Chapter 125
In fact, if you look closely, it is not entirely accurate to say that the passerby did not come to his senses.
Because as early as the night the drama was broadcast, a passerby who didn't know the truth posted on his Weibo: "Wow, the little brother who plays Jingyin is good-looking and has good acting skills. Is he a newcomer from a certain company?"
Of course, only real passers-by dare to be so unscrupulous.
Anyone who has tasted a little melon would not dare to say "not bad" so confidently.
Acting skills, unless they are so bad that they don't fit in with the style of everyone in the crew, are actually somewhat subjective. It is different from breaking the voice or dancing out of sync.
For non-professional passers-by, it is difficult to have a clear judgment standard.
At times like this, professional evaluation and direction are crucial.
Jie Xichao is an idol. Generally speaking, apart from making fun of him, no big names in the industry would specifically comment on his acting skills.
As for the wind direction...
In Fang Qingqing's words, "The haters wish they could hide themselves, so how could they dare to mention anything about my acting skills?"
——They also knew that once this was mentioned, all their previous doubts and ridicules would be untenable.
But even so.
As the plot unfolds and the popularity of the drama continues to rise, the reputation of Xie Xichao's acting skills has gradually fermented.
More and more people are saying on various social platforms that the actor who plays Jingyin has good looks and temperament, and most importantly, has very smart acting skills. Even when facing Dou Fei, he didn't feel that he was being suppressed at all.
You know, Dou Fei is a recognized Purple Star. He has a bright future following Lu Yong. If nothing unexpected happens, he will climb up step by step in the future and strive for various highest awards.
More and more people were praising him, and Yao Xin saw it all.
But they did not follow up blindly immediately, but waited patiently.
Waiting for that one opportunity that can really make Jie Xichao explode into fame.
And it didn't take long.
This opportunity arrived as expected as the plot developed.
-
On this day, Xie Xichao was still very busy.
That's what it means to run between two ends. The group variety show and filming can be recorded separately. However, the schedule of promotion and comeback preparation colliding with each other was like hell. Fortunately, Jie Xichao's physical fitness has become much stronger, so he was able to complete it.
It's so tiring to carry it all. When he was most tired, he basically fell asleep as soon as he sat in the car. Naturally, I don’t have time to watch the plays I have acted in.
But Xie Xichao is quite optimistic.
For him, his fate with a play ended when the filming was completed. As for the reaction after the broadcast, that is left to the audience. Whether the evaluation is positive or negative, it has nothing to do with him.
With this mentality. When the scene of "Jingyin being possessed by a demon" became a hot topic, he didn't know about it until midnight.
At that time, he had just finished recording and got in the car back to the villa with his teammates. After a whole day of recording, everyone was so tired that they didn't want to use their voices at all and just buried their heads in their phones. It was at this moment that Yun Pan suddenly exclaimed "Ah".
Everyone looked up at him and saw that his face was frowning in pain:
"I was spoiled by the trending search."
All TP members watched "Legend of Immortality", the only difference is that Zou Yi and Fu Wenzhe watched Jie Xichao's cut, while Ai Qingyuan and Yun Pan followed the drama with real feelings.
During this period, every time Jie Xichao returned to the dormitory, he could hear the two of them sitting on the sofa in the living room, each holding a pillow and clenching their fists. The only thing missing from an immersive audience is a loud shout: “Don’t bully the young and poor!”
The scene was so impressive that when Yun Pan said this, everyone almost immediately knew that "Legend of Immortals" had become a hot topic again.
Even though he has been bombarded with hot searches and push notifications in recent days, Zou Yi still couldn't help but sigh:
“This drama is so popular.”
It's really hot.
At this point, "Legend of the Immortals" has almost become a real-time hot drama that everyone is following. If nothing else, the theme song of this drama was recently added to the playlist of the shopping mall near them.
"I was just drinking water outside." Ai Qingyuan said vaguely with a lozenge in his mouth, "I also heard the staff discussing the plot. I was so scared that I left quickly."
joke.
