Superstar Aspirations

The bright lights illuminate the set, and the staff of the prop team are doing the final inspection.The actor who played the corpse had already been lying on the dissection table, and a blue-cyan special effect film was directly put on his right hand.During post-compositing, the staff will directly P off his hand, creating the effect of "cutting off the right hand by the murderer".

This scene is a group play, Rong Xu, Bo Xiwen, Ren Shuzhi and Ma Qi all have roles in it.

Facing her brother's tragic death, Li Xiao, the younger sister played by Ren Shuzhi, naturally cried bitterly, wishing to catch the murderer immediately.In contrast, Rong Xu has to show the image of a calm and rational professor. He will calmly analyze the criminal's behavior and draw a preliminary portrait of the crime.

So in this scene, Li Xiao's distraught and Xue Jiazhe's indifference formed a sharp contrast, which was very impactful.

Eight cameras were set up in all directions. When Director Yuan shouted "Action", Ren Shuzhi, who was standing in the center of the set, burst into tears.In those beautiful eyes, eye drops kept flowing down, and the special eye drops for crying scenes made her eyes a little red, making her look even more sad and desperate.

She approached the dissection table step by step from the door of the dissection room. As a family member of the victim, this was the first time she saw her brother who died tragically.Ren Shuzhi's acting skills are definitely not that good, but for this kind of strong scene, she performed well: after all, she only showed the appearance of crying bitterly, as long as she cried like a ghost, she could pass the test.

And the protagonists of this scene are Rong Xu and Bo Xiwen.

Xue Jiazhe and Tan Yangxuan had already arrived at the dissection room. The expert in criminal psychology was wearing white gloves, looking indifferently at the victim's severed hand and the knife wound on the victim's chest.His expression was almost heartless, as if he was not looking at a human being, but a prop.

White light flashed through his cold eyes, Xue Jiazhe looked up at Tan Yangxuan who was beside him.

Tan Yangxuan immediately asked seriously: "Did you find anything?"

However, at the next moment, Xue Jiazhe smiled lightly, raised the corners of his lips, and said calmly, "Push my glasses." His voice was cold and clean, and accompanied by Ren Shuzhi's howling, there was a gentle and calm demeanor.

Tan Yangxuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked down at Xue Jiazhe's hands that had touched the corpse.He suddenly realized, and quickly helped his old classmate straighten his glasses.

Then, Xue Jiazhe continued to observe the corpse.

After a while, just as Li Xiao was crying out of shape, he took off his gloves, walked to the sink in the dissecting room, and said in a calm voice: "The knife wound on the chest is a fatal wound, and you will die with one knife. I'm not a forensic doctor, but his right hand should have been cut off during his lifetime."

Tan Yangxuan immediately replied: "Yes, the hand was cut off first, and then the fatal injury to the heart." After a pause, Tan Yangxuan quickly added: "There is no anesthetic in his blood test."

The sound of splashing water immediately sounded in the dissecting room, and Xue Jiazhe suddenly chuckled.

This laughter stopped Li Xiao's crying, and everyone turned to look at him.I saw a tall and thin young man standing in a blind corner of the light, leaning slightly, cleaning his fingers seriously.He obviously put on gloves when he touched the corpse just now, but now, he is still washing every corner of his fingers carefully, as if even a little bit of invisible dust in the nails needs to be cleaned.

His thin lips curled up in an imperceptible arc, and behind him was a body without temperature, but he didn't seem to notice anything, calm and peaceful as if he was attending a party.

When the script came to this point, Li Xiao, played by Ren Shuzhi, was already angry with this strange man.Her brother died innocently and tragically. This person has been looking at his brother's wounds. He is not a forensic doctor, and he has no respect for the dead at all, and he is still laughing now!

But next, Xue Jiazhe's words will make her even more angry.Washing his hands, the psychology expert said, "Since the right hand was chopped off before death, it must be very painful, and the victim would struggle. But the incision is so smooth, it is obvious that the prisoner has long been good at this move—— To chop off someone's right hand, one must have certain medical knowledge, know the bone structure of the human body, and be able to chop off someone's right hand with the fastest speed and the most labor-saving way."

