A post-apocalyptic boss aspires to dominate the entertainment industry

The rest of the time passed very quickly. The crew of "The Cage" took a total of three months from start to finish. Zhao Shujing wrapped up filming at the end of October. On November 6th, Cen Yi, Qi Qingyuan and Xu Qiushi wrapped up, and Jiang Shuming officially announced the filming. Finish.

The promotion of "The Cage" has finally been fully launched. Originally, this movie was not favored, but with the disclosure of stills and behind-the-scenes, everyone was surprised to find that Jiang Shuming seemed to be serious this time, which inevitably caused some controversy. People's curiosity and expectations finally attracted two other investments besides Wu Ang's father, and she had enough money to take care of publicity.

When Cen Yi took on the role, he was jokingly said that he had lowered his status to be a spoiled brat, because apart from him, the only one who had more roles and was decent was Zhao Shujing. Fans once advised him not to be such a nice guy, but they didn't expect that after the behind-the-scenes of the fight between Qi Qingyuan and Qin Jue were released, the onlookers thought, hey, it seems to be quite factual, and Cen Yi finally stopped repeating it in the interview. "How does it feel to be led by new people" by connotation.

However, despite the increase in the number of people paying attention, Qi Qingyuan and Qin Jue, the two 18th liners, did not create any waves. However, fans of Xia Yuting, a small-time celebrity who had only appeared once, had a dispute with fans of Lin Xiaohan. The reason is that Xia Yuting's fans recognized Qin Jue's hat-wearing figure as the real owner of her family, and Lin Xiaohan happened to be smiling at her in the behind-the-scenes photo, so the fans made up their mind and thought about the popularity of female idols. My brother, who was trying to stir up scandals, started a fight without thinking and confused Lin Xiaohan and the few fans of her girl group.

"Look, you can see how confused I am." Lin Xiaohan chewed something on the other end of the video phone, slurring, "When people come to tear me apart, I have so few fans that I can't tear them apart."

"Isn't it nice not to have to worry about it?"

Qin Jue was sorting out the handwritten scores and stuffing several A4 papers into the folder one by one.

"The truth is like this -" Lin Xiaohan drawled, "But isn't it all black and red now? You can't even quarrel. At first glance, there is too little traffic and it's endless. People don't care about you. Are the fans in the fan circle worry-free? They only care about whether it’s hot or not.”

"It's quite strange." Qin Jue commented.

"Right." Lin Xiaohan nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's get started." Qin Jue installed the score, put on both headphones, and picked up the guitar.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

Lin Xiaohan swallowed the last mouthful of salad, wiped his hands and mouth with a wet wipe, and played a set of arpeggios on the electric piano.

Qin Jue nodded. The delay was very low and the rehearsal was ok.

…

The team building time scheduled by the crew was in mid-November, and the audition for "Daytime Rain" was at the end of November. Although there were few things to do, Qin Jue was still very busy considering the preparation work.

She paid Zhang Ming's salary and gave it generously. It didn't matter if he went back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, but Zhang Ming was very good at making things happen. He said that his parents had passed away and he would feel uncomfortable staying at the house of relatives he didn't know well when he returned. Just stay in Su City so that Qin Jue can be at your call.

But Qin Jue really doesn't need help with anything. Her life routine is dull. She writes scores, practices singing, and goes to the film and television space to practice acting. When she's done, she lies in the restraints for a few hours. She sleeps when she feels sleepy and takes a bath when she's still energetic. Take a shower, open the V blog and reply to fan comments, nothing new.

Zhang Ming also knew what was going on and didn't bother him. He found another job in the film and television city that provided three meals a day. He was also a part-time worker on the crew. In view of his experience, the salary he received was pretty good. Plus, Qin Jue gave him With a fixed salary, daily food and accommodation are not a problem.

On this day, Qin Jue put down his arranging project and went out in his clothes.

She has an appointment today with the psychiatrist whom Cen Yi asked about before.

The doctor lived in Hucheng, not far from Suzhou City, and it was only a high-speed train ride back and forth, so Qin Jue traveled lightly.

Their appointment was at two o'clock in the afternoon at the doctor's residence.

Qin Jue rang the doorbell and waited patiently for a few minutes before a woman wearing home clothes opened the door.

"You're here."

She smiled gently, as if she were a guest rather than a patient, and said, "Come in and sit down."

Qin Jue nodded.

This is a single-family two-story villa. The living room is spacious and bright, with warm decoration. There are several vases and various styles of utensils on the coffee table. Some are filled with flowers, some are empty, and there are a few flowers next to it. and specialized pruning tools.

