[Rebirth] Messiah of the Nightingale

Sima Guoqing hasn't made a movie for a long time, but his reputation in the movie circle is still in full swing.The script I was looking at now was actually written by a little-known writer, which surprised a group of people.

This is a half fictional story set in the early Jin Dynasty.The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove are not only metaphysicians and thinkers, they are highly skilled in martial arts, cultivate the truth and refine Qi, and pursue the true truth between heaven and earth.

The whole story is absurd and mysterious, gorgeous and weird, but the protagonist is Wang Rong, who has the worst reputation in Seven Sages, played by He Qianming.The second male lead, Ruan Ji, originally wanted to find Qu Hai, but unfortunately at that time Tang Dao stabbed him with a knife, Qu Xiaotian Wang was furious and said that he would never play a supporting role for He Qianming.

By the time Qu Hai regretted it, the role had already fallen to Shu Leren, who was in the same company as him.He was so angry that he smashed another bunch of cups.

The other six sages and some supporting roles were selected for audition, so Qi Yan took the role of Ji Kang.

It wasn't that he deliberately wanted to confront Du Feng, but that he felt that he was more suitable than Du Feng in terms of appearance and personality.

The role of Ji Kang maintains the characteristics recorded in historical records: fortitude, arrogance, rebellion, good at rhythm, rich in talent, and a tragic figure.Recklessly swaying, in order to protect an unrealistic ideal in his heart, he fought against the Sima Dynasty to the end, and finally died generously.

But Du Feng is actually more suitable for the noble son Zhong Hui-Zhong Hui was also one of the culprits who slandered Sima Zhaojin after Ji Kang was arrested, which led to Ji Kang's final murder.So, quite suitable.

But he estimated that Du Feng would not be willing, because Zhong Hui was a small supporting role, and there were only five or six acts in total.

In short, no one told him which role Du Feng was auditioning for, so he just pretended not to know.

The audition was held in a company owned by Sima Guoqing. Many people came that day. Men and women looked familiar, and they were all rookies who had made a name for themselves.Not as humble and obedient as the newcomers who just debuted, they nodded reservedly at each other, and they all sat obediently on the benches outside the corridor and waited.

Luo Yiping helped Qi Yan draw lots, and brought over some papers, all of which were written by Ji Kang.

When Qi Yan was reading paragraph by paragraph carefully, someone sat down beside him, and his soft-spoken tone was a little tired, "Brother Xiao Yan, did you also choose the role of Ji Kang? What a coincidence."

Qi Yan glanced at him as if nothing had happened, there were faint traces of bandages under his shirt, his face was still a little pale, but he was in good spirits.Persisting in the audition despite the injury, this dedication alone is worth extra points.

"Yes, what a coincidence. Are you feeling better?"

Du Feng smiled helplessly, lowered his head, his bangs covered some of his face, and looked pitiful, "It's much better, thank you Brother Xiaoyan... for the gift."

Qi Yan also smiled, "You are welcome, you are younger than me, so I always take care of you, if you have any difficulties, just ask, I will definitely help."

Du Feng looked at him with a smile: "Oh, then I have a problem right now, I wonder if Brother Xiao Yan can help me?"

Qi Yan deeply regrets that he talks too much, but at this time he can only admit it, "Tell me."

Du Feng spread out the script paper in his hand, with a sad face, "I can't grasp Ji Kang's script well, can you help me to play it?"

The audition also needs to be in the play. Now he is helping Du Feng read the lines of other characters, and his whole train of thought will be disturbed.

Qi Yan and Nuan's smile widened, took the paper in his hand, and said in a warm tone, "Why do I think this little matter is fine. Leave it to me." Before Du Feng could react, he had already turned his head and said his lines The single was handed over to Luo Yiping who was sitting on the side, "Yiping, I'll leave it to you."

Luo Yiping glanced at Qi Yan with reserved eyes, got up and changed seats with him, and smiled warmly, "Come on, Xiaofeng, don't think that my lines are not professional enough."

The corner of Du Feng's mouth twitched, and he couldn't blatantly say that Qi Yan must accompany him, so he had to talk to Luo Yiping about his lines.

