Chapter 25 Passion



The plot of Hide and Seek is roughly like this. It is a suspense movie with many very gripping plots. For example, the confrontation between the male protagonist and his classmates is reversed again and again. The girl's death is not smooth sailing either. It is all thanks to the male protagonist's improvisation that he finally achieves his goal.

When the audience is watching, they are afraid that he will not succeed, but they don't want him to succeed, which is very contradictory.

In the whole process, the director and actors are very restrained and did not try to discuss domestic violence, good and evil, and the psychological problems of teenagers.

The male protagonist's monologue is direct and simple, without long-winded self-struggle. But in addition, Director Ding uses the sky that is either gloomy, bright or drowsy to silently explain the male protagonist's mentality.

At the beginning of 2010, the sky was clear, blue and white, and it seemed that nothing had happened. After the classmate disappeared, the storm was about to come, and it was gloomy and gray.

When he murdered the girl he had a crush on, the sun was as red as blood, the sea surface was silently surging, and the extremely beautiful picture was hiding murderous intent and sin.

This coincided with the simple and quiet original text.

When she wrote this story, she was a high school student herself, and she had no deep experience of life and death, good and evil, and had no intention of exploring it.

She just started from the perspective of a teenager and calmly and straightforwardly shaped the role of the male protagonist.

Some book critics thought that it was too shallow for her to write such a story at this age, and the connotation was not deep enough, and even a little indifferent, so they gave it a bad review.

Director Dante chose this story because of this point. There are too many analyses of teenagers by adults, so many that they are boring. Who can say anything about the mental health of teenagers?

Jian Jing is in the middle of it, but she doesn't care. That's why she is different.

Because she is close to the people, she is indifferent and ordinary. Because she is real, she is torn apart.

Facts have proved that this cooperation is quite successful.

Jian Jing's words are straightforward and lack beauty, and the plot is also lacking in suspense, but Director Ding made up for it. Her indifference and purity also gave the movie a kind of restrained and quiet charm.

Of course, Jiang Baiyan's face contributed greatly.

There is a joke on the Internet that the three views follow the five features. If the villain is ugly, you will support the protagonist without any discussion, but if the villain is good-looking... The male protagonist played by Jiang Baiyan is not only the protagonist, but also a villain, and he happens to have an extremely unforgettable face.

At that time, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, thin, with a little baby fat on his cheeks, but his handsome face alone was enough to stand out.

This is a face that can withstand a close-up shot.

When he pushed the girl off the cliff, he hesitated, doubted, and worried, but he had no sense of guilt. So, people suddenly realized that this boy had no respect for life and no sense of reality about killing.

The audience felt sorry for him, fought for him, and hoped that he would regret it, but he himself did not know and did not care.

The people who wrote the story were teenagers, and the people who acted in the story were also teenagers. Director Ding dug out the most exciting moments of the story and the protagonist, and stared at them with a lens that had experienced many ups and downs.

At this point, the feeling of teenagers teetering on the edge of a cliff was vivid and natural.

Jian Jing was deeply shocked.

The novel was sharp but thin, while the movie was gentle but rich.

She could feel the gap between herself and Director Ding better than anyone else. This was a gap of several decades in life and a huge gap in artistic creation.

No wonder the original work was controversial, but the movie won an award.

She was sincerely convinced, and when the lights came on, she stood up and applauded with the crowd, giving her own applause to the creators.

The leading actors came on stage one by one, and Director Ding stood in the middle and began to give a speech of thanks.

Liu Baofeng turned around and said to Jian Jing, "It's a good story."

Jian Jing responded quickly, "Yes, I think so too. Even if the person who did something wrong can escape for a while, he will eventually pay the price for it."

"Some prices are worth it. If the younger brother didn't die, maybe the older brother would have died." Liu Baofeng was very calm and smiled, "He at least bought himself ten years."

Jian Jing pursed her lips.

Director Ding's thank-you speech was rhythmic and aroused applause from the audience. They also followed the crowd and applauded and smiled, but their minds were not on the stage.

"Why?" Jian Jing asked, she knew that Liu Baofeng understood what she meant.

"You are the author, so you know why. What do I know? Miss Jian, I know nothing." Liu Baofeng smiled, unmoved by the wind, and the clouds were clear and the wind was light. Jian

Jing suddenly felt a deep chill.

She remembered the system's mission description, escaping before the villa released the deadly gas, did it mean that everyone at that time might be buried with President Qin?

"It's a wonderful movie." Liu Baofeng took advantage of the crowd to walk to Jian Jing and said softly, "See you next time, Miss Jian, you are welcome to visit Yuhui Villa anytime."

At this time, someone on the stage said something, and the whole audience stood up and applauded. Liu Baofeng took this opportunity to leave the stage.

The lights turned on, and the leading actors left one after another.

Jian Jing was hesitating whether to chase after him, but Kang Mucheng found her first: "Jingjing, follow me." He waved to her, indicating to go to the backstage.

There was no point in following him, so Jian Jing simply gave up and followed Kang Mucheng.

After passing through the small door, there was a lounge next to it, and the main creators were all there. Writer Xu was the first to see them, and he raised his hand and called out to the side: "Bai Yan, aren't you..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a person quickly flash in front of Jian Jing, handed over a book and a pen, and greeted warmly: "Teacher Jingjing, I'm your fan, can you sign for me?"

Jian Jing: "...Ah, yes."

It's not her fault that she reacted slowly, because the enthusiastic fan who rushed over was none other than the main actor of Hide and Seek, Jiang Baiyan, who was so beautiful that she didn't look like a real person.

He frowned, looking at her eagerly and eagerly. With such an attitude, if he is not a drama queen who loves to act at any time, he can only be a loyal reader who really likes her.

