pure white crown

This is a small wooden building with three floors and a yard.

The small wooden building is an inn.

The first floor is the lobby and the kitchen for merchants traveling from north to south to rest and eat; the east half of the second and third floors are guest rooms for guests to rest, and the west half are the rooms for the shop owner and the staff.

Because this inn is located in an important place between the north and the south, it was full every day during the three years of operation by the owner.

A couple earning a lot of money discussed inviting carpenters to build another floor on the fourth year of Chinese New Year, which expanded the business to accommodate more guests and celebrated their upcoming third birthday. children.

But at the beginning of the fourth year, the horn of war sounded when everyone was unprepared.

The people from the north came and went.

In this critical place, everyone who could run away was gone, leaving only the small three-story wooden building, the body of a family of four, and an unborn baby in the wooden building.

In half a year, the bodies of the first owner's family of five were removed for burial, and the small wooden building changed several owners, but none of them lasted long, because the north-south hub that used to attract guests has become a military strategist. The battleground, the officials in the south, and the rebellious army in the north are all fighting near here. Day by day, day by day, countless pages of houses of various colors are consumed: knives and guns, armor, gunpowder, chickens, etc. Duck, fish, and even people.

The wooden building finally became a land of no man.

But one month after it was completely deserted, a group of people from the rivers and lakes came here.

They cleaned the inn, which was still in good condition, and moved in all kinds of things again, so on this night, the long-lost candlelight came out from the paper-covered windows again.

It was late, and there was another wind and rain.

The heavy dust on the plaque was blown away by the wind and the rain, and the four characters that were somewhat blurred were exposed under the moon.

——Returning to the Inn.

This inn is called Guiren Inn.

Guiren Inn finally welcomes Guiren again.

It's a pity that the returnees in the arena are often dead.

——Excerpt from "Returning Inn"

Chen Liang's work efficiency is undeniable. After Jiang Xing and the other party expressed their intention to communicate with the director of the film crew on the role issues, at noon on the third day, Jiang Xing and the director of "Returning Inn" together with the screenwriter We sat down to eat together.

Including Chen Liang who was accompanying him, a total of four people found a hotel, ordered three or four dishes, and started chatting casually.

Jiang Xing spoke first: "Hello, Director Qian, and screenwriter Wang. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine." He picked up the cup and drank the tea in it, and then said, "I'm here to see Director Qian this time. With Wang Bian, I mainly want to discuss the role with Director Qian."

Director Qian, whose full name is Qian Boxin, is 53 years old and is one of the famous and powerful directors in China.

He nodded when he heard Jiang Xing's words.These directors' requirements for actors are actually the same. Of course, they prefer those who have aura, but those who are serious, don't say how much they like them, at least they don't hate them.Now Qian Baixin's attitude towards Jiang Xing is exactly the same, and he joked first: "I heard that you want to play the role of Wan Jun? What kind of considerations do you have? This role is not very pleasing Favorite villain."

Jiang Xing smiled a little: "But I think this role is a bit - wonderful."

Qian Boxin leaned on the back of the chair, observing this newly promoted star, he asked, "How do you say it?"

"It's like this. When I was reading the script, I noticed the personality of Wanjun's character: Wanjun is from the north, but he was picked up by a couple from the south. The couple from the south are wealthy businessmen. Lai’s knees were empty, and on the way home, he saw that the child was very young and helpless, so he was moved with compassion, and took the child home to raise him... Later, the Nanren couple was killed when they went out. The Beiren was killed, and the romantic young master who had grown into a suave young man, Wan Jun, lost his parents. Since then, he has hated the Beiren, and took the large sum of money left by his adoptive parents to help fight the Beiren's Jianghu forces. This is what Wanjun looked like at the beginning.”

"Not bad." Qian Baixin said.

"However, when we arrived at the Guiren Inn, people from the rivers and lakes found that the news was stolen frequently, and began to suspect that there was an inner ghost. At this time, Wan Jun, who came here with his fiancée, finally did not hide it from himself when he delivered the news. The closest person—the fiancée arranged for him by his adoptive parents—discovered his strange whereabouts."

"After his fiancée discovered Wan Jun's strange whereabouts, she immediately thought of the unknown ghost in the inn. The fiancee sternly questioned Wan Jun, and Wan Jun knelt down and cried bitterly and begged."

"In the end, Wan Jun deceived his fiancée, and then he chose... to strangle his fiancée to death."

"En." Qian Boxin nodded again.

