Chapter 373 Stars' Stories Meeting (Earth)

"...Heaven does exist, and we used to call it hell, or Mount Olympus." Truman said, "I have only explored a part of it, but I confirm that it is the place after death. where to go.”

"It's a good beginning of a philosophical essay, and now I'm interested." Xiao Li asked the prop master to bring a pipe and filled it with shredded tobacco. This is the character he added to himself.

"Jack, I think this is more like the beginning of a novel." Long Ma finally got on board, and she found a line for herself.

As a top actor, Xiao Lizi's performance is full of faith, which makes people believe that he is the well-informed professor of philosophy. Compared with him, Truman is not inferior, and his tone is full of a sense of storytelling.

"It can also be regarded as the beginning of a novel." Truman said, now everyone is looking at Wesley, you have been sitting here for a long time, don't you want to give yourself a line?

"You guys are so funny~" Wesley said, "Think you're acting? Then I need a beer."

Although this sentence has little to do with the main line, it is also consistent with Wesley's image positioning in this short script: a scumbag.

"I have a question. In your story, what happens to people after they die?" Xiao Lizi asked.

"Professor, there is a criterion for judging this. I don't know if you have noticed. In myths and stories all over the world, there is a 'measurement' of the soul after death. In our Chinese mythology, there is a god named 'Yan Wang', In Egyptian mythology, the human soul and a feather are placed on both ends of the scale, and in Mexican mythology, the soul will disappear as long as it is forgotten..."

Truman held his notes, and like a well-prepared student, he laid out his arguments one by one.

Xiao Lizi kept nodding, and sometimes corrected Truman's wrong description of the myth-these knowledge points came from the director's off-site prompts.

Feng Zikai sometimes held up a sign to remind the actors on the stage what to do, sometimes it was some lines, including all kinds of knowledge, and sometimes it was an emotion or an action. For example, what he often raised to Wesley was " Stop talking nonsense."

"What's the conclusion?" Xiao Lizi asked.

"People will become words after death." Truman said, "The human soul will remain in words. If he is described by enough words, he will become a heroic spirit and exist in that heaven."

"How much is enough?" Long Ma asked, "How much is enough for our family to engrave on my grandma's tombstone?"

"I also have a family tree, about this thick." Wesley said holding a beer, and drew it with his finger, about half a centimeter, "Will all the ancestors of my family go to heaven?"

"Unfortunately, that's not enough." Truman shook his head, "According to my understanding, at least one million people must know him and remember him before he can become a heroic spirit."

"In your theory, is there no soul that becomes a heroic spirit?" Xiao Li asked.

"I think they will be resurrected in heaven, but they will not have the memory of this life..." Truman said.

The conversation continues.

Camera footage is recording.

Originally, all the participants and staff thought that they were shooting an inflorescence film about "Spawn" as a substitute for everyone not working normally during the week of studio construction.

However, Truman's narration is really attractive. It is also very interesting to watch Truman and Li Xiaozi's acting skills. Coupled with the embarrassing expressions of Longma and Wesley who often can't catch up with the rhythm, it is a bit like a reality show. , quite fun.

But that's not really a plot point.

Just a few people chatting constantly.

We chatted for seven days.

The odd night of conversation didn't end until Spawn's Disney set was built and filming resumed on Spawn.

Including McFarland also joined the conversation. He drew up a role identity for himself. He was Xiao Lizi's colleague. Because he was very curious about Truman's thesis, he came to Xiao Lizi's house with a bottle of red wine and joined the conversation. in this conversation.

……

The end of April.

Xiao Lizi came to the set in his nanny car.

The nanny car is also provided by the crew, and the daily rent is as high as 5000 US dollars, which is the content of Xiao Lizi's contract.

Before arriving at the Disney studio, you have to go through those outside the studio... Well, Xiao Li doesn't know whether to call it a "fan" or a "believer".

In short, since "Spawn" moved the filming location to Disney, a large number of people gathered outside the Disney headquarters every day. They held up "CHIYU" or "CH" or "Truman" lights, or stood solemnly, or chanted words, It's not as fanatical as the usual celebrity fans.

Xiao Lizi watched these people through the car window.

"They are all followers of CHIYU and fans of Truman." The manager told him, "Now CHIYU is very large in Los Angeles."

"CH said that it was because of their existence that the filming of "Spawn" went smoothly, at least the studio did not catch fire." Xiao Lizi said.

Ha~ The manager showed a smile, as a Christian, of course he would not believe in Chiyu.

Xiao Lizi glanced at his manager. He didn't want to talk about religion anymore, but he was really interested in Truman. He said, "CH is a miraculous person."

"So you take his word for it? I think you enjoyed that 'story meeting' very much," said the agent.

Conversation means that the leading actors and McFarlane will gather together every now and then, immersed in their own another identity, to discuss Truman's 'story'.

It felt like playing a TRPG (paper role-playing) game on paper. At the beginning, the participants in the story were only themselves, and then they began to imagine what would happen if they entered the world described by Truman.

"That's very interesting. We are setting up a new career system to deal with the daughter of doom who burned down our studio at Time Warner Studios." Xiao Li said amusedly.

"If this has nothing to do with "Spawn", then they can't use these materials, otherwise it is beyond the contract and violated your portrait rights." The agent said.

"Don't be so harsh." Xiao Li shook his head and smiled, "I like this set, it will help my acting skills."

"You really think so?" The manager looked at Xiao Li with a little surprise.

Although Xiao Lizi was accused by Truman of exaggerated acting skills, no one would take it seriously, especially the agent, who only felt that Truman did not know the heights of heaven and earth.

But now Xiao Lizi admitted it personally.

"Yes, sometimes you have to admit that CH has some truths..." Xiao Lizi said, thinking for a while, and then said: "I don't know how CH does it, but he can indeed be like a ruler He can control his body, expression, and even the emotions he expresses, and he can turn into another person without any trace of himself, this kind of acting is amazing."
