100 ways to stop a stand-in

The man in the newspaper was walking out of the dimly lit bar. His legs wrapped in black pants were long and straight, and the collar of his white shirt was slightly turned up. He covered his eyes with his unobtrusive hand, as if he hadn’t gotten used to it yet. Street light.

There is a line of small characters printed on the tofu block-sized page: The former film king is now reduced to a third-rate movie male supporting role.

Through the gaps between the sharp knuckle fingers holding the newspaper, it can be seen that the owner of the hand has good eyebrows and eyes, a clean and handsome face, and a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes make him look gentle and affectionate, but the line from the forehead to the corner of the eye The sudden scars ruined the overall gentleness and elegance, adding a bit of sternness and ruthlessness to him.

The newspaper was shaken by people, Jiang You looked at the row of small characters on it, raised his eyebrows, smiled and said to the people next to him: "I haven't published a newspaper for a long time, although it is only a small section."

The person sitting next to him is a new kid, Ke Bai, who was sitting there bored playing with his mobile phone, waiting for the next scene to be filmed, when he heard the sound, he glanced up at him, and said with a sneer, "Hey, I thought you were Is it the same as before? Wake up quickly, don’t look at what kind of ghost you are now, if you can have a small page, you should burn the incense.”

Seemingly unwilling to say more to him, Ke Bai stood up and walked away disdainfully.

Faced with his attitude, Jiang You just shrugged and continued to read other sections of the newspaper.

If this situation had happened three years ago, it would have been absolutely impossible. It is no exaggeration to say that not only would such a situation not have happened, but the entire production crew would have revolved around him.

How beautiful Jiang You was three years ago, how desolate he is now.With the appearance of a small-budget film with fringe themes called "Backlight" in the nomination for the Golden Lion Award at the International Film Festival, Jiang You appeared so abruptly in the public eye. With a gentle and aggressive face, Jiang Youhuo's unexpected, yet reasonable.

At a time when the general public is tired of looking at all kinds of youngsters in the circle, Jiang You's clean, bright and angular face is unique.When the film "Backlight" hit the theaters, Jiang You unexpectedly won the favor of Ann, a well-known director in the industry, and starred in his new film's male lead, and won the Golden Horse Best Actor in one fell swoop.Since then, various film appointments have followed one after another. With his own acting skills, the blessing of famous directors and good scripts, Jiang You won many domestic best actor awards in one fell swoop. It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that Jiang You was so popular at that time.

It's just that this good luck, which is difficult for ordinary people, did not last. A well-planned car accident left him with multiple comminuted fractures all over his body, and he was lying in bed for more than a year. What was left of him was a hideous wound running through his eyebrows and eyes, which was fatal to an actor.

During his one-year hospitalization, the company deliberately blocked everything from the outside world. There was no TV, no computer, no mobile phone, not even newspapers.Jiang You seemed to be under house arrest in a disguised form, and all channels to communicate with the outside world were blocked by the company.

When Jiang You recovered and walked out of the nursing home, everything outside had undergone earth-shaking changes.Jiang You seems to have been erased from the public's memory. Occasionally, when someone mentions him, he is just an understatement, oh, Jiang You, that unlucky actor who got into a car accident?Hi, he is out of date.

Jiang You has always been aware that people in the world are forgetful, but what makes him feel strange is that not only is he deliberately forgotten, but all the classic movies he has shot have also been downplayed. This is obviously abnormal, even if the company With the strength and means, it is impossible to block even those outstanding works. Let alone the awards and nominations behind those works, let's just say that there are many well-known directors in those works. How can the company Will he offend those famous directors in order to block him?

Later, Jiang You tentatively called a few directors who had a good relationship with him, but unexpectedly, the people on the other end of the phone were all unfamiliar and polite, as if they were dismissing an unfamiliar stranger. , is no longer as familiar as it once was.

Not only that, Jiang You also saw a frequently mentioned name on TV, Shen Yize.Not only did Jiang You know this person, but he was quite familiar with him.When Jiang You was popular, Shen Yize was his martial arts stand-in.

The reason why he was chosen to be his stand-in back then was not because he resembled Jiang Youchang so much, but because Shen Yize's figure was very similar to him.In Jiang You's impression, Shen Yize is a taciturn, hard-working young man who never appears on TV as Shen Yize with a bright smile on all sides.

Then, Jiang You checked the information and found that all the movies, endorsements, and announcements he received before the car accident were all transferred to Shen Yize, even his former manager, assistant, and even the head of the fan club were all transferred to Shen Yize. He came to Shen Yize's side.

What's even more outrageous is that Jiang You searched for some movies made by Shen Yize, and actually felt his own shadow from the movies. The familiar movements were Jiang You's appearance when he was trying to figure out the script in front of the mirror countless times. He was imitating himself!