"That's what I'm more confused about." Jiang Xing said, "What I saw was all the scenes of Wanjun getting along with Nanren. It's his extremely despicable and shameless side: when he was giving away money, he was able to ask the plans of those righteous men of the rivers and lakes, and when he learned the details of those plans, all the plots and traps were waiting there—— Killed these righteous men, these righteous men believed in him; he killed his fiancée, and his fiancée respected and loved him; he..."

Jiang Xing pondered for a while, "Although the script I read was not written, but Wan Jun's adoptive parents...was he also sent to die?"

Qian Boxin glanced at Jiang Xing appreciatively.

But it wasn't him who answered the conversation, but the screenwriter Wang sitting next to him. Screenwriter Wang nodded and said, "That's right, Wan Jun's family was destroyed by himself."

"According to the plot I saw, the northerners actually have no direct and effective control over Wanjun?" Jiang Xing asked.

"Correct."

"Then why did Wanjun give up his parents, wife, and everything to help the Beiren?" Jiang Xing asked, "In addition, he ended up being found out, and when he fled to the Beiren camp, he was trampled by a horse's hoof. And die. Those northerners obviously don't give a shit about him."

"Wan Wanjun's hateful and tragic lies in this." Screenwriter Wang said, "Wan Wanjun is not so much a human being as a machine. All of Wanjun's beliefs were forced by Beiren when he was very young." "For the glorious cause of our clan, everything can be sacrificed", so when he was summoned by the northerners, he personally ruined his peaceful life."

"Oh... Then when Wan Wanjun personally destroyed the people and things that could make him happy, would he feel something? If so, what kind of feeling would it be?" Jiang Xing pondered for a while, and then ask.

This question... asks the point, and it is not easy to answer.

Screenwriter Wang thought about it and said, "Well, our screenwriters are also discussing and deciding on this point, and there is no final result yet."

Hearing this, Jiang Xing stopped asking questions, and only joked to Qian Baixin: "Director Qian, I'm a little interested in this role, do you think my image is still on camera? If you want to play this kind of villain, Is it the same as Wan Wanjun's setting, with that kind of contrast?"

Qian Boxin laughed, and said: "Your appearance is still tailor-made." It was affirmed.

Next, about the salary and other more practical content, it should be the company's business, not Jiang Xing's to discuss.

Several people had a pleasant lunch. On the way back, Chen Liang called the company and talked with the company for a while. When he hung up, he said to Jiang Xing: "The new contract has been sent to the company. Help you get 50W, deduct miscellaneous points, you will probably get about 20W...Speaking of which, the place you live now doesn't even have an elevator, have you considered changing places?"

"Does it mean that the company will change it for me?" Jiang Xing asked.

"The boss really wants to change the land for you, let's see if you have the idea." Chen Liang said.

"Well...it's okay." Jiang Xing answered after a while, obviously a little absent-minded.

From the rearview mirror, Chen Liang saw Jiang Xing who was sitting at the back with his legs crossed and his eyes cast out of the window. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he was really convinced.

He counted with his fingers in his heart: he doesn't care about the salary, he doesn't care about where he lives, he is usually very low-key and has never asked for endorsements, magazines and other activities... He especially cooperates with the company's arrangements, especially cooperates with the shaping of the artist's image... No drinking , I don’t gamble, I don’t seem to smoke, I don’t go clubbing, I don’t mess with men and women and men and men, I read books at home when I have time, I’m just an otaku and I don’t like playing games.

It's not like being a star at all!

Like the legend - ascetic monk!

Just when Chen Liang deeply felt that his artist was unscientific, Jiang Xing was also talking with another "unscientific".

A task panel that hadn't been seen for a long time appeared in front of Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing: "..."

Why do I always feel that something terrible is about to happen to such an incredibly rich reward...

Jiang Xing looked at the task in front of him, thought over and over again, and asked tentatively: [Can I not accept it? ]

[Of course, I said before that the system never forces the host to complete any tasks. ]0021's voice was calm and composed, and then it suggested, [However, I suggest that the host should accept it. ]

[reason? ] Jiang Xing asked.

[The host will need these things. ]0021 said.

It's like an ominous forecast!

Jiang Xing asked again: [Are you trying to tell me something...]

0021 said: [It's just a trick. ]

['It's just a trick'? ] Jiang Xing repeated 0021's words.

[This time, how about letting the host freely choose the parts of the script that you want to empathize with?This time the host can choose the fragment—] With the voice of 0021, the empathy space is directly opened in front of Jiang Xing, and each selection box quickly appears from left to right, top to bottom like a flop.

Jiang Xing counted, and there were a total of ten vacancies.

If he understands correctly, he can freely choose the plots to be challenged in these vacancies—ten.

Ten chances of self-selection.
