Chapter 1170 "You Don't Believe in God?"

Among them, only the fans of the supporting characters in the original work sighed helplessly in the corner, saying that it was a pity that the Song Zhao they had been thinking about so much was gone.

In the original novel of "Heart and Shadow Link", Song Zhao was one of the strong opponents of the movie emperor Liao Jingchen.

In the original novel, the movie emperor Liao Jingchen discovered that his father Liao Hongjing paved the way for him behind the scenes and manipulated everything about him a few years after his debut. He was hit hard and self-doubted. Facing the trophies in the display cabinet at home, he couldn't tell whether it was his actual achievement or his father's behind-the-scenes operation.

After repeated struggles and repeated failures, Liao Jingchen finally had to accept reality and reluctantly put on a fake mask to play the most commercially valuable and gentle gentleman in the entertainment industry, and be the most perfect youngest son who would not bring shame to the Liao family.

If he hadn't met Jiang Rong, Liao Jingchen might have followed this hypocritical path until the end of his life.

The encounter in the "other world" changed this man. Rongrong's almost unreasonable kindness opened his heart and ignited a little spark in his dead heart again.

Liao Jingchen wanted to act seriously again, not to obey the wishes of his family and go to whichever crew he was called like a puppet, but to act in the plays he wanted to act, express what he wanted to express, and devote himself to the performing arts and culture he loved.

A famous director in the circle wrote a very risky script.

It was an art film that would never be a hit, without any commercial value, but the core was profound. Liao Jingchen was deeply attracted by it when he first saw the synopsis.

The protagonist of the movie is a disabled person. Congenital cerebral palsy took away his control over his body. He was paralyzed since childhood and had no ability to move or speak. The only thing that was as flexible as a normal person was his right foot. *

The protagonist suffered discrimination because of this, and even his biological father almost gave up on him. However, under the care of his mother and brothers and sisters, the protagonist did not lose hope or despair because of his defect. Instead, he exuded an extremely determined light. He could only move one foot, so he used it to write and paint. The small attic witnessed the protagonist's hard practice day after day. When he clamped the chalk between his toes and rubbed it ugly on the floor, and finally wrote a complete line of "Happy Birthday, Mom, I love you", the whole family was moved. His father even proudly picked him up with tears in his eyes, apologized to him loudly and shouted: "My son is a genius!"

In this way, the protagonist grew up with the love and support of his family. His excellent IQ and beauty quotient gradually revealed themselves. He became a painter, but on the way to pursue his dream, he was used as a gimmick by profit-seeking businessmen for his disability. On the day of the exhibition, many people were curious about him rather than his paintings. He was surrounded by people sitting in a wheelchair like a rare animal, which made him deeply stimulated and went crazy on the spot.

The heroine appeared in his life at this moment. She is a deaf person and one-eyed blind. Her world is silent and incomplete, but the male protagonist's paintings are bright and colorful, like the embodiment of hope and love, which gave her great spiritual support during her treatment. She is very grateful to the painter and has been keeping in touch with him through letters. If nothing unexpected happened on the day of the exhibition, she would have secretly come to the exhibition hall to express her gratitude to him in person.

The script ends here.

Due to the unwritten rules in the industry, even the movie emperor Liao Jingchen can only glimpse half of the story.

He likes this movie, admires the disabled and strong-willed male protagonist, and is looking forward to the development of the plot and the ending of the film.

But with such a script, you don't have to think about how much hardship he will suffer during the filming.

Liao Jingchen tried to tell the agent arranged by his family that he wanted to play this role, but the agent certainly did not agree. "My good master, do you know how many endorsements you have from head to toe? It's a great loss if you get a little skin scratched!" The agent pleaded in panic, but his pleading was indescribably tough.

Liao Jingchen wanted to smile bitterly or get angry, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into the euphemisms he was best at - forced to be good at:

"Professionalism is my personality, Xiao Zhou, who am I? I am the most classic beautiful, strong and miserable actor in the circle, Liao Jingchen. It has been a long time since I last starred in an art film, and it is just right to make a movie at this time to consolidate my fans."

It's all bullshit. Liao Jingchen was cursing under his gentle face. He didn't want to interpret it from this angle at all, but they only listened to this.

"Okay, then I'll try."

The agent surnamed Zhou hesitated and let go, "But young master, it is said that Song Zhao is also eyeing this film. We are really in a thankless situation."

Liao Jingchen smiled instead.

"I was just thinking of defeating him once." He said softly.

