Chapter 964 "Heart Shadow Link" (VIII)
This picture has a strange contrast and balance. Tang Nuo is about 20 centimeters shorter than Qin Jue, but she holds a long sword with a strong presence in her hand, while the tall Qin Jue only uses a dagger to resist her attack. The clothes of the two still retain the cold and soft "personalities" in the online game, but the aura they show at this time is very similar to that in reality. Through them, it seems that we can see the strong Jiang Rong and the gentle Liao Jingchen.
Yes. Everyone reacted after realizing it. It has always been these two people.
Staff who are not familiar with the original work always think that "Heart Shadow Link" is just an adaptation with a novel and pleasing setting, and they regard the main characters as four independent characters in their hearts. However, the original work explores a question through this contrast between the external and the internal:
Is the "I" facing others the "I", or is the "I" when I am alone the real "I"?
Then Liao Jingchen and Jiang Rong's story from meeting to parting in the "other world" gave the answer-both are, and they cannot be separated.
Liao Jingchen thought that kindness and politeness were just the appearance that he had to maintain after being domesticated by his family. However, after years of acting, "gentleness" had already permeated his heart and become his own essence.
Jiang Rong also thought that she had to show an independent and strong appearance due to the situation. However, after a long time of tempering, this delicate daughter in the eyes of her mother did become resolute and strong in her growth again and again.
We are all multifaceted, and we are constantly changing. Acknowledging and accepting ourselves at every stage is the real reconciliation.
This is what the original author expressed between the lines.
After being adapted into a script, these can also be traced. The later the story is, the closer the temperament and behavior patterns revealed by Jingchen and Rongrong are to their real selves.
The only difference is that Jingchen, who was pointed out by Rongrong several times for his gentle nature and dissipated a lot of hostility, finally chose to close himself and stayed there forever with a mood of seeing death as home, while Rongrong, who faced the "God", successfully reached a reconciliation, affirmed his own strength, and no longer denied the softness in his heart, and became a better self from then on.
The two weapons collided continuously in the open space. Because it was said early in the morning that this was just a rehearsal, Tang Nuo did not get into the role, and she pressed Qin Jue with her own moves.
The crowd gradually felt awe, and the target was Tang Nuo.
She could actually fight Qin Jue on equal terms!
Of course, it was a bit exaggerated to say that they were on equal terms. After all, those with better dynamic vision could find that Qin Jue gave Tang Nuo a hand, and it was his right hand that he used.
But even so, if you put yourself in Tang Nuo's perspective, everyone still felt that I really couldn't do it.
The "ding ding dang dang" sound had been ringing for five minutes and it hadn't stopped. Qin Jue could only block but not attack, while Tang Nuo attacked repeatedly, and his strength was undiminished. Just this physical strength made people feel ashamed, and the prop masters who knew the weight of Tang Nuo's knives were even more astonished.
"It's worth being a professional..." someone muttered.
Tang Nuo, who firmly occupied everyone's attention, fought very beautifully, but her strength was fierce, and her movements were mostly open and closed. Together with her cute outfit and appearance, she looked strangely cute, like a brightly colored candy wrapped in exquisite packaging, and suddenly four shiny large guillotines were taken out from behind the candy wrapper. Anyone would be stunned.
Clang!
The back of the dagger collided with the blade of the Tang sword. Tang Nuo quickly withdrew her hand and changed the angle to chop again.
After all, she was inexperienced. Qin Jue had figured out her routine in such a short time, and parrying became more and more handy.
Freeze frame, circle can be added at any time, physical contact...
Qin Jue was distracted thinking in the interval between the fights.
From the beginning of the drill to now, her response was mainly blocking. On the surface, Tang Nuo was constantly attacking, but the actual rhythm of the battle was in her hands.
After thinking for a while, Qin Jue used the dagger to scrape the blade when the Tang sword was coming, and then turned around and kicked. The action was quick but the force was light. The boot hit Tang Nuo's wrist, and the toes lifted it again.
"Ah!Σ(_)"
Tang Nuo's Tang sword slipped out of his hand, spinning in the air and inserted into the soft cushion not far away, shocking everyone on the sidelines to take two steps back.
Turning her head to look at the sword, she saw Qin Jue seemed to have a flaw in her peripheral vision. Tang Nuo did not hesitate and followed the same method with a side kick. Qin Jue, who deliberately guided her, smiled slightly under the mask and raised the dagger upwards.
In a flash, Tang Nuo caught the ownerless dagger and threw herself at Qin Jue.
Qin Jue pretended to be hit by her, fell backwards and fell on the soft cushion.
Tang Nuo then successfully rode on Qin Jue's waist, changed to holding the dagger handle with both hands, and stabbed straight down after accumulating power for a second.
"Wait!!!"
The crowd of onlookers were almost scared to death. Just as they said something to stop him, Tang Nuo's dagger stabbed down!
"Ah, ..."
Nothing happened.
Qin Jue calmly tilted his head at the critical moment, letting the dagger pierce the cushion.
She pressed her own rabbit into her arms and patted her back.
"Uh-oh--" Tang Nuo groaned twice, obviously not losing her mind due to the beating, and her consciousness was always clear.
She propped herself up from Qin Jue and tried to pull out the dagger.
She pulled it out, but it didn't come out.
Tang Nuo: (ω)...
Qin Jue laughed under the mask: "Did you stab too hard just now?"
"Woo." Tang Nuo wilted.
Qin Jue sat up, pulled out the dagger and played a knife flower, folded the blade back, and then pulled Tang Nuo up.
There were already many people standing around the two of them, all of whom had just rushed up in panic, including Tang Nuo's agent and the martial arts instructor.
Sun Guangshan and others who were busy with other work also heard the commotion here and seemed to be rushing over.
"Teacher Wei, can you see when it would be better to add a circle?"
Qin Jue took off his mask while speaking, and used practical actions to show that everything that had just happened was nothing serious.
Martial arts instructor Wei Jie was stunned for a moment before saying, "Oh, okay."
"Why are there so many people?" Qin Jue handed the mask to Zhang Ming, and took the "recycled" Tang sword from him. His expression was natural, as if he was just asking casually, "Everyone should stand further away, we are going to shoot a comparison video."
"Uh, this."
The conversation was taken away by Qin Jue first. The group of people opened their mouths, but couldn't say anything at this time, so they had to retreat embarrassedly.
"Come on, start again, from..."
Qin Jue turned around and communicated with Tang Nuo.
Even if the fighting scenes are shot with multiple cameras, they are rarely shot in one take, so usually during rehearsal, they will shoot videos from several angles to facilitate the reproduction and correction of details.
Tang Nuo participated in the shooting of fighting scenes very early, and he was experienced in this. He was very skilled in slowing down with Qin Jue to demonstrate to the martial arts director, and stopped at any time according to the instructions to adapt to the newly added actions, such as the circle that was not practical but looked good.
The agent stood at the edge of the open space, hesitant to speak.
Of course, the crew also prepared martial arts doubles for Tang Nuo, and even hired two, but she didn't expect that one of them was not paying attention, and she followed Qin Jue to rehearse, and she had no intention of letting the doubles at the moment.
How could this be?
What if she got injured?
And the knife and the dagger just now, how dangerous!
The agent kept struggling. Although he was the executive agent of Canhua Entertainment, he had also followed many artists and was quite familiar with the filming on the set. Normally, let alone martial arts scenes, even literary scenes do not require actors to rehearse in person. Actors only need to wait for the director to come and invite them, then stand in position, and go through the lines twice after filming. Why do I feel that the crew of "Heart and Shadow Link" has suddenly gone off the track?
