Chapter 187 Vanity Fair Party Incident (4K 2-in-1)
After the awards, it was the legendary Vanity Fair Party. The name was very appropriate, it was indeed a Vanity Fair.
As a Chinese who took the stage to receive awards twice tonight, Chen Linfeng is conspicuous enough.
At the party, many celebrities came to get to know him. Some of them even did their homework and knew that he did not drink, so they came directly with a glass of fruit drink.
There are so many people with eccentricities in Hollywood that it would be nothing if they don’t drink.
Considering that people rely on their brains for food, it is natural not to drink alcohol, so everyone took the initiative to come up with an explanation for it.
Chen Linfeng met some people one after another, and then happened to meet Li An while picking up food.
"Director Li An, I haven't congratulated you today. You deserve the title of Best Director."
Li An shook his head with a complicated expression. What a harvest tonight. It's hard to say, if I didn't have such high hopes before, it wouldn't be like this.
He no longer thought about his own affairs, but brought up the other party's performance tonight,
"Two Oscars, one for director and one for screenwriter. Director Xiao Chen, you are the big winner tonight."
"I think there is no need for us to praise each other. It's weird."
“Haha, yes.”
On this occasion, almost everyone was trying their best to discuss cooperation, and Li An habitually talked about his next project.
"I am going to adapt Ms. Eileen Chang's "Lust, Caution" into a movie. Are you interested in working together?"
"Oh? What do you say?" Chen Linfeng pretended to be interested.
He felt a little bored in his heart. In his previous life, he only watched some brief plot introductions of this movie. He knew that the three views were inconsistent, so he didn't watch it at all.
In this life, I did not read the original novel because of my inner conflict.
"It depends on you. You can join as an actor, or you can help with the creation of the adapted script. How about it?"
Chen Linfeng couldn't refuse directly, "I don't know what Director Li wants to do. Adaptation? ”
Li An roughly explained his thoughts.
In fact, the story is not complicated. A group of patriotic young people want to assassinate the traitor "Mr. Yi" by using seduction.
As a result, the heroine who was sent fell in love with Mr. Yi for no apparent reason, and when she was about to assassinate him, she prompted him to escape successfully.
Finally, Mr. Yi sent people to kill all these people.
What a bullshit story.
When Chen Linfeng heard the end, he couldn't help but asked, "Why did you choose such a story?"
"Don't you think about the role this kind of women played and the price they paid in wars and revolutions? , is worth writing about.
And the confusion and struggle that women have about their own identity and emotions are very fascinating. This kind of female perspective is missing in most works today."
Chen Linfeng sneered and said bluntly, "But I don't like this story very much. Women also have their own ideals of family and country. They should not be the kind of creatures in "Lust, Caution" who can be passionate for a traitor."< br>
He has seen many heroic deeds during the Anti-Japanese War, including many heroines. Knowing these contents, listening to this story will only make him sick.
Li An was a little surprised and didn’t know why the other party reacted like this.
“Artistic expression should abandon these details and explore human nature itself. Women themselves also have desires, freedom and life. To pursue, we should not ignore these emotions."
"But the humanity and emotions of non-human creatures are not worth discussing. Otherwise, you can try to explore the humanity of the art student during World War II and explore his struggles and emotions. Let’s see if the European and American film and television circles can accept this idea.”
Chen Linfeng’s point of view is very clear. It has been like this in his previous life, and it is the same now. Be a person first, then do things, put the country first, and then the world. The order cannot be reversed. .
He is already qualified to express some of his own ideas, at least he can disagree with other people's opinions.
Li An saw that it didn't make sense and was a little angry. In this day and age, why do we still have such backward and narrow ideas?
But after all, the other person was Chen Linfeng. If it had been someone else, he would have walked away long ago. Wherever a great director is, he is not being held in high esteem.
There is no other way but to relax,
"It seems that the gap between our two concepts is quite large, and there is no way to cooperate together."
Chen Linfeng agreed with this, He also gave in a little, "I am young and energetic, Director Li will be more considerate."
The conversation seemed to have started, but the initial harmonious atmosphere between the two was completely gone. For a while, they were both silent.
Just when it was a bit embarrassing, Zhang Ziyi came over to get close to each other. These two directors are now in hot demand, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity to get closer to them first.
"Director Li, Director Xiao Chen, congratulations, you have won the Oscar."
The two had just had an argument, and were not in the mood to exchange greetings at this time, so they just nodded.
Zhang Ziyi instantly noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. She felt that she could calm down a bit to save face, and asked with a smile, "What were the two directors talking about just now? They were so serious."