Jian Jing picked up the pen and signed her name on the title page he opened.

"Thank you, Teacher Jingjing." Jiang Baiyan put away the transparent cover of "The Child Playing Hide and Seek", took out the brand new "The Devil Doctor" underneath, and smiled obediently, "There is another one."

She couldn't help laughing: "Thank you."

"I like the story of hide and seek very much," Jiang Baiyan said, paused slightly, and asked expectantly and shyly, "Well, does Teacher Jingjing like my performance?"

Jian Jing quickly praised: "Of course, it's great."

"Huh," Jiang Baiyan let out a sigh of relief, a little exaggerated: "Then I'm relieved."

Jian Jing was amused by him. She was not a person who liked to make friends, but she felt that there was no obstacle to chatting with the other party: "I signed an autograph for you, do you want to take a photo with me too?"

"Can I?" Jiang Baiyan looked flattered, walked to her side attentively, and half squatted down, "Sister Chen, please help us take photos."

His agent quickly took out his mobile phone and found various angles to help them take photos.

Jian Jing had experience and was not afraid of the camera, but she was not very calm either, she could only smile. However, Jiang Baiyan was experienced, and he made a heart shape with her and raised his ears, and he had mastered the skills of posing.

Under his leadership, more than a dozen photos were taken in a short time.

"Teacher Jingjing, please add me on WeChat." Jiang Baiyan handed over his phone, "I'll send you the photo. Will you post on Weibo? I'll post one too."

Sister Chen: "Ah!"

"Don't worry, Sister Chen, I'll definitely Photoshop it before posting." Jiang Baiyan said with a smile, and skillfully approved Jian Jing's WeChat application, and then (actually not) whispered, "Sister Chen is always afraid that I will post a bad photo myself. Really, I look like this, even without makeup, it's fine."

Jian Jing lowered her head and looked at the photo carefully, and agreed with him.

Sister Chen wanted to say something, but Jiang Baiyan glanced at her, and she reluctantly remained silent.

"Teacher Jingjing." Jiang Baiyan handed her a glass of champagne and said in a low voice, "The director over there is a friend of screenwriter Xu, Director Huang. He has made many crime movies and wants to try making TV series recently."

Jian Jing immediately understood that this was the director Kang Mucheng had been talking to for "Devil Doctor".

"Director Huang made a movie before and also bought the copyright of the novel," Jiang Baiyan winked and hinted at her, "The cooperation between the two parties was not very pleasant, so he might be a little worried."

Jian Jing suddenly realized and was about to say something, but Kang Mucheng over there had already waved her over. The tall and thin man standing next to him was Director Huang that Jiang Baiyan reminded her of.

"I'll go say hello to Director Huang, too." Jiang Baiyan answered before Jian Jing could speak and took her over to greet him. "Director Huang, long time no see. I've been waiting for your movie so long that my eyes are red. When will the good fortune come to me?"

His compliment made Director Huang smile faintly. He glanced at Jian Jing and went straight to the point: "I'm negotiating a copyright. If it's negotiated, maybe you can get a role."

Jiang Baiyan made a "wow, that's great" expression.

Kang Mucheng looked at him, then turned to Jian Jing: "This is Director Huang, he wants to talk to you about "The Devil Doctor."

"Okay." Jian Jing turned to face Director Huang and asked, "What can I do?"

Director Huang pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Old Xu told me that "The Devil Doctor" is suitable for being made into a series. I want to know your subsequent writing plan. This is related to our specific cooperation."

Jian Jing understood what he meant.

If Director Huang bought "The Devil Doctor", according to screenwriter Xu, he did not intend to make it into a long TV series of dozens of episodes, but to make it like an American drama, with about ten episodes per season.

If she does not plan to write it into a series, she will need original works later. If there is a sequel, how should they cooperate?

And this problem is exactly the most difficult for Jian Jing.

The past belongs to "Simple and Quiet", and the future belongs to her.

White cats, hide-and-seek, and the devil, all the success and honor belong to the former, and she herself is still hesitant in her heart as to whether she can get the same recognition.

If she continues to write "The Devil Doctor", let alone whether it will be successful, it is still unknown whether she can write it.

She didn't answer for a long time, and Director Huang frowned.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I think we should make an appointment for a quiet place tomorrow, and everyone can sit down and talk slowly." Kang Mucheng came to the rescue in time.

Jiang Baiyan also said: "Yes, Director Ding said he would treat us tonight, and we can't let him go."

Director Huang probably felt that he asked too suddenly and didn't get to the bottom of it.

Director Ding just said that he had booked a table at the hotel and would treat everyone to a late-night snack. Everyone stopped talking about the topic and joined the army of freeloaders.

Kang Mucheng did not bother with Director Huang and instead started chatting with the media. I think Jian Jing's name will be mentioned in tomorrow's reports.

The hotel they booked was a little far from the cinema, so everyone drove separately.

Jian Jing saw that Kang Mucheng was chatting with someone, so she prepared to drive herself. At this time, Jiang Baiyan came over with a smile and put his hands together: "Teacher Jingjing, can I take your car?"

This request was a bit abrupt, but no one would refuse his request, and Jian Jing said the same: "Sure."

"That's great." Jiang Baiyan said to Sister Chen, "Buy some midnight snacks for the fans, and say I can't go over because of something, and give them a few movie tickets."

Sister Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "Then be careful not to get photographed."

"Safe." Jiang Baiyan raised his hand handsomely and put on a trendy duckbill cap to cover his handsome face tightly. "Hurry up, hurry up, there will be no food if you go too late." Sister Chen

had already left, and when she heard this, she stopped and said, "Don't eat too much!"

"I'll only eat three bites." Jiang Baiyan swore.
