Son of the Bone

It's almost the end of filming.

When Qi Lin called his family every week, he was thinking about how to communicate.

Sometimes my parents would politely ask me if I had a girlfriend, but he would just be vague and didn't explain more.

Some topics can only be discussed in person, and speaking on the phone will only make things more troublesome.

He has been filming with Jiang Jue in the past few months, and he actually has a lot of feelings.

When Jiang Jue and Director Bai were together, they never had to teach.

When Director Bai encounters any problems, he only needs to give him a look and mention a few words, and Jiang Jue immediately enters a better state as if he has been dialed through some key.

But Bai Ping taught Qi Lin in a completely different way.

When Qi Lin collaborated with him on "Golden Key" for the first time, he could feel the magic of this teaching method.

He will set up various scenarios for Qi Lin, or let him experience various tasks to understand the feelings of this character.

For example, before playing Loan, Qi Lin had to deliver couriers and newspapers door-to-door. Even if he didn't even wear a mask, many people didn't bother to look at him.

When playing the innocent and kind Xuan You, director Bai once threw him a bag of cat food and asked him to feed the cat food nearby day after day.

——Stray cats are naturally able to feel the kindness and malice of people. Only after they really enter the state, those cats will approach him tentatively, and even smell his palm.

In addition, Director Bai will spend a long time explaining the core of the characters to Qi Lin, analyzing motivations and contradictions, just like a senior lecturer who should stand in the auditorium of a contemporary theater.

Due to the lack of solid basic skills, the English lines in the last movie were corrected and guided by professional teachers, but the lines in this one still need post-dubbing.

Although Jiang Jue and his father are cooperating in a film for the first time, he has actually been used to his shooting techniques and performance requirements since he was a child. In the past few months, he has almost been at ease, and there are few obstacles that he cannot overcome.

When the two of them acted opposite each other, something unexpected happened.

The two roles played by Qi Lin and Jiang Jue are quite tense, and the characters are also very distinct, but when they actually acted opposite each other, they felt that they were comparable——

Both of them were quite surprised by this matter.

Qi Lin vaguely felt that he had made progress, but he couldn't really surpass Jiang Jue, so he always attributed all these to the good training of Director Bai.

It wasn't until the finale was about to be completed that Bai Ping called him to the studio again.

"I heard that you have booked a flight for the day after tomorrow." He helped Qi Lin pull out the chair, turned around and sat down not far away: "How do you feel after the show?"

Qi Lin still sat a little restrained, and just said in a regular manner: "I have learned a lot from you."

"Is there any question you want to ask?" Bai Ping played with the ballpoint pen in his hand, guiding him unhurriedly: "When the crew is over, if you call me again, I may not be free to answer it."

Qi Lin subconsciously raised his eyes to look at him, held back for a while and asked, "How many years do you think it will take me to surpass Jiang Jue?"

Or, will it never be possible?

In fact, this question sounds crazy, but it is very juvenile.

Qi Lin will always remember the feeling of watching "Dragon Blood Seal" in the screening hall with Lin Jiuguang that day.

When he saw Tantai Ming dragging his long robe towards the jade steps, he felt that even the blood in his whole body was boiling.

The desperate desire to compete with him, to beat him and win him, came spontaneously when he felt Jiang Jue's powerful ability.

But now when I am acting in "Fairy Painting", I don't have much of this feeling.

The background is fake, the props are fake, and the light effects and magic effects are added later.

The actors stretched out their hands and chanted the mantra, as if they were doing radio gymnastics in the air. Even the magic circle was added with light effects in the later stage, and it was also paired with the middle two to give a sense of oppression——

After several months of acting, he didn't even know what the scene would look like in many scenes. If we really want to talk about getting into the play, in fact, he hasn't felt the same as when he acted in "The Little Prince".

"Exceed?" Bai Ping chewed the word for a while, then asked, "What is excess?"

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, but didn't give an answer right away.

"If the awards exceed, if there is a more suitable book, maybe you will get the best actor earlier than him."

"If the number or quality of works exceeds, it depends entirely on how much work you two will give yourself in the future."

"What about acting skills?" Qi Lin asked subconsciously, then lowered his head again: "I feel that I am still too far behind him."

"Acting skills..." Bai Ping rubbed his shaved chin, thinking, "Acting skills are all shown in the works."

Some people may play any villain so vividly, and they will be blinded as soon as they change roles, but you can't say that they have no acting skills.

There are also people who act decently in almost everything, but when it comes to his masterpieces, no one has any impression.

He took a piece of paper from the side and drew two little people on the paper.

One is a silhouette made of lines, and the other is a stick figure with only a skeleton.

"Look here." Bai Ping tapped the cap of his pen and said, "The one with only one skin is you."

