"Happy Days" premiered on the third day after the festival opened.
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 "Road to Glory" crew is Lu Yanhe.
Venice International Film Festival Artistic Director Picca Lodge stood on the steps to welcome the attendees.
Lu Yanhe was personally greeted by Bikaloqi who came down two steps.
On this occasion, every gesture has its meaning.
Lu Yanhe greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Bikaloqi."
"Welcome." In fact, Bikaloqi had already welcomed Lu Yanhe across the river on the day of the opening ceremony, and this time he was still like the first He was equally enthusiastic when meeting Lu Yanhe for the first time, "I'm glad you can stay for so long this time. I hope you enjoy your stay here."
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "I am very happy, but it is too difficult to get tickets for many movies. I really want to watch a few more movies this time."
Bikaloqi said: "I believe if you are willing If you go to the red carpet more often, you will be welcomed by every participating film."
"Oh, me. I just want to watch a movie quietly." Lu Yanhe shrugged and nodded to Bikaloqi with a smile. "Thank you for your hospitality. I'll go in first."
Bikaloqi 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 that 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?
-
At the screening of "Happy Days", there were obviously many more Asian faces 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 has watched his movies and found that his movie style is very similar to the style of a Korean director he knows.
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" is present in almost every one of his movies.
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, box office The results have always been good, and he is a director who can even make profits at the box office.
So, 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 have watched your performances in "Three Mountains" and "Late Spring"."
This is the benefit of having a work.
The work is his business 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?"
Jin Jiyeon said: "Yes, once at the Busan Film Festival, my film won the best When a Japanese director didn’t get the film, he wrote an article attacking me.”
"This person is like a mad dog." Lu Yanhe said, "Furthermore, 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 he and Jin Jiyeon The first common topic they found was that they both hated Nagayama Kazo.
At this time, Yu Qin came in with Ning Xiulian, Gu Zhao and other crew members.
Their entry means that everyone has come in and is 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.
At this moment, Lu Yanhe was a little more looking forward to the movie to be screened.
-
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, can you understand these art films?" Wang Biao asked.
"You asked about the two movies I went to watch at the film museum here before?" 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 was almost in the movie I fell asleep within twenty minutes of starting. 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, but watching their performances, I can make some guesses. This is also good, maybe I understood but couldn't stand it anymore. This kind of blind guessing made me concentrate on reading them. "
"Brother Dong," Wang Biao said with emotion.
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 who are 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 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 movies do not have high box office in the end, and they may even lose money, and not many people really like to watch them. "
Zou Dong: "I don't know. For me, I prefer watching simple and crude action movies. Not many people Do you think this kind of movie is not nutritious? But I don’t want to get any nutrition from the movie.”
Wang Biao: “But Brother Lu seems to be able to watch those art movies. , and he can see a lot of things in the movie that we can’t see.”
“ Films that can win awards must have their artistic value, but we may not be able to understand them," Zou Dong said, "The same is true for many classics. Books that are respected as masterpieces all over the world are the same among many of us. If you can’t read it, look at the four major classics. How many people can actually read the original text?”
Wang Biao: "That's right."
Zou Dong said: "I think what Yan He said is right."
"Ah? What did Brother Xiao 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 alone.
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, this movie 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 shot 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 be just a copycat, and the film will taste the same.
-
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 sex 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 was 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, and buried her head in In Gu Zhao's arms, he cried so much that his shoulders shook.
The camera began to zoom out at this time, getting further and further away.
The two people on the bed gradually moved away and blurred.
In the end, Gu Zhao could only be seen gently patting Ning Xiulian's back, as if coaxing a child.
Soft music sounded.
This is where the movie comes to an end.
-
Lu Yanhe stood up and applauded together with the rest of 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 much box office—— But it's not necessarily true. I think Teacher Ning can win an award for this movie. Her performance is so good that it makes the invisible visible. Moreover, several scenes are so good that it makes my head tingle. If she wins the award, she should. There must be many people 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 at the scene was very warm.
Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Ziyan, do you know how I felt after watching this movie?"
"Huh?"
"If you ask again now I, if Yu Qin asks me to act, will I take it?" Lu Yanhe paused, as if to confirm his thoughts, and said: "I don't think I will make a decision after reading the script. Just agree.”
Chen Ziyan: "You."
Lu Yanhe: "I am impulsive again."
Chen Ziyan: "However, when it comes to movies, I trust your vision more and more."
"Huh?"
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 actually you are 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 have no box office." Chen Ziyan Say, "This shortcoming is harmful to you. This is a big shortcoming. Your greatest value as an actor now is not how many awards you have won, but that your works have good reputation and commercial returns. Yu Qin's movies have never been widely recognized. rave reviews, not to mention Commercial returns. If you really follow my standards, her play can be played by Wen Minglan, but she can't be played by you. Minglan's current situation is such that no one can tolerate the failure of an art film. Failure to deny her career but you. But it’s different. You are already a kind of benchmark. If a mistake made by an ordinary actor happens to you, the impact will be expanded ten times or a hundred times.”
Chen Ziyan’s words made Lu Yanhe. Calm down a little.
-
After watching the movie, Lu Yanhe walked out with the crowd.
They saw Zou Dong and Wang Biao waiting for them at the exit.
The crowd around us are all viewers who have 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.
Tom Wynn, a columnist and film critic for Variety Show in the United States. "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 someone later."
Lu Yanhe took Zou Dong and Tom Wynn there.
Tom Wynn said: "I have already watched the special screening of "Path of Glory" in advance."
Lu Yanhe showed surprise.
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 completed this step.
"What a pity. This movie should have been shortlisted for the main competition. In this case, you and the other male lead will 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 this 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 am very curious. , what are the characteristics of Chinese movies in the eyes of you Americans? "
"If I tell the truth, you may not be happy"
"It doesn't matter, just tell me."
“The Chinese-language movies I have seen in the past few years all pay great attention to ostentation.” Tom Wynn said, “It’s almost impossible to watch them. There is no content like "Happy Days" and "Path of Glory" that explore the simplest characters' souls. In the past two years, your Chinese-language films have been more active in the international film industry, such as directors Wang Zhong and Liu Bige. All their films pay great attention to the form of the film. I’m not saying that they only have form, but that their expression techniques all use a certain There is also a Chinese-language film called "White Pearl" last year that is obviously author-stylized to unify the style of the film. It was poorly shot and only the actors' performances were good, but this film also had a strong sense of form. It also uses bizarre and bloody 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 are changing as well as their living conditions. In the past, everyone lived together, but now with the development of urbanization, many people Young people are living in apartments and 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 go and watch it. It is a martial arts movie "Nine Nine". "Yin". Martial arts films have always been a unique genre of Chinese films, but in the context of martial arts, they tell the story of an anonymous swordsman's personal life and death and the survival of the country. When life is at stake, a difficult choice must be made. This actually contains a cultural spirit of our Chinese people. Movies can reflect many changes in lifestyles and ways of thinking, but sometimes they also use new ones. The story conveys and inherits a long-lasting cultural spirit. Both change and change are contained in the film.”
Tom Wynn nodded.
"Well, I hope it will be shown in theaters in the United States." He said.
"It may not 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 Kasan?"
"Ah, yes, that's him!" Tom Wynn nodded, "After the special screening of "Path of Glory", he expressed his appreciation for your movie with several people in the same industry. "
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 immediately said: "Don't Misunderstanding, 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 will not refuse if there is a good script, but as you know, you Hollywood people Good scripts and good roles will not be reserved for an Asian actor like me, especially an Asian actor who has never worked hard in Hollywood.”
"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 roles are not necessarily valuable and good roles. I don't want to be in a different role. It's a waste of time on a role that is worth my efforts."
Tom Wynn nodded, "Lu, you are really a proud guy."
