"Why are there such lines? This doesn't sound like what a child would say." Barbara's first reaction was when she saw this sentence.

"So I have to act mature?" Barbara thought in her mind.

There are two possibilities for a child to say this kind of line, either because his family is unfortunate, he has gone through a lot, and his mental age is greater than his physical age, or he is pretending to be an adult just to be funny.

Which one?

"You can start when you're ready," Gary said.

Since the actors' hobbies and strengths have already been screened in the preliminary seafood competition, the offline re-examination only needs to assess the degree of compatibility with the role.

"Okay, Mr. Director." Barbara still decided to make the family unhappy.

"Is life always so painful? Or is it only like this when you were a child?" Barbara's eyes were calm with doubts, and the corners of her mouth were pursed downward, feeling slightly bitter.

"It's always like this." Huang Baiyou suddenly spoke.

When Barbara heard this, the light in her eyes became dimmer.

Not bad, Huang Baiyou nodded to the producer.

"Go home and wait for notification." The producer said.

Finished?

Barbara was a little stunned. The person who came in before had auditioned for almost ten minutes. Why did she finish it in just a few minutes?

"Gentlemen, there is another line I can perform," said Barbara.

"No need, just go home and wait for notification." The producer decisively refused.

Barbara walked out of the audition room in a daze. Seeing her state, Ms. Hena didn't ask any questions. She immediately hugged Barbara and stepped forward to comfort her.

She doesn’t even remember how she left Columbia Pictures…

Turning our attention back to China, after a month of popular screenings, "Farewell My Concubine" has accumulated a box office of 1.91 billion, becoming the fifth highest-grossing film in China in 2028.

The film has a cumulative box office of US$110 million in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and other Asian regions in one month (all countries in Asia), especially Japan and South Korea.

To be more specific, "Farewell My Concubine" was the annual runner-up for live-action movies in Neon, and created a high box office of 8.13 million moviegoers in South Korea.

Even if the film production cost 200 million yuan, Daydream Pictures still made a lot of money!

Not counting the revenue from copyright sales in Europe and the United States...

The Douban score is 9.3, with an upward trend, and it has strongly squeezed into the top 250.

"Farewell My Concubine" is the ceiling for Chinese-language films. The clamor is getting louder and louder.

Therefore, a question appeared on Zhihu, "If you don't understand, just ask, what is so good about "Farewell My Concubine"?"

Dai Jinxiu, who went to Italy to watch movies, is waiting for the movie to be released in China, and has already watched it twice, so she is very qualified to answer this question.

Dai Jinxiu:

[The main characters in the movie are Cheng Dieyi, Juxian and Duan Xiaolou.

The film takes the emotions of three people as the main line, from 1924 to 1977, 53 years spanning the Beiyang period, the Anti-Japanese War period, the Japanese War period, to the founding of the Republic, and the WG.

The structure of the story is fair and complex. With every dramatic event, the relationship between the three characters will experience a dramatic turn.

In Huang Baiyou's interpretation of the play, directors Yu Mo and Huang Baiyou created another main line - the dream life!

Cheng Dieyi can't live without going crazy, he can't escape Yu Ji, and the play "Farewell My Concubine" is the metronome of the film, constantly appearing in different passages of the film.

Every time the play "Farewell My Concubine" is performed, a historical moment will be encountered, and the play itself represents unchanging historical beliefs.

Wherever there is a voice in the plot of the movie, there must be a corresponding one.

The history is detailed and the characters are epic.

Cheng Dieyi's gender misidentification is described in the film as a process of historical deprivation and historical rewriting. The most shocking thing is that the violence of history turns into a fulfilling force at this moment.

The outstanding performance of Huang Baiyou made people ignore the brilliance of the script and movie scenes. The Venice Film Festival will not award the Golden Lion Award to a good movie just because of one person's brilliant performance, because movies are the art of a group and the director. Expression.

In other words, even if Huang Baiyou's acting skills are not that good (I mean ordinary Venice Best Actor-level performances), "Farewell My Concubine" is still a work that has left a name in the world of cinema! ]

Although the film review was not simply written, with Dai Jinxiu writing a more detailed column, it also gave a general overview of the film's merits.

