Improv [Rebirth]

Chen Yan waited for Qi Andong at home with anxiety.

Ni Zhengqing saw him and Han Tianzong today, and didn't know what he would tell Qi Andong later.He hasn't figured out Ni Zhengqing's character yet, so now he is like Schrödinger's cat, waiting to be sentenced instantly when the door opens.

Fortunately, Ni Zhengqing matched his appearance, and he was not a gossip person. When Qi Andong came back, he seemed to be in a good mood.

As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and asked Chen Yan: "The rough cut of "Returning Journey" is out, do you want to watch it?"

"Can you see it?" Chen Yan was a little surprised.

"How many people have read it," Qi Andong squatted on the ground to adjust the equipment, "After reading it, please comment."

"Which aspect?"

"Of course it's from my side." He turned his head and smiled at him, raising his eyebrows.

Chen Yan turned off the light, drew the curtains tightly, and nestled on the sofa with Qi Andong.The sofa is very spacious, more than enough to seat four or five people, but they have to squeeze together.

When the film is placed on the projector, it can be seen that it is not very detailed, it is only a semi-finished product, but the storyline is already very complete.Qi Andong plays a middle-aged man. The scene in the hospital at the beginning of the story highlights his character—he is cowardly, stutters, and accomplishes nothing. To put it bluntly, he is a waste.

Chen Yan has watched almost all of Qi Andong's plays. He has played many typical roles that belong to girls' dream lovers, and he has also played many tough guys, but there are very few such cowardly small roles.Chen Yan originally thought that his face and figure restricted the way of acting, but looking at it now, he looked like a low-level figure on the screen, which was very different from the one sitting next to him.

He couldn't help turning his head and asked in a low voice: "Will your fans be disappointed when you play this kind of person?"

"Of course not, they like whatever I play." Qi Andong said, staring at him again, "Are you disappointed?"

His eyes were dark, but surprisingly clear in the darkness, like a fire in the wilderness.Chen Yan blushed and shook his head.He thinks that even if someone doesn't like this character, it will never involve Qi Andong himself, because once you see his eyes, you will know that he is still eye-catching and shining.

He heard Qi Andong chuckle.

The movie continues, and this vulnerable man gets involved in a gangland fight - very traditional types, small people and unusual events.The character played by Qi Andong was hunted to the outskirts of the mountain. When he was stumbling and trying to hide himself, he saw a tortured body in the woods that hadn't decomposed yet.

At the same time, the second line also unfolds. Ning Zhixin plays a high-spirited young man who is the crush object of many girls at school.That night, he went home with his friend. Halfway there, the friend suddenly found that the house key had been left in the classroom. Since the friend was going to attend his girlfriend's appointment, Ning Zhixin agreed to help him get the key back to school.

Ning Zhixin is looking for keys in the deserted campus, and Qi Andong is being chased by the underworld boss. These two lines intersect, accompanied by the shaking of the camera and a large number of rotations, making people dizzy, as if in a dream.

In the panic-stricken silence, Ning Zhixin was stunned by someone who suddenly appeared behind him covering his mouth, dragged him to the mountain behind the school, and suffered brutal abuse and sexual assault. The one with blood on his face was caught in front of the boss.

After torturing the victim, the prisoner turns away and doesn't even show his face throughout the film.The death of Ning Zhixin behind him overlaps with the corpse Qi Andong met at the beginning of the movie, letting the audience know that this is the boy who was tortured and killed.On the other side of the story, the gang boss looked at Qi Andong who had wiped his face clean, and called out his name in shock.

Finally, Qi Andong left along the mountain road.The boss not only let him go, but also sent him down the mountain himself.They walked halfway, Qi Andong suddenly stopped while looking at a certain direction in the distance.He said softly but firmly: "Should, should, it should be...you..."

He has a lisp and it takes a long time to say a complete sentence.

"It should be you, lost, lost that key..."

The dead wood is rustling by the wind, and the camera flutters high with the fallen leaves, bringing in a montage, which seems to be a revolving lantern for the character of Qi Andong, just like the short paragraphs at the end of "American Beauty", showing the tragedy of his life.

He walked down the mountain, where there was a rusty gate, which was vaguely seen as a school, but it had obviously been abandoned for many years.

He walked silently, his footsteps were unsteady, and his bloated and old back was like any failed and despised middle-aged man in the world.

The subtitles hadn't been made yet, and the film went straight into darkness after the film ended.

Qi Andong turned on the light and saw Chen Yan looking at him silently.

"What's wrong?" he asked with a smile.

Chen Yan suddenly jumped up and hugged him vigorously, wrapping his arms around him and clasping his hands behind his back, as if trying to lock him in his arms.Qi Andong was caught off guard.

He could feel the surging emotion in Chen Yan's embrace. Although it was short-lived, it was more exciting than their countless times of tenderness.He froze on the spot, as if the hug had awakened him from his false dream, he suddenly realized that this Chen Yan—the Chen Yan who was holding him at this moment, was the one he liked at the beginning.

