After getting back together with my ex, I became popular

The storyline of "Stardust" is actually not very ups and downs, but what is very special is that this novel tells the story of his little uncle Ye Xing when he was 13 years old through the perspective of a third-party Ye Zhi's memory. The story of the last period of life.

The protagonist of the story, Ye Xing, is a young painter who has just made his mark in the painting world but was found to have a brain tumor. His eyesight began to be affected and he was unable to paint.Ye Xing's agent saw that he was dying soon and fell into a creative bottleneck, so he simply ran away with money and paintings. In this world, his only relative left is his sister Ye Xi.

After their parents passed away, the siblings were sent to two different distant relatives' homes.The relatives who adopted Ye Xing despised him for stuttering and wasting food, so they sent him directly to the orphanage after a period of time. In the ten years since then, Ye Xing has never seen his sister.

Time was running out, so Ye Xing's lawyer contacted Ye Xi, hoping that the other party could take care of Ye Xing in his last days and accompany him on the final journey.But Ye Xi's family situation is not good. She has a 13-year-old son, but her husband is an alcoholic idler, and the burden of supporting the whole family rests on her alone.

To make matters worse, Ye Xing, who has always been low-yielding, is also in a particularly poor financial situation.Most of the proceeds from the paintings he sold were donated to charity by him, and the only remaining asset was the only finished painting left by his agent, which was only enough to temporarily relieve urgent needs after being auctioned off.

Ye Xi's husband originally did not agree to bring people over, but when he heard that after Ye Xing's death, they would have the right to inherit the paintings, he immediately changed his mind, and urged his wife to follow along with him to force Ye Xing to paint, so that he could Keep a few more paintings and sell them for money.

The 13-year-old Ye Zhi listened to all the family quarrels surrounding Ye Xing.From his father's words and phrases, he imagined Ye Xing to be an extremely eccentric, extremely stupid, stuttering, critically ill patient who couldn't take care of himself, and might even lose all his hair due to chemotherapy.

In the first impression, Ye Zhi felt that his little uncle was an ugly, thin, sloppy ghost, and he didn't like him.

But unexpectedly, on the day of the official meeting, Ye Zhi stood behind his parents and saw that the man who got off the car at the intersection was an unusually gentle, slender and beautiful man.

White clothes and white trousers, with an easel on his back, a pot of small prickly pears in his left hand, and a white suitcase in his right hand.The slightly long forehead hair covered the eyes, and he was full of artistry, not like a patient at all.

He stood in the light and shadow, Ye Zhi couldn't see his facial features clearly, he only felt that he was beautiful and transparent for a moment.

From this time on, the little boy couldn't help himself and began to secretly observe the little uncle who lived in the house.

Although he stuttered, Ye Xing still tried his best to speak. He was stuck for a long time, and the backs of his hands and neck would be strained due to excessive force.

During the day, except for three meals, Ye Xing was asked to stay in the room and draw pictures. Ye Zhi went in for the first time with the excuse of sending clothes, and saw the paintings and photos hanging all over the walls and covering the floor. People were amazed, and Ye Xing sat in the middle of the room, drawing earnestly one stroke at a time, but there were discarded manuscripts at his feet.

At night, things get a little weird.He would move a chair and sit in the yard, doing nothing but put the cactus on his lap and look up at the stars.

Ye Zhi became more and more curious about Ye Xing, and tried his best to stay with his little uncle, even if he didn't talk, he could paint and do his homework.

But on the other hand, Ye Xi's husband couldn't bear his temper anymore.

Even though Ye Xing spent more than ten hours a day on painting, he couldn't draw a finished painting no matter what.After more than half a month, he finally couldn't help but broke out after being drunk once, and forced Ye Xing to draw in front of the drawing board, and wouldn't let him eat if he couldn't draw.

After all, Ye Xi was thinking of some blood relationship, and secretly sent something in but was discovered by her husband. The two broke out in a quarrel and shoved. Ye Xing, who had been silent before, wanted to stop him, but in the confusion, he was accidentally pushed down by his brother-in-law in order to protect his sister. He fell down the stairs, fell to his head, and passed out on the spot.

The doctor told the Ye family that the condition of Ye Xing's brain tumor had worsened.He was able to see a little bit, but after this accident, he was basically completely blind. He couldn't see anything, and his life had already entered the countdown.

They couldn't afford the exorbitant chemotherapy fees, and they thought that Ye Xing would be completely depressed, but after he was discharged from the hospital, he secretly stuffed Ye Zhi with a red envelope, and asked Xiao Ye Zhi if he would be his eyes for a day.

The first half of the story unfolds in this kind of depression. Although the perspective of young people adds a lot of curiosity, exploration, and even funny elements to it, and Ye Xing also calmly behaves like a normal person as much as possible, but this The experiences of the characters have their own sad tone.

He can't speak fluently, he has a shy personality and even a little autistic, but he lives very hard and earnestly, and he is very attentive in raising cactus; he is a talented painter, but he lost his heart when he first became a hot star His own eyesight; in terms of appearance, it is pale and slender, and can even be called thin. In the words of the original text, it is "standing in the sun, like it will be blown by the wind at any time into light spots".

