Chapter 302: Inexplicable Life
Xu Hao's audition was very successful, and his acting skills were unanimously recognized by everyone present.
After the audition, Chen Guofu left Xu Hao alone and chatted in the office, mainly to talk about his understanding of "My Girlfriend Who Ran Long Distance with Me for Ten Years Is About to Get Married".
Xu Hao, who has done a lot of homework, naturally answered the head of the way.
Finally, Chen Guofu suddenly asked: "Xu Hao, do you think that if you come to shoot, what kind of style will you make this story into?" β
Xu Hao thought for a while: "My words...... In fact, I think it depends on the intention of making this movie, if it is made according to a literary film, of course, it is to dig behind this story. Love is the packaging, and it takes effort to express the interaction between young people and life, presenting a microcosm of an era, how young people fight and work hard when they encounter difficulties. β
"What if it's a commercial film?" Chen Guofu asked.
"If it is commercial, then dilute the sharp social pressure shown in the story, as far as my own shallow opinion is concerned, commercial films should still be light-hearted. The story of Lu Qinyang and Ling Yiyao is too bumpy, and while people are moved, they will give birth to a kind of helplessness against reality, which is depressing and not good. β
Chen Guofu was very interested: "How will you solve it?" β
Xu Hao also let go and said: "It's a good way to learn from "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", but I have another interpretation. Let me tell you how I knew the story...... In fact, when the original post was published, I was still young and didn't have any contact with it. I first learned this story through Chen. β
"Me?" Chen Guofu was surprised for a moment, and then asked, "It was the movie that arranged the audition, so you went to learn about this story?" β
"No, it was in 2015. At that time, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" was promoted, didn't you and Director Wu Ershan go to the Film Museum to have a discussion, and then when you chatted, you mentioned this story, and Director Wu Ershan also asked you when you would shoot. I was mindful of it right then. I went back and bought a novel, and after reading it, I couldn't suppress my feelings. β
Xu Hao paused and continued: "I just had a little start in my career at that time, and I was filming a supporting role in a TV series, and I couldn't help but give birth to the urge to play Lu Qinyang, his kind of confusion and distress in frustration, I have experienced. I am also an ordinary person, and I went to Hengdian only after failing the college entrance examination. β
"Hey, aren't you the top student in the college entrance examination?"
"I'm repeating that."
"Oh, okay, please continue."
"Because of this impulse, I pondered for a long time how I should play Lu Qinyang. Later, until Huayi Brothers, the news that the movie was directed by you was released. When I started auditioning, I remembered a lot of my thoughts again. Privately, I. I also pondered how to make a script for this movie. β
"Oh, tell me."
"I may be a little naΓ―ve in my thinking. I was thinking that "My Girlfriend Who Ran Long Distance with Me for Ten Years Is About to Get Married" is a tragedy, but it can be changed into an inspirational drama, and the original author gave three endings. With a happy ending, Lu Qinyang went to take Luo Jingyu's showdown, persuaded Luo Jingyu to give up, and he reconciled with Ling Yiyao. β
Seeing that Chen Guofu listened carefully, Xu Hao also said energetically: "Use this ending to deduce the previous story." Turn the bumpy long-distance running love into an inspirational story. The movie can be divided into three paragraphs, the beautiful first love of the student days, the huge pressure of the real society, and the feat of breaking the pressure to save love. β
As he spoke, Xu Hao simply picked up paper and pen from the table, and explained his thoughts while writing and drawing.
He is not a director or screenwriter, and his ideas may be very naΓ―ve, but Xu Hao feels that he is so brave to say his thoughts, at least to prove himself, and has thought deeply about this role, not to take on the role and deal with it perfunctorily.
An actor who can think will always add a little point.
"Watching movies now, many people will have a feeling, what the feeling is, it's hard to say. But the wish that I didn't cherish before, or couldn't realize, has left regrets now, which is also a feeling, or a feeling that many people are haunted by. We can make up for such regrets in the movie, at least give the audience a feeling, 'If I had insisted like this back then, maybe I could have recovered my love'......"
The conversation with Chen Guofu went very smoothly.
Xu Hao's thoughts, Chen Guofu did not agree or refute, but he used Xu Hao's ideas to explain a lot of things he wanted to do as a director.
It's as if he has regarded Xu Hao as the starring role, and is talking to him about how to create the role of Lu Qinyang.
This made Xu Hao very excited.
After chatting for more than an hour, Chen Guofu said: "Xu Hao, you have a lot of ideas, learn from me as a director...... Haha, just kidding, you go back and wait for the news first, once we pass the study, we will call you at any time, I hope you can be ready and arrange the schedule. β
"Okay, Director Chen, my schedule is always reserved for the movie." Xu Hao hurriedly expressed how much he attached importance to this movie.
Then he said goodbye and left, and when he left, a good mood overflowed his chest.
