was slightly surprised.

"Who cares about me?"

"Poor thing."

"..."

"But should I say it or not, it's pretty good." Jin Siyan looked at his face carefully again, and after a while, he came up with such an evaluation, "It was actually okay to look at it from the audience just now, but now I look at it from this distance..." Jin Siyan slightly lowered his face. First, get closer.

After a while, she slowly nodded and finished speaking, "It's much prettier than before."

Yan Ge paused, "You were off stage just now?"

"Of course, I bought a ticket to come in."

"?"

"Did you watch the drama just now?" Yan Ge was not sure, and asked again.

"Otherwise I buy a ticket to come in and turn on the air conditioner?"

"...Why?" Yan Ge was a little taken aback.

"Because you acted." Jin Siyan spread his hands frankly, "I'm attracted to sex."

"...you didn't tell me you would come."

"Why did I tell you that you can give me a free ticket?"

"Then...you can't."

"That's it - let's go." Jin Siyan took out the lighter from his pocket and lit the cigarette.

"Where are you going?" Yan Ge asked habitually, but followed subconsciously.

"Find someone to remove your makeup."