"Huang Baiyou's acting skills are almost equal to Venice Best Actor level (can't laugh or cry)."

"My ranking of acting skills: third-rate actor, second-rate actor, first-rate actor, best actor, world-class best actor, Huang Baiyou."

"Hahahaha, xxx's acting skills are the best in the world, and Huang Baiyou is the best, right?"

"A bitch is ruthless, and an actor is meaningless. There is a saying in ancient times. After watching the movie, I don't really believe these two sentences."

As for the answer, netizens’ focus was off-center from the beginning.

Later, a netizen named "Orange-skinned Cat Don't Love" asked, "Well, Mr. Dai, Bai Di's acting skills are not that bad. Farewell My Concubine are all existences that have left their mark in film history. Now Bai Di's acting skills are not bad, that is, Three Wheels Full." What’s the status of the tickets and what grade is the movie?”

Dai Jinxiu responded to this message, "Being able to enter the top 100 classics in world film history, which is one of the 100 most beautiful films made by mankind since the beginning of the movie. In addition, this evaluation is not my flattery, the most authoritative film magazine in the UK "Sight and Sound" is also evaluated in this way."

The reason why I add this sentence is because Dai Jinxiu often hangs out on the Internet and is too familiar with some words.

The movie is from China, and Dai Jinxiu is from China. If I don’t add this, some people will definitely say that I am bragging.

Sure enough, with the supplement, many netizens who were not confident in their culture suddenly shut down. The gold content of this movie is so incredible.

Dai Jinxiu looked at Yu Mo's Baidu Encyclopedia profile and murmured to himself, "It can be said that it took a lifetime of talent to shoot "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea", and it took two lifetimes to shoot "Farewell My Concubine" , even if Yu Mo is unable to recover in the future, or will be unable to recover in the next life, it is normal, I will not be surprised at all."

What she said was basically saying that Yu Mo could live on the merits of Farewell My Concubine for two lifetimes.

But Yu Mo didn't want to lie down, so he invited Huang Baiyou to cooperate for the third time.

"Thirteen, I don't have big ambitions, but our cooperation can definitely create a myth!" Yu Mo said when he handed the script to Huang Baiyou.

[Whether to use 40,000 popularity points to start the reward mission for Mei Lanfang's character in "Mei Lanfang". ]

"..." Huang Baiyou almost thought he had made a mistake, forty thousand?

This is too overwhelming.

Why did it go from a character with a popularity value of 160,000 to only 40,000, not even a fraction of that.

Huang Baiyou calmly read the script——

The early stage was very exciting, with the showdown between Mei Lanfang and Shi Sanyan, but once this chapter was over, the plot became stiff, or there was a big problem with the rhythm.

Especially for the protagonist, Mei Lanfang's artistic creation is far inferior to Cheng Dieyi's.

Why do you think Cheng Dieyi has high artistic achievements? Because it was Fourth Master Yuan, Duan Xiaolou, and Cheng Dieyi himself presented it.

Rather than being able to express it with just one or two words of praise, to put it more simply, the charm of Mei Lanfang's character in this movie has not been established.

"Director Yu, I think this script needs to be revised. Compared with "Farewell My Concubine", there is still some gap." Huang Baiyou thought for a moment and decided to speak out.

"Yeah?"

Yu Mo, who was full of confidence, subconsciously wanted to refute, but he swallowed it back before he said it.

He asked, "What exactly is the problem?"

"The later stages of Farewell My Concubine, the more tragic the fate of the three people becomes, which attracts people to read further, but "Mei Lanfang" becomes a bit boring at the end." Huang Baiyou expressed his true reaction after reading the script.

Is there such a big disadvantage? Yu Mo felt as if cold water had been thrown on his head.

"...Then I'll change it again." Yu Mo said hesitantly, taking back the script from Huang Baiyou.

"Director Yu can actually consider other themes, change his mood and look at it again." Huang Baiyou suggested.

"Okay, I will do it well." Yu Mo left.

In the next week, Huang Baiyou didn't hear any news about Mo, and he didn't meet Director Yu at the company.

Huang Baiyou is also going to join the cast of "This Killer Isn't Too Cold".

It was his first time to play a role that was basically action and had no lines, so he was a little excited.

After all, he designed many movies...
