I raised the whole heaven

The data of the birthday party let people from all walks of life see Chuci's influence and fan appeal, which were reported by many media. In this era where data determines everything, with this wave of enthusiasm, Chuci also Further opened up the popularity.

Two weeks later, he received the second script from Tang Yuan.

It's just that when Tang Yuan handed over the script to him, his expression revealed some worry. He sat beside him and said, "This director is quite strict, and every detail is carefully checked. If you really go, I'm afraid You have to suffer."

"Then what's the matter?" Chu Ci was already mentally prepared for the hardship, so he opened the script first, "Let me see the plot."

Unexpectedly, this is a story about war.

The story takes place in the most humiliating part of the history of the entire Chinese nation. Soldiers and iron horses trampled on the land wantonly, and the people were devastated and devastated.

The hero of the story was just a simple and kind man at first.He is a good hand at work, as strong as a cow, and his lifelong dream is to marry the most handsome girl born in the east of the village back home.Although the world is chaotic and complicated, his life is simple and harmonious, the girl he likes blushes when she sees him under the tree, the parents leave the best rice for him to eat...these It made his poor days almost shine.

Finally, the girl in his heart shyly told him that what she wanted was a kind of wild flower that only bloomed in the mountains, and she wanted to weave a string of wreaths with that flower, and embroidered the petals on her red shoes.When the shoes are finished, she will marry herself and the new shoes together.

He naturally agreed.

He stayed on the mountain for two full days, carefully selecting and finally selecting the best wild flowers that bloomed-and he came down the mountain with a heart full of heart and eager enthusiasm, thinking that this is what he was about to see. The most beautiful thing in the world.

But what opened to him was the gate of hell.

The devil has come.

The ransacked village stood alone in the same place, still emitting black smoke. He found the scattered corpses of his parents and girl in the blood stains all over the ground.

In the previous second, he thought that what he would get was the greatest happiness in the world.But now, fate has completely torn off its veil, revealing a foul-smelling and malicious smile, the corners of the mouth are curled up coldly, as if mocking with extreme disdain: Look, you think everything will be fine ?

The male protagonist stayed in the burned village for three days almost insanely.Afterwards, holding the bright red embroidered shoe in his arms, he threw himself into the guerrillas without hesitation.He has great strength and a flexible mind, and he has a deep-seated hatred for those beasts. When he really faces the enemy face to face, the strength he bursts out even amazes everyone.In the guerrillas, his position became more and more important, and gradually he had a group of brothers who were born and died.

Just when Chu Ci thought this would be the beginning of the hero's tragic revenge, the plot suddenly took another big turn.

He was captured.

The officer who captured him dragged him all the way to the barracks where he was stationed, and cruelly adopted all kinds of tortures in order to force information out of him, from pulling out his nails to breaking his arms. Every time he was so painful that he was almost unconscious, but he They all endured it.He stubbornly refused to utter a single word, and when he was almost driven mad, he just yelled at him—all the officers had nothing to do with him, and finally they had to call on the "lunatic" they called.

The lunatic is not crazy at all, on the contrary, he is handsome and beautiful like a rich man, always wearing snow-white gloves, and lowering his eyes carelessly.However, what is completely different from his appearance is his means. In terms of torturing people, he is far less human than anyone the hero has ever seen; even calling him in the barracks is a bit of awe. Call him the lunatic Major.

The male protagonist looked at the pair of spotless gloves with hatred. He knew that they were soaked in the bright red blood of his compatriots. Even when he passed out, he was imagining how to lift the knife and chop off the head of the devil in front of him. ——But when he woke up, he was still the tortured prisoner, gritted his teeth and struggled in front of the ferocious devil.

The screenwriter's writing skills are very good, and he is good at depicting people's hearts in subtle ways. When dealing with this kind of national hatred and family hatred, the kind of passionate and soul-stirring blood almost makes people cry with excitement.It's just that the script happened to be stuck at a critical point, Chu Ci couldn't wait to turn it backwards, and immediately frowned: "It's gone?"

He was still waiting to see how the hero escaped under heavy surveillance!

"It's gone." Tang Yuan spread his hands, "The actor has not been decided yet, the script can't reveal too much to the outside, and we can only get so much."

Chu Ci went through the previous script again, and had some guesses in his heart: "Which character is the one I want to audition for?"

Sure enough, Tang Yuan's hand immediately touched the two big blood-red characters, "Crazy."

