Movie star's apartment

Before 08:30 the next night, Shen Che was already in front of the TV. According to the script and the progress of the novel, the heart-to-heart talk scene between the upper and lower bunk brothers should start not long after the second episode.

O'Zhelun sneered at the over-focused curly-haired young man beside him: "Why are you so excited? I didn't exaggerate like this when I watched my idol drama back then!"

Helan Ba ​​walked out of the kitchen with a beer in his slippers and said, "It's not an exaggeration to buy three TVs to increase ratings. One TV is still in the kitchen storage room."

O'Zhelun was speechless and asked Shen Che: "What is your point of view in this episode, is there a revealing scene or a sex scene?"

"I'm waiting to see Qin Xiu, not myself." Shen Che replied.

O'Zhelun was taken aback: "I rely on you how much you love the school girl? Isn't he on the second floor, you want to look enough. Oh, I'm not here today, it's only been a long time since I didn't see you..."

It's already night in the TV series, and it's time to play against each other on the upper and lower bunks. Shen Che hastily stretched out his hand to cover O' Zhelun's noisy mouth.

On the screen, Huang Zhen looked at the unmoving upper bunk: "Hey, Leng Lie, are you asleep?"

The camera cuts to Leng Lie, beyond Shen Che's expectations, Leng Lie is not lying on his back with his legs bent like last night, looking like he is insomnia and pretending to be asleep, but his head is leaning heavily on the pillow, Breathing evenly, as if really asleep.

I was a little surprised in my heart, but at this moment I saw Leng Lie's Adam's apple move slightly, and let out a "hmm".

Shen Che suddenly felt enlightened.The actor has read the script, of course he knows that Leng Li is awake at this time, but the audience doesn't know.For audiences who are not familiar with the plot, they responded to Huang Zhen at the last moment despite being "asleep" coldly.This small point reflects the difference between a tense performance and a tension-free performance.

"You're still 'huh' when you're asleep? All right! I'll treat you as a dream talker, Mr. Sleep Talker, would you like to chat with me?"

However, when he said these words in the lower berth, he did not witness Qin Xiu's performance in person.

The camera cuts to Leng Lie again, Shen Che eagerly wants to know how Qin Xiu filled the five or six seconds of vacancy.

Leng Lie still closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth... smiled?

It was a short, almost invisible smile, but because of the gap of five or six seconds without lines, the audience could easily catch it, and it perfectly filled the gap.

Yeah, why didn't I think of that?Because there was no hint in the script, his imagination completely stopped.What "just treat yourself as if you were talking in your sleep", "Mr. Sleep Talk", for the repressed Leng Leng who is silent and withdrawn, he would actually feel lucky to have such a passionate and straightforward young man by his side.Even though he was still cold and unsmiling when facing outsiders during the day, this almost imperceptible smile meant that Huang Zhen was no longer an outsider in Leng Lie's heart at this time.

Then the camera zoomed out to the distant view, the buddies on the upper and lower bunks, Huang Zhen on the lower bunk put his hands behind his head and began to talk to himself, looking up from time to time to the motionless upper bunk.

Leng Lie didn't really remain motionless, he changed to lying on his back, and even put his hands behind his head.Shen Che looked at the two brothers on the screen who were going up and down and making the same movements at the same time. He didn't know whether it was a coincidence or a tacit understanding, but this scene would definitely make the audience in front of the TV smile knowingly.

The night talk between the upper and lower bunk brothers is the first step in establishing friendship. This scene has an unusual meaning because of such a tacit understanding.

Qin Xiu's performance is very natural, it is a coldness that is trying to escape but still can't help but be attracted by Huang Zhen's basketball world in the dead of night, the coldness that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and the coldness that has let go of the defense.So when such coldness heard that the team had not returned for a long time, and opened their eyes and asked "why", the slight solemnity could make the audience also mention it in their hearts.

"I don't know, the coach didn't say why..."

Huang Zhen was still talking about something, when the Leng Leng on the upper bunk suddenly made a big movement and turned over.

This scene is basically over.Shen Che had to admit that there was a huge gap between himself and Qin Xiu.