The school's education, Bai Ping's guidance, and Qi Lin's own comprehension are leading him to continuously shape the shell and fill the inside.

"And this one, with a complete skeleton, is Jiang Jue."

His long-term social experience and rich performance experience make him full and clear from the inside out.

"Solid basic skills and rich practical experience are actually for the purpose of allowing people to control the role faster."

The balance of ability cannot represent the prominence of a person.

Bai Ping paused for a moment, then slowly said: "However, if you only discuss honors such as competing for the gold medal or best actor, you are actually on the same starting line."

This starting line, as long as you take a step forward, you will be successful.

There is no such thing as how many steps to take, or how much progress has been made.

But the premise of going out is to be able to find a good enough book and a character that fits well.

——However, it is actually impossible to find a role that is almost tailor-made.

Therefore, using almost all of your acting skills, using a strong enough acting ability, and allowing yourself to get close to the characters in the script infinitely is the prerequisite for performing a classic.

Give him bones, give him flesh and blood, give him enough charming soul.

Listening to his explanation, Qi Lin became even more confused.

It's really not easy for people to figure out what they want.

I love film art, what I want is the box office, is it a classic role handed down from generation to generation, or a gold trophy bestowed by an academy?

I want to beat Jiang Jue, what exactly is it?

"You seem to be confused by me." Bai Ping laughed, and said casually: "Jiang Jue's next target is any one of the three gold and three."

"This kid has already started picking scripts, but he just hasn't seen a suitable one."

At the age of 32, Jiang Yanzhi took away the trophy from behind-the-scenes, and then went straight to study jewelry design—for the sake of how dirty the film and television industry is today, this kid should turn around slowly.

Qi Lin chatted with him for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

The moment he walked out of the studio, he vaguely felt that something had come to his mind.

I should polish my ability and find a more suitable notebook.

"Fairy Painting" is coming to an end, but there are still many things that have just begun.

Not long after Qi Lin left, Jiang Jue entered the studio again.

Bai Ping was on the phone with the doctor to confirm the situation. When he saw his son coming suddenly, he just signaled him to sit down and wait a while, and then told the doctor to pay attention to his wife's heart rate.

"What's the matter?" He hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Jue, who was in deep thought.

"When I got back on the day I finished, there was an exam at the school."

"Yeah." Bai Ping said slowly, "Your mother will be taken care of by me, so don't think too much about it."

"dad."

"how?"

"I still haven't figured it out." Jiang Jue lowered his head and said slowly, "Why did I lose the best actor for Jin Wutong."

He even felt that "Dragon Blood Seal" might not have too much splash.

The box office is mediocre and the praise is quite high, but it may not necessarily bring him final affirmation.

At first, my mother said, 'I will teach you after you know it. '

At that time, he was a little irritable, and he only thought about how to refute her with actual confrontation.

But after the "Dragon Blood Seal" played a complete set, I was also taught by the seniors to be speechless.

"Dad. I now know what it means not to." He lowered his head and said slowly, "But this 'will', I still don't understand what it takes to be considered able."

Bai Ping listened to him patiently, then reached out and rubbed his head.

Jiang Jue didn't like this action at first, but in order to get an answer, he let him rub his hair into a bird's nest again.

Bai Ping couldn't help laughing, got up and poured him a cup of hot water, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever written a composition?"

From childhood to adulthood, students have to learn to write essays.

In the beginning, only a small diary was used, and then it was [-] words. In junior high school, it was [-] or [-] words, and in high school, it was more than [-] words.

It's a lot like homework in film schools these days.

First acted in sketches, then acted in short plays, then reproduced fragments of well-known dramas, and finally began to try micro-movies and whole stage plays.

The subject matter has gradually been restricted, and the assessment requirements have been continuously refined, and there are also requirements for various formats and depths.

Today's Jiang Jue writes well in argumentative essays and scores well in narrative essays, so he is a qualified student. Passing does not mean that he really understands.

To be able to surpass countless competitors around you, and to be able to get exceptional full marks requires not only Wen Zao’s gorgeous and profound ideas, but also requires the writer to have an innovative and unique side——

Only he can play such an article, such a role, and only he can reach this height.

The word 'will' is outstanding in reading and writing.

Only when he can really find his own performance characteristics and create a unique character, even if others can imitate but cannot catch up, can he be finally recognized.

——The Yue Yu in "Star Journey" is a qualified character, but not a unique one.

Jiang Jue just fulfilled all the requirements of the director and screenwriter.

Only when he finally climbed to the top of the mountain can he understand and integrate more unique features of the pioneers, innovate his personal style, and create more incomparable characteristics.

The foundation and experience should be polished by the teacher and countless works.

What Jiang Yanzhi can really give him is another pair of wings above the peak.