--------

Bian Ming is already a very prestigious director in the industry.He is especially fond of realistic subjects, and his best shooting technique has always been to directly hit the dark places of people's hearts, showing all kinds of bizarre stories in the last century through lens and pictures full of age.A professional film critic once commented on the films directed by him, saying that each of Bian Ming's films is like a thunderous thunder, which abruptly wakes up people's souls from their confusion, and wakes them up. Only when a hole of light is opened in the dark sky can it be considered a success.

It tells the story of the previous generation, but describes the mood of this generation.

Bian Ming has held the script of "They" for three years.From the sudden inspiration at the beginning to the words and phrases that have been polished with countless painstaking efforts, he does everything by himself, even the script is written by himself, and he is not willing to pretend to be someone else.He regards film as the most important career in his life, so he naturally does not allow anyone to ruin his efforts, and he is extremely strict in auditions.

When Chu Ci arrived, he had already politely sent away the four little fresh meats who were said to have teary eyes, and the atmosphere of the entire audition scene was so stagnant that it almost froze.When Chu Ci came in to introduce himself, he raised a pair of eagle-like eyes from above the script, and looked him up and down.

Immediately, his gaze rested on Chu Ci's hand.

Chu Ci wore a pair of white gloves.

Regarding this pair of gloves, the script actually only used two sentences to describe them.However, in such a dark prison where no light can be seen, they are so white that they are almost blinding, clearly distinguishing the lunatic from other people - the protagonist looks at such a pair of gloves, wishing to tear them off Hate in pieces.

However, it was such an important status symbol, but only the one in front of him noticed it among the interviewees.

A smile finally appeared on Bian Ming's face. He threw the script in his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "The interrogation part."

Immediately afterwards, he noticed that Chu Ci's expression changed suddenly.

His back was straightened suddenly, his movements were unhurried, and he even adjusted his gloves carelessly, but his unique demeanor told others that he was a soldier who had received severe training.

He lazily lowered his beautiful inconceivable eyes, and then from the corner of his eyes, he looked at Void from the corner of his eyes, as if he was looking at a lowly ant.

"Is that him?"

Bian Ming's expression changed suddenly - Chu Ci said this sentence in Japanese.The protracted tone, because it was covered by the brim of the hat made it impossible to see his expression clearly, his voice was filled with a metal-like cold texture, reminiscent of the fallen Lucifer, chilling , A voice without any emotion that a human being should have.

Immediately afterwards, his expression suddenly became fierce, as if he was holding something in his hand, and he pressed it down hard towards the void without mercy—a mournful wail sounded in his ears, but his eyebrows and eyes were still full of Impatient and indifferent, with a faint cruel smile.

"Just like this, can't you take it anymore?" He hooked his rosy lips upwards, with thrilling malice, like a devil whispering in hell, "Where is this going? Next, there are some It's fun."

That kind of gaze even made several assistant directors who were interviewing him lean back unconsciously. For a moment, it seemed that they were really face to face with a murderer. Every cell clamored to stay away from the person in front of him.

Silent.

Until Chu Ci blinked, pulled himself out of the situation just now, and regained his innocent appearance: "Director?"

Bian Ming rested his hand on his chin, and there was a hint of deep thought on his face.He glanced at the inconceivable Chu Ci who was soft and cute at the moment, and suddenly laughed shortly: "Interesting."

Several assistant directors who had seen the performance just pulled the stool away with lingering fear.

Mom, it's scary, this man has two faces...

The next question was a few routine questions, but when the audition was about to end, Bian Ming suddenly stopped Chu Ci and asked another question that had nothing to do with the movie.

"A train is approaching fast ahead, and there are two forks. There are fifteen children playing on one side, and only two children on the other side. The train can't stop, and they can't get out of the way—you can let When the train changes lanes, which side will you let the car go?"

This question was asked too strangely, Chu Ci frowned, unable to guess his intention, but still answered according to his own ideas.

"Director Bian, this is not something I can decide."

"If you give up the decision, fifteen children will be run over to death by the train," Bian Ming tapped his fingers on the table, unceremoniously pushing him into a more difficult situation, not allowing him to retreat at all. "Would you rather choose to sit idly by and watch them suffer this calamity?"

"..."

This is actually not a question that can be answered in a few words.Chu Ci gritted his teeth, thought carefully, and then said: "Anyone's life should be respectable. They all have the right to choose to let themselves live."

"If it's really not an option...then, I can only let the side with more people live." He whispered, "After all, one more person means more hope, at least one more person can be saved." Family, without a heartbroken parent ... that should be the only right place for this choice."

When he said these words, Bian Ming kept carefully watching his expression, until the end, he smiled with an unknown meaning.

"Very well," he said slowly, "you can go."

