Movie star's apartment

"Joker" was released in China, and many people boycotted the film because of their prejudice against Shen Che, but everyone who watched it gave a very high evaluation without exception. Of course, the film critics paid more attention to the director's work. However, in the rave reviews, Shen Che, who has been out of people's sight for two years, has gradually gained a place.

——Shen Che's performance exceeded expectations.

——I think his performance in "The Death of Guppies" is already his acme, and it's hard to imagine that he can play such a role.

—Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, bless him.

Qin Xiu recommended "Joker" on Weibo, which attracted confusion from some fans and speculation from many interested people. He didn't explain it. In fact, since Shen Che went abroad, he hasn't posted on Weibo for almost two years. up.

During his hospitalization, he received a movie script called "Journey". Taking the violin, he embarked on a long journey to the wild land of the world, but unfortunately died in an avalanche.

The script was very shocking, and it was in the field of classical music that he was familiar with. He spent the whole night reading the script, and called the director early the next morning to express his willingness to act, but the reply he got was unexpected.

The prototype of the protagonist in the play is the young conductor genius who is well-known in the domestic classical music circle. The mother of the other party said that she must meet the actor in person, and she can only act after she approves.

The meeting place was at Binhai Hotel. When the director saw Qin Xiu coming over, he showed a troubled expression and shook his head.

Qin Xiu saw Lu Hang's mother in the lounge, a woman who looked haggard in her indifference.

"You are so beautiful," the woman looked at Qin Xiu who was on the opposite side of the coffee table. "You don't look like my son. He is not as tall as you." The more she looked at it, the more dissatisfied she seemed. Mother Lu frowned, "It can't be because you are a star , has box office appeal, let someone who is not like my son play him."

Qin Xiu patiently waited for the elder to finish speaking: "In terms of appearance, I am indeed not like your son, but I have also played many roles that are completely different from myself. I think..."

"No, no, I know what you want to say," Lu's mother raised her hand to interrupt, "You want to say that your acting skills are very good, and what you play is like anything, but this time it's different, this time you want to play mine Son, no one knows your child better than a mother, I knew you were not suitable the first time I saw you."

The other party's arbitrariness made Qin Xiu feel a little uncomfortable, but he tried his best to be calm to take care of the mother's mood: "Do you think I'm not suitable, just because of my appearance?"

"Of course not, it's intuition. You are not like him. I don't think you are suitable." Lu Mu insisted, and she seemed to have no desire to talk about it when she got up.

Qin Xiu never thought that he had bumped into such a hard nail. He thought that as long as he had a good talk, he would always reach an agreement. He had shown full patience and sincerity, but the other party insisted on preconceived ideas and didn't give him a chance at all.

Niu Niu saw that the woman came out without saying a few words to the director and left with a cold face, so she knew that they must have broken up badly. When Qin Xiu came out, his expression was very bad. The director patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, saying I will persuade Mother Lu again.Qin Xiu didn't speak, but Niuniu knew that Qin Xiu would not give up so easily.

She thought that Qin Xiu would go directly to Lu Hang's mother, but she didn't know that Qin Xiu would go to the Conservatory of Music whenever he had time.She went with him a few times and found that besides watching the school band rehearsal, Qin Xiu also asked the school teachers and classmates about Lu Hang from time to time.

"Senior Brother Lu used to practice piano there." The female student leading Qin Xiu smiled and pointed to the piano room at the end of the corridor.

"Doesn't he have a piano at home?" Qin Xiu was puzzled.

"Senior Brother Lu lives in the dormitory." The female student replied.

Qin Xiu frowned, he remembered that Lu Hang's home was not far from the school. "Can I go in and bounce?"

The female student was stunned, as if she didn't expect Qin Xiu to play the piano: "Yes."

Qin Xiu walked into the piano room, lifted the lid of the piano, and pressed the middle C note to make sure that the pitch was tuned. Then he sat down and asked, "What music did Lu Hang play?"

"Ah... a lot," the female student was shocked by Qin Xiu's posture sitting in front of the piano, and thought that he was indeed an actor, and he really looked like anything he acted, "I heard him playing Chopin when I passed by one night. farewell song."