"Thank you for the compliment." Lu Yanhe didn't think so. This is 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 imports, but some film critics really love the art of film, are familiar with the masterpieces in history, and really have their own opinions, which are extraordinary.
In terms of aesthetics of movies, Lu Yanhe found that he had great similarities with Tom Wynn.
This allowed him to finally find someone with whom he had a common topic and whom he could talk happily about.
-
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 has 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 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 what 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 the country actually don’t 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 favorable reputation of "Happy Days" at the Venice International Film Festival, Ning Xiulian's fame suddenly increased.
At the media conference, one of the media 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 very calmly: "I am a woman and he is a man. There were sparks between us, so we are together. It is a matter of course, no need to make a fuss."
Her response also became popular in China.
Many women retweeted her speech and regarded it as an idol.
Putting aside 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.
At this moment, 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 came to talk to you."
Lu Yanhe replied "I'm 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, didn't say anything, just said something happened suddenly Got an idea.”
"Maybe she wants to make a film later and wants to find you?" Chen Ziyan curled her lips with a half-smile, "It seems you are about to make such a decision."
Lu Yanhe said: "No way?"
He thought for a while, "Didn't it mean that her output is very small? It took many years to film a movie. "
"That was because her family was holding her back," Chen Ziyan said. "Her husband was in poor health and had an illness, so she had to work most of the time. Leave it at home.”
“Is her husband’s illness better?”
"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 I'm not here to say that, 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 his 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, so your next film is coming out so soon?"
"I got inspiration from 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 at a loss.
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. Meet at the bar , she confided her loneliness and pain over the years to the young actor. The young actor was a fan of hers, and he did not 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 to get close to him. Only then did he realize 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 and were just short of being stunned. The words are written on his face.
Yu Qin seemed not to see 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 , in a public event at a film festival, publicly expressed to the actor Bai, made the scene very bad. On the one hand, the actor sympathized with the actress, his idol, but on the other hand, he was troubled by her out-of-control behavior."
Lu Yanhe had already guessed, Yu. The actor in the story that Qin mentioned was the role that 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. The actor burst into tears, as if he had become a victim. The actor was also in trouble. In the interview, the actor expressed his apology to the actor and said that he had misinterpreted his meaning. However, this move made everyone sympathize with the actress even more and accused the actor of being ungraceful. At the end of the story, the actress. Winning the Best Actress at the Venice International Film Festival, she returned to China with great success.”
Lu Yanhe’s face was full of incredible questions?
What is this?
Chen Ziyan did not communicate with Lu Yanhe at all, and immediately asked: "Director Yu, are you planning to use Ning Xiulian as the prototype of this actress?"
"I am going to find her. Come and play." 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 this movie - it was a movie that was obviously 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."
< br>"But it sounds to me like the character you want Yan He to play is actually a young man who suffered a terrible disaster and is a complete tool. "People have no room for expression." Chen Ziyan said bluntly, "Although the image of the heroine is very negative, I admit that she is very complex and rich, and has a lot of room for performance. Any actor can play it. ”
Yu Qin said: “But the only one who can make 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 happened at the film festival , such a convenient location, of course I have to shoot 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 what this movie will look like. , the script can be written quickly.”
People in Lu Yanhe are 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 beats 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 really rarely refuses a role directly.
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 has never appeared in the history of movies? A young man who is harassed for no reason? Actor. He is not such a tool. 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. This kind of abnormality is bizarre. Is this something that often happens in the entertainment industry? ”
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.
“Nowadays, many movies 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 male actor is allowed to act The actor suddenly developed a desire for the actress——"
"Wait, wait." Chen Ziyan couldn't stand it anymore, "Director, your idea really caught us off guard this time. I came to Venice to rest. We don’t want to arrange other work for him. Yan He doesn’t have time to make any preparations for this kind of temporary filming.”
Yu Qin: “These are secondary, Yan He. You are a good actor, I believe you can see this The value of turning the story into a movie."
