Immersive performance [entertainment circle]

The doctor said that it might be that the scene he saw before had planted a psychological suggestion on Li Bai, so he imitated that suicide behavior.

But Pei Lang didn't believe it. He stubbornly believed that this must be a homicide, a serial murder case with the same modus operandi.

So he asked Liang Sheng to find out all the previous cases with the same method of death and re-investigate them. Unfortunately, the results were not optimistic. Those cases were all pure suicides without any trace of homicide.

After the police station closed the case, Pei Lang began to investigate the case alone, and at the same time returned to the place where he had lived to find the missing memory.

In various clues, he recalled the fragments of living with Li Bai from childhood to adulthood, and the secondary personality appeared more frequently, and even occasionally left him a message in the diary, while threatening him with terrible memories when he was young, trying to prevent him from continuing to search , while sparing no effort to aggravate his sense of guilt for Li Bai's death.

Li Bai has a gentle personality, calm and introverted. Whenever he looks over with those moist and affectionate eyes, it makes people feel that he can tolerate everything.

The sub-personality—the fake "Li Bai", fell in love with taking pictures at some point, and took pictures of Pei Lang's face in the mirror, imitating Li Bai's expression, but there was some mechanical indifference in the depths of his pupils.

Pei Lang was so angry that he smashed all the mirrors in the house.

It was very difficult to find the memory, because the two mothers were worried that he and Li Bai would be stressed, so they destroyed all related things long ago, not even leaving the photos.As for the place where they were imprisoned, it had already been demolished and a new building was built.

Pei Lang could only ask Liang Sheng for help, and checked the photos of the prison scene from the police file backup.

It was a dark and damp basement, where there were bloody utensils all over the place. There was a dilapidated small bed in the corner of the room. On the bed, two children shivered and curled up together. Li Bai held Pei Lang tightly in his arms with his thin arms. inside.

At that time Pei Lang hadn't drawn a cane yet, they were about the same height, but Li Bai was obviously thinner, his clothes were more torn and he had more wounds.

Pei Langzai looked at the photo carefully many times, without missing any corner, but he still couldn't find his memory.

He saw the pictures more with anger than with empathetic horror.

Until the next day, Liang Sheng told him that the sub-personality "Li Bai" came out last night, still looking gentle and calm, but the things he did were extremely crazy.He stole Liang Sheng's gun and drove to the prison overnight, apparently wanting to kill the prisoners who imprisoned him.

But of course Liang Sheng didn't let him succeed, guns were such a deadly thing, Liang Sheng knew immediately when he moved, and he followed the people all the way back.

Pei Lang recalled those photos again, and asked suspiciously: "Is everything in the file really complete? Why didn't I see that small white room?"

Liang Sheng also knew something about his dream, and immediately said: "The prisoners and the place Li Bai mentioned back then are only the one in the photo, nothing else."

"Then what happened to my dream? Is it just a dream?"

Pei Lang tried to ask "Li Bai" through the diary, but the other party refused to answer directly, only telling him that it was a scary place.

Although this answer is not clear enough, at least it can make Pei Lang sure that that place is not fabricated in a dream, but really exists.

He started looking for that small white room, but it has been more than ten years, and the whole city has been turned upside down, how can he find the original place?

Helpless, Pei Lang had no choice but to change his mind, trying to restore the scene in his dream, trying to remind himself of something.

This part of the filming is an important transition before the climax, interspersed with fragments of flashbacks of Pei Lang's memory, a series of scenes similar to suicide cases, and secondary personalities appearing from time to time to mislead and obstruct.

In order to make it clearer for the audience, most of Pei Lang's sub-personalities are played by Zhongqin when they appear.They are all Li Bai obviously, but Li Bai in reality, Li Bai with his sub-personality, and Li Bai disguised as a sub-personality in his dreams are not the same image, similar but with subtle differences, which requires high acting skills from actors.

Zhongqin spends a lot of time trying to figure out the character of the characters in this scene before each filming. It is much more difficult to film differences in similarities than to act in two completely different characters. It is easy to confuse the audience.

When Ji Shuyuan was the director, he was very strict. He was unsmiling at first, but if he aggravated his tone a little, he would look very scary. The crew and other actors were afraid of him, and even Zhongqin would be bluffed by him occasionally.

When playing the role of Li Bai with a sub-personality disguise for the first time, Zhongqin couldn't handle it well, and the number of NGs was relatively high. Although Ji Shuyuan didn't say harsh words, his face was expressionless throughout the whole process, and he kept saying repeatedly: "Do it again."

Zhongqin heard his voice that was as cold as ice slag coming from the walkie-talkie, and every time he heard it, his heart trembled, and half of his emotions fell out of the scene. worse.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ji Shuyuan put down the walkie-talkie with a sullen face, got up and said, "Take a break."

Zhongqin thought he was too angry to want to shoot anymore, so he found a corner and looked through the script nervously, not daring to say anything or look at him.

After a while, Ji Shuyuan walked up to him, took the script from his hand, picked him up and said, "Come here."

Zhongqin followed him into the small room with his head downcast.

Ji Shuyuan closed the door, turned around and imprisoned him by the wall, looked down, and laughed: "So scared? I'm shrinking into a little quail."

"You are so fierce." After Zhongqin complained, he apologized with a guilty conscience, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to slow you down, but this persona is really difficult..."

