The next day, Xu Shi woke up and cleaned up quickly, and then rushed back to his hometown with his elder brother Xu Cheng and nephew Xu Mingjie.

There are not many rules for worshiping ancestors in my hometown. Not long after, Xu Shi and others completed worshiping ancestors, and then left their hometown under the siege of relatives and returned to the county town again.

There is nothing else to do on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After eating the ingot at noon, it is basically fine.

However, Xu Shi didn't feel bored either. He took advantage of this rare free time to relax and sorted out his messy thoughts during this period.

Now it can be said that no one has too much hope for his new movie. Apart from himself, the reason why everyone is optimistic about his movie is because of the reputation of the previous movie.

So the expectation for movies is only in terms of reputation, not in box office.

A good reputation does not necessarily mean box office, this is a normal thing.

After the incident between Xu Cheng and Xu Mingjie and his brother-sister, Xu Shi also understood that he needed to give his family some confidence so that they would not worry about him.

Therefore, cooperation with Magic City TV is imperative. No matter what, you need to sign this contract, which not only makes your family feel at ease, but also makes your company feel at ease.

No matter what, everyone still has expectations for Xu Shi, so as long as there is subsequent funds, the people on the company will not be too turbulent.

And no matter what, Xu Shidu must remember this favor from Magic City TV. One reason is that this project was found by my elder sister for favors, and the other reason is that people are really trying to help him. Of course, they also have the intention of getting a bargain or investing. But no matter what, they must recognize the favors they should recognize.

Apart from these things, the only thing left is the movie. The filming of the movie needs to be completed with quality and quantity. It has reached this point. Xu Shi has paid a lot of pressure and is hard for ordinary people to imagine, so no matter what, he cannot ruin his reputation.

............

Xu Shi thought a lot when he put his thoughts into space, and he fell asleep without realizing it.

After staying at home for another two days, just like last year, Xu Shi left home on the third day of the Lunar New Year and went to the crew.

"Boss Sun, when can you be free?" Xu Shi arrived at the crew and adjusted it a little and called Sun Tu.

"It's almost there, there will be no one here after the Lantern Festival. Don't worry, after sending off this wave of guests, we will not receive other guests here for the time being. We will leave it for you to take pictures." Sun Tu said.

"Okay, thank you Boss Sun." Xu Shi said.

Now Sun Tu has spent such a big price on Xu Shi's movie, so it is equivalent to helping him strengthen his determination again. No matter what, he must make Xu Shi's movie well.

For this reason, he also did a lot of work as a partner, repeatedly explaining the benefits of Xu Shi Film's good reputation, which convinced the partner.

Xu Shi hung up the phone and started discussing plot and acting with Cheng Guochao and Zhang Kui.

Now the outbreak of Truman has reached a lasting point. This outbreak requires extremely high skills, and Xu Shi has not grasped the key point now.

"Old Cheng, tell me how to act this? How to express that kind of emotion that is so desperate that it is deep." Xu Shi rubbed his eyebrows and said. He actually thought a lot before, but he had never had a specific idea.

Cheng Guochao thought for a while and said, "The expression of despair is generally divided into two types. One is an outbreak that is suppressed to the extreme, requiring extremely strong emotional infectiousness, and the other is silent to death. Extreme despair triggers the character's despair, and the sense of despair that cannot accept reality.

Of course, these are just under normal circumstances. The roles like this depend on the actors themselves. Many well-known actors have their own understanding of these emotions.

Sometimes you don’t look like the situation, but the performance is really good.”

"Doesn't you say this mean you didn't say it? Tell me about the specific situation. You don't know what to do?" Xu Shi rolled his eyes and said.

"I really don't know much about this. Why don't you try the show first? See which situation is the most suitable?" Cheng Guochao suggested.

Zhang Kui next to him didn't say anything, he was listening quietly, and he had no idea about such extreme emotions.

"Then I'll try it first." Xu Shiye could only try it first, and he had no confidence in such a scene.

However, Xu Shi also needed to make more preparations. He did not take the test show on the spot. He first read the script carefully and completely put himself in the role of Truman.

It was not until the afternoon that Xu Shicai slowly accumulated his emotions.

At this moment, Xu Shi was opening his eyes, but his eyes were extremely empty, as if there was an indescribable pain gathering in his eyes.

"Why? Why? Why?..." Xu Shi kept saying these three words, his emotions started to fall and empty at the beginning, and then slowly rose, anger, and then despair!

Looking back on Truman's past life, it was so happy and fulfilling.

Loving parents, loving wives, close friends, and warm neighbors.

It can be said that he had experienced all the beauty of the world before, and his life since childhood was so carefree and so happy.

This led to Truman's character always being a sunny boy.

But after knowing the truth and thinking about all this again is simply an extreme ridicule. It turns out that all this is fake.

