little transparent love

Zhang Ran was startled, then smiled, "Thank you."

The two chatted for a long time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Finally, Qi Luo said, "The issue of the contract must have been discussed through your editor. Do you have any comments?"

This is Zhang Ran's first contact with this kind of thing, but fortunately there is an editor on the side to communicate and help, and the relevant matters have been discussed a long time ago, it just needs two people to meet and communicate in person.

Looking at the contract in Qi Luo's hand again, Zhang Ran quickly gave an answer, "I have no objection."

"Then let's sign the contract."

"it is good."

When parting, Qi Luo said to Zhang Ran, "It's a happy cooperation. I'll contact you when the casting is in a few days."

Zhang Ran nodded in agreement.

After bidding farewell to Qi Luo, while walking on the road, Zhang Ran took out his mobile phone to call the editor, told about what happened after meeting Qi Luo today, and then asked, "Editor, Qi Luo said that he will be able to do it in a few days." Casting, can he have a lot of funds to start as soon as possible?"

"People will find investment."

"There shouldn't be many people willing to invest in novels of my type."

"What are you worried about? Just wait and see. Qi Luo is not easy. Since he said that he can start casting roles in a few days, there must be a way."

"Oh fine."

……

After Qi Luo and Zhang Ran signed the contract, they also called someone.

"Hey?"

"Remember what I told you earlier?"

"Well, the contract has been signed, how about it? Do you want to invest in me?"

"Okay then, let's meet and talk."

Qi Luo agreed on a location with the person on the phone, and rushed over immediately.

Although he himself looks gentle and elegant, he is actually a vigorous and decisive person. Some things can be done now without delay.So after meeting with Zhang Ran and reaching an agreement, he immediately looked for investors for his film.

The place Qi Luo chose to meet was much more upscale than the cafe Zhang Ran chose, and he even asked for a private room.

Not long after, the door of the private room was opened.

"Here we come, Jingyan."

Lu Jingyan nodded and said helplessly, "Brother Luo, when did you sign the contract?"

Qi Luo raised the contract in his hand, and answered with a smile, "Just now." Then he took out another copy from his bag, "I also brought the author's novel, do you want to read it? I promise you will be willing to read it after reading it." Invest in me."

Lu Jingyan said, "Brother Luo, you really haven't changed at all, your movements are still so fast."

"Of course." Qi Luo handed over the novel in his hand, "Let's have a look."

Lu Jingyan hesitated, "I remember you said that what you want to make is a gay film. Then this novel..."

"Of course it's a gay novel." Qi Luo looked at Lu Jingyan with a gentle smile, with a mild expression of looking at a fool.

Lu Jingyan frowned, and then joked: "Uh... I haven't read this type of novel, so I don't know if I can get used to it. If you don't feel comfortable reading it in the end, don't blame me for not wanting to invest in you?"

Qi Luo said: "Don't worry, everyone has their first time, and you will get used to it after seeing it more. Moreover, love has nothing to do with gender. I believe you will be satisfied in the end."

Lu Jingyan raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you think highly of the author of this novel."

Qi Luo rubbed his chin, "I saw him today, he is a good boy. The novels he wrote, not to mention the style of writing, but they touched me very much. The warmth and sadness between the lines are very attractive."

Lu Jingyan nodded, didn't say anything else, and reached out to take the novel, "Do you mind if I read it now?"

Qi Luo made a "please" gesture.

This book is a novel, rather than a black and white book bound by Qi Luo himself. There are only four words on the book cover - "Sunshine So Close"

Open the first page, there is a brief introduction of the novel and the name of the author.

"Ran Wuwei? It's an interesting name." Lu Jingyan smiled and asked casually, "Is the author male or female?"

"It's a man."

"Huh?" Lu Jingyan looked up at Qi Luo, "Is he gay?"

Qi Luo propped his chin with his hands, "I don't know."

Lu Jingyan shrugged, he was asking casually anyway, not that curious, so he continued to read.

The things in this novel are very simple and common, just like the stories that happen around us. The difference is that the two protagonists in the story are both men.

The novel starts from the school days. There are two children from ordinary families. One is sunny and handsome, with a good mind, good body and excellent academic performance. He is the kind of child from other people's family, named Shang Yuan.The one looks ordinary and handsome, has a stupid head, studies hard, but just can't keep up, and his name is He Qi.A mutual counseling session brought the two of them together. He Qi had always liked boys. When such an outstanding boy appeared beside him, that feeling of liking inevitably arose.

But He Qi can only secretly admire him. Monk Yuan has changed from a classmate to a friend, and from a friend to a buddy. Tell Shang Yuan that the better the relationship with Shang Yuan, the more he is afraid of losing this warmth and losing the opportunity to stay by Shang Yuan's side.

