100 ways to stop a stand-in

Jiang You looked at the scarlet characters in a daze until they gradually faded from his mind.For this sudden warning, Jiang You wanted to ask the system what it meant, but all the questions fell like stones on the bottom of the sea, and he did not get the slightest response. Jiang You could feel his connection with the system, but he could not hear the system. any explanation.

Do not trust anyone.

At this moment, there was a very rhythmic knock on the door in the quiet hotel room, Jiang You's face was startled, and then he seemed to think of something, and quickly restrained the previous heaviness in his heart Get up, get up from the bed and go to open the door.

After the door was opened, there was a man wearing a crumpled light blue shirt standing outside the door, perhaps because he was too thin, the man was obviously tall, but he gave off an extremely thin feeling.

It is not so much a man as a big boy in his early 20s. His skin is very white, with a very sickly paleness. The blue stubble on his chin and the thick dark circles under his eyes make him look more haggard. They all exude an extremely gloomy aura. If there is anything outstanding about his whole body, the only thing left is his pair of amazingly bright eyes.

Almost the moment he saw the man, Jiang You recognized him. This man was just like the one he remembered when he first met, and they fit together perfectly.

A flash of excitement flashed in Jiang You's eyes, he opened his mouth, he had a thousand words to say in his heart, but found that he didn't know what to say.Before he could speak, the man said first, "Hi, my name is Chan Ning, I'm sorry to bother you because I have a script in my hand, and there is a character in it that I think is very suitable for you. I don't know if you have any." Are you interested in thinking about it?" His voice was very low, so low that if you don't listen carefully, you may not be able to hear clearly.

After saying this, Qian Ning's hands tightly clutched the strap of the shoulder bag in front of him, his knuckles turned white from too much force, and his bright black eyes drooped down, not daring to look at Jiang You again glance.

"I..." Jiang You opened his mouth, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

Qian Ning raised his head suddenly, his voice was full of apprehension and panic, as if he was about to cry in the next second: "I, I am not a liar, here is my ID card, graduation certificate and resume, you...you Can you not refuse in a hurry, can you, can you read the script before making a decision?" After speaking, he quickly opened his shoulder bag with his hand, and searched for something inside.

Looking at Qian Ning like this, Jiang You felt as if something was stuck in his heart, which almost made him out of breath. He stretched out his hand to hold down Qian Ning's frantically rummaging hand, took a deep breath, and smiled, Said: "Okay, come in, let's take a look at the script first."

Many people know that Jiang You officially entered the entertainment circle because of "Backlight", and because of this, he won the favor of Xiang An, and has since entered the public's field of vision, but after becoming famous, he rarely mentioned this film to the outside world. 's debut work.

Many people have criticized him because of this, thinking that he is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, because the subject matter of "Backlight" is too marginal and extremely controversial, and he refuses to mention it to others for fear of affecting his future. Many sunspots are also tightly grasping this point.

But even so, Jiang You never gave any explanation for this. Even though the company and his agent asked him to come forward to clarify many times, he was finally rejected by him. Perhaps it was because his silent attitude completely stimulated the imagination of the sunspots. The space has led to a long period of time when Jiang You's name is mentioned, and someone will use this black material to make brainwashing bags, adding a lot of unwarranted YY to brainwash passers-by and fans.

If it weren't for Jiang You's real strength, good works were filmed one after another, and they were well received and well received, maybe it might really hinder his career development because of this.

In fact, few people know that Jiang You has been evasive and unwilling to explain, not because the subject matter is too marginal, fear of being blocked or other bullshit reasons. If he was really afraid of these things, he would not have agreed to take over this from the very beginning. movie.The real reason why he has been avoiding mentioning "Backlight" is actually very simple, just because "Backlight" is too heavy for him, and it involves deeply. "will only hurt, not help.

Many people know that "Backlight" was nominated for the Golden Lion Award, but few people have actually seen this movie. Although it has been released abroad and gained a very good reputation, it has been criticized in China because of the subject matter. It is sensitive and failed to pass the review, so it cannot be put on the shelves.

