Shen Yajing carefully looked at the smiling man for a long while, suddenly, she smiled, walked up a few steps and hugged the man, and said: "Oh, Darren, it's been a long time since I saw you, I almost I don’t recognize you.” Darren smiled and patted the girl on the shoulder, and said, “I almost didn’t recognize you either. I didn’t expect that stubborn little girl to become such a slim and beautiful lady in the blink of an eye. I am. It surprises me."

In Aline's eyes, the behavior of the two reunited after a long absence is quite normal, but in the eyes of Quan Zhilong, it is not so normal.He only saw his woman throwing herself into the arms of a strange man in great surprise. (—Hey! Boy! Don’t use idioms indiscriminately!)

He stood up at once and walked to the two of them. One forcefully pulled his woman out of the man's arms, wrapped his arms around her waist tightly, and said while grinding his back molars: "Yajing, who is this? Don't introduce us." Let's get to know each other." Shen Yajing felt the strength of the young man around her waist, she was a little funny, and said, "This is Darren Aronofsky, Aline's brother. Speaking of which, Darren is still my guide on the road of acting. Back then, I was also in Under his influence, I began to want to become an actor. Darren is a great director, and the "Wrestling King" you like very much is his work."

Hearing this, Quan Zhilong looked at the smiling man with some surprise, he didn't expect that the film was made by this man who looked no more than 30.He immediately reached out to say hello: "Hi, nice to meet you, your work is really great." Darren smiled, reached out to hold Quan Zhilong's hand, shook it friendly, and his chocolate-colored eyes became Shining brightly, she said: "Thank you for your compliment. It seems that Daisy really loves you very much. I heard her say that one day, she must bring her favorite person to see her The place where I used to learn to dance."

The young man smiled and looked sideways at the girl's reddish cheeks, feeling sweet in his heart.After exchanging pleasantries, they decided to find a restaurant to have lunch together. At the dinner table, Shen Yajing and the Aronofsky brothers and sisters talked about the past from time to time, and Shen Yajing would turn his head to the young man to pass him by from time to time. Everyone reunited after a long absence and felt very happy , Time passed slowly in the interlacing of toasts.

In fact, it is not a day or two since Darren developed a strong interest in ballet.Years ago, when the brother and sister were both in the United States, he once accidentally saw his sister learning ballet in an acting class at school. Since then, Darren began to conceive a movie about ballet. actor's video.

This framework was then integrated into a story of a wrestler, but due to space constraints, he still gave up this grand plan and filmed "The King of Wrestlers" first. 【Note 1】

This idea of ​​ballet has almost become a cinnabar mole in Darren's heart, and his brows are often lowered and his heart rises again.He has never been able to find the perfect actress in his heart, and he has never finished the draft.Aline, who was originally the best candidate, unfortunately does not have the talent for acting, and his sister put all her heart and soul into ballet. After graduation, she went to Paris to study and stayed there to work. The younger sister's Darren can only fly occasionally to meet him. 【Note 2】

When he went to visit his sister again, he found Shen Yajing, a girl who was very similar to Aline, yet so different from Aline.

When Darren Aronofsky met Shen Yajing for the first time, she was just a 10-year-old girl who was doing ballet exercises under the guidance of Aline. No matter how hard she was trained, Shen Yajing at that time just gritted her teeth , Continue to practice with sweat on his head.At that moment, Darren Aronofsky vaguely saw what his sister looked like back then from Miss Shen.

During the break, he approached Shen Yajing, who was still so immature in those years, and asked softly, "Are you tired? Does it hurt?" The girl looked at him warily, staring straight into his eyes for a long time, as if she wanted to dig out of it. Out of the man's motives. Darren let her stare without moving, making no effort to hide his kindness.It took a long time before the girl's slightly tense face relaxed, and she smiled lightly and said, "Of course I'm tired, and of course it hurts. But this is my own choice, and I will definitely persevere."

Darren was moved by the determination and fearlessness on the girl's face that did not match her age, and slowly chatted with her about more things.It was also at that time that Shen Yajing first touched the skirt of acting. Darren showed Shen Yajing some clips of his Sundance Film Festival director award-"Requiem for a Dream", not because he was stingy to show Shen Yajing the whole film, but some scenes were more or less correct. For Shen Yajing, who is only 10 years old, it is indecent. 【Note 3】

For Shen Yajing at that time, even though she only watched fragments of that movie, it was enough to attract her. After she got home, she searched for the source of the movie by herself and watched it from beginning to end.

It is thrilling enough, but also painful and honest. It directly exposes the helpless and dirty reality that is hidden in the dark, spreads out those unknown pains, and scans every hair. The black texture, and its purpose is only to guide the people who are becoming more and more confused like "Truman" to seek an answer and understand how the world is moving slowly in such a bizarre, unreasonable and horrible form.

