Chapter 63: I love this person, regardless of appearance, age or identity...
The shoot was scheduled for mid to late November in Melbourne. November is spring in the southern hemisphere, which is suitable for the spring flower sea theme of the opening issue of "Upwards in the Wind".
There was still some time before the magazine cover shoot. During this period, Hengxing Entertainment helped Qiao Zhizheng take on two business activities to maintain her exposure. A first-line endorsement agent was also in contact with her. Even when Qiao Zhizheng was successful in her career, she did not forget her foundation. She chose from the notebooks handed to her. There were many good ones, but she did not find one that satisfied her.
Qiao Zhizheng suddenly thought of a shortcut. He went to ask Qiao Zheng, carrying a pile of scripts, "Do you have any scripts here for the movies you've acted in?"
The phone that Qiao Zheng brought from the future stored all the movies she had acted in. Qiao Zhizheng only let Qiao Zheng play the movies she acted in when she was 19 years old or before that year. Qiao Zhizheng was worried that when she saw Qiao Zheng in a movie that she had not acted in yet, she would unconsciously imitate Qiao Zheng when she got the chance to act in it, and then she would lose her own understanding of it.
To be honest, watching another "Qiao Zhizheng" acting, Qiao Zhizheng felt very novel. Look, the person on the screen is me, but not me.
"Qiao Zhizheng" relies solely on herself for her life, and no one can change her. Qiao Zhizheng's life is changed by the grown-up "Qiao Zhizheng".
In a certain clip, Qiao Zhizheng discovered that "Qiao Zhizheng" was not only interpreting the role, but also taking this opportunity to express the pain deep in her heart under the guise of acting. Qiao Zhizheng caught a glimpse of the traces left on her by the world from "Qiao Zhizheng's" eyebrows, and Qiao Zhizheng was spared from suffering. Qiao Zhizheng wanted to wipe away the frost between her brows, but only encountered a cold screen.
Qiao Zhizheng withdrew her hand in a daze and kissed Qiao Zheng's eyebrows gently. Qiao Zheng's eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were as gentle as a pool of spring water under a peach blossom branch in spring, and she let her do what she wanted.
Qiao Zhizheng interlocked his fingers with Qiao Zheng, and he rested his head on her shoulder, calling her softly, "Qiao Zheng, Qiao Zheng, Qiao Zheng..."
Qiao Zheng put her hand on Qiao Zhizheng's head and stroked it gently. The strength of her fingertips was gentle and her presence was very strong. Qiao Zheng responded to her impatiently again and again, using body language to tell her - I am here, I have always been here.
Qiao Zhizheng pulled herself back from her memories and saw Qiao Zheng flipping through the script.
Qiao Zheng nodded and answered her, "Yes, but it's best not to go."
Qiao Zhizheng was puzzled, "Why?"
Qiao Zheng took a fairy tale script and placed it in front of her. "The plot is okay, right?"
Qiao Zhizheng nodded.
Qiao Zhizheng shook her head. "The male lead has good acting skills, he has financial backing, and the script is okay. It should be easy to get released."
When Qiao Zhizheng heard her praising the script without mentioning any shortcomings, she guessed that there might be serious problems that she was not aware of.
really--
Qiao Zheng said in a deep voice: "——But!"
Qiao Zheng had a complicated expression, as if she was remembering something that was hard to describe.
Qiao Zhizheng's curiosity was aroused, and she urged her, "Did something happen to him?"
Drugs? Ladybugs? Gambling?
Qiao Zheng saw the speculation in her eyes and thought that Qiao Zhizheng still had too little experience.
"He was under a lot of pressure and often covered his face and went out to work as a duck."
Qiao Zhizheng couldn't believe it, and couldn't even speak clearly. "Do, do, do, do... duck? Is this the duck I'm thinking of?"
"It's not the one that makes roast duck, roast duck, or crispy duck that makes the duck, it's the one that makes the dishonest one that makes the duck."
Qiao Zhizheng opened her mouth in surprise, her expression almost cracked.
Qiao Zheng thought, I had the same reaction when I first heard about this, what a pity...
Qiao Zheng raised her hand to close her mouth. "This can be considered as avoiding risks in advance. I had just finished filming this movie with him, and this news suddenly broke out just before it was released. The movie was considered a useless performance."
Qiao Zhizheng silently pushed the script away, supported her face with her hands, turned her head away, unable to bear to look at it.
Qiao Zheng placed another script in front of her and said, "I don't recommend you to act in this either."
"Is it also a personal conduct issue?"
"Um... no, it's just a bad habit of mine. I like to eat my own little nose."
Actors' ability to perform well is inseparable from their excellent imagination. Every time Qiao Zhizheng gets a script, reads the words on the script, and feels the story conveyed by the words, she will automatically imagine a small theater in her mind. There are many little people in the theater, and their actions, expressions and lines are all from the script. It is equivalent to a rehearsal in her mind. Her excellent imagination makes it easy for Qiao Zhizheng to act.
At this moment, Qiao Zhizheng's excellent imagination made a scene appear in his mind instantly. Because it was too vivid, I won't go into details here. Qiao Zhizheng subconsciously retched and silently put this script on the previous script.
Okay, next one.
"This, poisonous insect."
Put it on, next one.
"ladybug."
Then put it on, the next one.
…
After the "trial," Qiao Zhizheng looked at the few remaining scripts in his hand, chuckled dryly, and sighed softly, "The waves wash away the sand."
The pile of scripts that was originally so high was hit by Qiao Zheng's huge wave, and nothing was left.
Qiao Zheng gently scratched her nose with her finger, "Tsk~ Do you really have to pan for gold in the world?"
Qiao Zhizheng paused as she was about to take the rest of the script and flip through it again. Suddenly, she realized something and thought outside the box. "Right, I can ask any directors I know, or any directors they know, if they have any."
