Chapter 1213 Join in the fun

  After lunch, Chen Chen and Cheng Xi took Zhou Jingyi away, while Xiao Yao went back to the studio's practice room with the band to continue rehearsing.

  The atmosphere of the band’s rehearsal is relaxed and pleasant. Everyone spent the whole afternoon in the rehearsal room. In addition to practicing the songs to be performed at the awards ceremony tomorrow night, they also sang some previous songs together, which can basically be regarded as playing while practicing.

   Throughout the afternoon, Zhou Jingyi never returned to the studio, nor did she call Xiao Yao and others. After finishing the rehearsal, Xiao Yao could only call Cheng Xi and ask Zhou Jingyi's whereabouts.

   contacted Cheng Xi, Xiao Yao learned that Zhou Jingyi had also been in the dance studio for an entire afternoon, and she was still with the dance troupe.

  Zhou Jingyi was a guest from afar, and the members of the private team had not yet come to China, so Xiao Yao could not leave it alone, so he could only take the band members to the studio of the "Chenxi" dance group.

  When Xiao Yao and the band members arrived, the members of the dance troupe were still there. Xiao Yao and the people from the dance troupe hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they offered to invite everyone out for dinner.

  For so many years, Xiao Yao has had very little contact with this dance troupe, and the members of the dance troupe have also undergone some changes. Although there are still some old members whom Xiao Yao had met at the beginning, there are many people whom Xiao Yao had never met and didn't know.

  Xiao Yao and his party, together with the dancers, there are too many people, and some people in the dance troupe have never seen Xiao Yao, and feel a little embarrassed. Those old members who knew Xiao Yao felt that it was not good to leave their teammates to play with Xiao Yao, so they all refused, and only let Chen Chen and Cheng Xi, two star artists who had faded out of the dance troupe, go with Xiao Yao.

  With the development of Xiao Yao's career, the gap between him and the ordinary dancers in these dance groups will inevitably grow. Xiao Yao didn't care about these differences in identity, but he could also understand the thoughts of those dance troupe members, so Xiao Yao did not force it, but left with Chen Chen, Cheng Xi and Zhou Jingyi.

  Supper is Xiao Yao’s host. Xiao Siqi and his wife were not there, everyone was the same age, and they didn't mention Zhou Jingyi and Sun Tingting's participation in variety shows, so the dinner atmosphere was more casual and comfortable.

  At dinner, everyone drank a little wine. Dean and George took advantage of the drunkenness to ask Xiao Yao to take them out to go out in the bar and go to the nightclub to continue playing, but Xiao Yao sternly refused on the grounds that they would attend the awards ceremony tomorrow. After dinner, Xiao Yao sent all five foreign friends back to the hotel and let them rest early.

  Chen Chen and Cheng Xi did not work today. When they received a call from Xiao Yao to come to the company in the morning, they both drove by themselves and did not bring their assistants. However, because everyone drank at dinner and it was difficult to drive, they also called their assistants temporarily as drivers, just like Xiao Yao.

  Chen Chen and Cheng Xi ate dinner with Xiao Yao and others, and accompanied Xiao Yao to send Zhou Jingyi and others back to the hotel.

   "Thanks for your hard work today, I will get together again later!" When he came out of the hotel, Xiao Yao said goodbye to Chen Chen and Cheng Xi.

   "Don't! It's been a long time, let's find a place to chat too!" Cheng Xi pulled Xiao Yao's waved arm and smiled.

   "Yes," Chen Chen also smiled, "You and I will entertain your friends for an afternoon when you call. You can't find us when there is something to do. If you are okay, just throw us aside?"

  "Well, I will attend the awards ceremony tomorrow! How about waiting for the awards ceremony to end, and we will find time to gather the day after tomorrow?" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Don't worry, we won't take you to the bar." Chen Chen said, "It's still early, let's find a coffee shop to sit in and have a brief chat. It won't affect your rest!"

   "Why don't we both take your car, you give us a ride, let's talk in the car? Anyway, we will go the same way when we go back!" Cheng Xi said, "Our two cars, let the assistant drive back!"

  "Is it something to do with me?" Xiao Yao said, "Let's find a coffee shop!"

  The weather is relatively cold today. The three of them are wearing scarves, basically covering half of their faces. They are not afraid to be recognized when they go to the cafe.

  There is a coffee shop in the hotel, but the three of them did not enter the hotel again, but found a coffee shop near the hotel. After the three of them entered, they ordered a private room to sit down. After the waiter delivered the drinks and snacks ordered by the three of them, they took off their scarves and removed their disguise.

   "What's the matter? Let's talk!" Xiao Yao said to the two.

