Become Famous Another Day

 Happy Days premiered on the third day after the opening of the film festival.

For the films participating in the main competition unit, after the premiere, they will usher in the first wave of media evaluation.

Of course, in fact, many film critics and media reporters watched it at the special advance screening before the premiere. They can write their comments in advance and publish them immediately after the premiere.

Lu Yanhe did not participate in this special advance screening, but Lin Yu did.

She is now the chief film critic of "Jump Up" magazine and has also joined several film critics associations around the world.

Linyu told Lu Yanhe that this movie was very good, especially Ning Xiulian's performance. Several film critics around her said in private exchanges that Ning Xiulian would be the best actress at this year's Venice International Film Festival. A strong contender for the lead role.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe attended the premiere of "Happy Time" with high expectations.

Fu Kai and Shang Yongzhou have not arrived yet.

The only representative of the "Path of Glory" crew is Lu Yanhe.

Picca Lodge, the artistic director of the Venice International Film Festival, stood on the steps to welcome those in attendance.

Lu Yanhe was personally greeted by Bikaloqi who came down two steps.

In this case, every gesture has its meaning.

Lu Yanhe greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Piccolo."

"Welcome." Bikaloch had actually welcomed Lu Yanhe on the day of the opening ceremony. This time he was still as enthusiastic as when he saw Lu Yanhe for the first time, "I'm glad you can stay for so long this time. I hope you are here. Have fun.”

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "I'm very happy, but tickets for many movies are too hard to get. I really want to watch more movies this time."

"I believe that if you are willing to walk on the red carpet a few more times, every participating film will open its arms to you," Picalog said.

"Oh, I just want to watch a movie quietly." Lu Yanhe shrugged his shoulders and nodded to Bikaloqi with a smile, "Thank you for your hospitality, I'll go in first."

Pikachu suddenly said: "How about we take some time to have afternoon tea together?"

Lu Yanhe looked at him in surprise and surprise.

Who is the busiest person during a film festival? Definitely the artistic director of this festival. He must use his utmost energy and spirit to entertain filmmakers from all over the world from morning to night. From screenings to other events, your feet never touch the ground.

Lu Yanhe was quite surprised when such a person suddenly asked Lu Yanhe to have afternoon tea.

"Okay, no problem." Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded.

Bikaloqi said: "I will ask my assistant to contact your agent later to make an appointment."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

He guessed that Pikachu might have something to tell him?

-

There were obviously many more Asian faces at the screening of "Happy Days" than on the opening day.

Lu Yanhe found Chen Ziyan in the movie palace.

Chen Ziyan is chatting with the famous Korean director Kim Ji-yeon.

When Chen Ziyan saw Lu Yanhe, she immediately introduced him to Jin Zhiyan.

Kim Ji-yeon is almost one of the top film directors in South Korea. Among the living Korean film directors, no matter which list it is, he will definitely be in the top three.

Lu Yanhe watched his movies and found that his movie style was very similar to the style of a Korean director he knew.

Park Chan-wook.

Aesthetics of violence.

Park Chan-wook was a director whom Lu Yeon-ha liked very much before he crossed over. Although he did not read all of his works.

The theme of Kim Ji-yeon's movie also has an eternal "revenge".

The concept of "revenge" appears in almost every one of his films.

Kim Ji-yeon almost collaborated with Sang Yong-joo before. But because the film's production company was an American company, it was only willing to offer Shang Yongzhou a salary of US$800,000, which was far lower than Shang Yongzhou's market price. It would be fine if the production budget is very small, but Kim Ji-yeon is not the kind of purely artistic film director who cannot sell at the box office - he has always been regarded as an auteur-type genre film director in the film industry, and he has a high reputation and box office performance. It has always been good, and he is a director who can even make a profit at the box office.

Therefore, Shang Yongzhou later refused to cooperate with this film and was accepted by a Korean actor with a lower salary.

Lu Yanhe introduced himself to Jin Zhiyan.

Kim Ji-yeon: "I know you. I've watched your performances in "Three Mountains" and "Late Spring."

This is the benefit of having works.

