The day after the completion of “Ghost Face Bottle”, the first trailer for “Dawn City” was released.
Most of the scenes are fighting scenes, starting from Little Gray Wolf’s rescue of Xia Tian, to them fighting side by side, saving each other… The grand scenes and fiery music of the tragic war in the apocalyptic wasteland was intertwined with the sound of gunfire and drums. Light and shadow merged with blood…
Suddenly, all the sounds stopped abruptly, and the picture suddenly darkened.
The dim yellow light came on slowly, and a man held the other young man’s face and stared into his eyes. The next second, he kissed the man’s lips violently, like a moth flying towards the flames.
The barrage suddenly exclaimed:
“Kiss scene ah ah ah ah!”
“Kiss scene! Ahhh!!!”
“This close-up is definitely not fake! They really kiss!”
“It’s hard to end it without getting married.”
“So pretty, playing the scene in a loop!”
“Don’t go, share it?”
Soon, Weibo became lively:
“#ChuYinlong JiangDao Kiss Scene# I’ve really waited a lifetime! [crying]”
“Reply: It has been made into a picture [doge] [picture]”
“Reply: This is too sweet! [crying] Why isn’t July here yet! “
#ChuYinlong JiangDao Kiss Scene# You’re all focused on the kiss, am I the only one who noticed that the look of Father Long is like from ten years ago? Full of youthful feeling, ah!”
“Reply: Hahaha indeed, Father Long has played too many military and police roles in the past two years with wives and children. In my heart, he is already an uncle-level actor hahahaha!
“Reply: Father Long is only thirty, he can barely count as fresh meat in the entertainment industry! [laughing]”
“#ChuYinlong JiangDao Kiss Scene# When are you two going to make your relationship public? [doge]”
“Reply: Last year TangYao was made public, will Father Long Xiao Dao be made public this year?”
“Reply: Good guy, is this a public coming out every year?”
Based on Mu Zhixing’s habit, non-commercial films he directs will never have a film premiere ceremony. Dawn City is naturally the same. From the poster release at the end of April to the trailer in June, the pre-promotion is nothing more than that. On July 7th, the film will be launched directly globally.
Due to the fact that the film contains same-sex elements, the audience is naturally narrower than that of a commercial film, and the box office was also not very good. However, once the film was broadcast, word of mouth and positive evaluation continued to rise.
In particular, Jiang Dao’s acting skills won unanimous praise from the audience almost overnight.
“Having seen Little Gray Wolf, who dares say Jiang Dao is a vase? He is the best Xiao Dao in the world! These eyes are so distressing that I’m crying to death [sob] [picture] [picture] [picture]”
“Reply: Yes! Little Gray Wolf’s character changes so much. I want to love, hate, pity, and even spank him! [crying] Xiao Dao, can you stop playing villains, mother’s heart can’t stand it!”
“Reply: Jess is ruthless, Little Gray Wolf is complicated, whoever tells me that Xiao Dao doesn’t have acting skills in the future is lying!”
“I was pulled by my girlfriend to watch Dawn City together. I didn’t expect to become a fan of the actor who played Little Gray Wolf. [kneeling] What else has he acted?”
“Reply: Jess in “Operation Red Owl”, that’s all for movies. There may be an adventure action film with Brother Long next year, which just finished filming a few days ago. The rest are variety shows. [cover face] He just debuted three years ago, and doesn’t have many works, but welcome to support! [grin]”
“Reply: I am also a male fan, and I strongly recommend “True Wilderness” and “Army Star Class”. After watching, you will also fall in love with him. [doge]”
“I announce that starting today, I will officially change from a CP fan of LongDao to a career fan of Xiao Dao! Xiao Dao, you are excellent! [pray]”
“Reply: Me too! [sob] Even if they’re not real, I will always support them!”
“Reply: [kneeling] This beauty fan has also turned into a career fan, Xiao Dao’s acting skills are really good! [sob]”
A week after the movie was released, a live interview of Jiang Dao and Chu Yinlong was launched on the Central Media Network platform.
Although most of the interview was related to the movie, the focus was slightly tilted towards the two actors, Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao, and asked a lot of things related to the actors themselves.
Their acting habits, their evaluation of each other, and interesting things that happened in the crew were all routine questions, and Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao answered them without hesitation. In line with the filming footage provided by the crew, the two occasionally complained about each other and were very relaxed.
Until–
“The two of you are a couple in the movie, and there are also some more intimate scenes.” The professional smile on the host’s face deepened. “Both of you had your first kiss on the screen. Can you say what it feels like to have a kiss scene with each other?”
Hearing this question, Jiang Dao raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Yinlong.
