Actor's Bend

The days of attending classes at the Canaan Academy of Drama passed quickly, and it was early April in a blink of an eye.

For Pei Shuo, during the past one and a half months, the difficulty was not in professional courses, but in encountering some former friends.

Every time when Pei Shuo meets an acquaintance, he is always unable to call out the other person's name, and he is also careful in speaking when exchanging greetings, for fear of making any mistakes.He tried to avoid going to places where students gather, such as the atrium of the teaching building or the dining hall, but soon he was disappointed to find that Pei Shuo was so popular that he knew people almost everywhere he went.

After trying to say the wrong thing a few times and covering it up with a dry smile, Pei Shuo finally began to seriously consider how long he can keep his rebirth a secret?And how should I explain myself after being discovered.

When this idea popped up, Pei Shuo first thought of Qi You, and then he couldn't help imagining how the other party would react when he knew about it.

"Qi You, actually... I was born again..."

"...Did you take your medicine if you were sick?"

Thinking up to this point, Pei Shuo rubbed his hair in frustration, thinking that if he hadn't experienced this kind of thing, he would never believe it if others told him so.

After struggling like this for more than a week, when Pei Shuo was worried about whether he would reveal his secrets every day, Fiona's call saved him.

"Pei Shuo, come to the company in the afternoon. There is a movie book here for you to read, number one male."

Pei Shuo came to his senses: "A movie?! Actor?!" First of all, regardless of whether the script is good or bad, Pei Shuo felt unbelievably happy just because this is a leading actor in a movie that he found by himself without an audition. .

But Fiona's voice was not particularly excited, she gave a faint 'hmm': "Anyway, you can come and see this afternoon."

In the afternoon, Pei Shuo arrived at Fiona's office on time. After opening the door and entering, Fiona frowned at him.

"You're dressed like this and the security guard let you in like that?" Fiona looked at Pei Shuo, this guy was wearing a loose sweater and a pair of washed white jeans, he looked like he was going downstairs for a walk in home clothes .

After Pei Shuo understood what Fiona meant, he was a little bit shocked. He said to himself that this is obviously Qi You's style. The last time I saw Qi You's most popular group of hard photos in a magazine interview, it was such a match. How could it be placed on me? Just so unpopular?

"Hey, the name of this movie is quite fresh, isn't it? "Whale Language"?" Pei Shuo took the script, and when he scanned the title printed on the cover, he couldn't help but say, "So it's that kind of small art Do you just love movies?"

Fiona didn't answer, she sat down on the opposite side of the sofa, sighed in her heart, thinking that it would be easier if it was a small fresh movie.

The script doesn't feel too long, so Pei Shuo plans to go through it first.But what he didn't expect was that this script seemed to have an indescribable attraction, and from the moment he glanced at the first line, he couldn't stop at all.

In the quiet office, there is only the slight hum of the air conditioner from time to time, and the slow but rhythmic sound of pages turning. Fiona looked at the young man with the script resting on his knees and absorbed in reading the script, and couldn't help thinking complicatedly that taking this role was probably a certainty.

Turning to the last page, Pei Shuo felt the pain in his neck when he raised his head again.He raised his head and looked out the window at the approaching evening sky, only then did he realize the passage of time.

Embarrassed, she smiled at Fiona. Pei Shuo was about to speak when she heard Fiona ask herself: "I like this script very much? Have you decided to accept it?"

Pei Shuo didn't nod immediately, but hesitated for a moment before saying: "I like it very much, whether I will accept it or not... To be honest, I'm not sure."

Fiona raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you always confident?"

"Is there?" Pei Shuo scratched his head, "But this character is really..."

"Oh, by the way," Fiona suddenly interrupted Pei Shuo as if remembering something, "This role was originally for Qi You."

Hearing that Pei Shuo's eyes widened immediately, is Qi You playing this role?He couldn't help thinking about it, and thought that it was simply not an ordinary fit.

"So Qi You refused, and that's why you came to me?" Pei Shuo asked nervously.

"Probably." Fiona nodded, raised her hand and looked at her watch, "I have something to do tonight, anyway, think about it carefully, and give me an answer before noon tomorrow."

Back at the apartment, Pei Shuo hesitated for a moment, but still called Qi You, and the other party answered after two rings.

"The "Whale Language", why did you reject the male lead?"

Qi You seemed to be distracted by Pei Shuo's direct question, and subconsciously replied, "Why, it's not appropriate." After a few seconds, he realized, "How do you know this?"

Pei Shuo probably told about the script he read today, and finally he asked, "Do you think I want to take it?"

Qi You fell silent, and then said after a while: "I personally advise you not to accept it, because in this kind of film, the audience can tell at a glance whether you acted well or not, and the heroine has already been determined. It's Yan Xuyao, if you play against her, you might become a supporting role just from the aura."

