star distance

Back at the residence at night, Qiao Ji once again opened the script left by Yin Nan.

He didn't expect that what he saw would be such a story.

An excellent and gentle protagonist, talkative and funny, seems to get along well with everyone around him, and lives a repetitive but peaceful life like everyone else.Until one day, his neighbor was killed in the locked house.

A beginning that is so common that people can't help but complain about it.

The protagonist begins to face police inquiries, to being suspected, to trying to find the truth in order to remove the suspicion, and he sinks deeper and deeper in the unknown vortex.

The murderer seemed to be around, and everyone around him seemed to be a murderer. He was struggling emotionally and rationally, and watched the people close to him die one by one.

The relatives who depended on each other, the sweetheart whom he had a crush on for a long time, and the colleagues who had a good relationship... He sat in front of the police again and again, and his words became messy. Just when everything was in despair, the story suddenly changed its direction.

The protagonist's words and deeds began to be shown in a clearer appearance. The seemingly normal words were full of contradictions, and the increasingly absurd suspicions made people dumbfounded. His weird behavior and erratic eyes, he was not forced to collapse by reality, but But from the very beginning, he was not a normal person.

This is a schizophrenic.

The ubiquitous surveillance seems to be able to see through his mind at any time. There are always invisible people talking to him, and he is always controlled by invisible forces... What he sees is a world completely different from ordinary people.

On the run, he fights back desperately, erasing reality from his world little by little.

There has never been any murderer, and there has never been any hidden conspiracy. It was he who killed the person he valued with his own hands in delusions and hallucinations.

A downright tragic, almost crazy one-man show, Qiao Ji couldn't calm down until he closed the script.

He was even a little dazed.

Is this really the role Lin Juan wanted him to play?Why?

However, no matter how he thought about it, Qiao Ji had no choice but to give up.

He took a deep breath, and then let out the last trace of depression remaining in his heart, and picked up the envelope beside him, ready to put the script back.

The envelope in his hand was unexpectedly heavy. When he looked inside, he found that besides the script, the original novel was also attached to the envelope.

The book is not thick, probably because it is not a popular work, the cover design is extremely careless, the colorful color blocks piece together a strange pattern, and the huge title is written in crooked words, another world.Under the title is added an extremely bumbling subtitle: Super Sensitive Criminal Psychology Novel.

Qiao Ji picked up the book and read it for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing.

This cover may indeed please Lin Juan.

What does it matter what the story is?The script is already in his hands, and the filming of this movie is about to start. The director is Lin Juan, and there is only one protagonist, and that is him.

that's enough.

***

As soon as the news that Lin Juan was going to make a new movie was announced, it immediately hit the headlines.

After four films, one best actor and one best newcomer, public opinion almost pushed him to the altar.Now, the new work after three years is undoubtedly more exciting.

Therefore, the casting of the new movie is also attracting special attention. After the news that the actor will be played by Qiao Ji was announced, it quickly sparked a new round of discussions. Many people are willing to speculate that Qiao Ji was defeated by the previous star award. Not reconciled, he specially asked Lin Juan to direct him, pointing his sword at the throne of the next Best Actor.

When the theme of the film was made public, public opinion was even more in an uproar.

Without a leading lady, or even a significant supporting role, it's pretty much a one-man show.Coupled with tragedy, suspense...all kinds of elements that seem extremely uncommercial, but make everyone curious, wanting to know what kind of work Lin Juan and Qiao Ji will finally come up with.

There are also more people looking forward to new miracles created by Lin Juan.

But these discussions and expectations have nothing to do with the two parties for the time being.

Qiao Ji felt that he was repeating the nightmare of that year.

From the first day of filming, the familiar ringtone has been ringing in my ears all the time. Lin Juan seems to be addicted to playing it. He presses the bell a hundred or eighty times a day, and he often rings the bell as soon as Qiao Ji moves. To the point of nitpicking.

The number of NGs in the scene being filmed is about to break through three digits. Thanks to the love bonus, Qiao Ji couldn't take it anymore, and asked Qi Qing for a half-hour break.

The clip of his NG just now was also displayed on the white projection screen, and Qiao Ji's somewhat distorted face was on the frozen frame.Several sheets of drawing paper have been changed on the side interface, and the graffiti-style pictures are enough to tell a story.

Qiao Ji knew that his performance was not natural enough, and he also knew what emotions Lin Juan wanted him to express after painting all morning, but probably because he cared too much, he couldn't do it.

"Am I useless?" Qiao Ji sat beside Lin Juan, a little frustrated.

This person chose him and believed that he could do it, but he couldn't.

Lin Juan didn't answer.The young man sitting in front of the monitor is more focused than ever, and this concentration makes him extra alluring.

He was looking at himself with such eyes.

When he suddenly realized this, Qiao Ji felt that his whole body was on fire.

I don't know where that bit of frustration has been thrown, and what's left is the throbbing like a girl's Huaichun.

I want him to look at me all the time, I want him to look at me like this all the time.

A strong desire to express, which came from nowhere, occupied all of Qiao Ji's thoughts, and he suddenly couldn't wait to try again, wanting to fully and perfectly express what he thought in his heart.

***

After filming resumed, almost everyone noticed that Qiao Ji seemed to have changed.

The play is still the same scene, the performance is still the same performance, the expressions and movements seem to be the same, but the appearance he shows is completely different from before.

The well-dressed young man smiled towards the void, as if his sweetheart was standing in front of him, his eyes were gentle and affectionate, almost intoxicating, but he still couldn't erase the creepy mystery.

A "ding" sounded, this time it was not NG, but passed.

Qiao Ji recovered from the crazy state, and almost instinctively looked in the direction of Lin Juan.

Lin Juan was looking down at the monitor, his eyes focused and passionate, as if it was the most perfect thing in the world.

Qiao Ji felt that his heart was about to be ignited by this gaze.For a moment, he wished he could rush over to hug the young man, kiss his eyes, his lips, and every inch of his skin.

"Qiao Ji!" Qi Qing's voice came suddenly, Qiao Ji was startled, and when he came back to his senses in an instant, his face burned.

It wasn't until Qi Qing called his name for the second time that he raised his head stiffly, and saw Qi Qing was beside Lin Juan, waving at him, beckoning him to look over.

The heartbeat was inexplicably chaotic again, Qiao Ji hesitated for a while, and walked over with weak steps.

The clip just shot was playing back on the monitor, and Qiao Ji was attracted by just one glance.

"Is the effect good?" Qi Qing asked with a smile.

Qiao Ji didn't answer, he was shocked by himself in the camera.

Even if he knew that it was him, he would still have the illusion that "that is actually another person".He never thought that his performance at the time would be like this.

This character is so alive that it seems that he will crawl out of the camera at any time, and the strong sense of presence makes people unable to take their eyes off him.

This feeling is something he has never felt in the role he played before.

Qiao Ji suddenly remembered what Wang Yizhi had said to him at that time.

—Have you ever been in a situation where you just...have a relationship or something that you really, really want someone to know about?

His eyes fell on Lin Juan, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to be able to understand a little bit what Wang Yizhi was trying to express at that time.

Look at me, keep looking at me with such intense eyes, never look away.

The author has something to say: By the way, the countdown to the end is about to begin!
