Chapter 1259: Filming (Part 1)

The next day.

The sixth episode of "Heart Shadow Link" was released last night. The seventh episode, which was filmed last week, is in the intensive post-production. Today is the eighth episode, which is also the start date of the last episode of the online game. As soon as Qin Jue walked into the set, he was overwhelmed by an indescribable anxiety and excitement. The busy figures around him looked like students waiting for school to end, and like employees who learned that the company was about to lay off employees.

The makeup artist who put on her makeup was also the same. After the online game part was officially finished, her work on the crew also ended. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy to think that she had received her salary and had a holiday, or whether she should hurry up to find another job to avoid being stuck in a window period.

"Change the scene?" While doing the makeup, Hu Changqie brought the latest news.

"Yes. The original special effects makeup artist had an accident, and the new makeup artist that the producer urgently contacted only had time today and tomorrow." Hu Changqie explained, "So Director Kong moved the twelfth scene to this afternoon."

"I know." Qin Jue replied.

It is common to adjust the filming schedule temporarily. She was not surprised and adapted well.

"Do you want to go over the lines, Brother Qin?" Zhang Ming asked cleverly.

"Come on."

Zhang Ming then flipped open the script, turned to the corresponding scene, and read Jiang Rong's lines.

The two of them talked back and forth, and finished a scene of rivalry while putting on makeup. At the end, Zhang Ming said, "The following is the action description."

"Well, put it down." Qin Jue took the costume and walked to the dressing room just after finishing the makeup.

The script is not like a storyboard. It mainly writes the lines. The specific camera position and action will be arranged by the director on the spot.

The twelfth scene is the content at the end of the eighth episode, that is, "Jingchen" kisses "Rongrong"'s eyelids under the blood cherry tree, and then commits suicide and cancels his account, leaving the online game world.

As usual, Qin Jue stared at the black goat in the full-length mirror, and the breath emanating from his body became heavier little by little, and then changed from heaviness to pretending to be relaxed.

Wu Xingyang's accident at the end of the sixth episode was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Liao Jingchen noticed something was wrong and started to investigate. Soon after, when he learned the truth, his breathing stagnated. He felt that he had been poured cold water from head to toe by someone - Liao Hongjing - and his hands and feet were cold.

I got carried away.

He thought.

Just because Liao Hongjing rarely loosened his mouth and allowed him to participate in the year-end stage play, he complacently thought that he had finally won a brilliant victory in this game between son and father, and threw away what his father had done before and what kind of style of doing things. He started running around without any defense and happily, working diligently in the competition for the male lead of the drama, while being sweet and sweet with Jiang Rong in the online game, conceiving a naive and beautiful picture for himself, grasping both ideals and love.

He should not, never, let down his guard.

The opponent hidden behind the scenes waited for an opportunity, and with a kind smile, he stretched out his hand to the fair competition seesaw, and easily suppressed one of them.

And what was Liao Jingchen doing at that time?

He was dancing with his girl without knowing anything.

The young lion paid the price for its laxity. Liao Jingchen's throat tightened, and his eyes were shrouded by black mist. For a moment, he had the illusion of dizziness.

He looked back at Jiang Rong and felt a strong irony from fate.

How naive and ridiculous he was. He actually thought that he could hide the truth with his beloved girl and usher in a happy ending.

How could this be possible.

With Liao Hongjing around, how could this be possible?

They were so alike, father and son, that Liao Jingchen could completely guess what Liao Hongjing would do after learning about Jiang Rong's existence.

He might refuse to acknowledge this daughter-in-law, and use his usual gentle but dignified words to force Liao Jingchen to break up with Jiang Rong, and then date and marry a suitable-age girl from a suitable family; or, he would accept Jiang Rong for Liao Jingchen's sake, out of love and doting for his youngest son, and then enthusiastically promote her, educate her, and cultivate her into the most perfect and most suitable image in his mind for Liao Jingchen.

But Jiang Rong should not bear this.

She has her independent personality, her goals, and her pursuits. She has no reason to suffer such hardships, being flattened and rounded by Liao Hongjing, losing the part that belongs to Jiang Rong, and being molded into "Liao Jingchen's wife".

There is already a beautiful doll with a "not for sale" label on it, which is placed in the window for people to enjoy. There is no need and should never be another one next to him.

Qin Jue in the dressing room closed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and his forehead was against the mirror through his hair.

There is another thing that you hide deeply in your heart.

- No, don't say it. Liao Jingchen inside her body made a pleading sound.

That is your deepest fear, you dare not even think about it, for fear that it will become a reality.

——Shut up, stop talking! The furious black goat roared weakly.

