Like the name of this novel, it tells a story of "the dark world invades the light world".
In this world, no matter how good a novel is, it can be summed up in a simple sentence. For example, the four famous Chinese novels since ancient times, if you insist on summarizing them, you can also say that they are "the story of a group of men who want to rebel", "the story of a man and three animals going on an adventure", "the story of a group of people fighting for the world" and "A Tale of One Man and Many Women."
This kind of generalization has no meaning at all, because a good story cannot be summarized in just one sentence, it is more about expressing a concept, shaping some lives, and creating a world. And "Invasion of Darkness" is the last one.
The author of this novel can be said to be an epoch-making genius. Just for this novel, he created a special language, redefined eighteen races, opened up a new continent in human imagination, and compiled A great epic that lasted thousands of years.
This writer is a Chinese-American writer, so his works contain both Eastern fairy culture and Western fantasy culture.
The heroine Zahia played by An Shaoyang is a female elf. She lives in the Yingyue Forest between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent. She is a dark moon elf among the elves. In this novel, Zhashiya met the male protagonist from the Western Continent. The pursuit of the Western God Court caused the male protagonist to escape into the Yingyue Forest, which eventually caused the destruction of the Yingyue Forest.
Since then, Zhashiya's feelings for the male protagonist have been very complicated. On the one hand, she protected the male protagonist, and she has feelings for the male protagonist; but on the other hand, her behavior caused her hometown to be destroyed by the sacred fire of the sacred court, and became a dead place.
The story begins in such a forest fire. After fleeing for a while, Zahia and the rest of her tribe came to the Eastern Continent with the hero. She believed the hero's words that "darkness is about to invade the world", and set out to fight against the western gods that had been invaded by darkness.
From this point on, it is an adventure story of the protagonist group.
In this long adventure story, the author uses vivid words to describe a complex and huge world. Whether it is a dwarf or a mermaid, whether it is a dragon or a monster, this world has fresh life, and even many Readers have drawn a complete map for Dark Invasion, depicting the continent.
And the character Chu Yan wants to play does not really belong to the eighteen races. He is said to have life, but in fact he has no life; he is said to have no soul, but at least he still has a mind. Because what he wants to play... is a sword spirit.
In order to fight against the forces of darkness, Zhashia came to the place known as the impasse of the mainland - the dark and secluded lake, looking for the legendary sword "Wind Bully" that was forged by the only saint in the Eastern Continent. The male protagonist is in a difficult situation at the moment. With the help of his companions, Zhashia came here alone, and finally saw "Feng Hao".
Senior Sage has been dead for many years, Dark and Youze is known as the most desperate place in the mainland, there is no way out, everyone thinks it is because there is a monster guarding the "wind bully" here, preventing others from stealing it; The senior sage left a restriction here, not allowing others to take away the "wind bullying".
But when Zhashia came to the dark and secluded swamp, she was surprised to find that there was no shadow of a single monster on this barren and black land, and there was no spell restriction. The only thing is a sword, which is inserted obliquely in the dry and cracked ground. Next to it is a luxuriant tree with towering branches. A pale and evil boy is sitting on the thick branch, as if sleeping with his eyes closed.
In the end, Zhashiya took away "Feng Duo" and made "Feng Dui" truly complete.
Because the young man played by Chu Yan is Feng Hao, who has been sitting here alone for tens of thousands of years, waiting for the return of his master. But no matter how time passed, it couldn't wait for the person it wanted to wait for, so it killed everyone who tried to uproot itself until it was uprooted by Zhashia.
In fact, Zhashia has the blood of a saint, so Feng Jue didn't kill it immediately. Finally, when it learned that its master had already died, it finally let go of its obsession, disappeared from then on, and returned to the sword.
In the first part of "Invasion of Darkness" that is currently being filmed, the sum of all Chu Yan's scenes is the process of Zhashiya going to get the sword. All he has to do is prepare to kill, do it, let go of his obsession, and die, these four things.
Originally Chu Yan thought that the role of Feng Hao would not have too many competitors, but to his surprise, during the audition, he actually saw many actors who came to audition.
Since the role of Feng Hao is an oriental character, most of the actors who auditioned were Chinese. They were also shocked when they saw Chu Yan, and many of them turned dark and were stunned.
No matter how huge a production "Invasion of Darkness" is, the total role of Feng Hao is only a few minutes, and it is a soy sauce cameo. Chu Yan is currently ranked 36th on the Brilliant Stars list, and has close to 300 million Weibo fans. Among all the audition actors present, his reputation is undoubtedly the most resounding.