He also found the songs sung by Shen Yize and the commercials he filmed, and sure enough, his shadow was everywhere in them.

Jiang You stopped, and he didn't choose to continue to investigate, because he knew clearly that even if he continued to investigate, there would be no results.

"Jiang You, what are you doing? Hurry up and put on makeup! Do you want the whole crew to wait for you?" A sharp female voice awakened Jiang You from his memories. Jiang You responded and folded the newspaper in his hand. Get up, put it on the stool, turn around and walk towards the public dressing room.

The newspaper placed on the stool was a little crumpled, but the huge title on it was still clearly visible - Shen Yize was nominated for the Oscar for the first time...

Jiang You changed into a tattered black robe, his hair was styled like a beggar by a stylist, a patch of dark paint was painted under his eyes, and with the scars, his whole face looked haunted.

He stood on the steep slope and looked down. The water was rushing, and the scene being filmed now was to fly around the steep cliff of Wia, holding a sword and making beautiful fight scenes with the decent protagonist.

If he used to play dramas, he was okay, but since the car accident, his body has not been so obedient, but for the sake of salary, Jiang You still gritted his teeth and held on.

Ke Bai, who had mocked him before, was playing on his mobile phone surrounded by assistants. He played the decent protagonist, but he was not on stage when filming this scene, but a substitute.

The stand-in was ready, Jiang You stepped on the stone wall under the command of the director, the sword edge swung a full moon, the stand-in avoided the sharp edge, and stabbed sideways.Jiang You's horizontal sword, block it with two clangs!

"Cut—" the director yelled not far away, "This one is over, let's prepare for the next scene. Let them down first!"

Before the staff stepped forward, Jiang You suddenly heard a crackling sound, and then the stand-in swayed in mid-air. He looked up and saw that Fang Weiya's rope was hanging on the branch, and he couldn't take it back for a while.

The staff underneath were about to go up the tree to push the branch away, but the rope broke, and the stand-in suddenly fell down. The remaining two ropes were barely hanging on, and he stopped and tilted in mid-air.

All of a sudden, there was screaming and chaos.

Seeing such a dangerous scene at close range, Jiang You was naturally frightened. Seeing that the stand-in was about to move, he immediately said, "Don't move!"

But the other party was already struggling. With his movement, the remaining rope couldn't support him at all. The ropeway slipped, and the stand-in immediately ran towards Jiang You!

Several ropes were entangled, and the double fell down with him!

Hearing the chaotic screams, Jiang You thought to himself that this is really a sudden disaster, the sky is going to kill me... The next second he sank into the river below with a plop, his mouth immediately poured several sips of water, and there were thousands of bubbles in front of his eyes Surging, the ears are full of rushing water.

I don't know how long it took, everything around my ears seemed to have stopped, and Jiang You's breathing gradually became inaudible...

His consciousness fell into chaos.

When Jiang You regained consciousness again, he saw his body lying quietly on the hospital bed. He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to touch his body, but unexpectedly his arm passed straight through. He touched his body, and before he could figure out what happened, a cold mechanical electronic sound rang in his ears.

"Jiang You, your current body is in a state of brain death. If you don't integrate with the system, your mental body will completely dissipate within 10 minutes." The voice of the electronic voice did not fluctuate at all.

"...Oh, let's go." Jiang You casually looked at his hand that was gradually becoming transparent, and said calmly.

The electronic voice didn't seem to expect him to be so calm, and repeated again: "The spirit body can't be recovered after it dissipates, are you sure?"

Jiang You raised his eyebrows, and said lazily: "Why not, reincarnation of life and death is human nature."

"Your fate shouldn't end here, don't you think the experience in this life is too strange, don't you want to know the reason?" The electronic voice was a little disturbed by his reaction.

Hearing what the electronic voice said, Jiang You's slender peach eyes slightly narrowed, showing a meaningful smile: "You mean someone tampered with my fate?" As he asked, Jiang You felt quite certain in his heart.

Seeing Jiang You's expression, the electronic voice immediately understood that he was being slapped, and it was not annoyed, but continued: "Yes, but you can only find out the specific reason yourself, and all of this is based on the relationship between you and me. It can only be achieved after fusion.”

The smile on Jiang You's face remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on himself who was wearing an oxygen mask on the hospital bed and his face was as pale as paper, and his tone was still a bit lazy: "Then let's melt."

After waiting for Jiang You's answer, the electronic voice did not hesitate, and directly started scanning and fusion.

"Scanning host information——"

"Host information successfully read——"

"The fusion of spirit and body is about to begin—"

"The system integration was successful."

With the end of the electronic sound, Jiang You lost consciousness again.