"Thank you for the hard journey." The woman smiled, invited Qin Jue to the sofa, and poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Sister Lu." Qin Jue took the water glass and took a sip.

Her eyes fell on the coffee table. She knew that Dr. Lu had prepared it, but she still cooperated and asked: "Sister Lu is arranging flowers?"

Doctor Lu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Yes, do you want to try it?"

"Does this tell anything?"

"If you think you can, you can." Dr. Lu showed a gentle smile.

Qin Jue put down the water glass and leaned forward.

She is not familiar with flower varieties, nor does she know much about the so-called flower language and allusions. In the apocalypse, the first reaction when seeing a plant is whether it is poisonous or not, and whether it can be used as medicine. The second reaction is whether it has mutated, and whether it is necessary to dig up a plant and bring it back to the Seventh Military Division for study. As for whether it's good-looking or not, whether it's rare or not, I haven't paid attention to it for a long time.

Qin Jue picked one of them, a bright red one with overlapping petals and a gorgeous flower shape that was in full bloom.

She picked up the scissors, cut the flower branches into sections, and put them into a rectangular earthenware vessel without a lid.

There is two-thirds of clear water in the vessel, and short branches are floating on the water. In the corner of the vessel, blooming flower buds are floating on the water, bright and eye-catching.

"What is your interpretation of it?" Dr. Lu asked softly.

Qin Jue stared at it for a while and said bluntly:

"Human bones, and flowers blooming with blood."

She raised her head, and Dr. Lu looked into her eyes gently.

"Do you think it's cruel?"

"It's cruel." Qin Jue said, "But it's beautiful."

"Are you scared?"

Qin Jue paused.

"I would if I knew the name of this flower."

Doctor Lu nodded slightly.

"Do you have anything to share with me?"

Qin Jue turned his head and glanced out the window.

The afternoon sun shines down, coating the window frames with a warm color.

"The shutter switch is right here." Dr. Lu said softly.

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Jue withdrew his gaze and put aside the long paragraph about the end of the world. He spoke at a moderate speed and in a calm tone, starting from Qin Jingsheng's bankruptcy.

Dr. Lu listened quietly and nodded occasionally.

"...Not long ago, the filming of "The Cage" ended, that's it."

Qin took a sip of water without haste.

She did not conceal Qin Jingsheng's domestic violence and attempted death, nor did she avoid Jiang Qiuyue's hormone injections and morbid psychology of wanting a son. She also objectively described the fact that she had been involved in the boxing ring in junior high school, and that she had put her biological mother under house arrest not long ago.

Doctor Lu gave her some warm water.

Qin Jue thanked him, and the two looked at each other silently.

Dr. Lu is a very attractive woman. She wears light makeup, and it is difficult to tell her age at first. It seems reasonable to say that she is twenty, thirty, or forty years old. Her facial features are recognizable, but they are not Not very stunning, but the kind that leaves a deep impression on people. Combined with her calm and gentle temperament, it is easy to calm people down.

"You're still nervous."

Dr. Lu did not express his opinion immediately, but said softly.

Qin Jue smiled: "Yeah. I'm very vigilant."

In a strange environment and strange people, especially such people who make people relax, her vigilance will only be higher.

"I think you did go through a very difficult, dangerous time."

Dr. Lu spoke softly, his voice was calm, and his expression was not emotional or angry, but very gentle.

"Indeed." Qin Jue nodded.

"Your experience has turned you into a bystander. I think there are both active and passive factors in this." Dr. Lu smiled and said, "You know your situation very well."

Qin Jue pondered for a while and nodded.

"Your description is objective and calm, including when you mention your emotions and state of mind. This is a kind of psychological self-protection.

"People will modify or even make assumptions about things they don't want to face. To give a simple example, a little girl who was violated will describe the offender as a 'monster with guns on the lower body', thereby blurring the injury and making it It acts like a fantasy to protect yourself psychologically from facing the trauma of reality.

"You are a very rational person, and you know which kind of self-protection is best for you. So you let yourself become a bystander and look at it from the perspective of an outsider and a third party. This is a very good way of handling it. This way can make your heart stronger."

Dr. Lu smiled and continued, "It's just that the two sides of the matter determine that this method of treatment will still have its drawbacks."

Qin Jue listened quietly.

Dr. Lu's tone was calm: "I noticed that when you described these negative things, you lacked 'human touch' in your temperament. You were like a god without sorrow or joy, looking at your former self indifferently, which made you While possessing divinity, it also lacks some humanity.”