His work is his calling card.

Lu Yanhe: "Thank you, I have always been your fan."

Jin Zhiyan suddenly thought of something and smiled, "When you had a conflict with Yongshan Hesan, I originally thought about contacting you. Well done."

Lu Yanhe looked at him in surprise, "Director, have you ever had conflicts with Yongshan Kasan?"

"He is simply a shame among film critics." Kim Ji-yeon said directly.

Lu Yanhe asked in surprise: "Has he also maliciously belittled you?"

Kim Ji-yeon said: "Yes, once at the Busan Film Festival, my film won the best picture, but a Japanese director's film did not win, so he wrote an article attacking me."

"This person is like a mad dog." Lu Yanhe said, "Moreover, no matter what he says, it is not said from an objective point of view. Film reviews are just tools in his hands."

Lu Yanhe did not expect that the first common topic he and Jin Zhiyan found was that they both hated Yongshan Hesan.

At this time, Yu Qin came in with Ning Xiulian, Gu Zhao and other crew members.

Their entrance means that everyone is already in and ready to watch the movie.

Before starting to watch the movie, Picalog came up and gave an introduction to the director of the movie.

From Pica Lodge's introduction, Lu Yanhe learned that this was the third time that Yu Qin's work had been shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival.

However, the previous two times were shortlisted for other units, the main competition unit, this is the first time.

The meaning behind Pikaloch's words is actually the same. Yu Qin is a director trained at their Venice International Film Festival.

This kind of solemn pre-screening introduction has a sense of ritual.

Lu Yanhe was a little more looking forward to the movie to be screened at this moment.

-

Wang Biao and Zou Dong did not stay in the movie palace.

The two of them found a small cafe to sit outside and waited until the time was almost up before picking up Lu Yanhe and the others.

"Brother Dong, do you understand these art films?" Wang Biao asked.

"Are you asking about the two movies I watched at the film museum here?" Zou Dong shook his head, "I can't even understand English, how can I understand it?"

"Then I woke up in the middle and saw that you were still looking at the big screen in high spirits." Wang Biao said, "Watching those movies is really hypnotic."

Zou Dong remembered that Wang Biao almost fell asleep less than twenty minutes after the movie started. People who keep saying that they want to be influenced by film art go directly to the dreamland to be influenced.

Zou Dong smiled and said: "Although I don't understand what the people in the movie are talking about, watching their performances can help me make some guesses. This is also good. Maybe I will understand and watch instead." If I don’t go on, I’m just guessing, so I kept concentrating on reading them all.”

"Awesome, Brother Dong." Wang Biao sighed.

Wang Biao asked again: "Brother Dong, do you think all these people who come to the film festival really like to watch these movies?"

Zou Dong: "There must be many people who are just attracted by the aura of this kind of film festival. If there are so many people in the world who like to watch it, the box office of these movies will not be so low."

"Then you tell me, why are there still so many films being made and then sent to film festivals?" Wang Biao said, "I have never thought much about this. Obviously, many award-winning films have low box office in the end. It’s high, you may even lose money, and not many people really like it.”

Zou Dong: "I don't know. For me, I prefer to watch simple and crude action movies. Don't many people think that these kinds of movies have no nutrition? But I don't want to get any nutrition from the movie. ”

Wang Biao: "But Brother Lu seems to really be able to watch those art movies, and he can see a lot of things in the movies that we can't see."

"A film that can win awards must have its artistic value, but we may not be able to understand it." Zou Dong said, "The same is true for many classics. We also have many books that are respected as masterpieces all over the world. People can’t read it. If you look at the four great classics, there are a few people who can actually finish reading the original text.”

Wang Biao: "That's right."

Zou Dong said: "I think what Yan He said is quite right."

"Ah? What did Brother Lu say?"

"Although movies are a commodity, some movies are not produced as commodities. From the beginning, the creators did not intend to make money from it."

-

"Happy Days" definitely won't sell at the box office.

After watching half of the movie, this was Lu Yanhe's most intuitive feeling.

An hour passed, and the entire movie focused on Ning Xiulian.

