In mid-April, the Cannes Film Festival announced the shortlist, and Gu Lao's "Green Pearl" was shortlisted for the main competition unit.

On the day this news was broadcast, the official Weibo of the crew of "Green Pearl" immediately released a poster and a two-and-a-half-minute trailer.

At the beginning of the movie, there is the melodious sound of the guzheng, and the icons of the production company and Gu Chengxin's studio flash past quickly. In the darkness, the searchlight of the stage gradually becomes clear from a dazzling blur, and two distinct lines The silhouette of the dancer appeared in the camera, it was a still figure of two dancers, a man and a woman.With a zither sound, the woman threw up her water sleeves, jumped up, and spun around among the floating water sleeves. When she landed, her toes touched the ground, she staggered back two steps, and fell into the man's arms as if unable to stand. .

A deep background voice sounded: "Lvzhu fell from the building. It is about the story of Luzhu, Shi Chong's favorite concubine in the Western Jin Dynasty, who fell from the building and died for love."

The scene changed, and it stayed in a huge practice room, where dancers in practice uniforms were rehearsing a dance, and the voice continued: "Whether our troupe can survive depends on this dance drama."

The camera focused on the face of the heroine Cui Wen.It was a beautiful and confident face, as if convinced that he was born to be looked up to.The rehearsal continued, the camera zoomed out, and the figure of the leading actor Zhao Sheng appeared in the camera.At this moment, they were frozen in a hug, and the two looked at each other deeply. Zhao Sheng's eyes were full of affection, as if it would flow out in the next second.

In the dark room where the camera cuts, there is a harsh and short sound of brakes and the dull sound of falling heavy objects. When the screen lights up again, it is Cui Wen lying on the hospital bed covered in wounds and unconscious, and her empty space. one leg.

"We're finished!" Facing the entire crew, the director of the dance troupe grabbed his hair in pain and roared red-faced, "Who will play the heroine? Who will? None of you! None of us! We Ruined!"

"I'm coming." A soft voice floated from a distance.The camera panned sharply, focusing on the weak figure of a boy at the door of the practice room.Cui Ying grabbed the straps on her shoulders, her expression was terrified, her face was pale, but her eyes were very firm, "I can dance the green pearl dance. My sister taught me, so I can do it."

"Aren't you a boy? How can you dance the heroine?"

"Sister can do it, I can do it. I can dance."

What followed was a glimpse of dancing on the stage and thunderous applause from the audience.The director hugged Cui Ying tightly: "You are the savior of all of us!" Cui Ying's eyes were only focused on Zhao Sheng, and the two of them looked at each other from a distance across the crowd that came to celebrate.

And in the audience, Cui Wen was sitting in the auditorium, with a haggard face, her eyes were dull and numb, and there were two crutches beside her seat, sitting in a group of audience who got up and applauded enthusiastically, she was particularly abrupt .

Next, there was a quick alternation of shots, one successful performance after another, the figures of Cui Ying and Zhao Sheng in women's clothing constantly embracing each other on the stage, and Cui Wen's thinner face.Outside the camera, there is a conversation: "I still remember when I was a child, you liked to steal my clothes the most. You haven't changed it until now."

"Yes. Since I was a child, my sister has always been my idol, my goddess. My biggest wish is to become an excellent girl like my sister."

"yes……"

The camera stopped suddenly. In front of a huge mirror, Cui Ying in dance clothes stood behind Cui Wen's wheelchair. One was haggard and weak, and the other was glamorous.

"Now, your wish has come true."

In the increasingly intense background music, it is Cui Ying's casual pride and joy when he looks at Cui Wen's back, and the hidden anger and resentment in Cui Wen's casual glance, and Zhao Sheng's increasingly weird look at Cui Ying deep feeling.

"Sorry, I found out that I seem to be in love with your brother."

"Stolen my role, my honor, my life, my future, isn't that enough! Isn't it enough!" Amidst the suppressed choking sound and the heart-piercing sound of music, there was a fast-moving The shredded costumes, the shards of glass in the shoes, the bugs and filth in the lockers, the posters full of threats and abuse, and the screams of horror.

And the last shot is the figure of Luzhu jumping on the stage.

The soft olive green silk floats on the screen, and the three characters of "Gu Chengxin" slowly appear and disappear, and then the faces of each leading actor flash past, followed by their respective names, as the lights gradually dim On the stage ahead, a wisp of smoke rose slowly, condensing into two big characters with coquettish and strange shapes: Green Pearl.

In addition to the official Weibo of the crew, many big Vs reposted it one after another, especially those actors who have starred in Gu Lao's movies, and now most of them are domestic first- and second-tier stars. Superstars have reposted the trailer of "Green Pearl" and sent themselves They also expressed their appreciation for the acting skills and characters of the actors in the play, although they probably haven't seen the movie, nor have they had contact with any of them.

Among them, because Du Nian had Ou Mingyu behind him, he received the most praise.For a while, Du Nian once again became a topical figure and topped the search hot list.Although in the trailer, he looks like a scheming whore, but he has a soft appearance and elegant dancing posture. In this era of looking at faces, he has gained a large number of fans.

A few days later, after the popularity of the "Green Pearl" trailer dropped a little, the crew released a dance clip of more than 20 seconds, in which Du Nian showed many difficult dance moves, and Du Nian and the other two danced together. A leading actor accepted a brief interview on the website, in which he revealed that he did not use a substitute.

Immediately afterwards, several famous dancers reposted the dance clips, analyzed the high level of choreography and the difficulty of the dance in a professional tone, and said that if Du Nian had not entered the entertainment circle, he must be a new star in the dance world.

