Live Like You [Entertainment]

For a month in a row, there were discussions on the Internet about Xu Tianyan and Xu Shen's return to the rivers and lakes.

"Xu Shen returns, ordinary people kneel down and worship!"

"What year is this year? Even Xu Shen has returned to China after Film Emperor He returned to China. Could it be that the domestic entertainment circle is going to reshuffle again?"

"This is a good thing. It's time to let those flamboyant youngsters such as Y stand aside a long time ago!"

"Who are you talking about? This is, I think you Xu Shenhe actor also came from the traffic niche back then, okay?"

"The upstairs is less sour. Back then, the traffic niche had to have good looks and acting skills to bring traffic, it's not like now, just rely on a face to make a living, but that face is still fake, one a year It's changed in three years!"

No matter what the uproar on the Internet turned out to be, the mainstream opinion still tended to look forward to Xu Tianyan's comeback.

"I heard that Xu Shen said in the interview that he is already shooting a suspense film, will he hit the schedule with us?"

"Even if the schedule hits, it's okay, they shoot theirs, we shoot ours, you have some confidence in us, okay?"

"That person is Xu Shen after all, it's different, and our progress..."

Zhou Wen would like to listen to the two crew members chatting and passing by. What was being discussed in the conversation was exactly what Xu Tianyan said was already preparing to shoot a suspenseful police film.Time has entered October, which is the most suitable time of the year in City A, and the ginkgo trees are all over the city. However, the progress of "Looking for the Murder in Your Mind" makes people a little anxious.Generally, the shooting progress of this kind of online drama is very fast. Due to the small number of episodes, one can be completed in one or two months. It's not that I'm not used to the domestic shooting method, or I haven't directed this type of film in the past. In short, the shooting progress is very slow, and there are repetitions from time to time.

This crew is newly assembled. Although Zhang Qiu is well-known, after all, he is abroad and belongs to a niche field. When it comes to the big domestic market, it is reasonable to be out of touch for a while. The problem is that time is money.One day of work is one day’s money, not to mention that the schedules of many artists and even staff are densely arranged. Zhou Wenjin doesn’t have so many announcements at hand, so he still has plenty of time, but seeing He Xizhang burn so much money every day I feel so distressed, but Zhang Qiu always takes his time and has a good attitude, and He Xizhang actually let him go.

"Brother Wen Jin, we're ready to shoot." Xia Yingjie came over and called Zhou Wenjin over. Zhou Wenjin found that Xia Yingjie's condition seemed to be better these days, and he didn't know what happened, so he laughed from time to time.When he laughed, he looked very childish, like a big boy who hadn't grown up, with a soft meaning, but as long as Zhou Wenjin thought about why Xia Yingjie was so happy, he would be a little bit sweet, especially when he heard Shao Honest gossip said that recently Zhang Quan was always late and left early, and from time to time he still put dog skin plasters on his waist, wondering if it was when he found a lover.

Hmm... some things are better known less.

Zhou Wenjin walked over and saw Bai Tan talking to Zhang Qiu. He was wearing a high-waisted jacket, a pair of jeans, and a pair of high-top boots. He looked cool.His character, Zhao Yang, is a criminal policeman who doesn't follow the usual path. He is a thorn in the eyes of the leader, but it is precisely because of this kind of envious and unconstrained character that he refuses to let go of his insistence that he can accept Zuo Jianqing's "" Find the murderer in your mind", cracked one case after another, and gradually discovered that all the cases are a circle.

When Zhou Wenjin walked over, he saw Bai Tan frowning, and he didn't know what kind of problem he had encountered.

The staff asked everyone to take their seats, so Zhou Wenjin walked over. This scene was a three-person play between Zhou Wenjin, Bai Tan and He Xizhang. It was about a series of serial murders in a certain city. All the dead were young women, and all the dead were unified. His death state is neatly dressed, one eye has been gouged out, and he is nowhere to be found. Zuo Jianqing, played by Zhou Wenjin, and Zhao Yang, played by Bai Tan, are discussing the characteristics of the murderer's psychological profile reflected in the state of the dead. At this moment, Zhao Yang Suddenly it was discovered that the teacher Meng Xun played by He Xizhang seemed to match the psychological profile of the murderer, so he fell into a state of tension, and was later resolved by Meng Xun, leading to the existence of a killer.