After finishing the words, Xue Jiazhe turned off the faucet, as if he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, this corpse weighs at least 100 kilograms. It is very interesting to be able to find the gaps between the bones from such a thick layer of fat."

Li Xiao fell silent slowly, but Tan Yangxuan asked, "What else?"

Xue Jiazhe turned around: "He was killed with a knife, and there was no second wound. What can he prove?"

Tan Yangxuan thought for a moment: "The prisoner knows how to kill people. Just like being able to cut off his right hand perfectly, he has certain medical knowledge. Of course, he may also be a butcher."

Xue Jiazhe shook his head, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "Not only that, but it also proves that he didn't know the deceased."

Tan Yangxuan was stunned for a moment.But at the next moment, he suddenly remembered: "Isn't this for sure? We checked the information of the previous six victims. They have nothing in common, and there is almost no overlap in their social networks. This prisoner probably didn't know all the deceased."

Xue Jiazhe raised his eyes, his gaze pierced through the cold lenses, and stared straight at Tan Yangxuan.

"People's social network is a very strange thing. No one can tell clearly how many people a person knows, even he himself cannot explain." After a pause, Xue Jiazhe continued: "The reason why he said he didn't know the deceased is because Because as long as it is not a performative crime, it is impossible to end the killing with just one knife. It takes at least ten seconds for the deceased to die before he can really die. In ten seconds, he can stab another twenty to thirty at most. knife, but the prisoner didn't do that."

Tan Yangxuan was still a little dazed: "This probably proves that the prisoner is very confident and knows that he can kill the victim with one blow?"

Xue Jiazhe laughed helplessly: "Is your IQ all packaged for your well-developed limbs, classmate Tan? There is no trace of binding on the face of the corpse, which shows that the deceased saw the criminal coming to kill him. Facing a The eyes of people you know, from a psychological point of view, will produce a state of tension and fear. Once the knife is stabbed, the victim struggles, and the prisoner is nervous, so he stabs the second time. From the past cases, there are very few victims There is only one wound on the body, usually accompanied by multiple wounds and a fatal wound."

The ability to read lines is a compulsory course for every actor.

Lines seem to be very simple, just speaking from the mouth, but in fact, this is an important part of an actor's acting skills.Just like Ren Shuzhi, Director Yuan was very disappointed with her acting skills, so Director Yuan specially found a screenwriter yesterday, which greatly reduced Ren Shuzhi's lines, and only gave her a role, but no lines.

For an actor with good lines, he will make you feel like you are in the scene when he speaks a sentence; for an actor with poor lines, you feel like you are reading when he speaks, simply reading the words on the script, which is very impressive. play.

In order to rescue such actors, the value of voice actors is reflected.Although the dubbing of a work is not necessarily due to the actor's poor line skills, actors with poor line skills definitely need dubbing.

In today's scene, Rong Xu's lines totaled nearly a thousand words.Whether they can recite all the lines is already a test for actors.Usually this kind of scene is shot in different shots, divided into small sections and shot continuously.

But Director Yuan is a director who likes to use long shots very much.Last night he purposely found Rong Xu and asked if he could memorize the [-]-character lines, Rong Xu smiled without hesitation: "Yes."

So, there is today's scene.

The young man's cold, almost indifferent voice sounded in the empty studio. He enunciated his words clearly, and his voice had a strange ups and downs.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Rong Xunian's lines are full of emotion and cadenced.Because Xue Jiazhe is not a passionate person, he is cold by nature, just a gentleman on the surface.So Rong Xu's tone was actually quite flat, as if he was stating a fact.However, as he was talking, many of the onlookers slowly entered the scene, as if they also began to think little by little following his questions.

Why is it said that the prisoner must not have known the victim?