Because I don’t know it, I have no way of understanding it. No one knows that on the night when "Backlight" was released, Qian Ning sat in the movie theater with Jiang You and watched the whole premiere in silence. .

Maybe someone will notice this unreleased movie later because of Jiang You's relationship. They can only learn about this story from the brief introduction, and just watch it. But only Jiang You knows, "Backlight" As for Chan Ning, Exactly how significant it is.

After filming "Backlight", Jiang You desperately wanted to climb up. Only by standing at the top of the pyramid can he attract everyone's attention. Only when he is good enough can he turn attention into influence. When his own influence reaches a certain level, he may be able to fulfill Qian Ning's last wish.Jiang You used to work so hard to stand at the top, and he was only one step away from the top throne, but the reality is often so dramatic, when he is about to shine on the international stage, When he was finally about to be able to speak up for Channing, the well-planned car accident disrupted everything.

Do you regret it, of course it is regrettable, even if you try your best, you still can't fulfill your friend's last wish in the end, how can you not regret it.

Jiang You looked at the nervous big boy in front of him, with a smile on his face, and said, "It's a bit rough here, I hope you don't mind."

Qian Ning shook his head vigorously, perhaps because he was infected by Jiang You's attitude, Qian Ning gradually relaxed, no longer as tense as before, he took out a thick notebook, which was properly written The bag was covered with a clean light blue book cover, and two vigorous characters were handwritten on the cover with a pen: "Backlight"

The corners of the light blue cover are somewhat rough, but there are no creases, which is enough to show that its owner should read it often, and read it with extreme care, and should cherish it very much.

Qian Ning saw the two big and powerful characters on the cover, and lost his mind for a moment, but Jiang You just sat there quietly and waited, and didn't interrupt him until he came back to himself, raised his head in a panic. But his eyes met Jiang You's peaceful and tolerant eyes, the original panic faded a bit, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

He handed the thick book to Jiang You, and said, "This is the script, you should read it first." As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and began to search for something in his backpack, and finally found it. He took out a piece of paper, put it on the notebook, and handed it over together.

"This is my business card. If you finish reading, please call me and I will come to pick it up." Qian Ning carefully looked up at Jiang You, and added cautiously with some hesitation: "Whether you end up What is your decision, can you promise me one thing, please be careful when you read it."

Jiang You took it carefully in his sight, nodded with a smile, and said solemnly: "Okay." He sent Channing outside the hotel before returning to the room by himself.

Sitting by the bed, he took the script that was cherished by the master, the familiar cover and the familiar handwriting. He had thought about this script countless times, and it was deeply rooted in his mind, which made him unable to let go of it for a long time. Now this The script actually appeared in front of him again, recalling the face of Qian Ning at the time of parting, Jiang You sighed, stretched out his hand and gently opened the light blue cover.

Just like in memory, there is a sentence written on the title page, the place where the sun cannot shine-backlight.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a novel than a script, which is actually not rigorous.I believe that when they saw the name of the script, many people actually had some vague guesses, yes, this is a story about homosexuality.The protagonist of the story is named Chen Xi. On the first day of entering the university, he meets Lu Yuan, a senior who came to welcome the freshman. The two hit it off very well and soon became very good friends. Unconsciously, as time goes by, they continue to ferment, and gradually develop into a relationship that is closer than friends.

Lu Yuan first discovered his own sexual orientation. After a short period of confusion and panic, the two began to carefully test each other's attitudes. In the end, Lu Yuan finally saw his heart clearly, confessed his love to Chen Xi, and was accepted by Chen Xi Since then, the relationship between the two has become closer. For Chen Xi and Lu Yuan, that time was the happiest and most peaceful time. The two made detailed plans for the future, full of With countless expectations, they made an appointment to take a postgraduate entrance examination at a world-class prestigious university abroad, and when everything stabilized, they would hold a wedding there and register as a legal couple.

At that time, the country was not yet open, and things like homosexuality were even more difficult to understand and accept, and some so-called experts even called it a type of mental illness.Under such circumstances, Chen Xi and Lu Yuan carefully protected the relationship between them. Neither Lu Yuan nor Chen Xi are the kind of flamboyant people. , nine times out of ten they will be rejected or even drop out, so they are usually very cautious. I thought that this state would not improve until they got the offer from the foreign university, but no one expected , instead of waiting for the improvement they had been expecting, they ushered in an extremely cruel and dark nightmare.