"I didn't mention this to you when I was filming "Fairy Paintings." Bai Ping lit a cigarette for himself, and said slowly, "Because if I put forward these requirements for you and let you deepen and shape this character yourself, I won't let you down." I don’t know how many years it will take for this crew to finish filming.”

Jiang Jue held his teacup tightly, lowered his head to hide his expression.

He never thought about it in this direction.

"You think you've worked very hard. It's true." Bai Ping took another puff, wondering whether his wife would have someone to help tickle her in the ward, so she sighed softly.

"But hard work is just a prerequisite, you still have to use your brain."

Jiang Jue didn't refute from the beginning to the end, just quietly listening to him finish everything he said.

The feeling of growing up may be so embarrassing and tormenting.

Mingming feels that he has surpassed many of his peers, and obviously already has achievements that he can be a little proud of.

But when I looked up, I found that I was just getting started.

The more mature you live, the more you understand your ignorance and incompetence.

Even though he was conflicting with these truths in his heart, he still wanted to grit his teeth and move on.

"I'll do it," he said.

Bai Ping turned to look at him, put down his cigarette and nodded.

"You'll do it," he repeated. "Not because you're our kid, not because you have to get those awards."

"It's because you are Jiang Jue."

It is a unique Jiangjue.

-2-

When Qi Lin came back by plane, the family was making dumplings again.

Today, I made fennel pork stuffing and carrot beef stuffing. The shallots were chopped into a small pot, and even the air smelled of flour mixed with fresh meat.

After Mr. Qi met his friend's car accident, he really thought about it for a long time, and began to gradually decentralize power and reduce administration, hand over more things to his subordinates, and spend more time with Wu Qiuyi.

Ms. Wu originally had a rather strong personality, she refused to be lazy and let go of everything, and wanted to do everything better than everyone else.

But she also gradually began to understand that she is really old, and sometimes she really needs to rest and relax, and learn to give up the work to those young new doctors.

The rice dumplings made with rice wine are cooked at home, and a sip of the sweet and fragrant soup can drive away the cold air brought by the outside.

It snows heavily in winter, but the house is so warm that the windows are covered with thick fog.

In the living room, a program from the entertainment channel was playing, and the soundtrack happened to be a song written by Qi Lin in the past.

When Wu Qiu saw his son came back, he didn't even bother to wipe the flour on his hands, so he went over to help him carry his luggage.

"I am back--"

"Lao Baike finally let you back." Mr. Qi went over to hand his son a freshly cut big mango, raised his eyebrows and said, "After the filming of this movie is over, take a good rest. You have never had a vacation in the past two years."

"Let's go to Hawaii as a family later?" Wu Qiuyi said casually, "I heard that there are many beautiful girls there, why don't you come back for fun, our son is not single anymore."

Qi Lin's heart moved, he just put down the plate and washed his hands, and helped them peel the peas and vegetable stems.

After this meal, he took the initiative to get up again, not only washed the two stacks of pots and dishes in the kitchen, but also wiped the desk and table clean.

Ms. Wu didn't know why her son was so diligent all of a sudden, so she just chatted with his father in the living room, eating melon seeds.

After Qi Lin finished his work, he took deep breaths in the kitchen, adjusted his emotions, and reorganized his words again.

I have to take responsibility, I should be responsible for this matter.

The moment he pushed open the door, countless thoughts of running away and procrastination flooded into his mind, and almost every step he walked, there was a voice in his heart that advised himself—"Forget it, wait until next time. "

He turned off the TV and sat across from his parents.

"Dad, Mom, I have something to talk to you about."

Qi Ding hasn't seen his son so serious for a long time.

Wu Qiu was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "What's the matter, I dare not sit here? It's all right, all right, we all know that you were protecting Brother Xiao Jiang, and the company has been doing public relations. "

Qi Lin vaguely felt tears welling up, but his expression was still calm and composed when facing them.

"I've actually been in love for two years."

"The person I like is Jiang Jue."

The atmosphere seemed to freeze suddenly.

Bai Ping and Jiang Yanzhi have been abroad for too long, and they are open-minded and respect every choice of their children. The cultural environment in which the two of them live determines their cognition.

But the Qi family's parents may not be able to accept this immediately.

Wu Qiu opened his mouth to say something, but felt that he had heard it wrong: "Do you like—Lao Jiang's—son?"

Qi Ding had already had a premonition, and didn't want to intervene. At this moment, he was afraid that his wife would be emotional, so he grabbed her shoulders in advance.

He could even feel his hands trembling.

If these two children are together, they may not really be blessed by everyone until the same-sex marriage law is passed in the country.

At least for now, it's just that the wind can be heard.

"Don't be angry with Jiang Jue..." When Qi Lin spoke again, he was still quite flustered: "I..."

Wu Qiu stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, and it took a while before he opened his mouth.

