Wu Zhen has always been one-sided in everything he does. As soon as Lin Xi passed the audition, Mr. Wu forcibly sent him to the stylist for hair dyeing.

Liu Hong, a stylist with eye-catching red and green long hair, held plant hair dye in one hand and a soft bristle brush in the other, stared at Lin Xi's short hair for a long time, finally sighed softly, and said : "Lin Xi, why is your hair so short? It's not like the style I originally designed for Mo Wei."

Lin Xi raised his hand and rubbed his soft hair and looked at the makeup mirror opposite. The young man with a delicate face was also looking at him helplessly, his phoenix eyes were clear and clean.

When I was at CX Entertainment before, Eric worked on it for five or six hours. If it is not suitable for Lin Xi, it is impossible. The short, choppy black hair slightly covered the forehead, only revealing a pair of clean and beautiful eyes, the hair did not reach the ears, brushed the ears with a smooth arc, and did not reach the neck, but it did not appear rigid and deliberate. The simple and majestic shape coupled with a dazzling and delicate face will only make people feel graceful, beautiful and not enchanting.

"Sister Liu, that's Guo Xiao's look, not mine."

Liu Hong had no choice but to accept her fate, and took a brush to apply it gently from the tip of her hair to the root of her hair. That's what I said, but when Liu Hong spent several hours dyeing her natural and pure black hair into silver, she had to sigh - the shape is more important than the face.

Lin Xi came out of the dressing room with his silver short hair, and he kept rubbing the hair on his head with his right hand, feeling strangely awkward. This bold and avant-garde hair color really tested his psychological endurance. But to his surprise, when Wu Zhen saw his eye-catching appearance, he slapped the table happily and said with a smile, "Good! I never thought that Xiao Lin was more suitable for Mo Wei than Guo Xiao, hahaha! The old man really found a treasure."

Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Wu, stop laughing."

Wu Zhen didn't take it seriously: "Xiao Lin, if you had auditioned for our role earlier, there would be nothing wrong with that Guo Xiao."

Lin Xi didn't answer, he just smiled and accepted it.

Zhu Qing had just changed into a navy blue casual jacket. He heard Wu Zhen's words after he came from the changing room, stood beside Lin Xi, and said with a smile, "Director Wu, you said that. Lin Xiaoqiu now Even if you have officially joined our crew."

"Of course. Anyway, that Guo Xiao just took part in a few scenes, and Xiao Lin should be able to make up for it after a few days of work, but well, I have to work hard for you, Xiao Lin."

Lin Xi curled his lips slightly, showing a humble and polite smile, his elegant and handsome eyebrows and eyes curved into a graceful arc, and said, "Mr. Wu, please give me your advice!"

"Haha, good! Good!"

Since the first scene this morning was filmed at four o'clock in the morning to catch up with the night scene, it was only noon when Lin Xi officially joined the crew. The seaside sky is extremely blue and far away, the clouds stretch and float, and the waves hit the rocky cliffs. At the intersection of the distant sky and horizon, you can only see the gentle blue like silk blending with each other, and you can’t tell the difference between the sky and the sea. .

The afternoon scene was carried out under such a dreamlike scenery.

When Lin Xi came out of the dressing room, the late autumn sea breeze blowing against his face made him tremble all over, and his hairs almost stood on end. He shrank his neck in fear of the cold, but was disappointed to find that he didn't feel the warmth of being surrounded by cotton wool in the past. On top of the black close-fitting vest, only a thin dark short jacket was added, revealing the entire graceful neck shivering in the cold wind. Not only was a warm scarf missing to avoid the cold, but even a silver cross with a glimmer of silver was hung to make matters worse. The icy metal temperature was transmitted to the limbs of the body through the skin, and Lin Xi only felt the coldness of the twelfth lunar month.

… luckily it’s not winter yet.

"Xiao Lin, I didn't expect the size of this dress to be quite suitable for you. This is your first shot, let's shoot something simple first, let's shoot the one you auditioned just now. Sigh, why did you only use two cameras just now? , if we use a few more cameras, the scene just now will definitely pass.” Seeing Lin Xi approaching, Wu Zhen sat on the wicker chair and said, “Let’s hurry up and try to pass the scene at the beach today. Tomorrow Don't have to suffer this."