There is a girl in the same department who has a crush on Lu Yuan, her family is very wealthy, and her family is quite powerful in City A. After being rejected by Lu Yuan, love turns into hatred, and she holds a grudge against Lu Yuan, so she finds someone to follow Lu Yuan, Under such deliberate and professional tracking, no matter how careful Lu Yuan and Chen Xi are, as long as they are together, there will always be some traces left behind. When those traces are listed one by one and finally combined together, Lu Yuan The relationship between Yuan and Chen Xi was also exposed.

The girl found out that the person who rejected her was a damn gay, and she couldn't even compare to a man. She was so disgusted that she directly stabbed this matter into the school, and it was widely spread among teachers and students. Chen Xi At school, Lu Yuan and Lu Yuan not only had to face other people's pointing and strange eyes, but were also invited to talk several times. Under the constant pressure from the girl's family, the school's attitude towards the two became more and more indifferent, even At the beginning, there was a faint intention to persuade the two of them to leave, and even stabbed them in front of the parents of both parties.

Under tremendous pressure, neither of them ever compromised. They were expelled from school, treated by teachers and classmates as objects of discussion after dinner, and scolded and placed under house arrest by their elders. Those days were really dark and difficult for the two of them. But fortunately, both of them have already successfully obtained offers from famous foreign schools. They only need to wait for a while, and many things will have a new turning point.

But accidents are called accidents precisely because of their suddenness and uncertainty.After being forced to drop out of school, Chen Xi often worked as a volunteer in an orphanage, where no one would look at him strangely, and no one would point fingers at him and Lu Yang, whether it was the children or the orphanage. Aunt Chang would affectionately call him Mr. Chen.

Chen Xi will never forget that day. He came to the orphanage to give lectures to the children as usual, and after coaxing the children to sleep, he was always in good spirits and didn't like to take a nap, but he felt very tired at noon that day. Fell asleep against the wall.

He was woken up by someone, and when he opened his eyes again, the surroundings had turned into a sea of ​​flames. The scorching temperature and terrifying flames almost engulfed him. Chen Xi saw the calm and gentle face of Lu Yuan The panic and uneasiness on the face was on fire, and the billowing smoke was surging along with the fire, and the surrounding temperature was still rising.

He was rescued from the fire scene by Lu Yuan desperately, but when the two came out, they counted the children outside and found that there were three missing, so Lu Yuan and Chen Xi rushed into the fire scene again. This time was no longer as lucky as last time. Chen Xi took a lot of effort to find the little boy hiding in the corner. When he went out, he was hit on the back by a broken beam. Although he finally escaped from the fire, he still He was also seriously injured and went into shock from inhaling too much toxic fumes.

As for Lu Yuan, after he sent a little girl out and returned to the fire scene again, he never came out again. Lu Yuan's life was forever fixed at the age of 22.He hasn't had time to complete the life plan he set, hasn't had time to fulfill the promise he made, and hasn't had time to enjoy the world, so he left forever.

Chen Xi woke up from the hospital, and before he got out of the sad news and grief of Lu Yuan's death, many reporters and media were already crowded outside the ward. Those media reporters wanted to interview him, but from the questions they asked about that The strange fire was just used as a background, and it was just a few casual mentions. I don’t know if it was for a stunt or because someone ordered it. Obviously, compared to the cause of the fire, Lu Yuan returned to the scene of the fire three times. Compared with the common news of saving children and eventually killing them, they were more interested in the fact that the two volunteers who put out the fire were gay.

In order to heighten the controversy, some media even published a long article in the newspaper scolding why homosexuals like Chen Xi and Lu Yuan were approved to volunteer in an orphanage.Things continued to ferment, and everyone's sights seemed to have deviated from the original track. No one cared why the orphanage, which had always had very good safety measures, suddenly caught fire. No one cared about the children Lu Yuan desperately rescued. As a homosexual, Lu Yuan was able to be a volunteer to mislead his children. There was endless debate on whether it would lead to bad children and have a negative impact on the children's growth.

