Just for the words Xia Xiqing replied in the comment section, Zhou Ziheng was wandering for a week. Every day, if he had something to do, he would smile at Xia Xiqing and do something strange.

One day, Xia Xiqing was nesting in Zhou Ziheng's bedroom and watching a movie. When he heard something downstairs, he went downstairs and found that it was Zhou Ziheng and Zhao Ke. They were carrying two large cardboard boxes, but they didn't know what was inside. They asked curiously, and both of them were hesitant.

"What are you holding in your hands? I'll help you."

"Oh no, no," Zhou Ziheng laughed dryly, kicked Zhao Ke's leg with his feet, "Let's go to the rooftop."

"There is a key on the rooftop?" Xia Xiqing frowned in confusion.

Zhou Ziheng nodded, "I took care of the property management yesterday." After that, the two of them hummed and carried the box upstairs.

When passing by him, Xia Xiqing glanced at the English on the box.

I always feel familiar, but I can't remember it for a while. It was not until before going to bed at night that Xia Xiqing remembered that he seemed to have seen similar cartons at Brother Xia Zhixu before, d, photography equipment.

What did Zhou Ziheng do to make that thing?

It’s not surprising if you think about it carefully. Brother Xia Zhixu studied astrophysics and Zhou Ziheng studied physics. It is normal for two people to have the same interests and hobbies.

The fact that "Stalking" was selected as the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival was not publicly promoted at the beginning. It was not until the official list of selected items was issued in early December that the official Weibo of "Stalking" was officially announced, and it was also announced that the schedule would be extended to the opening day of the Berlin Film Festival.

[@Movie Tracking Official Weibo: The movie "Stalking" directed by Kuncheng @Chengcheng Chengzi and starring Zhou Ziheng @Actor Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing @tsing_summer was reissued on February 3! The trailer for "Fate Edition" was officially released in 1 minute and 30 seconds. Life is like an ant, fight with life!]

During the post-production period, Kuncheng and the production team also called Xia Xiqing several times and asked him for advice from the perspective of art. However, Xia Xiqing was not a professional film art director and had refused, but Kuncheng insisted.

"Your identity is special. You are not only a painter, but also Jiang Tong in the play. We need to show the world in his eyes from Jiang Tong's perspective."

Xia Xiqing suddenly understood what Kuncheng meant. What he needed was to use art methods to restore the world that Jiang Tong saw as much as possible in the eyes of the audience. This world of fire cooking oil, flowers but extremely cruel.

On the day of the trailer, Xia Xiqing was also very nervous. This tension was almost comparable to his first participation in his painting auction. Unlike painting, this movie was used by him as a complete person to interpret a soul that was very similar to him. This kind of creation was extremely rare for him, and there might never be a second time.

So even though he had participated in the shooting throughout the whole process, his heart was still slightly shaken when he saw the trailer.

Because it was the first trailer, there were only one minute and thirty seconds, and the content and plots to be told were very limited. The opening scene was the scene of Gao Kun, played by Zhou Ziheng, sitting in the crowded and worn small clinic. The close-up shot quickly switched on both faces, Gao Kun, with red hair and a fierce body, and the doctor with disdainful eyes on his face.

"You don't even say what kind of disease I have?"

"What, I still think I'm terminally ill."

The clinic door slammed, and the walls were covered with graffiti, with small advertisements like moss stuck on them, intertwined with the bright red paint prints of fake certificates, covering each other like those who had done ugly things.

There are only a pair of legs that keep moving forward in the muddy and narrow alleys. The black jeans are splashed with mud dots. The elongated shot shows the community that is as messy as a rotten ant nest. All kinds of people from the bottom of the society are coming and going. A ten-second shot is like a microcosm of the lowest world. The insults are mixed with shouts of calling children to go back for dinner, and shouting and selling whistles of mixed and congested culverts. But these are just background sounds, and the real voiceover is accompanied by the legs that keep moving forward.

[Your mother ran away when she gave birth to you. She was tricked into giving birth to a baby!]

[A dog thing that a mother gave birth to but not a mother.]

[The father died, and another grandma died, and they all lived, and the nemesis was the one.]

[What kind of work are you here in the city? Have you become an adult? I dare not use child labor. Don’t delay my business!]

[Hey, why can’t I survive? What kind of grandma? I’ll save you yourself these days.]

[You have the ability to go to a big hospital! You will be poor all your life!]

The sounds became louder and louder, and they became noisier and mixed together like countless out-of-control machines, and finally returned to silence under a harsh noise.