After her husband died, she lived alone. The movie is about her life living alone at home, showing her personal life of shopping for groceries, cooking, and doing housework. In the process, the past about her childhood, adolescence, and marriage are slowly revealed.

The tone of the movie itself is like a documentary. But the movie uses a lot of pop music to help express emotional changes.

What impressed Lu Yanhe most was that on a snowy night, the heroine played by Ning Xiulian was drinking red wine and dancing for her own entertainment. She suddenly woke up from her dream with a confused look on her face. , turned his head and looked around blankly, and that kind of confusion that was extremely separated from reality was presented on the screen in a state like a mirror image.

He suddenly thought of what Lin Yu said. Many film critics believe that Ning Xiulian is a strong contender for the best actress at this year's Venice International Film Festival.

This movie is completely a one-man show by Ning Xiulian.

As a movie, the film has almost no plot and will certainly not be liked by most viewers. However, the loneliness, memories and thinking about the past of life shown in this movie are all integrated into the daily details of the movie in an easy-to-describe way.

Indeed, this kind of movie can be made with 800,000 yuan.

However, appreciation is appreciation, and Lu Yanhe himself would not make such a movie.

Maybe there is a good script for him to act in, and he can act, but if he is asked to write and produce it by himself like "Love Letter", Lu Yanhe will not do that.

He can appreciate this kind of film now, but if he were to make it, it would be far from that level.

This kind of film can really only be made by people with a certain level of talent, otherwise it will just be an imitation of others, and the film will taste like nothing.

-

At the end of "Happy Time", Ning Xiulian finally walked out of the house where she lived alone, no longer dwelled on the past, and decided to come out of her self-isolation. She signed up for a class at the gym, and Gu Zhao played the role of her fitness instructor.

At the end of the film, there is a **** scene between two people.

In the dark room, on the bed, the camera focused on Ning Xiulian's face, through Gu Zhao's strong, sweaty shoulders, and fixed on Ning Xiulian's eyes.

Her face was crimson and sweat flowed down, mixing with the tears on her face.

The rhythm became more and more intense, and she shed more and more tears. Finally, as if some restraint had been broken, she suddenly broke down and cried.

Gu Zhao's movements stopped.

He was stunned, hugged her, and asked softly: "What's wrong? Does it hurt you?"

Ning Xiulian shook her head, hugged Gu Zhao, buried her head in Gu Zhao's arms, and cried until her shoulders shook.

At this time, the camera began to zoom out, further and further away.

The two people on the bed gradually moved away, blurring.

In the end, Gu Zhao could only be seen gently patting Ning Xiulian's back, as if coaxing a child.

Soft music played.

The movie comes to an end here.

-

Lu Yanhe stood up and applauded along with everyone else in the audience.

He felt that he might not be able to truly enter the movie situation to experience all of this. But that didn't stop him from applauding the movie after watching it.

Yu Qin, Ning Xiulian and Gu Zhao stood up and accepted everyone's applause.

They bowed three times to greet everyone.

Chen Ziyan asked Lu Yanhe in a low voice: "What do you think of this movie?"

"Very good." Lu Yanhe said, "Maybe the cinema can't sell too many box office tickets - but that's not necessarily the case. I think Teacher Ning can win an award for this movie. Her performance is so good that it turns the invisible into the tangible. And , several scenes were so good that I felt numb. If she won the award, many people would be interested in going to the cinema."

Chen Ziyan nodded and said: "I also think that this movie is actually not obscure, and there are no dull long shots. Although most of the shots have no lines and focus on Ning Xiulian, the shots are very rich in language and show All aspects of her life are not boring. Yu Qin’s style has changed a bit. She used to like to use long shots. To be honest, those long shots were too boring. "

The applause was very warm.

Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Ziyan, do you know how I felt after watching this movie?"

"Um?"

"If you ask me again now, if Yu Qin asks me to act, will I accept it?" Lu Yanhe paused, as if to confirm his thoughts, and said, "I don't think I will say that after reading the script If I decide again, I will agree directly.”

Chen Ziyan: "You."

Lu Yanhe: "I'm impulsive again."