Why is it said that the prisoner is a person between 25 and 35 years old, 1.8 meters to 1.8 meters five in height, 60 to 75 kg in weight, with a bachelor’s degree or above, wearing glasses, left-handed, and a person who likes music and painting?

It doesn’t matter if you know the height, weight and age of the other party, why can you be sure that the prisoner wears glasses, is left-handed, and likes music and painting? !This is not scientific at all!And you also said that the prisoner despises the victim from the bottom of his heart. In the prisoner's heart, the victim should be a criminal who made a big mistake.

According to the script, the victim's sister finally couldn't bear the anger in her heart at this time, she rushed forward and pushed Xue Jiazhe hard.This came very suddenly, Xue Jiazhe took two steps back unexpectedly, bumped into the sink, and made a loud "bang--".

Tan Yangxuan was stunned, and Xue Jiazhe was also supporting the sink with one hand, unable to react.

At this time, it was Ren Shuzhi's role, and she cried again and roared loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! My brother has never done anything wrong. He keeps his own place, and his colleagues always say that he is a good person , is an honest man, he paid for me to go to college, he paid for my education for me, and he has never had a girlfriend, nor has he married or started a business! What do you know! "

Looking at the scene on the monitor, Director Yuan frowned dissatisfiedly. He was about to call out, but at this moment, Rong Xu smiled softly.

Everyone immediately turned to look at him, only to see that he raised his hand and gently took off the glasses under the bridge of his nose, slowly raised his eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a searchlight, and he stared at Ren Shuzhi with a smile. Under his gaze, everything It seems to be transparent and there is no way to hide it.

The thin lips were slightly open, clarifying the reality straightforwardly and ironically: "There are two different ring marks on the ring finger of the left hand, one deep and one shallow, and there is also a chain-like mark on the neck that is similar to one of the ring marks .”

The handsome and elegant professor raised his steps and walked towards the grieving lady step by step.

"The upper body is wearing a plain black cotton and linen jacket, and the trousers are also the most common style, but his belt is the latest model two months ago, the price is not expensive, and the shape is very strange. This belt was chosen from the hands of a woman. This woman I think I have a bit of taste, but my vision is average. The marks on the victim's neck and the ring finger of the right hand belong to this woman, and they are the same style of couple rings and necklaces."

Ren Shuzhi slowly opened her eyes wide, as if she saw something incredible.

However, it's not over yet.

"There is a hickey on the back, and there is also a hickey on the back of the neck. In terms of the color depth, the one on the neck was left within a week. The same habit of leaving hickeys results in the same marks. This is the same woman. Next. Whores don’t give belts, so it’s not a whore, only a girlfriend.”

Having said that, the handsome and indifferent professor smiled slightly, and said in a gentle, but extremely cruel tone: "Your brother has a girlfriend, and it involves marriage discussions. The other party is over 30 years old and is eager to get married. She is a blue-collar worker. Your brother broke up with each other in the last week, and the two should have had a bad time."

At the end, he turned his head and looked aside, smiling even wider: "Student Tan, am I right?"

Tan Yangxuan stared at his old classmate dumbfounded, and then nodded non-stop: "Yes! I just found out this morning that Li Zhong has an ex-girlfriend who works in a nearby factory. She is 31 years old this year. The two of them almost talked about getting married. On marriage, we broke up five days ago. Because..."

"Because Li Zhong wanted that woman to have an abortion." Xue Jiazhe pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and smiled. His eyes were calm and his smile was warm, but his eyes hidden behind the glasses were not warm at all. He casually glanced at the woman with the most indifferent eyes. A dull woman.

So far, this scene is all over!

In any group play, there must always be a priority.In this scene, Xue Jiazhe is the protagonist through and through, so Rong Xu's performance is very important, whether it can mobilize the atmosphere and let the audience blend in, the performance of Bo Xiwen and Ren Shuzhi is not important, Rong Xu is the key .

However, after the scene ended, the makeup artist immediately entered the set to help with makeup, but Director Yuan played the video repeatedly without saying a word.

