soul collector

Tang Xiu expressed his amazement at Jiang Qiao's miraculous brain circuit. After living for 1 years, there are very few creatures that can make him feel sincerely.He was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Director, sometimes I feel a little confused."

"Huh?" Jiang Qiao switched the phone from one hand to another, "What are you confused about?"

Tang Xiu paused, "You said that you have always been single. Is it because you have never liked anyone, or have you chased away everyone you liked?"

There was an awkward and shameful silence on the other end of the phone.

Tang Xiu sighed, "Maybe it's the artist's romance that I don't understand."

"..."

The phone hangs up.

Listening to the beeping busy tone, Tang Xiu couldn't stop laughing. Jiang Qiao is quite cute, awkward but not annoying.He raised his head and accidentally glanced at the mirror on the table next to him. In the mirror, there was a relaxed and joyful smile on the corners of his eyes and brows. In Ye Zhiheng's words, it was the kind of expression that rarely appeared on his face before.

There was a very slight rustling sound behind him, and the Jihun Banner became restless again.

Tang Xiu patted it, "My friend, be more reserved."

The soul-collecting pennant paused for a moment, trembled in the master's hand, and fell silent.

The door was knocked suddenly, with a polite and restrained rhythm, it should not be Jiang Qiao.Tang Xiu glanced at his phone, it was past twelve o'clock, who would come so late?

Chen Bing was standing at the door wearing home clothes, exuding a harmless aura from head to toe.This is a very gentle man, giving people the feeling that he is safe, without any aggressiveness.Li Ziping mentioned that Chen Bing has a lot of selling points. He is an innocent uncle in his 30s and has no scandals. He is diligent and low-key.

"Senior looking for me?" Tang Xiu let people in, and when he closed the door, he saw the half-hidden door of Jiang Qiao's room flashing.

Chen Bing hummed, and stood by the wall somewhat restrainedly, keeping a distance from Tang Xiu's bed as much as possible.He held an insulated water bottle in his hand, "This is hot milk. It's your first time joining the film crew. The dormitory conditions are average. If you can't sleep well, you can drink some."

Tang Xiu was a little surprised, and took it over to say thank you.Chen Bing said again, "The cup is newly opened, you can keep it for use."

"Senior is so considerate." Tang Xiu smiled and pulled the stool, "Sit down, don't just stand."

Chen Bing sat down a little awkwardly, "I hope you don't feel abrupt, but I came here because I have something to ask you."

Tang Xiu was even more surprised when an actor who had been in the industry for more than ten years asked the newcomer for advice.Chen Bing paused, and said, "Actually, I want to ask you, have you taken any acting classes before?"

"Acting class?"

"Yes." Chen Bing smiled a little embarrassedly, "I know you are not from a major, but I watched your audition video for "Zhanhutai" on Weibo many times. In fact, when you performed, the corner of Director Jiang's mouth It has risen slightly many times. His eyes have always been vicious, and I also think your performance is really vivid."

"I have been filming for more than ten years, and I have tried various types of roles. Now the style of the play is stable, but I always feel that it is a little less..." Chen Bing licked his lips, "Aura, it is the one where you first tried the young jailer. It’s a feeling. Emotional, dramatic but real.”

Tang Xiu understood a little after hearing this.Li Ziping told him that Chen Bing is now at an embarrassing juncture in his acting career.He and Zhang Kaixing have similar experience and acting skills, but their careers have always been flat.If Zhang Kaixing can't become an instant hit, after a few years, when Zhang Kaixing settles into an epic-level actor, he can only be an old actor who is underappreciated and facing elimination. Everyone thinks it is good when he mentions it, but no one thinks of it if he doesn't mention it.

Tang Xiu silently labeled Chen Bing as a professional in his heart. The aura Chen Bing mentioned was actually experience in the final analysis. After experience, he could naturally grasp the soul of everything he acted.

But Tang Xiu couldn't talk about his experiences from the perspective of a young man in his early 20s. He thought for a while, "Actually, you can try to read more novels. Every actor in the play has limitations in interpreting the characters, but the text No, so..."

