Slater's new novel is called Nirvana

The plot is quite simple, and the ending is also a traditional happy ending.

The hero played by Allen is a Latin dance teacher. With his beautiful resume, he teaches in a noble high school that everyone wants to get in.

At the beginning of the film, he encountered a series of things, falling into a trough in life, his father went bankrupt, his mother was pregnant, he himself was fired because he did not compromise with the school, and lost his well-paid job.

The family had to move from the bustling metropolis to the hometown of their grandparents - a small town with inconvenient transportation.

Unlike blindly optimistic parents, the protagonist leaves familiar friends and school, and is unfamiliar with everything here.

He reapplied at the town's high school as a music teacher—yes, there wasn't even a need for a Latin dance teacher here.

The school was very different from the one he had been in before. It was dilapidated and narrow. There was only an old piano in the music classroom, and the students had their own problems.

He thought he was going to live a mediocre life like this, but unexpectedly regained his dream here. After a series of twists and turns, he danced to Heichi with the female dance partner he met by accident and became the champion.

When he won the championship, he was honored and countless invitations came to him, even the former school extended an olive branch to him again.

Gu Qingchi plays Irene's former dance partner, a supporting role who has no name in the outline, but is responsible for promoting the development of the plot.

He is a problem student who has not been able to graduate for a long time, and he happens to be in the protagonist's class.

On the first day the male protagonist arrived at school, he ignored the male protagonist and left the class directly.

It was he who first gave up Latin, and his female partner.

Let my female dance partner have to look around for a suitable candidate before finding the male lead. I hope to get the help of the male lead, but in the end it is fruitless. talent.

The male protagonist and the female protagonist tentatively formed a combination, but they became the dark horse that rushed out of the black pool back then, jumping all the way to the championship.

Allen's role is about to begin. At the request of Slater, he hasn't shaved for the past two days to show the decadent and depressed state of the hero.

Slater likes to be meticulous in filming, and while producing beautiful shots, the funds are also burning wildly.

So this crew is actually quite poor, and the male and female protagonists don't get any special treatment. The whole crew shares a makeup artist, and no matter how big or small the characters are, they line up to do makeup one by one.

After all, they wasted a lot of budget on props and rental venues.

In this case, director Slater has several roles, and he has to repeatedly confirm the status of the actors before filming.

It is not uncommon to explain to the actors, and it is common to demonstrate in person.

Right now, he is shooting a scene, which requires many shots of dancers. He is talking about the angle, feeling, and where to look in front of a female dancer.

After talking a few times, the female dancer was still a little confused, and Slater started to do it by herself, with a rather enchanting posture. The male dancer opposite him tried to laugh a few times, but he held back.

Gu Qingchi sat on the sofa next to him, with one leg resting on his lap, leaning back against the back of the sofa, and resting his hands on the sofa.

His action was also requested by Slater. Although it was still a long time before Gu Qingchi's part in the scene, Slater had already begun to want Gu Qingchi to create an ideal image first.

Maybe it's a matter of temperament, and it should be a very aggressive action, but when he did it, he was a little more calm and well-behaved, because his upper body was sitting too straight, and he still had a bit of righteousness.

Looking at Slater at this moment, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

After Slater finished speaking, he turned around and saw Gu Qingchi smiling.

He looked Gu Qingchi up and down.

"Why do you feel this way with this action? It's not like this. Be more arrogant and don't sit so straight. You are a playboy now, not a president who supervises the work of poor employees."

Gu Qingchi tried to adjust it a few times, but finally Slater gave up first. He put his hand on his forehead, looking like he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

"Don't leave until the work is over. I'll have a good talk with you."

It was already evening when the work was finished, and the staff in the venue were coming and going to clean up.

Slater hurriedly signaled Gu Qingchi to come with him.

In the end, Slater took Gu Qingchi to the outfield—a cheap entertainment venue that you can enter with a small entrance fee.

Now that the sky has just darkened, it is far from the time when the Queen's Ballroom should start doing business.

The waiters are not all in place yet, they are clearing the tables back and forth, preparing to welcome the guests in the evening.

But now you can enter the arena, and some young people have already gathered in twos and threes, waiting for the real carnival moment at night.

The band started playing soothing music.

Slater found a table at random.

"Sit, oh god, don't sit like I taught you, just relax."

Gu Qingchi was still very cautious at first, and he carefully arranged the sitting posture according to Slater's instructions. After hearing this, he was relieved and sat up straight.

Xie Luyu taught him a little bit, and Gu Qingchi did well at that time, but he was like a stupid student, he only memorized the answers by rote, and the examiner changed his method of investigation.

Slater really has a headache, and the role of Gu Qingchi is actually quite complicated.

