I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 141 Quentin: "Awesome~~"

"The breeze keeps blowing under the dense hawthorn trees~~~"

The melodious singing spread from the Laguna Theater's speakers to the entire theater.

The third brother, played by Chen Jin, sits in the tent, playing the accordion with his eyes closed and a smile on his face, looking very happy, and the singing comes out of his mouth.

"hey-hey!"

A tiny child suddenly came over, causing the third child to open his eyes and the piano music stopped abruptly.

She whispered in the third brother's ear.

The third brother immediately smiled happily, with a bright expression on his eyebrows and face.

He opened the tent and walked out, giving the accordion to his colleague. He first glanced at a figure standing not far away. Jingqiu was peeling off the corner of clothes with nervous fingers, but her face was looking towards the third brother with curiosity.

She had just been attracted by the accordion and the singer. She was selected as a high school student to participate in the compilation of village history textbooks and went to Xicunping for an interview.

Because there is a hawthorn tree in Xicunping that is said to be stained red by the blood of anti-Japanese heroes.

Jingqiu lived in the village chief's house, and Lao San also lived in the village chief's house. Because his family had two sons and the village chief treated Sun Jianxin as his own son, the villagers and the village chief called him Lao San.

"..."

Jingqiu looked at a handsome boy with a nice smile looking towards her not far away. She lowered her head shyly, but a smile was on her lips.

In fact, she was very panicked because the third child was walking towards her holding the eldest child's child.

“Is this the student writer from the city?”

Chen Jin's extremely clear face, playing the role of the third brother, appeared on the big screen at this time.

This was the first time that the male protagonist had a positive image magnified like this. The audience watched for several minutes before they finally saw Chen Jin's real face.

There was a sudden commotion in the cinema.

He had a row of white teeth that made him feel extremely comfortable when he smiled, and his appearance was full of youthfulness. Although it didn't match the geological team uniform he was wearing, he didn't look ugly at all. Instead, he had a refreshing feeling of being mature beyond his years.

“No, no, no, not a writer!”

Jingqiu waved her hands, unable to suppress the smile on her face. The little girl couldn't help laughing when she was praised.

The originally nervous mood became relaxed and cheerful as the third child took the initiative to speak: "I am a student of No. 8 Middle School. I am here to write the village history and help the teacher compile teaching materials when I go back!"

As she spoke, it felt like she was saying too much, but the main thing was that the third child was listening very carefully. He didn't glance around, but looked straight at her face and smiled the whole time.

Jingqiu turned her head away shyly, biting her lips lightly, looking very reserved.

“You are going to write about the hawthorn tree, aren’t you?”

"how do you know?"

"My guess!"

As the third brother spoke, he came to Jingqiu's side carrying the child.

Jingqiu was even more shy. She lowered her head, bit her lips all the time, and her fingers kept fiddling with her braided hair. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so she could only reveal a sweet and restrained smile.

"Give!"

The third brother gave the child a candy and also handed one to Jingqiu.

Jingqiu didn't dare to look at him at all. When she lowered her head, she saw a slightly rough palm with a candy lying in it.

“Give it to the kids!”

"If you're not a child, you can't eat candy?"

Jingqiu was amused at once.

The corners of her brows relaxed, and finally she stretched her fingers and thumb slightly into the palm of the third brother and picked up the candy.

And at this moment, a smile really bloomed on Jingqiu's face.

The camera gave this scene a slow motion, with soothing and beautiful background music playing.

Jingqiu and Lao San’s first meeting ended so warmly.

Everyone could feel that the two people fell in love at first sight and liked each other. The giggling of children could be heard among the picturesque forests, and everything seemed so harmonious and natural.

The tone of the movie is very soothing, like a love story being told. Everyone has guessed the beginning and knows the ending.

But the only thing I want to know is how clean and pure their love is.

At this point, the audience was completely immersed in the plot of the movie.

……

The chairman of the jury, Quentin, sat there comfortably, with his arms folded, one hand touching his chin, his lips slightly pouting, watching the flashing lights and shadows on the big screen in front of him.

Although he was engaged by the plot, as a judge he obviously needed to see something beyond the plot.

For example, the language of the camera, the performance of the actors, the background of the movie, the color of the picture, etc.

Quentin was attracted by Chen Jin's smile.

His smile in every shot is different.

This may be difficult to understand, just like no two leaves are exactly the same.

The smile is definitely different.

But Chen Jin's smile, whether it is a natural expression or a performance, is like two different leaves, at least they are very similar. In fact, a performance can also produce a very formulaic smile.

This is the similarity, also called acting skills, and a good director can see it at a glance.

For example, showing a mouthful of white teeth is a brilliant smile.

But Chen Jin did show her white teeth, and her smile was very bright, but the expression of her smile was different every time.