He Qi will only treat Shang Yuan unconditionally, comfort and encourage him when he is frustrated, play happily with him when he is happy, and take good care of him when he is sick... There is only one thing, He Qi will not help Shang Yuan went to chase girls, let alone send love letters for him.

He Qi's love for Shang Yuan is crystal clear, clean and pure.

He Qi doesn't talk about love, because he doesn't want to bring troubles to Shang Yuan because of his love, and doesn't want him to bear the worldly prejudices that the world can't understand.

So his love began to germinate, and he could only stay in the dark corner and strive to grow toward the sunshine. Even if this love could not live gloriously under the bright sky, it was like a moth to a flame, knowing that it was death, But also without hesitation.

The daily relationship between the two is warm and plain, those joys and sorrows, laughing and cursing, He Qi's love for Shang Yuan that he dare not express, and Shang Yuan's careful care and help for He Qi, are like bright paintings, outlining the rich and colorful life. teenage life.

After graduating from university, the two started working, and their contact became less and less...

Until Shang Yuan got married, He Qi suffered from depression...

When seeing this, Lu Jingyan frowned, feeling a little bad.

Qi Luo glanced at where Lu Jingyan saw, and said, "I won't abuse you."

Lu Jingyan asked in surprise, "Isn't this cruel?"

"The daily relationship between the two of them is very warm, isn't it? But isn't this kind of result normal?" Qi Luo said lightly, "He Qi was originally a quiet and introverted boy, and he kept everything in his heart. Don't say it easily, when he knows that Shang Yuan likes girls, how can he express his feelings to his mouth, just to let his inner feelings be known to his sweetheart, no matter whether Shang Yuan will be troubled by it or not, this kind of thing, A boy with He Qi's personality can't do it, so he can only suppress his feelings in his heart and bear it silently."

Lu Jingyan said, "Then why don't you let go?"

Qi Luo smiled, "It looks like you have never loved anyone before. If love can be easily let go, it is not called love. Love grows in the heart, and it is neither rotten nor rotten. How can it be said to let it go? If it is forced Pull|pull|out|, it may be bloody and fleshy..." Qi Luo's eyes dimmed for a moment, paused, and then continued, "I want to give you a spoiler, you should continue to read."

It can be said that He Qi's depression was caused by Shang Yuan. Even though Shang Yuan didn't know about it, He Qi's parents still found Shang Yuan.

As parents, how could it be possible to watch He Qi suffer pain and torture, even though they only knew that their beloved son was gay, even though they were also experiencing pain and torture, they still begged Shang Yuan.

There is no way, Shangyuan is He Qi's medicine.

It is so sad that the feelings that have been hidden for nearly ten years are naked|naked|naked|shown in front of Shang Yuan.

Shang Yuan was naturally shocked, but he didn't dare to believe it. When he heard He Qi's feelings with his own ears, it seemed that everything was unexpected, but it was all reasonable.

Even if it comes from years of friendship, it is impossible for Shang Yuan to give up He Qi.But looking at He Qi's side, it is inevitable that he has neglected the family. Even though Shang Yuan tried his best, his wife still cheated on her and found another man. In the end, the two divorced peacefully.

But He Qi thought it was his fault, and under the pain, the idea of ​​suicide easily broke through the psychological defense.

Shang Yuan was a step late, knelt in front of He Qi and cried, saying I love you too, but unfortunately He Qi could never hear it again.

Lu Jingyan put down the book silently, and then said after a while, "It's a very plain and realistic story."

"Ah."

"But the lines between the lines are very attractive, as if it is a story that is happening in life. The ending is regrettable, but such an ending..."

"Such an ending is the ending. I met the author today, and I asked him why he didn't give a good ending. Readers should be more happy to see such an ending."

Lu Jingyan asked, "How did he answer?"

Qi Luo raised the corners of his mouth, "He said that he gave the two characters life and character, but their growth, their respective experiences and behaviors are beyond his control. It is reality that they have come to this point. It is life, it is the fruit planted by clinging to the love that cannot be done."

Lu Jingyan sighed, and asked after a while, "You said that I love you that Shang Yuan hugged He Qi's corpse at the end, did you really fall in love with He Qi?"

Qi Luo said lightly, "What kind of love is not love? He Qi paid so much to Shang Yuan out of love. Shang Yuan took care of He Qi without complaint and sacrificed so much for him. How can he say this? This behavior is not a kind of love. No matter what kind of love, He Qi is gone, no matter how entangled it is, it will not make up for it. It is impossible for them to define these three words again."