He doesn't want to be confused by spoilers without knowing it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he met Yun Pan's burning eyes and immediately became alert: "Stay away from me!"
Yun Pan chuckled.
The next second, everyone's group chat rang collectively.
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
He threw the phone at Fu Wen Ze before the picture appeared.
The latter caught it helplessly and threw it back at him.
On the other side, Zou Yi had already clicked on the picture. He looked at the words above and was stunned for a moment: "Jingyin is possessed by a demon?"
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
"team leader!!!"
Zou Yi coughed awkwardly and looked at Li Xichao: "Xichao, can you take a look?"
Xie Xichao has already seen it.
It was a marketing account that he was very familiar with.
He paused and didn't click it. Instead, after arriving at the villa, he went straight to watch today's updated episode.
*
As soon as the screen opened, the plot of the master's meeting appeared.
Jie Xichao took a bag of potato chips, unwrapped it and watched himself being injured by Dou Fei with a cold face, then showed an expression of disbelief. He smiled very unkindly.
When he realized this, he coughed.
Jie Xichao has deep feelings for the character Jingyin. But this feeling is because this is the role he played.
Some actors get so immersed in their acting that it seems as if they are really living the life for the character. This is what we often call the experiential school in the performance system.
But Xie Xichao is not this type, he is more inclined to expressionism.
That is, he clearly knew that he was playing a role rather than being the role itself.
A big part of the reason is that his systematic life is a constant performance. Moreover, he is playing the role of cannon fodder. If he immerses himself in everything, he will have psychological problems. If I have to say, this is a form of self-protection.
So, Jingyin is special to him.
But at the same time, he can understand but not agree with many of the other party's psychology and practices.
This is the part of the plot that he feels is very regretful.
Jingyin, the sect master's first disciple, was defeated by his former good-for-nothing junior brother. Besides surprise, there was also resentment in his eyes. But Xie Xichao knew that this unwillingness would soon evolve into jealousy.
He took a bite of a potato chip and enjoyed the rare pleasure brought by carbohydrates. While doing so, he opened the barrage.
As soon as I opened it, the screen was filled with dense barrage of comments. He had to adjust the way the barrage was displayed so that they would float above. The first sentence that catches my eye:
[The beauty hisses, even her anger is so exciting]
Xie Xichao: “…”
What's up with people's XP nowadays?
He kept a sluggish face and tried his best to ignore these vicious words.
Fortunately, apart from those who simply admired the looks, most of the comments were still discussing the plot.
[Alas, paranoia means that one tends to get stuck in a rut and cannot accept failure]
[When Jingyin helped Yunjue, he probably didn't expect that he would be defeated by such a loser in the future. It's quite sad. But his character is really full of risks. Unless he continues to be successful until he ascends to heaven, once he encounters a setback, the probability that he will become depressed is much higher than that of an ordinary person.]
[It’s a bit sad… The relationship between the brothers seems really good]
Then, the scene changed.
Then came the scene where Yun Jue was complimented by all kinds of people.
Some of those people used to look down on him, and some even bullied him. At this moment, their faces were full of flattery, and they affectionately called him "Junior Brother Yun Jue", just because he became famous in one battle and became the most valued disciple of the master.
Jingyin, who was once so glorious, seemed to have become an abandoned pawn.
[Too real, these little people who curry favor with the powerful]
[To be honest, although what Jingyin did later made me feel no sympathy for him, this is really quite sad, human nature.]
[I don’t know why those marketing accounts of Vision change their expressions faster than turning the pages of a book… When I think back to the incident with Director Hong a few months ago, Jie Xichao was still their main target of ridicule. Now they are enjoying a huge increase in traffic, tsk]
[What about Xie Xichao?] 】
[Here, this actor who plays Jingyin was heavily criticized because he was an idol. Now it seems that he is just following the trend to criticize her.]
The last few sentences are sandwiched among the numerous comments, but they are still very conspicuous. The platform's algorithm is that if many people like a barrage, it will turn into another color.
At this moment, the last barrage with changed color looks extremely eye-catching.
