有罪

The small mountain village where the river rushes out of the southern hills may be the place with the least water shortage in the world.

Clouds and mist, the moisture in the air persists all year round, making winter colder and summer hotter.

Shen Zui lives in the home of a tea farmer.In the early morning, there were birds chirping outside the house, water gurgling, and the brightening sky shining through the old-fashioned window lattice, he woke up from his dream.

Shen Zui always gets up at six o'clock in the morning, and reads the script for a while in the yard before starting work.

This is the 20th day since the filming of "Zuo Liu" started, and this morning is the first rest day for Intoxication.

Today's play mainly focuses on the relationship between Luan Wei and the second female.In the setting of the script, they should be a pair of comparison groups that have been taken care of in the dark: adult women and cardamom girls, strong and flamboyant and plain and secret, full of lead and ignorant and pure.

The second female is a teenage girl.She is very agile under the camera, and her face is considered "advanced".

She is one of the few actresses in the circle who has not had time to cut her double eyelids.

When I read it for the first time, Shen Zui could tell at a glance: this girl has a bit of the demeanor of her 15-year-old self.

I don't know if Pei Yan is still brooding over the loss of "Tassel" many years ago, he seems to have deliberately picked a second female who looks like he was intoxicated.

But it's a pity that this girl only looks a little drunk on the surface, and she is lifeless when filming, and she can't get into the state for a long time.

Indulged in the yard and read the script for half an hour.He has no role today, but he still plans to go to the set on time.He intends to watch or play for other actors.

Luan Wei's control over the character is very good, even as good as intoxicated.For various reasons, Shen Zui is often willing to help the second female lead into the play.

The story of "Zuo Liu" takes place in a small closed village, and the hero is "Xiao Zuo" played by Shen Zui.

Xiao Zuo is 17 years old this year. He dropped out of high school in his first year of high school. There is only one deaf and blind grandfather in his family.

Xiao Zuo likes trees, but never likes being a carpenter.He was taciturn and kept his head down.

One day, a woman in a red dress came back from the village.She has lips painted the same color as the red dress, and she is wearing a pair of low-quality white high-heeled leather shoes. It is said that she walked out of here many years ago.

Whenever she walked by the street, the sister next door who Xiao Zuo had a crush on would secretly lift the curtain and look around enviously.

Xiao Zuo sits in front of the door all day long, soliciting rare business.At Mu Shaoai's age, he couldn't help but pay attention to every move of his sister next door.

When she was attracted by that mid-mature woman with still charming charm, Xiao Zuo instinctively felt vigilant in his disgusted heart.

That doesn't look like a good woman.

Like a mother I never met.

"Boy," the woman in the red skirt once stopped in front of the small left door, smiling flirtatiously, "why do you keep looking at me?"

Xiao Zuo is not good at talking, he habitually lowers his head and fiddles with the small wooden ornaments in his hands.

"How much is that?" The woman in the red skirt stretched out her fingers with long nails, and took out a bright hundred-dollar bill from the leather case.

Xiao Zuo frowned.He had heard about this woman—or this type of woman—from the old people, where did their money come from.

"This is not for sale." Xiao Zuo said in a low voice.

"Not for sale?" The woman in the red skirt laughed disapprovingly, and still pressed the money on the small left table, scratching the back of his hand as if unintentionally, "Then you can make another one, I will come in a few days Pick."

That night, Xiao Zuo washed his hands for half an hour.Under the moonlight, he picked a good piece of wood, picked up a knife and carefully carved the small ornaments stroke by stroke.

Indulge in breakfast.When he arrived on the set, Luan Wei had already dressed up.

"Mr. Shen," Luan Wei put down the script in his hand when he saw Shen Zui, "you came so early today?"

Shen Zui nodded, found a chair and sat down, "Where's Xiaotian?"

Oda is the actor who plays the second female lead.

"Pei Yan is telling her a play." Luan Wei said, "Today is strictly speaking the first scene between me and Xiao Tian, ​​so Pei Yan almost acted for her."

"You are too imposing, even Liu Heng can't hold back." Shen Zui half-jokingly said, "I can understand that Xiaotian can't take part in the show."

"But didn't you pick it up well?" Luan Wei cast a drunken look.

Shen Zui smiled, "Teacher Luan, stop making fun of me."

"I've also watched "Tassel", and there is no director who would not want to pick out a 15-year-old you." After a while, Luan Wei said, "It's no wonder Xia Rusen desperately wanted to use you back then."

"It's just that, apart from his looks, Oda doesn't resemble you at all."

Although the crew, including Shen Zui, Pei Yan and Luan Wei, showed more patience and tolerance towards Xiao Tian than others, Xiao Tian's performance was still not satisfactory.

The scenes she has filmed before are relatively simple.Today's rivalry with Luan Wei is the "eye" of her character, which is crucial to the whole movie.