"Show your cards." Qin Jue said softly, "You are afraid that she will become Chen Yina."

The soul in the body shook twice, and then it slowly dimmed like a light bulb that released its last life.

This is what Qin Jue wrote in the character biography.

When she was doing character analysis before, she always felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing. Later, she was completely immersed in the state and suddenly realized that it turned out that after removing the layers of emotions, what was hidden behind the pain, reluctance, and determination was Liao Jingchen's unspeakable fear.

He believed in Jiang Rong, but he still couldn't help but be afraid that she would change and become a replica that was closer to him, more intimate, and easier to monitor him, and would report his every move, every word of love, and every thought to Liao Hongjing. Chen Yina.

Of course Liao Jingchen had confidence in the girl he loved deeply.

But the fact that "Jiang Rong is equal to Rong Rong" pierced his heart like a boomerang.

He was once so surprised that they were so close, but now he was so panicked that Jiang Rong would be discovered by Liao Hongjing and targeted by him.

Because "Rong Rong" is the only person who has not been arranged by Liao Hongjing to make friends with him and have contact with him.

She is the proof of his personality. With her around, he is not a puppet created by Liao Hongjing, but a living person with self-awareness who belongs to himself and to her.

Liao Jingchen couldn't imagine how broken he would be if his last life-saving straw became the spider thread wrapped around him in Liao Hongjing's hands.

"That man is really scary, isn't he." Qin Jue's voice was as light as a soap bubble that breaks at the touch of a touch.

Liao Jingchen curled up in her eyes, eyes closed and fists clenched.

Yes, Liao Hongjing is a mountain he cannot conquer.

He thought - thought he could win, but the image of Wu Xingyang lying on the hospital bed once brought him back to that nightmare day.

That day, he sat in his father's study and caught a glimpse of the truth that he loved him to the extreme.

Dizziness, headache, tinnitus. The physical pain reflected back to him was like an invisible hand hanging above his head, reminding him that he was just a self-righteous butterfly who thought he could fly as high and far as he could, but in fact he was always stuck preying on him. in the net of the person.

Liao Jingchen could feel the sweat slowly flowing down from his forehead.

It was scary and gave him the creeps.

It seemed that everything Liao Hongjing did was easy, just like he easily sent Wu Xingyang to the hospital. This single move shattered the pure and sacred ideal in Liao Jingchen's heart.

Liao Jingchen was almost out of breath.

For a moment, he even wondered vaguely, could it be Jiang Rong too?

Could it be that Liao Hongjing wrote the script for her meeting him in an online game and falling in love with him?

Liao Jingchen was deeply disgusted by his suspicion and despicability.

The emotional organ faithfully embodied his reaction in Qin Jue's body. She reached out and pressed her stomach, her brows trembling slightly, holding back the discomfort of almost vomiting.

"call……"

For a moment, Qin Jue raised his eyes slightly tiredly, but a smile appeared on his lips.

From an actor's perspective, she truly feels that Liao Jingchen, specifically Liao Jingchen in the drama adaptation of "Shadow Link", is a very interesting character.

This is different from the original work. There are no online games in the original work, but a fantasy subconscious space. Liao Hongjing can't intervene in the "other world" even if he covers the sky with one hand. Therefore, Liao Jingchen and Jiang Rong in the original work deeply believe in each other, and his When Shi chose to leave, he also wanted to protect Jiang Rong from being "contaminated" by his father.

However, in the drama, the existence of online games has changed the details, triggering a butterfly effect. Just imagine, why are Liao Jingchen and Jiang Rong the only ones playing this holographic game in such a big school? Or, you suddenly discovered that your online dating partner went to the same university as you. Can such a coincidence really happen?

Not to mention that before that, Jiang Rong had banged Liao Jingchen at the school dance, and the two danced stiffly together. And going back to an earlier period, Jiang Rong was squatting next to the drama club's warehouse at night to catch thieves, so it happened by chance. Di had personal contact with Liao Jingchen, and the two got to know each other.

Although if you look at it from afar, this is exactly the plot of the awkward and sweet idol drama written by the screenwriter, but if you put everything from Liao Jingchen's perspective in the drama, it would be abnormal for him not to doubt it.

People are selfish, and this suspicion and fear make Liao Jingchen become more plump. At the same time, his choice to leave "Rong Rong" also has more complicated reasons than the original work -

He was protecting Jiang Rong and also protecting himself.

Because he didn’t want Jiang Rong to be controlled by Liao Hongjing, because he was afraid that Jiang Rong would become another Chen Yina, and because he didn’t want to face the possibility that Jiang Rong was really arranged by Liao Hongjing, so,

Liao Jingchen flinched.

