Miss Gu & Miss Qu: 65065
International Airport East Gate.
A slender girl walked out of the airport lobby wearing sunglasses. Passengers flocked to and fro. If anyone caught a glimpse of her by chance, they would turn their heads to look at her more because of her star-studded appearance.
Liang Youyou waited at the airport for several hours and finally waited until the phone rang, and immediately hung up the phone and poked his head out of the car window.
"Hey, Miss Bo, I'm here."
Bo Yiqing hung up the phone after seeing Liang Youyou, took off his sunglasses and walked to the side of the car, "What happened to Miss Xiaojing?"
"Hey, girl." Liang Youyou got out of the car and opened the door for her, with a bright smile on his face, "You just came back to China, it's not too late to think about Xiaojing later, I'll take you to find someone now Let's take a rest somewhere to change our mood, and we'll talk about Xiaojing later."
Bo Yiqing looked at the time, disapproving, "I don't want to go anywhere, please tell me what's wrong with Miss Xiaojing first."
"Tsk." Liang Youyou looked at her in surprise, then put away his weird expression and asked with a smile, "Then, if I say I don't listen to mine, won't I tell you?"
"Then I'll call Tang Yu and ask Tang Yu."
"Hey, I told you that he doesn't know anything. Don't startle the snake. How did we discuss it before? You can't let the third person know. It's a secret, understand? It's a secret."
Bo Yiqing looked at her serious appearance, and said slowly, "I always feel that you are lying to me."
"I, Liang Youyou, never lie to anyone." Then he glanced at her again, "But why are you here even if you suspect that I lied to you?"
Bo Yiqing probably didn't really want to answer her, so he was silent for a while before saying, "I'm worried about Miss Xiaojing."
Liang Youyou took a deep look at her, and finally couldn't help but said, "I thought Gu Xizhi was the biggest weirdo I've ever met."
Bo Yiqing didn't seem to be bothered arguing with her, "Then are you going to tell me or not?"
"Say." Liang Youyou looked at the time and sighed, "But you have to have a meal with me first."
"Sure." Bo Yiqing also retreated a bit.
"That's great, let's get in the car." Liang Youyou opened the door for her and smiled, "The flowers on the car are a gift for you."
"Flowers?" Bo Yiqing was puzzled.
"Hmm."
Bo Yiqing got into the car rather hesitantly.
Liang Youyou watched her get into the car and closed the door for her, humming a little tune and got into the car.
The weather forecast said that it would snow during the day, but it sure turned dark in the afternoon.
The cold air casts a gray tone on the whole city. No matter how dazzling the tall buildings in the distance are colored, when the dark clouds cover them, they are just like a pile of cold and emotionless hard rocks.
On the 27th floor of Times Media, Tian Youlan made several phone calls in a row, hung up the phone again, flipped through the phone book on the desktop, raised her head and said to Gu Xizhi who was opposite, "A piece of good news The bad news, good news is that Li Scarlett has finalized the script, and one of the bad news is that the background of the story is at a university.”
"University?" Gu Xizhi frowned suddenly.
"I heard from her assistant that one of the so-called national castings is to choose a newcomer who is around 20 years old, and the other heroine is to be an award-winning actress. The age cannot exceed 30 years old."
Gu Xizhi lowered his gaze, and the slight hope in his eyes was somewhat shattered.
Tian Youlan looked at her and said, "Do you know why I wanted to poach you when you were still in China Entertainment International?"
Gu Xizhi said calmly, "There are not many movie actors who are nominated every year, and I have something to dig out."
"You're half right." Tian Youlan put down the phone book in her hand, "Actually, I was in the same school as you. Maybe you don't remember me, but I have a deep memory of you."
Gu Xizhi frowned, obviously surprised.
"The school assigned a paper that year. The paper you wrote was published in the school newspaper. I still remember the title of the paper. It was called "On the Application of Alienation Effect in Chinese Drama."
Gu Xizhi probably also recalled the scene at that time, nodded, "Indeed."
