Chapter 1148 "The Shadow Man" (Part 1)
The cover of the magazine uses the second version of the poster for "Day Rain" when it premiered at the Venazzola International Film Festival. A close-up of Mawson's face takes up two-thirds of the page. He looks directly into the camera with a sinister gaze. The solemn, outstretched right hand seemed to break through the page. The yellow and black warning lines and the bright pink border like paint served as partitions, respectively separating Tian Gang who looked guilty and evasive, Qiu Xue who looked panicked, and Qiu Xue who looked sad. Wang Dali divided the paintings into large and small pictures.
The general title of the magazine "Cinemaphile" is erected on the left side. The two lines of the title are appropriately integrated into the warning line. It is both harmonious and has a sense of presence, which can be seen at a glance.
"Daytime Rain"
"Qin Jue: Standing Out from the Audition"
The efficiency is good.
Qin Jue was thoughtful.
She remembered that the press conference of "Daytime Rain" was only a week away. The reporter named Fang Tianhang needed time to write and revise the article. The review, printing, logistics and transportation of the magazine itself also took a long time. Going through the process, I didn’t expect the physical issue of “Cinemaphile” to come out so quickly.
After flipping through the inner pages, Qin Jue understood. It turns out that this is a special advance issue, and the content is exactly the same as the electronic version released online. However, it has additional collection value due to its scarcity and the bonus of a signature.
Being able to see it for the first time on the set of "Shadow Link" is probably a way for the show to show goodwill to the main actors.
This not only demonstrates the crew's importance and support for the actors, but also facilitates social connection between actors. Apart from anything else, if Luo Ling came to visit today, he could start a chat about Qin Jue's new magazine. And if Qin Jue wanted to make friends, he could also sign and donate the magazine to Luo Ling. It was a pretty good deal. This is how the human relationship came to be.
"Yeah, Teacher Qin has a new magazine, can we take a look?"
Whatever comes to mind, the lively and talkative makeup artist in the group starts the conversation with a smile.
Qin Jue nodded: "Strictly speaking, it is the property of the crew, you can do whatever you want."
After a few unnecessary small talk, she sat in front of the makeup mirror and started a new day of shooting from the makeup section.
…
"Qin Jue: Standing Out from the Audition"
Who is Qin Jue? Why did He Xu choose him? ——Similar questions emerged one after another after the cast lineup of "Rain of the Day" was announced. Although Qin Jue confirmed to the public He Xu's vision for choosing the leading actor in the movie with a "Pearl of the Sea" trophy, but regardless of the results, Qin Jue The details of what won He Xu's favor and successfully played the role of Mo Sen are still unknown.
Focus on this report to reveal to you how Qin Jue "reached the sky in one step".
【accidental? inevitable? Along the way, every step is foreshadowing]
Qin Jue made his official debut through the movie "The Cage" at the end of last year. At that time, he was still an unknown actor.
Nineteen years old, non-major, new to the industry, no contract signed. From this point of view, it seems that his only advantage is that he is still young and has cultivable potential and development possibilities.
——However, is this really the case?
"Qin Jue is my ideal 'Young Chi Na'." "The Cage" director Jiang Shuming once said, "His amazing action scenes are enough to make up for or even cover his shortcomings in other acting skills in this movie. I I think Qin Jue is an actor worth exploring.”
Facts have proved that what Jiang Shuming said is true. At the 73rd Golden Plum Awards Ceremony, "The Cage" won five awards in a row, and the fledgling Qin Jue also won the "Best Action Design Award" for this film, which shows his level of control over action scenes. .
Later, the "Jingyan Zhongying" Review and Exhibition Hall announced the score of "The Cage". In the "Special Thanks" column jointly recommended by the creative team and the review hall, Qin Jue's name was clearly listed.
"The 'Young Chi Na' played by Qin Jue had a huge impact on the early creation of the character 'Chi Na'. His superb interpretation greatly reduced the space required to establish the role of Chi Na, allowing me to Using a wider space to describe Chi Na’s experience and transformation as an adult is crucial to the plot rhythm of the entire film,” said Jiang Shuming, director of “The Cage”.
"I think Qin Jue supported at least 30% of the box office of "The Cage"." From Venus film critic Fang Muquan.
As we all know, Jiang Shuming studied at Beijing Communication University for both his bachelor's and master's degrees. He is one of the luckier ones among many new directors. He studied under He Xu before he graduated. A few years later, He Xu, who had already announced his retirement from acting and devoted himself to teaching, came back to work and recruited actors for his new film "Rain in the Day" (the specific information was still confidential at the time). After screening at all levels, Jiang Shuming heard that the male protagonist was good at action scenes. At the request of He Xu, on the one hand, he shared the teacher's worries, and on the other hand, he was delighted to see Xie Xin, and recommended Qin Jue, a young actor he discovered by chance, to He Xu.
This is how Qin Jue got her audition spot for "Daytime Rain".
【Opportunity awaits those who are prepared】
…
Luo Ling turned the page. Although there was no obvious change in expression on his face due to the makeup and habitual expression control, he was frankly surprised in his heart.
What occupies this page is not the words of reporter Fang Tianhang, but densely packed pictures.
Some backgrounds are on the set. Qin Jue is either sitting cross-legged on the ground in a corner, with headphones in his ears and a notebook on his knees, immersed in reading; or he is standing slightly in front of the crowd, listening to Jiang Shuming curling up. What does the script say?
Some of the backgrounds are in private study rooms. In frontal shots, Qin Jue is either reading books, writing at his desk, or talking with a smile while holding a thermos cup.
