"'Simple' is the least simple, and the point made by Director Duran yesterday is actually that Snake should have a kind of human purity, and my current problem is how to turn a snake into a 'person' that the director wants."

The high-end apartment is fully furnished, and in the study room, which serves as a work room, there are a few books that Chi Chi bought not long ago, a laptop, and some notebooks.

More than a dozen notebooks are almost something that Chi Chi has to carry with him every time he films, many things to revisit and review, and many old ideas can ignite new ideas.

Just like when performing the role of Snake, Chi Chi not only referred to the Judge he had participated in, but also re-looked at the pull sheet records he had made, and of course, new notes were also recorded in a steady stream, even including the reading notes of "Reptile Encyclopedia".

If someone can take a closer look at how many things Chi Chi has prepared in order to play a role, they will probably think that she is not an actor, but a scholar with a lot of knowledge.

Many theorists of acting have made "learning animals" an important part of performance learning, such as using the lightness and cuteness of imitating birds to express the carefree nature of the characters, and also using some specific movements summarized from the trained dog to perform loyalty and caution.

The character of Snake needs far more elements belonging to snakes than the above examples, so Chi Chi is not satisfied with superficial research on snakes, but is committed to turning himself into a real snake first, and then extracting the parts that can belong to humans from the snake's wild behavior.

After all, unlike the character who is actually called the Wild Lion and is infinitely powerful and murderous, the title of Viper does not refer to her ability, whether it is appearance or life habits, Snake is the real person and name of the seven characters, and the screenwriter uses a lot of "snake-like" descriptions in the scene description, constantly reminding the performer to become a snake first, and then to play a person.

The young woman sitting in the light and meditating had long black hair that looked unshiny at all, and the light shone on it like a flashlight pointed at the endless night.

Blacker than her hair at this time were her eyes, in which a thousand threads rolled like a whirlpool that would not stop.

Letting all kinds of thoughts go back and forth in his mind, Chi Chi quickly flipped a few pages forward with the notes in his hand, and one after another storyboard quickly flipped and jumped like a playback of a movie, which was exactly the picture of Chi Chi's performance these days.

even included the rivalry between Chi Chi and "Crazy Lion" on the day of the audition.

It's just that in these pictures, the image of Snake is not represented by the villain that Chi Chi has always painted, but a snake.

Snakes standing in dilapidated houses, snakes standing on bustling streets, snakes standing in dark alleys......

They look at people with a false warmth and a real coldness, as if they are wandering through a wilderness of voles and eagles, patrolling their prey and avoiding predators.

However, the director demanded that the purity of human beings be reflected in such a primitive wild animal.

How pure could it be?

Good and evil are never within Snake's considerations, and what falls under the category of "human" thinking seems to have nothing to do with her.

Looking at the snakes he had drawn, Chi Chi raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

Outside the room, Yu Yuan and Chen Fang were almost silently checking the assistants' work today, how they observed Chi Chi's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and whether there were any good work suggestions...... These are the areas they have to ask.

Chen Fang knew that Yu Yuan was attentive to Chi Chi, and she hoped that the people who came to take over her work could be more meticulous about Chi Chi in life, such as being able to find a way to control Chi Chi when he was hungry, and for example, letting Chi Chi not work too late.

Yu Yuan is a cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and there is no problem in protecting Chi Chi externally, but as soon as she faces Chi Chi's request, she is intimidated, inside and out, and Chen Fang is also speechless.

"What should I do if Chi Chi doesn't like to eat chicken now?"

Assistant Chen asked in a low voice an alternate assistant in front of her.

"Ah......h

What can I do? The assistant looked dazed, Chi Chi was the one who paid for them, and she was a big star, she said that if she didn't eat it, she wouldn't eat it.

"Otherwise, just break the chicken completely and put some black pepper, so that Chi Chi will not dislike the chicken firewood."

A female assistant with a ponytail next to her said.

Chen Fang didn't even look at her, but said slowly:

"I remember that I said on the first day you came, when Chi Chi talks to others, he doesn't like others to interject."

Yu Yuan didn't speak, originally the two of them were a □□ face, and the other was a white face, but now Chen Fang, who had a □□ face, suddenly showed a thorn, and she just had to support her white-faced person silently.