Chen Ziyan: "However, when it comes to movies, I trust your vision more and more."

"ah?"

Chen Ziyan: "If you say you want to play Yu Qin's role, although I will murmur, I will not stop you."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "So you are actually not willing for me to accept it?"

"I can't say whether I am willing or unwilling. The shortcomings of director Yu Qin's works are also obvious, that is, they do not have box office." Chen Ziyan said, "This shortcoming is a big shortcoming for you. Now as a The greatest value of an actor is not how many awards you win, but whether your works have good reputation or commercial returns. Yu Qin's movies have never received widespread praise, let alone commercial returns. According to the standard, her play can be performed by Wen Minglan, but she cannot be performed by you. Minglan's current situation is such that she can tolerate the failure of an art film, and no one will deny her career by the failure of an art film. But you are different. You are already a kind of benchmark. If a mistake made by an ordinary actor occurs in you, the impact will be expanded ten or a hundred times."

Chen Ziyan's words made Lu Yanhe calm down a little.

-

After watching the movie, Lu Yanhe followed the crowd and walked out.

They saw Zou Dong and Wang Biao waiting for them at the exit.

The crowd around them were all viewers who had just watched "Happy Days."

Lu Yanhe heard everyone discussing this movie.

This is the atmosphere of the film festival.

It is rare to hear so many people discussing a movie after watching it.

"Hey, Lu Yanhe—" Suddenly someone called his name.

Lu Yanhe turned around in surprise and saw a very familiar person.

American "Variety" columnist film critic Tom Wynn. "Hi!" Lu Yanhe smiled in surprise.

Tom Wynn said: "Are you free? Let's have a drink together?"

Lu Yanhe glanced at Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan said: "You go ahead, I will make an appointment to meet with you later."

Lu Yanhe took Zou Dong and Tom Wynn there.

Tom Wynn said: "I've been to the special screening of 'Paths of Glory' in advance."

Lu Yanhe looked surprised.

Usually film festivals will hold a special screening for the media and well-known film critics before the premiere.

But Lu Yanhe didn’t even know that “Road to Glory” had already completed this step.

"What a pity. This movie should have been shortlisted for the main competition. In that case, you and the other male lead would be strong contenders for Best Actor this year." Tom Wynn said.

This is a very high rating.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said "thank you", and then said: "Is it really that good? I'm still a little nervous. I don't know what people will think of our movie."

Tom Wynn said: "It is a good work, there is no doubt about it. On the contrary, I was surprised that the two Chinese-language films shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival this time actually changed the style of previous Chinese-language films and focused on The exploration of human heart has always been a characteristic of European films.”

"I'm curious, what are the characteristics of Chinese-language movies in the eyes of you Americans?"

"If I tell the truth, you might not be happy."

"It doesn't matter, just say it."

"The Chinese-language movies I have seen in the past few years are all very focused on spectacle." Tom Wynn said, "There are almost no content like "Happy Days" and "Path of Glory" that explore the simplest characters' hearts. In the past two years, directors Wang Zhong and Liu Bige, who are more active in Chinese-language films in the international film industry, pay great attention to the form of the film in their films. I don’t mean that they only have form, but their expression techniques. They all use an obviously author-stylized form to unify the style of the film, including a Chinese film called "White Pearl" last year. It was poorly shot and only the actors' performances were excellent, but this film is also good. It has a strong sense of form, and it also uses bizarre and **** interpersonal relationships to create a misplaced character conflict.”

When Lu Yanhe heard what Tom Wynn said, he felt that everything he said made sense.

Indeed.

The styles of movies are ever-changing, but in fact, if the number of movie viewings increases, you will find that movies from different countries and regions also have obvious stylistic differences. Our cultural and historical background silently distinguishes our films from other films.

The themes of "Happy Days" and "Path of Glory" are indeed more focused on exploring personal heart and expression. This is actually influenced by modernist trends of thought and European and American film culture. In the past, personal inner expression was indeed not the focus of Chinese-language films.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said: "Because China's social environment is also changing, people's lifestyles and living conditions are changing. In the past, everyone lived together, but now with the development of urbanization, many young people are living in Apartments, living alone. We are bound to face such changes in life, and these changes are reflected in the creation of movies. Movies are actually a kind of cultural content, and any culture is actually a reflection of people’s lives over a period of time.”

