Just receiving Li Yan’s audition invitation, rather than an explicit role invitation, can make Xia Rong so excited. This is because Li Yan’s “state of the river and lakes” in the directorship can access his resources and benefit the younger generation. Xiaosheng, and even any domestic actor, is a great honor.

Li Yan is a foreign Chinese. During his undergraduate study, Li Yan studied in the U.S. and Ouzhou countries, and settled in the U.S. Because of the lack of nationality restrictions and prejudices, he is more widely accepted internationally, and his shooting style is more romantic and diverse. The first film he shot in college won the Best Short Feature Film Award at the Kashiwagi Film Festival, and then he won Awards continue.

His early style is known for his extreme gorgeousness and romance, and his pursuit of lens and light and shadow has reached its peak. He is known as the "magician of light and shadow". Almost every scene of the movie can be painted. His enthusiastic foreign fans even took screenshots frame by frame, analyzing the color matching and composition of each scene, which sounds exaggerated, but the final analysis result is that most of his lenses are full of strict requirements for photography: symmetrical composition of the picture. , V-shaped composition, diagonal composition, rule of thirds composition, even golden ratio spiral composition...

This analysis allowed him to be kindly booed up as "the strongest director of obsessive-compulsive disorder in history". It also made him famous in China, knowing that there is such a powerful young Chinese director abroad.

But for some reason, a few years ago, Li Yan suddenly put down all work and thanked guests behind closed doors for two full years. In the past two years, he has not had any works and almost no news. If the dedicated paparazzi squatted at his door for two years as a day, the masses would really worry about what happened to him.

After disappearing for two years, he made a comeback and filmed a martial arts film "The Wind Stop" with a strong national flavor. When the audience went with the mentality of enjoying the visual feast again, they were caught off guard by the heart of the story that was heavy and cold and directed at the heart. Touched. Two years of silence and precipitation have transformed Li Yan’s style from extreme gorgeousness and romance to a rather simple and melancholic pragmatic style: Although the composition and color use like obsessive-compulsive disorder still exist, the focus is obviously more inclined. Yu, how to express a story.

"The Wind Stops" allowed Li Yan to get six nominations at the Oshka Academy Awards, and finally won the Oshka Academy Awards for Best Director. At 37 years old, he is still very young in the director circle. He has become the leading representative of Asian Chinese directors.

With Li Yan's current status, Xia Rong wasn't even sure whether he knew him or not, but now he suddenly received an invitation from him to try out the show. This is simply overwhelming.

"How did Li Yan know about me?" Because of nervousness, Xia Rong kept asking questions with Shuyi, "Is he going to enter the domestic market, so he has sent invitations to all young students of the same age?"

"Impossible." Shuyi said, "I asked Fang Ru. She said that Ye Mang had not received the invitation. There are also some agents. In their style, if their artists really received Li Yan's invitation, they will announce it now. It's flying all over the sky. Although some of the population is very windy and it's still uncertain, Li Yan's test show is definitely not a large-scale cast net."

"Ah..." Xia Rong still felt a little unreal.

"It's okay. Li Yan has never been the kind of director who only chooses big-name actors. He only chooses the most suitable person." Shuyi said. "A few years ago, when he filmed "Night in Serbia", the actor was still nothing. School students with acting experience, don’t they become Harlem superstars now? Well, you can talk about these related situations when you interview him. But now, the trial playbook has been passed on, I suggest you Think about it...make a decision."

The sloppy serious tone made Xia Rong also be prepared for the script that is about to be passed on. After he really opened the script, he found that sloppy prudence and asking him to consider it really made sense——

This is a gay movie.

Nowadays, social public opinion is dominated by the Internet, and its tolerance for the word "homosexuality" seems to have increased a lot, but in fact, in a more general secular sense, the acceptance by ordinary people is far less than what appears on the Internet. High, and there have always been negative shadows such as fraudulent marriages and sex, which have been hanging over this marginal group.

Xia Rong is a mainstream young idol with mainly female fans. Although there seems to be a lot of "rotten fans" among fans, he is keen to pair him with other men, cute CP, draw pictures, and cut videos, but Two-dimensional cute CP, and their idol really become gay, in their cognition is completely different.

If he appeared in a gay movie, the impact on him, whether positive or negative, would be difficult to predict and estimate——

Because in the past ten years, there has never been a popular traffic star who dares to do this.

Although on the cover of the script, under the movie name "Waiting for the Aurora", the brightly labeled "homosexual theme" made Xia Rong feel a little sinking, but he still couldn't help the temptation of "Directed by Li Yan" and continued to open the script.

With this turn, it turned to dark.

Today, Xia Rong finished work earlier, and he was anxious to ask about the follow-up progress, so he went back to the hotel first. Su Chi still had a scene to be filmed, and didn't return to his room until almost eight in the evening.

He watched Xia Rong still nesting in the small sofa on the balcony, turning over something intently, and asked him, "Have you eaten? The trial playbook has been delivered?"

"Not yet..." Xia Rong has read the plot summary and trial drama over and over several times. At the moment, he is searching for the original novel on his mobile phone.

"Waiting for the Aurora" is also adapted from a novel, but this time the original is a documentary novel called "The Days I Survived in Antarctica". The original author is a Danmairen and tells about his and a partner going to Antarctica to see the Aurora At that time, because of an avalanche and the tour group separated. He and his friends trek through the Antarctic Circle and found a hut left by the former scientific research personnel. The hut still had food, fuel and so on. They used the hut as a "base" to survive forty-five days in Antarctica. Finally, Rescued. And he and his little partner, in these forty-five days of desperation, also sprouted an extraordinary sentiment.

