Actor's Bend

Chapter 68

The two chatted for about an hour. When Qi You was about to hang up the phone to prepare for the early morning scene, he asked Pei Shuo, "Is your movie finished?"

"You mean "Whale Language"? It was just completed yesterday, and the post-production should be very soon. I heard that it may be released by the end of the year."

"Well, did that guy make things difficult for you?"

Pei Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the "that guy" Qi You mentioned was Fei Yi, the director of "Whale Language".

"Of course not." Pei Shuo smiled, and said that Fei Yi is actually quite strange... Qi You happened, and after seeing Pei Shuo's attitude towards it, Fei Yi did not target him as before. It's too late for Pei Shuo.

"Okay, let's do it that way." Qi You felt that he had nothing to say and was about to press the phone, when Pei Shuo stopped him suddenly.

"The day after tomorrow, the movie will be released." Pei Shuo whispered.

Qi You thought for a few seconds before realizing that the movie Pei Shuo was talking about was "Perfect Evolution".He didn't seem to have paid attention to that movie since he joined the crew in England, so he was a little surprised to hear the news at first.

He didn't answer Pei Shuo's words, but just said "Oh" in a flat tone, so Pei Shuo didn't say anything else.

After hanging up the phone, Qi You looked at the slightly pale sky outside the window, and couldn't help thinking of the time when he and Pei Shuo were filming in Luochang a year ago.

Qi You remembers how serious Pei Shuo took this "Perfect Evolution", the way he struggled with the script every day, the way he was annoyed when he was NG, he didn't have his own role, his teeth chattered from the cold but he still insisted on watching other people's movies on the sidelines The look of the play...

There was also a publicity period ahead of time, Qi You couldn't help but frowned slightly when he thought of this, he actually saw the live photo of Pei Shuo speaking for himself at the signing.That guy's serious appearance really makes people feel helpless.

The sky in the distance gradually brightened up little by little, and the big clouds gradually took on the color of the sun's rays.Qi You looked out the window, wishing from the bottom of his heart that "Perfect Evolution" would be a great success, at least not to implicate Pei Shuo and even the efforts of the entire crew because of himself.

At twelve o'clock in the morning the next day, "Perfect Evolution" was screened simultaneously in theaters across the country. Pei Shuo couldn't hold back, so he bought a ticket for the midnight premiere to watch it together.

The attendance rate of the cinema was very high, which made Pei Shuo more or less relieved.

Because he had watched the first version of the clip before, Pei Shuo wasn't too surprised or looking forward to the film itself. He didn't even focus on himself, but secretly prayed that Qi You's part in the scene would be more or less reserved.

To Pei Shuo's disappointment, in the first edit, the close-up of Qi You's Darwin demon in the opening scene has been completely cut out.

Pei Shuo's heart sank, and he continued to look down without saying anything.

The pace of the film is fast, and the narration is relatively straightforward, and soon the first episode is ushered in: the plot where Darwin's demon breaks out of the laboratory out of control.

When the screen turned to reveal the broad river surface in the morning mist, Pei Shuo's heart suddenly rose—this entire scene was Qi You's scene, how could it not be cut?

Pei Shuo still remembered that this scene was Qi You's first scene after joining the team, and it was filmed in a temperature near zero.At that time, I was watching from the side, amazed by Qi You's performance and worried that he would not be able to bear it, in short, my mood was tangled.

Just when Pei Shuo couldn't help but lose his mind a little, the episode of the film suddenly picked up the pace.Then there was the sound of "crash", and Darwin's demon's exquisite but expressionless face suddenly appeared from the river.

With the 3D effect and the IMAX screen, Qi You's 360-degree face with no dead ends appeared on it. The dazzling red hair and red eyes, the beautiful but cold facial contours that make people tremble, even stained with Eyelashes with water drops, every detail clearly appeared on the big screen.

Pei Shuo clearly heard the gasps and screams of the girls in the row behind him, which he tried to suppress.

If the scene where Darwin’s demon suddenly appeared just now is refreshing, then the next long shot—the part where Darwin’s demon rushes from the bank to the bridge across the river will make all the audience feel refreshed. Can't look away.

In the thick morning mist, only the red color that seemed to be burning flames was moving rapidly, and then the camera gradually zoomed in, showing Darwin's demon half running.On the naked upper body, those gorgeous and complicated totems seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of light, and the slender and perfect muscle lines were unobstructed. It was almost convincing that this was the incarnation of a perfect creature.

Darwin's demon jumped onto the cross-river bridge and stood in the middle of the vast traffic. The laboratory personnel and the military who came to arrest it quickly surrounded it. Darwin's demon was surrounded by black guns, and armed people walked Approaching.

However, Darwin's demon surrounded by him didn't seem to care about anything, and his blood-red eyes were calm and indifferent, scanning the surroundings.

The next second, Darwin's demon narrowed his eyes dangerously, reached out and grabbed the gun closest to it, twisted the barrel like a toy pistol, and then dodged and grabbed the gun from the side and rear. The person who pounced on him mercilessly broke the opponent's neck.