Tom Wynn nodded thoughtfully.

"Actually, you can also go and watch a movie that was just released in China last month. When it is available to watch in the United States, I recommend you to watch it. It is a martial arts movie "Nine Yin". Martial arts movies have always been It is a type of film unique to our Chinese films, but it is set in the context of martial arts. It tells the story of an anonymous swordsman who must make a difficult choice when his personal life and death and the life and death of the country are at stake. This actually contains implications. It embodies a cultural spirit of our Chinese people. Movies are like this. They can reflect many changes in lifestyles and ways of thinking, but sometimes they also use new stories to convey and inherit an enduring cultural spirit. Change is contained in the change and immutability of the film.”

Tom Wynn nodded.

"Well, hopefully it will be shown in theaters in the United States," he said.

"It may not be able to be shown in cinemas. You give me an address. When the DVD comes out, I will send you a copy." Lu Yanhe said.

Tom Wynn smiled and nodded, "Okay."

They entered a bar.

In broad daylight, Lu Yanhe was not used to drinking alcohol all the time like Europeans and Americans.

But Tom Wynn is obviously used to it.

Lu Yanhe only ordered a cocktail with a low alcohol content, while Tom Wynn ordered a gin and tonic.

"By the way, I saw that Japanese guy also came to Venice. Have you met him?" Tom Wynn asked Lu Yanhe.

"Which Japanese?" Lu Yanhe didn't know why.

"The one who had a conflict with you." Tom Wynn frowned and thought hard, "But I can't remember his name. Japanese names are really hard to remember."

Lu Yanhe reacted, "You mean Yongshan Hesan?"

"Ah, yes, that's him!" Tom Wynn nodded, "After the special screening of "Path of Glory," he expressed his dislike for your movie to several people who were traveling with him."

Lu Yanhe: "He is a very vindictive person. I don't understand why a film critic like him can still be so active in the international film world."

Tom Wynn said immediately: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not familiar with him."

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded, "Then we can continue to be friends."

Tom Wynn said: "Have you ever considered making a movie in Hollywood?"

Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment and said: "Of course I won't refuse if there is a good script, but you also know that your Hollywood's good scripts and good roles will not be left to me, an Asian actor, especially an Asian actor who has not worked hard in Hollywood. Asian actors."

"The situation has changed in the past few years. Every year there are several influential film and television dramas starring Asians." Tom Wynn said, "Moreover, almost every blockbuster now has a main role. An Asian."

"This is to maintain political correctness." Lu Yanhe chuckled, "But those characters may not be very valuable and good characters. I don't want to waste time on a character that is not worthy of my efforts."

Tom Wynn nodded, "Lu, you are such a proud guy."

"Thank you for the compliment." Lu Yanhe didn't think this was a bad thing, "I want to protect my reputation as an actor."

Lu Yanhe chatted with Tom Wynn for almost an hour before saying goodbye.

He had a lively chat with Tom Wynn.

Some film critics are just superficial and superficial, but some film critics really love the art of film, are familiar with the masterpieces in history, and have their own opinions, which are extraordinary.

In terms of the aesthetics of movies, Lu Yanhe found that he was very similar to Tom Wynn.

This allowed him to finally find someone with whom he had a common topic and whom he could talk to.

-

Soon, the media rating of "Happy Days" came out, and it got a score of 3.1. Among the average media ratings of a film in the 2.0s, this score is not bad.

The most important thing is that Ning Xiulian's performance received unanimous praise. In Variety's award predictions for this year's Venice International Film Festival, Ning Xiulian ranked first among the candidates for Best Actress.

Lu Yanhe sent a congratulatory text message to Ning Xiulian.

Under this situation, Ning Xiulian's domestic controversy became even louder.

However, Ning Xiulian's agency has already started public relations.