Chen Bing's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, "It makes sense. I was still thinking, how can you catch a role so much if you haven't acted before, so it's like this... Sigh, young people are awesome, thank you."

Tang Xiu waved his hands again and again, "I didn't help much, you are really too polite."

Chen Bing was suppressing the excitement after getting the inspiration as he walked out. This is a real drama idiot, and he probably has been thinking about this in his mind from morning till night.Tang Xiu sent him out, Chen Bing glanced at the opposite door, and said in a low voice, "Go back and rest, I might have disturbed the director just now."

Tang Xiu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and turned his head to see that the door of Jiang Qiao's room was indeed closed.

It was true that the door opposite was not closed when Chen Bing came, but it was not obvious. If Tang Xiu hadn't just glanced at it after the call, Tang Xiu himself would not have noticed, but Chen Bing had noticed.He not only noticed that the door of Jiang Qiao's room was not closed just now, but also noticed that the door of Jiang Qiao's room was tightly closed the moment he went out.

Tang Xiu suddenly thought of what Chen Bing said just now.

——"Actually, when you were performing, the corners of Director Jiang's mouth slightly raised many times."

At the time of the audition, he couldn't see the directors' reactions, so after the audition video was released, Tang Xiu watched it several times himself, and even went to see Jiang Qiao's reaction.The picture was not particularly clear, and the angle cuts were switched very quickly, and he didn't notice those subtle expressions at all.

It can be seen from this that Chen Bing's observation ability is very strong, and his awareness of active observation is also amazing.

Lu Kangjing and Song Mian's underground love affair has always been hidden very deep. Except for the only time they combined in a variety show, the two rarely appeared in front of others at the same time, and they didn't dare to date in private. In Song Mian's words, soul love, and raising electronics Pets are no different.

In other words, if the mysterious voyeur wants to gain insight into the secrets of these two people, he must have super observation skills.From this point of view, Chen Bing fit the bill.

"Tang Xiu?" Chen Bing said in a low voice, "Why are you in a daze, go back and rest."

Tang Xiu nodded, "Okay, you should also go to bed earlier."

After sending Chen Bing away, Tang Xiu took a look at his Weibo.

This person is very low-key, there are few selfies or nonsense on Weibo, and a considerable part of the posts are film reviews.He is a loyal fan of Jiang Qiao's works. Regardless of whether he has participated in the performance or not, he will read each one carefully and then write a long article about his thoughts.

In other words, he was good at observing, probably because he paid special attention to Jiang Qiao himself, so it didn't look so suspicious.

And what kind of enmity can such a gentle senior have against Song Mian or Lu Kangjing?

Tang Xiu pushed back the thoughts that had just arisen, and was about to calm down and go to sleep when the phone suddenly rang.

Another decent person at the opposite door.

- "I don't sleep well in the middle of the night, what's the fuss?"

Tang Xiu frowned, "Chen Bing came to me to say a few words, we are very quiet, will it really disturb you?"

Jiang Qiao didn't reply for a long time. Tang Xiu thought that this person was being cowarded by him, so he reached out to turn off the light, but just as he lay down, Jiang Qiao sent another message.

- "What did he talk to you about?"

Across the screen, a strong sense of anxiety rushed over.Tang Xiu suppressed a smile and replied: "Don't worry, Director Jiang, Chen Bing is, really, a serious actor."

Jiang Qiao stopped.

The next day Tang Xiu got up at six o'clock in the morning to put on makeup. Although "Slaying the Fox" had two main male leads, it was Xiao Bai who played the most roles.The filming time of this movie was relatively tight. Tang Xiu's daily schedule was from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. Even on weekends, he seldom had a break, and the work intensity was very high.

The assistant bought him small steamed buns and steamed eggs, Tang Xiu hurriedly ate a couple of bites while the makeup artist was changing tools, picked up the script and continued to read.Jiang Qiao floated by from the outside, glanced inside, and said expressionlessly: "It's useless if you don't work hard at ordinary times, and it's useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily. It's better to eat more to have physical strength NG."

Tang Xiu glanced at Jiang Qiao from the mirror, and didn't intend to answer.On the contrary, his assistant was terrified and hurriedly stood up and chased Jiang Qiao to explain.Tang Xiu watched the two people leave from the mirror, sighed, turned to the makeup artist and said, "Wait for me for 2 minutes, I'll finish my breakfast."