Although he smiled like this to other people, it was just a subconscious grin; but to Jingqiu, his smile was contagious and people could feel his carefulness, care and admiration for the girl in front of him.

Others were respectful, friendly…all kinds of emotions.

This subtle difference made Quentin feel incredible.

Because at first he thought it was his own illusion, but when he really paid attention, he found that his smile was indeed changing.

Including his emotional progression towards the heroine.

As his relationship with Jingqiu deepens, the love in his smile becomes more obvious, and his eyes change, from bright to clear, and then to as if there is only that girl in his eyes. Therefore, the audience will be very involved in the emotions of the male protagonist.

"How did you do it?"

“Did the protagonist make adjustments for every emo shot?”

Quentin couldn't think of any other solution except this.

If an actor can think of this kind of change in every shot, then this young actor would be too scary.

And the other thing is… he wasn’t acting, it was genuine.

I am this kind of person in real life, so I can act so vividly.

But Quentin just watched an interview with Chen Jin, and he is not such a person at all in real life.

So now there are only two possible outcomes - one is that director Emo will adjust each shot, but this will take a long time to shoot, and it may take at least a year or two to complete.

Second, it’s the actors themselves.

Quentin naturally rejected this because no actor of his age could do this.

Trying to act different deliberately ends up being inferior.

But your acting is so good that even the director can't tell that you are using any technique, so how strong must your ability be?

thump!
The third brother jumped into the river with a shining look on his face. He looked at Jingqiu on the shore. He staggered in the river, but the smile on his face became more and more widespread. His white teeth looked particularly dazzling in the camera.

The natural smile on that face can't deceive anyone.

Finally saw Jingqiu again.

The third brother stood by the river, raised his head and looked at the girls on the shore with a lively look, his chest breathing slightly, which made people feel worried for him.

What a nice boy.

He gave all his love to the girl in front of him, sent her home, waited for her no matter how late it was, accompanied her to write materials, changed the light bulb when it was dim for fear that it would affect her eyesight, gave her a pen when it was leaking ink... and so on.

He noticed every detail of Jingqiu.

Not just any gift.

This boy is protecting the other person with all his love.

Now he jumped into the water just because he could see her again. After seeing her on the shore, he couldn't wait to jump in.

There was no hesitation at all.

“A great role!”

"A loving little boy who only knows how to give..."

“It’s a great performance too!”

Who hasn't been this stupid when they were young? !

When you love a girl, you want to give her everything.

Quentin is a foreigner, but he can understand the content and emotions. He also knows that the girl's family background is not good and she dare not express her feelings casually. She actually loves the third brother deeply, but her acting... is not as devoted as the male lead.

So this female lead did not attract Quentin.

The meeting between the two people in the river this time was actually to resolve the misunderstanding; before that, the third brother kissed Jingqiu for the first time.

They just touched each other's faces briefly, but before the audience could begin to feel the sweetness between the two, Jingqiu heard that Lao San had a blind date, and since then she has been deliberately avoiding Lao San and has not seen him since she left Xicunping.

So this also explains why the third brother was so excited that he jumped off the boat.

Jingqiu learned the truth and cleared up the misunderstanding.

Even though Jingqiu ignored the third brother before, he still silently paid attention to his beloved girl.

The village chief's son and daughter would send Jingqiu various kinds of food from time to time.

From daily necessities, to money, to walnuts and fruits... The third child would also secretly go to Jingqiu's school to watch her play volleyball.

Jingqiu just thought it was a gift from the village chief's family.

After knowing everything at this moment, tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at the third brother in front of him who was scratching his head and smiling foolishly, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.

Quentin gave a slightly satisfied smile.

That's more or less.

Jingqiu gave him a glimpse of something worthy of affirmation.

As for the third child, this silly kid got the true love of his goddess.

A great first love.

"But China should be very conservative in this era..."

Although Quentin could not understand such feelings, he could try to accept them.

Because the hero and heroine were indeed together, and they were talking about what he thought was a sweet love affair.

"I won't betray you!"

"You may have never been in love, so you don't believe there is eternal love in this world!"

"When you fall in love with someone, you will know that there is someone in this world who would rather die than go back on his word to you!"

The third brother expressed his love to Jingqiu with deep affection. His voice was magnetic and deep, and every word was rhythmically pronounced. These three simple and affectionate words made many people's hearts tremble and resonate strongly with their emotions.

Some female audience members even had red eyes, as if the three sentences said by Lao San were directed at them.

Very impressive line delivery skills.

Even though Quentin was reading the English subtitles, he could still hear Chen Jin's emotional look at Jingqiu's three sentences.

Even if you don't understand the language, you can still understand the strong emotional outbursts contained in the words.

"Awesome~~"

Quentin remembered a catchphrase his old friend Jiang Wen often said to praise others, and couldn't help but say it to Chen Jin in his heart.

This young Chinese actor is very talented!