He watched it five times, and at the end, he sighed softly, raised his head and said, "Ren Shuzhi make up a scene, this one is off!"

These words reached Rong Xu's ears, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Director Yuan.At the same time, Bo Xiwen and Ma Qi also looked at Director Yuan in surprise, while Ren Shuzhi nodded helplessly, ready to reshoot.

After working with director Yuan for only three days, Rong Xu knew that the director was keen on long shots.

Compared with many crazy art directors, Director Yuan's long shots are not long, the most are only four to five minutes, unlike some directors who pursue art, their long shots can even reach four to five 5 minutes, never switching.However, Director Yuan is very principled. He said that if it is a long shot, it is a long shot. Although it is not strictly a standard long shot shot in one shot, everyone will never stop when they play each other. They will act from the beginning to the end. tail.

But this time, Director Yuan made an exception. He didn't ask everyone to accompany Ren Shuzhi to take another shot, but let Ren Shuzhi retake it by himself.

After Ren Shuzhi finished the reshoot with eye drops, Director Yuan reprimanded complainingly: "Cry, do you cry? You don't cry with eye drops, you cry for real! Rong Xu and Bo Xiwen took such good shots , you can’t cry no matter what, almost wasting a good shot!”

So Rong Xu finally understood that when he took a close-up of Ren Shuzhi for the second time, there were no tears in Ren Shuzhi's eyes at all!

Because the eye drops were all gone, during the second close-up, Ren Shuzhi was almost howling.Human eyes may not be able to see clearly from a distance. After all, her face is covered with eye drops, and it is impossible to tell whether there are tears in her eyes, but the camera can capture them clearly.

Being reprimanded by Director Yuan, Ren Shuzhi's face was a little ugly, but after all, the director is a big one, so she accepted Director Yuan's suggestion with a dry smile.

In the evening, Ren Shuzhi also proposed to have dinner together.

"I was a little late when I joined the crew, and no one had a meal. Today I am treating guests, and I invite everyone to have a meal at Deyueju next door. You don't have to be polite to me."

In the crew, Ren Shuzhi was always warm and generous. After she said this, she settled the table, and everyone happily walked away.

Because she was a singer, Ren Shuzhi didn't drink alcohol, only juice.At the table, everyone except her tasted some wine.He didn't drink much, but he did. Even Rong Xu poured himself a glass of red wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Rosie walked over from the assistant's table and asked Rong Xu quietly: "Xiao Xu, what kind of medicine does this Ren Shuzhi sell in the gourd? It always feels weird to invite everyone to dinner suddenly... of."

Hearing this, Rong Xu was slightly taken aback, thinking for a moment, he smiled and said: "Maybe she wants to make up for it, these days it's always NG things?" Although it's not every day that celebrities treat guests to dinner, Rong Xu used to I've done it several times, it's normal, there's nothing suspicious, it's just to build a good relationship with the crew.

But Rosie frowned and said softly: "I always feel weird..."

That said, but this time, Rosie's sixth sense of women didn't seem to work wonders.

After the crew finished their meal, they walked back to the hotel together.The hotel is right next to the film and television city, and the law and order are not bad. Rong Xu and Luo Xi walked to the front of the line, and they could hear the voices of Ren Shuzhi and Director Yuan chatting and laughing in the distance.

Director Yuan couldn't stop laughing at this moment, he didn't look like he reprimanded Ren Shuzhi in the morning.

Hearing their laughter, the young man raised the corner of his mouth thoughtfully, probably understanding the intention of Ren Shuzhi's move.

Cannibalism is short-mouthed and soft-handed, the old Chinese saying always makes sense.

Soon, Rong Xu got on the elevator in the first group.After saying goodbye to Rosie, he walked to his room alone.

Bright and shining lights illuminated the entire narrow corridor, and the floor was covered with a thick carpet, so that no one's footsteps could be heard.The doors on both sides were tightly closed, and Rong Xu could only hear his own breathing and extremely light footsteps.