β¦β¦
In the next time, Xu Hao was at school with peace of mind, while patiently waiting for the news of "My Girlfriend Who Ran Long Distance with Me for Ten Years Is About to Get Married".
The audition worked very well, which gave Xu Hao a lot of confidence in the role.
It's just a pity that halfway through May, the weather has begun to get hot, and there is still no news from the crew of "Girlfriend of Ten Years".
This caused Xu Hao to have a lot of troubles, and the original mood of anticipation gradually became disappointed.
There was no news for half a month, and it was almost certain that the crew did not choose him in the end.
It's frustrating.
Not wanting to be bored in the dormitory, Xu Hao chose to run out to play alone. Jing has been studying and filming for so long, except for a few times when I first came here, I haven't gone out much. It just so happened that there were no classes in the department today, and he had time to go out.
Carrying a sketching board on his back and holding a folding stool, he took the car to prepare to go to the International Sculpture Park.
When he put his things in the back seat of the taxi, he took off his cap and wiped the sweat from his forehead. I put it on again. The driver, who had been looking in the rearview mirror, suddenly spoke: "You are Xu Hao, right?" β
"Ah, master, do you know me?" Xu Hao asked in surprise.
"I know, I've seen the TV series you played called Lightyear or something, it's funny, I heard that you are the top student in the college entrance examination, right?"
"Light Years Away, First Encounter with You". Luckily, I did well in the college entrance examination. was recognized, and Xu Hao didn't wear a hat to hide it.
He is now well-known, because of the craze of "First Meeting with You Light Years Away", many young post-90s generations know him, and occasionally go out to eat out at the school gate, and will be recognized by passers-by, and then ask him for a group photo. How to say it, he is also a second-tier actor and star.
At first, Xu Hao was quite proud, and he could be recognized when he walked on the street. But if there are too many times, it doesn't matter.
Seeing that the driver master knew himself, he happily talked with the driver. The drivers in the capital are very talkative, they are omniscient, a mouthful of Beijing films, and occasionally drag two foreign words, which is quite classy.
Arrived at the International Sculpture Park in Shijingshan. Xu Hao gave money, and the driver did not hesitate at all. Just take it.
This made Xu Hao slightly injured, and his star aura was still too weak. If he is a big star, the driver may not collect money.
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"
After entering the park, Xu Hao began to look for a place. Put down the folding stool, set up the sketch board, and sketch in front of the sculpture.
North. Beijing International Sculpture Park, mainly to collect, display domestic and foreign sculpture works, the park has collected more than 200 pieces of excellent sculptures, reliefs, murals. There are many sculptures and beautiful scenery, which is a good place for sketching.
Although he no longer needs to take the art exam, Xu Hao still doesn't put down painting, and he paints when he has time, which is his amateur interest.
The folding chair has a parasol inserted in it, which is also cool. Drink saliva when you're thirsty, and eat a strip of beef jerky when you're hungry. Pencil brushes, erasers, and powerful lines outline the demeanor of the fish bone sculpture.
It's not pleasant to steal a half-day of leisure.
Xu Hao, who entered his own world, didn't notice that one of the female tourists who came to the park was holding a single-lens reflex camera, looking for the beautiful scenery in the park.
Just at this moment, the sunlight passed through the top of the pine tree and sprinkled on the ground in front of Xu Hao, mottled a little bit, reflecting Xu Hao's illusory figure. Under the parasol, the gentle side, with a slight smile, blends in with the surrounding scenery.

The female tourist raised her DSLR camera and recorded the beauty of this moment in the camera.
She didn't bother Xu Hao, left quietly, and continued to look for beautiful things. Until dark, after the female tourist returns home, she uploads today's results to the computer and begins to select and compare them one by one. When she saw Xu Hao taken by herself again, she only felt that this photo was full of attractive beauty.
In the photo, Xu Hao is facing the camera sideways, and he can see most of his face, and the expression on it is tranquil and quiet, as if his lover is gazing affectionately.
"It's so beautiful! Poetic! Today's biggest takeaway! β
The female tourist picked out the photo and uploaded it to her micro. Bozhong, her micro. Bo does not have a V, and he is a photography enthusiast, but he has more than 30,000 fans, and he is also well-known in the photography circle.
She uploaded Xu Hao's photo with a four-word caption.
"Great Artist."
At first, this photo was just forwarded among her fans, and fans praised her for her good composition, and the photo was very artistic.
As more and more people reposted the photos, some people began to recognize them, this is Xu Hao.
Then it passed more and more, and all of a sudden it was in micro. Bo became popular, and countless netizens forwarded it in their circle of friends, and then crowned it with titles such as "big artist", "most handsome painter", "male god", etc., and went directly to the hot topic.
Xu Hao, who was still depressed about the lack of news from the crew, didn't know at all that he had just gone out to sketch once, and his photos became popular on the Internet.
Life is so inexplicable. (To be continued......)
