Chapter 4 (4) "Smoke" boot

Guan Xiao's tour schedule is in full swing here, and Chen Gan's new movie "Like Smoke" is also on schedule.The script tells the story of a gay novelist in the 80s who has been hiding his sexual orientation from the outside world, and has been secretly in love with his childhood sweetheart, who has already married a well-educated girl through the words of a matchmaker, and has a son. The protagonist lives a happy life and suffers from pain. He has never expressed his love in his life. It was not until his companion died of illness in his later years that the feelings he had cherished for a lifetime disappeared like smoke.

The theme of the script is very marginal, the tone is sad and peaceful, and the whole main line is based on the memories of the male protagonist No.1, without intense emotional expressions and conflicts, and has a strong sense of literature and art.The director in charge of the film is Xu Zhixing, a well-known "ghost" in the industry. Xu's tricky casting and unique narrative techniques often give people a sense of unconstrained and reasonable gratification. All films made by Xu Zhixing have been recognized by the industry. A benchmark for new themes.But this person is very famous, but the output is extremely low. In the past sixty years, there are only 3 works, but the names of these 3 works are all well-known. "Wangxia" became popular with the powerful actor He Yang, who became a super first-line actor, and since then his acting career has skyrocketed. "Road of No Return" not only took home the Cannes statuette, but also brought the married life of the AIDS group into the public eye. The heroine Lin Yan's net worth doubled overnight, and she was even more grateful for Director Xu's kindness. "Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens" gave birth to 2 of the new four young students in the Mainland --- Zou Pei and Li Ziqing.

This is the first time in the industry to shoot a movie with a homosexual mentality. Because the topic is sensitive, if it is not well grasped, it will easily expand social prejudice and arouse people's resentment. Therefore, Xu Zhixing is even more cautious about casting this time.The male protagonist Xu Zhixing needs must have an upright temperament. To put it bluntly, he must be abstinent. This person must have profound facial features and a clean appearance.The male protagonist, Qin Xiuran, comes from a good background and is excellent in his studies. His double major in law and philosophy makes the character synonymous with rationality, and his extreme rationality also brings Qin Xiuran regrets that he cannot express in his life.Qin Xiuran is rational and restrained, he is polite and moderate in dealing with people and things, and he treats people well. He has a distance in front of colleagues and friends but is not difficult to get along with. He has a strong restraint on his own heart, and he also has resolute resistance to external temptations.The scale is generally precise and boring life.

The reason why Xu Zhixing chose Chen Gan was because of Chen Gan's rare sense of self-control.The current actors all have a kind of aura, and when the aura fades away, they will have different degrees of impetuosity. A character who plays a role of beauty and heart can't interpret a decent character like Qin Xiuran who almost criticizes himself.Chen Gan's appearance was originally cold and hard, he looked unfriendly, his body was as straight as a gun, and his personality was also upright. He was always gentle and polite, but he never got too close to anyone, and only followed his own principles to live The turbid entertainment circle.Xu Zhixing's eyes lit up the first time he saw Chen Qian, and he made a decision immediately.For Chen Gan, this is a rare opportunity to be in charge.

Qin Xiuran doesn't have many lines, and most of the movies are presented in the form of monologues, which need to be re-edited later, but this is a greater challenge for Chen Gan. Characters with almost no lines need to use their bodies to express their emotions to the audience. Use facial expressions, eyes, and every subtle movement to convey.When Chen Gan got the script, he also felt pressured, and said, "Isn't this asking me to act in pantomime!" After listening to the description of the role, Guan Xiao thought for a while, and said, "It's very suitable for you."

So Chen Gan immediately went to preview the script.

One day, Chen Gan was reading his notebook at home, and suddenly he heard Baozi whimpering and scratching the door with his paws, and after a while, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open. Running downstairs, as expected, I saw Guan Xiao bending over to put his shoes on in the entrance, with a small black suitcase standing beside him.Chen Gan walked up to Guan Xiao's luggage in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you back? I didn't say anything in advance. There is no food at home!" Guan Xiao changed his slippers and walked to the living room, and replied with a smile, " There was a temporary problem with Thailand’s hosting, and the event was postponed, so I’ll be back.”

"Ah? Will it have a big impact?" Chen Gan was a little anxious when he heard that, for fear that Guan Xiao's bad schedule would affect his family's big star's way to the top.

"It doesn't matter, it's just postponed," Guan Xiao said amusedly, "There is no food at home, how do you spend it?"

"Order takeaway," Chen Gan cheerfully hugged Guan Xiao to sit on the sofa, and rubbed his shoulders.

"What do you eat with that bun?"

"Eat my leftovers." Chen Gan answered as a matter of course.

"..." Guan Xiao already knew that this person's ability to take care of himself is directly proportional to how often he is at home.

"Forget it, I'll see what else is in the refrigerator, let's make do with it, I'm a little tired and don't really want to eat." Guan Xiao said as he was about to get up to open the refrigerator, but was pushed back to the sofa by Chen Gan vigorously,

"You sit, and I'll cook." Chen Gan went to check the materials with joy on his face, chasing the bumpkin who was wagging his tail behind him, flying all fours for joy.