To a certain extent, this is more in line with his character in the play, a student in the first half of his junior year, a young man in the standard sense. He is more allowed to be weak than the weather-beaten mature actor in the original work.

The quest chain of [Heart-Searching and God-Searching] in the online game gave Liao Jingchen a sufficient excuse. He was like a glass-hearted player who was unsure of the HE ending and uninstalled the game in order to avoid the Bad Ending. He cowardly chose to escape.

He was afraid that the life-saving straw would change its shape and make him collapse, so he let go of her first and let the quagmire swallow her.

It sounds completely stupid, but people are such fragile creatures, and they would rather give up safety* for a sense of security.

Qin absolutely smiled at "Jingchen" in the mirror, turned around and walked out of the dressing room.

Her own ideas are completely different from those of the child Liao Jingchen, but this does not prevent her from finding him interesting.

Actors always like complex roles that can reveal something, and Qin Jue is no exception.

Taking a deep breath, she completely shifted the status coordinate axis from plus 1 to minus 1, completely immersing herself in the role of "Jingchen"/Liao Jingchen.

The shooting in the morning went very smoothly. It was as if the progress bar of episode 8 could be seen moving forward visibly. At this speed, if nothing unexpected happens, Qin Jue may be able to finish filming ahead of schedule this week.

During the lunch break, Tang Nuo, who had finished the notice in another place, rushed back to the crew. A rabbit train rushed towards Qin Jue's lounge from a long distance. Qin Jue, who heard the footsteps in advance, opened the door at the right time when it was about to hit the door, so he rushed into the destination without any hindrance.

Qin Jue, who was hit hard, did not move at all. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Tang Nuo's head hard, and then rubbed her soft face.

"Woo...!!" The rabbit train turned into a rabbit dough.

"Did you eat on the way here?" Qin Jue asked very skillfully.

"Let's eat!" Tang Nuo raised her head proudly (his face was pinched again), "Today's lunch is a small hot pot!"

Qin Jue was surprised: "It's actually a staple food?"

"Yeah." Tang Nuo nodded and touched her flat stomach, "So the stomach is still empty for snacks!"

Qin Jue flicked her head with amusement:

"You use this trick again."

After saying that, he looked at his assistant Zhao Wenwen and smiled, "Don't spoil her too much."

Zhao Wenwen responded with a smile, and the agent on the side rolled his eyes secretly, thinking who is spoiling you, don't you know it in your heart.

"Well, Nuo Nuo, it's time to put on makeup." Let Tang Nuo stick to Qin Jue for a while, and the agent reminded him.

"Okay." Tang Nuo reluctantly left Qin Jue's lounge, and before leaving, she poked half of her rabbit head out from the door, blinking her eyes before completely shrinking back.

Qin Jue looked in the direction she left, his eyes full of smiles. Looking closely, his eyes were soaked with sad tenderness, with indescribable satisfaction and joy of relief.

"Brother Qin?"

Qin Jue came back to his senses, put away his nostalgic gaze, turned his head and smiled at Zhang Ming.

"You have grown up healthy and well." She suddenly sighed.

Zhang Ming scratched his head, not realizing the hidden nostalgia in Qin Jue's words, and just said stupidly: "Yeah, yes."

Qin Jue's eyes fell on the necklace on his neck, smiled, said nothing, returned to his seat to read the script, and closed his eyes from time to time.

Tang Nuo's special effects makeup didn't take too long. Soon a crew member came to knock on the door to remind him that filming would resume in half an hour. Qin Jue then got up to tidy up his costume, asked the makeup artist to check his makeup, and soon walked to the performance area.

A few minutes later, his fast but not chaotic steps suddenly stopped.

For the first time in his life, Qin Jue hated his excellent eyesight.

"Teacher Qin. Teacher Qin?"

At this moment, the voices of others calling out seemed to come from a very far place, and they were hazy and unclear. Qin Jue stood there like a sculpture, his fingertips hanging on the side of his legs trembling, his out-of-focus pupils trembling, his lips losing color in a short moment, and his face turned pale.

"How could it be..."

The huge despair seized her soul, tearing her internal organs and bleeding without explanation. The unbelievable question was compressed into a whisper between her teeth, and together with the person who spoke, it was so fragile that it seemed that a slight touch would be enough to smash it to pieces.

Qin Jue took steps like a zombie, walking towards Tang Nuo not far away, towards the petite corpse with blood on its face.

With every step closer, the smell of rust in his nose became stronger.

The piercing buzzing sound was like a sharp and straight needle passing through one ear and out of the other ear, piercing the entire head.

Qin Jue knelt down with a "thump".
