secret movie

Three or four years ago, this word appeared frequently in Duan Shu's life.

Before graduating from Jiangying, he agreed to Lu Mingye's invitation and starred in his first feature film "Forest in the White Day". Not enough, but the strong emotion throughout the film is moving enough, the story is full of pain and disillusionment, the photography is quite stylized, and the actors seem to have given their entire lives to this role.

This movie brought him and Lu Mingye their first trophies, the Golden Moon Awards for Best Newcomer Actor and Best Newcomer Director, as well as investment for Lu Mingye's next feature film.

But other than that, Duan Shu didn't feel any changes in his life. The scope of influence of independent films has always been limited, the audience is limited to industry insiders and some movie lovers, and the theater box office is only 1000 million.

He still lives as ordinary as before, and people passing by on the street will not give him a second glance in surprise.

After being lucky enough to finish a low-cost film that he basically controlled, Lu Mingye grew up rapidly. He was no longer satisfied with artistic expression, he wanted more audiences and higher box office, and the second film The rising investment amount has also made the employer put forward clearer commercial requirements for him.

So Lu Mingye took out his second script "Halftime Murder". He is fickle and long-term. He no longer writes tragic stories that are too self-immersed, and begins to explore the kind of light-hearted drama that audiences love, but retains the crime Suspenseful elements and a certain depth; instead of portraying ordinary people who are trapped in mediocre life, he wrote a charming character that attracted the hearts of many first-line actors, but insisted on letting the fledgling Duan Shu play it.

The detective Yu Nian, who is sometimes naive and sometimes gloomy, walks ambiguously on the edge of justice and evil. He seems to do things only based on his inner likes and dislikes, which is controversial and often makes the slightly stupid assistants not know what to do. There is persistence and light that suddenly appear in the desperate situation.

Coupled with the actor's handsome face and superb acting skills, this will be a role that is very popular with the audience. It is not a distant Wei Guangzheng, nor is it a villain in the true sense. look like.

The employer hesitated before the olive branch thrown by a well-known actor, and finally compromised in front of the director with unlimited potential. Lu Mingye explained his stubborn choice with a half-understandable sentence.

"I know those actors have better conditions, maybe they are more skilled in acting, maybe they will attract more audiences... But Duan Shu is transparent, he can be anyone, so he doesn't need to act, he will become Yu Nian, This is an advantage that no one can replace.”

So Duan Shu got the role, and since then he has truly entered the mainstream audience's field of vision.

A week after the film was released, it received rave reviews and became a dark horse. The film schedule has been rising all the way, and the wonderful motion picture intercepted from the film is circulating on social networks. The detective in the black trench coat bends down and stops in the ear of the desperate villain. , piercing the trapped beast's last fight with a low voice, the light and shadow changed and blurred, overflowing his deep and smiling eyes.

Half a year after the film was released, Duan Shu and Lu Mingye once again walked on the red carpet of the Golden Moon Awards together. This time, the prefix of the newcomer was removed from the trophy they took home - Best Actor, Best Actor director.

In front of Duan Shu's eyes, the distant award ceremony involuntarily appeared. Cheng Hongqiu, the winner of the last Golden Moon Award, unwrapped the envelope containing the answer in anticipation, and a collection of movie clips appeared on the big screen, with an unpredictable expression Walking in the dark night of the city by myself.

Then in reality, he came to the stage amidst endless applause, received the golden trophy and the magnificent bouquet, and before the microphone handed over by Cheng Hongqiu, he calmly gave a speech: "Thank you, Director Lu, and thank you to every member of the crew. "

This may be the shortest award acceptance speech in the history of the Golden Moon Award, but he really has nothing more to say. He just vaguely remembered that he hadn't visited the supermarket generously for a long time. The last time he went, Someone with a shopping cart recognized him and excitedly called him "that detective."

There was a dazzling follow-spot on his body, looking from a distance, among the countless polite and smiling faces in the audience, Lu Mingye's joy was the most sincere.

After Duan Shu walked down, he naturally hugged the director and senior brother who supported him along the way. This scene was captured by many cameras and became the most classic scene of this Golden Moon Awards, because the next winner of the award is Lu Mingye.

Since then, they have become a famous golden partner.