Shen Zui sat on the sidelines and watched, feeling that Xiao Tian was being hanged and beaten by Luan Wei.

"Why don't we rest for a while?" Photographer Yang Tian tentatively asked after another one was discarded.

Pei Yan supported his head with one hand, his brows were not too tight, but it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with the status quo.

The role played by Oda is not a background board tool that serves as a foil.Like the woman in the red dress and Xiao Zuo, she is an integral part of the film.

"Shen Zui." After a long silence, Pei Yan suddenly stretched out his hand towards Shen Zui.

Shen Zui turned his head in surprise.He stood up, "Director Pei, do you need my help with the show?"

"Look at this part of Xiaotian's play—it doesn't have a few words anyway," Pei Yan said blankly, "then you go up and perform it once."

"Me?" Shen Zui was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to realize, "I play the role of Xiao Tian?"

"Yes." Pei Yan looked at Xiaotian after finishing speaking, "This is the last chance I give you. When you are intoxicated and performing later, you should take it seriously."

For Shen Zui, the role of "Second Female" is not too difficult.

What he is best at interpreting is the secret desire of young teenagers.Now it's just a change from a boy to a girl, and the object of desire has partially changed.

Since coming into contact with the script, Shen Zui has lived in the role of "Xiao Zuo" for a long time.But when he started to read the story from the perspective of the second female lead, he found that there was not much difference in mood.

A young man who is lonely and has naive illusions about the outside world, fears, disdains and yearns for it.

"Mr. Shen?" Luan Wei came over, "Do you need me to help you build it first?"

Shen Zui muttered a few words.He closed his eyes and opened them again, "No, just act."

He untied his tied hair, picked up the basket of props from the ground, raised his head to the hot white sun for a while, and his fair skin was flushed.

It was the season for picking summer tea, and 14-year-old Lan Xiang came down from the mountain with baskets on her back.

She has something on her mind.The score line was announced a few days ago, she failed to pass the high school entrance examination, and will have to go to the city to work after the tea-picking season is over.

"Little sister, how old are you?" A scent that is obviously different from the soil of the mountains and forests came to the nostrils.

Lan Xiang raised her head and found that she had accidentally bumped into the "woman in the red dress".

She smells good, fresh, exciting, and therefore "high class".

"Fourteen." Lan Xiang pulled off her blouse, walked towards the yard of the house, and put down the basket.

She bumped into the woman, took a bowl of water from the house and brought it out.

The woman in the red dress smiled and walked into the yard without seeing anyone.

"Are you still studying?" She caught a glimpse of the exercise books and books piled up in the yard.

"I won't read it right away," Lan Xiang said, "I'm going to sell it for scrap."

The woman in the red skirt turned around, holding the bowl of water and never drinking it.There are heavy traces of makeup on her face, the connection between her face and neck is very stiff, and there are signs of makeup coming off her cheeks.

Lan Xiang didn't notice these details.She only felt that the woman in front of her was exquisite and beautiful, and she didn't even speak as rough as the villagers.

"Oh," said the woman in the red dress, "I went out to work at about the same age."

Lan Xiang blinked, there was light inside, but it was empty.

"Where do you work?"

The woman in the red dress pursed her lower lip delicately, "Where lipstick needs to be applied."

She took out a lipstick from a handbag with peeling edges, "Do you want to try it?"

Lan Xiang swallowed in disbelief, took it and pulled off the cover, as lightly as if she was afraid of breaking it.

The bright red paste showed some signs of melting under the high temperature, and it seemed to be soft and sticky.

There are several large pieces of broken mirrors leaning against the courtyard wall, which also look like waste products that are about to be sold.

Lan Xiang didn't wear lipstick.She didn't even dare to enter the room, but walked carefully to the irregular mirror and squatted down.

"She" stared at the mirror earnestly, tentatively applying it to her lips, her arms were trembling slightly.A smear of stinging red fell on "her" lips, which were too wide, and accidentally spread to the place above the lips that should not be applied, and the corners of the mouth paused unnaturally.

Lan Xiang stared dumbfounded at herself in the mirror, and Shen Zui also stared dumbfounded at herself in the mirror.

When he shyly picked up the lipstick and wiped it on his own lips, he looked like Lan Xiang; when his lips were red, he took on a bit of the charm that Luan Wei's character should have under the camera.

He suddenly understood that to some extent these three characters were symbiotic.

What Pei Yan really wants is definitely not an actor who looks like a drunk in reality, but a female lead who looks like the hero in the movie.

A sexually transformed version of Narcissist who is about the same age as the hero "Xiao Zuo".

The drama is over.Shen Zui stared at the mirror in a daze.

With his hair hanging down and his lips painted on, he seemed to see A Xue from many years ago.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen!" Luan Wei seemed to have seen something.She stepped forward and squatted down, patted the shoulder of intoxicated.

Intoxicated and dazed, his hair was dizzy and he almost fell to the ground.

