The time to terminate the contract with Guangyi coincided with the hit of "Meeting Joy".Li Yu, played by Qiu Xing, frantically swipes the screen. He hangs up on hot searches almost every day and attracts countless fans.Fans finished bragging about his appearance and character, and then started bragging about his acting skills, but in the eyes of passers-by, his character and acting skills are just the same, and no one buys it.

During this period of time, he was busy terminating the contract, signing a new contract, and because of the large wave of scripts and endorsements due to the hit new drama, Qiu Xing and Liu Wei were too busy to touch the ground.

At the end of the day, the person in charge of Guangyi saw that he was showing signs of becoming popular, and regretted it again, and didn't want to let him go.But Qiu Xing has made up his mind, thinking about his new play and new beginning every day, suddenly he is completely relieved of Guangyi, Qiu Renyi, and even Qin Si, but it still took a few days longer, until the middle of June. Terminated the contract.

Qiu Fang didn't expect the ratings of "Meeting Huan" to be so good. Sure enough, this is a society that depends on faces.

And Qiu Xing not only signed to his company, but also brought a lot of resources. Qiu Fang also suddenly realized that even without Ning Jinyue, this is also an artist who should be managed well. Maybe Qiu Xing is more valuable than he imagined. .

Qiu Fang was envious of those chances to attract money, but there was nothing he could do. "Ten Years of Murder" was already on the agenda, and Qiu Xing didn't have much free time.He also didn't dare to use Qiu Xing to make money too much. If Ning Jinyue knew that he used Qiu Xing as a cash cow, he would definitely bite him to death.Recently, Qiu Fang felt more and more that Ning Jinyue was more terrifying than his father, and in the end he could only discuss it with Qiu Xing, and his opinion was the most important thing in everything.

Qiu Xing accepted a small number of commercials and endorsements within his ability. This is his first film, with a good director and crew, and sufficient funds. He wants to make a good film seriously, and he doesn't want to lose the link in this part.

But seeing Qiu Fang's heartbroken expression of "all the ducks in his mouth are flying", Qiu Xing was also helpless: "Mr. Qiu, how about this? I will personally talk to the advertisers and crew who are looking for me, and introduce them For the other artists in the company, if Party A agrees, you will go to contact them."

When Qiu Fang heard Qiu Xing say this, he held Qiu Xing's hand with both hands, and said gratefully: "Brother Xing, from today onwards, you are my real brother."

"I don't promise anything, just say something casually."

"If you open this golden mouth for me, I will repay you even if I am a ghost."

"..."

Qiu Xing had seen Qiu put in front of other artists. Although he was young, he still looked like a boss, but when he was in front of him, he always felt that he was out of shape.

Generally speaking, Qiu Fang treated him very well. He provided convenience to other artists in the company, which can be regarded as helping the company. When the company is well, it is also good for him.

At the end of the month, Gong Qin found Qiu Xing and said that for the sake of the movie, he would take him to experience life.He didn't understand it for a while, so the palace guide explained that he wanted to take him to experience Zhao Haiming's life.

So a few hours ago, Qiu Daxing attended a new product launch event of a luxury brand in the luxury hall of the most advanced Genting Hotel in City B, and arrived in a [-]th-tier town that didn't shit like a bird a few hours later.

This small town is one of the location locations they found for the filming of "Ten Years of Murder". It is the town where the protagonist Zhao Haiming has lived in peace for more than 30 years. When he arrived at the place, Zhao Haiming threw a set of clothes to Qiu Xing and asked him to change in the car. superior.

Qiu Xing and Liu Wei looked at the clothes together. They found a blue short-sleeved shirt and a pair of very rustic trousers, similar to the uniform of a police officer, except that the epaulettes were all removed.

"Don't worry, it's clean." Gong Dao took a look at Qiu Xing, "Put on these clothes, put on a hat and a mask, and no one will recognize you when you walk outside."

Liu Wei asked, "Director, what are you planning to do?"

Gong Qin ignored Liu Wei, and only said to Qiu Xing, "Come on, let your manager go back, and don't bring him here next time."

Liu Wei said without embarrassment: "Director, can't you say such things behind someone's back?"

"It's just for the show, not against you."

Qiu Xing changed his clothes as he said, and also sent Liu Wei away. He put on a mask and wandered around the streets of this small town with Gong Qin.There are only five streets in the town, and the town police station is at the end of the main street. It is a small two-story building with a few police cars parked in a yard in front of it. Occasionally, one or two policemen will come out of the gate.

There is a small square next to the main street. It was already afternoon. After the sun set, the temperature dropped rapidly. Many grandparents took their grandchildren and dogs out for a walk.There are a lot of simple fitness equipment in the northwest corner of the square, and it is gradually becoming lively at this time.

Gong Qin pulled Qiu Xing to sit down on the rest chair at the edge of the square, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep puff.

Qiu Xing didn't know, so he looked at him.

Gong Qin asked: "You also smoke? Would you like one?"

"No."