Chopin's Farewell.For the genius Lu Hang, it should be a piece that is so simple and meaningless, why would he play it alone at night.

This was the first time Niuniu heard Qin Xiu play a classical piece. Although he was wearing a fashionable royal blue checked shirt, as long as he sat down in front of the piano, there was miraculously no dissonance at all.

As night fell, the sky was dark blue, and Chopin's farewell piece flooded the little piano room they were in like an ocean.

Qin Xiu felt the thick touch of the solid wood keys against his fingertips. Lu Hang was such a person who played Chopin's farewell in the silent night.This piece of music was not called a farewell song at the beginning of its creation, but a piano etude with a nocturnal temperament. After leaving the motherland and leaving home, this piano etude in E major was given a new meaning by the composer.

He thought of Lu Hang who was on a journey alone. In the letter he left to his mother, he wrote that he was going to find the real world, and promised that when he came back, he would be a brand new Lu Hang.

He went to the places he wanted to go since he was a child, to the savannah of Africa, to see the most spectacular migration in the world, to Kilimanjaro, to see the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro that no longer existed, to Yellowstone Park , Look at the geyser, a fox rolling on the snow slope, the air is full of dreamy ice crystals.His CD player broke on the way to the Grand Canyon, but he had Mahler, Dvořák, and Rachmaninoff in his heart.

The journey wasn't supposed to be a one-way trip, but it stopped unexpectedly halfway.

After the serene melody of a nocturne, the topic sentence suddenly became high-pitched. At that moment, Niuniu had the illusion that it was the piano sighing.The chords kept going up and down, and they were rolling loudly. Qin Xiuxing's smooth fingering even stunned the female students on the side. , with clear layers and full of emotions.

The text message on the mobile phone rang suddenly, Niu Niu took out the mobile phone and looked up, only then saw the figure standing outside the window in the corridor for a long time.It's Lu Hang's mother.

"Do you think that I will agree with you to play Lu Hang? Let me tell you, your efforts are in vain."

Facing Mother Lu who was still stubborn and did not let go, Qin Xiu did not refute, but asked calmly: "I can play the piano, are you not surprised at all?" Mother Lu frowned, it would be false to say that she was not surprised: " So what?"

Qin Xiu said nothing more.

"Why don't you talk?" Mother Lu asked.

Qin Xiu remained silent.

"Resist with silence," Lu Mu suddenly looked a little annoyed, "You look like this..." She stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation.

Qin Xiu raised his eyes and stared at her. His eyes were very bright, and there was a kind of unyielding stubbornness hidden under his seemingly handsome and humble appearance.

Mother Lu pursed her lips tightly, took one last look at Qin Xiu who had never spoken, and turned away sullenly.

Niu Niu watched this scene not far away, and felt very sorry for Qin Xiu. The mother seemed so determined that Qin Xiu might really not get the role.She couldn't figure out why she was so stubborn since she had agreed to make a movie based on her son's deeds. Where could she find an actor like Qin Xiu who had acting skills, sincerity and knowledge of classical music?

Jessica is already helping Qin Xiu find other scripts, but as long as the director has not finally let go, Qin Xiu still finds time to go to the music school where Lu Hang graduated from every now and then.

One day, the director suddenly called and asked Qin Xiu to go to the Binhai Hotel. Niuniu knew that the supporting role audition for "Journey" was going on at the hotel. Going there is a blessing or a curse.

When they arrived in the afternoon, the director was interviewing supporting roles. The producer, Mr. Gao, came out with a smile on his face: "In the morning, Mrs. Lu came to me and Director Xin and asked a lot about you," the producer said. Put on a congratulatory smile, "She agrees to your acting."

Not only Qin Xiu, but even Niu Niu was taken aback.Was it moved by Qin Xiu's sincerity?But it's not like that, that aunt is not so easy to buy.

Qin Xiu only felt that the stone in his heart had fallen to the ground. Although he was pleasantly surprised, he was still puzzled: "Why did you suddenly agree?"

