Chapter 111 Becoming an Idol Again
Xiao Yi gradually gained a firm foothold in modern life, but fate often took unexpected turns. One day, he was walking down a bustling street as usual, his distinguished demeanor and classic features standing out even among the crowd. A sharp-eyed scout was instantly captivated by him, as if he had discovered a rare treasure. Excited, he quickly stepped forward and blocked Xiao Yi's path.
"Hello, sir! I'm a scout. Your temperament and image are simply outstanding. You are very suitable for entering the entertainment industry. Are you interested in becoming a star?" The scout's eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.
Xiao Yi was bewildered. Modern terms like "scout" and "star" were completely unfamiliar to him. After the scout's rambling, gesticulating explanation, Xiao Yi finally grasped his intentions. A thought struck him: Becoming a star, standing in the spotlight, might expose him to more people, greatly increasing his chances of finding Li Lingyuan. With this thought, he nodded slightly and accepted the scout's invitation.
After entering the entertainment industry, Xiao Yi's innate classical temperament and unique charm quickly attracted the attention of numerous directors and producers. Soon, he landed his first role in a costume drama. As he donned the exquisite period costume, a long-lost sense of familiarity washed over him. Gently caressing the fabric, his thoughts drifted back to the ancient imperial courts of a thousand years ago.
On set, Xiao Yi's performance was nothing short of stunning. He didn't need to force his acting; his experiences in the ancient imperial court were ingrained in him, and his every gesture exuded the grace and elegance of an ancient aristocrat. During a scene depicting court etiquette, he stood tall and straight, his steps steady, his gestures precise and natural, his eyes revealing a perfect balance of dignity and humility. The director and crew were astonished, as if they were witnessing a true aristocrat transported from ancient times.
When acting opposite other actors, Xiao Yi also displayed a high level of professionalism. In an emotional scene, his eyes were filled with affection, and his lines were delivered naturally, fluently, and powerfully, bringing out the character's inner emotions to the fullest. He also drew his co-stars into the story, making the entire filming process exceptionally smooth. The director, watching Xiao Yi's performance from behind the monitor, nodded in satisfaction and praised him, saying, "Xiao Yi is a natural-born actor for period dramas. His understanding and grasp of the role are so precise, it's as if he's truly experienced life in those ancient times."
As filming progressed, Xiao Yi gradually adapted to his role as an actor and the pace of filming. However, every time he donned period costume, his longing for Li Lingyuan deepened. While filming a palace banquet scene, he found himself amidst a beautifully decorated set, surrounded by actors in period costume, laughing and chatting, clinking glasses. This familiar scene reminded him of dancing with Li Lingyuan at a palace banquet. Back then, she was adorned with gorgeous attire, her smile radiant, like the brightest star in the night sky. But now, alone on this modern set, he desperately searched for her.
During breaks from filming, Xiao Yi never forgot to search for Li Lingyuan. He leveraged his established connections and fame in the entertainment industry to inquire about Li Lingyuan. He shared his story with the crew, co-stars, and media reporters, hoping to gain some clues. Touched by his deep compassion, many people offered their help, helping him spread the word on social media to expand his search.
Once, during an interview on an entertainment program, the host asked curiously, "Xiao Yi, you have done so well in the entertainment industry, why are you still looking for someone?" Xiao Yi's eyes became gentle and firm, and he said affectionately to the camera, "Li Lingyuan is the most important person in my life. No matter what situation I am in, I must find her. Even after a thousand years, my love for her has never changed." After his words were spread through television and the Internet, they attracted the attention and heated discussions of many viewers. Many people were moved by his love that spanned a thousand years and became his supporters in finding Li Lingyuan.
As his acting career flourished, Xiao Yi constantly worked to improve his skills and knowledge. He sought guidance from experienced acting teachers, learning how to best portray different types of characters. He also read extensively, enriching his inner world and gaining a deeper understanding of the characters' emotions and motivations. He knew that only by becoming a better actor would he have a better chance of finding Li Lingyuan in this vast world.
With the release of the period drama he starred in, Xiao Yi quickly rose to fame, becoming a highly anticipated star in the entertainment industry. His fan base continued to climb, and he was enthusiastically surrounded by fans wherever he went. However, behind this prosperity, Xiao Yi always had a void in his heart, a place that only Li Lingyuan could fill. He would unconsciously search for that familiar figure in every lively occasion, and he would look forward to hearing Li Lingyuan's voice amidst the cheers of fans.
At a grand awards ceremony, Xiao Yi walked the red carpet as a top contender. He was handsome in a gorgeous custom-made tuxedo, yet a hint of sadness lingered in his eyes. As he stood on the stage, clutching the trophy, he felt a mixture of emotions. He thanked everyone who supported him, but the one he most wanted to thank was Li Lingyuan, whom he had yet to find. He silently said to himself, "Lingyuan, all this glory is meaningless without you by my side. I will continue to search for you until the day we meet again."
