The next day, Xu Shi woke up and hastily cleaned up, and then rushed back to his hometown with his eldest brother Xu Cheng and nephew Xu Mingjie.

There are not too many rules for worshipping ancestors in their hometown, and it didn't take long for them to complete the ancestor worship, and then left their hometown in the retention of a group of relatives and returned to the county again.

There was nothing else to do on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and after eating ingots at noon, it was basically fine.

However, Xu Shi didn't feel bored, and just took advantage of this rare free time to empty his mind and sort out his messy thoughts during this time.

Now it can be said that no one has much hope for his new movie, except for himself, the reason why everyone is still optimistic about his movie is because of the reputation of the previous one.

So the expectation of the movie is only on word-of-mouth, not at the box office.

A good reputation does not necessarily mean that the box office is good, which is a very normal thing.

After the incident between Xu Cheng and Xu Mingjie, Xu Shi also understood that he needed to give his family a little confidence and let them not worry about themselves.

Therefore, it is imperative to cooperate with Modu TV, no matter what, this contract needs to be signed, not only to reassure the family, but also to reassure the company's people.

In any case, everyone still has expectations for Xu Shi, so as long as there are follow-up funds, the hearts of the people on the company's side will not be too turbulent.

And no matter what, Xu Shi must remember this favor from Modu TV, firstly because this project was found by the eldest sister for favors, and secondly, because now people do have the mentality of pulling him along, of course, there is also the meaning of picking up cheap, or the mentality of investing, but no matter what, the favor that should be recognized must be recognized.

In addition to these things, the only thing left is the movie, the filming of the movie needs to be completed with quality and quantity, and it has reached this point, Xu Shi has paid a lot, and the pressure he is under is unimaginable to ordinary people, so no matter what, he can't ruin his reputation.

...............

Thinking about space, Xu Shi thought a lot, and it all surfaced in his mind, and unconsciously, he fell asleep like this.

After staying at home for another two days, like last year, Xu Shi left home on the third day of the Lunar New Year and went to the crew.

"Boss Sun, when can you be free over there?" After Xu Shi arrived at the crew, he repaired a little and called Sun Tu.

"Soon, there will be no one here after the Lantern Festival, brother, don't worry, after sending off this wave of guests, we will not accept other guests here for the time being, and we will leave it for you to shoot." Sun Tu said.

"That's okay, thank you Boss Sun. Xu Shi said.

Now Sun Tu has spent so much money on Xu Shi's movie, so it is equivalent to helping him strengthen his determination again, no matter what, he must make Xu Shi's movie well.

For this reason, he also did a lot of work as a partner, and repeatedly explained the benefits of Xu Shi's good reputation for films, which convinced the partner.

Xu Shi hung up the phone and began to discuss the plot and acting skills with Cheng Guochao and Zhang Kui.

Now that Truman's outburst has reached the doorstep, this outburst requires extremely high skills, and now Xu Shi has not grasped the key to it.

"Lao Cheng, tell me how to play this? How to express that kind of desperate emotion. Xu Shi rubbed his eyebrows and said, he had actually thought a lot about it before, but he had no specific ideas.

Cheng Guochao thought for a while and said: "The expression of despair is generally divided into two kinds, one is the explosion of depression to the extreme, which requires extremely strong emotional contagion, and the other is silence to death, and the extreme despair triggers the character's will to die, the sense of despair that cannot accept reality."

Of course, these are just ordinary situations, scenes like this still depend on the actors themselves, and many well-known actors have their own understanding of these emotions.

Sometimes you don't look like it's in the mood, but it's actually really good. ”

"Doesn't you say this to mean that you haven't said it, let's talk about the specifics, you don't know my situation, what should I do?" Xu Shi rolled his eyes and said.

"I really don't know about this, why don't you try the show first?

Zhang Kui on the side didn't speak, he just listened quietly, and he didn't know anything about such extreme emotions.

"Then I'll try it first. Xu Shi can only try to see the situation first, he is not sure about such a scene at all.

However, Xu Shi also needed to make more preparations, so he didn't try out the play on the spot, first carefully read the script again, and completely substituted himself into the role of Truman.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Xu Shi slowly accumulated his emotions in place.

At this moment, Xu Shi's eyes were open, but his eyes were extremely empty, and there seemed to be an indescribable pain condensed in his eyes.