After coming from China for a few days, every day with Yu Yuan and Chen Fang was busy for Chi Chi, these alternative assistants really felt a lot of different things.

The domestic artist service system is still very imperfect compared with the rapidly developing entertainment industry, many actors' assistants and even agents are served by their relatives or classmates, except for one of their four female assistants who is a college student who has just graduated for less than a year, the rest have been working hard in the entertainment industry for a while, and it is really the first time I have seen someone send a group of people abroad to follow the artists to let people choose slowly.

I don't know whether to say that he is rich and capricious, or that Chi Chi is big enough now.

But when the truth came up, they found that Chi Chi was a very talkative person, not only did he basically do his daily life, but he also had no regard for people. The idea in their hearts of "look at what the most popular female star has three heads and six arms" in their hearts, because Chi Chi's life is too normal and ordinary, it will soon fade away.

Due to some confidentiality regulations, Yu Yuan still doesn't let them watch Chi Chi acting, so all they see is a normal busy and serious girl, and they will frown because they are uncomfortable eating.

After having this idea of "Chi Chi is not a big deal", their restrained attitude improved a lot, but Chen Fang's words just now made their nerves tense.

Well, yes, Chi Chi is no different, but Chi Chi's "dislike" is enough to make them lose this lucrative and glamorous job.

Being an assistant to Chi Chi is enough for them to show off, not to mention the exciting remuneration and employment prospects.

Don't you see that Chen Fang is about to be promoted from assistant to artist supervisor? It is said that they are also responsible for the work of discovering new people together with new economists, which can be regarded as a step up to the sky for their industry.

Chen Fang looked at the four people in front of her with satisfaction, the reason why she made a mistake was because she didn't have enough respect for Chi Chi, so now she has to let these people understand who is really talking about who is.

In the room, Chi Chi had already stood up, and on one of the walls in the study was a large mirror with a delicately carved copper frame, and she walked to the mirror step by step, slowly adjusting her expression and eyes.

What should she look like when she saw that school was blown up and the principal was dead inside?

How to show the purity of "human"?

Chi Chi suddenly thought of the child.

If you want to say pure, it must be a child.

Turning around and taking out his mobile phone to check the information, Chi Chi first saw a pop-up message on WeChat.

Tu Zhouzhou called her to receive the new chart of accounts.

Chi Chi then remembered that Tu Zhouzhou's winter vacation seemed to be coming to an end.

A bunch of people in the WeChat group of the second class of the acting department were discussing when to go back to school, and Chi Chi watched them chatting lively, and posted the questions he was thinking about.

Serious study is not lazy: "Snake and child, how should these two feelings be combined?" ”

Seeing Chi Chi suddenly bubbling, many people came out to say hello, and during the Chinese New Year, Chi Chi Yuan also sent red envelopes to the class group abroad, because of the time difference, many people didn't have time to thank Chi Chi, and now they hurriedly came out and hugged the thighs of the god and local tyrant and tutor by the way.

Among this group of people, of course, there are also people who seriously think about Chi Chi's question, such as Tu Zhouzhou......

I was really happy to be porridge without hanging the department: "Snake and child, gourd baby? ”

The group fell into an eerie silence, and then was swiped by various expressions and "hahahaha".

Hulu baby?

Chi Chi also thought about the story very seriously, the snake spirit with a strange face represents evil, and the gourd babies represent good......

Wait, do the children who have just broken the gourd into a scoop really know what goodness is?

In terms of morality, the most fundamental factor that encouraged them to save people was because it was the "grandfather" who was captured by the monster.

Throughout all the behaviors of human development to the present, all the driving forces are "thinking", that is, "desire", and children's performance at this point has always been the most intuitive.

Wei Meng began to lose weight: "Snakes and children, what I think of is a bear child, and the bear child doesn't know how to be afraid when he sees a snake." ”

I'm really happy to not hang the department, porridge: "The bear child doesn't know what to see, and he is spoiled by the family." ”

Fear?

The small talk in the group continued, and Chi Chi had already put down his phone and stood in front of the mirror again.

How does a person show fear?

A face full of horror appeared in the mirror, as if her face was no longer hers.

How does a snake show fear?