During that time, Chen Xi even had some mental problems. He refused to communicate with the outside world. From outsiders to his family, he seemed to have closed himself off.He didn't understand why things turned out like this, and he didn't understand why he was pointed at, scolded and scolded for saving people, and he didn't understand why Lu Yuan, who was such a good person, ended up dying so uneasy.Did they do something wrong?What are they doing wrong?Just because they fell in love with each other, the same sex?

The ending of the story is very ironic. Chen Xi jumped down from the high building of the hospital, his blood dripped all over the floor, surrounded by reporters, their faces shone with excitement, and all kinds of weapons were carried on their shoulders. Long gun short cannon.

On the last page of the script, there is a line that is somewhat scribbled, but still memorable to You Xin:

Lu Yuan said, where there is sunshine, there are shadows, but why is it always us who stand behind the light?

Jiang You's hand gently caressed that sentence, and the long-lost oppression and heaviness swept over his heart again.Although he has studied the script and the characters in the story more than once, no matter how many times he has read it, the heart-wrenching feeling has not faded with the passage of time, but has become more intense.

The ending of the story ended with Chen Xi jumping off the building, but in reality, after filming "Backlight", Chan Ning also chose to leave this world in the same way.Although Qian Ning never said that the script had anything to do with him during filming, after Qian Ning passed away, Jiang You searched for a lot of information, but a few words matched the story, but the information was not complete. , Many of them have obvious traces of modification and concealment, as if they were forcibly erased.

Jiang You closed the script, rubbed his sore eyes, his heart was filled with bitterness, as long as he closed his eyes, he could always think of the depressing plots in the script, which made him unable to sleep for a long time.

On the afternoon of the second day after reading the script, Jiang You met Qian Ning again. After the meeting, Jiang You didn't make any detours, and agreed to Qian Ning's invitation very definitely. Under Qian Ning's surprised look, the two finalized the cooperation However, since the funds are still not enough, it will take a while before the filming can start.

After this matter came to an end, Jiang You relied on his memory to search for news about Shen Yize without any trace.

I remember that in his previous life, when he met Shen Yize, Shen Yize was just a group performer who had just graduated from university and played corpses in the film and television city. He was not ugly, but that kind of appearance was hard to remember. If you are handsome, you are handsome, but if you are handsome, you don't have the slightest characteristic, and you forget it at a glance. Nowadays, when a hundred flowers are blooming in the circle, unless you are very lucky, it is no different from dreaming to stand out from the crowd.

But Shen Yize did not give up, he diligently pondered every character he got, even if it was only a few seconds of corpses, he would carefully study what kind of posture would not appear abrupt and more natural.At that time, it happened that Jiang You's film crew had chosen that studio for filming, and Shen Yize appeared in Jiang You's sight. From Shen Yize's body, Jiang You seemed to see his former self. Jiang You could tell that Shen Yize was real. love, like acting.

Willing to endure hardship, diligent and hardworking, so Jiang You was moved with compassion and wanted to give him a hand.Regarding this matter, Jiang You's manager at the time did not agree with it at first, but later saw that Shen Yize was really honest and hardworking, and his figure was very similar to Jiang You's. Appointed Shen Yize as his queen substitute.

Although it is called a stand-in, it is actually just a pretext for Jiang You to promote him. Unlike those small fresh meat in the circle, Jiang You prefers to shoot some difficult and dangerous scenes by himself. He didn't want to use a stand-in when he went on stage. He accepted Shen Yize at the beginning because he wanted to let him learn from him and hone his acting skills.

Jiang You treats Shen Yize very well. Occasionally, when he meets a suitable role, or when the cast of the crew changes temporarily, Jiang You will say a few words to the director he is familiar with, and win a lot of opportunities for Shen Yize, but he never expected One day, the person he treated with sincerity finally pushed him into a situation where he would never be able to recover with his own hands, and took his place.

Regarding this, Jiang You also had mixed feelings.