"Well." Tian Youlan continued, "Compared with the West, which strictly appreciates dramas, our Eastern dramas have always respected Stanislavsky's experiential acting techniques and advocated pretending to be gods and ghosts. It is required that actors and characters can be integrated to achieve the effect of giving the audience a sense of reality and arousing the audience's resonance. This rigid ideology of ideology allows the audience to be completely controlled by the characters as the drama changes in joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. I didn’t think rationally about myself as an appreciator watching the fire from the other side. To be honest, no matter how good or deep the role is when I watch a movie, as long as I think that there is a camera in front of him, I will find it boring. As you said, it’s nothing more than a sitcom. If you want to use the alienation effect in the main drama, not only may you not be able to deal with the true meaning of Brecht’s alienation effect on the artistic level, but the audience will not buy it, so it is very difficult. "
Gu Xizhi nodded, and asked with some confusion, "These are too theoretical things, does it have anything to do with the current movie?"
Tian Youlan smiled, "You have to know that although Li Scarlett wants to use award-winning actresses, there are quite a few actresses who have won awards, but there are very few actresses under the age of 30 who are suitable for her role. , even if the role is suitable, the schedule may not be so suitable."
Gu Xizhi made up his mind and seemed to agree with her statement, "That's true."
"Whether you have won an award or not, I don't think she will hold back when resources are not abundant, so it's not a big problem to let you go to an audition with a relationship, but you know her. , usually easy-going, filming is very weird, you can impress her in various ways outside of movies, but when it comes to movies, you can only rely on acting."
"The ones who compete with me are all actresses. Even if I am confident that my acting skills are not bad today, I may not be able to beat them to win her favor."
"But there is one thing you forgot." Tian Youlan slightly bent her lips, drawing a beautiful arc, "Scarlett Li, she likes to take the edge of the sword."
Gu Xizhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Artists like to be looked at with amazement, and at the same time, they look at things with a very strange eye." Tian Youlan said with a smile, "In three days, she will choose the actors herself. No matter how everyone wants to audition, just watch Whose performance makes her like it more? Anyway, I think that if you can write the theory beautifully, you can act beautifully. Your "Calamus" has always been the queen of the movie in my heart, and..." There was a long pause, "Back then Li Scarlett's movie didn't use you for many reasons, and it's impossible for her to not feel guilty at all with her character."
Gu Xizhi seemed to be touched by her words, and said seriously after a long silence, "I know what to do."
Three days later.
Audit scene.
"Crack." Not long after the call to a halt, the staff brought an actress into the studio. Excluding the time for makeup and changing clothes, an actor only had a limited performance time of five minutes at most.
For a script, the most suitable thing is never the performance but the actor's image and temperament. An actor wearing a character costume standing in front of the camera can know whether he can stay without any acting director. Of course, for Li Scarlett, the two Both are indispensable.
Gu Xizhi was led by the staff to put on makeup at ten o'clock in the morning. At that time, she realized that Tian Youlan was right. Except for the four actresses who had won various awards and were old enough to participate in the casting, the rest There are six prospective actresses in the audition, and the others are actors who have not been nominated for any film festivals but have become popular on the screen in the past two years.
This world has always been flexible, it just depends on whether you work hard.
"Next, Miss Gu Xizhi."
The last actor's audition was over, and the staff finally signaled Gu Xizhi to enter the audition set. It has been more than two years since he appeared in front of the movie camera. Appropriate station.
The staff on the set performed their duties, and the atmosphere at the audition scene was not easy. On the set, Li Scarlett looked at each actor as if she was looking at a commodity, as if she slept with her on weekdays This moment is also a strange item.
An actor in front complained that the title given by the director was too whimsical and arbitrary. Sure enough, seeing Gu Xizhi standing in front of the camera, Li Scarlett just glanced at her image in the camera and said casually, "You play the female college student Seeing your mother crossing the road alone and trying to ask her to stop nervously, a truck knocked down your mother, and soon someone said that your mother was killed, you are very sad."
The scene is more emotional than action, and it doesn't sound complicated at all. Gu Xizhi didn't act immediately after hearing the topic, but stood still and thought. Li Scarlett looked at the camera again, and said to the assistant director on the side, "It's more suitable for Xiaoyu to have long hair."