Jie Xi curled the corners of her mouth slightly, with no particularly obvious expression on her face, and continued reading.
He remembered that the next part should be the story of Jingyin being possessed by a demon.
However, before he could see the familiar scene, the number of comments suddenly increased significantly.
His hand paused.
[Coming soon!] 】
[I came here because of her reputation. Is this the scene where the crazy beauty goes crazy?]
[High energy ahead!] Don't be distracted in the next ten minutes! This rivalry scene is truly amazing! 】
With various prompts in the barrage, the plot has entered a critical point.
-
In fact, Jie Xichao is quite familiar with this plot.
This is almost the plot that he has polished the most times, and it is also the most important plot besides Jingyin's death in the end. But when the filming officially started, he and Lu Yong still changed some details.
He felt that Jingyin had not completely fallen here, and apart from his madness, he should still have some rationality in his heart.
This is reflected in the plot when Yun Jue was leaving at the end and he called out to him:
"Junior brother."
What was Jingyin thinking at that moment? It's not reflected in the plot.
But Xie Xichao knew it.
He was thinking about the scene when he first met Yun Jue.
Everything has cause and effect. The causes he planted in the past have led to the results he has today.
You sow good seeds and reap bitter fruits. It wasn’t Yun Jue’s fault, but it was definitely not his fault either.
Xie Xichao watched intently.
He was paying attention to the details of his performance and was very satisfied with the results.
He thought he had acted well, but when he glanced up at the comments, he was really shocked.
He had a hunch after seeing the high energy scene just now that this scene should be the one that would be on the hot search list tonight. But in essence, he still subconsciously regards it as his job as an actor to perform well.
He didn’t expect…
The barrage will be so exciting.
-
However, there were many things that Xie Xichao had not expected.
He didn't know that he had already accumulated countless word-of-mouth before, and he didn't know that tonight's scene completely established Jingyin's character and his own character, and he didn't know that in today's domestic entertainment industry, having good acting skills has become something that is not so common.
That evening, a famous film and television blogger in the domestic entertainment industry posted a Weibo post.
This is a blogger whose style is usually aloof, but this Weibo post is out of character. You can tell at a glance that it is a true outpouring of emotion.
"Oh my god, Xie Xichao's acting is too good... No, I was completely immersed in the show tonight. How did he manage to outshine Dou Fei when acting opposite him?
Is this what you call a traffic vase? ? ? ”
Almost instantly, hundreds of comments appeared below.
"I'm also following 'Xing Xian Ji' hahaha, really... I was shocked tonight"
"Ahhh Jingyin!! I love him so much! To be honest, I'm not interested in idols or singing and dancing at all. I fell in love with him purely because of the role of Jingyin. He is really good-looking, has good acting skills, a good personality and is cute. Ahhh, TP fans, you are so greedy."
"He was really criticized before. It was all because of his predecessors who were idols turned actors. If all idols who changed their careers could reach this level, I would have no problem with it."
"Amazing acting, really. This rivalry is the highest quality I've seen recently among the younger generation. Both of them are very good, and they are truly evenly matched. If Xie Xichao really wants to make a complete transformation in the future, I think he and Dou Fei will both be strong competitors for the grand prize."
——This is just a small part of all the praise.
If the previous scenes only gave everyone a general idea of Jie Xichao's "good acting skills", then tonight's scene full of emotion, skills and dramatic beauty completely made him synonymous with "miracle".
With his fame, few passers-by ask him who he is.
Everyone knows him, but it seems like everyone is meeting him for the first time. Countless people are discussing his performance in the latest episode.
They were amazed and admired.
At this moment, his idol status is no longer a burden to him.
On the contrary, this became another point of amazement for everyone.
"How did you do that?"
This is the common voice of everyone.
How do you manage to be good at singing, dancing and acting?
How do you find time in your busy schedule to do this kind of polishing and performance?
Is it God?
What they didn't know was that at this moment, the center of the discussion had already fallen into a deep sleep. And Yao Xin behind him has already seized this latest opportunity.
