Chapter 16 smooth
Although I once said to Li Yue that I have returned all the things I have learned to the teacher, so it is useless.But in fact, the knowledge learned in one of the world's top institutions of higher learning and the learning ability cultivated for learning them have not completely disappeared, but are stored in the depths of memory, and when needed, they will slowly rise to the top with the sense of familiarity. The surface of the cerebral cortex is always at your disposal.
With such knowledge, Chen Zhijing, although he spent a whole week at the Bailang Beach Resort in Bali before sorting out all the affairs, became more and more proficient in the following inspections, checking the hotel's current accounts and reviewing personnel changes. No more strenuous work, on average, it takes up to four days for a hotel to depart for the next one.
Such high-efficiency work will naturally squeeze out the time for leisure and entertainment.Except for going to the GAY bar in Bali on the first day, during the rest of the tour, Chen Zhijing mostly wandered around the hotel, enjoying the sea breeze, strolling in the woods, swimming in the swimming pool for a few laps, and sweating in the gym. It can be described as extremely healthy and positive.Even the fat that had been bred from being forced to rest for the past two months has disappeared in the past one month, and the figure has returned to its peak state. As long as the flesh is exposed, a bunch of small notes can be harvested.
Seeing that the inspection tour was about to end, Chen Zhijing breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also full of energy. He felt that the fighting spirit accumulated for more than a month was about to burst out, and he could not wait to go to the ring for a peak duel.
Just as he was humming a ditty and packing his luggage, Chen Zhimin suddenly called.After connecting, the head of the Bai family had a bit of guilt in his tone, and said to Chen Zhijing amidst the noisy background of his sons and daughters: "Zhijing, can you help me take a trip to Japan?"
Chen Zhijing frowned: "Japan? It's possible, but what happened?"
Chen Zhimin sighed, and his tone was full of helplessness: "Assistant Manager Liu, who is in charge of East Asia, ate unclean food outside, got food poisoning, and is still lying in the hospital. He has finished patrolling hotels in China and South Korea, but He only went to Osaka in Japan, and he hasn’t been to places like Kyoto and Tokyo. I read the report, except you, the rest of the people have not completed the itinerary. In terms of distance, you are also the closest, so I can only trouble you .”
"...Hey, it's okay, just send me the list, and I'll set off right away." Although Chen Zhijing had something he wanted to do right away, Chen Zhijing couldn't embarrass his brother, so he could only press down on that momentum. , pretending to be relaxed in his mouth.
So, at [-] o'clock in the morning the next day, Chen Zhijing flew from Jakarta, Indonesia to Tokyo, Japan, and stood at Haneda Airport with sleepy eyes in a daze.
A few minutes later, he took a long breath, reached out to stop a taxi, and said to the driver in English: [Tokyo Shinjuku White Night Hotel, thank you. ]
***
[Card!Si Jun, that expression just now is really great! ] Hitomi Hongo came out from behind the monitor with excitement, and praised Sinian who was wearing a waiter's uniform with blushing cheeks.
In this underground bar located in Shinjuku [-]-chome, the same-sex movie "They" written and directed by Hitomi Hongo is under intense shooting, and Si Nian plays a Chinese working in a bar in the movie.
"They" uses Si Nian's foreigner's process of searching for, discovering, and identifying himself as clues, connecting the emotional experiences of three same-sex couples in series. Describes the process of a person's growth.The film shows the unique sensitivity of female directors everywhere, combining the pain and confusion of self-cognition with different stages of love, and portraying it as a beautiful and weeping Ukiyo-e.
As a spectator who connects the past and connects the plot, although Si Nian has more roles than the other six leading actors, the main drama conflicts are not on him, and because of the role setting, most of the emotional expressions are expressed by subtle expressions and eyes. Complete, the difficulty can be imagined.
When accepting the play, due to language problems and the unfinished script, Hua Shuyi had no idea that Si Nian was being given such a difficult script.When she got the script, she couldn't read Japanese, and she misplaced the emphasis on the "bystanders who connected the plot" in the summary of the film narrated by the translator. The character is there, but the role of the scene is too light, I am afraid it will not have any effect.
After following the crew for a few days, Hua Shuyi was shocked.Firstly, I was surprised that this drama has such high requirements for acting skills, and the supporting actors of Si Nian are all from the Japanese entertainment industry, and they all carry awards on their backs; The struggling Si Nian actually performed so well this time!
Not only did the director become a fan girl within two days, but the Japanese actor who is famous for his reserved and xenophobic attitude towards Si Nian also made a 180-degree turn. From time to time, he could hear "Si Jun", "Si Sang", "Nian Jiang" and the like The appellation of "" came and went one after another on the set.
Because she was not only in charge of Si Nian, an artist, even though she was confused, Hua Shuyi returned to China within a few days.However, for more than a month, she still often learned about Si Nian's situation through Yuan Jiang and other assistants.When she learned that Si Nian's filming was going well and she was loved by the director, she became more and more uneasy, and finally went to Japan when it was about to wrap up, and stayed on the set every day, frowning more and more tightly.