Not only was Luo Yiping not professional enough, he was simply very—very—unprofessional. He stuttered while reading a passage, but he was also very enthusiastic. He insisted on grabbing Du Feng and yelling: "Xiao Feng, give me one more chance, this time I must cooperate with you well!" Don't talk about sparring, it would be nice not to let Du Feng coach instead.

Du Feng couldn't hold it anymore, and ran away without finishing the match.

Luo Yiping was very disappointed, Qi Yan patted him on the shoulder meaningfully, "Good job, I will treat you to a full banquet later."

"It's fine with a full banquet." Luo Yiping chuckled, "I heard that there is a molecular cuisine restaurant upstairs in Jinmao International, why don't you invite me to see it."

Qi Yan: "...you really know how to choose."

Luo Yiping made a modest gesture: "I am grateful for the praise, and I am ashamed to take it."

The two were chatting and laughing, the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful, and someone secretly gritted their teeth.

Compared to the happiness here, Sima Guoqing was not very happy.

The main purpose of his coming to the audition today is to choose Ji Kang, and the selection of other small roles will be carried out in the sub-scene.

But after watching seven or eight actors in a row, I still can't help but feel disappointed.

There are two auditions, one fixed and one optional.The fixed request is a scene of Ji Kang blacksmithing, although the actors can almost understand, how can celebrities strike iron just for the sake of blacksmithing?

But even if it is understood literally, how to perform is an important issue.

After seeing off the last interviewer, Sima Guoqing sighed, "This man who has suffered a lot and has a deep hatred, if he knew it, he said he was forging an iron, but if he didn't know, he thought he was killing his father's enemy."

The screenwriter and assistant director accompanying the casting all laughed. The assistant glanced at the lottery table and whispered in Sima Guoqing's ear, "The next one is Xiaofeng."

Sima Guoqing's eyes softened, "Let him in."

So Du Feng went in.

Luo Yiping watched him enter the room, and held his shoulder against Qi Yan worriedly, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, don't sleep, do you think Du Feng can do it this time?"

Qi Yan still closed his eyes like an old monk in meditation, "Don't make trouble, I'm thinking about something."

Luo Yiping had no choice but to hold back, and after almost half an hour, Du Feng came out with a smile on his face, bowed to the door and saluted, "Thank you, Teacher Sima."

Then he glanced over with a sure-fire look.

The assistant called Qi Yan's name.

When Qi Yan opened his eyes, his whole demeanor changed.

When the young man entered the door, the few examiners who had been whispering all fell silent and looked at him.The latter was neither humble nor overbearing, and performed an ancient salute to everyone, clasping fists to shoulders, bowing and bowing.

In an instant, as if the wide sleeves were dragging the ground, the jade pendant slammed.The assistant rubbed his eyes subconsciously, and there was still a handsome young man in front of him.

Sima Guoqing didn't like nonsense, so he pointed directly at the anvil in the hall.Qi Yan understood, walked over to pick up the hammer that was leaning next to him and tried it a few times, then took off his shirt, revealing his lean and flexible flesh.

Although the young female assistant has been used to it for a long time, she couldn't help but glance at the body at this moment, her face still had a business-like attitude, "Can we start?"

Qi Yan nodded, and with the assistant director's "shooting", the young man raised the hammer and hit the anvil heavily.

There was a crisp ding, as if sparks were flying.

Qi Yan took advantage of the strength of the rebound to swing the hammer again, lifting the weight as lightly as possible, but with full strength, the thin muscles fit neatly on the torso, accompanied by graceful movements.

He looked focused, as if there was a red-hot iron piece on the anvil, which was being forged and flattened gradually to form a blade.

The young man adjusted several times, looked closely and thought carefully, and then made a gesture of submerging in the water with something in his hands. It was clear that there was nothing, but white smoke suddenly rose in the air, making a sizzling sound.

He has been focusing on forging the sickle, adding a handle, and grinding it finely.From start to finish.

In the end, he held up the finished product, squinted his eyes to appreciate it in the sun, and showed a wanton and joyful smile.

