~10 min read 1,930 words

Nanjing, "Dying to Survive" crew.

Xu Can thought that being away from Swift and Stone would give his little brother a vacation.

Didn't expect it to be even more diligent.

Song Qian is in the crew, seeing her every time he looks up.

In his past life, he went to school in Nanjing, and all the places around him had been visited, there was nothing to play, and he could only stay in the hotel after filming.

Song Qian likes to talk to him about the script, for such an aspiring actress, Xu Can, as a director, cannot make people feel cold.

So the two often talked until late at night, and Song Qian could always absorb the essence from Xu Can to improve herself.

Xu Can could also consolidate his understanding of performance by outputting insights, which is mutually beneficial.

Song Qian's husband Xu Zheng hung the name of producer, but most of the time he was not on the set.

Sometimes Xu Can and she were talking about the script, and Xu Zheng would call.

Xu Can let her answer the phone, and when talking about the script, it didn't delay her answering the phone.

"What are you doing? Are you asleep?"

"No, I, I'm reading the script."

"Oh, reading the script so late, why do I feel you are very tired, panting?"

"Ah, running, want to exercise... exercise."

"Didn't you say you were reading the script?"

"Yes, reading the script while running, I can't do it..."

Xu Zheng felt awe in his heart, his wife is too dedicated!

Besides the episode of talking about the script, the filming of "Dying to Survive" went quite smoothly.

As the lead actor, Xu Can had the same experience at the moment of filming.

The life of the protagonist Cheng Yong flashed through Xu Can's mind,

everything was as if he had experienced it himself, and formed his own memory.

Originally the family was happy, with a wife and children, and his own business, the future seemed so beautiful.

Until the moment he held the inspection report, the whole world seemed to collapse.

Chronic myeloid leukemia!

Chronic phase can alleviate the condition through medicine, 1-5 years enter the transformation phase, life will enter the countdown, dying due to infection, bleeding, or systemic organ failure.

In order to treat the disease, Cheng Yong emptied his family fortune to buy sky-high imported medicine.

During this period, his wife and children were separated, and only he was left lingering on his last breath.

Rich people might still be able to use money to prolong their lives, but poor people don't even have the qualification to prolong their lives.

At first, buying generic drugs was just to prolong his own life, but seeing those numb faces of walking corpses, the fire of life rekindled in their eyes.

Cheng Yong realized at this moment...

"Hiss..."

Xu Can suddenly woke up from the director's chair, everything was so real, it was like he had walked through his life himself.

Most importantly, the moment the protagonist realized, it seemed to open some mysterious door for Xu Can.

That feeling of overlooking the suffering of the world from outside the sky flashed away.

This fusion did not stimulate any special ability, but Xu Can's state of mind seemed to have subtle changes.

Most importantly, his understanding of the whole story has reached a deeper level.

How to mobilize the emotions of the original film more perfectly and make the film achieve better results, Xu Can knew it well.

As an assistant director, Wen Wen Muye originally doubted Xu Can's directing ability.

He is a director from the Beijing Film Academy, graduated with a master's degree in directing, and can be considered a proper academic school.

Xu Can's performance might be world-class, but his independently directed works are currently only "Iron Man" and "La La Land."

A musical, a commercial popcorn movie.

For the filming of serious subjects, perhaps it will not be dug deep enough or detailed enough.

The design of each shot, each detail, each actor's micro-expression, any slight change may bring completely different effects.

However, after filming with Xu Can for a few days, Wen Wen Muye was really an eye-opener.

Directors have detail maniacs like Edward Yang, those who are good at capturing the delicate emotions of characters like Ang Lee, and those who are good at using simple lens language to shape group characters like Coppola.

Academic students who often analyze movies are very familiar with the characteristics of each director,

but Xu Can is simply a genius who integrates the strengths of all families and gathers them into one,

the decades of skill of those masters are used by Xu Can at his fingertips.

The understanding of each shot simply made Wen Wen Muye marvel!

The sentence he said most often is: "Ah? Can it be filmed like this?"

When Xu Can is on camera himself, he will carefully disassemble the next shots for Wen Wen Muye, so that he can better grasp them in the monitor.

Wen Wen Muye even had the feeling of listening to a mentor's lecture, dreaming back to campus.

Xu Can is so young, he wouldn't be directing since he was in his mother's womb, right?

Clearly debuted as Spider-Man!

In short, under Xu Can's perfect performance, "Dying to Survive" finished filming at light speed after more than two months of filming.

Before leaving, Xu Can went to find Song Qian again, this was the last time the two talked about the script.

"Any plans for later?"

"Don't know. Return to the original life, occasionally film."

Song Qian's smile has a sense of loss and helplessness when the trip ends and she is about to go home to face reality.

Xu Can wanted to say something to comfort her, but he found it meaningless.