Qin Xiu said he had something to do today, but he didn't come back until eleven o'clock in the evening.Shen Che lay on the sofa tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. At this moment, he really wanted to talk to someone.He took out the cell phone under the pillow and looked at it. It was a quarter past eleven, and Qin Xiu would usually come back before ten. He was a little strange when he heard the sound of picking out a key to open the door.

He turned over and sat up. Although he didn't turn on the light, he knew it was Qin Xiu from the tall and slender figure in front of the door: "Are you back?"

Qin Xiu, who lowered his head to change shoes at the entrance, raised his head when he heard the sound: "Did I wake you up?"

"No, I didn't fall asleep." Shen Che got up from the sofa, saw Qin Xiu changed into his slippers and went to the bathroom, but the door of the bathroom was open, so he followed him, stood at the door and looked at Qin Xiu who was washing his face with his head down, feeling a little hesitant to speak And stop.

Qin Xiu turned off the faucet and looked up at him: "Do you have something to tell me?"

On a very cold day, Qin Xiu washed his face with cold water and didn't use a towel to dry it. Shen Che's heart ached when he saw it. Qin Xiu looked very tired. He smiled and shook his head: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"It's okay, I'll take a shower. Wait for me for a while."

Shen Che was a little flattered, what's wrong with you, big brother?Taking the wrong medicine?

Qin Xiu was about to close the door, but when he saw Shen Che standing at the door in a daze, he came over and put his palm on the door and smiled narrowly at the person: "What? Want to come in and take a shower together?"

Shen Che came to his senses, looked at Qin Xiu with an ambiguous expression, and hurriedly retreated outside the door blushing.

Shen Che was sitting alone in the dark living room, looking in the direction of the bathroom, he heard the sound of water splashing, and he fell on the back of the sofa weakly, looking exhausted and distressed just now. After a while, I started to feel complacent again, who can hold you...

Qin Xiu came out wiping his hair, wrapped in a thick black bathrobe, with an oversized white T-shirt and long trousers inside.He brushed his half-wet hair to the back of his head with his hands, walked over to the sofa and sat down, a gust of hot air from the bath liquid rushed over, making Shen Che's face slightly warmed by the fumes.

Qin Xiu sat cross-legged on the sofa, pulled his quilt over his lap, and asked him, "Is the air conditioner not turned on in the living room? Are you cold sleeping like this?"

Shen Che looked at him for a long time: "...have you been drinking?"

Qin Xiu looked at him inexplicably.

Well, I didn't drink, it's just abnormal.Shen Che said heartily.To be honest, it's really cold to sleep alone in a living room of about [-] square meters and seven or eight meters high in winter, but Helan Ba ​​must not allow the air conditioner to be turned on.In fact, the two of them were wrapped in blankets like this, and it wasn't cold at all. Qin Xiu had just taken a bath, and his whole body was as warm as a small stove.

"I watched TV," Shen Che said, "After watching the part you acted in, I suddenly realized that I can't act anymore."

"Want to chat with me?" Qin Xiu reached under the pillow and took out Shen Che's cell phone, played the video from last night, and smiled while watching, "You look uneducated."

"I also know that you have to substitute characters in acting, but just substituting two words sounds very mysterious," Shen Che sat cross-legged on the sofa, with his hands on his calves and his back slightly arched, looking at the night sky outside the balcony.When he was in acting class, he asked you to imagine yourself as a flower, a horse, making you cry and laughing. .” Then he turned to Qin Xiu, “How did you do it? For example, when you were playing tricks on people.”

"Have you seen that scene of "King Lear"?" Qin Xiu asked, a little surprised.

"No, I wanted to watch it," Shen Che didn't know how to say he was a little guilty. If he told Qin Xiu that he went to see An Jiamian's "Night Blindness" at that time, he would definitely not know what it would be like to be complained, "Later I Going to see it but you only acted once, and I honestly can't even imagine you playing that crazy clown, but they all said it was great. That character is nothing like you."