Danmai is a country where same-sex marriages are legal, and the "I" in the novel is a relatively careless man. Therefore, most of the time in the novel is depicting the Antarctic landscapes, landscapes, flora and fauna, weather changes, and their adventures. Survival income. In the end, being with your friends is a matter of course and natural. There is no too much entanglement, not much ink, and it makes people smile.

The script of "Waiting for the Aurora" has made a drastic adaptation of this novel, from a documentary novel that is more like popular science, into a tragic Jedi love. The protagonist of the story was changed from Danmai to Chinese. From the beginning, the firm and friendly partnership was changed to two strangers who were forced to bind, from disagreeable and tit-for-tat, to shaking hands and making peace. Cooperation, and then the process of initiating affection and struggling, makes the story more dramatic.

Seeing this, Xia Rong understood why Li Yan chose to invite young domestic actors. Two roles, one is enthusiastic and bright, and the other is arrogant and unruly. Although the two characters have different personalities, they collide with each other and they are both bold and vigorous. With indomitable vitality, this kind of role cannot be played by non-young people, nor can young people who are not good-looking enough play that effect.

The character Xia Rong wants to play is called Ran Yi, a young man who looks cheerful and energetic. However, as the story progresses, his cheerful and sunny appearance will be slowly torn apart, revealing his fragility and melancholy through his solitary and gloomy childhood, suffering from domestic violence.

The ending written in the script is that Ran Yi's leg was injured during a hunting trip. When finally hoped to be rescued, the two had to travel three kilometers to the designated place where the plane landed. Another protagonist, Yan Jun, used the tools in the cabin to create a simple sled, and he wanted to pull Ran Yi along. On the night before leaving, Ran Yi and Yan Jun saw their purpose of going to the South Pole-the aurora. Under the brilliant aurora, Ran Yi leaned in Yan Jun’s arms and said: "Rather than go back to the city and waste love. , Finally parted ways with you, why not leave my time in Antarctica forever, the dead will never grow old..."

It didn’t say whether Ran Yi died, whether they were rescued or not. It seems to be an open, but tragic ending. However, there is an ellipsis at the end of the script, and it seems that it is not impossible to have a turnaround...

Xia Rong sighed at the script for a long time, and even Su Chi on the side almost ignored it--until the other's spoon was gently fed into his mouth.

"I asked about the hotel. You haven't called for service since you came up, and there are no leftover bags in the room. You probably haven't eaten yet." Su Chi smiled, "Is the script so beautiful?"

Xia Rong swallowed subconsciously, and the sour and sweet taste permeated his mouth. The smooth and delicious hot porridge slipped all the way down the esophagus into the stomach. He looked down and saw that it was a bowl of wolfberry and hawthorn porridge, both appetizing and appetizing. Without being overly stimulating, the emotions of being immersed in the story for one afternoon and one night are instantly replaced by the smoke and fire in the world, causing people to start their appetites and move their index fingers.

Looking at the table behind Su Chi, there were indeed the home-cooked dishes he loved, including meat, vegetables, and soup. It was probably made by the hotel, but he didn't even hear it.

Xia Rong sat down at the table and waited for him to fill up his stomach, before remembering to answer Su Chi: "The script is very good, and Li Yan has always had the ability to make simple emotions to touch people. I believe him, but……"

"But what?"

Xia Rong pointed out the line on the cover of the script to Su Chi: "This is a gay movie." He raised his head and glanced at Su Chi who was standing aside, "I don't know if I want to go."

"Hmm..." Su Chi also pondered for a moment, and said, "Isn't the other male lead? Then stop acting."

"Ah?!" Xia Rong didn't really care about not acting, but he was shocked, and he actually said this from Su Chi.

"It's funny." Su Chi smiled and squeezed his face and said, "It's true that there are few popular nipples who dare to touch homosexuality. In case the filming is broken, it's okay to throw a movie and destroy the public image The gain is not worth the loss."

"But can Li Yan shoot it up?" Xia Rong felt that he had touched the key to solving the conflict.

Su Chi smiled and said, "I don't think it can either."

"I have another concern," Xia Rong said, "Li Yan has made a movie longer than Director Xu Ping. I am afraid that we will not stay with you for too long, we will..."

"You don't need to worry too much about this." Su Chi said, "Li Yan always uses real-life shooting. When the filming of "Lanzhou" is finished, Antarctica should enter winter. The winter Antarctica is very unfavorable for the shooting environment. The crew should still choose Shooting in summer. There is still a long time before the summer in Antarctica. If we have not completely resolved Yu Chengchang during this period, then I will rest for a period of time, as a family member to accompany the group."

"What family..." Xia Rong joked, "Are you going to watch me by the way?"

"It's really necessary..."

"Hey, are you so worried about me? I'm not interested in other men!"

"Don't worry..." Seeing that Xia Rong has a tendency to explode, Su Chi stretched out his hand and squeezed his nose, "I'm not worried that you will like others, I don't worry about you."

The logical relationship seems to be a bit complicated... Xia Rong unconsciously pinched his nose and opened his mouth slightly as he concentrated on combing.

Su Chi leaned down and bit his warm lips: "Go and try, no matter whether you succeed or not, I will stay with you."