"Linlin."

"It's not easy for you to talk to your mother about this..."

How many times have you thought about it before you dare to say these words.

Qi Lin's eyes turned red in an instant, and he shook his head holding back his emotions.

She stretched out her hand in the air again, and signaled Qi Lin opposite to come and sit beside them: "Come and sit down."

So the parents quietly listened to him finish the ins and outs, listened to all his plans and ideas, without interjecting a word.

Qi Lin could hardly remember how he organized the language in the kitchen, he just tried his best to show his reliable side.

He and Jiang Jue can go abroad to get married, they have the ability to face the future - he is serious, not just for fun.

He considered his tone to express his sincerity as much as possible, hoping to make his parents not too frustrated by this, but his heart was always wavering and uneasy.

As soon as Wu Qiu leaned against Qi Ding, his hands and feet felt rather cold.

In fact, when she was chatting with colleagues and friends, she always boasted that she would be a very good mother-in-law and would never cause trouble for her future daughter-in-law.

Colleagues are always joking, a boy as handsome as Xiao Qi must find a very good-looking girlfriend.

But now, these things have to be faced by them together.

"Two years." She murmured, "I suddenly don't know what to say."

Qi Ding put another coat on her and comforted her: "Don't be sad, it's not a big deal."

Qi Lin hadn't felt this sorry for a long time.

This kind of guilt, not because I am gay, is a role that domestic conservatives fiercely oppose.

It's because my own choice actually trampled and destroyed many of my parents' designs and expectations for the future.

Parents are as profound as their lovers—they will think about everything related to themselves in almost every moment in the future.

When you want to hug your lover, you will leave a back view for them.

"Don't be sad either," Wu Qiuyi stretched out his hand to hold his hands, adjusted his breathing and tried to smile, "Your father and I are not rigid people, we can try our best to understand you."

In fact, they have seen many homosexuals in their daily life, and they have never felt disgusted.

But when you really find out that your children are also the same, you will still feel pity and worry from the bottom of your heart.

There are too many pressures and dangers to bear in this role.

"In fact, as long as it is not exposed to the media, many things are easy to cover up." Qi Lin tried his best to pass the temperature of his palm to his mother, and continued: "We have been very careful in the past two years, and we have always been just ordinary friends outside. , dare not hold hands."

Wu Qiu turned his head and glanced at Qi Ding, who was smoking a cigarette, and said slowly, "I trained your father a long time ago."

Qi Lin is an idol, and idols in the industry should never fall in love.

He was originally the expectation and longing of countless girls, playing the role of a perfect and charming existence like god statues and pottery puppets, hiding all shortcomings, and making countless fans happy and happy with his face and hormones.

Once an idol falls in love and gets married, it is tantamount to smashing the fantasies of these fans who want to be with them forever, smashing their illusion that they seem to have him, dispelling those fanatical and beautiful feelings, and forcing them to face the cold reality again .

Qi Ding opposed Qi Lin's relationship at the beginning, but he was actually afraid that he would be attacked because of this.

"I always tell your father that no matter whether Qi Lin is outstanding or a failure, he is a healthy person first." Wu Qiuyi squeezed his son's hand, and said in a more serious tone: "People should be respected when they are alive. rights. No outsider, for whatever reason, may interfere with his fundamental freedoms as a human being.”

She has seen too many births, old ages, illnesses and deaths in the hospital, so she respects life extraordinarily.

"Qi Lin, your father and I must have a lot of expectations for you, and we will definitely feel regretful because of this incident." Wu Qiuyi looked into his eyes and said seriously: "But you have to understand one thing. You are free of."

You are a child born to us, but not a puppet to meet all our expectations.

Since the parents who gave birth to you have no control and intervention, you should cherish every moment of life and every choice you can make.

Qi Lin looked at them, and the tears that he had endured for a long time finally flowed down.

The tears are not only because of this moment, but also for the 20 years they have given themselves.

The author has something to say: the sentence in the original text about "may go abroad to seek help from a legal surrogate" has been deleted.

The original setting of the plot is that after the two got married, they legally surrogate in the United States/Canada/Russia and raised a pair of twins together.

All have also been removed.

The author himself has no idea of ​​advocating the legalization of surrogacy in China, [the national conditions are different / the degree of legal system construction is different / the ethics are different, so they cannot be generalized].

The reason for the deletion is to avoid possible future disputes and deliberate smearing, thank you for reminding me in the comment area.

--------

Is this chapter written too seriously and chicken soup... The main thing is that there are some things that need to be explained clearly.

And I have to explain what it is to win the actor!Bold!

Well, after that, it will be the happy part of the two of them transforming and challenging themselves. Of course, Jue Jue has passed the drama and is going to act in a sitcom.

Everyone can guess what Qi Lin is going to do~
