Chapter 145: Peony in full bloom
Chapter 145 The Peonies in Bloom
Thinking of the conversation she overheard in the small dressing room, Xia Ling always felt uncomfortable. What was Jin Yifei looking at in the artist during the audition?
Li Lei looked at her expression and asked, "Xiao Ling, do you have any more questions?"
Xia Ling hesitated and shook her head. After being together for so long, she finally discovered that Li Lei was easy to talk to when he was easy to talk to, but when his temper got worse, no one could bear it. Take today for example, he made such a big fuss over a trivial matter that the security guard at the door was fired. It would be bad if she did something to Jin Yifei because of her baseless suspicions.
Zheng Desong said: "Miss Ye, don't worry, our producer is keeping an eye on us. Even if you put aside your worries and audition, we will definitely give you a fair result. What's more," he looked at her, his words seemed to have deep meaning, "Although Jin Yifei is romantic and ridiculous, he is by no means a person who can't tell the difference between the important and the important."
These words made Xia Ling feel more at ease.
Li Lei frowned at the words "romantic and ridiculous" and vaguely grasped something. "Xiao Ling," he stood up from the wide and thick sofa chair and said, "I will accompany you there."
Just as Xia Ling was about to say yes, his cell phone rang again.
He took a look and frowned a little.
She didn't know what the important call was. She didn't want to delay his business, so she said, "You answer the phone. I'll just go there by myself. It'll be fine."
Zheng Desong on the side was very sensible and stood up: "I will send Miss Ye there."
With Zheng Desong as his company, Li Lei felt more at ease, so he stopped insisting: "Xiao Ling, be careful."
Xia Ling nodded and followed Zheng Desong towards the audition venue.
The venue was not big. In the center was a small temporary stage with a wooden floor. Under the focus of cameras and spotlights from all directions, a girl in red was dancing gracefully. Her dancing posture was enchanting and elegant, like an elf bathing in fire. .
Xia Ling was calm at first glance. The girl was far inferior to her in dancing.
Zheng Desong led her past several staff members and a large push of filming equipment to the edge of the temporary stage.
There, she saw a recliner with a person leaning comfortably on it, wearing a floral shirt, crossing his legs, and the watch on his left wrist seemed to be a Vacheron Constantin. He didn't notice their arrival, and was talking enthusiastically to the man on the low stool next to him: "The monster in red is quite a monster, but his basic skills are not very solid. His legs are not straight, and it is difficult to lower his waist." , her bones ached for that back-spin action just now... It's not exciting enough to play with in bed..."
He didn't lower his voice deliberately. Maybe he couldn't hear it on the stage, but Xia Ling behind him could hear it clearly.
Zheng Desong’s face looked unhappy and he coughed heavily.
The man on the recliner turned around and was a little surprised to see them. "Brother Zheng, why are you here? Do you want to see me for something?" He stood up as he spoke, with a smile on his face, "Is this person next to you...?"
“Ye Xingling.” Xia Ling said.
Look carefully at the man's appearance. He has a very handsome face and a pair of peach-blossom eyes that are so charming that they almost water. At this moment, he was looking at her unscrupulously with his eyes, and his gaze was simply... peeling off her clothes layer by layer.
Xia Ling felt disgusted in her heart and took two steps back into the darkness without leaving a trace.
Zheng Desong seemed to sense that she was uncomfortable and blocked the man's sight intentionally or unintentionally. "Yifei," he said, "This is Ms. Ye Xinglingye. I have an appointment to audition today. She is a distinguished guest. Please greet her well, okay?" He emphasized the word "distinguished guest".
The man was startled for a moment, then smiled: "I know, I know... Miss Ye, you are so proud. Even Brother Zheng, who has never interfered in casting, thinks so highly of you." His eyes became serious and he stretched out to her. Take action, "Let me introduce myself. I am Jin Yifei, the director of "War". I heard the assistant director Lin Yuanyi mentioned you, and you are welcome to audition."
It's also to blame that Lin Yuanyi has been busy recently. When he mentioned Xia Ling to Jin Yifei, he focused on how good she was at dancing, but forgot to mention her relationship with Li Lei - at the cocktail party that day, Li Lei protected everyone. Everyone saw it. If Jin Yifei knew about that incident, he would never have dared to look at Xia Ling with an improper look just now.
Xia Ling stretched out her hand and shook it lightly.
At this time, the girl in red above had finished her dance and left the stage. The staff simply cleaned up the venue and came over to ask Jin Yifei if he could conduct the next audition.
Jin Yifei looked at Xia Ling and smiled: "Miss Ye, are you ready? The venue has been vacated."
She nodded and walked up.
Naihe, her ears are very good, and she heard Jin Yifei and Zheng Desong's whispers behind her clearly -
“Hey, Brother Zheng, who is this Ye Xingling? Isn’t she just a new member of Tianyi? Why do I need you to accompany me here in person?”
"He has a backer, so be careful, put away your tricks of attracting bees and butterflies, and don't get into trouble."
"Backer?!" Jin Yifei said in surprise, "Could it be that he was hired? No, he looks just average. What kind of good sponsor can I find who is better than me?...Brother Zheng, who is the sponsor? Just this look?"
"Keep your voice down!" Zheng Desong was a little annoyed, "Stop making trouble. After all, you are someone you can't afford to offend."
With their whispers, Xia Ling walked step by step towards the center of the stage. More and more spotlights were focused on her, and the blazing light quickly cleared all the distracting thoughts from her ears and mind. She could no longer hear their voices. When she stood still in the center of the stage, her heart and eyes were clear, and all that was left was dancing.
The sound of the guqin plays and the beautiful melody of Chinese classical dance.
She is familiar with this melody. Before the audition, this was the music sent to her by the crew. All the artists participating in the casting must choreograph to this music and choreograph the dance steps that the dancer will dance at the palace banquet.
She has practiced with great concentration.
The dance steps are spinning out, the body is stretched, and a water-cutting dagger in the hand turns into a stream of light.
The dance she choreographed was not easy to dance. One difficult move after another. She kicked the purple gold crown upside down and then spun sharply. She twisted her body and bowed her waist to hold a peony in her mouth. The movements were natural and flowing... No wonder she showed off her skills. The film crew didn't specify it. So many difficult moves? In order to make so many movements beautiful and dazzling, she took it upon herself to add more difficult movements. I remember the first time I practiced, after one set of dances, I felt like my body was in knots.
The effect is also amazing.
The sword was shining continuously, and the peonies in her mouth were still carrying the cool dew and faint fragrance. In a daze, she felt that she had returned to the palace feast a thousand years ago. The concubines and ministers were intertwined with their own thoughts. She was in the prosperous age. The center sings and dances alone. In a drunken dream, he leans back and starts to rotate, downwards in circles, and then downwards... spinning himself into a bright and blooming peony.
