Chapter 83: Fitting and Disinfecting Glasses
The next day, Lu woke up very early. When the alarm clock rang, Lu didn't feel anything different until he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, and then Lu woke up from his sleep.
Yeah, from today on, I'll be living with Sebastian.
Ran her fingers through her hair, yawning loudly as she rushed to the kitchen to greet Sebastian with a good morning, then went to wash her face and brush her teeth.
When he tidied up a new suit and looked at the exquisite and beautiful Western-style breakfast on the table, his eyes sparkled. He raised his head to meet Sebastian's sunny smile.
"Sebastian is so lucky to have you, able to eat such a great breakfast every day..."
Sebastian slightly hooked up the corner of his mouth and made a rather gentlemanly gesture, indicating that Lyu could try some of the breakfast he had made.
That melting sensation at the entrance made Rukawa's eyes narrow in happiness. Mmm, Sebastian is really too capable, everything he does is so good.
After having a full meal, Ritsu was about to leave when Nana's phone call came in. Ritsu had forgotten about leaving Nana behind yesterday and was startled by her gloomy and ill-intentioned tone, breaking out in cold sweat. Apologizing repeatedly, Ritsu hastily slung his bag over his shoulder and waved goodbye as he rushed out the door.
Today is a very important day, the audition for the male lead in "Blood and Tears" is scheduled for today.
Lü Yu wanted to leave this world and must obtain this role, he had been preparing for it all along, just for today.
This role, he must get it.
When he arrived at the destination, it was still early. Lu Yi habitually swept his gaze around the room and saw a familiar yet unexpected person.
Kanda Yuzuru?
Just a slight thought and I realized, Shinda should have already debuted, so was he trying out for his own choice, Suzuki Hiro, or his rival, Hanada no Katsura?
No matter which one, it is a troublesome and headache thing for oneself.
It was clear that Kanda Ryota also saw him when he arrived, but he didn't come over to "greet" him. Ritsu let out a slight sigh and shrugged his shoulders, sitting down beside him.
As long as Kamiya lets him "reminisce" with him, he won't have to worry about anything.
The director of "Blood and Tears" is a newcomer who has been making waves in the industry in recent years, although he is already over 30 years old. At this age, he has already received high praise in the directing world, which is considered extremely young.
Being able to achieve this at this age is definitely not ordinary.
Qing Tian Yu Xing arrived very punctually, just right on the dot, while the actors who came in before and after him were asked to leave directly by him in a very impolite manner.
Lv was very interested in watching Qing Tian Yu Xing's actions, although it is said that the rules of this line are that actors cannot offend directors, but there is no director who deliberately makes things difficult for actors.
Whether Qing Tian Yu Xing is being eccentric or simply principled, it's hard to say.
This kind of director generally has a common characteristic, that is, as long as he doesn't catch your eye unintentionally somewhere, no matter what, he won't be in a hurry; but if he accidentally catches a glimpse of something wrong with you, then it's someone who will remember it forever.
Interesting.
It's obvious that the actor's face was a mess of bruises, but Qing Tian Yu Xing didn't even bother to explain, and instead directly called out to the other actors to start immediately.
I already had the staff's number plate in my hand, and I followed the crowd into a bright room with a calm attitude, ready to relax and watch other people's performances.
The reason for this opportunity is that the director and the director's style are different, and the way of auditioning is also different.
Directors like Ida Daishin are fond of doing one take at a time and don't let others see the previous take.
This method has its pros and cons. The advantage is that it can eliminate unfair phenomena, even if there are priorities, the people behind will not know what they have taken; however, this fairness is still one-sided, the people behind have to wait for too long and will feel tired even if they do nothing, which is also a kind of relative unfairness.
Qing Tian Yu Xing, on the other hand, was a completely different assessment method. He found a large enough room and had them pair up in twos to act out scenes together.
The director's lips curled up into a slight smile, this is really interesting.
The grouping was random, when Lv saw a former classmate walking towards him with his head held high but not even giving him a glance, he felt deeply depressed.
How come it's so coincidental, why does he always run into this person wherever he goes —— there's no place to hide.
Rather awkwardly floated up a layer of false smile, Lv completely felt that he had no common language with this former bamboo horse.
Kamiya is even more straightforward, without even a fake smile, directly showing a cold face with no expression, which is quite in line with the feeling of this drama.
Patted his own head to wake himself up, Lv couldn't help but feel speechless towards himself - what era was this, how could he still think that this person had the feeling of this drama? If this guy really snatched his role, he would probably spit out blood. If he got the role of Huatian Zhiji, he would be even more internally injured.
Acting in front of someone who doesn't care about you and holds a grudge against you all day.
After dividing into groups, it was also a coincidence that the number of people was just right, and the chosen roles were also the same number.
However, unlike before, the two people are not just performing for the director, but all their opponents are watching.
Can't help but say that Qing Tian Yu Xing played a good abacus, so the actors, even if it's just to avoid embarrassing themselves in front of their peers or competitors, must have put in a lot of effort to perform well.
Those who can come here for an interview are already among the best, and with this motivation, they will be able to perform even better.