Not only those elaborate plots, Shen Yajing was amazed by the deeply admiring acting skills of the leading actress Ellen Burstyn, until she fell asleep and tossed and turned.A few days later, she met Darren again in the practice room. She was very excited and went up to discuss the plot and pictures with Darren. From time to time, she naturally expressed views that surprised Darren, who is known for his style as a director.

Darren is like a treasure, and he often imparts all the experience he has gained from directing plays for many years, and often tells her about those top actors, how powerful they are when they act.The more they talked, the more Shen Yajing became fascinated by the profession of an actor. Finally, one day, when they chatted about movies again, Shen Yajing suddenly said firmly to Darren: "Darren, I have decided. I want to become an actor. A top-notch actor!" Looking at Shen Yajing's still immature cheeks, her clean facial features mixed with Chinese and Western advantages, and her radiant dark green eyes, Darren laughed with excitement and joy in his heart.

He stretched out his little finger and said, "Then let's make an agreement. If one day, Daisy really becomes an actor who can stand alone, then I will sincerely invite you to be the heroine of my movie, okay?" The girl hooked his little finger without hesitation and replied firmly: "Okay, we are not allowed to cheat."

So, hang on the hook, make a covenant, and never break it.

Later, Darren returned to the United States to continue his work. When he was busy filming "The Fountain of Love" and "The King of Wrestling", he sometimes heard Aline talk about Shen Yajing's changes. There was a sudden change in her family, and she returned to Korea. , she returned to Paris, she continued to dance, she went to England to act, and she became a well-known actor.Feeling relieved, he would sometimes search the Internet for the girl's works to read, watching her acting skills gradually mature, he was also very happy.

Finally, in the past few months, Darren finally completed the complete script of the movie about the ballet concept in his mind. He couldn't wait to contact his sister. After hearing that Daisy would come back to Paris to visit her on Christmas Eve this year, he decided to They want to go to Paris to realize the covenant they made with Lagou back then.

After a full meal, several people sat and enjoyed delicious desserts. During this period, Darren solemnly took out a stack of thick papers from his bag.Darren solemnly handed the stack of paper to Shen Yajing and said, "Daisy, I think it's time for me to realize our covenant at that time. This script is my painstaking effort in preparation for many years." I first came up with this idea because I watched Aline dance ballet. Unfortunately, Aline couldn't participate in this film. I thought I would never find a more perfect candidate than her, but back then I I can see the shadow of Aline when she was young in you. I am very happy that you finally became an actor, which made me finally find the perfect heroine. I hope you can take this script and achieve success with me This is a story that I have been preparing for nearly 10 years." [Note 4]

Shen Yajing was moved by his sincere words, took the stack of papers with both hands, put them away properly, and replied very formally: "Don't worry, Darren, I trust your ability and know how serious you are about movies. Even if I don't read the script, I will agree to it without hesitation. Now I can officially respond to you, I accept it, and I can cooperate with your filming pace at any time."

Seeing that Shen Yajing trusted him so much, Darren smiled happily. His freckled face showed a childish look that was a little out of proportion to his age. He said happily, "That would be great. I'm going to The filming will start in February next year, but because of the need of the plot, I'm afraid you will have to resume your ballet from now on, dear Daisy."

Shen Yajing also smiled and replied: "That's not a problem. In fact, I haven't completely given up ballet practice in the past few years, but it's really not as proficient as I was before I was 15 years old. Fortunately, my tendons are often stretched now. I haven't got stiff yet, and I have to review the movements from time to time. I just need to strengthen my physical strength and concentrate on recovering. I will go back to Korea in a few days to deal with related affairs, and then I will go back to Paris to follow Aline for ballet training. Get ready. Don't worry, Darren, I'll give you a leading lady at her best."

Darren laughed loudly and said, "Of course that would be the best, I wish for it." After the meal, several people parted ways at the entrance of the restaurant. Shen Yajing took Quan Zhilong by the hand and walked back to his home not too far from the restaurant.Along the way, she seldom talked to him with great interest about the things she became obsessed with acting back then, and the light in her eyes was unstoppable.

Quan Zhilong looked at her tenderly, feeling a little moved and a little bit lost in his heart.He has known for a long time that his Yajing is not those awkward boudoir girls, his Yajing has a loftier ambition than anyone else, a firmer will than anyone else and a determination to be unyielding than anyone else.His Yajing is different from the pure and beautiful appearance she shows, she is an out-and-out stubborn woman.

In her bones, she is like the kind of strong grass that grows on the plateau. It looks fragile and helpless, but in fact it clings to the ground under its feet, refusing to give in to the arrogant and violent wind.This kind of Shen Yajing makes Quan Zhilong love him so much. A girl who treats others so well and keeps her distance just right will actually accept herself and become her companion. To be honest, Quan Zhilong Some surprises.

In getting along with her, Quan Zhilong rarely feels that he is not loved. Most of the time, as long as he looks into her eyes, the love inside is always obvious, which is why Quan Zhilong would be so confident in the beginning that he would not lose her that he hurt her recklessly.