Chu Yinlong also had difficulty answering – how does it feel? Don’t say they kissed many times before the kiss scene, they even slept together. How can a kiss scene feel? With the camera filming and many people watching, can it be really emotional?
“The feeling of filming a kiss scene with him is,” Jiang Dao responded first, “his mouth is not as hard as it looks.”
Chu Yinlong glanced at Jiang Dao and answered truthfully: “I don’t feel much. The whole crew is watching, we are just acting normally.”
In the barrage of the live broadcast platform, the fans were immediately unhappy.
“What’s the matter with you, Brother Long? Tell us whether Xiao Dao’s mouth is very fragrant, soft and kissable? QAQ”
“Father Long proves the words “hard-mouthed” again!”
“Father Long is hard-mouthed when he speaks, which is why Xiao Dao said that! Hahaha!”
The host didn’t ask any more questions about the kiss scene, and smiled. “In the end, Little Gray Wolf died, and the crying scene was also very emotional.”
After that, she raised her hand and played a tidbit – the scene in which Little Gray Wolf died. The director had already shouted stop, but Chu Yinlong still hugged Jiang Dao and didn’t let go. He dropped a specious kiss on Jiang Dao’s neck, and Jiang Dao also hugged him back and patted him lightly behind his back to comfort him.
The barrage suddenly boiled:
“No way, no way, no way!”
“Brother Long acts like a spoiled brat on set??? Did I enter the wrong live broadcast?”
“Father Long, did you answer your last question correctly?!”
“When I was watching the movie, I burst into tears along with this part. Why did I laugh so hard when I saw the extras?”
The host smiled and asked, “I was also surprised when I saw this tidbit.”
“Cough!” Chu Yinlong tactically cleared his throat, and his ears flushed light red.
Although he seldom blushed and felt shy after experiencing Jiang Dao’s “training” for so long, he was still a little embarrassed to see his distraught state from back then.
However, when this kind of footage is released, it is easy to be misunderstood, thinking that Chu Yinlong is taking advantage of others.
So Jiang Dao quickly explained: “Ah, this is because he was too involved in the play at that time, maybe he was really afraid of my death. Before this part, he was too scared, and suddenly touched my carotid artery in the middle of the performance. Director Mu was so angry that he slapped the table.”
Chu Yinlong also calmed down at this time, and shook his head helplessly. “So this crying scene can’t actually be counted as acting, I was brought into the scene by him.”
He looked at Jiang Dao, and continued: “Xiao Dao is really a good actor, he played this scene very realistically. When I held him, I could feel his body twitch slightly intermittently. His eyes were slack, and his breath was also very weak… It feels as if he is really about to die in my arms, I was… very sad…”
The host said: “It seems that you really attach great importance to him, which is why you feel heartbroken and sad, and why the crying scene is so heart-wrenching.”
Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao looked at each other, suddenly smiled at the same time, and then said in unison:
“When I…”
“He actually…”
They paused at the same time, exchanged glances again, and then looked at the host, but no one spoke for a while.
The silence lasted for a moment, and then—
“Actually he…”
“Although I…”
Again, they stopped talking at the same time.
This time even the host couldn’t help but laugh.
“Chu Yinlong, you say.” Finally, the host opened his mouth and designated.
Chu Yinlong cleared his throat and said: “At that time, although I knew it was filming, I was really suffocated when I saw him seriously injured and dying, and felt very scared… I had nightmares for several days.”
Hearing this, Jiang Dao was surprised: “You had nightmares? Why didn’t I know?”
Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, smiling without saying a word.
At the same time, the barrage repeated:
“How come I didn’t know you had a nightmare?”
“So are you two good enough to sleep in the same bed, or do you tell each other every day what you dream about?”
“Is the cabinet door still blocked?”
“It’s over, I’ve never been a CP fan, but I’ve fallen OTZ1capitalized version of orz, aka kneeling with head down.”
Even the host was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “If you keep doing this, the audience will really misunderstand.”
“I can already imagine what kind of barrage they will post.” Chu Yinlong spread his hands helplessly.
The host asked: “Do you also pay attention to the comments of CP fans?”
Chu Yinlong nodded: “Yes.”
The host asked again: “Then do you ever deliberately create some intimate actions for these CP fans to satisfy their fantasies?”
Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao replied at the same time: “No.”
After the sound fell, Chu Yinlong added: “All our interactions and behaviors are not for show, but our relationship is indeed close. There may be some subconscious physical contact in public, but this is how we usually get along, and not done to satisfy the fantasies of the fans.”
“?????”
“Father Long, do you know what you’re saying!!!”
“What is “subconscious” in public? What do the two of you usually do in private?! Am I crazy or is the world crazy?”
“Ahhhhhhhhhh, it’s an open love affair!!!”