"Your temperament and your life are all trying to create the illusion of 'I am human.' You pretend to have a goal and work towards it, and you convince yourself, 'This way I am a living human being.' people'.

"But, Miss Qin, there is a living heart beneath your pretense."

Dr. Lu smiled slightly and his eyes were very gentle.

“When you mention filming, acting, directors, fellow actors, and fans, your perspective is wonderfully divided into three levels.

"The first level is what you are most accustomed to, God's perspective, without emotions; the second level is age-appropriate intimacy and affirmation. When facing your seniors, you have a childlike feeling of admiration. When facing your peers, you can also It’s a pleasure to be with them.”

A smile appeared on Qin Jue's lips: "Where is the third floor?"

"The third level is the one that aroused my curiosity." Dr. Lu smiled lightly, "On this level, you are like an experienced old man. Even if it is a director who is many years older than you, From your perspective, they all look like children.”

Qin Jue was stunned, smiled calmly, and sighed: "As expected of you."

"Look, that's it."

There was a hint of cunning in Dr. Lu's gentle expression, "You used the honorific title. On the second floor, you are a nineteen-year-old young man, showing courtesy and respect to older people."

"That's right." Qin Jue said with a smile, "I'm showing off, I'm just pretending."

She is an old man in her fifties, and she has always had a hard time pretending to be young.

"So from the perspective of the third level, I must be a child too?" Dr. Lu chuckled.

"That's not true." Qin Jue sighed with a smile, "Probably a person of the same generation."

"My pleasure." Dr. Lu nodded gently.

She asked again: "So Miss Qin, what is your inner direction?"

Qin Jue stretched out his hand to pick up the flower bone floating on the surface of the vessel and looked at it.

"The night Qin Jingsheng almost beat me to death, I felt like I was reborn." She vaguely revealed the facts and said calmly, "My mental age is about sixty or seventy years old, but my physical age is less than twenty. As you can see, I tried to behave more in line with my biological age, haha, but it brought a lot of fatigue."

Qin Jue did not crush the flower and gently put it back into the water.

She leaned back on the sofa and exhaled: "Old man, there is nothing I want to do. I work hard to find the goal and push myself forward. I can't stop. Once I stop, I don't know what I am doing. I don't know. What’s the point of living by yourself?”

She let go of her aura a little. She still looked like a teenager, but suddenly her whole body was filled with vicissitudes of life.

Doctor Lu pursed his lips and chuckled.

"Mrs. Qin, despite what you say, you actually still have a lot of energy and stubbornness in your bones."

Qin Jue laughed loudly: "Old guys are always like this. They don't like to admit defeat and are stubborn as hell."

"Then why not bring out this temperament?" Dr. Lu said with a smile, "Although your mentality is old, physiological factors will continue to have an impact."

She talked about a few medical terms and mentioned some relevant literature, "In a nineteen-year-old body, the physiological hormones and organ vitality will feedback to you the power of youth. Although your mentality is at the third level, slowly relax Open up and accept the present moment, the second level and the third level coexist and there is no conflict.”

Dr. Lu continued: "Also, coming back to the topic of divinity and humanity, I can feel that when you mention acting and fans, the human touch will be stronger."

"And, this is something that I admire very much. Even though your mentality is vicissitudes of life and kind, you still maintain strong empathy and empathy."

Qin Jue blinked slowly and acquiesced.

"Although you seem unwilling to admit this - can I ask, is this a different kind of self-protection, or is it because of the old man's face that you feel a little ashamed?" Dr. Lu asked.

Qin Jue was a little funny, but also a little helpless: "It's both."

"I guess my image just now must be that of a naughty child in your eyes." Dr. Lu said with a smile.

Qin Jue nodded arrogantly, with a smile that was unique to his elders.

"You are really special." Dr. Lu's eyebrows were soft and his tone was gentle, "Even though you have become old due to experience and experience, your soul is still interesting and gentle."

"……Alas."

Qin Jue's facial muscles twisted and his old face turned red.

Dr. Lu laughed out loud this time: "I think there is no need to talk more. Miss Qin, please try to make yourself more humane."

She smiled: "It can be seen that you have regarded acting as a part of your life and career. You respect this profession, respect the story in the script, and have a certain degree of interest in it, which is very beneficial."

"I don't have any more suggestions, but you can try not to be too restrained. You can try to share your mood and thoughts, especially the negative ones, with others. Fans, relatives and friends can all help. You become more human."

Qin Jue stood up, Dr. Lu also stood up, and they shook hands.

Dr. Lu finally said:

"You're not alone."

"Thanks."

Qin Jue smiled, turned and left.

The sun shines on her back.