"Why, why, why ?........." Xu Shi's mouth kept saying these three words, and his emotions went from low and empty at the beginning, and then slowly rose, angry, and then desperate!

Looking back on Truman's previous life, he was so happy and content.

Loving parents, loving wives, close friends, warm neighbors.

It can be said that he has experienced all the good things in the world before, and his life since he was a child has been so carefree and happy.

This has led to Truman's personality being a big sunny boy all the time.

But after knowing the truth of the facts, to think back on all this is simply an extreme mockery, it turns out that all this is fake.

His parents are not his real parents, not even adoptive parents, their love for him is fake, for money, for fame.......

For everything Truman could think of, not for him!

I think of his parents who taught him to be kind, honest, and trustworthy since he was a child.

He learned all these things, wrote them down, and implemented them, but what about his parents, relatives, and friends?

Isn't this an extreme irony!

How happy Truman was before, how desperate Truman is at this moment!

He is truly an outcast from the world!

No one cares how he really feels, everyone just uses him and makes fun of him!

These images kept echoing in Xu Shi's mind, as if he had slowly found his senses.

"What do you say?"

"Am I doing something wrong?

Xu Shi slowly squatted down, his legs curled up, his hands hugged his body, and the whole person was constantly trembling.

At this moment, the Sunshine Boy no longer exists, and he begins to fear the world, the so-called parents, and his wife.

..............

After a long time, Xu Shicai restrained his emotions a little, looked at the two people on the side and asked, "How about this effect?"

Cheng Guochao gave a thumbs up and said: "It's really good, I didn't expect you to be able to act so well, it seems that your Xu family is really naturally suitable for eating this bowl of rice." ”

This is Cheng Guochao's sincere praise, and what Xu Shi performed just now is already very good in his opinion.

"Isn't it just good?" Xu Shi frowned.

This scene is actually the emotional flashpoint in the play, but it doesn't seem to be able to achieve the effect he wants if it's good.

"Your explosive tension feels a little lacking, and it's not infectious enough, so why don't you do it another way. Cheng Guochao suggested.

Xu Shi nodded, but this effect was even less ideal, Xu Shi didn't seem to be able to fully understand the real despair, the kind of contagion that could make people see this emotion at a glance.

His eyes were indeed hollow, but that hollowness could not convey this emotion.

After two days like this, Xu Shi still hadn't found the feeling he wanted, and he slowly became anxious.

.................

On the twentieth day of the first month, everyone in the crew was busy on the island contracted by Sun Tu, and they had all arrived three days ago, and then started filming some content.

It's just surprising that the protagonist Xu Shi is not here, and he doesn't seem to know where to go.

"Xiao Cheng, tell me, where did Director Xu go, didn't I hear that he had arrived a long time ago? Why haven't I seen anyone until now?" Zhai Meirong was a little anxious.

It's been three days now, but I haven't seen where Xu Shiren is, which makes many people in the crew feel a little uneasy.

Unconsciously, Xu Shi has become the real core of the crew, everyone is revolving around him, without him, the crew seems to be missing something, and there is no confidence when he was there.

Cheng Guochao reluctantly smiled: "Aunt Zhai, don't worry, it's fast, it shouldn't be long before you come back." ”

"Then tell me what the hell he's doing, why hasn't he been seen for so long?" Zhai Meirong asked reluctantly.

She actually understands that Xu Shi's pressure is a little great, but she can't avoid it.

Cheng Guochao looked at her like this, and knew that it would not work if he didn't say something, so he thought about his tone and said: "You also know the role that Xu Shi is going to play next, he hasn't been able to really find that feeling some time ago, so he went to look for such a feeling." ”

Zhai Meirong was stunned for a moment, didn't she escape?

But when it comes to looking for it, Zhai Meirong is a little suspicious, how to find that desperate emotion?

Feelings like this need to be interpreted by actors with solid acting skills, which purely depends on personal ability.

After all, it's not like a simple emotion like being happy, down, or sad, and you can feel it by finding a place to experience it.

Where do you feel this despair?

And she could clearly feel that Cheng Guochao was a little absent-minded during this time, not only him, but even Zhang Kui, who was not there Xu Shi and should be happy.

Zhang Kui was not happy that Xu Shi was gone and he could really control the camera, but seemed a little restless.