Since the mountain won't come to me, I will go to the mountain.
"Don't worry about those ineffective performances. It's a waste of time." Qiao Zheng pondered for a moment. "You can go find Chen Yuzhi. She has a script that should be pretty good."
Qiao Zhizheng agreed, but after a while, she suddenly realized something was wrong, "Haven't you ever performed in the script she has?"
Qiao Zheng lowered her head in silence for a moment, then pulled out words from the corner of her mind that had almost become moldy. "In my original timeline, when she went to scout the location for the new script, the venue collapsed, and she...didn't make it back."
Qiao Zheng thought she spoke calmly, but she had no idea how sad her expression looked in Qiao Zhizheng's eyes, with a sense of loss in her sadness.
Qiao Zhizheng hugged her, making Qiao Zheng feel that she was reliable, and in front of her, the heavy and invisible things on her shoulders could be temporarily unloaded.
Qiao Zhizheng said confidently, "You avoided the risk in advance, right?"
Qiao Zheng uttered a deep "hmm." "I gathered evidence and reported them to the higher-ups. Later, after someone came down and confirmed that the venue would collapse, they demolished it."
During that period, Qiao Zheng often drove to check on their demolition progress. The feathers fluttering in her heart slowly descended a distance until the day of complete demolition, when they finally landed.
In the two timelines, at least one of my friends Chen Yuzhi survived.
After calming down, Qiao Zheng hugged Qiao Zhizheng, and Qiao Zhizheng held the phone to contact Chen Yuzhi.
After knowing the purpose of Qiao Zhizheng's call, Chen Yuzhi said happily, "Yes, I have almost finished preparing the script. I feel it is the kind of role you would like to play. I was just thinking of finding a time to send it to you, and you came to me first. I will send you the script, would you like to take a look?"
"Okay, Director Shen, no problem, Director Shen."
Chen Yuzhi was speechless, "Qiao Zhizheng, that's enough. If you continue to play tricks on me like this, I'm going to scold you."
"Isn't this just a matter of time? Director, let me give you a shout first~"
Qiao Zheng chimed in, "Can't you see that Director Shen is shy?"
"Ahhhhhh you two little lovers, enough is enough, stop it!"
"Beep, beep, beep~" Chen Yuzhi hung up the phone.
Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng looked at each other and smiled wickedly as if they were teasing someone.
Although Chen Yuzhi was furious on the phone, she was still happy inside. After happily sending the electronic script to Qiao Zhizheng's email, she began to think: the previously selected venue had been demolished due to the risk of collapse. Where else in Huadu could there be a similar venue? She had to look carefully.
Chen Yuzhi hesitated and crossed out the new venue from the options. She felt a little psychologically traumatized and decided to find a safe and stable old venue.
Qiao Zhizheng opened the script sent by Chen Yuzhi and studied it carefully with Qiao Zheng.
The name of this script is "Tower of Love Reading 12". If it is released in theaters, it will still have this name. Just for this name, you have to use search engines to search what the story is.
A very gentle and literary story, the core of the story is "I have read the words you left on the pages of books, seen the scenery you have seen, solved the puzzles and clues you left, slowly sketched out the details of your personality and life experience in my mind, and gradually fell in love with you. After falling in love with you, I found that you had already left. I don’t know your age, face, or identity. I just love you, love someone whose appearance I don’t know."
Qiao Zhizheng's gaze slowly shifted from the words on the cold screen to Qiao Zheng's face.
I love this person, regardless of her appearance, age or identity. I love her soul. My love exists in every look she gives me, and it also exists when she doesn't look at me.
Qiao Zhizheng felt as if her heart was inflated like a balloon, full and satisfying. Her heart was touched by these words, and she said to Qiao Zheng, "I want to act in this movie."
Qiao Zheng's thoughts echoed hers, "Then let's act."
Chen Yuzhi didn't expect Qiao Zhizheng to agree so quickly. She touched her pocket and said shyly, "My movie cost is not very high, so I may not be able to pay you too much."
Chen Yuzhi was aiming for an award, and the investment she raised was just enough for her to build a film team. Every penny had to be calculated carefully. She had been polishing the script for the female lead for many days. In her heart, Qiao Zhizheng was the most suitable one, but Qiao Zhizheng was now a hit, and Chen Yuzhi was embarrassed to ask her out of their friendship. If she agreed, it would hurt their feelings, and if she refused, it would hurt her face.
I didn't expect Qiao Zhizheng to ask me about it. Chen Yuzhi said it, but she didn't have much hope for Qiao Zhizheng to perform. She didn't expect Qiao Zhizheng to give her hope.
Qiao Zhizheng laughed and talked about the past. "Didn't we agree on that when we were on the set of 'Locking Spring Deep' that you would be the director and I would play the leading actress? What? Director Shen, have you forgotten?"
Chen Yuzhi shook her head, then realized that Qiao Zhizheng couldn't see, and said awkwardly, "This isn't..."
Qiao Zhizheng cut off her concerns and said, "I don't need any salary. Just give me a share of the film's profits."
When it comes to film profit sharing, it is a very risky idea to abandon the guaranteed income that is "guaranteed to make money regardless of drought or flood" and choose a film profit sharing method where the risk and return are proportional. If the movie is a hit, the profit sharing income will far exceed the fixed salary. If it does not make any waves, the income received may be far less than the fixed salary.
Chen Yuzhi felt the heavy burden falling on her. "Although this may sound polite, I still want to say, Qiao Zhizheng, I will never let you down!"
The benefits of actors participating in the film's profit sharing have also been reflected, and actors and directors will be more deeply involved in film production.
Binding of interests is always the most reassuring reassurance.
