endless city

Speaking of Xu Shaoqian and An Yan, one has to mention the only movie they have collaborated in: Endless City.

Xu Shaoqian plays the indifferent genius medical scientist Ke En in the movie.

In the movie, Ke En has a younger brother who loves him very much. The two brothers have depended on each other since they were young. In the sterile culture room, the weak life is maintained by the nutrient solution in vitro.

In order to save his younger brother, Cohen decided to extract the complete gene sequence from his body and create a batch of clones.The purpose of these clones is naturally to be used as organ transplant donors for younger brothers when they grow up.

In the process of cultivating human clones, most of the samples died due to failure. In the end, only two samples survived intact. Because the fifth sample had its own consciousness, it secretly escaped from the laboratory when it was biologically old. The one who is more obedient is the No. 5 clone played by An Yan, a boy called "Little Seven" by the doctor.

Xiao Qi is simply the most perfect masterpiece in the history of human cloning.He is smart, healthy, and has a lively personality. It took only a few years to create a clone that looks completely indistinguishable from ordinary humans.

Unexpectedly, when Cohen was about to perform an organ transplant for his younger brother, disaster struck suddenly, and the raging virus engulfed the entire city. He had to freeze his younger brother's body in the basement, and hurriedly escaped with the clone.

It wasn't until a year later that the two of them went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and finally returned to the endless city.

Rescuing her frozen brother from the closed underground laboratory, looking at the almost identical face, Xiao Qi finally knew her true life experience.

Turns out he was just a clone.No rights to any human beings, only test subjects for organ transplantation.Just like a guinea pig bred in a laboratory, any doctor can cut open his body with a scalpel and take out his organs for so-called research...

At the end of the film, there is a rival scene between the two male protagonists. With a smile on his lips, Dr. Cohen stood beside the test bench, injected a transparent anesthetic into Xiaoqi's blood vessel, and said in a low voice, "You are made by me. , I will destroy it with my own hands.”

As the cold medicine flowed into his body, Xiao Qi's lips quickly lost their color, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice became indistinct due to choking, "For so many years... I have been... dying for you...you...have you ever... for me……"

"No." Dr. Cohen interrupted him calmly, "The purpose of creating you was to transplant your organs to him. This is your mission and the meaning of your existence."

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, with a bitter smile on his lips: "I understand."

The moment he closed his eyes, a crystal tear rolled down the corner of his eye.

The scene of the poor clone living with the doctor suddenly played back on the screen of the movie. There were scenes of warm and sweet scenes, but at this moment, it seems extremely ironic.

In the picture on the other side, Dr. Cohen put on his gloves expressionlessly, picked up a scalpel, and cut open Xiaoqi's chest.

This is a movie with a very strange theme.

Endless City, an endless city, is a city on the edge of the world where countless clones seek to survive in the cracks. Endless love, endless love, unending, unresponsive, hopeless love.

The word "endless" is perfectly interpreted in the movie.

The sad theme and gloomy tone vividly set off the tragic fate and desperate feelings of the protagonist.

Many viewers said that after watching the movie, their mood was extremely depressed, and An Yan's acting skills were outstanding. In the play, the clone who was always smiling and circling around the doctor was played vividly by him, which was particularly distressing.

It is precisely because of An Yan's ability to "pretend to be innocent" that his last rare tear even made the audience cry.

"Endless City" revolves around the relationship between clones and doctors. An Yan and Xu Shaoqian have a lot of rivalry scenes in the movie. Unfortunately, from the beginning to the end of the movie, the kind of emotion to be expressed is also very hazy. Never held hands.

But even so, the two who walked on the Avenue of Stars together because they played the role of "lovers", no matter in appearance or temperament, even the height difference of 5cm, in the eyes of outsiders, there is a subtle sense of "fitness".

-

The reception host had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. Seeing the two people approaching, he immediately handed over the microphone enthusiastically.

"Welcome Shaoqian and An Yan! I didn't expect the two to arrive at the scene at the same time. Is this an appointment in advance?"

An Yan leaned over to the microphone and jokingly said: "Shaoqian is a very busy person. I don't even know when he will return to China. How can I make an appointment in advance? I want to see him, and I have to make an appointment with his agent. I have to wait in line. Wait until next year." Then he turned his head and looked at Xu Shaoqian with a smile, "Is that right, Shaoqian?"

Xu Shaoqian cooperated with him very much, and even gave An Yan face in front of the media. He met An Yan's eyes, gave a rare smile, moved his lips to the microphone he handed over, and echoed in a low voice: "I just returned to China not long ago, Meeting An Yan here is indeed a coincidence."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The tacit answer could not find any loopholes, so the host stopped pursuing it, and simply changed the topic, turned to ask Xu Shaoqian, "Shaoqian, Endless City is the first cooperation between you and An Yan, yes ?"

