Reborn as King [Entertainment]

Feiran looked at the script in his hand and sighed.He just met Du Zhuang, the director of "The Beginning of Man", successfully signed the contract and got the complete script of the movie.But when he got home, he was not very happy.

I originally thought that the current me, with my good looks and strength, should be a breeze to get the role I want.But the cruel facts told him that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Director Du Zhuang is an honest person. He made it very clear that the role of Fang Mingxuan has long been decided to be played by Zhang Xiuji, a popular young boy. Because of Wang Tezhu's recommendation, Fang Mingxuan's scene was added to the audition script.For this reason, this honest man also solemnly apologized to Feiran.

However, Du Zhuang also said that apart from the fact that he had already signed a contract with Zhang Xiuji, he did not choose Feiran to play Fang Mingxuan. The bet is on him.

Fei Ran could understand, but felt unavoidably aggrieved.I had no choice but to open the script and study the role he was going to play, the suspect Zhao Yihang.

"The Beginning of Man" is a purely male drama, most of the shots are focused on the two male protagonists, and the only character who can be called a supporting actress is so soy sauced almost the whole time.Among the remaining roles, Zhao Yihang has the most roles, and he is a veritable supporting actor.

In the early days of the movie, Zhao Yihang gradually appeared in front of the audience following Fang Mingxuan's profile.Then he was quickly arrested and interrogated, and was released on bail in the middle of the film. It was not until the end of the film and the truth was revealed that the role of this supporting role was over.

Although it sounds like there are a lot of scenes, the actual total is less than 15 minutes, and most of them are sideline descriptions. There are only three scenes that directly show the characters.The first scene was the interrogation scene; the second scene was when he was released on bail by his family; the third scene was when Zhao Yihang, who was sitting in the car after being released on bail, recalled the flashback of his first anatomy class.

As the smoke | fog | bombs set up throughout the movie and a tool to create a suspenseful atmosphere, Zhao Yihang is actually a pretty brilliant character.If the acting is good, it can not only arouse the audience's thinking, but also clearly point out the title of the movie and deepen the theme.Moreover, such a role was something that Fei Ran had never encountered before, and it was extremely challenging.

Thinking about it this way... it seems pretty good?Fei Ran, who is optimistic by nature, was immediately comforted by himself, and began to look up information and research characters with great interest.While checking, I was still thinking: When I have free time, I have to find a way to go back to my previous life's home. I can't just lose my treasures like this.

***

On June 6, "The Beginning of Man" started filming at the Beijing Film and Television Base.Fei Ran also met the actor who replaced him as Meng Anguo, an old drama player, You Bei.

Fei Ran and You Bei could be regarded as old acquaintances in his previous life. You Bei played the leading role, and Fei Ran played the sidekicks and subordinates around him. He has collaborated in not only dozens of film and television dramas, but also more than a dozen.You Bei looks very serious, it seems that he is not easy to get close to, in fact...it is really not easy to get close to.

Fortunately, because of the previous cooperation, Fei Ran has a thorough understanding of this veteran actor's temperament.

Youbei thinks old-fashioned, is serious and serious, and hates those things that are empty-headed and sycophant.It's actually very simple to have a good relationship with him, just do your own thing well and don't hold back.

In his previous life, Fei Ran was just a walk-on, and he thought he was not qualified to have a relationship with the protagonist, so except for filming, he never went to the protagonist's side; he rarely NGed when he acted well in his own scenes.If things go on like this, they actually got an account with You Bei, and they often recommend him to the director. It can be said that more than half of the dozen or so plays they collaborated with were contributed by You Bei.

Refreshing the favorability, Fei Ran remembers the experience of the previous life, except for the necessary etiquette, rarely disturbs You Bei, and when there is no play, he just sits and studies the script, or seriously observes other people's performances.After coming and going, when You Bei needs someone to match his lines, he will take the initiative to find Feiran. If there are too many lines to match, the two of them will naturally become familiar with each other, and they can chat a few words about things outside of the play.

This morning, everyone was getting ready in the dressing room when there was a commotion outside.You Bei's assistant trotted in, and whispered excitedly: "It's Zhang Xiuji, Zhang Xiuji has joined the team!"

You Bei's assistant is a little girl who seems to have some kind of relationship with him, so sometimes she seems a bit too lively.You Bei glared dissatisfiedly at the bluffing assistant, and reprimanded: "Come on, come on, why are you so excited!"