Da da, da da——

His room was next to a corner. It was originally at the end of the corridor, but the superstitious Rosie insisted on changing Rong Xu's room. It must not be at the end of the corridor, so he changed to this one.

While walking, Rong Xu took out the key card from his pocket, and the next day's scene appeared in his mind.It was still an indoor scene, taking place in Xue Jiazhe's office.There, Tan Yangxuan brought Xue Jiazhe the latest photos of the scene, and Xue Jiazhe finally decided to investigate the square where the deceased was hanged.

This scene seems very simple, but in fact, from beginning to end, Rong Xu had to act out Xue Jiazhe's duality.

Everything this person analyzes is directed at himself.He clearly knew that he killed these people, but he never showed any emotion. He seemed to be standing by the side, looking at the whole thing with disregard, looking at these victims who were killed by him, and looking at that cold-blooded and ruthless self.

So in tomorrow's most important scene, Rong Xu needs to show Xue Jiazhe's deep indifference.It can be reflected in some small details, and it can also be reflected in the tone of the conversation with Tan Yangxuan, for example, he did not pour a cup of hot water for Tan Yangxuan from the beginning to the end, or...

"clatter--"

The footsteps stopped abruptly.

The boy suddenly passed the corner, and finally saw the man standing at the door of the room, waiting quietly.

The boy's clear eyes slowly opened wide, and a handsome and tall young man was reflected in the clear eyes.With his hands in the pockets of the black windbreaker, his figure was tall and straight, like a perfect statue, waiting calmly and quietly at the door, leaning gently against the wall.When he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned his head slightly and looked at the boy who appeared suddenly with calm eyes.

The white light sprinkled from the top of the man's head, making the thin hair reflect a faint shadow.Those deep phoenix eyes were hidden in this shadow, quietly staring at the young man, watching carefully.

There was silence in the corridor, Rong Xu looked at Qin Cheng in horror, and Qin Cheng lowered his head to look at him.

Both stared at each other, and neither spoke first.One was frightened, but the other seemed to be enjoying this state. Qin Cheng stared at the young man in front of him expressionlessly, only the corners of his lips furtively revealed his happy mood at the moment.

After a long time, Rong Xu finally came to his senses. He subconsciously wanted to ask why the other party suddenly appeared here, but just when he said "you", suddenly!Only a very light footstep sounded from behind him.

The sound of high heels stepping on the carpet was too easy for people to ignore, and Rong Xu didn't notice him until the man approached the corner.He hurriedly looked back, his eyes widening suddenly.

Qin Cheng raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked softly: "Why..."

"boom!"

Without giving the man a chance to speak, Rong Xu directly grabbed his hand, quickly swiped the card to enter the door, and suddenly pressed Qin Cheng against the wall, hooked his left foot, and there was a loud bang, the door opened Close behind him.

Qin Cheng looked at the young man in surprise, and saw Rong Xu pressing his arm with one hand, pressing him against the wall.He was obviously half a head shorter than himself, but the young man looked solemn at the moment, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the gate without blinking.

Qin Cheng: "..."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Cheng moved his hand down silently and shook hands with the young man.

That's it, but Rong Xu still didn't seem to notice, still staring at the door intently.

Qin Cheng's eyes flicked across the young man's face, and finally looked in the direction of the gate.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dark color flashed in his deep and deep eyes, only to hear the next moment, and the crisp knock on the door sounded slowly.

A soft female voice said with a low smile through the thin door panel: "Rongrong, did you forget to take your mobile phone while eating just now? I brought it here for you, please open the door."

The author has something to say: Qin Chengcheng: Hey, Rong Rongbi is a baby, are you ashamed? (????ω????)?.

Rong Rong: (There is someone outside the door, staring)

Qin Chengcheng: Huh, Rongrong didn't notice that the baby was holding his hand~(≧▽≦)/~

Rong Rong: (There are people outside the door, watch!)