"It's not that mysterious to substitute a role. First of all, the make-up in that scene was so good that I thought I was a lunatic when I saw it. Then," Qin Xiu said, he paused for a while, and turned coldly to the people around him who listened attentively. He raised his eyebrows, "Why should I tell you?"

ha?Shen Che was stunned, what rhythm is this?

"You have to be sincere if you want to hear this kind of forum post, right?" Qin Xiu glanced at him.

Anyway, you just don't make it easier for me at any time, Shen Che said helplessly: "What kind of sincerity do you want?" Can you see the reply?

Qin Xiu's eyes fell on his stomach: "I want to see your six pack abs."

Shen Che was dumbfounded, this...isn't it childish? "My abs are not as obvious as yours." Really, you have to judge the competition, you have grown up comparing yourself to others like this.

"It's obvious without me. If you lift it up and let me see it, it's over." Qin Xiu was unexpectedly persistent.

What's so interesting about this, it's not a piece-by-piece spectacular scenery like Kai Dashou.Shen Che regretted it to death, if he had known that he would not have talked nonsense back then, do you have to let me admit in front of you that I have grown a circle of fat before letting me go.

"Shen Che," Qin Xiu said impatiently, "If you want to hear tips, I'll just look at your abs. You still can't bear it. Your abs are made of tofu. Can I ruin it?"

Shen Che was so speechless by the poisonous tongue that he had no choice but to accept his fate, and reluctantly lifted up his pajamas: "There's really nothing to see."

Qin Xiu didn't speak, but stared straight at him, making him a little uncomfortable, and then lowered his head to take a look, remembering that he was pretty good-looking when he played basketball before, but now he couldn't help but feel a little shabby in comparison, Qin Xiu's eyes didn't look like that. Knowing whether it was distaste or something, he had no choice but to slap his swollen face to pretend to be fat, and laughed: "I haven't practiced much during this period, and I should be able to come back after practicing..."

"Where are the abdominal muscles?" Qin Xiu mumbled, and reached out to touch his belly.

It seemed that it was just such a touch, but there was a soft force. Shen Che's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly covered his clothes to cover them tightly.

Qin Xiu withdrew his hand unwillingly: "I'll touch you to make you look like this."

"That's not true, but I'm not mentally prepared for your sudden attack..." Shen Che said with a guilty conscience, why rub you if you touch it, knowing that I treat you...

"I have to notify you before I touch you?" Qin Xiu looked contemptuous, "Shen Che, I want to kiss you now, so prepare yourself. Do you have to keep this rhythm in the future?"

Shen Che blushed a little, I thought you really wanted to kiss me, but I was a little disappointed.

Qin Xiu glanced at him, didn't waste any more time, and turned back to the topic: "Don't you want to know how I play tricks on people? In fact, it's just a substitute. I don't know how others do it. I just let my brain Get moving."

"Get your brain moving?" Shen Che was a little confused.

"The role of fooling people is very different from my own feeling. It feels like asking you to play cold. When you get such a role, you will feel that you have no confidence."

So true!Shen Che thought in his heart, it was the feeling of having no confidence and not being able to let go of his hands and feet to act.

"You don't have the confidence and confidence, so of course you can't act well." Qin Xiu smiled lightly, "Sometimes we feel that we know this character very well, just like you have read the novel "Zero Second Shot", I have read "King Lear", why do you still have no confidence?"

"Yes," Shen Chexu looked thoughtfully, "I should know Leng Li very well."

"I also feel that I understand that joker very well, but this understanding is external. Even if you can reconstruct all his growth environment and mental journey, you only understand him from the perspective of a third party. It is necessary, but if you are after the ultimate performance, it is not enough." Qin Xiu said, "Drama developed from ancient Greek tragedy, and Greek tragedy originated from the worship of Dionysus, the god of wine. Imagine One day, during the ceremony of Dionysus, a drunken priest suddenly jumped out and said that I am Dionysus, and he believed that he was possessed by Dionysus. At that moment, he was full of confidence and self-confidence, so That's how the show was born."

"So you still have to 'substitute'," Shen Che leaned on the sofa with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling inexplicably, "When I talk about this, I feel mysterious."