Even though he knew very well in his heart that Chen Yan just felt compassion for the character in the movie and empathized with him, he still hugged him tightly.He once again experienced the feeling of heartbeat at the beginning, and was glad that Chen Yan was by his side now.

No matter what Chen Yan looks like now, whether it's for money or profit, his heart is still there, and that's enough.

While holding him, he felt that he was actually a very easy to satisfy person.

After Chen Yan calmed down, they began to talk about the movie.Chen Yan was a little excited, with trembling in his words, he talked about a lot of structures, settings, Qi Andong listened patiently for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "What about me?"

Chen Yan blinked, looked away shyly like the first time they met, and whispered: "You acted very well."

"What else?" He expected him to say more.

But Chen Yan really couldn't say anything, he stammered and said: "It's just very good, I can't find any faults, every movement of yours is in place, no, it's not in place, it's in the play. "

Qi Andong was a little disappointed, but also a little happy. He could tell that Chen Yan really liked his play.

Chen Yan was embarrassed by his loss, but every compliment he said at this time was sincere.No matter what Qi Andong has done in his previous life, he has no choice in acting, and has always been Chen Yan's favorite actor.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Ning Zhixin is not as good as you. He seems to act well, but in fact, it's all superficial. There is a big difference between his high-spirited and hurt and painful expressions, but his temperament has not changed. He can only deceive ordinary people. audience."

"That's it," Qi Andong said proudly, "Who made him insist on acting with me, and the comparison with other people's acting is not so obvious."

Chen Yan said with a smile: "It's because they like you that they desperately want to play with you."

"What do you like about me?" Qi Andong curled his lips, "Believe it or not, Bao Zhun completely forgot about me when he met someone even more awesome?"

"Are you sour?"

"Bullshit," he cursed, anyway, he doesn't have much image in front of Chen Yan now, "I don't even want him to send me off like that."

He paused for a while, seeing that Chen Yan didn't speak, and didn't have any special reaction, and then said: "Lin Xiao also said that he has good acting skills and a little bit of talent, but he doesn't pay much attention to acting."

Chen Yan cooperated with him and laughed a few times, but wondered if Ning Zhixin knew that his brother An Dong was talking about him behind his back.Thinking about it, his heart felt cold, and thinking about what Qi Andong would say about him outside, his smile became forced.

Qi Andong didn't seem to notice, and asked him if it was still early and if he wanted to watch another movie.Both of them are in the film and television industry. Watching movies is a compulsory course, and they have to watch them all day long, so they don't feel bored.

"Okay," Chen Yan said, "It's up to you."

"Mine?" Qi Andong smiled, "Okay, which one do you want to watch, or I'll give you the title of the movie to see if you haven't seen it."

"Then don't waste your saliva, I've seen all your films."

"Really." He said with disbelief.

"Really," Chen Yan sat cross-legged on the sofa and drank yogurt, "Go get it if you don't believe me, take one and I'll tell you the storyline."

Qi Andong really went to the room and took out a box, waved at him, and threw it into his arms precisely.Chen Yan looked down, but he really hadn't seen it.

The list of actors was written on the back of the box. Chen Yan went down one by one and didn't see Qi Andong's name at the end, so he threw the box at him and said, "If you can't get it out, you can't get it out. It's not fun."

"Nonsense, am I this kind of person?" Qi Andong squinted at him, and put the disc into the machine.

The movie is a remake of an old movie, and both the technology and the style are very outdated, which makes people yawn.Chen Yan sat obediently for an hour and a half, staring at the screen without saying a word of gossip, but in the end he still couldn't be seen anywhere.

He poked Qi Anton's arm with the corner of the yogurt box from the beginning to the end in his hand: "You still said you didn't play tricks, how could you?"

Qi Andong laughed loudly, rewinded the film to the first half, paused at a certain frame, pointed at the screen and turned to Chen Yan and said, "Did you see it?"

Chen Yan stared at it for 30 seconds, was defeated, and honestly said: "No."

Qi Andong laughed even more happily. He ran to the screen like a child, and drew a small circle on the screen with his fingertips, circling one of the large corpses lying on the ground.

In the center of the screen is a close-up of the male protagonist, and the corpse is in a small corner on the lower right.

Qi Andong tilted his face slightly, the light from the projector fell on his brow bone and the bridge of his nose, the floating dust swam in the light beam, and the mottled shadows made him look more handsome, far more eye-catching than the thick-browed and big-eyed protagonist in the movie.

Chen Yan looked at him, speechless.

Qi Andong raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes hit his heart. Chen Yan was the only one in those wildfire eyes.He asked him very tenderly: "See now?"

Every actor knows which angle he is the most charming, and he does not hesitate to show his extraordinary charm.Chen Yan knew this, so he felt that Qi Andong was deliberately seducing him.

If not, why did he show his affection so clearly?