The first group was actually the most tense, because they didn't have any reference objects. Some things that can be understood at a glance when placed side by side are still difficult to think of on their own.
Qing Tian's face had no extra expression, and after letting the two of them look at the topic separately, he indicated to start directly.
No time to prepare? Lv Wei's eyes widened slightly in surprise, then she smiled. It seemed that the two of them were holding different things anyway.
What will happen then?
Rarely showing interest in watching from the side, Shinda let out a faint glance at Ritsu, saying nothing.
As they watched, it seemed that both of them had already realized something was wrong. Although they were supposed to play different roles and their topics were indeed different, why did they end up playing the same role?!
Even though the dialogue of two people is different, but from the content of the two people, it's clear that they are more and more like the same person.
What's going on here?
Lü Wei's eyebrows slightly raised in surprise, this director was indeed out of the ordinary, so what did he mean exactly...
The second group apparently didn't have time to react either.
"Past."
The third group.
"Past."
Others stared in amazement as group after group of people were quickly eliminated, even though those people had tried different methods, such as saying their own lines according to the script, just like two people having a mental battle. No. Still, each person acted on their own, but the dialogue didn't match up.
One group after another was eliminated, and the law turned to look at Kanda Jin, who still had a poker face, without showing any signs of anxiety.
With just a slight smile, Lu felt as if he didn't need to worry anymore.
Finally arrived at Ritsu and Kotomi's place.
With a swipe down, so many people couldn't see the urgency, Qing Tian Yu Xing still had no expression and handed over the topic to the two of them, and that was it.
Ritsu didn't mind, took it and looked through it, then lifted his head along with Kanda.
"Then let's start."
Qing Tian Yu Xing narrowed his eyes and silently watched the two of them, one was Yue who had risen to fame with "Original Sin", and the other was Kanda Ryota who had just debuted but was already highly anticipated by many people. Who knows what kind of sparks would fly when these two collided...
The slender boy suddenly changed the atmosphere, and the originally warm-looking boy now still had the same face, but lost the warmth just now.
The young man's outline was extremely delicate and beautiful, with his slightly raised chin slightly pointed, making the young man look a bit cool.
Although his expression was casual, his eyes were tinged with a hint of ferocity.
He casually leaned his body against the edge of the table, an extremely relaxed movement, yet his whole body emitted a strong "do not approach" aura.
His left and right hands overlapped slowly grinding the sand, but on the delicate face of the young man, there was no childishness that should be at this age, leaving only a faint color.
With a hint of decadence and laziness in the air, not only does it not make people feel disgusted, but also brings an irresistible fatal attraction.
Like a leopard lurking quietly in the dark night, it is low-key but will not lose its color because of this.
Dangerous yet alluring.
Filled with the faintly alluring flavor of poppy seeds.
Qing Tian's eyes sparkled and her eyelids slightly narrowed.
"Hmph." The man who had just spoken up had a masculine tone, he looked like he was smiling warmly and gently, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. If you looked closely, you would find that there were no ripples in his eyes, only a vast emptiness.
The soft laughter made the young man slightly tilt his head to look at him, and the two of them gazed at each other from a short distance, without anyone speaking, yet feeling a tense atmosphere in the air.
The boy on one side had an expressionless face, his jet-black eyes were like a boundless abyss that deeply trapped people.
On the other hand, the young man's smile was bright, but it lacked warmth, his staring eyes revealing a maturity that didn't match his age.
The young man raised an eyebrow, with a hint of slight disdain.
"You can't beat me."
The man's smile on his face was more radiant, but the corners of his mouth were filled with absolute self-confidence.
"You will lose."
These two lines should have been said by Suzuki Hiroshi.
However, unlike the previous groups, Kento Kanda's portrayal of Hanada no Yoshitoshi has a sense of incongruity when saying Suzuki Hiroshi's lines.
Qing Tian smiled and clapped his hands to signal the two to stop, finally someone understood what he meant.
Hanada no Yoshida and Suzuki Hiroshi are the same kind of person.
It doesn't matter about mice and cats, police won't be purely just, and gangs aren't necessarily all dark.
Hanada no Yoshida is a good policeman.
He is indeed a very clever and promising policeman.
But the darkness in his eyes was no less than Suzuki's.
What Qingtian wants is such a role. Black in white, white in black.
It's as simple as that.
——————————————————————————————————————
Lü returned home and just pulled out his key when someone opened the door for him.
Sebastian wore a cartoon apron that clashed with his handsome appearance, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Welcome home."
Back home... Lü Weiwei was slightly dazed for a moment before breaking into a smile.
"Uh, I'm back."
Sebastian watched as Lute closed the door and changed clothes, his smile deepening slightly.
To understand the subtleties of life is to be the best hunter.
With deliberate slowness, he brought the dessert from the kitchen and set it on the table, whereupon Sebastian nodded in satisfaction.
After coming out of the room, Ritsu naturally went to the dining hall, thinking with great satisfaction that as long as Sebastian was there, even if he was busy during the day, just thinking about being able to eat Sebastian's dinner at night would fill him with energy.