Chen Linfeng calmed down and said, "We are talking about Director Li's new movie, which involves anti-Japanese themes. Thinking about some things makes people feel heavy."
"I said, on such a happy day, don't I’m thinking about these hard times.”
Zhang Ziyi’s eyes lit up, this is the new work of the newly nominated Oscar-winning director, it’s so delicious.
She asked Li An in a normal manner, "What is the specific content of Director Li's movie? Is there any role suitable for me?"
Li An's face showed no trace of the unhappiness just now, and he smiled. It roughly describes the plot and focuses on the heroine's situation.
Zhang Ziyi suddenly understood why these two people looked wrong just now.
It’s strange that the atmosphere is so good. Who is director Xiao Chen? Anyone who has seen his previous works knows that this is a typical leftist.
This film, it is indeed a bit...
Zhang Ziyi stopped mentioning the role she just wanted and started to change the subject.
Not to mention the values of this movie, the female protagonist has many nude scenes, which she cannot accept. She has long passed the stage of being desperate for her own safety.
Li An also knew that it was unlikely that Zhang Ziyi would agree, but if he gave it a try, it wouldn't cost much, and he might be able to lure a famous actress, which would be a huge profit.
Now that the goal has not been achieved, forget it.
A few people talked about other things in tacit agreement.
Before leaving, the three of them exchanged contact information with each other.
Chen Linfeng memorized many new mobile phone numbers tonight, and his own number was also spread out.
He decided to go back and change his private account. This account was regarded as another public account and was given to Xiao Chang for her to help guard.
Chen Linfeng left before the party was over. It was quite fresh when he first came, but after a long time, he felt very bored.
Vanity Fair is Vanity Fair, and that’s it. What fascinates people is not the wealth and extravagance in it, but fame, power, money and desire.
Chen Linfeng walked around Vanity Fair and felt like his whole body had been hit with sugar-coated bullets. If he was ready to eat the sugar-coated bullets, he might feel very happy, but he didn't mean that.
After walking out of here, Luo Lin kept driving his car and waiting outside.
When Chen Linfeng got in the car, he held it in for a long time and said, "Boss, congratulations."
Chen Linfeng didn't expect this boring gourd to take the initiative to speak. He was about to reply to him, when the phone rang. .
He answered and said, "Have a good evening, Sissi."
"It's still morning here," Liu Qianqian replied reflexively, and then said happily,
>
“You actually won two Oscars. It’s so amazing. They’re still praising you on TV. Listen.”
The sound from the TV came from the microphone on Chen Linfeng's side, which seemed to be talking about the significance of his award this time to the Chinese film and television industry.
"For me, this award is over as soon as I get it. There is no need to listen to other people's praises." "I know you are not surprised, but I want to hear it." came Liu Qianqian's crisp voice.
"When will you come back? I'm almost done with the promotion here, so I can go back to the set."
"It'll be about two or three days."
Luo Lin's car arrived quickly and steadily, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the hotel.
Chen Linfeng continued to chat while lying on the bed.
However, since I started preparing for the awards show early today, I was a little excited in the middle. I was already very tired and fell asleep at some point.
Liu Qianqian talked for a while, but suddenly the other person fell silent, and there was still the sound of thin breathing.
She also lay on the bed carefully, listening to the voice in her ears, her heart suddenly calmed down.
"Good night, Xiaofeng."
......
The next day, Chen Linfeng was awakened by a knock on the door.
He looked outside the window and found that it was already broad daylight.
Get out of bed and open the door. It’s Sister Mei.
Her expression was a little anxious, but when she saw Chen Linfeng, she still calmed down and asked after entering the room.
"Xiao Feng, did you have a conflict with Li An at the post-Oscar party yesterday?"
Chen Linfeng was about to wash up when he heard this and said in surprise, "Don't count, why?" So? "
No, then there is still some friction?
Sister Mei became impatient again, she dropped a stack of newspapers,
"Some American media said in reports that you had a dispute with Li An at the Vanity Fair party, and broke up unhappy afterwards, and even took photos.
Nowadays, this is the place that attracts the most attention in the country. At the same time, It is also the time when I pay the most attention to the news about you two. The news spreads very quickly, and now the domestic media have begun to report this matter."
Chen Linfeng first comforted Sister Mei, "Don't worry, let me see it first. Let’s see.”
Sure enough, the newspaper clearly captured a photo of the two people arguing last night. In the picture, Chen Linfeng and Li An didn’t look very good. Their faces looked a little serious, and they did look like they were quarreling. .