The assistant director looked at her for a moment, then shook his head, "I think she is Xiao Xiao."
During the speech, Gu Xizhi had already turned his head to face the distant view camera.
The photographer was obviously taken aback when she looked at the camera.
Several camera positions at the audition scene have always been working. After the actors in her previous auditions got the titles, most of them directly used close-up shots and close-up shots to complete the performance, which made it easier to express the emotions of the characters in a limited time. Of course, there is nothing wrong with it, but it is a bit surprising that Gu Xizhi will use the long-range lens first.
The range of performances of actors in close-up and close-up shots has always been different. In long-range shots, more attention is paid to the performance of the external body. Of course, the close-up shots are reserved for facial expressions to express the inner world. The topic given by the director obviously focuses on "nervous" and "sad" inner dramas. In the eyes of normal people, five minutes should be reserved for close-up shots to express emotions, rather than long-range shots.
The cameraman looked at the director, but the director did not speak, but Gu Xizhi's movements with clear boundaries made it clear that she had entered the role.
For ordinary people, when the director gives the identity of a female college student, actors often rely on their own makeup and dress like a female college student to directly substitute themselves into this identity, but the image characteristics of each person are different. Old people usually falter, and children are too lively.
Gu Xizhi walked a few steps in front of the camera, but did not step out of the camera. Her steps were brisk and her body was very relaxed. Although it was only a few steps, it made people look very energetic.
The photographer froze for a moment, and immediately understood what she meant.
That's right, a female college student should have vigor and energy. She didn't directly regard herself as a female college student to enter the inner scene, but first showed her identity with body language, although there is no line or expression , but when the people present saw her performance, they immediately understood that she was a female college student at the moment.
The requirement of the plot is to see the mother crossing the road very nervous. This kind of momentary thing will be elongated in the movie lens. Not only the expression and eyes of the actors are required to be delicate and in place, but also the physical reaction in some states is also required. .
After completing the identity performance, Gu Xizhi inadvertently raised his head to look at the camera, lowered his head and then raised it quickly, his pupils shrank slightly, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared all of a sudden.
With a subtle expression, the viewer immediately understood that she was shocked by something.
After this expression ended, Gu Xizhi glanced at the camera, making it look like she was observing the situation on the road. Soon she frowned and opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
Her movements were at a loss for a moment, she obviously didn't know where to put her hands, the lines on her face were tense because of her anxiety, and everyone's mood seemed to be pulled along with her emotions.
The expression lasted for a few seconds before being replaced by the shocked expression of the pupils constricting again. Everyone already knew that the character's mother had been knocked down by a car at this time.
As far as the performance in the early stage is concerned, her performance looks as good as the actors with better performances in the early stage, so the final highlight is also very exciting.
The so-called highlight is of course the last crying scene.
For an ordinary person, when his mother suddenly died in front of him, his emotions should be shock and disbelief, followed by crazy pain or abnormal silence. The people at the scene looked at Gu Xizhi, as if they were ready to wait for her emotional breakdown in the performance of virtual objects and hear her cry.
Indeed, the normal way to act in this situation should be to find your mother, and try to express your pain with expression changes, lines, and big tears beside her, so that the character's mood at the moment can be clearly revealed, so that The audience felt the heart-piercing empathy.
This is the true meaning of experiential acting techniques. Whatever role you want to play, you have to deeply understand the inner feelings of that character, and then bring everything about the character to the audience.
Everyone thinks that Gu Xizhi should act like this and he can act well. Everyone knows that the character should be extremely sad at this time.
But Gu Xizhi didn't do that.
Under the gaze of the crowd, she turned her head to face the camera.
Everyone was stunned.
"What is she doing?"
"Is this still acting?"
"It's not acting, but she didn't stop, and the director didn't stop either."
"The atmosphere in the front is very good, so it's a drama all of a sudden, I don't understand it."
………
…
Someone is whispering.
Li Scarlett looked at the camera quietly.