Song Zhao has been a runner-up for the actor award for many years and has been praised by the media as "the most unlucky and powerful actor", and every time the actor trophy was taken away from him, Liao Jingchen was the one eight out of ten times.

Once upon a time, Liao Jingchen sincerely believed that his acting skills were better than Song Zhao's, and that his efforts were more recognized by the jury than Song Zhao's.

But after learning that his father was firmly behind the scenes controlling the chess game, all his previous arrogance became a slap in his face.

If Liao Hongjing hadn't taken action, would all those trophies belong to Song Zhao?

Liao Jingchen was upset.

His agent didn't understand why he cared about this, as he had already beaten Song Zhao so many times, and this one wouldn't matter.

Only Liao Jingchen knew that this was different.

In the original novel of "Heart and Shadow Link", the acting duel between Liao Jingchen and Song Zhao was a must-see, and at the same time, the branch line between Song Zhao and Jiang Rong also made book fans angry and itchy.

In terms of plot, Song Zhao is an important supporting actor; in terms of emotional scenes, this guy walks between Liao Jingchen and Jiang Rong, bringing the image of a bad prodigal son to the extreme. Song Zhao didn't love Jiang Rong, he just had an obsession in his heart and wanted to take away what belonged to Liao Jingchen, but he would never have thought that there was such a fantasy space as the "inner world", and Chen Rong had their own little world. Only they understand each other's true nature.

When Liao Jingchen was arranged by his family to have a relationship with another actress, Song Zhao took the opportunity to attack Jiang Rong, but Jiang Rong never gave him a look from the beginning to the end. She identified Jingchen and only wanted him from then on. Song Zhao, who mistakenly thought that the powerful Jiang Rong was eating a gentle little milk dog, failed repeatedly with green tea. He thought he was good at reading people's hearts and was caught between his true soul mates. Every time he tried to guess the radio waves between Chen Rong and Rong, he could not understand them all. If you deviate, you will be automatically excluded by the two-person barrier.

This part of the plot can be said to be an indispensable funny part in the later stage of the original work, which is both embarrassing and enjoyable to watch.

"What's the point of watching the drama adaptation of "Shadow Link" if you can't see Chen Rong teaming up to beat Song Zhao!!!"

This is a cry from Song Zhao fans.

At first glance, he is a fan.

In the original work, Liao Jingchen lost his memory due to his suicide in the "other world" and became Liao Hongjing's 100% puppet. Song Zhao was finally not suppressed by the Liao family and was able to star in the literary film in which the protagonist was a disabled person.

However, what I didn't expect is that over the years, he has been obsessed with overturning unspoken rules and defeating Liao Jingchen. Instead, he has lost his original love for acting, and his acting skills have become more and more crafty and soulless. In the end, the Best Actor winner at that awards ceremony was not Liao Jingchen, but Song Zhao still ran with him.

The facts seem to confirm something.

After the ceremony, Song Zhao stayed alone in the dark hotel room and was silent for a long time. Then he called Jiang Rong, who had transformed into a gentle and strong man, and was resolutely and desperately trying to pull Liao Jingchen back from the quagmire:

"Don't you want the old Liao Jingchen to come back? This time I have no conditions. Tell me what you want me to do."

The "villain" male lead turned into a positive role. Song Zhao, who was still exploiting every opportunity to "steal" Jiang Rong, became the queen's younger brother. In the end, he competed with Liao Jingchen in an audition in an upright manner, and was convinced and willing to lose. He acted as a mean-spirited emcee at their wedding, and was bullied miserably by the two of them when they failed in their wedding. He was a special friend in the industry that Liao Jingchen and Jiang Rong would laugh about on talk shows many years later. .

It is a pity that the drama version of "Shadow Link" so far does not seem to be planning to let this popular supporting character appear. Song Zhao is suspected to be split into two people, one is Jiang Rong's senior Wu Xingyang, and the other is Liao Jingchen Luo Mingxin here.

Although it is said to be a split, it actually only incorporates some plot scenes. A character similar to Song Zhao's personality does not exist in the drama version of "Shadow Link".

"The heavyweight literary film in the book can be magically transformed into the drama club's year-end stage play. Why don't I just obey the screenwriter." The book fan said quietly.

[I really save, the character Wu Xingyang has a very subtle stupidity compared to Song Zhao...]

Friends who have read the original work are also making complaints in the barrage.