Lin Xida nodded in agreement, and was so impatient that he went directly to the stage to start the machine without saying a word.

"Dark War" is an undercover police and gangster film that promotes its core values. It is different from the usual gangster police plots. It pays more attention to the tragedy of undercover police and the brutal bloody gang fights. The leading actor Zuo Yiwen played by Zhu Qing entered the police academy at the age of 16 and achieved outstanding results. Two years later, he was selected as an undercover agent before graduating, giving up his past identity and dreams.

Zuo Yiwen, who was nearly 18 years old, was sent to prison. It took half a year to gain the trust of the guillotine, the confidant of the drug lord Leopard Zhang, at the cost of being hacked. underworld forces. From the age of 18 to 32, for a full 14 years, how many times of bullets, how many years of life and death, he rose step by step and finally became the most trusted confidant of Leopard Zhang's subordinates.

However, due to a mistake by the police, Leopard Zhang caught an exposed undercover agent. Leopard Zhang, whose deal had been messed up, tortured the undercover agent in front of everyone. He directly crippled the man's ten fingers, dragged the man's wife and children in front of him, and shot them to death one by one. Finally, when the man's daughter was killed, the man couldn't take it anymore and told Leopard Zhang—there were four undercover agents in total. Apart from myself, there are...

Fortunately, it was another undercover agent who blew himself up. After shooting the man to death, he committed suicide by drinking a bullet. From then on, Zuo Yiwen fell into a death situation. Either escape from death by a narrow margin, or expose his identity to a dead end.

Zuo Yiwen's situation became more and more dangerous as another undercover agent was set up by Leopard Zhang, discovered and killed. Due to the failure of a mission, Leopard Zhang became more and more suspicious of his identity, and even set up a hook to quote Zuo Yiwen directly in the next transaction. Zuo Yiwen, who didn't know about it, told the handover information about the operation, but he didn't know that this was a trap deliberately set by Leopard Zhang.

But that time, the one who died was Zuo Yiwen's capable general - Mo Wei.

In front of his brothers, Leopard Zhang shot and killed Mo Wei himself, and informed all the brothers that the last undercover agent was Mo Wei.

Zuo Yiwen couldn't believe it, he was the one who was tricked into passing the wrong information, so why did he become Mo Wei from undercover.

But it cannot be denied that after this design, Leopard Zhang trusted Zuo Yiwen even more and no longer doubted him. nest end. Just when Zuo Yiwen thought he could finally end this dark life, he got a piece of news—the police car escorting Leopard Zhang was robbed, and Leopard Zhang escaped!

Then came Leopard Zhang's revenge, kidnapping Zuo Yiwen's fiancée Mu Xin. Zuo Yiwen took the risk of being alone to save his fiancée, but in the end...but there was no happy ending. Mu Xin was shot and died, and Leopard Zhang could not escape legal sanctions. But Zuo Yiwen can only be a loner.

The destination of the hero is different.

The life of an undercover agent is destined to be dark, hiding himself and helping the public.

Among them, the heroine Mu Xin played by Ji Mei doesn't have much role, but Leopard Zhang and Mo Wei have a lot of roles.

"Lin Xiaoqiu, are you so afraid of the cold?" Zhu Qing sat on a comfortable soft chair, wearing a dark gray coat, drinking thick ginger tea one after another.

Looking at Lin Xi from the sidelines, she looked as if she wished she could wrap a quilt around her body. His thin body was wrapped in two overcoats. Although he didn't feel bloated, no matter how he looked at it, he had the illusion of coming back from the glacier.

"Brother Zhu, how many scenes are left?" Lin Xi asked, her small face was almost completely buried in the scarf, and her silver hair made her fair skin.

Zhu Qing picked up the script placed on the table beside him, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Today is filming the seaside scene, and there are only two scenes left, both of which are mine and yours." Seems to have suddenly seen something important, wish Qing's eyes paused, staring at Lin Xi for a long time before turning his head, looking at the unscrupulous Lin Xi with complicated eyes, and said: "You just joined the film crew today, although you already know the script before, but... today's last A scene is very important, you are sure to be able to..." Zhu Qing's doubtful words stuck in his throat when his eyes met Lin Xi's.

