There Is Morning Light Beyond the Lens

Lu Xingchen is perfect. He started out as a child actor and became famous at a young age. In front of the camera, he is always precise, decent and impeccable. Only he himself knows that under the perfect performance is a heart that is almost hungry for "reality". He observes all kinds of things in the world, just to play every role, but it becomes increasingly unclear what "Lu Xingchen" should look like. Shen Mingxi is free. Although she came from a privileged background and was extremely knowledgeable, she chose a path of "not pursuing a serious career": with her camera and curiosity, she stopped, recorded, and lived in every corner of the world. She collects fireworks in the world and firmly believes that the most touching stories will always happen outside the spotlight. Their worlds were not supposed to intersect. Until Lu Xingchen stepped into a reality show called "City Diving" as a guest. In the noisy market of Yunnan, when he was at a loss for a task, Shen Mingxi was swept in like a breeze - she talked to the vendors familiarly, selected the ingredients accurately, and left a message before leaving: "Taste memory is the most honest." At that moment, Lu Xingchen's long-quiet world seemed as if a stone had been thrown into it. After that, he traveled to various cities to record programs, and she always happened to pass by. In the Douhua shop in Chengdu in the early morning, she left behind a warm breakfast and the words "Liangqing"; In the drizzle of tea mountains in Hangzhou, her words of advice made him enlightened; On the night of the typhoon in Xiamen, she knocked on his door with porridge and told him: "Be real, there is no shame in it." She was like a ghost wandering outside his tight world, bringing him a reassuring atmosphere every time she appeared. What made Lu Xingchen's heart palpitate even more was that the mysterious netizen with whom he talked about "city sounds" and "the nature of performance" on an anonymous forum, and whose souls were highly compatible, gradually overlapped with her in reality. It turns out that she not only passed by his lens, but also penetrated deeply into his spiritual world. Three months, seven cities. From an idol who needed to act perfect, he gradually learned to show fatigue, confusion and occasional childishness in front of her. And she, from purely recording and observing, developed a care that she could no longer move away from. The closing night of the program, the old pier on the Bund in Shanghai. After Lu Xingchen finished his final monologue, under everyone's gaze, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the figure who had been standing quietly behind the monitor, accompanying him as he had at every stop. The camera is firmly locked on him and her where his eyes are. "Ming Xi," his voice came through the microphone, clear and firm, "for the past three months, you have been standing outside my camera." "Now, I no longer want to play this drama of my life alone." "Are you willing to stay in my camera from now on?" It started with a casual gaze outside the camera and ended with a grand invitation in front of the camera. When the sincerity of a top actor meets the response of a human observer—— The most romantic story is this. Concept: core theme: truth is higher than performance, freedom comes from the heart. It advocates the courage to pursue and protect the true self and emotions in a society full of role-playing. · Views on love: sapiosexuality and symbiotic partners. Love is equal attraction, resonance of the same frequency in the spiritual world, and mutual growth with mutual support, rather than consumption and dependence. · Growth theme: Reconciling with oneself and opening up to the world. The male protagonist learns to take off his disguise and accept his imperfect self; the female protagonist learns to stop for one person and establish a deep connection after roaming the world.