They used "Ning Xiulian to do whatever she wants and enjoy life" as the main line to create an independent image of Ning Xiulian breaking through the constraints of traditional thinking and pursuing her own beautiful life. Coupled with the unanimous praise from foreign media for Ning Xiulian's performance in "Happy Days", this has further strengthened Ning Xiulian's image as a "low-key and capable person".

Most people in China don't actually know Ning Xiulian. She is not a particularly famous actress. But because of her generous hand-holding and kiss with Gu Zhao on the red carpet, as well as the blessing of "Happy Days"'s reputation at the Venice International Film Festival, Ning Xiulian's fame suddenly increased.

At the media conference, a media outlet asked Ning Xiulian if she wanted to respond to the controversy caused by her holding hands and kissing Gu Zhao in China.

Ning Xiulian said calmly: "I am a woman and he is a man. There was a spark between us, so we are together. It is a matter of course, no need to make a fuss."

Her response also went viral in China.

Many women retweeted her speech and regarded it as an idol.

Despite his initial discomfort, Lu Yanhe actually quite admired Ning Xiulian's attitude.

No matter what, take the initiative and openly admit what you have done, do not cover it up or not, let others say whatever you want.

It was at this time that Lu Yanhe suddenly received a call from Yu Qin.

"Yan He, will you stay here until the end of the film festival?" Yu Qin asked.

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, but replied: "Well, yes, I will stay here this time."

Yu Qin said: "That's great. I suddenly had an idea. Are you free now? I'll come and talk to you."

Lu Yanhe replied "free" in surprise, and then made an appointment with Yu Qin to meet in Chen Ziyan's room.

Chen Ziyan asked doubtfully: "She didn't tell you, did she want to talk to you about something?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I don't know. I didn't say anything. I just said that I suddenly had an idea."

"Maybe she wants to make a movie later and wants to find you?" Chen Ziyan curled her lips with a half-smile, "It seems like you are about to make such a decision."

Lu Yanhe said: "No way?"

He thought for a while, "Didn't you say that her output is very small? It takes many years to make one movie."

"That's because her family is dragging her down." Chen Ziyan said, "Her husband is in poor health and has an illness that keeps dragging him down, so she has to stay at home most of the time."

"Is her husband recovering from his illness?"

"She passed away." Chen Ziyan said, "So, according to her passion for making movies, her output in the future should not be low. When she first started to be a director, one movie would be released in one or two years, which was very fast. ”

Lu Yanhe waited for Yu Qin in Chen Ziyan's room.

Yu Qin came alone.

Lu Yanhe inexplicably felt that her eyes were shining when she looked at him.

She was in a state of excitement.

"Director, congratulations, the media evaluation of "Happy Time" is so good, I should be able to take home an award this year." Chen Ziyan said with a smile.

Yu Qin: "I hope it's not just an empty joy. But that's not what I'm here to say, Yan He. I want to invite you to participate in the filming of my next drama."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Although he had guessed it, Yu Qin got straight to the point and expressed her intention so quickly, which caught Lu Yanhe off guard.

Chen Ziyan immediately took over the conversation, leaving Lu Yanhe some time to react.

"Director, "Happy Days" hasn't even been released yet. Your next film is coming out so soon?"

"I was inspired by Ning Xiulian's recent turmoil in the past two days." Yu Qin said, "I want to shoot a movie with the film festival as the background."

Lu Yanhe was confused.

Chen Ziyan also hesitated.

"What kind of story is it?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Yu Qin said: "In order to revive her career, a middle-aged female star participated in the filming of a literary film and followed the film to the Venice International Film Festival. However, her large-scale role in the film The clip caused a lot of controversy, which made her famous again, but she also had to face some pressure and condemnation from her relatives and friends in China. In the process, she met another popular young actor from China. We met in a bar, and she confided in the young actor about her loneliness and pain over the years. The young actor was a fan of hers, and he didn't expect to have the opportunity to get to know her up close, and he also cared about her very much. However, the actor realized that the actress was trying. When he got close to him, he realized that there was a gap in their positioning of each other. "

When Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan listened to Yu Qin telling this story, they almost couldn't control their expressions, except for the word "stunned" written on their faces.