Tang Yuan was waiting in the car outside, and when he saw him coming out, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Are you sure?"

Chu Ci shook his head, then got into the car and reluctantly told Tang Yuan about the audition.He also explained the last strange question, but he was still confused, as if he found a strange glimmer of light in it, but he didn't seem to find anything - looking carefully, he was still in this place. In a fog that cannot be seen or guessed.

Tang Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and felt weird in his heart, but as a manager, he still cheered up and comforted Chu Ci with a smile: "It's okay, maybe it's the director's whim. It is more difficult than TV dramas, even if we miss this opportunity, we will have another one!"

As he was talking, he really cheered up, shaking his head in the driver's seat following the music: "At worst, let's go back to pick up that youth idol drama, and have a few more years of youthful meals... Hehe... "

Chu Ci felt helpless at his hey laugh, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes."

He lowered his head to look at the time, and then said: "Wait a minute, Yuanyuan, go down and help me buy something."

Tang Yuan responded without thinking too much: "What to buy?"

......

A moment later, he was sweating profusely among a group of old men and women who were shopping for vegetables, and almost desperately snatched the last batch of fresh Pippi shrimp.Chu Ci asked for a lot, so he scooped away less than half of the tank in one go, and forcibly divided a third, causing the old lady beside him who didn't grab it to keep sniping at him.

"Young people nowadays, they can eat one by one..."

Tang Yuan could only chuckle: "I eat a lot, I eat a lot."

He was carrying a full bag in one hand, and checked the message from Chu Ci on his phone with the other: "Lamb...cumin powder...cotton candy...chicken wings?" There were 23 items in the list, and he was so frightened that his voice broke, and he yelled out, "What is this little ancestor doing, buying so much?!"

It wasn't until he yelled out that he noticed the surprised eyes of the people around him looking at him, swallowed his voice silently and obediently, and continued to line up at the appointment place to buy groceries.

Chu Ci's popularity is getting higher and higher now, it is not good to go to places with many people, so he has to entrust this important task to a manager who has several jobs, and he leans on the car to listen to music.After listening to more than a dozen songs for a full round, I saw Tang Yuan squeezed out of it profusely with sweat: "It's terrible! Why are there so many people? Is the entire population of China stuffed into supermarkets?"

Chu Ci smiled, took the full bag in his hand, and thoughtfully unscrewed a bottle of water and sent it over: "Thank you, Yuanyuan."

Tang Yuan felt comfortable being taken care of by him. Just thinking about it, he still couldn't hold back the worry in his heart, and said insinuatingly, "Xiaoci, you bought these and ate them yourself?"

Seeing his artist nodding, he immediately became more worried: "This is for twenty people. According to this way of eating, I guess I have to call an ambulance to save you!"

Chu Ci: ...

He could only explain, "It's not just me."

Tang Yuan originally wanted to ask who else was there, but after thinking about it, this should be his boss's concern, so he swallowed the sentence very smoothly, and turned to look at Chu Ci anxiously.He didn't say anything else, just looked at it with a pair of round eyes full of expectation.

Chu Ci was flustered by his watery eyes, so he had no choice but to turn his head back, and compromised, "I'll cook soup for you in two days."

Tang Yuan immediately regained his mental balance, and turned around to drive with full confidence.

-----------

A barbecue grill had already been set up on the balcony of the house, and the beast with golden eyes was sitting beside it, watching Chu Ci process the mutton.Chu Ci's culinary skills are all cooked for himself. He has a lot of aura in this, and he is also smooth in handling the ingredients. Powder, light soy sauce, cooking wine, etc. for marinating.His fingers were slender and white, and they were amazingly beautiful when stirring in the basin. The golden-eyed beast simply stood up, turned back and forth by his legs, and urged it in a childlike voice.

Taishang Laojun and Avalokitesvara watched the Pippi shrimp strangely there, poked the hard shell and found that it could not be poked, so they simply tied a thin thread around its neck, and wandered around the room leisurely. .

Chang'e rolled up her sleeves to help, but her slender fingers did not touch the spring water, and the good mutton skewers were also worn crookedly, which was quite abstract.Chu Ci poked his head over to look at the horrific finished product in her hands, and had no choice but to praise without conscience: "... Fairy did a good job."

Help, my conscience hurts.

Letting the gods cook together is definitely not the right decision.On the one hand, Chu Ci was worried that Pippi Xia would not be played to death by those two playful gods, and on the other hand, he was worried about Chang'e's mutton skewers. Of course, the other side was more important:

"Nuwa Empress, I beg you, can we put down the marshmallow? Even if you make a human form out of it, you won't be able to become a human!"