After all, she is no longer an ignorant girl who has just come out of the cottage, saying some nice and useless nonsense will make her feel uncomfortable instead.

It is better to simply feel this moment and continue to face the original life later.

Xu Can just tightened his hand and gave her more temperature.

Song Qian also seemed to like this feeling, leaned gently on Xu Can's chest and closed her eyes, feeling the beating of his young heart,

at some moment, it seemed as if she had returned to her girlhood.

Returning to Los Angeles, the person picking up the plane was not the assistant Vanessa.

Emma Stone came to pick up the plane herself because she missed him too much.

In addition, Swift thought of the same thing and planned to drive over, but was quickly persuaded by Xu Can.

Xu Can didn't want to experience the Shura field last time, he flew for more than ten hours and just wanted to go back and lie flat.

Stone acted like a spy meeting, with big sunglasses and a duck-tongue cap covered tightly.

Because of playing Gwen, "La La Land" Mia, and "Twilight" Bella, she is currently a hot first-line female star.

If she didn't want to see Xu Can for the first time, she wouldn't have taken such a risk to come out.

As for Xu Can, there is no need to disguise too much.

Just wear a pair of sunglasses, and then mobilize his performance attributes, the neighbor boy Peter Parker, the low-key killer John Wick, or just an ordinary medicine seller Cheng Yong...

Entering the performance state, experienced paparazzi are also difficult to find Xu Can in the crowd, even if Xu Can is standing on the other's face.

What's more, with super vision and induction, Xu Can can scan the airport at a glance and pick out all the paparazzi hiding in the dark.

He can completely avoid the sight of all paparazzi, meet Stone swaggeringly, and even kiss in public.

"Did you miss me?"

"What do you think? Let you feel the power of missing when you go back."

"So Dirty Stop it!" Stone coquettishly, "There are people in the car."

Xu Can sat in the passenger seat and found that there was a familiar face in the back row, listening awkwardly to the two flirting.

"Hey, long time no see."

"Hey, KK, long time no see."

Kristen Stewart?

"Recently, you were not here, KK often came to find me to play, sometimes we even slept together and talked until midnight."

"Wait, What?"

Xu Can's expression suddenly became strange.

He knew Kristen Stewart's thoughts, does this count as some kind of home stealing?

This little girl Kristen even raised her eyebrows at him proudly.

Xu Can glared back fiercely.

Just wait, I'll clean you up when I go back!

Drove directly to Stone's villa, she bought a two-story small building not far from Beverly Hills, which was quite warm.

Stone said that this is Xu Can's harbor, and he is the master of the house here.

After entering the room, Stone also wanted Xu Can to take a shower and rest early.

"You wash first, I've been on the plane for too long, I need to deal with some emails."

"Alright, then I'll go wash, you chat with KK for a while."

Stone just entered the bathroom, Xu Can turned around and pushed Kristen against the wall.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, I'm looking for friends to play, it's normal, right." Kristen raised her chin proudly.

"Did you do anything strange?" Xu Can's eyes were sharp.

Perhaps it was John Wick's momentum, Kristen panicked instantly.

"No, we just chatted normally, Emma hasn't found out yet."

"Better be that way."

"Why are you so overbearing? You already have Taylor, why don't you let Emma go?"

Kristen mustered her last bit of courage to question.

"Last time I said it... it has nothing to do with you."

Xu Can leaned into her ear and said in a deep voice.

Actually, he originally wanted to warn her, don't think that she is a woman and has something to do with him, so she can do whatever she wants.

As a result, Kristen's delicate body trembled, and her ears turned red instantly.

Hmm?

What is this reaction?

But she is quite fragrant, it seems to be Chanel's limited edition gardenia perfume.

Xu Can couldn't help but sniff a few more times, just as he was about to let her go, Kristen suddenly hugged Xu Can's waist and kissed him wildly.

Emma Stone in the bathroom was originally soaking in the bath, she was a little worried that Xu Can and Kristen were not familiar, and it would be awkward to talk.

She thought about finishing the bath and going out quickly.

After a while, Emma suddenly found that the water surface was fluctuating, which was not caused by herself.

"Hmm? Why does it feel like it's shaking somewhere, it's estimated to be an illusion?"

After taking a shower, Emma came to the living room in a bathrobe,

Xu Can was focused on working on the computer, Kristen was watching TV, and the TV was playing the recently popular "The Big Bang Theory,"

Kristen's laughter point seemed to be very high, she hadn't laughed all the time, and her face was red, as if she had just exercised.

"They are really not familiar, the atmosphere is really strange, my negligence."

Stone smiled embarrassedly.

"KK, baby, shall we play Fight the Landlord?"

Originally they were all playing Texas Hold'em, under the influence of Xu Can, whether it was Swift or Stone, they quickly became obsessed with the Fight the Landlord from the East.