I saw that pair of light amber phoenix eyes were indifferent and calm, the corners of the slightly hooked lips had a beautiful curve, the silver hair danced with the wind, and the whole body exuded a kind of confident light. Just one look makes people feel inexplicable.

Zhu Qing was stunned for a while, then smiled. When the recorder came to call for someone, he gave Lin Xi a meaningful look, his eyes filled with anticipation and... fighting spirit.

--------

This warehouse only covers an area of more than 200 square meters, and it has been abandoned for a long time. Even the lock on the door has a thin layer of reddish-brown rust, which can be slapped to the ground with a light tap. Although it was not locked, this piece of land belonged to the ruthless and vicious Leopard Zhang, so no one dared to come here to commit crimes.

Zuo Yiwen brought only two people with him, wearing a dark gray slim-fitting suit, he pushed the door open and walked in, looking exhausted.

There were already dozens of people standing in the warehouse, divided into two teams and standing on both sides of a burly man with a scar.

The man with the scar sitting on the only chair heard the footsteps coming from the gate. He seemed to be looking at it, and the corner of his mouth was smiling. Under the twitch of his cheek muscles, the ugly and terrifying scar squirmed, like A nasty reptile.

"Awen, come here."

Zuo Yiwen walked forward with a heart full of uneasiness, his eyes briefly met Mo Wei who was standing in the head row on the left, and then quickly turned away, turned his head and said to the man with the scar: "Brother, I don't know what happened today." What did you call the brothers for?" As he spoke, he quietly observed the expressions of the people around him, only to find that everyone was also in a daze, waiting for the man with the scar to answer.

Leopard Zhang stood up from his chair, with an ugly smile on his fierce face, and said: "Ah Wen asked well! Today, Leopard Zhang called the backbone of our Hongying Gang here, of course it is important It’s over. Mo Wei, tell me, what’s the biggest thing about our Hongying Gang recently?”

Mo Wei stepped out of the queue and stood beside Zuo Yiwen, his tall and upward phoenix eyes revealed a trace of unruly evil, his well-shaped lips curled up, and he said with a smile: "Of course we, Hong Ying, actually came out." You're undercover, brother."

Zuo Yiwen's heart sank when he heard the words, and he shifted his gaze to Mo Wei who was beside him anxiously, only to see that the latter's silver hair shone brightly under the light, and his skin was so fair that it was almost transparent. Zuo Yiwen's throat was dry for a while, and he almost couldn't maintain the gentle smile on his face. He twitched the corners of his mouth where no one else could notice, and said, "Xiao Wei is right, so today big brother... found that undercover agent?"

Leopard Zhang let out a cold snort from his nose, the corners of his mouth curled up in a cold-blooded arc, and the scars on his face huddled together, and said, "I told that undercover agent a few days ago that we had a meeting with Long Biao at Hangkou Wharf tonight. It's a business deal, Xiao Hu called just now, and that undercover agent really fell for it."

Zuo Yiwen felt chills in his heart, looked at Leopard Zhang with unbelievable eyes, but quickly covered it up. He only felt cold all over his body, rumbled in his ears, and his soul seemed to have drifted away.

It turned out to be a trap!

Thinking of the colleagues from the police force who had rushed to nothing on the pier, and thinking of...the terrible situation he was about to face, the warm smile that had been hanging on Zuo Yiwen's face finally completely subsided. He watched Leopard Zhang laughing loudly in silence, but his mind was clearer than ever.

"Brother, who is that undercover agent?" A short man said.

Leopard Zhang sneered: "He's right here." As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd became noisy. Everyone looked left and right, looking at each other in blank dismay.

Mo Wei took a step forward, and the tight black trousers further accentuated his thin figure. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his gloomy and beautiful face, and he said, "Brother, if you tell the name of that thing, I will be the first to give him a shot." As soon as he said this, other people present also responded , only Zuo Yiwen stood aside with a cold face, silent.