Gu Xizhi faced the camera for a few seconds, and then used his conceptual performance to coherently show the process of his eye sockets gradually turning red, eyes moist, and tears falling.
Some people seemed to be touched and inspired by her performance, but they couldn't say it for a while.
At the same time, her body began to tremble, her breathing seemed to be a little difficult, and she obviously looked like she was about to faint.
"Click."
Li Scarlett yelled to stop before she fell down.
Gu Xizhi immediately stopped performing.
Li Scarlett nodded to indicate that it was ok, and then said to the staff, "Next."
The staff showed Gu Xizhi the way, Gu Xizhi bowed to Li Scarlett's position, and then left the set.
Scarlett Li took advantage of the idling of changing actors and said to the assistant director, "What were you thinking when she jumped into the role just now."
"As a director, I was thinking about why she thought of acting like this. For the director, what other methods can be used to use the alienation effect in the main drama without losing the original flavor. As an audience, I was thinking about what she conveyed to me by jumping out of the role Communication, I thought about how I felt when I encountered such a thing.”
"But many people will find it inexplicable."
"I believe that there are many people who know how to appreciate it. The thinking brought about by the alienation effect is far more meaningful than blindly putting emotions into illusory dramas."
Scarlett Li turned her head and smiled, her pretty short hair made her look wiser, "So you are the assistant director of this drama."
**
It has been cloudy and snowy for the past few days, and the cloudy weather in the daytime has become a bit harsh at night. Disappear soon.
It has been snowing for two nights, and a thick layer of pure white has accumulated on the houses and trees. Gu Xizhi is sitting in the living room watching TV, with his right hand still holding the phone even though it is in his pocket.
Adverts were constantly playing on the TV, but she didn't seem to notice, her gaze was always on the large display screen.
The phone rang in a hurry, Gu Xizhi took out the phone and put it to his ear, "Director Tian."
"The result is good news." Tian Youlan's voice appeared on the other end of the phone, "The role of Yun Xiaoxiao did use a newcomer actor. The actor was only twenty years old and a college student. The role of Shi Yu has two people, one is you, and the other is She Jia, who became popular in court dramas. According to her assistant, She Jia was arranged by the management, not Li Scarlett's original intention, but she is right. She Jia is also quite satisfied, and is thinking about it, and now she is afraid of pressure from the management."
Gu Xizhi was a little depressed, "The investor has no right to interfere with the producer and director's selection of roles."
"The current general situation in the industry is like this. I inquired about it. The investor this time is also a film company that was established in the past two years. It has only invested in two films before. It has a certain financial strength to cooperate with Li Scarlet Cooperation, the president of this film company is named Lu, I asked him through my relationship, but he is very difficult to deal with, and he doesn't even ask for money, I always feel that it is very troublesome to start with him."
Gu Xizhi thought for a while, "What's the relationship between She Jia and him?"
"Don't even think about it. After all, the producer and director are such decent people as Li Scarlett. Could it be that they are putting themselves in the trap of investors?"
"Then..." Gu Xizhi hesitated, "Is there another way for you to say that?"
"I also feel very puzzled when I say it." Tian Youlan sighed, "I found out that this Huaxing Film Company is actually a subsidiary of Huatian Group, and the chairman of Huatian Group is Qu Tingxiang, this entrepreneur started out in the diamond business, but he has been concentrating on the diamond business for so many years. He didn’t even set foot in the real estate industry when it was so hot. I was curious why he established a film company, so I checked him a little more. I found out that his daughter is Qu Xizhi, the Queen of the Golden Tripod."
Gu Xizhi frowned, his expression suddenly became a little complicated.
"Qu Xizhi and I know each other well. Everyone knows that she likes to help people very much. I think, if she can use her words to find Qu Tingxiang, the surname Lu will not offend the group for a woman. Chairman, but when I called at night, she declined my request, saying that the group never interferes with the operation of the branch. I'm just wondering now... Do you really have a relationship with her like rumors?"
