Before and After Divorce

Xiaohong relies on support, Dahong relies on life.

Xia Tingwan is the perfect proof of this sentence.

After him, no one in the circle can replicate this legendary path.

National treasure-level director Xu Zhe was auditioning for leading actors in H City before filming "Whale Language".

Compared with Xu Zhe's fame, the audition studio can be called shabby and shabby. There is a table cramped in a small room. There are only lunch boxes and a few bottles of mineral water on the table. The director, producer and assistants are all crowded. Beside the table, lying on the open space in front of the table, was a skinny little native dog.

"You are 16 years old, your mother ran away from home, your father was drinking and punching you all the time, and your puppy is your only companion, imagine, after you just got beaten up, only the puppy is with you How do you interact with it, act it out."

This is the title that Director Xu came up with.

Xing Le only thought for a few minutes before quickly getting into the scene.

The realistic lameness when walking shows where the injury is, and when he picked up the puppy, he looked at Director Xu with pitiful eyes, "In this world, I only have you, Qiuqiu..." Even when speaking, the corners of the mouth Do not forget to tremble a few times.

From the management of the body to the expression, it is worthy of being from the acting department, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Xu Zhe half-closed his eyes, and suddenly interrupted: "What do you think of the acting?"

When he said this, he turned his head to look at Xia Tingwan who was standing in a small shadow.

Xia Tingwan was still holding half a cigarette between his fingers, he couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and then replied casually: "The acting was very good."

Xu Zhe stood up and took two steps forward, then sat on the table and looked at Xia Tingwan: "Why don't you come and try?"

Xing Le, who was left on the sidelines, was a little embarrassed. He looked at Xu Zhe, then at Xia Tingwan, and gently put down the puppy in his arms, but he didn't speak rashly.

Xia Tingwan shook his head: "I don't know how to act."

Xu Zhe listened, stroked the stubble on his chin, and leaned forward: "If you don't act, just tell me, if it were you, how would you act."

Xia Tingwan showed an impatient expression, he was an outsider and didn't have much respect for Xu Zhe.

But after all, he came with Xing Le, so it's hard to refuse.

"If it's me, if the puppy comes close, I will kick it away first. If it barks in pain, I will hug it and comfort it."

When Xia Tingwan said this, he took a puff of cigarette and then raised his head and exhaled slowly, his eyes became blurred in the curling smoke: "If you were really beaten hard, you would know——you can't Treat the puppy because it is cute; you are not that generous. You are only willing to love it because it hurts and hurts."

Xu Zhe listened and finally smiled for the first time.

He lowered his head, took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket and lit it, then said directly to Xia Tingwan: "Come and try it, how about it?"

Later, Xu Zhe said in an interview that he felt that something was missing in the book of "Whale Language" until the project was approved. It was not until the audition that he found Xia Tingwan that he finally made up for that little soul.

The fate of people is paradoxical.

Two years later, "Whale Language" entered Cannes and was shortlisted for numerous awards. Although it lost the best picture category in the end, Xia Tingwan became the youngest actor in 30 years.

His brilliance overshadowed all the male actors of the same year.

The editor-in-chief of "VOGUE" very presciently published a comment on Xia Tingwan:

"Maps are flat, history is long, and aesthetics are round.

After the Wei and Jin Dynasties are gone, the prosperous Tang Dynasty will come. After the prosperous Tang Dynasty is gone, where the aesthetics will flow depends on where the tide of the times is rushing.

High, orthodox masculinity has hit the rocks under the tide of recession.

Depressed, gloomy, fragile, proud.

Xia Tingwan is a monstrously beautiful color from the deep sea, he is the symbol of the aesthetics of the next era, before he even realizes it. "

In the same year, Xing Le finally starred in his first idol drama, and later relied on his minor fame to participate in a slow variety reality show.

Xing Le confided in the show the process of the audition for "Whale Language", he said with a smile:

"Some people are born to eat this bowl of rice. I can't compare to it, I can only envy it, but Xia Tingwan and I have always been friends."

"The map is flat, the history is long, and the art is sharp." Quoted from Mu Xin's "Su Lu Past"

The popular track of "Whale Language" is different from ordinary hits.

Xu Zhe is a born director, perhaps because he had created a miracle at the box office when he was young. At the age of nearly 50, he has long understood the truth that box office and art cannot have both.

No press releases have been issued, and the actors employed do not have a lot of traffic. Except for the old actors, they are new faces like Xia Tingwan. Therefore, there has not been any big disturbance in the domestic public opinion circle, only in the ashes of fans. Discussion on a small scale.

Until "Whale Language" became a blockbuster in Cannes, the show magazine received a shocking evaluation of nearly full marks, and the new actor also won the Best Actor in one fell swoop.

Overnight, the heated discussion and admiration of "Whale Language" became a carnival in the literary and art circles.If you haven't watched "Whale Language", you are not a qualified film critic; if you don't talk about Xia Tingwan, you are not enough to be in the entertainment industry.

In that June, "Whale Language" had an unprecedented impact on public opinion in the domestic entertainment industry.

In addition to receiving professional affirmation, it is also because the fineness of "The Whale" is so fascinating.

The atmosphere of the film itself envelops people outside the film like a melancholy dream from the deep sea.