"Give me one." Gong Qin shook one for Qiu Xing as he said, and handed him the lighter.

Qiu Xing reluctantly lit a cigarette, and asked, "Guardian, what do you want me to do?"

"Look at people."

"Watch people?"

"Yeah, if you want to play a little character, you have to know what the life of the little people is like."

Gong Qin pointed to a middle-aged man and an old man next to a cycling machine in the fitness area.This is the only machine that is vacant, and each of the two holds a handle of the fitness bike, and neither of them intends to let the other.Not long after, the two had already started arguing, and soon the conflict escalated, and the dispute turned into a jostling, and the people around stopped and began to watch the excitement.

But Gong Qin asked leisurely: "Do you think those two will fight soon?"

Qiu Xing looked at this scene with a frown: "What will happen if you fight? What will happen if you don't fight?"

"If the two old men fight, and this place is so close to the entrance of the police station, someone will definitely come to the police to break up the fight. If you happen to find the person, what will you do?"

Gong Qin took another puff of the cigarette, wishing he could smoke half of it in one gulp: "If the old man is obviously not injured, but lies on the ground and insists that he wants to touch porcelain when he is sick, what will you do?"

"What would you do if the middle-aged man was obviously more injured than the old man at this time?"

Qiu Xing also took a puff of cigarette sadly: "What should I do?"

"You play Zhao Haiming, why do you ask me?"

It was the first time in Qiu Xing's life that he fell into this kind of predicament, and felt an unprecedented sense of confusion.

They sat in the square that afternoon until the evening, but the two didn't really fight in the end. When the conflict escalated to the point where they were about to fight, they were pulled away by the people around them.

In the evening, Gong Qin asked Qiu Xing to eat a bowl of beef noodles at a noodle shop by the side of the road, and emphasized to him again the importance of his weight gain.

Dao Gong meant that gaining weight was not only to make him adapt to this role, but more importantly, to break through the inherent image and completely abandon himself. Only when he is completely broken can he be completely reshaped.

After a phone call, Qiu Xing was in a fog.

"The reason why mud can be shaped into any shape is because the mud is very fine, and the finer the material, the more realistic things can be molded. Actors are just like this material. Only when they completely abandon themselves and break themselves can they become such fine pieces." Only materials can create real characters.”

"Do you know what you're trying to smash?"

Qiu Xing shook his head blankly.

"Your appearance, your beauty. You are very good-looking, there is no doubt about it, and I believe you know it yourself. Not only do you know it, but you can use it well, and it has brought you a lot of benefits. The more it is It brings you benefits, the more you need it, the more you want to protect it. However, at the same time, it also puts an absolute label on you and puts layers of shackles on it, allowing you to rely on it without limit."

"If you want to make some breakthroughs in interpretation and become a real actor, you need to break such shackles. You may feel pain, and you may fall from the clouds because of it, but you will definitely discover a wider world."

Gong Qin explained it very clearly, and Qiu Xing gradually understood what he meant, but he just didn't understand that he really needed to break through in acting so urgently?

Seeing Qiu Xing's hesitation, Gong Qin patted Qiu Xing's shoulder: "You have to try it if you want it."

Qiu Xing nodded.

Since the afternoon, Ning Jinyue has been sending messages to Qiu Xing, wanting to ask when Qiu Xing is free and if he can have a meal together.Qiu Xing said that he was not in City B, but Gong Qin was taking him to experience life.

Sitting in the car on the return journey, Qiu Xing also told Ning Jinyue the long speech that Gong Qin gave him, and finally said: "A director who can win awards many times really has a few tricks. The words I said gave me a sense of enlightenment."

Ning Jinyue said after a moment of silence: "Every director hopes that the actors in their hands will become 'sand' that is easy to shape, because they are the craftsmen who hold the sand. You shape a character, and he shapes a story."

"You mean that the palace guide is only for your own convenience?"

"Didn't you also say that he does everything for the film? Of course, you are also for the film. In this point, you are a community of interests. The more actors give up on themselves, the more difficult it is for themselves, but the more difficult it is for the director. Easy, on this point, you are opposite again."

Qiu Xing bit his lip. Of course he knew that gaining weight would be a great harm to him. It was precisely because he hadn't suffered from this kind of hardship and psychological torture for so many years that he kept doing this.On the other hand, Qin Si, because of filming, has been admitted to the hospital several times, no matter how bad the environment is, he will insist on going to the hospital by himself instead of finding a substitute at every turn.Looking at it this way, there is really no reason to complain about Qiu Xing's situation.

Ning Jinyue said again: "In fact, there is no right or wrong, it just depends on personal choice."

"The choice makes me very distressed." In fact, Qiu Xing has already made a choice, but what worries me is the price to be paid.It's like buying a valuable item, knowing that you like it very much, but when you spend your long-term savings to buy it, you still feel distressed. Emotions are really unreasonable.

"I want to see you."

Qiu Xing was still worrying about his choice, when he heard such a sentence suddenly, his reaction was slow for several seconds.

"Meet me? When?"

"tonight."