This scene can be regarded as a turning point in the plot. From this turning point, Zhao Yang began to become suspicious of Meng Xun, and Meng Xun also gradually changed his attitude towards Zuo Jianqing.This is a blindfold set up by Bai Xin. If the audience follows her rhythm, they will fall into a kind of ambivalence. On the one hand, they feel that Meng Xun seems to have strange feelings for Zuo Jianqing and treat him very well. From all the signs, he began to suspect whether Meng Xun was the murderer behind the scenes, and whether he approached Zuo Jianqing with other purposes.Of course, at the last moment, it will be revealed that Meng Xun is not a bad person, but has gone through untold hardships to protect Zuo Jianqing, but at this stage, the screenwriter's suspicions are still weaving.

The filming location of this play is in a studio, which is decorated as the basement of an office building. In the dark and cramped environment, a young and beautiful woman is lying flat on the door panel specially erected by the murderer. She is wearing a beautiful dress, Her pale face was painted with exquisite makeup, her hands were folded on her chest, and she looked calm and peaceful. However, it was terrifying that one of her eyes had been gouged out, leaving only a bloody hole , there is still a blooming rose inserted in the hole, while the other eye is helplessly opened, revealing the already cloudy glass sphere.

When the filming started, Bai Tan chose to stand closest to the corpse, Zhou Wenjin stood a little away, about one step away, and He Xizhang stood in the shadow on one side, like a shadow.

Bai Tan stared at the corpse for a long time, then suddenly kicked the iron cabinet next to it hard, making a loud "bang".Of course, because this place is a studio, it will not form a strong echo like a real building. At that time, this sound effect will be added by a foley artist.

[Zhao Yang] Angrily: Damn, it's one step too late!

Zhou Wenjin took a step forward, looked at the face of the actress who played the corpse, and watched, he suddenly closed his eyes and shook them, and when he opened them again, he changed from a limp otaku to a A person with a sudden change in temperament.Zhou Wenjin's eyes became firm and indifferent, with a sense of religion inexplicably.This kind of religious feeling is different from Mingguang's religious feeling. Mingguang's temperament is close to compassion, but Zuo Jianqing's temperament is very pure, so pure that it almost has a kind of childlike innocence and "has" evil.

[Zuo Jianqing] read in a low voice: Bloody soul, swallow the fruits of the pain your body has suffered, and let it guide you to where you should go.

After Zhou Wenjin finished reading, he made a gesture above the actress, and then closed her eyes.The actress's ferocious facial expression changed into a serene expression following his movements.

What Zhou Wenjin was doing at this time was the iconic action of a certain classic character in Zuo Jianqing's pen. If someone who didn't know the real situation looked at Zuo Jianqing's action, he would probably come to the conclusion that Zuo Jianqing was a middle school student. If you watch the plot, you will find that Zuo Jianqing did not imitate the exaggerated movements of his characters, on the contrary, he created this signature movement of his characters based on his unconscious movements, and this movement is actually lost with Zuo Jianqing. Childhood memories are closely related.

[Zhao Yang]: What are you doing?

[Zuo Jianqing]: Ah...uh, what did I do?

Zhou Wenjin showed a bewildered expression. At this time, he turned into that soft-looking otaku manga artist again, looking at the dead with sympathy in his eyes.Bai Tan muttered something, took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, shook them vigorously, put them on, and resignedly began to examine the actress' "body".

[Zhao Yang]: There are traces of injection in the veins of the hand. The cause of death is presumed to be poison. The clothes and shoes should be changed passively after the deceased was controlled. The button of the bra is wrongly buttoned. Damn it, even the make-up is done by this freak yes.Damn it!Did he manipulate these girls as puppets? They are real people!

Zhou Wenjin looked down, and suddenly seemed to notice something. He took off his clothes and wrapped them in his hands, bent down, and picked up something from under the door panel.

[Zuo Jianqing]: Xu...Xiaolu?

[Zhao Yang]: The murderer is getting bolder every time. I bet, he is getting more and more crazy!

[Zhao Yang]: What?

[Zuo Jianqing] Raised his hand: ID card.

[Zhao Yang]: Wait, wait, wait!Did you pick it up?You, you, don't touch it with your hands, put it down, put it down quickly!

[Zuo Jianqing]: I wrapped it in clothes.

Bai Tan took it, eyes full of excitement.

[Zhao Yang]: Hey, this pervert finally showed his feet!

The other camera was facing He Xizhang. He stood in the shadow over there, looking at the scene in front of him with a serious expression, especially when Bai Tan said that the murderer finally showed his feet, He Xizhang could be seen slightly He frowned, obviously disagreeing with this cognition.

[Zuo Jianqing]: It may not be a lie, knowing the identity of the deceased does not mean anything.

[Zhao Yang]: Just hit me, you know, this is the first time that pervert left the deceased's personal belongings at the scene. our energy.

[Meng Xun]: What does Team Zhao mean?