Of course, there are some actors who have not flinched: even if Chu Yan is famous, how about it? But they are also first-line actors! What's more, Chu Yan's past image is not very consistent with Feng Hao, and they all have filmed similar roles and have experience. Who said they will not be able to grab Chu Yan
Chu Yan didn't notice the psychological changes of these actors. In fact, even if he really knew, he wouldn't take it to heart. Originally a good role should be obtained by those who can. If he can't get this role, it is a matter of his strength, and there is nothing to say.
Under such circumstances, Chu Yan waited for about thirty minutes before it was his turn to audition.
Before he entered the stage, Chu Yan seemed to have noticed that some actors were secretly watching him. But when he turned his head to look at the past, these people quickly stopped their sights, causing Chu Yan to shake his head helplessly, and stepped into the arena.
When he auditioned for "Blood War" two years ago, many actors also looked at Li Zhetian with this look. And now, the person being treated like this has become himself. However, there was still some fundamental gap between him and Li Zhetian. Chu Yan just thought this situation was very interesting, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
After entering the audition venue, Chu Yan quickly discovered that it was surprisingly large.
Most of the A-3 film and television planets are very simple buildings. This film and television planet is several times larger than the film and television planets after A-10. There are various western and oriental buildings built on it, all of which are ancient buildings. There are arch palaces in the west and Sendai pavilions in the east.
However, there were no buildings on the site of the audition, it was completely black and scorched earth, and one could feel the sense of desolation when walking on it.
This audition was very formal, and Chu Yan also put on a little makeup, but did not change into a costume. His skin was originally fair, but after putting on a specific makeup, his skin was even more white, coupled with the narrow and long eyeliner, the whole person has a more sinister feeling, as if he climbed up from hell The demon, the forest is cold and gloomy.
During the audition, the director Alando Skater and several other assistant directors were present, including the screenwriter and producer of the film, as well as the heroine An Shaoyang and the actor Raymond Cedroux.
When Chu Yan entered the stage, the director was talking to the leading actor. They didn't notice Chu Yan until An Shaoyang smiled and waved to Chu Yan.
When he saw Chu Yan, Lei Meng was stunned and did not speak, but Alan Duo raised his thick eyebrows, looked at An Shaoyang, and asked, "Did you really invite this handsome young man from the East?"
Chu Yan was also taken aback when he heard the words, he looked at An Shaoyang, only to see An Shaoyang chuckled and said, "Didn't you also say that his acting skills are pretty good, and his image is also very outstanding, is he completely qualified to play a bully?" After a pause, An Shaoyang said in a calm tone: "Alando, I have spent a lot of effort to invite Chu Yan, and I have gone to clean my face. Don't tell me that I shouldn't come."
Alando was immediately happy when he heard this, he laughed and said: "Ann, of course I think this handsome Dongfang guy is very good, but there were some people who auditioned very well before, if the handsome Dongfang guy is not as good as others, I can't Open the back door for you."
An Shaoyang smiled, and did not answer Alando's words, but turned to look at Chu Yan: "Xiaoyan, someone here is provoking you."
All of a sudden, the center of the contradiction was thrown to Chu Yan.
Chu Yan didn't panic, he smiled lightly, raised the corners of his lips, blinked his eyes innocently, and said, "Sister An, Director Alando seems to be talking about the handsome guy from the east, are you sure it's me? I'm a handsome guy from the East."
One sentence made the audience burst into laughter, and the atmosphere on the scene soon became lively. Originally, everyone was a little tired from watching the audition, but the arrival of Chu Yan made many people who knew him in the crew a little confused about how to behave, such as Raymond.
Chu Yan has already spread his fame to the distant United States with "Aurora", "Echo of the Cape" and "Starlight". It is said that he is the leading actor Raymond, and he also knows that Huaxia has recently produced a very good first-line artist. It is said that he has great potential. Become a first-line artist.
Obviously, Chu Yan's reputation is the greatest among all the actors who auditioned. If his acting skills are as good, then the role undoubtedly belongs to him.
With this in mind, in the entire "Darkness Invasion" crew, only An Shaoyang looked at Chu Yan calmly with his arms around his chest, as if he was an old god and didn't care. Even Alando and Raymond squinted their eyes slightly, waiting for Chu Yan's audition.
At this time, Chu Yan bowed to them, briefly said his name, then turned and walked towards the tree. He flipped over the tree very deftly, with beautiful and decisive movements, and then sat down on one of the strongest branches, then turned his head and gestured in the direction of the director team.
The miniature cameras immediately started to work, recording every scene of the audition. At the same time, Chu Yan closed his eyes, and opened them suddenly after half a second.
