What Jiang Qi said, Wang Zhaoqiu naturally understood what he meant - that is yours, and I can't act.
His script "Progress" is filled with a lot of soft and delicate feelings and psychological activities of the male lead, definitely not a pure mental illness, but for an "experiential" actor like Jiang Qi, he doesn't have those emotions. Rejecting this script and not acting it is a kind of responsibility of the teenager.
Under such an extremely honest self-dissection, and even uttered some sensational 'rumors', Wang Zhaoqiu found himself unable to say anything.
Similarly, Shen Lei couldn't say anything.
The moment of silence where several people looked at each other in blank dismay was still the silence that Jiang Qi first broke on his own initiative.
"Thank you." The boy nodded slightly to Wang Zhaoqiu: "I'll go first."
After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
"wait!"
Wang Zhaoqiu subconsciously called him to stop, but he didn't know what to say under Jiang Qi's surprised and indifferent gaze.
After a long time, he thought about it and opened his mouth, and asked tentatively: "Then do you only play this kind of special role in your life? Do you only play what you can play?"
Jiang Qi didn't say 'quit from the entertainment industry and won't act anymore', but thought for a while in silence, and answered honestly: "At least for now, I can't act in emotional scenes with girls."
"Can't you try it?" Wang Zhaoqiu asked subconsciously: "Actually, I tried it, maybe it's easier than you imagined."
After all, emotional dramas are actually easier than those extremely complicated extreme psychological dramas, as long as you really "enter the drama".
Jiang Qi shook his head without hesitation.
Wang Zhaoqiu became angry again, and asked in a deep voice, "You refused so quickly, without even thinking about it?"
In fact, he really wanted to say the phrase 'Do you know what you are rejecting? ', But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this sentence is a bit too "dominant president" for a bad old man like him.
After thinking about it, Wang Zhaoqiu restrained himself.
"Don't think about it, I just can't act in emotional scenes." Jiang Qi said stubbornly: "I have someone I like."
In front of Zhiqi, he couldn't express his unspeakable feelings, so how could he be "passionate" to other girls? That was simply impossible, so from the very beginning Jiang Qi would not promise what he couldn't do.
Wang Zhaoqiu stared at him, his Adam's apple rolled, and after enduring it, he suddenly asked—
"The special kind of roles...for example, patients with gender identity disorder, can you play it?"
Shen Lei was stunned when he heard this.
And Jiang Qi looked at Wang Zhaoqiu suspiciously, and asked slowly, with a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
"This is Qu Heng's business card." Wang Zhaoqiu snorted, took out a business card with a sneer and 'flyed it to' Shen Lei, and what he said was somewhat unwilling: "Old Qu is also selecting his new film recently. Jiao, let this kid try it out, as for whether it will work... Humph, who knows."
This is probably the director's "cherishing talent", even if Wang Zhaoqiu regrets that Jiang Qi can't act in his play, he also unconsciously wants to introduce other film sources to him.
And the "Qu Heng" in Wang Zhaoqiu's mouth was the best director of the Manchester Film Festival last year.
To put it plainly, the entertainment circle is just one circle. Once you know someone, you will have connections with many people.
Shen Lei can only be regarded as a stepping stone.
He can provide Jiang Qi with network resources, and he can also reciprocate with the leaders because he discovered Jiang Qi's 'treasure'.
After Wang Zhaoqiu left, Shen Lei forced Jiang Qi to sit at the table and read the script.
"In any case, you have to watch it. Director Wang must have meant to push you to Qu Heng for an audition." Although Wang Zhaoqiu called Qu Heng "Old Qu", in fact Qu Heng was only about forty years old. He is a middle-aged man, and he is far less respected than Wang Zhaoqiu in the circle, so Shen Lei didn't call him 'Director Qu' either.
But this does not mean that Qu Heng's books are not precious.