Pei Shuo gave a low 'hmm', he couldn't refute what Qi You said.Moreover, if the heroine is Yan Xuyao... Pei Shuo couldn't help recalling the performance of the first sister Xingjiang in the soy sauce "Clinic No. [-]", her acting skills were undoubtedly outstanding.

"However, since your agent didn't help you refuse, it means that she still hopes that you can think about it," Qi You continued, "You should know how high the quality is after reading the script, right? To you For an artist like this who can't follow the idol route, if you seize this opportunity, then you can prove your strength to the outside world."

Pei Shuo was a little depressed by Qi You's evaluation of himself as 'can't follow the idol route', but after listening to the second half of the sentence, he was very itchy by the phrase 'prove yourself'.

At night, Pei Shuo tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, finally got up and turned on the desk lamp, and couldn't help but open the script again.

The male protagonist of the movie "Whale Language" is Xie Yuan, and the female protagonist Ye Xiaoyan is the step-sister of the male protagonist and suffers from congenital autism.Xie Yuan loved Ye Xiaoyan very much since he was a child, and as he grew up, with the help of doctors, Ye Xiaoyan's autism gradually began to improve, at least he was able to go to university normally, and became a designer after graduation.

Ye Xiaoyan has been receiving treatment since she was a child. A very useful part of the treatment for her is going to the aquarium to play with animals such as whales and dolphins. After her autism has gradually improved, Ye Xiaoyan still likes to go to the ocean from time to time Go to the hotel and stay there for a whole day.

And because of his sister's liking, Xie Yuan became a trainer in the aquarium after graduating from university.

The development of the story was uneventful until Ye Xiaoyan met someone who moved her heart, but she didn't expect that that person was just approaching her intentionally at the instigation of colleagues around her who wanted to see a joke.From timidity, to probing, to falling in love with each other uncontrollably, Ye Xiaoyan devoted his whole heart to that person, but in the end he was half-coerced into bed and then abandoned.After that, Ye Xiaoyan's symptoms suddenly intensified, and he couldn't even think about committing suicide by jumping off a building. After being rescued, he was completely paralyzed.

After being discharged from the hospital, Ye Xiaoyan's autism developed to the severe level he had when he was a child, and he hardly responded to the people around him.

Except for Xie Yuan.

When facing Xie Yuan, Ye Xiaoyan would show a sad expression and tell her elder brother who had been by her side since childhood that she was very sad, but she couldn't say anything about what exactly happened.

According to the description in the script, Xie Yuan has been very calm until now, or in other words, superficially calm.

When such a thing happened to the treasure that he held in his palm since he was a child, Xie Yuan naturally would not let it go.He didn't believe that Ye Xiaoyan would become like this just because of a broken relationship, so he started to investigate, and after knowing that what his sister suffered was only because of other people's foolish teasing, Xie Yuan decided to take revenge.

He created a series of serial murders, tied six people related to this incident to the aquarium and killed them one by one. The police were clueless.

And after killing the last one—the person Ye Xiaoyan once liked, Xie Yuan chose to surrender.On the day before being taken away by the police car, Xie Yuan pushed the wheelchair for the last time and took Ye Xiaoyan to the aquarium to see whales.

"Hey, those who bullied you are all dead," said Xie Yuan's last line. "Don't you like watching whales the most? They all watched with their own eyes how I made those people disappear, so, You don't have to be afraid anymore."

After reading the whole script, Pei Shuo found that there were not many lines for Xie Yuan, because getting along with the autistic Ye Xiaoyan didn't need too many words.That is to say, to play the character of Xie Yuan well, it depends more on details such as movement and demeanor, which is undoubtedly a big challenge.

Can I really play this role well?Pei Shuo sighed softly, he was worried that if he didn't get it right, he might turn Xie Yuan into a perverted murderer.

While Pei Shuo was thinking, he took the phone to check the time, but found that there were two more unread messages on the phone.Click on it and see that it was all sent by Qi You an hour ago.

"Don't think about what you have and what you don't have. If you don't act, you won't know whether you can act well."

Pei Shuo was a little moved, thinking that Brother Qi was trying to comfort me?However, Qi You always feels a bit contrary to such words similar to chicken soup for the soul...

He clicked on the next text message.

"Although you stayed a little bit, it's not too bad. Have some confidence."

Pei Shuo rubbed his nose embarrassingly, and said to himself, this is Qi You's style.

But having said that, I really don't have much confidence, maybe I will be complained by the audience after the performance.But if you don't do it yourself, it's tantamount to giving up directly, and you haven't even tried hard.Thinking about his ambitious goal of 'to catch up with Qi You' set last month, Pei Shuo's head suddenly became hot.

"I want to take this role!" Pei Shuo picked up the phone and typed these words, and sent them directly to Fiona without hesitation.

The author has something to say: I have wanted to write a meme about sister control + killer for a long time, so I turned it into a script in my mind, I hope I will not write too frustratingly_(:з」∠)_

And, I know it's a shame to be out of date, but there are so many exams this week that I want to give myself some wax

Will work hard to update~!