The picture is completely dark, and breathing can be heard in the darkness.

"I'm getting AIDS." The voice had a brief calm.

When the picture lights up again, it is Gao Kun smashing the iron gate of Along's rental house. With a loud bang, Gao Kun's twisted and hideous face was revealed in the gaps in the railings.

"Aids! Do you know?!"

The green wall outside the iron gate gradually turned into a night convenience store covered with green filters under the effect of montage.

Gao Kun, who had cut his palms, randomly smeared scarlet blood on the shelves of the convenience store, and his legs wandered like a lonely soul, until he walked to the last row of shelves near the warehouse with blood. He faced another pair of footsteps, and white sneakers that were worn out with clean glue, rubbed the gray convenience store uniform pants.

The camera only has the lower body shot. The man in uniform let go of his hand, and the box in his hand fell to the ground, spilling colorful lollipops all over the floor.

The orange lollipop changed again, turning into an orange sunset. In the shadow reflected on the wall, a weak voice curled up on the ground and was beaten to the point where he couldn't stand up.

The music suddenly accelerated, and the two images began to interlaced, both in the tracking angle. One was the thin figure following in the darkness, and the other was the limping back following the road in the setting sun. The image repeatedly flickered from midnight and twilight, and finally turned into two close faces in the arousal of the music.

The picture flashed, Gao Kun pinched a person's neck hard, and his veins swelled up, and even his voice was gritting his teeth.

"I can't die alone..."

At the end of this sentence, the picture suddenly went out.

Blood drops appeared in the black screen, gradually turning into two words tracking, but the blood faded again and again, with light and shadow intertwined, like the sunset rays shining out from the gaps of black paper-cutting.

The picture is cut, and all the background music has disappeared, leaving only a panic-ridden silence.

In the camera, Jiang Tong, standing empty-handed, her pupils flashed, her face was pale, her mouth was open, she wanted to speak but found that she could not make any sound, her hands were empty, and her feet were covered with lollipops.

A lollipop rolled to the feet of the man standing opposite him. He picked up the candy with his bloody hands and handed it to Jiang Tong.

The last shot is a close-up of Gao Kun.

He wiped his face with his bloody hands and smiled at Jiang Tong, or the audience.

Silent, twisted, terrifying. Desperate smile.

The picture was once again completely black, and the list of main creators appeared on the screen. The last line in the trailer was in his ears, his voice trembling, but he was filled with a sense of unyielding hardship.

"Doesn't you die?"

Although he had seen all the shots, this starting trailer still shocked Xia Xiqing, especially Gao Kun's last laugh, which was the first time he met Jiang Tong when his mentality completely collapsed.

Xia Xiqing was surprised that in terms of art, the director did adopt his suggestion. The color tone in the trailer was different from the dark, cold and hard tones used in many realistic films in the past, and it was some very rich and even viscous high-saturation and low-brightness color settings.

Mossy-like emerald green walls, bright red viscous blood, light green filters at night in convenience store, mint-colored culverts, orange-red lollipops and sunset in sugar-water slices.

"In Jiang Tong's eyes, the world is good and bad. He wants to survive because of this. Moreover, he likes painting. Such a person who likes art in his bones, no matter how bad the world is, in his eyes, is also a decadent beauty."

This is Xia Xiqing's original words, and it is so wonderful to re-released into images through a whole production team.

Once the trailer was released, it was hotly discussed by netizens. Not to mention anything else, the traffic of these two starring actors is almost unparalleled at the moment, but they are different from traditional traffic. One of them is a 20-generation national actor who has been acting for more than ten years. The films starring almost have no bad movies. It is rare to go to an art school to be admitted to a prestigious school with his abilities.

Another one is even more legendary. He became famous overnight by his face. In fact, he was a painter who created an oil painting at the age of fifteen who sold an auction price of 800,000 yuan. After experiencing the storm of coming out, he almost became a pioneer in the lgbt group.

These two people gathered together, and a new director who won awards abroad through independent films many times, and many sensitive topics, it is difficult not to be discussed by the public.

[@Study for me: an alpha who doesn't want to be a physicist is not a good actor.]

[@Fan's sweetest CP: A beauty who doesn't want to be a good actor is not a good painter.]

[@Fake Clever: Oh my god, that smile made me feel goosebumps after watching it. I swear I am not a fan of Zhou!]

[@Am I sick: Zhou Ziheng should win the prize, I smelled the nomination after reading the trailer.]

[@花南南南南: I originally saw Xia Xiqing didn't want to watch it very much [the meaning of not scolding him is to question his professionalism in performance, but after watching the trailer, I actually felt really good???]