The smile stagnated slightly, and gradually melted into the lake like snow, disappearing without a trace.

Qi Yan turned around and threw the iron sickle, which was regarded as a masterpiece just a second ago, into the weeds. His eyes were far and wide, his fingers were tightly clasped, and he walked away from the anvil for a few steps, but hesitantly stopped as if bound by an invisible rope. .

Then he turned around, his feet seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he turned back slowly step by step, squatting down to pick up the scythe that was despised just now.

The light shone behind him, leaving his face in the shadows. At this time, silence was better than sound, which naturally brought out a depressing atmosphere.There was not a single line in the whole process.

Sima Guoqing yelled to stop, and stood up as if he was about to leave, "Okay, let's go back and wait for the news."

Qi Yan's heart skipped a beat, "Is there no need for the optional play..." He didn't even read a single line.

The old man waved his hand, his expression should be happy, "No need."

Then just walked away.

Not only Qi Yan, but others also looked at each other in blank dismay.The role of Ji Kang is very brilliant, and there are many competitors. Now that the director is gone, there are still half of the people who did not participate in the audition.

Later, the assistant director could only repeat what Sima Guoqing said to Qi Yan just now with a tangled face: "Go back and wait for the news." Then he turned his head and told the assistant, "Let the next one come in."

Even if the boss is gone, the rest of the people have to go through the motions.

Qi Yan was uneasy, what is going on?It's unbearable for people who are engaged in art to talk so much all the time!

Luo Yiping came up to meet him, also with a nervous expression on his face, "How is it? Why did Teacher Sima leave?"

Before Qi Yan recovered, he replied in a daze: "He asked me to go back and wait for the news..."

Before he finished speaking, someone beside him burst out laughing.Qi Yan searched for the sound, he was a familiar young man, he must have filmed some TV dramas, "What did you do to drive Teacher Sima away in anger? What about the people behind us?" As soon as he said this, he was not friendly. The line of sight is projected over.

Qi Yan wanted to say what was none of my business, but in the end he just shook his head, "Mr. Sima was clearly in a good mood when he left, right Yiping?"

Yiping nodded, then turned his head and asked, "Is that right, Xiaoyou?"

Xiao You is an employee of Director Sima, and is responsible for informing and coordinating outside. Naturally, she will not speak ill of the boss, "It seems that I am in a good mood."

Luo Yiping thanked her for her fair words, secretly wrote them down, and left with Qi Yan.

After Qi Yan got in the car, he talked about the process, and Luo Yiping advised him cautiously: "Although I dare not promise it, but if I go to try it for tomorrow's banquet, I will definitely order it immediately after I taste the most satisfying dish. , I don’t want to try the next dishes. Maybe Director Sima is also like this?”

Qi Yan covered his face and sighed, can't you change the metaphor, I always eat and eat, I don't want to be eaten again!

The cooperation plan he and Liu Hongfei set up is to focus on the sustainable Pandora's box.

He explained the differences between the two factions to Liu Hongfei in detail. After all, the old man has lived on the earth for decades, and his physical fitness is not bad.If it weren't for the feeling of homesickness and the poor health of the little grandson, he would not have much attachment to Meredith.

The efficiency faction who wants to destroy mankind is naturally not liked by him, and the old man prefers the sustainable faction.

Qi Yan didn't say that his ultimate goal was to destroy Pandora's box, at least their goal was the same before finding the box.

Liu Hongfei is responsible for monitoring the orphans and providing all clues.He said that Merle flute players have their own preferred wavelength, rhythm and style, so they handed over a large number of song scores.

Qi Yan entered everything into the system, waiting for the analysis results of Messiah 2.0.

In exchange, he also promised to hold a special concert for them every six months.

The two returned home. After Luo Yiping comforted Qi Yan, he looked through the schedule again, and suddenly said, "By the way, don't you want a three-day vacation? Or next Tuesday to Thursday, these three days can be freed up. "

Qi Yan was about to get the mug on the table, when he heard this sentence, his hand suddenly shook, the mug fell to the ground, and his hand was broken.

He looked down at the scattered pieces of white porcelain, vaguely feeling that it was not a good thing.