In fact, isn't this guy just trying to urge him to eat more?

When dealing with personnel affairs, he does not speak human language, but Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Qiao has always had the reputation of being the number one live Yan Luo in the director's circle, and there is no humanity at all in the rehearsal of the scene.Tang Xiu was filming for the first time, and the first day was full of action scenes. The first scene was going to be on Wia, playing the role of Xiaobai living a lively and free and easy life in the forest before stepping into the human world.

The prop master helped him fix the safety device on his back, and the martial arts instructor demonstrated the rolling movement after landing. After repeating it several times, he lowered his voice and said to Tang Xiu, "For those who are inexperienced, the secret is to be bold, don't I’m timid. I’ve been filming with Director Jiang for many years, he doesn’t care if you’re a newcomer or not, NG will definitely get scolded, if you get scolded later, don’t be nervous, try to be as bold as possible, understand?”

Tang Xiu nodded, "Don't worry."

Everyone thinks that he is a young boy with a gentle manner, but when he and Jin Yiwei tracked down and handled cases together, it was not uncommon for him to roll and beat.Although the ancients did not have the lightness skills and martial arts secrets of the modern people, but the diet with less oil and sugar and a lot of hard work made the body more flexible and healthy.

Wu Zhi just came over after explaining to Jiang Qiao, glanced at the safety buckle tied on Tang Xiu's back, and stretched out his hand to pull it.

The prop master looked at him blankly, a little nervous, "Director, what's wrong?"

Jiang Qiao waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll just take a look."

He turned to Tang Xiu again, looked around, and said in a low voice: "The difficulty factor of the Wia play is high, don't force it, safety is the top priority, if it doesn't work, just try a few more times."

Tang Xiu hummed, Jiang Qiao turned and left, leaving Wu Zhi with a dazed and embarrassed expression.

He had just hinted to Tang Xiu that Jiang Qiao was inhumane, and the face slap came in a snap.After following Jiang Qiao's crew for so many years, did this boss change his gender today?

Tang Xiu smiled at the coach and remained silent.

In fact, he really wanted to ask Jiang Qiao a question.

It was different after I joined the crew as promised.

It was agreed that I was afraid that being too strict would lead to the end of kindness and justice.

Will the Flag set up yesterday be pulled out early this morning?

Tang Xiu sighed faintly, and at the same time felt a little relieved in his heart.It seems that this little soul seedling bred by Jiang Qiao has a tenacious will to survive, and it is not easy to be wiped out.

Good.

Hu Guangran is playing opposite him in this scene, but Hu Guangran has very few scenes.Xiaobai climbed up and down the ten-thousand-year-old tree outside the cave, his cousin shouted from behind, "slow down," Xiaobai turned around, shrugged, turned around and jumped down.

When Tang Xiu was ready, Wia pulled him onto a four-meter-high platform, and Hu Guangran shouted behind him, "Be careful."

Tang Xiu turned his head and smiled at Hu Guangran.Hu Guangran's appearance was originally heroic, but after wearing a white robe with shoulder pads, he looked even more handsome and handsome.Looking down from Tang Xiu's angle, he couldn't see Hu Guangran's face clearly from a distance, and felt that he looked a bit like Lu Kangjing in a daze.

Hu Guangran's figure is actually stronger than Lu Kangjing's, and his facial features are tough and gentle. I don't know where this similar illusion came from.

Jiang Qiao shouted through the loudspeaker from below: "All departments are ready."

Tang Xiu regained his composure and recalled the movements planned by Wu Zhi in his mind.The slate sounded, and he raised his right hand and placed it on the "trunk" next to him. His white shirt was slightly agitated, and he jumped down with power on his feet.

Hu Guangran shouted behind him, "Xiaobai, slow down! It's getting wild!"

Tang Xiu turned his head and smiled at Hu Guangran, and the camera chased him in close-up. It was an extremely innocent and pure smile.The red lips were parted, the corners of the eyes and brows were full of smiles, with a bit of youthful air, he shrugged his shoulders, and swung around the tree trunk wantonly twice, as if showing off.