[@ohlala: Xia Xiqing is so beautiful... [Addicted to beauty and cannot think]]

[@swood: No traffic movies are watched, fans are simply controlling comments. Aren’t you embarrassed?]

[@Whoever gets married first is the dog: I'll go with long legs on the screen... Zhou Ziheng's red hair is so handsome. I didn't recognize it at first sight. The smile in the end was so evil!]

[@Movie Pan: From the perspective of the trailer, the production is still very conscientious. Whether it is the camera or the music, the sincerity of the producer, and the tone is very special. On the contrary, it feels like the more gorgeous the more miserable it is. When I heard the last line, I did get goosebumps. Zhou Ziheng is an excellent student in the film industry. His good performance as always will make everyone ignore his efforts. I think this movie may give him an award. In addition, Xia Xiqing's last appearance was still very surprised. His previous appearance had an indelible temperament of the upper class, which was born, but it was worn out in the movie, which was very consistent with the movie's setting of "born like an ant", which was unexpectedly good.]

[@Ours: I was not interested in it at first. Many people mentioned this film when Xia Xiqing came out before, saying that he was promiscuous and AIDS so that he acted in this film. At that time, I felt that some people were so dirty that they could not watch it. Now it seems that this movie is really a sincere work. How many people dare to touch this subject? I would also support a movie ticket for Xia Xiqing's strong desire to come out.]

Although there are many discordant voices, especially a group of homophobic middle-aged straight male netizens accumulated in October storm, most of the voices are good. The quality of the trailer is here, so it is hard not to be convinced.

Xia Xiqing is a person who is not very shaken by other people's evaluations, but when he is affirmed, no matter who he is, he will feel moved.

Being a surprise under low expectations is a lucky and happy thing.

As the main creator, Xia Xiqing cooperated very well to forward the trailer on the official Weibo.

[@tsing_summer: I'm not wrong with being a human being.]

If Jiang Tong was played by another actor, the reposting would not cause any discussion. It happened that Xia Xiqing, who had experienced the outgoing storm, could easily allow everyone to fall into Xia Xiqing's perspective and create a subtle empathy, which further binds the actors and roles.

Soon, Zhou Ziheng, who was shooting a perfume advertisement, also reposted it on Weibo.

[@Actor Zhou Ziheng: Hello Gao Kun, you are not wrong.]

Xia Xiqing became busy in December. It was precisely because of the previous storm on the Internet that the art museum exposed, which attracted explosive passenger flow. Although most of them had little understanding of art, it was better to have many people than to be lonely. Xia Xiqing also cared for the attitude of doing a good job and kept the things left by his mother seriously. When he encountered this situation, he had to work overtime with his team to hold meetings and make some plans to limit traffic. At the same time, he also specially made some special activities for non-professionals, similar to art science popularization.

Originally, he thought that these things would not be as busy as anything, but in practice it was much more troublesome. A man like him who had only painted since childhood now had to learn the experience of management from scratch. For the Friday art gallery event, Xia Xiqing stayed up for three or four nights, personally selected the collections for display, and invited well-known domestic art masters to give lectures. Even Zhou Ziheng, who has always been busy with him, felt distressed.

"Why do you work so hard?" Zhou Ziheng draped the thick blanket on Xia Xiqing who was sitting in front of the workbench. He was still lying in front of the case to modify the design plan.

Xia Xiqing raised his head and turned his neck, "Do you know why Jiang Tong is so poor that he still has to work several jobs to rent that old rental house? He can only rent a single room and live a better life by himself."

This is something outside the script. Zhou Ziheng hesitated for a moment and suddenly understood.

But he didn't say it out loud. Xia Xiqing just smiled and lowered his head to continue.

Zhou Ziheng hugged him from behind and kissed his head.

Because Jiang Tong wanted to keep the house he and his mother lived with.

On Friday, at 3:00 pm, the event planned by Xia Xiqing began. As the owner of the art museum, he also attended the event in full dress. Many Xia Xiqing's fans came down on the stage. Since he had already explained it online in advance, these fans were also very obedient and did not have support such as light card signs. They came very low-key, no noisy, and very orderly.

Xia Xiqing specially made a flower basket with his own hands and asked fans to put the letters in the basket, but not long after the event started, the flower basket was already full of traversals and could no longer be stuffed.

"Boss, many people have brought gifts, do you accept them?"

I thought it was the norm in the fan circle, but Xia Xiqing shook her head, "I won't accept gifts, letters are OK."