The person in the mirror closed his eyes and thought for a moment, opened his eyes and made his face appear as a snake, then his pupils shrank, his head tilted back slightly, and he looked like he was about to run away at any time.

What happens to a child who doesn't know what to be afraid of when she sees that everyone else is afraid?

The person in the mirror showed a smile that could be called beautiful, and there was no fear and fear in her eyes, only a childlike innocence to see the excitement.

There is no fear when she should be afraid, not only for the terrible things that happen in front of her, but also for morality, for humanity, for everything that will not let her die on the spot.

Looking at this mirror, Chi Chi raised his hand and touched his cheek.

Her face turned to that of a snake again, wary and cold, but she wasn't a snake after all, so when the school exploded in front of her, and the headmaster who helped their team died inside, she ...... There was a smile on her face that was simply hilarious.

There is no joy and no sorrow.

A child walks in this world that can make her bleed at any moment, and then, she grows up like a snake.

With something that will never change.

……

The first scene after everyone joined the group happened to be the scene of the explosion, and Chi Chi only met the other six main actresses in the crew on that day, except for Heloise, who had been in the scene, she originally only knew a little about Hannah - her agent had a good relationship with Xue Ya.

Hannah is a tall, dark-skinned and plump woman who dyes her hair a dazzling teal and wears white and blue tones to play the role of a peacock.

When I greeted Hannah, Chi Chi had not yet put on makeup, and the oriental girl without makeup was wrapped in a black down jacket and holding a thermos cup in her hand, which reminded people of those oriental students who were wandering around the campus - in fact, most of those international students were older than Chi Chi.

Under Hannah's background, Chi Chi is like a child who has not grown up, whether it is looking at it from the front...... Or look sideways.

"I've seen your "The Way of the Other", and at the film festival, it was a very good performance."

Hannah is a person who seems to be enthusiastic, she took the initiative to give Chi Chi a warm hug, if it weren't for the fear that the cold powder on her face would get on the other party's face, she might also give the other party a veneer gift.

"It's a great honor for you to see my work, and I've also seen 'Crash' and 'River of Dreams.' I can't believe Mrs. Chet and Leda are played by one person."

The two works that Chi Chi said are Hannah's own proud masterpieces, and hearing an actress from a foreign country cherish her works like this, Hannah's smile is a little more sincere.

Florence, who plays the nightingale, has no makeup like Chi Chi, her eyes are very beautiful brown, and there are a few residual freckles on her face, in fact, she is only eighteen years old this year, but by virtue of her racial characteristics, she still looks older than Chi Chi.

"Working with that old man from Duran is about being prepared to be treated as dough, I can't believe I'm in her hands again."

It's not the first time that Florence has worked with Basille Durán, she is quite famous as a child star, she calls the director an old man in front of Chi Chi, showing her youth, and also showing a certain "advantage" when facing Chi Chi.

But there is such a thing as an advantage, both sides think it is, it is, if it is not...... Not......

"If I give you a share of the next time I eat in the middle of the shoot, will Director Duran glare at both of us at the same time, or will he not pursue me because of you?"

Hearing Chi Chi's words, Florence raised her eyebrows and smiled and didn't speak again, when Chi Chi turned around and walked to the dressing room, she glanced at Director Duran who was adjusting the camera, and her expression was not as relaxed as when she faced Chi Chi just now.

used one sentence to show that he has a good relationship with director Duran.

Obviously, Chi, a newcomer, is not as easy to bully as she imagined.

The dressing room is not a single person, and Basille Durán didn't want each of the seven female stars to ask for special treatment, and eventually made his filming location "the palace of the seven princesses".

Heloise, who was sitting next to Chi Chi and was adjusting her hairstyle, saw Chi Chi come in, her expression did not change.

In the eyes of many people, Heloise should be the one who has the biggest opinion of Chi Chi among all people, after all, according to different sources, Chi Chi's extraordinary interpretation of Snake helped director Duran convince the producers to change the shooting plan. This kind of filming method in which everyone shoots their own and speaks according to their abilities seems to give opportunities to actors with few scenes, which will naturally shake the original starring position of "Crazy Lion" played by Heloise.

But Heloise herself doesn't think so, because she knows more than anyone else - behind this strange way of filming is the producer's idea of making a one-man film that will eventually be combined into a big series.

