Chapter 1239 1339. The bird leaping towards hope

Nie Wei wrote the script of the MV in just half a day. The content was ready. All Nie Wei needed to do was to connect the bullying content with a story line.

It didn't need to be complicated. It was enough for the story to be reasonable. After all, the focus of the MV was still on school bullying.

In addition, Nie Wei asked the technology department of Fanxing Weibo to pick out some news reports about school bullying from Weibo, and prepared to use these things that had happened in reality as the beginning of the MV to impress the conscience of society with the power of reality.

The technology department provided big data for this part of the content, and Nie Wei had to select it himself.

Just as he was watching these shocking news and thinking about which ones were suitable for the opening, Shu Chang came out of the study with two cups of hot tea.

"Have you finished the script?" Shu Chang asked Nie Wei while he was watching the news.

"Just finished." Nie Wei took the teacup and took a sip. It was a good Tieguanyin.

"Your tea-making skills are getting better and better." Nie Wei praised. Although Shu Chang only used a simple way to make tea, both the water temperature and the amount of tea were just right.

Shu Chang walked behind Nie Wei, bent down and put his arms around Nie Wei's neck, and said intimately in his ear: "Isn't this because of your teaching as a tea expert?"

"Let me see the script." Shu Chang asked coquettishly.

"Of course." Nie Wei smiled and opened the written script, and Shu Chang moved a chair and sat next to Nie Wei to read it carefully.

The story line of the script is not complicated. At the beginning, a girl was born in a hospital, and the whole family was overjoyed. Then the doctor told the family about the girl's condition, but the family did not dislike her because of the girl's illness. Instead, they invested more care in her.

The girl grew up day by day, and grew up healthily and happily under the care of her family. It was not until she started school that her life began to change.

She had been under the protection of her family before, and she didn't think she was any different from others, but when she really integrated into the collective life, she realized her specialness.

Classmates welcomed her at first, but were shocked that she couldn't speak, and then isolated her and gave her bad nicknames. She gradually became withdrawn. She stopped smiling, avoided people when walking, and cried secretly in the middle of the night.

As she grew up, this situation did not get better. Even if someone showed kindness to her, she was afraid to escape, and her classmates did not stop bullying her, from verbal sarcasm at the beginning, to pranks later, to beatings, scolding, threats, etc.

Her parents tried to change schools for her, but she was withdrawn and never made friends. The bullying was not stopped. On the contrary, because of the long-term change of schools, she had fewer and fewer friends, until she had no one at the end.

There were obviously dozens of people in the class, but she went to school, went home, and participated in activities alone every day, which made her look particularly lonely.

Until one day when she stepped into the classroom, dirty water was poured on her head, and the whole class was laughing. When the teacher appeared, he only scolded the whole class a few words, and looked at the girl with disgust.

The girl ran away crying amid the teacher's anger and the classmates' laughter.

The last scene was that she came to the rooftop of a building near her home, sobbing and standing by the wall, watching a group of people holding their phones and shouting loudly.

The girl was tearful, murmured goodbye, and jumped down...

"How is it?" Nie Wei asked after watching Shu Chang finish reading the script.

"It feels very routine." Shu Chang commented sincerely. Nie Wei smiled and explained: "Routine wins people's hearts. We are not going to make a literary film with connotation and ideas. We just want to make the point of school bullying clear. It is enough because it is routine that it is easier for the audience to remember it."

Shu Chang nodded, expressing his understanding. Some directors like to make movies very complicated, and finally they mess up themselves. But sometimes the audience is more likely to accept simple and easy-to-understand content, such as those Hollywood blockbusters. In fact, many models are the same, but as long as the creativity is good, it can still attract fans to the theater and create great box office.

"How about I play a role? I think this bully big sister is very suitable for me." Shu Chang suddenly said.

Nie Wei was slightly surprised, then understood something, and asked with a smile: "Want to act?"

"Okay." Shu Chang answered involuntarily.

If she had not guest-starred in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" before, it would be fine, but the guest-starring experience in the crew of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" for half a day really aroused her acting addiction. After all, she is an actor herself, and an actor who has started her acting career since she was a child. Her love for acting has never retreated.

But for Nie Wei, she was willing to retire.

