The choice of rebirth

Xia Qi hasn't received the letter yet, but the interview is imminent.The interview was scheduled for Friday, and Xia Qi took a day off.Because she usually behaves very well, so the teacher is very happy to allow the leave.

At six o'clock in the morning on Friday, Xia Qi packed herself up early and went out to wait for Zhao Gang's car to pick her up.She is at the best age now, and she pays more attention to her diet, so her skin is in excellent condition.So, Xia Qi just shaved her eyebrows a little to make herself look softer.The clothes are just simple T-shirt denim, which looks youthful and beautiful.

Zhao Gang's car came quickly, Xia Qi opened the door and sat in the back.This is a four-seater car, besides the driver and Zhao Gang, there is also a girl in the car.

The girl was dressed very stylishly, when she saw Xia Qi getting into the car, she looked at her carefully for a while, then turned her head to call Uncle Zhao Gang affectionately, as if disdainful.

"Xia Qi, this is my niece Zhao Qianqian. She is a senior in high school this year, and she is a few years older than you. Qianqian, this is Xia Qi. She is a very energetic little girl. In the performance, you must Learn from others." Zhao Gang introduced them to them with a smile.

When the elders introduce people, they usually belittle their own children and elevate other people's children, and the two sides praise each other very harmoniously.

But Zhao Qianqian snorted out of her nose, expressing her disapproval.like her?Knowing that he was going to audition, he didn't clean himself up, thinking it was just playing tricks?Zhao Qianqian will never admit that Xia Qi looks beautiful even without makeup.

Zhao Gang's face darkened on the spot. As a niece, he is not good enough, she can't read books, and she can act like anyone.But he is more loyal than the sky, thinking that his acting skills are very good.

It's also his fault. When he brought Zhao Qianqian into the group, he talked about his relationship with Zhao Qianqian from the very beginning, which made everyone more accommodating to her.

This time, he was going to ask his uncle to help him frustrate Zhao Qianqian's spirit, so that she would never understand the truth that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people.

Xia Qi naturally doesn't care about her attitude, young people are all sharp-edged, and they will definitely not be happy to hear others say that they are not as good as others.She asked Zhao Gang some questions about the settings in the script, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Zhao Qianqian took out her makeup bag and fixed up her makeup in front of the small mirror.

More than an hour's drive passed quickly. After the car got off the highway, it got on the national road, and then turned on a dirt road.

The weather in April is always cloudy and rainy. The soil on the road is wet by the rain, and it looks wet and slippery. If people walk on it, they will definitely step on it.

The car left two deep marks on it, and the road started to get a little bumpy.Sitting in the co-pilot, Zhao Qianqian could see the disgust on her face. She hated this kind of country place.

The rain stopped slowly, and after a while, the car also stopped at the gate of a small courtyard. In front of me was a very simple and simple village.After all, the background of Chuncao's film is the countryside, so it can't be shot in the city!

Xia Qi opened the car door, carefully stepped on a slightly dry place, and came to the door to wait for Zhao Gang and the others.

Zhao Gang was fine, he stepped on the shoe, only a little mud stuck to the sole, he walked to a stone, rubbed his foot on it, and then came to Xia Qi's side.

"Qianqian, come down quickly, we're going in." Seeing Zhao Qianqian's delay in getting out of the car, Zhao Gang yelled.

The driver had already opened the door for her, but Zhao Qianqian sat on it as firmly as Mount Tai. She looked at the mud on the ground with disgust, because her feet were covered with a pair of stiletto heels, stepping on them would definitely stain her shoes.

"Why did you choose such a place, really!" Zhao Qianqian finally walked out reluctantly after the driver took out a board and put it on the ground.

Seeing that the person had already come down, Zhao Gang took the lead and walked in without saying anything more in order to save her some face.

This is an ordinary yard. What is unusual is that there are many people in this yard, and they are holding various tools in their hands. It seems that they are for setting up the scene.

Xia Qi finally has a sense of past life here. To be honest, she spends more time on the set than at home throughout the year, so it is inevitable that she will feel a little familiar with this place.

"Director Zhao, you are here. Director Li is waiting inside!" Someone greeted Zhao Gang, and pointed him the way, signaling him to go to the largest room.

Zhao Gang smiled and exchanged a few words with him, then took Xia Qi and Zhao Qianqian inside.