Bai Tan looked back at He Xizhang.

[Zhao Yang]: Oh, I'll go, why is this buddy here?

Zhou Wenjin shyly and embarrassingly pushed his signature black-framed glasses.

[Zuo Jianqing]: He...he was with me just now.

[Zhao Yang]: Huh?What are you two doing together!

Zhou Wenjin blushed a little, and replied in a very low voice.

[Zuo Jianqing] Lower your head: No, nothing, just eat, eat.

Bai Tan let out an "oh" with a carefree look, as if he didn't notice the undercurrent between the two of them.

[Zhao Yang]: Mr. Meng, you don’t understand this. In our police school, there is a homework called psychological profiling, which is to infer the murderer’s personality and even appearance based on the clues at the murder scene. We “portrait” the murderer. , which is also helpful in preventing his next crime.

[Meng Xun]: So what did Team Zhao discover now?

[Zhao Yang]: The murderer has always had a sense of ritual in the process of committing the crime, such as gouging out the eyes, uniform clothing, makeup for the deceased, etc. The eyes are the place where people see things. After reading novels, I feel that the images recorded by the eyes of the dead are not good, so I will artificially destroy the eyes of the dead...

[Meng Xun]: Reasonable, but why did the murderer destroy only one?

[Zhao Yang]: There must be a reason for this, but we don't know it yet.This kind of obviously symbolic behavior can be considered as the personal mark of the serial murderer, just like a dog urinating to enclose a territory. The perverted murderer always regards killing as a stage, and he does it to these poor girls on this stage. Everything is his capital to show off... I speculate that the murderer should be a handsome young man, no more than 35 years old, highly educated, with a stable job, a car, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Women have special concerns. Gouging out women's eyes has the psychological characteristics of humiliating the dead. I guess he had a bad relationship with his mother in childhood, and he has obstacles in socializing with women when he grows up. Look at this wrong bra button, Explain that he has no experience in intimate relations with women.

[Zhao Yang]: On the surface, this man should be quite likable. The dead are all young and beautiful. Their uniform dress means that they decided to dress according to the man's preferences, which shows that this man has a strong persuasive power. and affinity.He does things impeccably, but this time he missed an ID card. Either he encountered some unexpected incident in his life that caused his mental state to change, or he encountered something during the ceremony and it was too late to clean it up. , For example, halfway through the ceremony, it was interrupted... interrupted...

Bai Tan looked at He Xizhang with doubts, but He Xizhang still took his time.

[Meng Xun]: Captain Zhao has an excellent opinion.

Bai Tan pulled Zhou Wenjin behind him.

[Zuo Jianqing]: What's wrong?

[Zhao Yang] Ask in a low voice: Did you eat with him around here just now?

[Zuo Jianqing]: ...um, um.

[Zhao Yang]: He has been by your side?

[Zuo Jianqing]: Hmm... ah, he seems to have gone out and made a phone call.

【Zhao Yang】: When?

[Zuo Jianqing] Just when you called me to say that you found a clue about a new victim...

[Zhao Yang]: ...

Zhang Qiu: "Card!"

All three of them stopped and looked at Zhang Qiu.

Zhang Qiu: "Zhao Yang's state is not right."

Bai Tan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "I'm sorry." Then he said, "Director, what's wrong with me?"

But Zhang Qiu said, "It's not right anywhere."

This is hard to hear, especially for Bai Tan, although he is far from being a top-notch actor, he has been praised for his good acting skills in limited works.

Bai Tan: "I'm sorry Director Zhang, can you give me some pointers?"

But Zhang Qiu put the script down and stood up: "You have to think for yourself, rest for a while." After saying that, he left.

Bai Tan: "..."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little stiff, because it looked so much like Bai Tan that Zhang Qiu was so angry that he didn't want to take pictures anymore.

Zhou Wenjin wanted to comfort Bai Tan, and said, "It's okay, everyone will be in a bad state, just adjust."

Bai Tan frowned and said, "You also think my state is wrong?"

Zhou Wenjin: "No, it's just that everyone has a different understanding of characters." Zhou Wenjin will also self-substitute other roles to help him perform his own role better. He feels that Bai Tan's Zhao Yang is a bit too... aggressive and foreign. let go.Zhou Wenjin said, "Why don't you try to collect a little bit to see if Director Zhang means that?"

Bai Tan sighed: "Well, I'm probably not used to director Zhang's way of working abroad. I only say what's wrong, but don't tell you what's right." Every director has a different style, and some directors know how to do it themselves. Acting for the actors, Zhang Qiu's style is to put things away and let you think about it.

Bai Tan shook his head: "Forget it, let me think about it."