In other words, the characters who are outstanding in "The Seven Villains" are likely to become the protagonists of a one-man blockbuster movie.

A woman is the absolute protagonist, setting is interesting, the protagonist of a superhero movie.

Compared with the arrangement of scenes in a movie, Heloise obviously values this opportunity more.

So when Chi Chi smiled at her, she nodded lightly without hesitation.

When Ji Chi, who had put on makeup and changed his clothes, appeared in front of everyone in his twelve-centimeter high heels, Hannah patted his chest exaggeratedly.

She was completely different from the girl forty minutes ago, both in terms of momentum and demeanor, this huge contrast highlighted a wild handsomeness and uninhibitedness, and at one point, Hannah even regretted that she had given up the role of Snake.

It is said that it is a bombing school, but in fact, it is a group of people tossing and turning in a venue surrounded by green screens, no matter how vigorous the special effects of this scene will be, what these actors have in their eyes is nothing more than an empty studio.

Ji Chi, who was wearing high heels, showed her unusual flexibility, many movements did not need to be directed by the director a second time, and the twelve-centimeter heel stepped on her feet as if it was just an extension of her legs, which hardly affected her movements.

The snake's ability to escape danger is extremely strong, and she is even a little faster than the others.

The camera gives close-ups of everyone, some people's faces are panicked, some are decisive and brave, and some people are expressionless, compared to them, Snake's performance in this section can only be described as decent.

"They can all be exaggerated, after all, they're a bunch of bad people, aren't they?"

There are always people who think that as long as they dress up like a bad guy and laugh badly, they are bad guys, are bad guys really so good at acting?

"Remember, remember the sense of danger that you have to give, all the time, remember who you are."

In between the shooting, Basille Durán said to the seven female stars in front of him.

"I know that you are all used to being the protagonist and think that the camera should naturally serve you, but I have to regret to tell you that there is not enough time, and you have to compete for time from the camera if you want the audience to notice you."

Is it time that is in contention?

Ji Chi, who was standing next to the crow actor, smiled.

What should really be fought for is effective communication in the footage.

When the operation fails and everyone escapes, the nightingale played by Florance sobs heavily, much louder than expected.

Originally, the nightingale was sobbing in this scene, but her voice made many people at the scene can't help but look at her.

It even includes several actors in front of the camera, such as Chi Chi.

The nightingale was crying, the peacock patted the nightingale on the shoulder as comfort, the mad lion was unconscious, the hungry leopard was taking care of the mad lion, the pitcher plant was bandaging her wounds with a calm face, and the crow's face was hidden under the cloak so that people couldn't see her expression clearly.

And the viper...... She turned her head to look at the nightingale, and when she turned her head to look at the explosions one after another, she had the simple smile on her face like that of a child watching the excitement.

As if because of another continuous explosion, her expression was even a little intoxicated.

The feeling of "I'm the worst in the audience" reappeared, and the peacock looked up at the viper in disbelief, and pulled out the weapon in his hand again, as if the viper would pull out its gun and knock everyone out in the next second.

Even the pitcher plant, which was crouching in the corner and silently bandaging, shrank her shoulders - that was the action she was going to attack, and the vines growing behind her would be done with special effects.

The atmosphere was once again dangerous because of Snake's smile, and of course because everyone had reacted to the danger, and the hungry leopard stared at Snake vigilantly, blocking the lion with his own body - she hadn't forgotten that the lion had forced Snake to wear a neck ring.

Director Duran, who sat behind the monitor, smiled and straightened his cuffs, he loved the scene, or rather, the feeling that all the actors were trying to get his attention.

Everyone was brought into a tense atmosphere by the young actress from the East, this feeling is what Director Duran has always wanted, everyone is a bad person, and the first thing to do in the face of danger is to guard against each other.

With a black neck ring on his fair-skinned slender neck and a long black chain, Snake slowly grabbed his neck and slowly walked towards the mad lion lying on the ground in an atmosphere of hostility from everyone.

"Arrogant, arrogant, self-righteous."

One word after another came out of her mouth, there was sand and blood on her body, she should be as tired as everyone else, but no.

A snake is not tired, it always makes people feel that danger is imminent.

"Viper, you go back."

