Chapter 14: Belonging

"After watching the three-hour first cut of the film, I questioned the film's producer and editing team:

"Where did the part of the shot that the director agreed to reshoot at my strong request go?"

The contemptuous smile on the lips of Yuan Yuqiu, an investor and producer who was even younger than me, made me realize that at that moment there was no retreat for me.

It was also at that moment that I made up my mind to prevent the release of this film, even if it cost me a lot.

In the end, I did, even at a heavy cost.

Yes, I personally signed a mediation letter that immediately restricted me from appearing in mainstream theatrical films for six years, but I resisted them.

Because I firmly believe that it is worth it, and only in this way will my beloved Chinese films become better in the future.

I also hope that films like this, production companies like Pantech Entertainment will not appear again in the future.

Bad money drives out good money, and such works have an unprecedented impact on the development of the virtuous cycle of China's film market. ”

Miao Miao also annotated this paragraph in red font, and she wrote it like this:

"I don't care what the world says about you, but I'm glad you had such an experience.

It gives you time to expand the kindness that you started inadvertently when you were young, but it has always trickled down.

Now, the seeds that were sown in the past are gradually taking root and sprouting silently in this land.

Brother Qing, you have changed a lot of children who have lost their parents in their future lives.

It is precisely in this way that there is the story of the sixteen-year-old Miao Miao bravely entering the imperial capital alone, and this small and warm studio is born.

Come on, Mr. Yan Qing, you are not alone along the way. ”

Yan Qing can be regarded as fully understanding where Miao Miao's dependence, trust, and even admiration for Yan Qing came from when the two were alone.

At the beginning of his fame, Yan Qing began to continue to sponsor some children who lost their parents in Shaoguan City, Eastern Guangdong Province or other places, and in Miao Miao's upbringing, Yan Qing may play the role of both father and brother.

Yan Qing, who has been reminding herself to treat her well in her heart, feels even more distressed and loves this well-behaved and sensible girl.

Yan Qing's understanding of the crossing actually comes from the limited number of online novels he read in his previous life.

Generally, the mainstream setting is that the protagonist wears all kinds of waste materials, and at first glance, he will inevitably encounter the plot of bullying and humiliation when he travels through the past, and what dropouts, divorces, and unemployment are all trivial.

As the plot unfolds layer by layer, the protagonist who is cornered, betrayed and separated, miserable, and full of injuries and illnesses is disabled and strong, counterattacks all the way, pretends to be forced to slap his face, and finally succeeds in ascending to the position, being promoted to CEO, and marrying Bai Fumei.

Only in this way can a group of readers yearn for it, sigh that all kinds of cool points emerge in endlessly, fight with the sky and the earth, fight with people, and finally break through the sky, which can be regarded as the meaning of crossing the rebirth as a human being.

"What am I, as soon as I entered the game, I found that I had reached the full level of my account, and the warehouse was full of treasures and artifacts."

"This kind of experience is passed on, and in the words of Teacher Liu, it is to apologize in front of the people of the whole country."

"The owner of this identity in a parallel time and space has done such a good job, what kind of attitude should I, a second-rate music producer, face these glories after I have crossed over."

"There are so many empty showcases in the showroom next door, maybe that's what I've crossed over, trying to fill these empty showcases, and when I was younger, I was so sharp and fierce against the evil side of that world."

Yan Qing's chest was stirring, and he really found a sense of belonging at this moment.

"Choosing to replace him in a more mature way to fulfill his dreams and desires in this time and space can be regarded as living up to himself, and not dishonoring the glory left by this other Yan Qing."

At this time, Yan Qing was very glad that he at least had the memories he had brought with him, filled with many, many gifts from another world, and the precious spiritual wealth piled up by those classic works.

"Come on, work hard, Yan Qing."

Determined to become excellent, he operated the digital projector and began to screen the 2013 film "Brave" with 16-year-old Yi Yi as the leading actor and actress.

Yan Qing bit the tip of the pen, and followed the pictures on the big screen to restore the demeanor and manners of the protagonist Zhang Jiazhi frame by frame in his mind.

The film "Brave" is a film that describes the campus life of a high school in Huhai, China.

After Yan Qing watched all the way, Yi Yi, who was slightly young at the time, gave an excellent interpretation of the role of Guan Keying - a first-year high school girl with a wealthy family and excellent academic performance.

The movie is based on Kwan Keying's stumbling experience full of adolescent pains in the freshman semester, and from the unique perspective of a sixteen-year-old girl, it shows some microcosms of the current Shanghai and even the entire Huaguo High School campus.

The movie fiercely criticizes the wrong values such as early love, school bullying, comparison, vanity, dislike of poverty and love for wealth, and also praises the courage and attitude of contemporary Chinese youth in the face of confusion, external temptation, and study pressure, as well as the sincere and touching friendship between teenagers.

And the actor Zhang Jiazhi played by Yan Qing has perfect acting skills, interpreting the blackening history of an eighteen-year-old high school transfer boy born in a single-parent poor family within half a year.

In the face of school bullying, Zhang Jiazhi changed from cowardice to fighting and finally turned black into an abuser.

Faced with poverty and embarrassment of not being able to afford school uniforms, Zhang Jiazhi went from being sensitive and uneasy to learning to pretend to be calm.

Faced with the girl who was just beginning to fall in love, Zhang Jiazhi changed from low self-esteem and rejection to using various tricks to use and hurt the girl.

Zhang Jiazhi took the simple Guan Keying as the prey, from pretending to be a hero to save the beauty to deceiving Keying step by step.

As the plot progressed, Zhang Jiazhi's blackening became more and more serious, and he also controlled Guan Keying step by step, and gradually fell into the abyss of school bullying with him.

At the end of the plot of the public version, Guan Keying finally mustered up the courage to get out of her nightmarish early love with the help of her parents and friends, wittily and bravely collected some criminal evidence of Zhang Jiazhi, and cooperated with the police to bring Zhang Jiazhi to justice, protecting herself and more classmates from campus bullying.

However, there is also a director's cut version of "Brave" on the hard drive, and the ending is dark.

Guan Keying made a completely different choice at a critical point in the movie, she was full of tears, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to Zhang Jiazhi, who looked desperate:

"Zhang Jiazhi, from now on, please give me a lot of advice."

Since then, he has accompanied Zhang Jiazhi into the endless abyss of sin.

Yi Yi's acting skills in this director's special cut version are higher than those of the public version, and being able to choose to blacken together is of course "brave".

The day before yesterday, Yi Yi had many interactions with Yan Qing on the stage, and now Yan Qing recalls that he was lacking information at that time, so at least there was nothing wrong with the restrained response style he chose.

Before making up for this ending, Yan Qing had been worried that he had aroused Yi Yi's suspicions, and judging from the released version of "Brave", Yi Yi's motive for saying "my classmate Zhang Jiazhi" to him could not be found at all, and it seems that Yi Yi obviously prefers this version of "Brave".

After watching the two versions of "Brave", Yan Qing got up and looped these clips on the screen again and again at the precise time points of multiple scenes of Zhang Jiazhi's emotional outbursts recorded in his notes.

He mobilized all the muscles in his body, and followed Zhang Jiazhi on the big screen with joy, anger and sorrow.

This repeated invocation of muscle memory to stimulate the body is a new method that Yan Qing thought of yesterday, and he plans to try it to see if this can restore part of the body's memory.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can't get any memories back, at least you can let Yan Qing completely inherit this super high performance skills, and you can also strengthen your control over your body.

The scene of his body losing control in the passage of Queqiao the day before yesterday left a deep shadow on him.