Finally, Chen Gan found an onion, a cabbage, and two tomatoes from the refrigerator. There was still a bag of unfinished dried noodles in the cabinet. He simply ordered noodle soup and splashed it with chopped green onion and oil. It was simple and delicious.

Chen Gan was busy in the kitchen, Guan Xiao was wearing home clothes and nestling on the sofa, holding the bun in one hand, and flipping through the script of "Ru Yan" that Chen Gan had left on the table with the other hand. past traces.Although this person usually looks childish, he is still very serious and responsible in his work. Guan Xiao was attracted by the content while flipping through it.When Chen Gan served the table and came over to call Guan Xiao to serve the meal, tears were streaming down his face when he saw him.

Shocked, Chen Gan hurried over and asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?" He reached out to touch Guan Xiao's face.

Guan Xiao sniffed, raised his head pitifully, looked at Chen Gan's concerned eyes with red eye circles, and said in a low voice with his mouth pursed, "Qin Xiuran is so pitiful."

Chen Gan was stunned, he was relieved when he realized it, he smiled and hugged the crying star in his arms, "Just because of this, it scares me, sure enough, your feelings as singers are Fufu, don't cry anymore, your eyes are swollen like peaches." Coaxing and coaxing, Chen Qian's heart softened, and he couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed Guan Xiao's eyes.

"You have to play this role well," Guan Xiao rubbed his eyes and blushed embarrassingly for his gaffe.

"Sure. Well, you're hungry, let's go, go eat." Chen Qian gently picked up Guan Xiao and walked to the restaurant.

"I can walk, let me down." Guan Xiao shook his legs awkwardly.

"Crying like this without eating, the center of gravity is unstable and the head is too big, and I will fall." Chen Gan smiled badly and did not let go, flexibly dodging the little pink punch coming from the shop.

After dinner, the two of them had no intention of watching TV. Chen Gan wanted to continue to preview the script to figure out the characters, and Guan Xiao was also a little tired, so the two of them read the script cross-legged on a chair, and the other leaned on the bed and listened to music with headphones.

Chen Gan looked at it, and suddenly a detail flashed in his mind. Guan Xiao had read the script thoroughly, so he should have noticed it, why didn't he ask.Chen Gan looked up at Guan Xiao with his eyes closed and rested, with a thoughtful expression on his face.Guan Xiao seemed to be aware of something, slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand to take off an earphone, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"It should be you who have something to say." Chen Gan probed.

"I have something to say, and I didn't stare at you." Guan Xiaoqi said.

"How do you know I'm staring at you?" Chen Ganle said.

"...The sight is too hot, I'm in a panic. Tell me something." Guan Xiao held both earphones in his hands, and urged him solemnly.

Chen Gan spread the script aside, jumped off the chair, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, and said to Guan Xiao with disbelief, "Why don't you ask about the sex scene?"

Guan Xiao froze for a moment, then said, "Oh, this, what's the point of asking, it's your job."

Chen Gan chased after him closely, and said, "You don't mind? Are you not jealous?"

Guan Xiao smiled speechlessly, and asked back, "Why am I jealous? If I'm jealous, you won't shoot?"

"This... You still have to take pictures, but you also have to make some gestures, so that you can show that you value others." Chen Gan squeezed his orchid fingers with a playful smile.

Guan Xiao rolled his eyes and expressed that he didn't want to talk to this kind of person.

Seeing that the person didn't respond extraneously, Chen Qian felt at ease, and honestly walked up to the person and wrapped him in his arms, while confessing frankly, "It's Zou Pei who is playing this scene with me, you should also I’ve heard that it’s the way to act in Xu Lao’s play, and now it’s not right, Xu Lao said, this person has a simple temperament, suitable for playing my honest and honest crush, that’s why I chose him.”

Guan Xiao nodded, and continued, "You don't need to explain in such detail. Mr. Xu has a good eye, and he has a good idea of ​​the casting. A coat driller who can't get a job will naturally not be able to get this role."

When Chen Gan heard this, he became excited again, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm ashamed why you always praise me recently."

"I praised you? Did I praise you?" Guan Xiao was at a loss, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Chen Gan's thinking recently.

"Of course! You said Mr. Xu has good eyesight, but I'm the number one man handpicked by Mr. Xu. Am I great?" Chen Gan winked at Guan Xiao triumphantly.

"...I fell asleep," Guan Xiao rolled his eyes and was about to fall on the bed.

Chen Gan wrapped Guan Xiao into the quilt together, Guan Xiao kicked Chen Gan's calf with his feet, and asked, "You don't read the script? Are you lazy."

With a long arm, Chen Gan grabbed the little foot that was scrambling around, scratched it gently on the sole of the foot, and then held it to prevent the foot from retracting, and said with a smile, "I've been watching it all day, how hardworking, it's important now, I will do my script homework tomorrow."

Guan Xiao curled his lips and didn't make a sound, was turned over by Chen Gan and hugged him, with his head resting on Chen Gan's chin, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