The little girl shrank her head, and stood by the door of the dressing room, not daring to make a sound, but her eyes kept drifting outside the door uncontrollably.

Ms. Wen, the make-up artist, laughed when she saw the little girl's sneaky look, "Don't look, other big stars have their own special dressing room, why come here..."

Before the words were finished, several figures appeared at the door of the dressing room, and the person in front raised his leg and entered the door.

The visitor walked up behind You Bei in a few steps, lowered his head in a respectful manner, and said, "Hello, Teacher You." When he looked up, it was Zhang Xiuji, a popular young student.

You Bei greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Xiao Zhang, please sit down."

It was only then that Fei Ran remembered that You Bei and Zhang Xiuji had collaborated on a TV series last year.

After Zhang Xiuji sat down, You Bei pointed to Fei Ran and introduced, "That's Fei Ran, playing Zhao Yihang."

Feiran quickly stood up: "Mr. Zhang is good."

Zhang Xiuji nodded indifferently, and turned to chat with You Bei.Feiran didn't take it for granted, and obediently sat down and listened to the two chatting, waiting for makeup.While listening, I thought about Zhang Xiuji in my heart.

Zhang Xiuji is 24 years old this year. He was born in a talent show. He sings and acts as an actor. A fairy tale drama has established his status as a popular niche.Debuted for five years, held a concert, won the best newcomer award, and has vaguely become the No. 1 trend of the popular niche.

The so-called people are popular right and wrong, Zhang Xiuji is popular, but there are also many scandals.What is playing big names, going to nightclubs, chaotic private life, fake singing, etc., etc., it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

However, through the appearance just now, it is remarkable to see a lot of clues.

Judging from You Bei's attitude, he should appreciate Zhang Xiuji quite a lot, so it can be confirmed that Zhang Xiuji is a serious and responsible person; because of the schedule, he was not able to join the group in time, and he came to greet the senior immediately after entering the group, which seems to be very polite ;No specialization, looks very close to the people, but followed by three assistants; Although he didn't want to talk to the unknown person introduced by You Bei, he still gave a response.

Feiran rubbed his chin in his heart, from this point of view, it is understandable why Du Zhuang chose him to play Fang Mingxuan.It seems that rumors on the Internet that Zhang Xiuji's father is a real estate tycoon are groundless and may not be without reason!

Subsequent filming confirmed Fei Ran's guess, and Zhang Xiuji's performance was remarkable.It can be seen that Fang Mingxuan's character background and personality traits have many similarities with Zhang Xiuji's. Because of this, his acting is particularly natural.

But in the early stage, it was no problem to act in his true colors, but later on, people were sweating for him... Waiting for the scene was really boring, eating carrots and worrying about Fei Ran, and finally waited for his first big scene: the interrogation.

***

A case of strangulation of a female high school student occurred in the city, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau set up a special case team. As the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade was about to retire, the special team was headed by the vice captain Meng Anguo.But a few days later, the police did not find any valuable clues.

When the special case team met again to sort out the case, Fang Mingxuan, a Ph.D. in criminal psychology of returnees, came to the criminal investigation team and pointed out the wrong direction of the special case team's investigation, and asserted that the murderer would commit another crime.

Soon, another drowning case of a female white-collar worker occurred in the city. The two cases had many similarities, which completely matched Fang Mingxuan's profile.According to Fang Mingxuan's profile of the suspect, the special case team identified the suspect—21-year-old medical student Zhao Yihang through investigation.

In the small and quiet interrogation room, a thin man sat behind a desk.He lowered his head, his slightly long hair slipped from the side of his face, covering his expression, only the slender neck, small and delicate chin, and bloodless thin lips could give people a glimpse of what he was doing at this moment. Mood.

The criminal policeman in the monitoring room looked at Zhao Yihang through the one-way mirror, his face full of disbelief: "That's him? It doesn't look like it..."

"If the criminal can be seen with his eyes, it will save a lot of trouble." Fang Mingxuan picked up the sorted physical evidence, turned around and left the monitoring room, "I will interrogate him."

Fang Mingxuan walked forward, and the criminal policeman immediately yelled: "Hey! Who is this! Team Meng, why don't you let him ride on your neck like this to show off?"