On the contrary, Qu Heng is a well-known up-and-comer in the past few years, being able to play his leading role is no less than playing Shen Lei's leading role, so the latter would rather hold Jiang Qi in check and let him read the script.
But even though Jiang Qi sat down, his mind was in a mess, and he was actually very anxious.
He always glanced at the mobile phone on the table next to him from time to time, and the script in front of him, which was clearly in Chinese characters, felt like a bible, and he couldn't read a single word.
Shen Lei noticed his small movements, frowned slightly, and asked thoughtfully: "Is it because of the hot search? Don't worry about that, as long as you take down the protagonist of Qu Heng, the wind direction will naturally change."
"..." Jiang Qi looked at him blankly: "What hot search?"
"Ah? You don't know?" Shen Lei was a little confused.
Because just after the fan meeting ended, under the verbal criticism of the media, #江琦X盐你妈# This black entry has quickly become a trending search, followed by a #爆# character as expected.
Jiang Qi didn't even bother to ask what the hot search was, he stared at the phone just because he felt it was a pity.
It's a pity that I didn't ask for Zhiqi's contact information just now, but can they use Weibo to get in touch
Thinking about it, Jiang Qi opened the dialog box with Zhiqi in the private message on Weibo, and tentatively sent a message.
"..." Shen Lei, who was watching by the side, was numb, feeling a little suffocated: "What are you doing?"
"nothing."
Jiang Qi put down his phone after sending out, picked up the script on the table, and pretended to read the script that Wang Zhaoqiu left just now seriously.
But looking at it, he became serious.
The play is called "Jiao Si".
It tells the story of the protagonist, Chen Siming, who has gender cognitive impairment. He is clearly a boy, but he was discriminated against because he was shorter than other boys, thin and thin.
Boys don't like him, but girls like playing with Chen Si very much.
Dresses, cakes, dolls, these are like some kind of "salvation" in Chen Si's young heart. He likes cute girls, likes those fragrant temples surrounded by lingering temples, and even dreams of becoming a girl.
This distorted environment and mentality created a kind of "gender disorder cognition", which caused Chen Si to think too much when he was a teenager, and he really fell into the misunderstanding and firmly believed that he was a girl.
It's just that the following things are more than ordinary girls.
So even if Chen Si grows taller and is almost like a normal man, he still insists that he is a woman.
Like a girl, he controls his weight, maintains a "willow slender" figure, and even speaks softly and gracefully. He has always been ridiculed as a "sissy".
Chen Si didn't care, and even laughed: "What's a sissy? I'm a girl."
Patients with gender disorder cognition insist that they are different from others, which is a kind of 'pathology'.
It's a pity that no one corrected Chen Si's morbid thinking, and even his parents disliked him and kicked him out of the house, denying him as a 'son'.
Chen Si puts on makeup, wears skirts, even has a boyfriend, and does everything a girl can do. No matter how many people insult him, he is a crazy, perverted man who doesn't know it...
So Chen Si made a decision. With his morbidly thin body, he became an alternative model, and used his savings to go to Thailand for sex reassignment surgery.
In the end, Chen Si died on the operating table.
This is a story that is extremely extreme and even challenges the "radio and TV review". It tells about Chen Si's tragic and extreme life. In fact, in essence, it is somewhat similar to Mu Xi in "Watching the Sky".
There is also the psychological shadow caused by the huge trauma caused by childhood. The difference is that Mu Xi became a "violent person", while Chen Si fell into a misunderstanding and destroyed himself.
But gender cognitive impairment is just a disease, not a fault.
After reading the script, Jiang Qi was quiet for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I'm going to audition."
After hearing this, Shen Lei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because he knew that Jiang Qi would only agree to audition for roles he was confident he could play, which meant that he was bound to win 'Chen Si'.
Although this movie is extreme to a certain extent, it will inevitably cause huge controversy after it is broadcast, but it is Qu Heng's after all.
As long as he becomes a famous guide, the nature of human Mu Qiang will make all Jiang Qi's black spots nothing.