Gu Xizhi held the phone, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Tian Youlan said again, "It was not easy for you to be left by Li Scarlett among so many people, even if the chance of missing the opportunity is only one percent, there are three ways now, the first is to find someone surnamed Lu , but I think 99% of him is a pervert. The second is to find Li Scarlett, but she is still considering the role. Going to her now will easily cause her disgust. The third is to find Qu Xizhi, but if you really have a festival , just pretend I didn’t say that.”
Gu Xizhi thought for a long time before saying, "Let me think about it."
**
In the cold season, there are still many people on the riverside who are not afraid of the severe cold. Some people on the bridge are taking cameras to capture the snow scene at night, and there are also sad people who are not afraid of the severe cold drinking wine by the bridge, but more couples are quietly feeling the snowy night.
The snow fell quietly, and the enchanting flakes disrupted the whole world. Gu Xizhi sat in the car and watched the night view of the river quietly. Even though the car was fully heated, he still felt that the place was extremely cold.
The assistant has accompanied her to watch the night scene here for half an hour. Although this place made her feel very romantic at first, no matter how beautiful the place is, it would be annoying for people to do nothing and watch it for half an hour. It was just half past nine in the evening, the assistant looked at his watch and said to Gu Xizhi, "Miss Gu, can we go now?"
Gu Xizhi slowly looked back at Jiang Mian, looked up at the assistant's expectant eyes, and said, "Go to Dongpu Road."
"Oh." Hearing that he could leave here, the assistant instantly felt happy wherever he went.
When the car arrived at No. 99 Dongpu Road, Gu Xizhi sat in the car and said to his assistant, "I don't want you to say anything later, just follow me in."
The assistant didn't know what she was going to do, but thought it was very novel, so she kept nodding.
Gu Xizhi took a scarf to wrap it around, opened the door and got out of the car.
It is said that the house number of Qu Xizhi and Zhong Linshan's house means loving you for a long time. After confirming that the house number is ninety-nine, and seeing the light in the house, Gu Xizhi stood outside the door without hesitation and rang doorbell.
The doorbell only rang before there was the sound of footsteps coming to open the door. When the door opened, Gu Xizhi's expression was a bit serious, but when he saw the person who came to open the door, he immediately seemed much more relaxed.
"Sorry to bother you so late and let you see me, I have something to talk to you about."
After opening the door, Qu Xizhi looked at her, and then at the girl behind her, "Won't she blame you for letting the assistant work with you at such a late hour?"
The assistant immediately shook his head when he heard the words, Gu Xizhi looked sideways at the assistant, then raised his head to face Qu Xizhi, "It would be better for her to come here with me."
Qu Xizhi looked at her assistant and opened the door slowly, "Then come in."
Gu Xizhi walked a few steps into the house, and was entangled by a fluffy puppy before he passed the entrance. He didn't pay attention to the dog. No one else said to Qu Xizhi, "Is Miss Zhong upstairs?"
Qu Xizhi came out from the kitchen with tea. Hearing that she hadn't answered her question for a long time, he put away a set of tea sets before saying, "She's going to attend a fashion show and won't be back until next week."
Gu Xizhi then turned his attention to the puppy and asked, "What is this you raised?"
"The stray dog I picked up." Qu Xizhi poured three cups of tea, and motioned for Gu Xizhi's assistant to sit down.
After seeing Qu Xi, the little assistant was a little baffled by the direction of the matter, and now he only feels that standing is neither sitting nor sitting, and he is extremely cautious.
Gu Xizhi looked at her, then turned his head to Qu Xizhi, "You don't have to be so polite, since I'm here, I'll get straight to the point with you." After a pause, he threw himself towards Qu Xizhi "I want to act in Scarlett Lee's new movie."
Qu Xizhi put down the tea set, and said in a casual tone, "This should be Li Scarlett."
"You know what I mean by looking for you."
"I don't think you like me meddling in your life and interfering with your talents."
"Of course you can be a complete bystander." Gu Xizhi's tone was suddenly not as calm as before, "But at least don't give me a stumbling block."
Qu Xizhi looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled ironically, "So you think that Huaxing Film Company is actually managed by me, the president Lu Zhenyou obeyed me, and I asked him to recommend it to Li Scarlett She Jia, did I intentionally make your movie casting difficult, did I intentionally take revenge on you?"