The smile on Leopard Zhang's face was even bigger. He stepped forward and took another step, glanced at the silent Zuo Yiwen and the provocative and aggressive Mo Wei, and asked, "Oh? Then this matter must be let Mo Wei go." Done. Because, this person is…”

Leopard Zhang dragged out his voice, he took out a cold black Beletta slowly, the black muzzle slowly slipped from the far left to the far right, and finally returned to the middle——

It stopped on Zuo Yiwen's body.

Everyone present had their hearts in their throats, sweating profusely. Only Zuo Yiwen under the gun had a calm expression on his face, as if the Beretta facing his chest was just a toy gun, and it seemed that he was trying to cover up something.

Seeing this, Mo Wei's eyes widened, and he exhaled anxiously: "It can't be Brother Yiwen, Brother Yiwen..."

"boom-"

The smell of violently burning gunpowder filled the air, and Beretta, known as the Black Death, ruthlessly roared out cold bullets.

Mo Wei opened his mouth halfway, staring blankly at the leopard. The scar running across the left and right cheeks grinned grinningly at this moment, as if laughing at his stupidity. There was a burning pain in the chest, and the bubbling heat kept coming out from the center of the chest, Mo Wei lowered his head and looked down——

The dark red blood drenched the tight black vest, and the silver cross necklace in front of his chest was already stained with mottled and glaring blood.

A fishy-sweet taste rose in his throat, and Mo Wei's eyes darkened and he fell backwards, but suddenly fell into a powerful arm. He looked up with his eyes blindfolded, and saw Zuo Yiwen staring at himself with shock in his eyes.

"Because, this person is you! Mo Wei!" Leopard Zhang's rough voice echoed throughout the warehouse.

Zuo Yiwen stared blankly at the pale Mo Wei in his arms, bright red blood kept flowing from his mouth, but his eyes were clear and clean, as innocent as if he had never been in the world. Zuo Yiwen suddenly felt dazed, turned his head to Leopard Zhang and asked loudly: "Brother! How could it be Mo Wei, this is simply..." Suddenly realizing that this is a great opportunity, someone has already cleared himself of the suspicion and became a scapegoat. Zuo Yiwen suddenly shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Leopard Zhang snorted coldly: "Oh, it's Mo Wei. I've already investigated, and he approached you on purpose from the beginning, Ah Wen."

Mo Wei's vision became more and more confused, his hazy eyes stared blankly at Zuo Yiwen's handsome face, and his sanity gradually became lax. The bright red blood dyed the bright red lips, which was particularly shocking.

Zuo Yiwen was full of thoughts in his heart, after a long time he suddenly sighed, slowly embraced Mo Wei's thin body, looked at Leopard Zhang, and said, "I'm sorry, brother, it was my mistake that let the undercover take advantage of it." Get in."

Leopard Zhang laughed a few times, and everyone present discussed.

Zuo Yiwen managed to maintain a calm expression on his face, but his hands were trembling slightly. Through the thin clothes, he could feel that the fragile body in his arms was rapidly losing vitality, the spine under the palm was abnormally protruding, and every back rib was so thin that it protruded. He secretly hugged the silver-haired boy who had been with him for eight years in his arms, and his eyes seemed to return to the scene when he first saw him.

The 16-year-old boy is as skinny as a stick, with a cigarette in his mouth, he is not afraid of anything, but he is not afraid of being beaten badly. Such a vigorous young man is now just a thin body in his arms.

"Brother Yiwen..."

Suddenly there was a voice that was so weak that it was almost inaudible, Zuo Yiwen was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly woke up. He maintained a calm expression on his face, but pricked up his ears to listen to the faint voice that rang in his ears.

"Cough...Brother Yiwen...don't worry..." As if exhausted, the voice became weaker: "...you will never be in trouble...cough..."

Zuo Yiwen's heart trembled, and he could no longer maintain his indifferent and calm expression. His eye sockets gradually warmed up, his throat became hoarse and he couldn't speak.

He suddenly understood... this so-called trap, who is the real trapper.

"Cough..." There was another violent cough in his ear, as if he was coughing up all his life. Zuo Yiwen suddenly felt a burst of damp heat on his back, and then the beam of his back under his palm suddenly bent, and the weight of his entire body suddenly fell on him. Very light, as light as a feather.

There was a tremor in his heart, and he couldn't stop the tears, which slowly fell from his eyes.