"It's not mysterious at all. Why does he believe that he is Dionysus? Why do I believe that I am a trick? Why can't you believe that you are cold?" Qin Xiu said lightly, "Because when performing Dionysus and performing tricks , Our brains are full, but when you perform coldly, your brain is empty, Shen Che, you have to remember that only second-rate actors perform with body or expression, and first-rate actors use their brains."

"Substitute with your brain, do you mean to exercise your imagination?"

"It's not exactly the same. My approach is to keep thinking," Qin Xiu gathered up his nightgown as the temperature became colder, and recalled, "In King Lear's court, I was the fool who watched. When I saw Lear When the king gave the territory to his daughter, I would laugh in my heart, what a stupid king, but he still thinks he is very wise. Now whip me and kick me as much as you want, how long can you be happy, I How long will it keep you happy? When I see the king drenched like a beggar in the heavy rain, I think of the man who used to sit high on the throne. I'm like your dog in captivity, rolling and wagging my tail in front of you to beg Your favor, now you are finally like me, after taking off your fancy clothes, we are all the same, you don’t need to reward me anymore, now it’s my turn to take care of you.” He smiled and tilted Head, "You're an old man, a good man, and a fool, but I still love you. Love you like your son."

Shen Che stared at Qin Xiu for a moment, his eyes with natural eyeliner were narrowed, there was sarcasm and sympathy in his eyes, there was a cheerful energy like watching a good show, and a helplessness to see through the coldness of the world, none of these Qin Xiu's facial expression belonged to the joker who was laughing and cursing, pitiful and compassionate.

Qin Xiu withdrew his wandering eyes: "I recite Shakespeare's lines on the stage, but when I have no lines, the lines in my heart never stop. I don't believe that anyone on the scene can perform better than me, because only I Know what Fool is thinking, know the ridicule and secret in his heart."

Shen Che listened to every sentence, this was the first time he got close to the inner world of the strongest newcomer in the acting department.If you don't tell me this, I will probably never know the distance between us, as far away as stars and gravel.

Qin Xiu glanced at Shen Che who was silent beside him: "People are thinking all the time, since Leng Lie is awake, when Huang Zhen said those words to him, he wouldn't just go in his left ear and out his right ear, he didn't talk to him. Huang Zhen talked too much, but he kept talking in his heart. You asked me, Leng Lie, did you sleep? I thought at that time, you are going to bother me again? Forget it, I really want to hear you talk You shouted slogans with the whole team, I would think the slogan is a bit stupid, but that kind of feeling must be good... holding a basketball to wipe for an afternoon, well, I can imagine you sitting cross-legged on the side of the court, complaining and wiping The look of basketball..."

Shen Che listened intently, and under the moonlight, every subtle expression on Qin Xiu's face was magnified. It was so rich and delicate that he was completely attracted.

Qin Xiu turned his head and said: "If you treat yourself as cold, you have to look at it from his standpoint. When you have thoughts in your mind, you will have expressions on your face. Even if you want to control them, you can't control them, because they are micro-expressions. , is an expression from the heart.”

Shen Che blinked, the conversation this night, even if it was described as benefiting a lot, it would not be an exaggeration, as if suddenly there was an exclusive acting teacher.

Qin Xiu smiled, lifted the quilt and stood up: "I'm going to sleep, good night."

"Qin Xiu," Shen Che called to stop him, and raised his head sincerely, "Thank you." Actually, Qin Xiu didn't need to say these things to him at all.This should have been something he had to think about and grasp by himself.

Qin Xiu turned his head and smiled on the stairs, walked to the second floor and stopped, leaned on the railing and looked down: "Do you want to come up and sleep together?"

Shen Che didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly pulled the quilt and lay down on the sofa: "No need!"

"You're not cold, you don't want to hug me to sleep?"

Shen Che wanted to cry but had no tears, this was clearly intentional! "I'm not cold, thank you for your kindness!" The quilt was pulled up to the chin in one go, resolutely sitting still.

Qin Xiu upstairs groaned, entered the room and closed the door.