My parents are not his real parents, and they are not even adoptive parents. Their love for themselves is fake, for money, for fame...

For everything that Truman could think of is not for him!

I think of my parents who have taught him to be kind, honest and trustworthy since childhood.

He learned all these things, wrote them down, and implemented them, but what about his parents? What about relatives? What about friends?

This is not an extreme irony!

The happier Truman was in the past, the more desperate Truman was at this moment!

He is truly a person who was abandoned by the world!

No one cares about his true feelings, everyone just uses him to make fun of him!

These pictures have been echoing in Xu Shi's mind, as if he has slowly found his feelings.

"You guys said it? Why!"

"Did I do something wrong? Can't I change it?"

Xu Shi slowly squatted down, curled his legs, hugged his body with both hands, and kept trembling.

At this moment, the sunshine boy no longer existed. He began to fear the world, the so-called parents, and the wife.

................

After a long time, Xu Shicai calmed down his emotions a little, looked at the two people beside him and asked, "How is this effect?"

Cheng Guochao gave a thumbs up and said, "It's really good. I didn't expect you to be so good at acting. It seems that your Xu family is really born to be suitable for this bowl of rice."

This is Cheng Guochao's sincere praise. Xu Shi's interpretation just now seemed very good to him.

"Is it just good?" Xu Shi frowned.

This scene is actually the explosion point of emotions in the play, but if it is good, it seems that the effect he wants cannot be achieved.

"Your explosive tension is still a little lacking, and your infectiousness is not enough. Otherwise, you can take another method." Cheng Guochao suggested.

Xu Shi nodded, but the effect was even more unsatisfactory. Xu Shi seemed unable to fully understand the true emotion of despair, the infectiousness that could make people see this emotion at a glance.

His eyes were indeed empty, but that hollowness could not convey this emotion.

After two days like this, Xu Shi had not yet found the feeling of wanting and gradually became anxious.

................

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, everyone in the crew was busy on the island contracted by Sun Tu. They had arrived three days ago and then started shooting some content.

But what is surprising is that the protagonist Xu Shi is not here, and it seems that he doesn't know where he has gone.

"Xiao Cheng, tell me where Director Xu went? Didn't I hear that he had arrived long ago? Why haven't you seen anyone yet?" Zhai Meirong was a little anxious.

Three days have passed now, but I haven't seen where Xu Shiren is yet, which makes many people in the crew feel a little uneasy.

Before he knew it, Xu Shi had become the real core of the crew, and everyone was surrounding him. Without him, the crew seemed to be missing something, and without the confidence he was there.

Cheng Guochao forced a smile and said, "Aunt Zhai, don't be anxious, it's soon. It won't take long to come back."

"Then tell me what he is doing? Why haven't he seen anyone for so long?" Zhai Meirong asked relentlessly.

She actually understood that Xu Shi was under a lot of pressure, but she couldn't avoid it.

Seeing her appearance, Cheng Guochao knew that it would be impossible not to say anything, so he carefully said, "You also know the scenes Xu Shi will act next. He couldn't really find that feeling some time ago, so he went to find such a feeling."

Zhai Meirong was stunned for a moment, wasn’t she escaping?

But Zhai Meirong was a little suspicious when she said she was looking for it. How to find that kind of desperate feeling?

Such feelings are generalized by the actors who use solid acting skills to interpret them, which depends purely on personal abilities.

After all, this is not a simple emotion like happiness, depression, and sadness. You can feel it by finding a little bit of a place to experience it.

Where do you feel this kind of despair?

Moreover, she could clearly feel that Cheng Guochao was absent-minded during this period. Not only him, but even Xu Shi was gone, Zhang Kui, who should be happy.

Zhang Kui was not happy that Xu Shi was gone and that he could truly control the camera, but instead seemed a little restless.

She was about to continue asking something, but suddenly she saw Cheng Guochao constantly browsing the news, as if she was paying attention to something.

At this moment, Cheng Guochao's face was happy, and he quickly opened a news and read it carefully.

Zhai Meirong also came over curiously, and the title above read: Yesterday, with the help of kind citizens, the xx police destroyed a black factory that manipulated disabled people!

When I saw this title, I was stunned at first, and then I thought of Cheng Guochao's words just now, and my eyes began to flash.

Cheng Guochao looked at the entire content carefully, and then regardless of Zhai Meirong next to him, he immediately took out his cell phone and made a call. After hearing the hoarse sound over there, he almost collapsed on the ground. No one knew the pressure he had been under during this period.

After seeing Zhai Meirong's inquiring expression, Cheng Guochao breathed a sigh of relief: "Xu Shi will be back tomorrow, so everyone doesn't have to wait any longer."

"This kind-hearted citizen is Xu Shi?" Zhai Meirong suddenly asked this.

She seemed to have guessed the truth of the matter.

At this time, Cheng Guochao no longer concealed it and told the matter outright.
