Turn bad luck into good luck [Entertainment circle]

Two days later, Lu Baisheng called and said that Li Song, the director of "Time Burial", wanted to meet and talk with Shen Du in person.

They met in a coffee shop.

When Shen Du opened the door and walked in, there were very few customers in the cafe, and a few young people were sitting scattered, so he found the target as soon as he looked up.

Li Song is a thin man in his early forties, wearing cheap black short-sleeves, sitting on his seat and looking down at his phone, as if in a daze.

Shen Du walked over: "Director Li? I'm Shen Du."

The man on the sofa raised his head, revealing an overly thin face, slightly long hair hanging down to cover his eyebrows and eyes, protruding cheekbones, bloodshot eyeballs, obvious dark circles under his eyes, and no beard above his lips. shave.

The whole person looks decadent and vicissitudes of life.

Li Song looked at Shen Du slowly from head to toe with scrutinizing eyes, then stretched out his right hand to wipe his pants nervously, then stood up slowly, and shook hands with Shen Du. Next: "You, hello."

The two sat down facing each other, Shen Du glanced at the table: "What to drink?"

Li Song had no place to rest his hands, he licked his mouth and said dryly: "Latte."

Shen Du closed the menu, ordered a latte and a glass of ice water.

He put his hands on the table and crossed his fingers vaguely: "Director Li, I am very interested in "Time Burial". I wonder if I have the opportunity to play Lin Xilv?"

Lin Xilu is the hero of "Time Burial", a man who chooses to hold a funeral for himself in a life of repression and despair. He walks out of that boring rental room, and then embarks on an endless journey. Meet many strangers who are as confused about life as he is.

While listening to other people's stories, you are also redeeming yourself.

After listening to Shen Du's words, Li Song half covered his pupils with shimmering hair behind his broken hair. He stared at Shen Du for a long time, then shook his head: "You, you can't play Lin Xilv."

Shen Du was taken aback.

Li Song couldn't help stretching out his index finger to point at the position of Shen Du's eyes in the air.

"Your eyes are too bright. Although there are some things hidden in them that should not be available at this age, they are not enough." He tilted his head, his eyes were a little empty, "Brigade Linxi...his life is like desert grass, and he is desperate. And gorgeous, his eyes don't have so much hope for the future."

When talking about the character he created, Li Song became obviously emotional: "He is complex and multi-faceted. He can become a lively young man who loves to talk, laugh, and bring light to others. But he also longs for light, he is different, he—”

"Hello, your coffee." The waiter's voice interrupted him, Li Song closed his mouth, and the focus of his eyes became empty, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Du picked up the ice water and took a sip.

To be honest, he was a little depressed. He thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't even try the audition, so the director rejected him first.But this opportunity is really rare, and he doesn't want to watch it slip away from him in vain.

"I probably understand what Director Li means. It's just that... I still want to try my best." His fingertips tapped on the wall of the cup, "Can I try the mirror first?"

Li Song frowned: "I don't know why you are so persistent. Well, let me take a look..." He took out a stack of manuscripts from his bag, picked out one, and handed it to Shen Du, "You Try this."

The paper turned out to be a handwritten script fragment, no lines, only one scene, the last scene of the Linxi brigade saying goodbye to everyone, when he put on his backpack and stepped into the car on his way home, he seemed to hear a familiar voice calling him faintly behind him. name, floating intermittently in the wind.

It was his own voice.

There was an indescribable retention in the hoarseness. ——That was my past self.

Brigade Lin Xi tilted his head, but didn't turn around. He just paused for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand and waved it back vigorously, as if following the movement, he also waved away the last confusion in his heart.

Shen Du closed his eyes.

Li Song's eyeballs rolled and wandered aimlessly across his face.

He didn't really have any hope in his heart.

The script "Time Burial" was actually written by him ten years ago, but at that time he was just a waiter doing odd jobs in a restaurant, he was too naive, thinking that the story he wrote with a little bit of stumbling would be recognized by a certain director beads.

The more times he was rejected and ridiculed, he gradually stopped wanting to recommend himself.

Instead, the urge to take pictures arose.

When it was really time to do it, I found that the road ahead was full of difficulties.Firstly, he has no funds to form a team, and secondly, he has never learned how to be a director, so he simply does not have the ability to produce the desired effect.

So I let go of my mind and worked around while studying.

After going around for so many years, the script has been revised and polished again and again. Although the funds are insufficient and the crew is insufficient, it is finally considered to be barely ready for filming.

But he found that he couldn't find a suitable actor at all.

None of them are Lindsay Brigade.

Li Song silently looked at Shen Du on the opposite side, wondering what reason he would use to reject this persistent young man later.He is not very good at talking to people, and even has some social phobias. Every time he says a word of rejection, he always has to think about it several times in his heart.