Gu Xizhi looked away and did not speak.
"I'm sorry that I made you feel so narrow." Qu Xizhi smiled lightly, "I admit that my father established a film company because of my persuasion, and I also admit that China Star will invest in Li Sijia I was the matchmaker for Li's movie, but my father always believed that there is a specialization in the art industry. He thinks that Lu Zhenyou, the president of Huaxing, will be much better than me in managing the company. I would never have thought that he, an investor, would interfere with the director's casting, you have to understand that I was an actor too, and it is impossible for me to do something so bottomless as to interfere with industry rules."
Gu Xizhi lowered his eyes, and after a while, he seemed unwilling again, raised his head and said, "But I don't think that you, a dignified young lady of the Qu family, will have nothing to do with the president of a subsidiary company of your own group. You are simply being perfunctory." Tian Youlan."
"Yes." Qu Xizhi didn't deny it, "I was perfunctory her, if I didn't perfuse her, why would you be here now?"
She didn't hide it at all, which made Gu Xizhi feel a little bad, "You obviously don't want to see me, so what are you asking me to do here?"
"What do you think?" Qu Xizhi confronted each other.
Gu Xizhi looked at her, as if he couldn't believe it, and his expression was extremely disappointed.
The little assistant who was standing by the side had long been stunned, but now that the two are facing each other, there is a strange atmosphere in the air, and she suddenly feels... If she doesn't leave, she who knows too much will die without a trace land.
"Yes... I'm sorry, my boyfriend is sick and waiting for me in the hospital, so I'll go first."
Swiftly turn around and open the door to escape.
When the door was closed, Gu Xizhi calmed down and raised his head to look at her with renewed courage, "I don't care about being compared with She Jia, but at least I want a fair environment. Tell me what you want."
"Stay here tonight." Qu Xizhi's eyes fell on her lightly, and he wrote lightly.
Gu Xizhi seemed not to hear clearly, but also seemed to not understand, "What did you say?"
"You heard me."
Gu Xizhi frowned, as if he couldn't believe it, but quickly put away all his expressions, turned his head and walked out the door with a sarcastic smile.
"What are you busy with?" Qu Xizhi paced behind her, "Let me ask you, why didn't you go to Lu Zhenyou, but to me instead?"
Gu Xizhi stopped and bent his lips, smiling weakly, "I thought that even if we couldn't even be friends, you could at least treat me like a stranger. When Tian Youlan told me that you didn't agree to help I was thinking, you can help so many strangers, why are you so indifferent to me, yes, even if you have nothing to do with Hua Xing, even if you know nothing about She Jia, but you still don’t know how to treat a stranger So ruthless, but so targeted at me, I want to know why."
"That's it." Qu Xizhi looked at her back with a calm voice, "Do you understand now?"
"Understood." Gu Xizhi's voice was a little numb, "You hate me." Turning his head to look at her, his expression was very calm, "I'm sorry I was so emotional just now, in fact, when I first came here, I At one time, I thought it was because I didn’t do well at the beginning, so you thought I was hateful. I also thought about having a good talk with you so that you would be less resentful towards me, but now it seems that there is no need for it. You just want to humiliate me. It's just me, of course, this humiliation has nothing to do with resentment, because resentment has always been based on love, and you have long since disliked me at all."
Qu Xizhi lowered his gaze and looked directly into her eyes, and said after a while, "Wonderful conclusion." With a smile, the color in his eyes was indifferent, "Yes, I didn't like you at all a long time ago. "
Eyes were a little dry, Gu Xizhi clenched the corners of his clothes, and kept a calm tone, "Just pretend I haven't been here tonight. Forgive me for humiliating myself. Please forget about the movie." Go to the door.
"Gu Xizhi." Qu Xizhi glanced at her back, "I'll ask you again, why did you come to me instead of Lu Zhenyou?"
Gu Xizhi looked at the thick night outside the window, and said slowly, "I've already said what I need to say. I'm already like this, so please let me live."
The thin figure melted into the wind and snow, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