"Ah."

"As the number one actor, how do you evaluate the acting skills of this rookie, An Yan?"

Xu Shaoqian said calmly: "An Yan is very serious about filming, he has memorized the script by heart, and his understanding of the characters is also very good. I am very happy to cooperate with him."

This is too...too official, right?

The host had no choice but to hand over the microphone to An Yan, "Where is An Yan? We all know that you came from acting in idol dramas. It's the first time you try this kind of drama-style movie, or cooperate with actor Xu Shaoqian. How do you feel? Psychological pressure?"

An Yan smiled and said: "There is naturally psychological pressure. After all, it is the first time I act in a movie, and I am worried that I will not grasp it well. Fortunately, Shaoqian is easy to get along with and infected by him. I can always bring the role into the role immediately. .As a senior in the film industry, he also took good care of me in the film crew. It can be said that Shaoqian helped me a lot in making the filming of Endless City so smooth."

host:"……"

My cooperation with An Yan is very pleasant, and Shaoqian has helped me a lot... Are you sure you two haven't agreed in private?Why is there a feeling that two people are "singing and following"?

Obviously, regardless of their personal relationship, the two stood in the same camp tacitly in front of the media.During this period of time, there were too many rumors of their disagreement, An Yan specially thanked Xu Shaoqian in public, and also wanted to ease the tense atmosphere between the fans of both sides.

But in fact, the filming of the rivalry between the two was extremely difficult.

I don't know what's going on with Xu Shaoqian, as the No. [-] actor, who has always been rated as the representative of the acting school, he actually lost his mind frequently during filming.Facing Xu Shaoqian's cold gaze, An Yan always felt uncomfortable all over his body. Their rivalry scenes were always interrupted by the director with all kinds of weird "forgotten words" and "wrong expressions".

In the original script, there is actually a sentence "I like you" and a "deep kiss of farewell on the operating table".

However, An Yan firmly stated that as a popular idol, he must never confess to a man in front of the screen, let alone be kissed by a man, let alone that man is his "brother's friend".Let him be kissed deeply by Xu Shaoqian in front of so many people, it is better to strip his clothes and let him run naked on the street.

Although An Yan's description is a bit exaggerated, he has always been eloquent. Under his shameless coquettishness, shamelessness, and strong protest, the director who has always been iron-fisted was actually persuaded by him to delete this kiss scene.

An Yan happily sent a text message to Xu Shaoqian: "Shaoqian, I have some good news for you, the kiss scene is no longer needed, I finally convinced the director with my lips, thank you ^_^"

Xu Shaoqian read the text message in silence for half a minute before replying with stiff fingers: "Got it."

The moment he put down the phone, a trace of unconcealable disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Xu Shaoqian never told anyone how much he was looking forward to that rare kiss scene, because that might be the moment when he was the closest to An Yan since he was a child, it was a luxurious wish that only appeared in dreams .

-

Probably because the two of them answered all kinds of questions too uniformly, the host couldn't gossip about anything, so he had no choice but to let them go and let them enter the venue.

The awards ceremony hadn't even started yet, but the scene was very lively. Some old friends from the industry gathered to chat in twos and threes.

An Yan is very popular in the entertainment industry, and when he speaks good things, it is as sweet as honey. Many actresses in the industry like to deal with him.

It is precisely because of this that An Yan's lace news is always constant, and the rumored object is exchanged, which can be compiled into a wonderful suspenseful story.What's even more embarrassing is that he always smiles and plays Tai Chi when facing reporters' questions, so that everyone will never know whether he has a girlfriend—or how many girlfriends does he have?

Xu Shaoqian was the complete opposite.Since his debut, he has never had an affair with any actress.

Even the paparazzi like An Yan more than Xu Shaoqian.Digging news with An Yan is very easy to do, and taking a random photo is eye-catching.On the contrary, Xu Shaoqian is too boring. In his spare time, he either lifts barbells in the gym or runs on the sports field.

Unexpectedly, at the film festival at the end of the year, two people with such a big difference in personality actually arrived at the scene at the same time and walked the red carpet together side by side, which surprised the media.Are they really close childhood sweethearts? !

The venue of the awards ceremony was crowded with people, and several beauties greeted An Yan enthusiastically when they saw An Yan. Naturally, An Yan walked over happily, completely leaving Xu Shaoqian aside, and said before, "Take you to find my brother" Sure enough, it was just a temporary shield, surrounded by many beauties, An Yan had completely forgotten about it.

Seeing him circling among a group of beauties, and even hugging a few passionate actresses intimately...

The fist beside Xu Shaoqian's side was clenched suddenly, until he felt a tingling pain in his palm, then he took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards his seat expressionlessly.