Yu Qin seemed not to notice their expressions and continued.

"The male actor began to avoid the actress's intimate behavior, but the actress' behavior gradually got out of control under the pressure of media praise and moral condemnation. She substituted the emotions of the character in the film for herself. As a result, because of drinking, she was killed at a film festival. During a public event, he expressed his love to the actor in public, which made the scene very bad. On the one hand, the actor felt sympathy for the actress, his idol, but on the other hand, he was troubled by her out-of-control behavior. "

Lu Yanhe had already guessed that the actor in the story Yu Qin mentioned was the role Yu Qin wanted him to play.

Yu Qin said: "After the actress's excessive behavior again and again, the actor also backed away from tolerance and became angry and angry. At a cocktail party, he angrily accused the actress of harassing him. The actress was stimulated and acted in front of everyone. With tears streaming down her face, she seemed to have become a victim. The actor was also attacked by the actress's fans. In the interview, the actress expressed her apologies to the actor and said that it was her fault. It misinterpreted his meaning. But this move made everyone sympathize with the actress more and accuse the actor of being ungraceful. At the end of the story, the actress won the Best Actress at the Venice International Film Festival and returned to China."

Lu Yanhe's face was full of disbelieving questions?

What is this?

Chen Ziyan did not communicate with Lu Yanhe at all, and immediately asked: "Director Yu, are you planning to base this actress on Ning Xiulian?"

"I'm going to ask her to act." Yu Qin said.

Chen Ziyan: "...have you talked to her? Will she come?"

In this story, the heroine is completely a negative image, a narcissistic, selfish and vain image. Chen Ziyan couldn't figure out why Yu Qin thought Ning Xiulian would be the one to star in a movie that was clearly based on her. If this story were actually filmed, the topic would definitely explode.

Yu Qin said: "Don't you think this role... is very challenging? Ning Xiulian is an actress, and she can see the meaning of this role."

"But it sounds to me like the character you want Yan He to play is actually a young man who suffered a terrible disaster. He is a complete tool and has no room for expression." Chen Ziyan said bluntly, "Although the image of the heroine is very negative , but I admit that she is very complex, very rich, and has a lot of performance space. Any male actor can play her. "

Yu Qin said: "But the only one who can shoot this movie here is Lu Yanhe."

"Can this movie be shot here?" Chen Ziyan looked at Yu Qin in confusion, "Director, do you want to shoot it here now?"

Yu Qin nodded, "This story takes place at a film festival. It's such a convenient location, so of course it has to be filmed here now."

Chen Ziyan was speechless and asked, "You haven't written the script yet, have you?"

"Writing while filming," Yu Qin said, "I have already figured out how this movie will look like, and the script can be written soon."

People in Lu Yanhe are all stupid.

There was only one thought left in his mind that had surfaced a few days ago: neither of these two women was a fuel-efficient lamp.

Now, Yu Qin played Wang Bang.

Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment and said, "Director, this role... is too tool-like. I don't want to play it."

He rarely turns down a role outright.

Yu Qin frowned, "Tool Man? Did you listen carefully to my story? He also has a lot of performance space. Don't you think that such a character is actually a type of character that has never appeared in the history of movies? A young actor who was harassed for no reason. He is not that tooly. The actress who was once your idol harassed you with broken filters. You passively resisted, then actively fought back, and then fell into the whirlpool of public opinion again. , Isn’t this kind of impermanence and weirdness what often happens in the entertainment industry?”

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.

"Many movies now like to show harassment from a male or female perspective. Why not let it return to the simplest relationship between the sexes?" Yu Qin became more and more excited as she talked, "Even in the end, if this The actor suddenly developed a desire for the actress—"

"Wait, wait." Chen Ziyan couldn't stand listening anymore, "Director, your idea really caught us off guard. Yan He came to Venice to rest this time, and we don't want to arrange other work for him. Yan He didn’t have time to make any preparations when he said he was going to film a movie on the spur of the moment.

Yu Qin: "These are secondary. Yan He, you are a good actor. I believe you can see the value of making this story into a movie."
