Shen Que, a top idol with 80 million fans. The corners of his mouth were raised, the arc was correct, and there was a gap of one heartbeat in the middle - it took him three years to carve this smile out in front of the mirror, one by one. But no one knew that the masseter muscle on his right face would feel a dull pain late at night because it had maintained this arc for a long time.
Cheng Jianshen is a has-been director who has not had a film shortlisted for three years. Addiction to taking apart pens is not a hobby, but a somatic response to an anxiety disorder. There are rumors in the industry that he has exhausted his talents, but only he himself knows that he is afraid - afraid that he will lose even his last bit of self-esteem by making another movie.
Capital tied them together for three months. In front of the camera, one is a humble junior, and the other is a strict senior; behind the camera, one is counting how long the hot search terms will last, and the other is taking apart the fourth rollerball pen. The cap of the pen collapsed into the crack of the sofa and cannot be found again.
Who controls the set, who controls the public opinion field, who controls the heartbeat - they themselves don't know. In other words, I don't dare to admit it even if I know it.
It's not a sudden heartbeat, it's a sudden discovery - it turns out that you, like me, are all just pretending.
Concept: All carefully designed performances are invitations waiting to be seen through.
The game in front of the camera becomes a mirror, reflecting each other's true weaknesses.
The most dangerous thing is not public opinion, but the person in the other party's eyes who has finally taken off his guard.