The hungry leopard roared in an attempt to force her back, only for Snake to stiffen the corners of his mouth.

"You're protecting her? Because she put a chip on you? It's like a farmer putting a mark on a horse's butt? ”

As she spoke, Snake stared at the hungry leopard with misty eyes, and her gaze only turned back to the mad lion when she spoke of the horse's ass.

Feeling offended, the hungry leopard took a step back to pull out her weapon.

Snake pounced on her at this point.

Some of the others moved, some didn't, the mad lion lost its combat effectiveness, and the ferocious hungry leopard and the mysterious poisonous snake can be said to be the two people with the highest combat effectiveness among them.

"Do you protect her because she's your friend, because she's your former chieftain, or because of something else?"

How the snake restrained a huge prey, how Snake restrained the hungry leopard at this time, her legs were like a flexible snake tail, wrapped around the hungry leopard's body.

Snake looked at the hungry leopard condescendingly, in the way a man looked at a woman.

"Five, there are five pairs of eyes here, and what you want them to see is that you protect her, you help her, because you don't want to bear the reputation of betraying your partner...... Even if this partner burns a brand on your ass. ”

With a slight tongue stickout, Snake's hands slapped on the hungry leopard's ass, her cool neck attached to the other's mouth, and the other party could bite her throat as long as the other party opened her mouth.

The hungry leopard let out an angry growl, and a strong hand grabbed Snake's braid to rip the snake off her.

"She says we can do good, do you believe it? No one believed us at all, what did the headmaster who was killed say about it? If we want others to believe in us, we have to pay a lot more than others, why, why do we want others to believe in us? We can get by, as long as we don't have these damn chips.

Think about your previous life, and then look at your present ......"

Surrounded by a hungry leopard, Snake looked at the struggling lion lying on the ground, her tongue slowly sliding from her teeth.

The mad lion opened her eyes slightly, her pupils contracted because she realized the danger, and she saw it, and just as the hungry leopard hesitated, Snake's hand had already stroked the other person's head along the hungry leopard's black hair.

"Tell me, do you hate her?"

“…… Be. ”

The hungry leopard lowered her noble head, her hand loosened the viper's braids, and in her chaotic brain, there were only those thoughts hidden in her heart that she wanted to confide.

"I hate her ......"

"Say it again, keep talking, and move forward as you go......"

Pointing to the dilapidated gap in the building, Snake dismounted from the hungry leopard and walked over to the unsheltered lion.

Black high heels, stepping on the chest of the mad lion.

"You...... Lost. ”

As Snake leaned over, the black chain hung down to the lion's mouth.

The mad lion coughed, and red blood flowed out, dragged by the chains into a red streak of blood on her face.

Seeing that the hungry leopard was about to be controlled by a poisonous snake and fell from the upper floor, the pitcher plant and the crow couldn't help but make a move. But the controlled hungry leopard is almost unstoppable, and as the fight rages, the peacock who is watching coldly on the sidelines can only help.

Perhaps they wanted to subdue the poisonous snake more than save the hungry leopard, and the pitcher plant that wanted to do so was stopped by the crow.

"She can manipulate the hungry leopard to attack us, don't mess with her yet."

As for the mad lion lying on the ground, the crow looked at her deeply.

"If you kill her, I'll hunt you down forever and smash every one of your cave nests. You know, I can find you. ”

The raven's voice was hoarse, and she could see whether everyone had bad luck or good luck in the short time to come, and no one knew what she saw in the lion, only that she turned and rushed to the edge of the building.

Snake turned his head and stared at the crow's back with the eyes of his prey.

"Don't kill her."

The timid nightingale murmured behind the viper, but did not even get a retrospective look from the viper.

She watched as the viper bent down to lick the blood from the lion's face, but could only tremble with fear.

"You've lost."

Leaning into the lion's ear, Snake spoke again.

Reaching out to reach for the key to his neck ring from the lion who was unable to dodge, Snake unlocked the lock from his neck, ripped off the neck ring and threw it on the ground with the key.

She straightened up and stretched her body lazily.

"Chi is like a snake put into a farm, reminding all the animals that they are in the wild that they have to fight against, not humans who can kill many snakes unscathed."

A year later, director Duran said this to the reporters he interviewed.