"Yeah, I was surprised too," Mr. Gao rubbed his chin, "She just said...you look like Lu Hang when you're not talking."

Qin Xiu blinked, a little surprised.

"By the way, Mrs. Lu asked me to ask you why you kept silent at that time."

Qin Xiu frowned and pondered for a while: "...I don't know what to say."

Or should I say, at that moment he didn't know what to say to let her hear, if possible, he would rather write a letter to that lady, just like Lu Hang did.

Niuniu went back to the company first, and Qin Xiu stayed to discuss the plot with the screenwriter. It was almost five o'clock when he left the hotel. When he walked out of the gate, he found a camera on the opposite road, surrounded by a group of bosses, and the audition was in full swing.

He stood next to the BMW heavy machine, did not rush into the car, and watched the lively audition scene across the road.It was also here at that time, and it was almost the same position. He was riding on the battle ax in the heavy rain, and looked at the curly-haired young man who was dancing under the sun and rain from a distance.

In fact, it wasn't the rain of the sun, and he didn't know why whenever he recalled the scene of that day, he always felt that the rain at that time was golden without a cloud, and the rain seemed to be sprinkled from the sun.

Today is different, the sun is very good, but everything looks gloomy.The people who auditioned changed one after another, but no one could catch his eyes like that person.

Qin Xiu squinted his eyes in the sunlight.Shen Che is different from himself and An Jiamian, but he is also born for acting.

When I checked Weibo this morning, I found that the Weibo post I posted recommending "Joker" was reposted by many people. Of course, many people reposted it with malicious intentions, but many of them sincerely recommended the movie.

Did you feel it?I can already feel that the world is starting to look a little different because of our efforts.

There is still one trophy left, the handsome iceberg puts on his hard hat, and the Haihun heavy machine whizzes away in the sun.

Thanks to "Joker", Shen Che actually received an invitation from an American drama!Even if it is only a second-tier American drama, it will still have a considerable attention rate in China, not to mention that this is an absolutely first-tier American drama with a high cost, called "INTOTHEFIRE".

O'Zhelun jumped up from the sofa: "Is it an American drama about fighter pilots?! Does Shen Che want to play a pilot?!"

Kai Molong straightened his collar and smiled: "It's impossible for him to act as a fighter."

He Lanba and his party could receive warm electricity from Shen Che every day in the apartment.

——Comrades, I got into the F-18 today! SURREAL! !Words can no longer describe my feelings, and a photo is attached!What is a Lamborghini?A real man sits on a bumble bee!

In the photo, Curly Shen is sitting in the bubble chamber, twisting his body so that he can see the head-up display of the bunker in the center console, looking very proud.

——I entered the simulation cabin today, isn’t it very fashionable to wear a flight suit!P and S: That's right, the Big Mac behind me is the legendary B-52!

——Shooting the ejection today, I was soaked in the water by a parachute and weighed as much as ten carts of cakes. I was covered in it and couldn't swim out. I almost confessed!

——It’s still an ejection today. I ejected three times from the simulated cockpit. The hatch cover was not opened in time the last time, and I got a few stitches on my head, but it’s nothing to be a man!

——The character I played seems to like ejection very much. I think the script is unscientific. The cost of F-18 must be tens of millions of dollars. How can it be ejected at every turn.

——How long will it take to shoot the ejection...

Helanba and O'Zhelun were very happy. Shen Che must have been tortured to the point of madness by the eject button. After that, he didn't send emails to harass them for a long time.

The filming of the first season of "INTOTHEFIRE" is in full swing, and Qin Xiu also traveled all over the world with the crew of "Journey". Did not meet.

It's been a busy and fulfilling year for both of us.

"Stop, stop!"

The master conductor on the stage waved his hands to show that he was wrong, and the musicians stopped one after another.

"The section just now was too fast," Qin Xian said to the orchestra, "Beethoven's crescendo is a crescendo, not a crescendo..."

After the band corrected it and started all over again.The rehearsal didn't end until [-] pm, and Qin Xian was the last one to leave the concert hall.The coolness of the late autumn night was strong, he subconsciously put his hand into the pocket of his coat, and then he was taken aback.