All pictures are clearly arranged in timeline, and each or every few pictures have corresponding annotations:
"Qin Jue worked as a handyman on the set of "The Cage" while learning from Jiang Shuming"
"Qin Jue reads the original work of "Daytime Rain" (the cover is specially wrapped in a book cover, and the information is not exposed)"
"The whole process of Qin Jue's gradual weight loss"
"The whole process of Qin Jue's skin turning sickly pale"
In addition to brief annotations, there are also explanatory subtitles:
"Live response barrage [But you are not very white now]: 'Yes, so I don't plan to go out before the audition. Sunscreen is so painful Annoying, ultraviolet rays, stay at home and reduce 100% instantly. '”
"Live response to barrage [You are too much of a homebody, order takeout for all three meals? ]: 'No, I have been dieting for a long time, one meal a day of vegetable salad. '”
"Live response to barrage [Your weight loss effect is too good! ]: 'Because I don't sleep much, otherwise it's hard to lose muscle. '”
The picture-based manuscript takes a different approach. Compared with the report, it is almost like some paparazzi's "explosive melon strips". The overall information is dense, but it is extremely clear. You can understand what the narrator is expressing at a glance.
"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared..." Luo Ling looked back at the sub-title and silently repeated this sentence in his heart.
After looking at the large number of photos below and then reading this line again, his mood became more complicated.
First of all, admiration.
Of course, anyone who is not blind can see how much effort Qin Jue has made for Mossen in "Daytime Rain". At that time, it was even just an audition. Before the official shooting started, she had already gone all out, studying performance and analyzing roles internally, changing her appearance and weight externally, and throwing herself into it. Her figure was steady and firm, shining brightly.
The second is shame.
It has been a few years since Luo Ling transformed from an idol to an actor. He has also prepared for the role, but not like Qin Jue. Instead, he tried to figure out the needs of the producer and speculate on the director's preferences. He worked hard and tried hard to please people, so that those who control the film and television resources and the real power of the crew and the set like his cooperative attitude, affirm the commercial value he represents, and then... give him the male lead.
The path is completely different.
Luo Ling couldn't help but diverge his thoughts under the interweaving and impact of two emotions. He didn't dare to say that what he did was definitely wrong. Everyone has their own ways and channels to achieve their ideals. Judging right and wrong based on their own positions is often too subjective and meaningless.
However, Luo Ling did clearly understand one thing, that is, Qin Jue's efforts seemed much happier than his efforts.
It's hard to say who is more tired than who, but it's obvious who is happier than who.
So the third emotion appeared, and Luo Ling couldn't help but fall into philosophical thinking. He couldn't help but think about whether "what kind of cause leads to what kind of result". Qin Jue worked hard for the work and the role, so she became a conscientious and powerful actor with real materials. The "Hai Mingzhu" actor is the most powerful evidence and the most solid praise.
On the contrary, I was born in business, wandered in business, served business, and finally... my ideal became illusory. It started with money, traffic and interests, and ended with money, traffic and interests. What flowed through my hands were only the numbers on the illusory bank cards, and the unified rhetoric praise on the Internet that couldn't tell who was who. Even if I tried hard to grab it, I couldn't catch any substantial, weighty, weighty, and fulfilling gains.
"Ling Ling, Ling Ling?"
The gentle voice of the makeup artist brought Luo Ling back to his senses. He almost shuddered, but then he controlled his instinctive reaction, smiled skillfully, and looked up with a pair of innocent and pitiful puppy eyes.
"Sorry, I was distracted just now." He explained softly.
"It's okay." The makeup artist had been with Luo Ling's team since early in the morning, and looked at him as if he were his own son, "Okay, raise your head a little, um, yeah, good boy..."
If he had to raise his head, it would be inconvenient to continue reading the report about Qin Jue in "The Film Lover". "Luo Ling" has always been elegant, and the action of holding the magazine in front of him was too childish and rude. He couldn't do it and shouldn't do it.
Luo Ling then let his mind go, pretending to be a rag doll as always, soft and fluffy, allowing others to dress him up, allowing others to take out the cotton inside him at any time, replace it with a new core, and then sew it back, and then pretend that he was born like that.
He suddenly felt a little tired.
It's broken, there is a big problem with education. Luo Ling subconsciously teased himself that children cannot eat candy. After tasting the sweetness, how can he be willing to suffer?
The face of the person who gave him candy suddenly appeared in his mind.
Along with her changing expressions, eyes, and words.
"Sensitivity to the sense of substitution"...
Line after line of words appeared in front of Luo Ling, some of which were Qin Jue's words, and some were handwriting on the notebook.
The steady breathing of self-abandonment was slightly disturbed at this time.
Luo Ling's eyes fell on the tiles of the ceiling, and an unknown storm blew in his mind. Yes, Teacher Qin was right. He thought, I obviously have so many life materials, and they are obviously useful.
Gradually, the broken jar in Luo Ling's heart was automatically taped with a few pieces of tape, and along with his broken mood, it recovered at an astonishing speed, full of warm vitality.
Tired, irritable, bound, sad, want to smile bitterly, want to go crazy, have no strength, want to escape, but instinctively dependent, passively enjoy, secretly happy, self-loathing.
A series of keywords floated in Luo Ling's mind along with his real-time mental state. He faced them, read them, and then tasted, analyzed, and accepted them.
He began to use a broken jar to hold stars.
3400+, 5.22 and 5.23 updates combined into one. Well, the word count is less than 4k, I will make up for it tomorrow, mainly because I like the current chapter.