Meng Anguo raised his hand and patted the criminal policeman on the back of the head, and scolded, "You're the one who talks a lot of bullshit, work!" After speaking, he looked at Zhao Yihang in the interrogation room thoughtfully.

Fang Mingxuan strode into the interrogation room, stood in front of the table and threw the physical evidence in his hand in front of Zhao Yihang. There was a loud "pop", and the loose folders scattered in response, and several photos flew out. In front of Zhao Yihang.

Except for a few exclamations when he was arrested, Zhao Yihang, who had always been like a puppet made of wood and clay, trembled slightly when he was shocked by the movement, and the photos scattered in front of him made him curl up even more. The trembling lips did not make a sound, but it seemed to be crying silently.

"See clearly? Do you know what these are?" Fang Mingxuan asked slowly, and sat down.

Zhao Yihang pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"It's okay if I don't know, let me tell you." Fang Mingxuan was not surprised by his silence, reached out to pick up the scattered photos, and put them one by one under Zhao Yihang's nose.Put one, explain one.

"These books, found in the shoebox under your bed," are photographs of psychology books such as A History of Sexual Violence, Men Without a Conscience—Those Disturbing Psychopaths, Criminal Psychology" and so on.Next are a few photos of dead animals, and some stills of dead bodies in American dramas, "These are found in your computer. These novels are well hidden, but if I were you, I wouldn't write them down at all." .Even if it’s written down, it will be burned after you’ve had a good time, not hidden in the book cover.”

Throwing down the last two photos, Fang Mingxuan leaned back against the back of the chair and looked at Zhao Yihang leisurely: "Now, tell me, a student majoring in pharmacy, why do you have these things?"

Zhao Yihang was cornered by the photos revealing his greatest secret, and the disgust and sarcasm in Fang Mingxuan's words. He wanted to fight a trapped beast, but his wailing was as thin as a mosquito: "I... I didn't... break the law... ..."

Fang Mingxuan smiled: "Indeed, according to the laws of our country, as long as you don't spread these things, you won't break the law... Then how do you explain that the scene of the crime is exactly the same as the words you wrote!"

Zhao Yihang was frightened by Fang Mingxuan's slap on the table and the sudden increase in volume.

He knew about the recent murders in the city, and that the dead were all women, wearing his favorite white dresses.In the deep night like ink, he also couldn't help fantasizing that it was himself... But what does it mean to be exactly the same as the novel he wrote?Zhao Yihang suddenly panicked.

"What exactly? I don't know!"

"I don't know?" Fang Mingxuan opened the folder, took out the photos of the scene of the crime, and threw them in front of Zhao Yihang's eyes one by one, "You don't know that this girl was strangled to death in the grove on the way home from study at night. You didn't know that this woman was drowned in the bathtub at home? You didn't know that they were all wearing the white skirts written in your novels, and after they died, they were stuffed with foreign objects in their lower bodies?"

How can it be!Zhao Yihang looked at those photos in shock, his whole body trembling like dead leaves in a storm, but his eyes were extremely bright, staring at those wretched women without blinking.He wanted to pick up these photos, but pressed his hands on his knees so hard that the handcuffs made a crackling sound.

After staring at the photo for a long time, he thought of defending himself, but his voice was so weak, with an indescribable depression: "I really don't know... Maybe... Maybe someone saw it..."

Fang Mingxuan showed a smile that was sure to win: "It's ten o'clock in the evening on May [-]th, where are you?"

"I, I'm in the school library..."

"What about NO.13 at eight o'clock in the evening?"

"... surfing the Internet at home..."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"No, no...but I really! I don't know..." Following Fang Mingxuan's interrogation, Zhao Yihang's voice became weaker and weaker, but at the end it suddenly became louder, and his whole body was shocked.For the first time in this room, he raised his head, showing a pale face, looking straight at Fang Mingxuan.But Fang Mingxuan's contemptuous expression seemed to have destroyed his last courage, and disappeared without a trace along with his dissipated ending.

With a triumphant smile, Fang Mingxuan said in a low voice while packing up the physical evidence: "No matter how hard some people pretend, they can't hide their true nature. For example...perverts."

After finishing his lines, Zhang Xiuji looked up at Feiran, but was stunned.

What he said seemed to break something, Fei Ran's eyes were desperate, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, forming a creepy expression on his face.