Then they walked side by side, gradually drifted away, and parted ways. Duan Shu's body developed strange symptoms, but he failed to seek medical treatment. He received an invitation letter that seemed absurd. He decided to give it a try, and entered a A world full of unknowns.

In this world, Duan Shu met Li Jianian, a complicated painter who made it difficult to see his true thoughts. He was clearly a replica of the detective Yu Nian he played in "Halftime Murder".

No wonder he always feels that the other party is familiar and kind, because he naturally understands Li Jianian, those tone of voice, demeanor, subtle movements... all come from the examples he personally performed four years ago.

No one in this world is more like Li Jianian than him. In other words, Li Jianian was born after him, not only his face, but everything.

Memories flooded in like a tide, and the past few years were condensed in his consciousness. Duan Shu sighed, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes on Li Jianian became more complicated.

He really is another him.

Whether it's real and fake, or actors and characters.

The surrounding air was still frozen in the light "substitute", and Li Jianian's breath gently brushed against his ears, warm and intimate.

Duan Shu skipped the question that was no longer important, and looked sideways at himself who was close at hand, his gaze gradually softened.

"Of course you are the one who doesn't want your father to die." He quietly picked up the previous topic, "Because when he is about to die, the reactions of others are the most interesting. He is in good health, or he dies suddenly, it is worth watching The drama is over."

The role of Yu Nian has many behaviors that are beyond common sense. Sometimes he will deliberately let go of the investigation subjects who have already been hooked, and sometimes he will have unusual tolerance for the client who has selfish desires. Many people understand this as a dual personality. Alternately dominating him with the dark side and the dark side, this alternation and contradiction demonstrates the struggle of human nature between good and evil... cliché explanations like that.

But in reality, he was just looking for something fun to do.

Yu Nian likes all interesting things, so he doesn't care about the so-called morality at all.

The same goes for Li Jianian.

When the words fell to the ground, Li Jianian's breathing became rapid in an instant, and soon calmed down again. He suddenly left the ears of the twins, stood up slowly, and his eyes were filled with wonder.

"I said, you will be my favorite student."

Duan Shu responded to his words calmly: "I have finished my first homework, teacher."

The wet paint has not yet set, and the luster is bright.

Li Jianian walked to him silently and looked down.

The crimson sky, the ripe brown earth, the utter blackness spreads in the color blocks that are painted freely, like flowing poisonous silk threads, all the colors are squeezed towards the center, and finally disappear suddenly in that pure white space .

He didn't draw Li Jianian directly, but painted the world around him, and then left a pure white figure in the center, walking alone, suddenly bumping into the eyes of the viewer.

The smile on Li Jianian's face became more and more intense: "You guessed right, and I guessed right, you are really talented."

"However, there is still a little less."

At the same time, he picked up a full tube of titanium dioxide from the workbench next to Duan Shu, squeezed it into the palette, picked out a clean paintbrush, and stuffed it into Duan Shu's hand.

"Theoretically speaking, we can't overlap the colors now, and the picture will become very dirty." Li Jianian stood very close, leaned over and held Duan Shu's hand, "But, I like this kind of unknown chaos."

Holding the paintbrush with both hands, dipped in the titanium white with strong covering power, and drew the first stroke without hesitation.

The pure white nib was dyed red and black, and beside the blank figure, another complex white appeared.

A faint smell of paint filled the nostrils.

The wind came in through the window, blowing through the white gauze curtains, the intertwined figures, and through the secret crack of the door.

This gust of wind hovers in the bright room, absorbing the colliding colors, low words, soft clothes, and the dust raised by hasty steps, it is getting bigger and bigger, rolling up time and noise, very close is a vivid synchronization heartbeat, and the sound of something crashing to the ground came from the neighbor's house not far away.

The sun sank little by little, drowning in dusk.

Li Jianian stayed in the studio until evening before leaving.

The sound of the car motor outside the house gradually faded away, and after a while, another heavy footstep sounded.

Duan Shu went downstairs when he heard the sound, and when he reached the corner of the stairs, he saw the figure walking quickly.

Lu Zhi, who was covered with frost, returned to his real home, with bandages still oozing blood on his hands.

The hurricane that had been brewing for half a day chased here, and the atmosphere was undercurrent in the eyes.

But this time, their positions were completely reversed.

"You have wounds on your hands." Standing on the stairs, Duan Shu looked down at him condescendingly, "Why are you injured?"