Nie Wei held Shu Chang's hand and suddenly said: "Didn't the company sign Hu Ge a while ago?"

"What's wrong?" Shu Chang asked in confusion. She didn't understand why Nie Wei suddenly mentioned Hu Ge.

Nie Wei smiled and continued, "The company signed Hu Ge because of a play about anti-corruption. Now the play has begun preparations. I think you can give it a try. I think there is a role in it that you can challenge."

"The protagonist?" Seeing Nie Wei nod, Shu Chang waved his hands again and again to refuse: "No, I can't act now."

"Who said you can't act? Didn't you act Guo Xiang very well before? You have been an actor for nearly 20 years. Some things have been engraved into your bones and you will never forget them. As long as you are willing, you can definitely act well." Nie Wei said very seriously.

"But, if I act again, people will gossip about me." Shu Chang was moved by Nie Wei's words, but he was a little hesitant.

Nie Wei understood it immediately, and felt helpless and moved.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, this time you come back and you can transform. If you think that playing a young actress will be gossiped about, then let's focus on the big actress in the future."

Shu Chang's consideration for Nie Wei is clear. Acting, especially playing the leading role, can't avoid intimate scenes. If every kissing scene between the male and female protagonists in the current TV series is unacceptable, this is still restrained, and there are more exaggerated ones.

This is also the reason why many actresses gradually reduce their performances after getting married. Outsiders will definitely mind. Even if their husbands are in the same industry, they will definitely feel uncomfortable. There are feelings and public opinion. This is really not something that can be explained by professional ethics.

This is actually the same for male actors, but the tolerance of society towards gender issues is different, and male actors are under less pressure than female actors.

Shu Chang retired, mostly because she was afraid that her filming would affect Nie Wei's reputation, and she was also afraid that Nie Wei would mind.

Now Nie Wei suddenly suggested that Shu Chang transform into a big Qingyi, which made Shu Chang's eyes light up.

At present, the heroines of mainstream TV series are basically Huadan, which is why the media always evaluates some four small Huadan to describe popular actors, because Huadan is a type of innocent and cheerful girl, which also meets the needs of most domestic TV heroines.

Compared with Huadan, Qingyi is different. Qingyi is also called Zhengdan. You can tell from the name that this is a serious, dignified and steady role. In TV series, it is the type of good wife and mother.

With Shu Chang's current appearance and age, it's a pity to switch to Qingyi.

Everyone in the circle knows that Huadan attracts popularity and is easy to shine. Most of the emotional lines in the drama are set up for Huadan, and all kinds of sweet moments are basically prepared for Huadan.

But Qingyi is different. Not only does it have stricter considerations on acting skills, but there are not many likable roles themselves. After all, there are restrictions there. People like to see humorous or beautiful and cute roles. Serious roles will naturally lose a lot of color.

In one sentence, Qingyi belongs to the type of role that is difficult and may not be pleasing.

But Shu Chang doesn't care. She doesn't act for popularity.

Other actresses must be jealous of this. Everyone wants to maintain their time as Huadan, but who let Shu Chang find a good husband?

With Nie Wei, Shu Chang doesn't need to care about popularity at all, let alone worry about not having a suitable role. Moreover, after the transformation to Qingyi, she can concentrate on studying acting.

So when Nie Wei said that, Shu Chang thought about it carefully and was immediately moved.

"What role is it in the anti-corruption drama you mentioned?" Shu Chang asked curiously.

"I think there are two roles you can try, one is a prosecutor, and the other is a female boss of a local company. The latter is a villain. I think the performance has more tension. Of course, the role of a female prosecutor is also very good. I suggest you read the novel first and then make a decision."

"Where is the novel?" Shu Chang just asked and slapped his forehead: "I remember, it's at the head of the bed. I'm going to read the novel."

After saying that, Shu Chang ran out of the study without waiting for Nie Wei to respond.

Seeing Shu's impatient look, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing.

After the script was written, Nie Wei checked it twice and passed it to Zheng Shuang. It was also very convenient to form an MV crew. Huayi was full of talents. It only took two hours to find all the people, and the official shooting began the next morning.