Taking out the thin movie ticket in his pocket, Qin Xian stopped under the street lamp. This ticket was bought on a whim when he passed by the movie theater at noon. He didn't know why he thought of buying this movie ticket.

Movie time is 07:30pm.

Sitting in a crowded movie theater, waiting for the lights to go out, how many years has it been since I have been to this dream-making place, the conductor thought a little wistfully.When Qin Xiu was a child, he once took him to see Disney's "Fantasia" and Tonatore's "The Pianist on the Sea".At that time, he thought that he would see his son on the podium of the concert hall in the future, but he really didn't expect to see his son on the big screen one day.

The film is adapted from real people and real events. The incident about Lu Hang caused a sensation in the music world three years ago. He also met this musical genius several times in private. Lu Hang's father is a pianist. Died in an air crash.In my impression, Lu Hang is a gentle, quiet, humble and low-key young man.

And the young man in the movie was clearly Qin Xiu. Qin Xian squinted his eyes, thinking that his son appeared on the big screen as a conductor in such a tortuous way, and his mood was indescribable for a while.

Qin Xiu was sitting in the piano room, playing a short lyrical tune, when Qin Xian heard a girl in the back row whisper: "It's so nice."

That's Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood."

Standing beside the piano was an old man with gray hair. Although his clothes were old, he was very neat from head to toe. When the music stopped, the old man said, "It reminds me of many good memories."

A little boy was sitting on the window, dangling his legs, his childish voice was soft and soft: "I also have many good memories."

Lu Hang called the old man Huo Ci, and the little boy Wulf.This was Lu Hang's last night in China, and his mother was not by his side, nor did he know that he was leaving.

Qin Xiu came to his mother's house with simple luggage the next morning and stuffed a letter under the door.

"Is this really good?" the old man asked.

"I caused her too much trouble." Qin Xiu said, turning around and rubbing the little boy's hair with a smile.

The movie was shot around the world, trying to reproduce the last journey of Lu Hang's life in the most authentic and complete way.Qin Xian looked at Qin Xiu carrying a bag and a violin case, walking on the long road, turned his head and gave a thumbs up to the passing car, the car whizzed away, and the young man had to walk slowly alone, the camera was like this I kept patting him as he walked far, far away.

He went to places that were inaccessible but full of vitality.

Qin Xian looked at the young man who looked like Qin Xiu and Lu Hang in a trance, saw him get inspiration from the wildebeest herd, countless horseshoes shook the ground, and the flying dust was dyed dazzling golden by the light of the setting sun; He got out of the tent in a panic and looked helplessly at the rhinoceros that stomped on his bonfire and walked away. When he looked up, he saw the stars and the Milky Way hanging in the sky.

Sometimes he would also write scores, or play "Song of the Wanderer" by the campfire in the dead of night.Huo Ci and Woolf would always appear at this time, and the three sat around the campfire, talking about music, art, and life.

One night, the little boy came, but the old man never appeared.

That night was very quiet. Looking at the bonfire, the little boy asked in a low voice, "Will I be the one to leave next?"

Qin Xiu touched the little boy's head: "You will always be in my heart."

The camera zoomed out, Qin Xiu smiled at the empty space next to the campfire, and took it back.

The stars were still hanging in the sky. Qin Xiu came to the cliff of the Grand Canyon of Colorado alone. In the cold night wind, facing the endless darkness under his feet, he closed his eyes and raised his eyes solemnly. arm.

The popular melody of the second movement of Dvořák's "From the New World" came from the movie. Qin Xian watched Qin Xiu on the big screen with bated breath. There was no band or baton, but he seemed to be able to command the wind.

The Grand Canyon is the resonance box, and the wind is the vibrating strings.