In the third episode of "Heart Shadow Link", Liao Jingchen successfully induced Luo Mingxin to sign up for the leading role in the stage play, and took time to help him practice his lines and performances. Jiang Rong was approached by Wu Xingyang, who unexpectedly discovered that he had been with Jiang Rong's family knew each other. After learning about Jiang Rong's family's plight, Wu Xingyang thought he was considerate and provided a job for Jiang Rong's mother in the name of seeking help from her.

As for why he did this - because Wu Xingyang fell in love with Jiang Rong at first sight.

The setting is inexplicable and without any foreshadowing. Anyway, Jiang Rong is very good-looking. Anyway, Wu Xingyang fell in love with her the day the new students entered the school.

... Qin Jue was a little overwhelmed by this plot when he first watched the third episode. Now he still needs to pay attention to expression management during the second time.

[I’m so speechless. Song Zhao did this on purpose in the original work. He wanted to take advantage of Jiang Rong, but what was Wu Xingyang doing? . . 】

[Do I feel okay? Don't you just want to give a little help to the girl you have a crush on? 】

[There is a question I have always wanted to say. In the original novel, Rong Bao entered the entertainment industry in order to make quick money. In the drama version, Jiang Rong always emphasized that she should study hard to support her family in the future. There is something wrong with this logic... I still don’t understand. I know if her family is really in trouble...]

[The entire large-scale magical modification is like this. If you think about it carefully, it is full of loopholes that cannot be closed]

[Does Wu Xingyang want Jiang Rong to sign up as a heroine in a stage play? Why? 】

[Well, because he signed up for the male lead, he wants to play with Jiang Rong... right...? 】

[It’s hard to say what’s strange, but it’s just immature and indescribable (_ゝ`)]

The scenes related to the supporting characters dampened the enthusiasm of the friends to post barrages. It was not until the online game part appeared that the barrage pool recovered.

Although the real-life part is full of taken-for-grantedness, the screenwriter responsible for transforming the "other world" into an online game is quite responsible and has a lot of ingenuity in the detailed design.

For example, the running map tasks that "Rong Rong" did randomly during his new period were actually the beginning of a hidden task chain. These tasks can be found everywhere, but because the content is ordinary and the rewards are sparse, players all think that they are done by the game company to supplement their numbers. The few players who tried to explore also missed the opportunity to open the task chain because they did not have special identities such as "lover", so they only He was accidentally hit by "Rong Rong" and picked up.

After "Jingchen" went offline in anger, Jiang Rong checked the forum and found out that this was actually an extremely special large-scale hidden mission link in the "Heart Shadow Link" online game. Players who received the mission had to bind it to Together, the companions search for the gods in the world of shadows.

No one knows who the gods are or how they exist, and no one can clearly tell the final reward of this task chain. However, there have been rumors on the forum that players who meet the "god" can realize their most authentic wishes. Some people speculate that this means that they can directly talk to the game company. Some people make extremely exaggerated guesses based on this, thinking that even if they want a house, they will Either car is fine, because this task chain is too demanding, and those who complete it deserve such praise.

"...In the end, it didn't tell me how to give up the mission at all."

Jiang Rong lowered his head in pain.

Come to think of it, no player would want to abandon such a precious and rare quest chain.

But Master is very angry...

She hummed and buried her head into the pillow, exhaled, and then took out her gaming glasses and put them on.

Go online, click on the friend list, "Jingchen" shows that he is currently offline, rush into the private message to apologize and kneel down.

Although the plot was very high-pressure from Liao Jingchen's perspective, the tearful rabbit head still made most of the viewers laugh out loud.

So miserable, look at it again.

The whining "Rong Rong" suddenly noticed that "Jing Chen"'s profile picture lit up, and her tearful eyes suddenly widened.

!

Master is online!

A goat bone mask appeared on the screen, and a dark long coat danced in the wind. The barrage in the live broadcast room finally surged up like it had just started. However, Qin Jue's face was serious, more serious than when he watched the previous clips.

"We didn't communicate well this time." She sighed.

In fact, this is the content in the script of the second episode. It should have been placed later in the second episode according to the order. The plot is "'Jingchen' went offline angrily, and showed up with a bad face a few days later. He was tired of 'Rong Rong' but... I had no choice but to be coaxed pitifully and cautiously by 'Rong Rong', and finally I let her go and chatted with her about the task chain."

But when the second episode was broadcast, Qin Jue didn't see this part. He was a little surprised at the time and thought it had been cut. Only after watching the third episode did he realize that the showrunners thought that Liao Jingchen and Jiang Rong An indirect kiss is more suitable as a breakpoint, so the conversation between "Jing Chen" and "Rong Rong" was put on hold for the time being and was later inserted into the third episode.

