Chapter Ninety-Eight: Broken Wings
"As the saying goes, the higher you fly, the more painful it hurts to fall......"
"I only hate now, why don't you just throw me into a pulp and fall into hell......"
On the black screen, along with a paragraph, a subtitle appears.
The picture gradually lights up, and the faucet is flowing out,
A boy leaned against a large white bathtub, picked up a dagger with trembling hands, and slowly placed it on his wrist......
The boy had disheveled hair, a haggard face, and a beard on his cheeks, and looked like a beggar living on the streets.
Su Xiaofan had never seen him like this, but he still recognized him at a glance.
Dong Jiatong also turned his head and glanced at Su Xiaofan, and they both saw a little surprise in each other's eyes.
"It seems that you guessed it right, he is ready to transform. Dong Jiatong sighed.
"Shhhh
Just when Su Xiaofan wanted to say something, the boy in the short film cut his wrist hard, and then put it into the bathtub that was already full of hot water.
The blood quickly spreads in the water,
When shooting, the underwater should have been lit up, and the light shines through the naturally dispersed wisps of blood from below, and the red refracted looks clear and beautiful.
Steaming water vapor hits the camera, creating a layer of fog in front of the camera.
In the blurred picture, the title of the film appeared - "Broken Wings".
The first short film of the second half is an entry from Huaguo Theatre Academy!
And the boy who committed suicide was naturally Haoqian.
Su Xiaofan also noticed that there was a line of words under the title.
"This story is based on real events, if there are similarities, it is purely coincidental"
After seeing these lines, Su Xiaofan vaguely guessed what this short video was going to talk about......
A wave suddenly broke in his heart.
"Are they filming Haoqian's story?!" Dong Jiatong was also a little shocked.
It stands to reason that Haoqian shouldn't have avoided that incident?
He actually chose to repeat his nightmare again in a micro-film competition?
Su Xiaofan didn't answer, just stared at the big screen with a solemn expression.
Sure enough, what followed was a mixed cut of a series of materials such as Haoqian's previous filming of the TV series feature film, behind-the-scenes footage, fan meetings, and recorded TV shows, and at the same time, he introduced himself in a desperate tone.
It's just that the name was changed to Hao Qian.
Just when the music was high and Hao Qian in the picture was in high spirits, a basin of poop was suddenly poured on his head!
The screening room was in an uproar.
All of you here are in the film and television industry, or people who are about to step into the film and television industry, and there is no one who does not know Haoqian.
After seeing this scene, everyone turned their heads to look at Haoqian himself who was sitting at the scene.
Facing all kinds of eyes, Haoqian's face was very calm,
Zhu Jiabei, who was sitting next to him, looked at him with some concern and held his hand tightly.
Feeling the temperature of his palm, Haoqian smiled and turned his head to look at Zhu Jiabei: "It's okay, if I don't have the courage to face this past, how can I act in this film?"
Only then did Zhu Jiabei put her mind at ease.
The film continues, and what follows is media hype, failed exams, weird eyes from friends, and fans turning black......
Wherever he went, he was met with strange stares,
The close-ups of the facial features with sarcastic eyes and mouths have become particularly weird through simple post-distortion special effects.
The music is also oozing like a thriller, and the atmosphere is very depressing.
With Haoqian's devastating expression, the camera returns to the shot at the beginning of the film, and the blood continues to spread in the bathtub......
Bang bang bang –
The bathroom door rang.
"Xiao Hao, why do you take a shower at noon?"
A middle-aged woman's voice came from outside.
Seeing that there was no response inside, the woman who played Hao Qian's mother suddenly became anxious,
After knocking again and not responding, she took two steps back and slammed the door with her eyes closed......
Bang!
With the sound of glass shattering, the picture went black.
This was followed by panicked screams, ambulance sirens......
When the picture came back on, he was already in the hospital, and Hao Qian's mother held his hand and woke him up, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But after waking up, Hao Qian was very excited, he opened his mother's hand, ripped off the needle on his body, and shouted:
"Why save me, why don't you let me die, what is the point of me living!?"
His mother was stunned, and after coming back to her senses, she hurriedly tried her best to protect Hao Qian, who was constantly beating her.
The mother and son immediately cried......
My father, who had just walked to the door with the lunch box, also stopped and wept.
During his time in the hospital, Hao Qian found that every morning, a small greeting card would be stuffed into the crack of his ward door, with words of comfort written on it.
"The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold. ”
"Be fearless and lonely, because there must be someone in this world who is trying to come to you. - Hayao Miyazaki"
"Heaven descends on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, starve their bodies and skin, and strain their muscles and bones......"
"No one knows what you do now and what the future will become, but the only thing that is certain is that every exploration now, every time you push away the hands that point you out, every time you don't compromise on following the trend, every time you run forward with tears, there will be a little difference in life. - "Thank You for Being Brave Enough"
“……”
Although Hao Qian didn't know who wrote these cards, he could smell a faint fragrance of jasmine on them.
So he asked his mother to put a bouquet of jasmine flowers on his bedside.
Ten days later, he was discharged from the hospital.
He began to pick himself up again, began to learn to ignore the strange looks of others, began to laugh with his friends, and began to study hard...... He even started to practice acting again.
He wants to get back to that, his stage!
But what awaits him is a notice of contract termination and failed auditions again and again......
No crew wants to use him anymore,
"Your image has been completely ruined, you can't be an idol actor anymore!
Hao Qian was silent, and he returned home dejected, and his mother handed him a letter saying that a girl had given it to him.
He opened the envelope, and there was only one sentence on the card inside.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the willows and flowers are bright and spring. ”
There is also a printed crew recruitment notice attached to the back, and the recruited character is a villain small supporting role.
He picked up the card and sniffed it gently.
He smiled, then pulled out a box from a drawer, which opened and was full of cards he had received while in the hospital.
He gently put the card in his hand into the box, closed the lid, and walked out the door with the recruitment notice.
The last shot freezes on a small wooden box on the table, and the subtitles of the staff sheet are superimposed on the screen, and it begins to scroll slowly......