The key is reporting.
The first half of the report was just speculation, doubting whether the two people were dealing with each other, and then added an interview with Li An, which should have happened after Chen Linfeng left.
Li An's statement is that the two had some ideological differences, but later put them aside and stopped discussing them.
In fact, Li An's original words are followed by another one, saying that the two quickly resolved their misunderstanding and had a very happy conversation afterwards.
But it was obviously cut off.
The result report began to analyze based on the photos and Li An’s interview.
The two people quarreled, most likely because Chen snatched Li An's Best Adapted Screenplay award, and Li An used his status as a senior to suppress him, but Chen refused to accept it, thus causing a conflict.
Li An's statement has proved that the two people are indeed unhappy, and he did not tell the specific reason, which is a deliberate avoidance.
The truth of the matter is probably as mentioned before.
Finally, I would like to spread my thoughts and point out that the huge gap in the status of the younger generation in East Asia suppresses human nature, and it is still the case that our beautiful country is more free.
As expected of a student of journalism, he is simply the teacher of those people in China in later generations. The level of this editor is obviously much higher.
If he hadn't experienced this personally, Chen Linfeng would have thought the report was true.
He put down the newspaper and explained what happened yesterday.
"Understood, it's just a little ideological disagreement. What Li An said in the interview is true. It's just the media's speculation and distortion of the facts."
Sister Mei is still a little worried. , "The key point is that it has spread in the media now. There are many reports in the country. Your dad even called to ask."
Huh? Why didn't he fight me?
Chen Linfeng took out his mobile phone and took a look. Only then did he realize that the phone had long been out of power. He connected the charging cable, turned it on and looked at it. The last call record yesterday was more than an hour.
I fell asleep while talking on the phone. Sissi fell asleep too? What is this girl doing?
Forget it, let’s continue talking about public opinion.
"What is the prevailing attitude in China now?"
"Most official media did not express their position. They only reported about the two of you winning the award, and the focus was on you."
Having said this, Sister Mei was a little excited, "The domestic news also mentioned that you won the award, and Sister Ping was very happy."
My hometown is still very good.
Chen Linfeng nodded to show that he knew, and then asked, "How is the public opinion in the film, television, entertainment media and online?"
"The media has said everything about this, and some say that you should respect your seniors. Some people say that Li An should not use his status as a senior to suppress his juniors.
The quarrel on the Internet is fierce, and there are even more opinions. ”
"So overall, there is no one-sidedness?"
"Of course, we don't have any foundation, how can it be one-sided."
Chen Linfeng has already understood the situation and waved his hand casually ,
"That's okay. The speculation will pass after a while. If you are worried, you can contact Li An. The two of us can jointly issue a statement. It's not a big deal."
In the past, when Renri took the lead and a large number of official media criticized him, the battle was scary, but this time it is all childish.
Chen Linfeng pointed to his mobile phone and said, "I remember Li An's mobile phone number there. You can contact her and have a look."
Then he went into the bathroom and started washing up, putting the matter aside.
Sister Mei is not as big-hearted as Chen Linfeng. Even if there is no problem in public opinion, those in the circle who are just looking at what others are doing might cause some trouble.
She opened Chen Linfeng's mobile phone, preparing to write down the number and then contact him.
Actually, she had the right idea.
Some people in the domestic film and television industry are considering whether to take sides and talk.
A new Oscar-winning director, Li An can almost be regarded as the number one director in China.
The one who jumped most urgently was the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles. A certain insider named Huang called Zhou Runfa,
"Brother Fa, if Director Li An and the guy named Chen don't deal with each other, let's Why don't you stand up and challenge Director Li? This kid dares to disrespect his elders in the industry. It's totally unreasonable."
Zhou Runfa is currently filming on the set of "The Golden Armor". He recently worked with him. Zhang Weiping was unhappy because of his treatment.
Hearing what the other party said made him even more unhappy.
Zhou Runfa tried hard to suppress his emotions, "You are talking about Director Xiao Chen, right? Now that Director Li has spoken, you are going to step on others without even looking at whether you can afford to offend him."< br>
The person on the other side said disdainfully, "A kid who has just grown up will step on me. What's the big deal?"
Zhou Runfa let out a long sigh of relief and asked expressionlessly, "Ah "Sir, have you seen the mainland newspapers today?"
The actor surnamed Huang replied, "Yes, a lot of people are talking about this. Doesn't this mean that if we speak out, we can instantly attract attention." ”
How could there be such a stupid person!