He lowered his head and took a sip of the coffee, the bitter taste instantly overwhelmed his taste buds.

The person opposite had closed his eyes for a long time, so long that he wondered if the other person had fallen asleep. He put down his glass and prepared to end the conversation early——

The young man on the opposite side suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly lowered, his eye sockets were flushed, and there was something unspeakable in his eyes, which seemed to be nostalgic and sad, joyful and sad. The corners of his mouth raised a slight arc, and a crystal clear tear slid down and landed on his lips.

The look in his eyes changed, and all the emotions came together, into relief, into relief, into a drive to rekindle hope.

His lips moved a few times, but no sound came out.

"Goodbye," he said to himself.

Li Song's breathing seemed to pause for a second. He opened his eyes wide, and he still hadn't recovered. He shook his head and stood up abruptly. His eyes were full of excitement: "You, your eyes just now are good!" He rubbed his hands and didn't talk too much, "Well, "Time Burial" will be launched at the end of October, and I will reply to you before then."

Shen Du's clenched fist finally loosened slowly, he picked up the cup and touched Li Song's, "Thank you."

"No." Li Song gave him a complicated look, "It should be me thanking you."

——Let me see at that moment, you have the shadow of Linxi brigade.

The matter came to an end for the time being, and Shen Du quickly devoted himself to the filming of "The Code of Love".

The atmosphere of the new crew is not bad, probably because of the director's personality, the whole crew gets along very well, even if there are personal conflicts, it has nothing to do with Shen Du.

The heroine Jian Jing's temperament is too cold, and Shen Du and her in the play are just meeting and nodding to say hello, but Cheng, who plays the male lead, has been slow to come as always, and the crew didn't say anything, but see There were also complaints about it.

The director also called Cheng Jing's agent several times, but still did not get a definite answer.

By the end of August, most of Shen Du's scenes had been filmed, and the rest were scenes with the male protagonist. After a few temporary guest appearances by the crew, Cheng Jing's role in "The Legend of the Queen of Swallows" was finally finished. And entered the crew here.

Seeing Shen Du here, he was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. Shen Du called out "Teacher Cheng" in a timely manner, and his tone was not alienated but not familiar.

The other party didn't reply, just nodded his chin when he passed by him, and then led the hula group behind him away.

Shen Du touched his nose, turned around and saw Jian Jing standing not far behind him, fixedly looked at the direction where Cheng Jing disappeared for a while, then looked away, followed the assistant to the dressing room.

……

In mid-September, Shen Du's role was finally wrapped up.

Sun Yiquan accepted a modern drama last month, in which he played the role of an undercover agent, and even specially sent him a photo to show him, still smiling stupidly, thinking about when they would have another meal when they were free.

The clip of "The Legend of the Swallow Queen" was cut out amidst the eagerness of everyone.

Lu Baisheng promptly sent him the password of the authenticated Weibo account, and Shen Du logged on to the new Weibo account, using a photo of him as the profile picture, followed more than 30 people, and there were only two pathetic Weibo accounts.

It was all sent by Lu Baisheng for him.

One is the reposted "Love Code" official blog stills, and the other is the reposted "The Legend of the Swallow Queen" on Weibo.

The number of fans displayed on the page is one hundred and one, which is extremely pitiful.However, there were actually a dozen or so people leaving messages on the latest Weibo. He couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he opened it and looked.

Tiger in Pingyang: Sofa! The flowers are out, and the fried chicken looks good!!!

Sister-in-law [-]: There are so few videos of my little brother, I can’t find them after unplugging for a long time [big cry][big cry]

Laughing Mushroom Zai Zai: Ahhh, the film is finally born.

Girl eating melon: I am so happy that I didn’t grab the sofa!

Sleeping, Hundan: When will it be broadcast? [Life without love]

……

Shen Du was a little moved.

Originally wanted to reply to the comment, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He clicked on the video and watched it.

It has to be said that Director Qi grasped the rhythm of the camera very accurately, and the transition of each scene always complements the transition of the background music, using darker tones.

At the beginning, a group of palace people holding palace lanterns and trays, walking hurriedly on the promenade, a slightly feminine voice sounded.

"The sinful daughter Xie, who deceived the king and tried to plot against her, I bestow upon you three feet of white silk, as a warning to others—"

The dense drum beats and spinning dance skirts perfectly set off the subtle expressions and treacherous thoughts on the faces of everyone at the banquet.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, a feathered arrow pierced the night, with a cold light at the tip, screaming and rushing towards the emperor on the high platform.

"Escort!!!—"

The camera is getting farther and farther away, overlooking the magnificent palace below, and slowly rising to the sky.

Three balls of ink slowly appeared on the screen, and finally turned into three large characters——

Yan Hou Chuan.