"I have nothing to do, mainly because Cheng Xi has something to do!" Chen Chen smiled, "I am a singer, and I only need you to write a song for me. If you want to have a song that suits me, I believe I don't need to talk about you. Can think of me, so I have nothing to say!"

   "Are you trying to remind me vaguely that I haven't written a song for you in a long time?" Xiao Yao smiled.

"You said yes!" Chen Chen smiled, "but I didn't mean to urge you to write a song for me! How long hasn’t Fan Linxuan and Gong Chen received a song you wrote to her? I told the two girls Incomparable, I still have this self-knowledge!"

   "Indeed," Xiao Yao nodded, "I haven't written a song for the two of them in a long time, what else can you complain about?"

  "Hey~you!" Chen Chen stared at Xiao Yao.

"However, I said you can't compare with them, but it's not because they are girls and you are male." Xiao Yao said, "You are a singer-songwriter. You have released your own original albums, and you can't write them. ! As a singer-songwriter who has released an original album, do you want me to write songs for you? Do you want the title of singer-songwriter any more?"

  "I~" Chen Chen choked and said, "Singer-songwriters can sing songs written for him too!"

   "Yes, singer-songwriters can also sing other people's songs," Xiao Yao nodded, then spread his hands together, "But what should I do if I have a song that suits you now?"

   "Cold salad!" Chen Chen said to Xiao Yao angrily, "So I was just a vague reminder, and I didn't let you bring out the song to me now!"

"Reminder, but it's useless!" Xiao Yao said, "In the beginning, I helped you to write songs to help you transform into a singer and enter the music scene. Now you have released original albums and have a firm foothold in the music scene. You didn't return last year Have you been a mentor on a rap show? You are already a mentor, indicating that your status is quite stable. Do you still need me to help you go? You don’t want others to say that you have been relying on me in the future, right? In the future, if I have a work that suits you, I will still work with you, but I decided to stop doing things like writing songs for you very early. The same goes for Fan Linxuan and Gong Chen!"

   "Sure enough," Chen Chen looked at Cheng Xi, "The boss understands him!"

"Come on!" Cheng Xi said to Chen Chen, "I heard Sister Jiaying say that the two songs in Fan Linxuan's new album were corrupted from him by the boss for excuses. Those two songs of yours are It was earned by the love we both taught him to dance. No special circumstances, the boss can’t get the goods from him. Why are you?"

   "Chen'er, you just have nothing to do with you!" Xiao Yao looked at Cheng Xi and said, "Cheng Xi, let you talk about it, what can you do with me?"

At the beginning, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying allowed Xiao Yao to cooperate with Yin Xi to develop a fashion brand, and to open a musical instrument company with others. They did not ask Xiao Yao to incorporate it into Qi Jia's studio. Later, Xiao Yao was allowed to establish his own personal work in Shanghai. Office, and Zhao Rui and others in partnership to open a film and television company, are all about letting Xiao Yao develop freely.

  Xiao Yao knows that Chen Chen is purely a complaint among friends. It will not be his parents expressing dissatisfaction to himself through Chen Chen's mouth, so he has no burden in his heart.

"I'm looking for you to ask about your TV drama project." Cheng Xi's expression is much more serious than Chen Chen's, and she asked sternly, "I don't have a long-term project in the first half of this year. The schedule is with your TV series. The filming cycle happens to fit in. Sister Jiaying and I have seen the script of your TV series and thought it was a very good project. I want to try it, and Sister Jiaying agrees!"

   "My project, my mom must look good!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Isn't it my mom who asked you to come and ask for a role? My mom should come and tell me in person!"

"Your mother won't interfere in your project and add people to the crew!" Cheng Xi said, "However, she supports me and talk to you first to see if there is a role that you think is a good fit for me. Even if there is. , I also want to participate in the unified role audition. If you think it’s not appropriate to talk about it, or you don’t want Qi Jia’s actors to participate, I won’t waste this time and let the company find other projects for me.”

"I won't open the back door, and there is nothing to avoid!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Since you have read the script, you can first tell which character you are more interested in? Needless to say the female one, I have already decided! "

   "I know, I heard Sister Jiaying say that Yin Xi is already scheduled to play the female one, and your play is written specifically for her." Cheng Xi said.

   "My mother already knows? It seems that her relationship with Yin Xi is really good!" Xiao Yao smiled.

It is not surprising that Ye Jiaying and Cheng Xi have seen the script. Because the casting work was handed over to the casting studio for some preliminary screening, Xiao Yao provided the script to the casting studio. There are actors in Qijia's studio, and it is not surprising that they will receive an audition invitation from the casting studio. However, Xiao Yao only told the casting studio that the male and female one had been decided, and there was no need to choose, and he did not tell them who the male and female one decided was. For example, Li Ya had read the script in the morning, but she didn't know who the man, the woman and the other were. Ye Jiaying knew that the girl must be Yin Xi's performance. Xiao Yao didn't say that he could only know from Yin Xi.