Lu Jingyan lowered his head and touched the novel, and finally said with a smile to Qi Luo, "When will the filming start? I can't wait to see the day when it will be put on the big screen."

Qi Luo clapped his hands, "Then give the money quickly!"

"Row."

……

Sure enough, within a few days, Qi Luo called Zhang Ran and asked Zhang Ran to come to Star Entertainment Company to meet and cast a cast.

Zhang Ran was surprised, "Is it ready to start casting?"

"Well, the investor this time is the president of Visionstar, and we need to select people from within Visionstar." Qi Luo said, his tone a little unhappy, "Forget it, the rich boss, anyway, the acting skills are not good. I won’t give anything that doesn’t match! You’re in charge of the character design, and I’m in charge of the acting, you have to be strict, you know?”

"Okay, okay." Zhang Ran comforted, "Shixing Entertainment is a big player in the industry, and many actors and actresses come from here. Don't worry, the quality will definitely pass the test."

Qi Luo laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, "What about the actor and queen? How could we invite them for a movie like ours? But the visual star is not bad, and it has the best resources in it, which is a kind of relief."

Qi Luo and Lu Jingyan know each other and have a good relationship, but they can't always use Lu Jingyan's identity to solve problems, so some things still have to be done according to the prescribed procedures.

After Zhang Ran came to Shixing as promised, Qi Luo took him to a spacious room.

There are several camera machines inside, and a long table and a few seats are placed behind the machines.

Qi Luo led Zhang Ran in, "We'll be casting here in a while, and now I'll choose a few audition clips with me." While talking, Qi Luo looked at his watch, "There's still an hour, an hour later Officially begin."

Zhang Ran nodded, and asked as he sat down, "Are there many people who came to audition? Who are they?"

Qi Luo handed Zhang Ran a piece of paper, which was a list of people who chose to audition, "You know that the subject matter we want to shoot is relatively sensitive in China, so generally famous stars are not likely to choose to audition, come here Most of them are newcomers, but don’t worry, newcomers also have good acting skills, they just need a chance to become famous. By the way, today is an audition for two protagonists, so it’s good to only choose the rivalry between the protagonists.”

Zhang Ran hummed to express his understanding, and then discussed with Qi Luo which clips to choose.

In the end, they selected a total of three audition clips. The first clip is the daily life of the two people in school, and it is the first time that He Qi fell in love with Shang Yuan.The second clip is the scene where Shang Yuan finally knows He Qi's feelings for him, and at the same time he also knows that He Qi is suffering from depression, and the two meet.The third clip is the scene where He Qi committed suicide and Shang Yuan came a step late.

These three clips are very important, and it took a long time for the two of them to decide.

Next, it's time for casting auditions.

……

It has been three years since Cheng Haoyu graduated from the Film Academy, but apart from acting in a not-so-popular drama with the help of his mentor, he has never had the chance to play the leading role. The roles he can take are either cannon fodder or tricksters , although signed to a big company like Vision Star, he is a young actor at the bottom.

There is no way, although Cheng Haoyu's acting skills are not bad, but his appearance is really unremarkable. In today's society that looks at faces, which agent is willing to praise such a not-so-good-looking rookie?Too much risk and no idea if it will pay off.

Whether a star is outstanding or not, the first thing you see is the face, look at the acting skills?You have to show your face before you can say it, so Cheng Haoyu still has a hard time, if you can't be famous by your face, then you can only rely on your acting skills, this is a slow and meticulous project.

A few days ago, the company suddenly released an announcement, casting announcement.

The stars who saw this announcement were first surprised by its genre and theme, and then some big names threw it aside without even watching it. Some people were interested in taking a look, but they all cherish their feathers and will not easily try movies with this kind of theme. .Some directors and screenwriters are not outstanding, and they have never even heard of it, let alone pay attention to it... The rest are mostly young actors with some ideas and no reputation, including Cheng Haoyu.

Cheng Haoyu took a fancy to He Qi's character at a glance, and the appearance fits well, which is rare.He doesn't care much about acting on such subjects. After all, for an actor who doesn't even have to act in a scene, it would be great if he could have a scene, let alone the role of the protagonist.

Cheng Haoyu decided to try this role, after all, it was an opportunity no matter what.

When Cheng Haoyu arrived, there were already a lot of people lined up outside the audition room, his eyes turned around these people, Cheng Haoyu suddenly widened his eyes, his expression was full of surprise.

He actually saw Lu Ze in this group of people? !

The eyes of the people around are always on Lu Ze, which shows how shocking Lu Ze's appearance is.

Some people choose to be actors because they like it, and Cheng Haoyu belongs to this kind of people.Some people can only act because of their profession, while some people are purely for entertainment when they become stars.