If the main line is that the protagonist is on the way to success, then there is another dark line, that is, the character played by Gu Qingchi is going to destruction.

There is no such shot in the whole film, but only a few fragments all hint at this matter.

He is the only Chinese in a school full of blacks and whites, and this identity is enough to be controversial.

He is fair-skinned and surprisingly beautiful, and despite his astonishingly low attendance rate, he has gained fame in school just by his appearance.

He was a problem student, he drank heavily, he smoked, he was a loner, he was very comfortable with life in those dark places, he wandered in nightclubs, where he squandered himself.

He indulged in pleasure, and made no secret of his desires.

When the hostess questioned him in disbelief how could he become like this.

He laughed until he bent down, tears were about to flow, before he told the hostess.

"I've always been like this, sweetheart, don't be so naive, go back and stay in your glass greenhouse, hug your baby and cry."

And he is actually five years younger than the heroine.

Gu Qingchi was too obedient and restrained, he couldn't play such a vivid and enthusiastic image.

Slater thought for a while biting his pipe, then asked suddenly.

"can you drink alcohol?"

Gu Qingchi nodded.

he asked again.

"Then do you smoke?"

This time Gu Qingchi shook his head.

He has never smoked, and has only smelled the smell of tobacco on others, and he even hates that smell a little bit, and feels suffocating when he smells that smell.

Xie Luyu is quite addicted to cigarettes. In their line of work, the pressure is actually quite high. Many people are addicted to cigarettes, and Xie Luyu gradually became addicted to them.

Later, he found that Gu Qingchi didn't like the smell of cigarettes very much, so he didn't smoke much, and occasionally smoked, not only staying far away, but also taking a bath to get rid of the smell, and occasionally spraying himself with a full set of air freshener before it was too late.

Slater ordered two bottles of wine and bought a pack of cigarettes from the waiter. They were the most common types on the street, which the characters in the movie could afford.

Slater poured a glass of wine first, handed it over, and motioned for Gu Qingchi to kill it, Gu Qingchi smiled a little after taking it, he had never had a drink during his work.

He raised his head, and his Adam's apple moved twice, but there was no sound, and the glass of wine quickly drained.

Slater nodded in satisfaction.

He handed Gu Qingchi another cigarette.

"Try?"

Gu Qingchi bit his mouth hesitantly.

Slater lit the lighter and stepped forward to light it for him.

Gu Qingchi lowered his head and approached the lighter in Slater's hand.

Slater guided Gu Qingchi.

"Breathe it, don't let it burn itself."

Gu Qingchi took a big breath obediently, and the green smoke came out all at once. He coughed a few times, lowered his head, tears flowed out uncontrollably, and he still had a cigarette in his mouth.

The cigarette has been put out.

Slater brought the lighter closer to Gu Qingchi again, and said persuasively.

"Everyone has a time at the beginning, boy, let's try again."

Gu Qingchi had already taken the cigarette out of his mouth and held it between his fingers, but he bit it back after hearing the words, showing a very serious attitude towards learning.

As soon as the cigarette was near the fire, the cigarette in his mouth was sucked away.

Colenso stepped on the sofa where Gu Qingchi was sitting with one leg, half-kneeled on the back of the sofa chair with one leg, and surrounded Gu Qingchi from behind.

He was at the table behind Gu Qingchi just now, and he didn't know how long he had been listening.

Behind him were a few friends, both black and white, and they all stood up at the moment, standing behind Colenso, looking over with unkind eyes.

Colenso looked at Slater.

He has seen this kind of people a lot. Their things are all stuffed. They just find people to play tricks. It’s free at first, and then when you can’t do without, they can keep sucking blood from you. This kind of trick is Even the eight-year-old girl next door to Colenso knew.

This is the kind of kid from a rich family who has never seen the world will be tricked into the trap.

Colenso held the cigarette he had snatched from Gu Qingchi in his hand, shrugged his nose, and said in a bad tone.

"Old fox, put away your little tricks here, and obey the rules if you don't want to be beaten."

The little dreadlock behind Colenso put his hands in the pockets of his denim jacket, and he also spoke. He spoke very fast and rhythmically, as if he was rapping.

"Where did you come from before? We still dare to mess around in front of our heads. You dare to pee in the Queen's Ballroom without knowing the rules. People like you have either been involved in the police before, or they are still helping to clean up the garbage in the community."

Surrounded by such a group of people, Slater was not only not afraid, but also quite excited, pointing at Colenso and talking to Gu Qingchi.

Slater has already extended biographies for each character.

"It's this kind of ruthlessness, it's this kind of arrogance. That character is like this. He is the only Asian in the school. He was obedient at the beginning, but then changed. His dignity is earned by himself little by little. of."