Cheng Xi knew about the relationship between Ye Jiaying and Yin Xi, and did not take Xiao Yao's words, but continued: "In my current position, even if I can't play the first female role, I have to be a more significant supporting role. If I go to Playing a small supporting role in your project is like you are relying on the resources of your parents' studio to forcibly upgrade the cast of TV series."

   "I understand," Xiao Yao nodded, "Just say which character you are interested in!"

  Cheng Xi has developed very well under Ye Jiaying in recent years. Even if they are not the top-tier florets like Li Ya and Ren Bing, they can also be regarded as the first-line florets, the main force among young actresses. Given that she is now enough to serve as a major heroine, it is unlikely that she will play a role lower than that of the female third. If it is really a small role, it can basically be regarded as a guest appearance, and there is no need to come to Xiao Yao to talk about it in such a formal way.

   "I'm a few years older than you, plus my current position, the actor's sister is not suitable," Cheng Xi said, "I think the role that suits me may only be the heroine's colleague Anna."

   "Do you want to play Anna?" Xiao Yao looked at Cheng Xi.

Although the elder sister of the protagonist in the play is the same age as the protagonist, and is a best friend, but from the perspective of positioning, this role is an elder role, and Cheng Xi is now playing the style of the young and beautiful heroine, not only in appearance and age. It doesn't fit the role, and playing such a role will also have a great interference and influence on her current positioning, which is really not suitable. Except for the actor's sister, the role of the heroine's colleague Anna is the most popular in supporting roles.

   "Well," Cheng Xi nodded, "What do you think?"

   "To tell the truth?" Xiao Yao asked.

   "Of course!" Cheng Xi said nervously.

"First of all, any actor must pass an audition to decide, so I'm just talking about some very superficial feelings!" Xiao Yao said, "In terms of appearance, your height is not short, but your face is round and you don't have that. This is a very aggressive aura, and may not be suitable for a scheming female role in the workplace. From your past acting experience, you have played a role in ancient costumes, and modern dramas are not unimpressive roles, but They are basically innocent and cute characters. I'm not sure if you can manage this character well."

   "Then what should your ideal Anna look like?" Cheng Xi asked.

  "This morning, Li Ya recommended Li Xiaorui from her studio to play Anna!" Xiao Yao said, "In terms of appearance, Li Xiaorui is more suitable for Anna."

   "Oh~" Cheng Xi said disappointedly.

"However, I only promised Li Ya to let Li Xiaorui audition, and I did not promise Li Ya that I would give Li Xiaorui the role of Anna." Xiao Yao said again, "In appearance, Li Xiaorui is better than you. Appropriate, but when it comes to acting skills, I think you are better than her! At that time, whoever chooses to play Anna depends on the overall consideration of your performance at the audition. If you perform well, it is not without a chance. So. You can come audition and try it!"

   "Well, I understand!" Cheng Xi nodded.

"Xiao Yao!" Cheng Xi said to Xiao Yao again, "As for this role, I will still spend my energy to prepare. But in case, I mean if it is not selected, I don't have any long-term projects in the first half of this year. , If I am not selected by any chance, I am going to participate in a variety show, what do you think?"

"You are an artist from Qijia Studio, and you are not an artist under me," Xiao Yao said strangely, "If you don't choose the role of Anna, you can participate in the variety show if you want to participate in the variety show, as long as Qijia Studio has no objection. What are you asking me for?"

   "Of course other variety shows have nothing to do with you," Cheng Xi smiled. "But what if the variety show I want to participate in is "Dancing with the Stars" by Donghai TV?"

  ""Dancing with the Stars"?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Cheng Xi said with a smile, "I came from a dance troupe and I was invited to that show before. I used to have no schedule and no interest, but this year Duoer and Jin are going to participate, and I want to Go and join in the fun!"

"One more thing!" Chen Chen interrupted, "If Xi'er is also there, then our dance troupe won't have to worry about going to dance with Duo'er or the dancer with Jin. Xi'er is the former captain of the dance troupe and is still a dance troupe. A member of her. Our dance troupe is her team, and of course we are going to be her back dancers. No one can say anything!"

   "This is not the solution you discussed in the afternoon, right?" Xiao Yao smiled, "You two, who came up with the idea?"

   "Whose idea do you care about? Just say what is the idea?" Chen Chen smiled.

"Okay! I support you to join in the fun!" Xiao Yao smiled to Cheng Xi, "Since you have a plan for your future, and it is such a fun idea, don't go to the audition at all! Anyway, Anna is not a female one, you again Not bad for this role!"

   "Huh?" Cheng Xi said dumbfounded.