"Also, Lord Yan, please don't let the bloody ghost go back and forth through the ingredients—even if it doesn't affect you, it will make people feel uncomfortable when you see it."

When he turned his head again and met Baihua Fairy who just came back and was playing with stringing petals with an iron stick, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he was completely speechless.

...He felt that he was like a teacher who took a group of elementary school students out for a spring outing.

It was so easy for them to have enough fun, and the barbecue was finally on the right track with difficulty.The skewered ingredients were brushed with some shiny oil, placed on the grill that had already been turned on to full power, and tightly attached to the iron frame, there was a sound of puffing and puffing immediately.The white smoke full of salty fragrance also rushed up, causing a group of gods to get closer.

The mutton kebabs were grilled brown and shiny, and the edges were even slightly burnt. The balcony surrounded me was full of the enticing smell of burnt fat. After adding cumin and a little chili, even the initial fishy smell is completely covered up, and all that is left is the irritating aroma.

A group of gods watched eagerly, almost knocking the empty bowl with a chopstick.

After Chu Ci said "It's done", they immediately stretched out their hands, and couldn't wait to grab a handful—the meat texture in their mouths was completely different from the usual mutton, the outside was roasted crispy and slightly hard, but the inside was still tender tender.Chu Ci chooses the best lamb, which is full of fat. When biting into the mouth, the hot and delicious taste can make people swallow their tongues.

"This is a good way!" Chang'e's almond eyes lit up.

Normally, most of the food offered to them is cooked food, but there are very few of them grilled like this.Most of them tasted this taste for the first time, and only then did they realize that there is still such a delicious taste in the world. Compared with those bland foods, it is indeed much more stimulating to the taste buds.

Chuci rescued the marshmallows that hadn't been ravaged by Nuwa, and continued to put a bunch of them on the barbecue grill. Taishang Laojun was confused: "Xiaoci, isn't this candy? Can you eat it like this?"

"Trust me." Chu Ci continued to put it up without raising his head, until the marshmallow was slightly curled up after being toasted, then he took it off and handed it to Laojun.

Taishang Laojun was skeptical, carefully parted his beard and took a bite. The mouth tasted sweet and honey, and the outside was a bit crispy, but it melted in his mouth suddenly, turning into a puddle of warmth. And the sweet sugar water - it spreads slowly on the tongue with some warmth, gently and softly passes through the esophagus, and is finally properly contained in the stomach.

He couldn't say anything else, he just put his hand on Chu Ci's shoulder, and patted again and again sincerely.

fortunately.

Fortunately, the only one who has a fairy fate is the one who can cook.

Everyone who ate this dinner was very happy, except that it took a little longer to fight with the pippi shrimp, and the other ingredients were wiped out almost instantly.The weight of 20 people in Tang Yuan's mouth disappeared in a blink of an eye. In the end, they patted their swollen stomachs and felt an unprecedented level of satisfaction.

Chu Ci thoughtfully boiled sour plum soup, which was sour and sweet, and quenched thirst, which happened to relieve the greasy barbecue.He placed the pot of sour plum soup on the table, and was about to turn his head to get a spoon, when he suddenly heard his phone ring.

Glancing at the contact person, it was Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan's voice was full of excitement, but he wanted to forcefully ask him: "Guess what good news I have to tell you?"

Chu Ci: ...

He recalled it carefully, and answered neatly: "Have you grown your hair again?"

Tang Yuan choked on his words, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the few remaining hairs on his head, and immediately realized: "My hair is still there!"

"Okay, okay," Chu Ci said helplessly, "Then what news do you have?"

"Today's role has been decided!" Tang Yuan yelled at him at the other end, "Xiao Ci, congratulations, from today onwards, you will officially become the second male lead of the crew of "Them"!"

The news came out of nowhere, and Chu Ci was stunned: "So fast?"

"Yes!" Tang Yuan could not wait to stand on tiptoe and twirl around, "I have already sent the electronic version of the script to your mailbox, and the paper version will arrive tomorrow. You should think about this character carefully in the past few days—"

When dealing with work, Chu Ci is far more serious than ordinary people.After he hung up the phone, he immediately opened the file and read the script carefully from beginning to end.

Tang Yuan kept pinching the time, and called again almost as soon as he finished reading: "How are you doing? Okay?"

Chu Ci held the script, and after a long silence, he said, "Well, I finally understand why the director asked me this question."

"???"

"It's just that before, I always thought I was a villain." He paused, and sighed sincerely, "Director Bian really mastered this trick."