His Yajing is such a woman who can easily win countless admiring eyes, but she becomes a flower of interpretation for him with such peace of mind, which makes him feel proud and complacent.He had never really seen Shen Yajing's appearance when her acting skills were at full strength, and he seldom heard her love for acting, but at this moment, seeing the sparkling green eyes of the girl when she talked about acting, the boy understood, Acting is to Shen Yajing, just like music is to Quan Zhilong, it is indispensable.

Even though he was really reluctant to part with his girlfriend, even if he knew that she would not be able to see him often for nearly a year because of her promise, Quan Zhilong still chose to support her silently.This is the path Shen Yajing chose, the life that Shen Yajing dreamed of and the opportunity she had been waiting for for a long time. Without any reason, he used his selfishness to restrain Shen Yajing's soaring wings, and imprisoned this proud eagle into a poultry under the eaves. That would be too cruel.

So, just like Shen Yajing once silently supported Quan Juvenile's work, Quan Juvenile also decided to become the girl's backing this time. He said to Shen Yajing: "Go boldly and pursue your dreams hard. When you are tired, just Come back, I will wait for you in South Korea." The girl was moved by his words, her eyes became a little moist, she snuggled into the boy's arms tightly, her smile could light up the fleeting years, the boy also hugged his girl tightly, a little He sighed complicatedly.

The two returned home not long after. That night, after sleeping until midnight, Juvenile Quan woke up in a daze, only to find that there was nothing around him.He got up and got out of bed in doubt, and went to look for Shen Yajing. When he saw the study room with the light on, he knew it.Walking over and pushing open the door, she saw Shen Yajing sitting at the desk seriously flipping through the script Darren gave her.

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he walked forward, half-armed the girl's shoulders, yawned and asked, "Why aren't you asleep? I almost scared me when I touched you in the middle of the night without being around." She shyly patted the boy on her shoulder hand, and said: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhilong, I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep, so I just got up and read the script. This book is really great! I can't wait to act! It's so attractive Me!"

He said with some jealousy: "You just remember your script, do you still remember me? Really, no matter how much you like it, you can't help but sleep. Be obedient, don't suffer any longer, go to sleep with me obediently, and wake up tomorrow Watch it again." She shook the corner of his clothes flatteringly, and said, "Oh, brother Zhilong, don't be in such a hurry, wait for me for another 10 minutes, just 10 minutes, I only have the last bit left to watch, if you If you don’t let me read it, how can I sleep well! Are you okay? Are you okay?”

He finally couldn't resist her coquettishness, and reluctantly said: "Okay, okay, I promise you, it's only 10 minutes, no more, no less! I'll go and warm up a cup of milk for you first, and wait until I heat it up." When the milk comes back, you have to obediently close the script and go to rest honestly with me, do you hear me?" She nodded obediently immediately, and then Juvenile Quan got up and went to the kitchen to heat the milk for her, held it for 10 minutes, and walked away with the milk into the study.Seeing him coming in, Shen Yajing obediently put down the script in her hand, closed it, took the milk cup in Quan Zhilong's hand, drank it in small sips, and went to wash up.

Juvenile Quan cleaned up the desk for her, and put the script aside. During this period, his eyes glanced at the cover unconsciously, and he saw the two words in bold and italic on it - "Black Swan".He didn't pay much attention, he turned off the lamp, closed the door of the study and left.Maybe the hot milk really worked. After Shen Yajing washed and changed her clothes, she really felt sleepy.

She yawned and shrank into the boy's arms, the two of them breathed similarly, her forehead was pressed against his chin, and they both had a good night's sleep.Two days later, the two returned to South Korea together. Shen Yajing soon flew to Paris with Vicky, and Quan Zhilong quickly joined the rehearsal for the "BigShow" to be held at the beginning of the next year. Everyone is busy, so the time for contact is naturally much less.But sometimes when the work is over, each other can see each other's messages on the mobile phone, which is not extremely lonely.

Soon, the BigShow was successfully held, and the five long-lost members reunited to present a grand performance for the fans. The amazing stage effects and choreography made the fans hooked, and the screams and cheers never stopped. .They also presented fans with their special recording of "Bigbang" for two days and one night. In that video, the funny way of getting along with the five people and the hilarious game process, and how many VIPs were amused, let's not go into it. .

And back to Shen Yajing, she has devoted herself to ballet recovery training, and whenever she has free time, she starts to study the script. The originally clean script has been densely marked by her various comments.Before she left Korea, she went back to Seoul National University to find her mentor, that is, the professor Kim who interviewed her at that time, and told him her trend.Hearing that Shen Yajing was going to participate in a psychological film, he was very interested and personally found many relevant psychological cases for Shen Yajing, and told Shen Yajing that if she could write an article based on this film For an excellent thesis, he didn't care about Shen Yajing's years of absence from class and early leave.Shen Yajing naturally had no choice but to agree, but I have to say that the information Professor Jin found for her really helped Shen Yajing a lot.Let her gradually integrate into the role.
