Chapter 803 Those Europeans just like this kind of tangled love story

The story of the script "Glass Love" is not complicated. After reading the script briefly, Wu Yuan almost understood it. In fact, the story of this script is adapted from Zhang Guorong's emotional experience.

In the story, the male protagonist fell in love with an 18-year-old girl at the age of 22. The two supported and helped each other and experienced many setbacks and difficulties together.

The male protagonist not only gave the girl a lot of help in her career, but also cared for her in every possible way in life.

They often attended various parties and activities together, and spent many unforgettable times together.

But just when the male protagonist thought that the relationship between the two should enter a new stage, he secretly prepared a proposal ceremony, but was rejected by the girl when he proposed.

The girl thought that she was only in her early 20s and it was time to fight for her career. She should not enter into marriage early. After all, it is always difficult for women to balance family and career.

"I'm sorry, I'm very grateful to you, but I can't accept your proposal."

The male protagonist didn't expect to be rejected. He always thought that this girl was his life partner.

"I know you love your career, and I support you. But our love is not in conflict, we can work together and grow together."

The male protagonist's words are full of sincerity and enthusiasm, "I believe our future will be better."

However, the girl still insisted on her own ideas. She felt that the male protagonist was too idealistic, and she needed more time to think and make choices.

The male protagonist could not convince the girl, and finally chose to let go helplessly. The two chose to separate and calm down for a while.

"But I will wait for you until you are willing to spend this life with me."

Despite the breakup, their feelings for each other are still deep.

However, time passed like flowing water, and the lives of the two people have changed dramatically. It is not so easy to reunite.

The girl's career development was not smooth, and she even encountered a career trough. The male protagonist who learned the news tried his best to help her overcome the difficulties, help her contact customers, and find friends for help. In the end, the girl did overcome this difficulty, and her career was thriving and entered a stable period.

She also felt that she could really enter the next stage of her life at this time, and believed that she could balance her career and family.

However, during the years she missed the hero's life, the hero met another "soulmate", and this even made him confused and hesitant for a long time.

And he and the girl are still good friends. Although their love has been missed, life is not only made up of love. Apart from love, their friendship is equally precious.

At the end of the script, he and his "soulmate" walked hand in hand on the street in the sunset, facing the strange and surprised eyes around him, just smiling at his partner.

Well, as one of Zhang Guorong's friends who knows him well, Wu Yuan naturally saw at a glance that the script was adapted from his own emotional experience, so he asked.

He didn't really not know, but just wanted to get a positive answer from Zhang Guorong to see his determination.

After all, it takes courage to move one's own emotional experience, and "taboo love", to the big screen.

Not to mention that this kind of movie is destined not to be reviewed in China. Even if it can win an award, it is estimated that it will not be reported on a large scale in China.

Just like that movie "A Touch of Sin".

But Wu Yuan still thinks the script itself is pretty good.

He pointed to the script that had been put back on the table, "Those Europeans like this kind of love story that challenges the secular world."

"Especially when it involves the feelings and life transformation of this kind of sexual minority group, it is more favored by the European and American film industry."

It should be said that the LGBT trend is indeed getting stronger and stronger in Europe and the United States.

Slogans such as gender cannot be defined and love is not gender-specific have long been shouted loudly in Europe and the United States.

Wu Yuan is very clear that in the next three to five years, this trend of the LGBT movement will also blow into the film industry.

Apart from other things, Hollywood has already made a lot of love movies of this theme. "Moonlight Boy", the winner of the Best Picture Award at the 89th Academy Awards in 2017, is a story about an LGBT boy who gradually discovers his sexual orientation from childhood to youth.

Even in September next year, the film will be selected as one of the "100 Best Films of the 21st Century" by the British newspaper The Guardian, ranking 8th.

The 2018 Oscar-winning film "The Shape of Water" is even more outrageous. It tells the bizarre love story between Alyssa, a mute girl who works at the bottom of the laboratory, and a mermaid used for experiments.

Good guy, at least in 2017, it was still about love between people, and in 2018 it was directly about cross-racial love!

From this aspect, we can understand how powerful the LGBT movement is in Europe and the United States. Even the film industry has to give more "different treatment" to movies in this regard!

Of course, the movie story itself must be good enough. If the script is written in this direction just for LGBT, it will definitely not impress the judges.

The fact that the awards are more inclined to LGBT themes does not mean that the award standards will be lowered. It is just to find the best movies in this theme. At least the three major European films are definitely like this.

But Wu Yuan is still optimistic about Zhang Guorong's "Glass Love".

This script is adapted from his real experience. From this point of view, at least the story logic and the emotions contained in it are definitely not bad. After all, art comes from reality and is higher than reality!

Speaking of which, the lyrics of "Glass Love" are written by Lin Xi, and Lin Xi is also like Zhang Guorong in terms of emotions. Even the lyrics of this song feel that every word and sentence is very compatible with this script. No wonder he chose such a movie with the same name.

"Leslie, if you want to shoot, just shoot it." Wu Yuan encouraged with a smile: "The script is already great, and I don't need to give any more suggestions."

"Choose actors and set up a crew now, and try to start shooting after the Spring Festival in February next year."

"If you move faster, you can still catch up with the Venice International Film Festival next year."

"Venice also favors this type of movie."

After all, "Brokeback Mountain", "Lust, Caution" and "The Shape of Water" have all won the Golden Lion Award in Venice!

Facing Wu Yuan's encouraging eyes, Zhang Guorong straightened his back and said, "It's decided then. Thank you, Director Wu!" (End of this chapter)