The whole movement is done in one go, like a perfect killing machine that cannot make mistakes.

And the blood splashed by that unlucky ghost splashed a few drops on Darwin's demon's face. Its expression, which had remained unchanged, moved, and then stretched out the tip of its tongue, gently licking off the blood stains on its lips.

Pei Shuo remembered that when this scene was filmed, the female staff present basically looked like they could not look directly at Qi You.But now the scene of Qi You licking the corners of his lips is magnified and projected on the big screen, and the lethality is magnified dozens of times. The girl next to Pei Shuo has been holding her companion's hand, repeatedly yelling in a low voice, "I'm going to die." dying'.

Darwin's demon was out of control until ten minutes later, when Su Wei arrived at the scene.

The moment Su Wei appeared, Darwin's demon miraculously restrained its wanton murderous aura. It looked at the man wearing glasses expressionlessly, and let the man walk towards him step by step.

"Darwin, I'm Su Wei, follow me back."

When he heard the name 'Su Wei', Darwin's demon's expression changed obviously. He slightly opened his perfectly shaped thin lips, uttered the word 'Su Wei' with a stiff tone, and watched the other party walk towards him slowly. forward.

"It's me, it's okay." Su Wei raised his hand and gently wiped off the blood on Darwin's body, and Darwin's demon did not resist, and looked at Su Wei intently until Su Wei used the prepared anesthesia injection. fainted.

Until here, the scene with Qi You ended. Pei Shuo was very pleasantly surprised that Qi You could have such a long scene, and looking at the reactions of the audience around him, it seemed that he hadn't recovered from that scene.

Afterwards, some bits and pieces of scenes where Qi You appeared were all cut out.For example, the scene where the Darwin demon was injected with drugs and sent to freeze after completing the task, for example, the scene where Su Wei was furious after seeing Su Wei injured on the battlefield, for example, a fight scene where the alien biological mecha device was torn apart with his bare hands... Many Pei Shuo watched In the previous version, the scenes of Qi You disappeared.

Could it be that there will be no role for Qi You in the future?Pei Shuo looked at the screen absently, thinking anxiously.

However, after all, Pei Shuo was not disappointed. In the 122 minutes of the movie—nearly the end, the scene of Qi You finally appeared again.

That was the last scene Qi You filmed before filming, the scene where Darwin's demon was completely destroyed.

Darwin's demon, who was dying, had pain and anger in those beautiful red eyes, but more...regret.He was injected with a fatal injection by Dr. Su Cheng. In the ten seconds before he died, it did not resist or retaliate. Instead, it desperately turned its head to look at Su Wei, who was accidentally injured by himself and fell into a pool of blood.

"Su Wei..." Darwin's demon called the other party's name in a hoarse voice, still in that weird tone. It seemed to want to say something, but soon the injection took effect, and those bright eyes quickly dimmed.

Pei Shuo heard the soft sniffing of the girl beside him.

After walking out of the theater, it was past two o'clock in the morning, Pei Shuo calculated that it should be exactly afternoon at Qi You's side, so he excitedly called.

After hearing Pei Shuo say a lot of things in an excited tone like "Your scenes haven't been cut out", "The appearance is very, very cool", "Someone cried" and so on, Qi You just replied lightly. Sentence 'know'.

"What's wrong?" Pei Shuo sensed that Qi You was not in high spirits.

"It's nothing." Qi You was a little helpless, "Didn't you pay attention to the part of how others see you?"

Pei Shuo let out an 'ah' as ​​if he had just realized it. When he was watching a movie just now...it seemed that he really didn't pay much attention to himself.

"My role is not the point," Qi You said bluntly because Pei Shuo had no choice but to say, "The box office data on the first day, as well as Douhua.com's ratings and word-of-mouth, these are the points."

These combined factors are the key to whether you are likely to be shortlisted for your first film award, you know?Qi You said silently in her heart.

"Okay." Pei Shuo didn't think too much, but thought that Qi You was more concerned about these things, but his own excitement had not subsided at the moment, "What are you doing now?"

"Filming."

Well, from what this meant, I guess he was too lazy to talk to himself, so Pei Shuo wisely prepared to hang up the phone, and then he made a request on a whim.

"Your crew doesn't seem to post photos of your makeup? Why don't you send me a photo of you now?"

Qi You directly cut off the call.

And just when Pei Shuo thought that Qi You didn't intend to pay attention to his request at all, a photo actually came through on WeChat.

In the photo, the black-haired oriental youth was wearing a white shirt with a gold thread on the collar, and a button was unbuttoned, revealing his slender neck.

The gentle sunlight fell into his black eyes, adding some warmth to the slightly stern facial features.

Pei Shuo stared blankly at the photo of Qi You for a few seconds.

He has never seen Qi You's well-regulated look: neat black hair, crisp shirt, and a quiet and restrained oriental atmosphere exuding all over his body.

For the first time, Pei Shuo became very interested in Qi You's character and the movie.

The author has something to say: Cough, actually, when I watched the movie, I basically kept screaming in my heart like 'fucking so handsome'....OTZ