"Wait here, I'll go in and say hello first." Although this is a large room, there is actually a partition wall in the middle, which divides the inside and the outside into two worlds.

As soon as Zhao Gang left, Zhao Qianqian didn't hide anymore, she glanced at Xia Qi, and said, "Hey, go and help me wipe that stool, I can't even find a clean place in this broken place. "

Xia Qi looked at her without moving.

"You are deaf, I tell you to wipe the stool!"

"Can't you wipe it yourself?"

"I'm wearing a skirt. It's so long that I'm going to mop the floor when I squat down. If my uncle didn't bring you here, why would you stay here and ask you to do something?"

Xia Qi was speechless, she originally thought that this little girl was just a little competitive, but now she looked like a child who hadn't grown up, she had to let the society teach her to be a human being.

Zhao Qianqian stared at Xia Qi with a very angry look.Xia Qi stared straight at her, looking fearless.

At this moment, Zhao Gang came out. He didn't notice the strange atmosphere between the two of them, and said eagerly, "Come in with me, my uncle wants to see you!"

Zhao Qianqian restrained herself when she heard the voice, and followed Zhao Gang in naturally, while Xia Qi walked slowly behind her.

As soon as he entered the inner room, Xia Qi heard a serious voice saying, "Is this the one you recommended to play Chuncao?"

Xia Qi looked up and was taken aback. The old man in front of him turned out to be director Li Ping!This is a milestone figure in the history of national film. He was born in the year Xia Qi made his debut and was awarded the "Lifetime Award for Artistic Achievement" by the country. Among the exam questions, movie selections are basically compulsory questions every year.

He turned out to be director Zhao Gang's uncle?Why haven't you heard of it in the last life?

With such a character, will the film fail the review?

No, Xia Qi's pupils contracted. She was 16 years old when she debuted, which means that director Li Ping will die next year.

No wonder, it is said that he had been hospitalized for more than half a year before his death, that is to say, he will be hospitalized due to illness this year.It seems that there is no way to make the film Chuncao...

It's a pity that she didn't know what disease director Li Ping died of. Perhaps, if the treatment was done early, it could be cured?

Zhao Gang looked at Xia Qi who was distracted below, and couldn't help helping his forehead.What happened to Xia Qi?How can you lose your mind during this critical period?Zhao Qianqian had already introduced herself, but she hadn't responded yet.

"Cough cough!"

Xia Qi came back to his senses, and suddenly found that everyone was looking at him.Especially Zhao Qianqian, the pride in his eyes overflowed.

Director Li Ping was a little dissatisfied. His attitude in dealing with things has always been very strict, and now this little girl came in

Just in a daze.

"Hello, everyone, my name is Xia Qi. Qi is a person who doesn't talk about peaches and plums, and makes a path of her own." Xia Qi has a crisp voice and has a good line skills honed over the years, so even if her voice is not very loud, the presence of Everyone can hear clearly.This saved some impression points for her.

In the film Chuncao, there are not many female characters, and the ones suitable for young girls are Chuncao and Xiaoju.Xiaoju is a child of Chuncao's neighbor. She is full of sympathy for Chuncao, and often secretly feeds Chuncao and her children.

But such a child was dragged into the woods while walking at night, and never came back.It can be said that the film Chuncao can basically be called a history of women's suffering.

Because it was rare for Zhao Gang to beg him, Li Ping made an exception and gave the two little girls he brought the priority to audition. If anyone can meet his request, then she can stay.

Although director Li Ping is very strict with filming, he is not intolerant of making mistakes.As long as you fall into his eyes, then your luck will come, and he will kill you to death.

The most classic one is when Zhou Jingsheng, the actor of the year, was interviewed by a later program, and he recalled the fragment.It turned out that when he was a fledgling, he joined the crew of director Li Ping.It may be that the director thinks he is quite attractive, so he is very strict with him. He often shoots a scene for two or three days, trying to make sure that his emotional state is perfect before he can pass. director Li Ping.

That movie took a full year and four months to shoot, and one year of it was spent polishing his acting skills, and he didn't know how much film was wasted.

Director Li Ping has never filmed any big productions or big scenes. What he is good at is shooting the joys and sorrows of small people, seeing the truth from the small things, reflecting the lives of people at that time, and exposing some social darkness.His movies are basically small-budget movies, but the profits he reaps are huge.Because he is filming with his heart.