Seeing Si Nian being praised by Hongo Tong who was so happy, Hua Shuyi's thoughts drifted back to five years ago.
That year, Si Nian won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for his martial arts film "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes". Director Lin Changquan even won the Oscar for Best Director for this film; This has confirmed his status as a super first-line star in Huaguo's show business circle.
But just before all this happened, Si Nian experienced the worst breakup in his life, and since then, he has been single until now.At the same time, because of the similarities between that emotional experience and the experience of the hero of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes", Si Nian resonated with the hero Sang Bai of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes", and it can be said that he played this role in his true colors.
With this sincere acting skills, Si Nian won the Golden Horse Award that year and stood at the top of the pyramid of Huaguo entertainment circle.So this time, why did Si Nian resonate with this character and contribute a real performance that is not acting?
Staring at Si Nian, who was listening carefully to Benxiang Tong's play, Hua Shuyi asked, "Is there something you are hiding from me?"
Yuan Jiang who was standing beside her was startled, and said haha: "Hahaha, sister Hua, you really like to joke, what can I hide from you?"
"You didn't, so you're helping Si Nian hide it?" Hua Shuyi said, casting a glance at Yuan Jiang out of the corner of her eye.
Yuan Jiang was shocked: "Wow, what! Isn't Si Nian doing well? The filming went very smoothly. Look at the director, his face is almost bursting with laughter!"
"No, isn't it?" Hua Shuyi nodded, looking at Sinian who had a submissive face in the venue, "I hope everything goes well as you said."
A day later, Hua Shuyi's words became a prophecy.Sinian, who has been going smoothly since the filming started, was stuck by Hitomi Hongo in the last scene for three full days.
In this last scene, Si Nian's character quits his job as a waiter after a night of hard work, and slowly walks away in the morning sun.
In a very simple scene, after filming Si Nian, he could wrap up and return to China, but no matter how he acted, he didn't have the feeling of performing what Hitomi Hongo wanted.
[Card.Si Jun, it’s not like this. It doesn’t matter whether you smile or not. What I want is a feeling of new life, a feeling of hope for the future. ]
[Full of hope...] Si Nian read in a low voice, with an indescribable blankness in his tone.
Hitomi Hongo looked up at the sky, the sun was already half-hanging in the sky at this time, the orange-red warm light she needed had disappeared, leaving only the white heat.Realizing that she could no longer continue filming at this time, the female director patted Si Nian's arm regretfully, and said gently:
[Sijun, let's continue tomorrow.You can try to recall the good memories of the past and find the feeling, okay? ]
Si Nian nodded apologetically, bowed ninety degrees to Hongo Tong and the crew, and apologized: [I'm really sorry for delaying everyone's progress. ]
Amidst the farewell sounds of "It's okay", "Sisang, please rest well", and "See you tomorrow, Nianjiang", Si Nian, Hua Shuyi and others boarded the RV and returned to the hotel in Tokyo arranged for them by the crew - Tokyo Shinjuku White Nights Hotel.
On the way, Hua Shuyi has been studying the script in her hand.It is still in Japanese, but there are many colorful sticky notes pasted on it, all written by Si Nian while studying the script.Because of her habit, the sticky notes were all in Chinese. Although it was a drop in the bucket, Hua Shuyi could use them to get a general idea of what kind of movie it was.
And she was so ruined that her intestines were green!
Originally, I thought that Hitomi Hongo was a famous director and that it was a literary film. Although I didn't see the script, I could predict that the quality of the film would definitely not be low based on the themes of the director's previous films.And this is also a great opportunity, to be on the international stage, no matter from any aspect, a literary film is much more compelling than a guest star in a Hollywood blockbuster, let alone the protagonist.
Who knew the plot was like this!It's no wonder that Si Nian's performance is penetrating, doesn't it completely fit the mental journey of the movie's leading actor?
The confusion and loneliness that seep out between the lines are simply the portrayal of Si Nian's life!Add to that his recent sexual awakening...it couldn't be worse!
Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to regret it, I have to find a way to help Si Nian pass this level.
Turning to the last page of the script, Hua Shuyi looked at the word "Hope?" on the sticky note of the new post, and was deeply hurt by the question mark.
After arriving at the hotel, a group of people hurried through the lobby and walked into the elevator. Everyone was preoccupied, and no one noticed Chen Zhijing who was standing in front of the front desk with his luggage in his hands with a surprised expression on his face.
Wait, that's not it!Chen Zhijing turned his head and said to the front desk lady who was checking him out: [Show me the registration list. ]
After four days of review, everyone in the hotel knew that the person in front of him was an imperial envoy sent by the group headquarters to inspect, and no one dared to say no to him.So in the next second, Chen Zhijing found the room number where Si Nian lived on the computer screen.
Looking at those four numbers, Chen Zhijing slowly showed a sinister smile on his face.