Shu Chang did not come along. She was still reading a novel at home, and it was obvious that she was more interested in the role of the villain Gao Xiaoqin. In her words, she had never played such a pure villain role in all her years as an actor, and she really wanted to challenge herself.

Nie Wei let her choose. Anyway, with Shu Chang's ability, any role was not difficult for her.

The filming process went smoothly at the beginning. Zheng Shuang had been bullied before, and although the content in the script was not necessarily completely consistent, her mentality when facing bullying was similar at that time. She had a deep sense of substitution for the role, so she naturally acted with ease.

Except for a few young actors who had some problems with clarity, the others did not delay much work, and basically passed within three times.

But when it came to the last shot of falling from the building, Nie Wei shot it repeatedly for no less than ten times, but he was still not satisfied.

"Director Nie, take a break." Zheng Shuang couldn't hold on after being called CUT again, and raised her hand to ask for a break.

An actor's emotions are limited. It doesn't mean that they can burst out infinitely. That is not allowed by emotions and physical strength. Zheng Shuang shot this scene ten times. Although there is no action, just a desperate expression requires her to devote herself to it to try to be perfect.

Nie Wei understood very well, so he signaled Zheng Shuang to take a break.

"Help me get another bottle of water." Zheng Shuang said hurriedly after taking the water handed over by the assistant. When the assistant heard it, he quickly took out a bottle of ice water from the incubator he carried with him and gave it to Zheng Shuang.

Holding two bottles of ice water, Zheng Shuang came to Nie Wei's side.

Nie Wei was looking at the camera repeatedly, looking for something that felt wrong, when she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck.

"Hee hee." Zheng Shuang's laughter of successful mischief rang in her ears. Nie Wei also smiled helplessly and took the ice water handed over by Zheng Shuang.

"I feel like my first performance was the best." Zheng Shuang sat next to Nie Wei and watched the video several times with her before commenting.

"The first time is the best, but it still doesn't feel right. But what is wrong?" Nie Wei looked into the camera. Zheng Shuang's eyes were full of despair. This was a very good look, treating the mission to the world. His despair is vividly displayed with his eyes.

But Nie Wei just felt uncomfortable with this almost perfect look of despair.

"Besides despair, what other emotions do you think a person would have before jumping off a building?" Nie Wei suddenly asked.

"Relief?" Zheng Shuang thought for a while and replied.

"Relief?" Nie Wei rubbed the beard on his chin and thought deeply. After about five minutes, Zheng Shuang could hardly sit still. Nie Wei suddenly jumped up from the chair and shouted: "I know Yes, I know!"

"What's wrong?" Zheng Shuang was startled, but after seeing Nie Wei's reaction, she immediately realized that Nie Wei had found the reason.

Turning around, Nie Wei grabbed Zheng Shuang's shoulders and said seriously: "It's not despair, it shouldn't be despair. Try to act this scene with hope in your eyes."

"Hope!?" Zheng Shuang was stunned. At this moment, she really felt that Nie Wei was crazy.

A person who is about to jump off a building has hopeful eyes. What the hell is going on?

Nie Wei didn't pay attention to Zheng Shuang's strange look and explained: "Yes, it is hope. When a girl despairs of the world, doesn't she just jump with the hope of liberation? She hopes to be relieved, she hopes this The jump will free her from worries and pain, which is all she hopes for.”

Zheng Shuang's eyes widened, and her heart was shaking. Nie Wei's words sounded absurd to normal people. A person with hope would commit suicide? But for some reason, after Nie Wei explained, she felt from the bottom of her heart that this was possible.

"Don't think too much, just act as I say." Nie Wei said.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Zheng Shuang kept thinking about Nie Wei's words in her heart, gradually bringing herself into the identity of a girl.

Soon, Zheng Shuang on the set was in tears, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes revealed hope.

That smile and eyes seemed to be yearning for a new life. When she said the words "goodbye", it was like saying goodbye to the bad self of the past.

The next second, the girl jumped up, turned into a bird, and said goodbye to yesterday.

In the picture captured by the camera, the girl's face has become blurred under the sunlight, but the leaping figure has become more and more obvious. Facing the sun, it really seems to be flying towards hope.

"Passed!" Nie Wei showed a satisfied smile and ended the shooting of this MV.