This kind of people usually have money in their families and someone paves the way, so the future is bright.

People are more popular than people, and Lu Ze, the most popular young meat of Shixing, belongs to this kind of people. He not only has a backstage, but also has good appearance and acting skills. He uses his own strength to block all gossip.

It stands to reason that such stars who are already popular and will have a better star path don't need to come here to audition, but they actually met Lu Ze here!

What does this mean?

Could it be that Lu Ze was persecuted?How is it possible, with Lu Ze's background, who would dare to force him.Is that the background of this movie is tough?So even Lu Ze is here?

Thinking of this, many people's fighting spirit and vigilance are burning.

The people who were interviewing for the role of He Qi were even more nervous. If they could act opposite Lu Ze in a movie, then it is conceivable that they would also receive a lot of attention.

Lu Ze stood in the crowd and received the attention. He was in a very upset mood. No one dared to talk to him. Naturally, he didn't know why Lu Ze came here for the interview.

Cheng Haoyu took an audition number and stood behind Lu Ze.

However, he did not dare to talk to Lu Ze. Lu Ze is good at acting and looks good, but he is notoriously grumpy in the company. Cheng Haoyu has never been in contact with him, and he has heard of his name. Number.

However, Lu Ze also has the right to lose his temper. Whoever makes people's backstage hard, he doesn't have to bear it at all, and he doesn't know how he will die if he wants to wear small shoes for Lu Ze.

When audition time comes, all cameras are ready.

Qi Luo stood up and opened the door, calling all the audition actors outside.

A total of 25 actors came to audition this time, [-] people auditioned Shang Yuan, and only seven auditioned He Qi.

In fact, there were not only 25 people who signed up, but Qi Luo is a weirdo. Those people were rejected by Qi Luo without an audition. Qi Luo was not self-willed, but he carefully observed the works performed by those people , Some of the acting skills are not good enough, and some of them are not in line with the character design, so there is no need to come.

Qi Luo said before that it was the boss who gave the money, but in fact, he didn't give the boss face at all, and he didn't show mercy at all when he should be dismissed, and those who stayed were not to mention how good their acting skills were, but they all had plasticity. Who is more suitable for the role during the audition.

There are two rounds of auditions. The first round is an individual audition. After this round, the next round is an acting audition for two people.Fortunately, there are not too many people, so it is completely suitable to use this method to select people.

Individuals audition individually, and the clips are random. These people have all received a complete script before, and they can choose the clips they are good at.

The role of Shang Yuan was the first to audition. Qi Luo and Zhang Ran looked at the eighteen people. Because of Shang Yuan's character design, the eighteen people who came here to audition were all tall and long-legged, and all of them were considered excellent in appearance. Among them, one person is the most conspicuous.

Qi Luo looked at the man in surprise, "Lu Ze? Why is he here too?"

Zhang Ran also knew about Lu Ze. Seeing Lu Ze appearing in the audition staff at this time, it felt like a dream. He suddenly heard Qi Luo saying this, Zhang Ran turned his head and said in surprise, "Mr. Qi, you Don't you know that Lu Ze is coming?"

Qi Luo nodded and pointed to the list in front of Zhang Ran, "He's not on it."

Zhang Ran counted the people on the list, "Yes, there are a total of 24 people here, but now there are 25 people here."

In fact, Qi Luo was surprised not only because Lu Ze, a famous little fresh meat, appeared here to audition, but also because he knew Lu Ze himself.Because Lu Ze is from the Lu family, that is, Lu Jingyan's cousin.

Could it be that Lu Jingyan asked him to come?Qi Luo immediately denied himself when he thought of this. Lu Jingyan is not such a person, but with Lu Ze's reputation, he himself would not come here to audition.

Forget it, let's say hello after the end. Anyway, since Lu Ze came here by himself, it must be voluntary.

So Qi Luo started to call out, and asked people to come to audition one by one.

Lu Ze was the last person to audition for the role of Shang Yuan. Before him, 13 people had already been screened out.

Lu Ze complained in his heart, Uncle Luo is still so strict, he will pass if he is a bit inappropriate, how did this kind of character that would rather be lacking than abuse survive in the entertainment industry.

Turning his thoughts around, Lu Ze suddenly thought, or else he would just play it anyway, anyway, he didn't come here voluntarily.

But when Lu Ze raised his head to look at Qi Luo, he was startled by Qi Luo's serious eyes, and then remembered who Qi Luo was——Qi Luo must know what his acting skills are like, if he secretly releases water If he doesn't act well, Qi Luo must have a hundred ways to make him feel bad.