"I know, this is really difficult." Ji Shuyuan hooked his chin, "It's hard work, and I have been patient with my faults."

Zhongqin raised his head suspiciously: "You didn't blame me, did you?"

Ji Shuyuan laughed: "What do I blame you for?"

"Then your face is so stinky..." Zhongqin muttered, "Those who didn't know thought you were going to rush over and beat me up in the next second."

"I've said all the important things I should say when others can't shoot well, and I can't be too obvious about you, right? How could I have thought that you would be afraid of me?" Ji Shuyuan lowered his voice, "Aren't you usually very courageous? You hooked it in the middle of the night People dare to run, why are you so cowardly now?"

"Can this be the same?" Zhongqin retorted, "This is work."

After thinking about it, I thought it was wrong, and asked angrily: "You are not avenging yourself, are you?"

"Absolutely not." Ji Shuyuan raised his hand and swore, "I have always kept a clear line between public and private, and revenge on the bed will never implicate the off-bed."

"...You should say a few words..."

"Then you will gag me yourself."

"...Mr. Ji, Director Ji," Zhong Qinxuan said speechlessly, "How can you flirt with actors during working hours?"

"What are you flirting with? I'm teaching you how to act for a while." Ji Shuyuan squeezed his chin and said, "Look, if Li Bai in reality wants to refuse something, it should be the look in your eyes right now. It's more about dissatisfaction."

Zhongqin thought for a while, nodded, and asked again: "How should Li Bai, who played the role of the character, refuse?"

"It's a disguised show of weakness." Ji Shuyuan said, "Because the sub-personality's impression of Li Bai is actually derived from Pei Lang's impression of Li Bai, so when he imitates, he will strengthen some one-sided but obvious traits. For example, in Pei Lang's impression, Li Bai is a very gentle person, he subconsciously regards Li Bai as an elder who can tolerate him forever, so in his eyes, Li Bai will have a lot of "helplessness" when he refuses Emotions, eyes and even a bit of doting."

Zhong Qin slowly nodded thoughtfully: "I seem to understand."

After a pause, he said, "But this relationship is very different from our reality. Between the two of us, you should be more like an elder, right? So why did you think we were suitable for these two roles?"

"Separately, we are very suitable for these two roles." Ji Shuyuan replied, "First of all, in terms of appearance, you know that I have a more decent and tough appearance. I have taken many similar roles before. I am upright but And a very stubborn, or very paranoid personality, which is very close to me. And your appearance..."

Zhong Qin raised his eyebrows: "What about me?"

"pretty."

Ji Shuyuan couldn't hold back for a moment when the words came out.

The more the face in front of him is facing each other day and night, the more beautiful he feels. When he thinks that this person belongs to him completely, his heart is like being wrapped in a spider web, sticky, dense, numb and itchy, with thousands of unspeakable emotions constantly involved.

"Extremely beautiful." Ji Shuyuan lowered his head and wanted to bite his face, but when his lips touched, he realized that the makeup on his face should not be messed up, so he tossed and moved to the back of his ear, picked up a small piece of skin between his teeth, and gently ground it, "mine."

"...Ji Shuyuan," Zhongqin gritted his teeth and pushed him away, "What do you mean, when you describe yourself, there are a lot of words, and I only have one word when it's my turn, right? I know you are interested in me , but you don’t have to remind me anytime, do you?”

"Also, I haven't finished." Ji Shuyuan pressed his forehead and said, "Also, you look attractive, soft and harmless, gentle and kind, and you are a standard—no, it's a beautiful and good face .”

Zhongqin snorted: "That's about the same."

"In addition to appearance, personality and acting skills are also the criteria for judging, not to mention personality. In terms of acting skills alone, who is more suitable than our little actor?" Ji Shuyuan said, "This role is so difficult, I can't think of it except you. Who else can do it?"

Zhongqin snorted again: "Putting up."

In a blink of an eye, he grinned and asked, "Tell me more."

"I'll tell you the nice things when I go back." Ji Shuyuan said seriously, "There's one more thing you mentioned, the relationship between us."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you ask me why it's easy for me to take on the role of Pei Lang?" Ji Shuyuan said, "Because I also regret and feel guilty, afraid of losing you due to my negligence."

After all, he had neglected it once before. After the filming of Wei Young, he made a plan self-righteously. He didn't expect Zhongqin to have such a big reaction because of the play.

Fortunately, they didn't go to a desperate situation like in the movie.

Ever since Li Bai passed away, Pei Lang woke up from the nightmare of witnessing Li Bai's death almost every day.

Every time he had a nightmare, his guilt deepened.

Li Bai begged him not to force himself to see a psychiatrist, but he took Li Bai to the hospital without hesitation, and Li Bai struggled strongly.

Although they only quarreled in the hospital lobby and went home separately, Li Bai did not let Li Bai see the doctor in the end, but Li Bai still had a cold war with Pei Lang for a week because of this.

At that time, Pei Lang was still a little boyish, he thought he was kind to Li Bai, but the other party didn't appreciate it, he was also angry, so he just didn't care about it.

It wasn't until recently that Pei Lang dug out Li Bai's belongings again in order to search for memories, and he found out that Li Bai had secretly visited a psychiatrist by himself.