She just wanted to continue to ask something, but suddenly saw Cheng Guochao constantly scrolling through the news, as if he was paying attention to something.

At this moment, Cheng Guochao's face was happy, and he hurriedly opened a news and read it carefully.

Zhai Meirong also came up curiously, only to see that the title on it read: Yesterday, the XX police, with the help of well-meaning citizens, smashed a black factory that manipulated the disabled!

I was stunned for a moment when I saw this title, and then I thought of Cheng Guochao's words just now, and my eyes began to flicker constantly.

Cheng Guochaozai carefully read the whole content, and then regardless of Zhai Meirong on the side, he immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call, and after hearing a hoarse voice over there, the whole person almost sat down on the ground directly, and no one knew his pressure during this time.

After seeing Zhai Meirong's inquiring expression, Cheng Guochao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Xu Shi will come back tomorrow, you don't have to wait any longer." ”

"This kind-hearted citizen is Xu Shi?" Zhai Meirong asked coldly.

She seemed to have guessed the truth of the matter.

At this time, Cheng Guochao no longer concealed it, and told the truth as it was.

It turned out that when Xu Shi was anxious some time ago, Zhang Kui, who had not spoken, suddenly said an idea that made Cheng Guochao feel extremely crazy.

That was to let Xu Shi go to some dark places to experience this despair, and he had heard of something similar.

At that time, Cheng Guochao was strongly opposed, it was too dangerous to do so, although Xu Shi's skills were very good, but what era is it now? It's not that you can run amok if you are good.

But Xu Shi seemed to have fallen into a madness, and agreed with Zhang Kui's idea as soon as he put forward it, and at the same time began to prepare.

No matter how much Cheng Guochao persuaded him, he couldn't dissuade Xu Shi from having this crazy experience.

At Xu Shi's insistence, they found someone to put on makeup for Xu Shi, and then made him unkempt and ragged, so that people couldn't recognize him at all.

At the same time, Xu Shi also showed a stupid appearance, which was also thanks to the stupid girl played by Xu Xiaoxiao last time, and he also learned a lot from it.

Cheng Guochao and Zhang Kui saw Xu Shi being 'coaxed' away by a person with a little food, and they were nervous to death at that time, for fear that Xu Shi would have a problem.

Even Zhang Kui, the person who made the suggestion at that time, began to regret it, it's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to actually operate.

There is a very big danger in this, it is not as simple as the last time I experienced the physical education teacher, and it is normal for life to be in danger.

This is also the reason why they have been absent-minded these days, and it is precisely because of their wrong state that they began to slowly affect the other members of the crew.

This is also the reason why Zhai Meirong couldn't bear it after three days, and this crew didn't seem to have the same spirit as before during this time.

is not only because of Xu Shi's absence, but also because of Cheng Guochao and Zhang Kui.

When Zhai Meirong listened to Cheng Guochao's story, she was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It's really not." ”

Although she said this, she had already begun to sincerely admire Xu Shi in her heart, which was from the bottom of her heart.

She also loves acting very much, and she also loves this industry, but she will never be able to do such a dangerous thing like Xu Shi for an emotional outburst.

Even she can pat her chest and guarantee that no one in the entire entertainment industry can do such a thing, except for Xu Shi.

"It's his own request, he wants to shoot every detail, especially at such an important point, and you know how much pressure he's under during this time. Cheng Guochao stopped talking, he didn't know what to say at the moment, and his heart was extremely complicated.

And Zhang Kui also saw the news at the same time, he couldn't eat and sleep well during this time, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a miracle that he can sleep for three hours a day.

Whenever he fell asleep, he would think of what happened to Xu Shi now, and the uneasiness in his heart would instantly come to his heart.

He was really afraid that something would happen to Xu Shi because of this, but in fact, he had already regretted it in his heart, regretting that he had made such a suggestion.

He actually saw the news earlier than Cheng Guochao, and called Xu Shi earlier, when he was really slumped in his chair.

But when he saw that Xu Shi was really successful, he had some pride and pride in his heart.

is proud that he can do things under Xu Shi's hands, and now he is really convinced by Xu Shi, the kind that is convinced, and he no longer has any thoughts.

Zhang Kui is now thinking that if he can be a full-time director for Xu Shi for a lifetime, it is also a good choice, where can I find such an actor?

Being able to make a movie like this is also something to be proud of in itself!