That movie turned Zhou Jingsheng from a rookie who knew nothing at that time to a master with proficient acting skills. Although he failed to win the best actor in that movie, what he got was that trophy An incomparable treasure, it can be said that Zhou Jingsheng is half of Li Ping's apprentice.And there is more than one artist like Zhou Jingsheng?Therefore, director Li Ping's status in the film industry, not to mention the next few years, even in the next four to fifty years, I am afraid it will be difficult for anyone to surpass him.

"Then you guys can start." Li Ping looked at them and said.

There was a trace of confusion in Zhao Qianqian's eyes, start?start what?Don't change clothes, don't put on makeup, can't you tell them to start acting?

Xia Qi was also taken aback, and then immediately got into the mood, "Director, which part do you want to watch?"

"Have you memorized everything?" Li had a flat face, and ordinary people couldn't see his emotions at all.

Xia Qi nodded, and Zhao Qianqian looked at her as if she had seen a ghost. Although the script didn't seem very thick, because Li Ping was famous for changing plays, it couldn't be memorized in a few days, right?

"Then, let's play the laundry part."

Xia Qi thought for a while, then walked out.

Zhao Qianqian stood next to Zhao Gang and watched her actions, why did she go out?Stop acting?

After a while, Xia Qi came back again, still holding a small bench in his hand.She was sitting on a small bench with her waist bent down and her legs spread out to the sides, as if there was a big wooden basin in front of her.

Xia Qi started to wash the clothes, she skillfully soaped the clothes, then rubbed them, after washing several clothes, she sat up straight, patted her lower back naturally, with a relaxed smile on her face.Suddenly, her eyes seemed to be attracted by something in the basin, she stared straight down, her smile gradually cooled down.She stretched out a hand, tremblingly took the thing up, stuck it to her face, and cried out in a low voice, "Baby."

A string of tears rolled down her eyes, and she called "baby" again, and the obvious sadness infected everyone present.Before everyone came back to their senses, she suddenly dropped the thing on the ground, stepped on it again and again, and let out a beast-like roar from her mouth.But everyone could feel that she seemed to be shrouded in a deep despair that couldn't be broken.

"Card!"

Xia Qi stood up straight and bowed to the director sitting on top.

This scene is a scene after Chuncao's daughter fell ill because no one took care of her, and her husband refused to pay for medical treatment, which caused her daughter to die.At this time, Chuncao's mind is not so clear, and she often goes crazy when she is well.Her husband didn't dare to let her go to the river to wash clothes again, fearing that she would drown, so he took a big basin for her to wash.When she was doing laundry, she suddenly saw a baby's used bib in the basin, and she had an emotional outburst.

Xia Qi is very involved in acting, and the people around him are also very involved in watching. They seem to see Chuncao, a hard-fated woman, roaring at fate.So much so that the director suddenly yelled "card", and they were still a little bit unsatisfied.

Li Ping nodded in his heart, but there was no fluctuation on his face. He motioned Xia Qi to stand aside and wait, then turned his head to look at Zhao Qianqian.

Zhao Qianqian had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked on, "This... I haven't memorized this passage yet." She didn't even know what plot Xia Qi was performing in the play.

"Then what do you remember?"

"The...first act?" Zhao Qianqian asked tentatively, she didn't dare to look up at his uncle's expression.

"Then let's play the first act." Li Ping suddenly spoke unexpectedly.

Zhao Qianqian said "Oh", and then began to recall the scene description of the first scene.After a while, she began to perform.Due to her unfamiliarity with the script, she stuttered in her lines, but her expression matched Chuncao's expression at that time, life would be worse than death.Looking at it, Zhao Gang just wanted to throw her back in the car, wishing he hadn't brought her here.

At any rate, I have filmed a few scenes. Although it is in his movie, it can't be that there is no progress at all!The saddest thing is that her performance is put together with Xia Qi's just now, it's like a heaven and a hell.

After hearing the director's call to stop, Zhao Qianqian breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief, and waited tremblingly for the final verdict.

"You go back first," Li Ping said to Zhao Qianqian, and then he turned to look at Xia Qi, "You stay for a while."

Zhao Qianqian ran out crying, she had never been wronged like this since filming.Zhao Gang looked at Li Ping gratefully, fortunately his uncle didn't have a poisonous tongue today, otherwise Zhao Qianqian would not stop crying.