"I'm going to be nagged to death by you!"

After finishing speaking, Tang Xiu turned around and jumped, the blower just happened to blow his clothes, he jumped down confidently from a height of several meters, took a few steps in the air through the wire, and landed on the mat on the ground with ease and rolling , After standing firmly, he straightened his waist and turned his head back to wave in the distance.

There are not too many lines, but the wild and willful youthful spirit of the demon spirit is completely brought to life.

Hu Guangran who was standing behind was stunned for a moment, no one expected that Tang Xiu would complete a single movement in one go.

Looking back at that smile, he just shook him.

Jiang Qiao yelled cut, and the voice from the loudspeaker was the same as usual, very calm, without any emotion.Tang Xiu didn't ask anyone to remove the safety straps, and dragged a few long lines to Jiang Qiao's side, "Director, is it okay?"

Jiang Qiao didn't speak, but stared at the screen seriously to watch the replay.The assistant director smiled happily at the side, and Zhang Kaixing, who was waiting at the bottom, secretly gave Tang Xiu a thumbs up. Hu Guangran trotted over and said with a smile: "It must be fine. I usually see you not very talkative. It's not embarrassing at all, it's amazing."

Hearing this, Tang Xiu just smiled, turned his gaze away and continued to look at Jiang Qiao.

Everyone was amazed, but he vaguely felt that there would be no way to pass through Jiangqiao.

Sure enough, after watching the replay several times, Jiang Qiao pressed pause and beckoned Tang Xiu to come closer.

"Look at this, the second leg in the air trembled. Although it was only a flash during the playback, the overall look lacked in fluency."

Jiang Qiao repeatedly slowed down the second to show Tang Xiu, and Zhang Kaixing and the others also came over. After watching for a long time, Zhang Kaixing smacked his lips, "You can tell even Director Jiang is so thin."

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked back at Chen Bing.They were all Jiang Qiao's regular actors, so it was obvious that Jiang Qiao's requirements were more stringent than before.

Don't mention Tang Xiu as a newcomer, even if Jiang Qiao has used many actors, he must have given this kind of lens to this level.Jiang Qiao used to speak harshly when he was a little dissatisfied, but today it was different. Although his tone was mild, his picking index got another star.

Zhang Kaixing hesitated a little. He was afraid that Tang Xiu would be frustrated, and he was planning to make things right when he heard Tang Xiu say in a good-tempered manner, "I know what you're talking about. At that time, my leg twitched. It doesn't matter. I'll do it again."

Jiang Qiao hummed, without the slightest sense of torment, and sat back behind the monitoring screen, instructing the various departments to take their positions again through the walkie-talkie.

For this scene, Tang Xiu took six shots in the end.

The last one passed, slowed down to three times the speed, the whole movement is complete and coherent, without a single flaw.Jiang Qiao's harshness and pickiness reached an unprecedented level, even the few actors who were used to his plays were heartbroken, silently worrying that they would be NG'd over and over again.

Tang Xiu was almost all action scenes today, every shot was NG by Jiang Qiao, slowing down frame by frame to cut out the details, until the mentality of the onlookers would explode.But after such a day, everyone couldn't help refreshing their understanding of Tang Xiu in their hearts.

This young man is very stable, and he doesn't have any mood swings after being NGed over and over again.In the evening when the photo was taken, it was obvious that his physical strength could not keep up, but the young man in front of the camera was still full of energy to the point of explosion, and his state had been improving. In Hu Guangran's words, he was "steady like an old dog".

Because Tang Xiu was always NG, the leading actors didn't sit down to eat until 10:30 in the evening, but everyone didn't complain, and the seniors praised Tang Xiu in unison. Tang Xiu responded with a smile, obviously exhausted, His face was a little pale.

Zhang Kaixing was the least afraid of Jiang Qiao among these actors. Yilaojiao complained that Jiang Qiao was too cruel to the newcomers, but Jiang Qiao didn't say anything.But after everyone else finished eating and left, he put the almost untouched sweet and sour pork tenderloin and braised pork ribs in his lunch box into Tang Xiu's bowl.