"Mr. Shen, are you alright?" Luan Wei is very strong, and he can still support Shen Zui who is squatting while stepping on high heels.She helped Chen Zui to stand up, "Are you suffering from heat stroke?"

Shen Zui's face turned pale, and the parts of his lips that were not painted were also pale.He shook his head, "I feel dizzy after squatting for a long time."

Shen Zui was helped to rest beside him, and the makeup artist took off his makeup for him.

He was lying on the rocking chair, and the rhythmic rain fell outside the window at some point, and he fell asleep after blinking his eyes.

The rain fell hard and the sun disappeared completely.

When Shen Zui woke up, all the shooting equipment had been temporarily moved back into the house.The staff said that Pei Yan replaced Oda.

"Replace?" The intoxication seemed to have not fully awakened.

"Director Pei said that he wanted to re-select actors," the staff member sighed, and whispered, "The main reason is that after watching your performance, Oda's gap is too big."

Shen Zui frowned, "Where is Director Pei?"

Pei Yan is in a hurry to arrange the re-selection of the second female lead.He had asked the production department to rearrange the announcement list, and moved the scenes of Shen Zui and Luan Wei to the front.

"Director Pei." It was raining heavily outside, Shen Zui knocked on the door several times before Pei Yan heard it.

"Are you awake?" Pei Yan was looking at the recent footage, and raised his chin to signal Shen Zui to sit down.

Shen Zui remembered today's play.He pursed his lips and decided to ask directly, "Have you heard about my family?"

Pei Yan could have directly exposed the relationship between Xiao Zuo, Lan Xiang and the woman in the red dress, especially the relationship between Xiao Zuo and Lan Xiang, but he didn't.

"During the background check for you, I found something." Pei Yan glanced at Shen Zui, "I asked Yan Mingyang later, he didn't really want to talk, he just told me roughly..."

"I understand." Shen Zui nodded.He did not express any opinion on the three words Yan Mingyang.

"Intoxicated," Pei Yan stopped what he was doing, "For me, "Zuo Liu" is not a film that simply speaks out for social issues."

"I have something else in it that I want to express."

"It's just that, for you, the story might be a little too empathetic."

""Zuo Liu" essentially has only one character, right." Shen Zui raised his head.

Pei Yan didn't speak.

"I can act well." Shen Zui stood up calmly, "You don't need to pick a second female who looks like me."

"The female second is not only Xiao Zuo's sexually transformed mirror image, but also represents his inner desire. It is too similar to make people ignore the latter."

Pei Yan nodded, "I know. I'm not going to pick someone like you now, I've found a new solution."

"Since you have no problem at all with cross-dressing," Pei Yan said, "I'm going to add a 3-second indistinguishable shot for you at the end, so be prepared."

"......"

Due to the temporary shortage of the female second position, Shen Zui will be very busy for the next period of time.

It seemed that one day suddenly, he found out that his birthday was coming.

Pei Yan's crew had no humanistic care, and Pei Yan himself was so busy that no one thought about it.

On his birthday, Shen Zui returned to his residence very late after work as usual.He moved a chair and sat in a daze under the moonlight under the eaves.

"Teacher Shen." Luan Wei didn't know when she arrived.

"Teacher Luan." Shen Zui stood up.

"Happy birthday," Luan Wei put a plate of food in his hand, "There is nothing here, only a lot of fish."

Shen Zui was a little surprised, "How do you know that today is my birthday?"

"I checked it online." Luan smiled.

Luan Wei brought a piece of fish cooked by a fellow villager, and Shen Zui took a piece of it with his chopsticks.

"One hates the prickly river fish, the second hates the scentless crabapple, and the third hates the unfinished Red Mansion." He remembered his birthday last year.

Luan Wei listened carefully, "I basically go to school abroad, so I haven't heard of this."

"I also heard from Liu Heng, it seems there is something to say." Shen Zui picked up another piece of fish, "Thank you, Teacher Luan."

Luan Wei nodded thoughtfully.

"Mr. Shen, do you have anything to hate? I don't seem to have one."

A swallow flew by under the eaves.

The intoxicated eyes follow it casually, jumping towards the apricot-white moon in the layered darkness of the deep mountain night.

"I don't know." He shook his head, "Maybe he hates the swallows for flying too fast."

Luan Wei is a very cheerful person.She smiled and said after a while, "Mr. Shen, although the filming conditions are difficult, you can mention the birthday."

"Although Pei Yan is harsh, Yang Tian is a good man. He will definitely organize everyone to live for you."

Shen Zui somewhat understood Luan Wei's care for him.

Luan Wei, Pei Yan and Yang Tian are classmates.She knew that Shen Zui was born under Xia Rusen's family, and she might be worried that he would be sensitive and feel out of place here.

"Actually, I didn't celebrate my birthday when I was filming before." Shen Zui pursed his lips, "Maybe it's because I'm afraid of getting out of the show."

The swallow soon disappeared.