The days that followed were something that Jie Xichao’s fans would never dare to imagine in their dreams.
Dreamy days.
*
First there were various discussions and topics about acting.
Yao Xin didn't have any thoughts on this point at all. Because even without their intervention, Xie Xichao has already become a hot topic.
After the plot of being possessed by a demon, Jingyin officially turned evil, and the plot reached a new climax. Jingyin also changed from a gentle and amiable senior brother to an unrecognizable big devil.
So, everyone watched helplessly as the Gaoling Flower, who was as cold as ice and snow in the last second, had her hands stained with blood in the next second.
But his face is still so beautiful and gorgeous that even when people scold him, they will indignantly say "You are such a beauty", and the crazy critics have gone crazy now.
What is extreme? What vicious?
In their eyes, they are all objects of hissing.
The character of Jingyin is destined to have a bloody and violent personality that makes people love and hate him.
Xie Xichao's perfect portrayal of him is destined to make him and his character the target of madness for fans of the character.
His Weibo followers increased dramatically. Every day there is a plot line about Jingyin wailing and his acting skills. Wherever the tap water goes, there is water. His mental state is almost the same as Jingyin in the play.
Besides being a fan, Yao Xin did two things.
The first thing was to send Jie Xichao to a variety show.
This variety show is an exclusive interview. The show itself is not particularly popular, but each episode only invites one actor and gives him 30 minutes to elaborate on his mental journey when interpreting the role.
This program did not consume too much of Jie Xichao's energy, as he left right after recording, but it was the first time that Jie Xichao's understanding of the role as an actor was fully displayed to the audience and fans. Of course, it is also a challenge for actors.
If you have an empty mind, then this kind of pure talk show is a disaster.
But Yaoxin has confidence in Jie Xichao.
As it turned out, their choice was correct.
Xie Xichao's interview was well-received by fans of the original characters, who were deeply moved. This feeling of being moved reached its peak when I read the biography written by Jie Xichao himself.
That evening, the interview was even forwarded by the original author, who thanked him profusely for his passionate performance.
And the second thing...
Yao Xin still went to find the crew of "Xun Xian Ji".
Their demands are simple. When choosing behind-the-scenes footage of Jie Xichao, more footage was released of him filming seriously.
By now, the crew of "Legend of Immortals" has become very familiar with Yao Xin. They readily agreed and offered to buy two and get two free, so that, in addition to the text, the audience witnessed the full picture of the character being performed with their own eyes.
Maybe it's a rare talent, maybe a miracle happens.
These beautiful words can certainly be applied to Jie Xichao.
But from the tidbits, they can see more, in fact, another more simple thing:
That is sincerity.
This idol who has reached the top at a young age is still as humble as a newcomer in another industry. He is neither arrogant nor impatient, but quiet and low-key. He is polite and courteous to his staff, serious and respectful to his director, and focused and serious about acting itself.
All doubts disappeared when I saw the behind-the-scenes footage of him braving the cold and wearing only a single layer of clothing but still joking with the staff.
At this point, Xie Xichao had been in the industry for three years and had experienced his second big success.
This time, as a real actor.
From big explosion to transformation controversy to ridicule and then big explosion again, Xie Xichao's experience in the past few months can be described as dramatic. What no one expected was that this beautiful comeback would have an even more dramatic climax.
On the third day after the broadcast of the drama in which Jingyin was possessed by a demon, director Hong Wuhong came online.
This time when he went online, he still didn't post anything. The people learned from their mistakes and started to browse his Weibo.
Hide Weibo, None.
Like, none.
The melon-eating civet persists, and fortunately, Hong Wu’s Weibo posts don’t change much. Comparing it with the previous screenshots, they quickly discovered the problem.
Hong Wu added a new follow.
Almost at the moment of discovering this, a strange premonition suddenly emerged in everyone's mind.
No way…
Thinking so, they clicked in with trembling hands.
Then, everyone saw this one and only latest follow:
The Phoenix-Jie Xichao.