Tang Xiu, who buried his head in his meal, looked up at Jiang Qiao. Jiang Qiao didn't show any expression, and just said, "Eat more."

Tang Xiu smiled, "Okay."

After taking a shower at night, Tang Xiu truly realized what training is.

The hot water penetrated into the pores, which was refreshing for a while, but after it dried, his whole body was sore. He lay flat on the bed, feeling that his back was so sore that it was not his own.

There was another knock on the door.

This time Tang Xiu knew who it was intuitively, he didn't even get out of the bed, and called out, "It's not locked."

Jiang Qiao pushed the door open and came in, holding a bulging towel ball that rattled as he walked, and it was wrapped in ice cubes.

He finally didn't have the face of the deputy director during the day, and came over and handed Tang Xiu a towel wrapped in ice cubes, "Use this to massage your waist lightly, don't apply it, your kidneys won't be good if it gets cold."

Tang Xiu said, "Just let it go, I'm too lazy to move."

Jiang Qiao laughed angrily, "This is the first time I've seen an actor like you who cheats on the director after working so hard."

Tang Xiu snorted, "Let's go to each other, it's also the first time I've met a fluffy director like you."

Jiang Qiao raised his eyebrows, and was scolded face-to-face, but he didn't even have a temper at all.

He sighed, "The ice will melt in a while, how about I help you?"

Tang Xiu was silent when he heard the words, and he silently glanced at the soul-collecting flag that he hung again on the bedside, thinking he should forget it.

If he suddenly started to swing while pressing the soul-collecting banner later, he really couldn't explain this kind of supernatural event to Jiang Qiao.

So he got up resignedly, took the towel from Jiang Qiao, and perfunctorily pressed it on his waist through his pajamas.

There was no movement at all in the room, one was massaging himself in silence, and the other was silently watching the other massage himself.

Jiang Qiao was thinking about finding a topic, when through the open door, there was a sound of heavy objects smashing from the depths of the corridor.

It was loud and frightening.

Tang Xiu paused, "Which room?"

The voice came from the end on the right, Jiang Qiao thought about the room arrangement, "Chen Bing."

Tang Xiu immediately threw the love ice towel on the ground, "I'll go and have a look."

Normally, no one would care if something was broken, but Chen Bing had aroused his suspicion yesterday, and although the movement was not the kind of earth-shattering, it was not a small one.

When Tang Xiu ran to the door of Chen Bing's room, Chen Bing just opened the door and came out, holding a dustpan in his hand, which contained pieces of black inkstone, ink dripped onto the dustpan, and there was a unique smell of ink .

Before Tang Xiu could speak, the door opposite to Chen Bing also opened, and Hu Guangran came out with a dazed expression, "What happened just now?"

Chen Bing quickly waved his hand, "It's all right, I accidentally dropped the inkstone, did it disturb everyone?"

Hu Guangran snorted, "No, I haven't slept yet, I just heard the movement through the earphones, so I ran out to take a look. It's fine."

Tang Xiu said, "Senior also brought an inkstone to the set?"

"Yes." Chen Bing smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm still over 30 years old, and I'm always upset. I can calm down by practicing calligraphy."

"This way..." Tang Xiu took the broom from Chen Bing's other hand, "Go and pour it, and I'll help you sweep it."

Chen Bing quickly refused, "No need, no need, it's so embarrassing."

"It's nothing." Tang Xiu smiled, "I'm idle, and I'm also idle. Since I've all come here, I don't feel embarrassed if I don't do anything."

I thought that Chen Bing would continue to refuse, but he didn't, and said, "That's fine, thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, he pushed the door open for Tang Xiu, turned around and walked to the garbage road next to him.

Tang Xiu was a little surprised. He entered the door with a broom, and there were indeed a lot of broken inkstones on the floor of the room, and a table full of copybooks and rice paper was spread on the table.Tang Xiu looked at the table while sweeping the floor. There were various fonts, including running script, official script, and running script.

These characters are not copied through the copybook, but written according to the copybook. Each typeface is written very vividly, and it can be seen that it has skill.

The person who wrote the letter also had a strong ability to imitate handwriting. From this point of view, Chen Bing actually won another one.