At the end of the movie, Xiao Xia, played by Xia Tingwan, is naked and blood-stained, and jumps off the pier amidst the roiling stench.

That is a slow motion that is destined to be recorded in film history.

The blue to rich sea water enveloped Xiao Xia, and the naked body was covered with dark and hideous scars, and then, the blood melted into the sea one by one.

Amidst the roar of the freighter coming from a distance, the boy sank cleanly into the bottom of the sea.

The sea was still calm, as if this 16-year-old boy had never existed in this world.

"Xiaoxia is lonely. At the age of 16, he was repeatedly brutally beaten and sexually assaulted by his father. In his obscure life, only Teacher Zhao's biology class is a bright spot. I found that the only person I respect also has an unknown side behind it. That night, Xiao Xia collapsed.

After completing the violent yet romantic revenge against the world, Xiao Xia left and returned to his own deep sea.

'Whale language' is the language of loneliness, the language of children who have experienced domestic violence.Xia Tingwan has mastered this language, which is the core of "Whale Language" so shocking. His fragility, gloomy and faint longing look from time to time will make audiences in any country fall in love with him. broken. "

Well-known film critics pointed to the true essence of the Xia Tingwan phenomenon——

In fact, Xia Tingwan couldn't be regarded as a high-quality idol since he became popular.

He is often photographed in and out of nightclubs, smoking, habitually late, and absent-minded during interviews, but no one blames him for this. The media writes him as a melancholy teenager in the literary and art world, and the public only thinks he is a wounded one. child.

There was a certain chemical reaction between the characters of Xia Tingwan and Xiao Xia, and the audience felt empathy for Xiao Xia, and thus empathized for Xia Tingwan.

The audience felt sorry for him.

The beauty of Xia Tingwan is endowed with fragile, gloomy and extreme spiritual symbols.

The more unrestrained he is, the more fanatical he is sought after. It was in this kind of dangerous climax that Xia Tingwan met Su Yan.

Su Yan is the real person in power of the Hengtai Su Group's generation, and a new type of dignitary living in Xiangshan.

But when Xia Tingwan met Su Yan for the first time, Su Yan was his fan.

-

The crew of "Whale Language" held a media meeting at the Peninsula Hotel in H City that day.

Although it is considered a small film salon in nature, due to the popularity of "Whale Language" at the time, directors, screenwriters, magazine writers, well-known film critics and even celebrities came here, so it is more like a grand event in the cultural circle .

Not only that, outside the Peninsula Hotel, there are a large number of movie fans and fan groups guarding Xia Tingwan and Xu Zhe.

Xia Tingwan never liked to participate in such media activities. He hated restraint and couldn't memorize every official answer in a regular manner, so every time he participated in similar activities, he felt irritable.

Xia Tingwan was in a hangover state that day, and when he rushed to the Peninsula Hotel, although he was not delirious, he was indeed a little dizzy.

Of course, such a state is absolutely unacceptable. Although he looks like he does his own way and is free, in fact he often feels guilty in his heart.

So before Xu Zhe and his manager could catch him, he slipped into the guest lounge, put his head under the faucet and rushed, trying to wake up before the meeting started.

When he raised his head again, through the water droplets all over his face, he saw a man standing not far behind from the big dressing mirror.

That man is Su Yan.

Su Yan was half a head taller than Xia Ting, in his 30s, holding a red gold cane in his right hand.

There is a beauty groove on his chin, the bridge of his nose can be said to be sharp, and a pair of light gray eyes.

He has a kind of eye-catching, even if he just stands there quietly, it will make people feel that he is arrogant and decent.

Xia Tingwan met his eyes, one second he felt being looked at from above, but the next second he felt that pair of light gray pupils were gentle and deep.

At that time, Xia Tingwan was at the busiest time in the entertainment industry. He was surrounded by dazzling models, actors and stars, so he didn't think Su Yan was so handsome.

But he always secretly thought that Su Yan was cool.

"Wipe it."

When Xia Tingwan was still at a loss, Su Yan first took out a wine red silk scarf from the breast pocket of his suit and handed it over.

Only then did Xia Tingwan realize how wet he was, and just as he subconsciously wanted to refuse in embarrassment, Su Yan continued: "You still smell a little bit of alcohol, just wash your face, and others will still know it. Wipe it, it'll be better. "

Su Yan's speech was very slow, and the slowness carried a kind of magnetism.

His voice is deep, thick but not heavy, but rather clear, like a Tianlang subwoofer in his chest. Once it is played, everyone must obey.

Xia Tingwan took the scarf and put it on his face, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of cologne, and only then did he understand what Su Yan meant.

He just wanted to hand the scarf back after wiping his face, but he stretched his hand halfway, and felt impolite, but Su Yan took it very naturally, folded it into a sharp corner and put it back into the breast pocket of his suit.

"Please."

He opened the door of the lounge and made a movement with his cane to let Xia Tingwan go first.

Xia Tingwan felt as if he was being manipulated, and was about to leave when he suddenly felt unwilling, so he stopped and asked a somewhat abrupt question: "Who are you?"

Su Yan smiled shallowly: "Your movie fan."

When he laughed, the groove in his chin deepened.