These remarks once again triggered heated discussions. Many people sneered at this, thinking that a double must be used, and the so-called real person on stage is just hype.

On the same day, Du Nian asked someone to record a video of himself dancing, which was exactly the same as the dance in the trailer, and shattered the rumors of using a substitute with facts.This crisp and sharp counterattack made his fans scream. The comment area is full of: "Guard Zuo is mighty and domineering!" Give me a monkey!" Comments like this made Du Nian very excited.

At this moment, Qin Jiang gave Du Nian a copy of the script: "Look carefully, and go to the audition in two days."

""Nine Infant Sword"?" Du Nian read out the title on the cover of the script, and flipped to the first page, "What are you talking about? An ancient mythical beast? I know that Nine Infant Sword is an ancient beast, but what is this Nine Infant Sword? ?”

Qin Jiang gave him a slightly surprised look, and said, "What did you do when you were in school, dancing or practicing swords? Haven't you heard of the novel "Nine Infants Sword"? I remember that it was adapted into a novel a few years ago. Games are all the rage."

Du Nian looked at him and shrugged, "I'm relatively ignorant."

"Okay." Qin Jiang sat down in front of him, ""Nine Infant Sword" is an online martial arts novel that has been popular for many years. This Nine Infant Sword is the clue that runs through the novel. The sword was forged with the same technique. The blood sacrificial furnace of 99 babies was used in the sword refining, so it was an ominous evil sword, which would make people have the urge to kill, but the power was huge. Invincible is still coveted. Therefore, people in the world are spontaneously chasing and killing the villains who got the Nine Infant Sword, and at the same time want to fight for the Nine Infant Sword."

Du Nian nodded. In his last life, he had heard of or even seen such a thing. Some swordsmiths may have gone crazy. In order to forge a good sword, they sacrificed their lives to the stove. A swordsmith who used a virgin sacrifice stove once aroused public outrage in the martial arts, and the Zhengdao sect used this as an excuse to attack Shenyue Mountain.Later, Ou Mingyu killed the swordsmith with one sword, and killed several righteous masters, and only then did the crisis be resolved.

"The male protagonist is a young martial arts leader. He is a righteous hero. One day, he got this sword for no reason. He was kicked out of the position of martial arts leader for no reason, and then he was hunted down by the whole martial arts. And The mastermind behind all this is the leader of the Demon Cult who was originally settled in the Western Regions. It turns out that the leader of the Demon Cult was also from a famous family back then, and his father also had a high status in the martial arts. And martial arts cheats, used this Jiuying sword to frame the father of the leader of the Demon Cult, causing his family to be ruined. Later, the father of the hero became the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the hero inherited his father's business. Now, the leader of the Demon Cult is ready to come back for revenge , then treat him in his own way, and replant the hero with the Nine Infant Sword."

Du Nian sounded very interesting, especially the leader of the Demon Cult, who made him feel very kind, and asked, "What's next?"

Qin Jiang took a sip of water and said: "The story is very complicated, that is, along the way, the male protagonist meets all kinds of beauties, meets and befriends many brothers, some believe him, and some frame him. And the leader of the Demon Cult started with the help of his allies. When his identity appeared, he comforted the male protagonist while pushing him into a dangerous situation. In the end, his identity was exposed. The two turned against each other at first, but finally the truth came out. The leader was also moved by his true heroic demeanor, because he was the only one who would not be confused by the Jiuying Sword, so he gave up revenge and returned to the Western Regions. The hero destroyed the Jiuying Sword and took the most beautiful one A confidante retreats to the mountains and forests."

Du Nian thought the story was very interesting, so he decided to go back and read the original work, and asked, "Then which role do you want me to play?"

"Which role do you think you want to play?" Qin Jiang asked back.

"It can't be the leading actor." Du Nian said, "I'm not so righteous, tall and handsome. It's also impossible to be a random supporting role, otherwise you should tell the character's name and role in the play. So, It's the leader of the Demon Cult, right?"

"Bingo." Qin Jiang snapped her fingers, "In terms of playing time, it's a supporting role, because the main storyline is above the hero and confidante, but this role is very important, every appearance will promote the plot, and the appearance value is very high. , will definitely leave a deep impression on people. The point is, this Demon Cult leader is following the path of an enchanting man, which is not only in line with the current trend, but also very suitable for your face and figure that have not yet been shaped. How about it, do you want to catch?"

"Of course I would." Du Nian nodded immediately, and asked again, "Brother Jiang hasn't found me any other work these days, is he just waiting for this TV series?"

"I have other considerations, but all in all, this one is the most suitable for you." Qin Jiang stood up, "You should prepare this TV series first, as long as "Nine Baby Sword" is not too bad, as a film The popularity of martial arts novels has never diminished, and it will definitely explode the ratings. So everyone wants to fight for a role in it.

"Of course, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. I still have other books in my hand. If I can't read other books, I don't need it to be so bad. In fact, as long as Gu Lao's "Green Pearl" is shortlisted in Cannes, Regardless of whether you can win the award or not, your worth is completely different from before. It is a big difference. Not only are there more film contracts and higher quality, but your chances of winning the role of leader will be much higher. When the time comes, I will Let me walk around to clear up the relationship for you. This role is probably ours. But, you have to prepare seriously," Qin Jiang said seriously, "If your acting skills are not up to standard, it's useless to say anything."

Du Nian nodded, stood up holding the script, followed Qin Jiang and left the office: "Don't worry, when have I ever been lazy."
