Chapter 59: Night City
Lin Xi felt that he should confirm in person that Yun Yang really wanted to play Wu You, the male protagonist of "Night City", and he was suitable for this role.
If she rashly went to the capital to intercede with Qin Chu, in case Yun Yang didn't want to play Wu You at all, or he was completely unsuitable for this role, wouldn't it be in vain.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Xi came to Shangguan Beichen's house.
After chatting with Yun Yang and Senior Brother Jiu on the sofa in the living room for a while, she asked straight to the point: "Yun Yang, do you want to be the leading actor in the movie "Night City"?" ”
Yun Yang probably didn't expect Lin Xi to ask this question suddenly, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded slowly.
"Yun Yang, have you read the novel Night City?"
Yun Yang nodded.
"Why don't you do it for a while?" Lin Xi looked at Yun Yang with blazing eyes.
"This" Yun Yang scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"Neither I nor Xiaoxi are outsiders, and besides, Xiaoxi has watched Night City no less than five times, so she may be able to give you some advice." Shangguan Beichen's handsome face showed a gentle and encouraging smile.
Yun Yang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xiaoxi, which plot do you want me to play?" ”
The story of "City in the Night" takes place in a place called Moon City.
Moon City is isolated from the world, and the people of Moon City do not know the existence of the outside world, and the outside world does not know the existence of Moon City.
It's like a separate plane and plane.
In the second millennium AD, tens of thousands of aliens suddenly invaded Moon City through a wormhole.
Since then, the whole of Moon City has become only night, and there is no day.
The invaders called themselves gods, and they resembled humans, though they were generally taller than humans, with golden hair and eyes, and faces carved from ice and snow, crystal beautiful but cold.
Moreover, almost all of these "gods" have abilities, and their leader god lord ability is extremely powerful.
After their invasion, humans became their slaves. They wantonly ravaged and slaughtered human beings.
The male protagonist Wu You was born in an ordinary family in Yuecheng, his father is a taxi driver, and his mother is a housewife.
When the gods occupied Moon City, Wu You was in his sophomore year, and he was studying architectural design. He was inspired to become a great architect and designed fabulously beautiful buildings.
However, the invasion of the gods could not help but destroy his dreams and turn him and his parents into slaves.
Later, both of his parents died of overwork.
Wu You has a good brother named Song Yang. The two grew up together and were almost inseparable.
They agreed that if one party was killed, the other would avenge the other.
Although the death of his parents made Wu You hate the high gods and those who claimed to be gods, he did not have the courage to resist the rule of the gods.
It wasn't until later that Wu You witnessed the cruel picture of Song Yang being played to death by the god lord, and after some painful struggle, Wu You finally resolutely embarked on the road of confronting the god master.
"Night City" is a mysterious and passionate novel full of three eternal topics: family, friendship, and love.
Although the love between the male protagonist Wu You and the female protagonist Su Su was also very touching, what moved Lin Xi the most was the true and pure brotherhood between Wu You and Song Yang, which transcended life and death.
After reviewing the story of "City of the Dark Night" in her mind, Lin Xi looked at Yun Yang, who was sitting opposite her, with expectant eyes, and said softly: "Yun Yang, can you play the scene after Song Yang was killed by the god lord?" ”
That scene is about Wu You watching his only brother Song Yang being played with by the god until he died.
When he faced the Divine Lord, his face was still expressionless, as blank as a statue. But there was grief, anger, fear, confusion and struggle in his eyes.
This scene almost shows his inner contradictions vividly.
It is in this contradictory struggle and torment that Wu You's personality has undergone a huge change. He has transformed from a gentle and kind teenager into a dark avenger.
He first greeted the god and flattered him in every possible way. In the end, he killed the god with his own hands.
Having said that, after Song Yang's death, Wu You's initial face to the Divine Lord was extremely challenging. Therefore, Lin Xi felt that if Yun Yang could perform this scene perfectly. It will not be a problem for him to win the role of Wu You.
After Yun Yang listened to Lin Xi's proposal, a trace of emotion that Lin Xi couldn't understand flashed in his big dark and bright eyes, like pain and remorse.
But when Lin Xi wanted to take a closer look, his gaze had become as gentle and calm as usual.