[Ahhhhhhhhh, shut up! Don't pick your own thorns! (Rubbing the wolf’s head in anger.gif]

[I’m dying if I don’t take off my mask yet]

[The cold and impatient look while leaning against the tree is so handsome, woo woo, Demon King, I am your dog...! 】

[What’s wrong with people these days? They don’t know how to be more reserved when surfing the Internet. I won’t go into details. Where did my collar go? Has anyone seen it? 】

[laughing to death]

[The heroine has been left alone for a long time. . . 】

[She deserves it, who asked her to forcibly bind Liao Jingchen and let her talk over tea]

[Oh, okay, okay... Tang Nuo is pretty cute, in fact, I get angry every time I see her_(:з」∠)_]

[Well, I think this plot was adapted well. In the original work, Jingchen thinks that Rong Rong’s physique is very useful in attracting the heart shadow, so she takes her with her to make it easier for him to draw a knife and kill the shark when he is unhappy (lol, don’t treat Tutu as a mocking doll, you!), Rong Rong wants to seek the gods. It's up to her. Looking at this situation in the drama, "Jing Chen" feels that the game company will definitely arrange camp collision missions during the mission chain to encourage players to PVP. Anyway, he plays this game just to kill people to vent, so this is not unacceptable]

This barrage of serious discussion of the plot was read out by Qin Jue, and she nodded in agreement.

"It's just a pity. I should have kept it contained if I had known it was going to be put here."

The order of post-editing is very important. Just like marketing accounts breaking news, different expression methods and verbal tendencies can easily reverse right and wrong. "Jing Chen" and "Rong Rong" were moved to the third episode, and it became like "Liao Jingchen was sulking and refused to go online, Jiang Rong was forced to have a one-sided cold war, and finally Liao Jingchen felt better because of the progress made by Luo Mingxin, so he was willing to go online "Communicating with 'Rong Rong'" is very different from the expression during the shooting.

Qin Jue could only be grateful that she used the "smooth" acting method taught by Ruan Ziyan. Although it was not precise, it was highly versatile and could be followed even if the editing order was changed, so that the scene would not be out of touch.

"Um...Master."

Beside a remote road covered with trees, "Rongrong" sat on the grass wringing her fingers, trying to make the content about the task chain that she read from the forum more interesting, "...you, do you think you still have it?" Quite interesting?”

She raised her eyes cautiously, hoping to catch a glimpse of some "shocky" emotional changes in the black goat mask.

"Jingchen" didn't pay attention to her immediately. Many large and small light screens were spread out in front of him. On them were forums and game information. Many of them mentioned content such as "mission forward and reverse collision", which were relatively classic. Even if one team of people receives the task of guarding the goods, another team of people will inevitably receive the task of seizing the goods. At that time, the two teams will fight and kill at the designated location, giving birth to many love and hatred unique to the game.

Old players who are familiar with the game know that this is intentional by the game company. After all, PVP is the eternal way to make money. The murderous "Jing Chen" felt like a mirror. Although he was dissatisfied with the forced binding settings, he also managed to find some good news for himself.

The Tang knife turned in a sharp arc in the black goat's hand.

"Okay." Only then did "Jingchen" give "Rongrong" a cold response, "You look for God, I kill people."

As he said that, he stood up and walked towards the teleportation point.

"Uh-woo." The violence and murderous intent contained in this sentence were too strong. "Rongrong" shuddered, shrank her neck and got up from the ground, and followed her master with her short legs.

"Actually, well, the psychological test of this game is quite accurate, so I think that after finding that god, maybe I can really realize the most authentic wish."

"Rongrong" trotted beside "Jingchen", "Master, do you have any wishes? Things you like? What kind of person do you want to be? Discover your true self?"

The black goat said nothing.

There were only the sounds of wind and footsteps around.

"Rongrong", who was chirping like a little bird just now, suddenly stopped making noise. The teleportation point was close at hand. She stopped and looked at the silent back of "Jingchen".

The light symbolizing the start of the teleportation spread softly. "Rongrong" lowered her eyes, walked the remaining distance, and stood beside "Jingchen".

She didn't look at him, but just stared at the teleportation array under her feet.

"Don't you believe in God?" she asked softly.

The light bloomed, enveloping two figures, one tall and one short.

A second before the nearby scenery changed, "Rongrong" heard a cold murmur.

"...No need."

5400+ words, much more than expected.

*The movie script is adapted from "My Left Foot", directed by Jim Sheridan and starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