Sebastian didn't eat, he just sat down beside Rui with his chin in his hand, smiling as he watched Rui savoring his meal.
"By the way," Lü asked while eating, "Sebastian, when I'm not at home during the day, what do you usually do? Don't you get bored?"
Sebastian smiled faintly and blinked his eyes. "Are you worried about me?"
"Of course, don't you know it's time to confess?"
"It was just watching the movie you were in, tidying up the room, going out to buy ingredients and coming back to make dinner." Sebastian said matter-of-factly, then continued. "Actually, it's quite boring, how about I go with you to work tomorrow?"
Lü Weiwei was taken aback for a moment, but then thought that it wasn't like there was anything wrong with it. It's just that listening to Sebastian's account of his day made it sound really unenthusiastic, and going to work should be more interesting than this.
Anyway, Sebastian is a demon, try it out first to see if he can be with himself, and if not, Sebastian also has a way to make others unable to see him.
So Lü agreed almost without thinking, "Okay, tomorrow morning... by the way, have you bought your clothes?"
Sebastian pointed at the cartoon apron on his body and said with a smile.
"When buying groceries, I went to the mall together and happened to stroll around. Clothes are already available, of course. However, that thing called a credit card you gave me seems to have no money on it."
He was shocked to hear that there was no money in the card, when he had given it to Sebastian with over 9 million yen inside... He thought of a certain possibility and stared at Sebastian with an ominous gaze, asking cautiously.
"Where did you buy your clothes?"
A beautiful face still wore a smiling expression, "a place called Ginza."
As expected. Lv thought it was necessary to teach Sebastian some common sense about life, although now that Lv had a pair of wealthy "parents", he still had the habit of choosing more affordable options when spending money.
Think about it, that piece of clothing is equivalent to eating how many Matsusaka beef, Kobe beef, and natural tuna.
Lü didn't feel at all that her focus was off in any way.
————————————————————————————————————
When Nana saw Sebastian following Ryota down the stairs on the second day, her usual serious face cracked.
I thought Nana was just teasing Sabastian for being too handsome, but instead she glared at Ritsu with an accusatory expression.
"You disappeared last time you went out to play and now you're actually living with a man!"
*slap*
Lü was certain he heard the sound of his own sanity shattering.
The law who didn't want to answer at all was speechless and got on the car, while Sebastian smiled politely and introduced himself to Nana.
"Hello, I am Lut's roommate."
The person with a big smile on his face, who is completely unscathed and calm, is 100% certain.
This guy is absolutely doing it on purpose.
Because of a lazy explanation and adding fuel to the fire, Nana was completely led to some irresistible speculation.
But Sebastian was still smiling like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, completely unaware.
The law is not urgent, turned his head to look at the smiling demon of a certain person, and couldn't help but compare that person with the Malfoy family's golden peacock.
I don't know who would have the upper hand if two people were to clash.
Because it was just a simple MV shoot, the director didn't mind having one more person watching. On the contrary, due to Sebastian's outstanding appearance, the director was very interested in him and tried to persuade him for half a day, but the final result can be imagined.
Sebastian sat on a chair brought by the diligent female staff, staring intently at Lyu who was being photographed.
When he saw the woman leaning on Lutz's shoulder, Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the woman suddenly retreated a bit as if she had been scalded.
The director frowned and asked what was going on. The woman looked puzzled and innocent, she didn't know either.
It snapped again and broke off.
Back and forth, this simple action has been done a dozen times or so.
The actress was about to be yelled at by the director, Lü's eyebrows slightly furrowed as she looked up at Sebastian.
Sebastian was leisurely looking at Lyu, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and brazenly admitted to his "crime".
He couldn't help but be stunned, Lü had long guessed that he wanted to make Sebastian notice a bit, but seeing Sebastian's crimson eyes staring at him fixedly, Lü suddenly couldn't say any words of blame.
Forget it.
Lü found the director and simply said a few words, the director reluctantly nodded in agreement.
This time it went very smoothly, but from start to finish, Lv didn't have any contact with that actress again.
After work ended, Yu and Sebastian got on the car together, then saw Sebastian staring at him steadily.
He rubbed his face in confusion and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Sebastian didn't say anything, he just slowly approached.
Lü Mo's eyes were slightly tense, and he placed his hand on Sebastian's body. "What is it?"
Disinfect.
Nanako got on the car and accidentally found Rut's face turned red in the rearview mirror, so she asked out of concern.
"Are you uncomfortable? The weather has cooled down recently, be careful not to catch a cold."
She turned her head and glared at Sebastian, answering in a calm tone.
"It's nothing."
Fortunately, Nana didn't ask any more questions, and Ritsu let out a silent sigh of relief, while the certain devil next to him put on a smile again with an air of annoyance.
Two days later, the interview results came out.
Ritsu unexpectedly found out that the role of Suzuki Ou was going to be played by himself, and the person he would be acting against... Ritsu rubbed his temples with his hand, feeling like these past few days had been nothing but a hassle.
"Blood Tears" is about to start filming.