Talented and gifted but also flawed, sensitive and delicate but also tenacious, and died of illness in the end even before thirty, which is why Ji Fei said that playing this role will be very hard.And if Xu Chen wanted to act, the first thing he had to do was to lose at least [-] catties, so that he could reach the thin standard for his height.

"Hard work is nothing." Xu Chen sat up straight and said solemnly, "It's too late for me to be happy for such a good story."

"It will be too thin..." Ji Fei's thinking angle is obviously not in the same dimension as Xu Chen's.

Xu Chen didn't take it seriously: "I'll be back soon, so you can rest assured of my body."

"Besides, you must like this novel to go abroad to discuss copyright in person. I also want to act because I like it." Seeing that Ji Fei was still frowning, Xu Chen changed his method of persuasion.

"......"

Ji Fei lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds. He didn't know what to think, then raised his eyes again, brushed Xu Chen's hair, and said "um".

After completing the "King Lear" drama tour, Xu Chen finally had time to attend an audition, and the location was directly arranged at a film and television studio near Bohua Media Building.

"Stardust" is a key film project that Bohua wants to compete for awards. The director approached Lin Wei, who is the best at filming this genre in China and one of the top directors in the industry.

Due to the excellent script, the two hit it off.

It's just that Lin Wei's personality is so unpredictable that it's hard to figure out, so the content of the audition is also random and there is no standard. Even Xue Yunzhi said that she has already auditioned thousands of people, but she still doesn't know how to wait. How will Lin Wei try out the play.

The fact is indeed the case, there are only a few cameras in the studio, Lin Wei sat behind the monitor holding an apple, took a bite and greeted Xu Chen: "Hi."

Xu Chen also said "Hi": "Director Lin."

Lin Wei looked at Xu Chen for a while, and said, "Go back to the door, come here, let's try the camera first."

"Okay, come here, take two steps forward...Turn sideways, okay, turn a little more...Turn back and walk to the door and then back."

Lin Wei squinted slightly to look at the very photogenic figure in the monitor, and obviously felt a subtle change in Xu Chen's temperament. Every time he walked, he would raise his eyes for a look, and then walk a few steps with his eyes down.

After walking back and forth several times, Lin Wei stopped and said, "Okay, now let's audition for the part where Ye Xing came to Ye's house to look at the stars for the first time." Then he said to the assistant beside him, "Give him a Potted prickly pear."

No script was given, no restrictions were set, no mention was made of where to start the acting, and no mention of where the performance would end. It also directly acquiesced that Xu Chen had read the original work, which was indeed an extremely freewheeling style.Xu Chen took the prickly pear and put it in his left hand, calmed down and began to recall the description in the book.

Ye Xing looked at the stars for the first time... The scene ahead was that he saw Ye Zhi who was looking at him by the window sill, but because he was afraid of being nervous, he opened and closed his mouth and finally couldn't speak in an embarrassing scene... ....

If the part of watching the stars directly is unavoidably abrupt and without contrast, then move forward a little bit and use this emotion as the starting point.

Xu Chen lowered his eyes, felt the eyes still fixed on him, tried to twitch the corners of his mouth a couple of times, and then lifted up to give Ye Zhi a quick smile when he was ready.

It was a very gentle and shallow smile, with gray eyes, like some kind of small animal that had just been taken home, nervous and cramped because of its inability to communicate, trying to show its favor but to no avail.

He didn't expect any response. He looked away and sat down on the chair. The sky was completely dark. The starry sky here was different from what he saw in the studio before, and it was a new angle.

His eyes suddenly lit up.Very happy, the left hand holding the cactus moved unconsciously, but accidentally touched a thorn, which pierced shallowly into the palm of the hand.

Ye Xing frowned lightly, but he didn't look away, his eyes were still staring at the stars in the night sky.

"Deliberately touching the cactus to highlight concentration?" Lin Wei suddenly said.

Xu Chen let out an "ah" and pulled away from the state, and said back to his senses, "Oh...no, it just happened to happen and I accidentally touched it."

"Does it hurt so much? Why don't you stop."

"......forget."

Lin Wei stared at Xu Chen unfathomably for a few seconds, then leaned back to watch the playback on the monitor.

The movie screen will magnify all the details of the face, not only the skin, bones, and even the curvature of the eyelashes when blinking, any unnaturalness will be captured.Therefore, he used a lens to capture close-ups of Xu Chen's face.

The director didn't give an evaluation, and Xu Chen didn't know whether he had met the standard. When he was looking down at the little prickly pear, he suddenly heard Lin Wei say: "The hair in front should be long, your eyes are too beautiful."

......? !

Xu Chen was slightly taken aback.

"Don't get too excited, you should know it too." Lin Wei shrugged and poured cold water on Xu Chen, "My place is not the most difficult, you have to go to Mr. Song's level."

After getting the pass from Lin Wei, Xu Chen went to visit the original author Song Ran confidently. The latter returned to Hwaseong from abroad because of the launch of the "Stardust" project. Finalizing the protagonist.

"I don't think you are suitable."

These were Song Ran's first words after seeing Xu Chen.