The ethereal woodwinds and soft strings sang together, and the wind lifted Qin Xiu's bangs and his clothes, and his commanding movements felt as if he was about to fly.In the music, he recalled every beautiful and picturesque scenery during the journey, groups of flamingos dancing their courtship dance, the smoky lake, the roaring Murchison Falls...he recalled When he was a child, his father put his little self on the piano. He was only three years old, and he could play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" after listening to it once. He remembered the surprised eyes of his parents at that time. He had visited Lahema in the sound of the piano. The hometown of Ninov, the hometown of Dvořák, the motherland of Chopin, the fairy tale of the Nutcracker, and the joy and sorrow of Petrushka... He remembers the first time he saw his father after his death. In the scene of Huo Ci, the old man took off his hat and smiled at him, teaching him to play Mozart and Beethoven. At that time, he was not as tall as the old man's waist... He also remembered the sad and frightened eyes of his mother when he saw himself talking to himself.

Dvořák missed his hometown in the New World, but this time, he was going to the New World.

In the movie theater, no one coughed, no one spoke, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard. That is the sincere admiration that people can only show in the halls of classical music and in front of real art.

The brilliant French horn brought the dawn, the stars sank, and the Grand Canyon woke up magnificently in the call of Dvořák's Ninth Symphony!

This scene used helicopter aerial photography, and the golden Grand Canyon seemed to be bordering the sky. With the unison of the whole band, the picture was really shocking!

And Qin Xiu stood at the heart of the world, directing the symphony orchestra of nature to play the strongest sound of this movement, and the timpani drummed the eardrums, just like the vigorous heartbeat of this planet!

"Goodbye, Huo Ci."

Qin Xian looked at Qin Xiu who opened his eyes and said goodbye to his old friend on the screen. He didn't recognize who composed this part of Dvořák Ninth. Presumably it was played by a special band invited by the crew, and it wasn't particularly outstanding. However, the shocking sunrise and the magnificent scenery of the Grand Canyon make up for the lack of music.

Especially Qin Xiu, his commanding movements are powerful, passionate, and full of momentum. The gesture of the music rushing in my body is more convincing than anything else.

Qin Xian looked at this scene, and the regret of not being able to see his son inherit his mantle suddenly disappeared at this moment.

At the end of the movie, the screenwriter and director made their own ideas.Qin Xiu fell from the snow slope in order to save Wulf.When he was dying, Qin Xiu saw the little boy standing in front of him with red eyes, and asked him why he wanted to save him: "If I leave, you will be free."

Qin Xiu's lips twitched, and his eyes said sorry, I'm sorry, so you know...

"Why did you save me?" the little boy said with tears, "You know I'm not real..."

Qin Xiu looked at the violin buried in the snow at the little boy's feet, the music was not real, but, but...

"...the love you gave me is real."

At the end of the movie, Lu Hang's mother rereads her son's letter sitting by the window with tears in her eyes.At the end of the film, Qin Xiu's deep magnetic and slightly confused voice sounded: "...What is the real world like? I want to integrate into it, and I am afraid of it, but if I don't integrate into it, it will bring harm to the people around me. To be close to you, to be close to them, to be close to my audience, I must come back from my father's world.

"Forgive me for not having the courage to tell you my thoughts for so many years. My world must be absurd and terrifying to you. I can only choose to remain silent. But Huo Ci and Woolf are not terrible, they They are my friends, and I just want to say goodbye to them. After that, I can really stand on the podium alone."

In the final picture, Qin Xiu, carrying his luggage, stepped up to the top of the mountain following the sound of turbulent water. At his feet, a rainbow crossed the vast Victoria Falls, and a prairie eagle glided through the rainbow. The scene was dreamlike and unreal. .

The movie came to an end in Massenet's "Meditation". As the lights of the movie theater came on, the audience stood up and applauded. The cast was almost finished, and people were still reluctant to leave.

Qin Xian sat in the auditorium, unable to recover for a long time, until the sound of sobbing came from his ear.He looked at the woman next to him who was weeping with her head bowed, and silently handed over a tissue, and the woman took it, with tears in her eyes, and said, "...that's my son."

Qin Xian was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the other party was the mother of the deceased young commanding genius.

When Qin Xian walked out of the movie theater with complicated emotions, Qin Xiuxiu was in the company's dance classroom doing the final rehearsal for the New Year's Eve party at the end of the year. The text message on his mobile phone rang inconspicuously amidst the intense dance music, and there was only a brief sentence in the message Bravo.
