Chang'an is located in the middle of the Guanzhong Plain and is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.

Compared with cities in coastal areas, Chang'an has particularly strong Chinese characteristics. The plaque of a roadside handmade snack shop may be the inscription of a certain dynasty official. The couplet of a roadside pavilion may be the handiwork of a showman. A very inconspicuous side street, there may have been traces of the activities of historical figures.

Everywhere the relics, everywhere the history.

Of course, there are high-rise buildings here, and some basic designs are also modernized, but this does not detract from the heritage and atmosphere of Chang'an. Because this is a living ancient city.

People watch movies in the cinema hall and listen to books in the building. Watching plays in the theater and watching plays in the garden. All of them, both up-to-date and antique. blend with each other without being obtrusive.

Every day, groups of people come to Chang'an with various purposes and through various channels.

Xiao Chi came to Chang'an once when he was very young, and he was very impressed by this place, not only because of the snack street that made him linger, but also because he almost didn't tire him to death by riding a bicycle on the city wall.

He came to Chang'an this time to work.

Koike spoke eloquently to the camera: "Today is the second day of the opening of the [Zhumen Film Festival]. The weather in Chang'an is really hot, my forehead has begun to sweat, I have to wipe the sweat" Xiao Chi finished speaking, buried his face on the short-sleeved sleeve and wiped it all over, "Look, is the sweat gone all of a sudden? This is because I use this XX brand short sleeve to wipe the sweat, so I wipe it very clean! If you want to be as clean as me, just ......"

Qianqian rushed up and punched Koike.

Xiao Xia sighed, and instead of turning off the camera, she pointed the camera at Koike, who was holding her stomach.

Half a minute later.

"This video was sponsored by XX Clothing, yes, it's the one on me. Their brand recently co-designed a series of summer dresses with well-known French designers...... "Xiao Chi rubbed his belly and read the advertisement in a decent manner, and then began to talk about today's shooting, "Yesterday was the opening of the [Zhumen Film Festival], and the opening film was okay, but I was more looking forward to seeing Han Jue's film." I didn't see Han Jue when I walked the red carpet yesterday, it's a pity, otherwise with my relationship with him, I would definitely be able to get an exclusive interview and hear a lot of behind-the-scenes stories from the movie. It's a pity, but everyone in front of the video is really unlucky. ”

Koike looked at the camera with a look of pity.

"Today I bought tickets for two movies, the director is not very famous, I hope there will be surprises......"

Xiao Chi chatted to the camera, and suddenly noticed a group of foreigners in various suits and shiny leather shoes in front of him, which was very eye-catching.

"Eh, that man seems to be a little familiar?" Koike frowned and was trying to discern something, "Hmm? And the man. Where have you seen them?"

"I'll take a look, I'll see," Qianqian turned her head to see a group of foreigners, "Hey, I don't recognize them, I feel like they all look similar." ”

Among the foreigners, the first man at the head had long curly hair, wore large sunglasses, and was emaciated.

Among the Big Three, only Xiao Xia is reliable, she looked at the group of people and said, "They are the actors of Han Jue's crew." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" Koike immediately remembered that he had seen these people when the star walked the red carpet yesterday.

Opened yesterday and walked the red carpet. In a place where Chinese filmmakers are the mainstay, there is suddenly a group of foreigners in suits, except for those who have paid attention to "Time and Space Traveler", few people know Jack and them. Onlookers thought it was the Americans who had come to the red carpet again. It's just that this time it's fresher, and it's a group.

"Look at what I've found!" the actor of "Time and Space Traveler"!" Koike's eyes lit up suddenly.

Koike's lifelong enemy [Han Jue Studio] previously released the "Director's Notes" series of videos, which deeply stimulated him. Coupled with the fact that the number of fans of his lifelong enemy surpassed him, and there was even a tendency to grow bigger and bigger, Koike's enthusiasm for work has never been higher. This trip to Chang'an [Zhumen] is to turn the tide. And he also wants to make a series of films.

All the people and things related to Han Jue, Xiao Chi will not let go.

Now that I have discovered the crew, it is a real surprise. Xiao Chi beckoned to Xiao Xia, and then rushed to the side of the male protagonist, and asked, "Are you Di Jack?"

"It's me, may I ask you......" Jack followed the sound and saw Koike, thinking that this was also quite familiar. But Jack has a good memory and was pleasantly surprised: "Are you [Xiao Chi Chi Chi]?"

"Yes, it's me. Koike smiled reservedly. In fact, I am very happy, after all, most of his fans are ordinary people, although this is a foreigner, it is the first time that actor fans have met him.

Jack smiled brightly, and suddenly shook Xiao Chi's hand enthusiastically: "Hello, hello! I, like you, am a loyal fan of Director Han!"

"......" Koike's smile faded, and he suddenly didn't want to say a lot of pleasantries. He asked, "Are you going to go to the movies now?"

Jack smiled at the camera and said, "Yes, look at the work of other great filmmakers." ”

Jalens in front suddenly turned around and rushed to the camera: "We are going to reconnoiter the enemy!"

"......" Koike adjusted his position and stood on the other side of Jack, not ready to let Jalens easily enter the camera.

Koike continued, "What movies have you watched so far, and what do you think of them?"

"We watched three yesterday and two today, and we think they're all great. Especially Director Qin's ......"

Before Jack could finish speaking, Jalens jumped directly in front of the camera from outside the camera, fixed the camera with both hands, laughed wildly, and said, "Hahaha! It's all garbage! It's all ......garbage! It's all garbage! Mmmm

Jack covered Jalens in the mouth, looked around warily, and then dragged Jalens into the distance.

As Koike was messy in the sun, he heard a laugh from the side.

"Ha~"

Koike turned his head and found that it was the heroine of "Time and Space Traveler" who was laughing.

The heroine is much more beautiful than the shape and dress in the trailer, the only thing that remains the same is that her smile is very sunny and healing.

Koike took two steps forward and came to the side of the heroine: "Hello, Jennifer. ”

"Hello. "When Jennifer speaks Huaxia, she also has a foreign accent.

Xiao Chi could hear that Jennifer had not been in Huaxia for a long time, so he first greeted him: "What do you think of Chang'an?"

Jennifer smiled and said, "It's good here." I like Huaxia, I like Chang'an. ”

"Is this your first time in Chang'an?"

"Yes. ”

This is Jennifer's first time in Chang'an. All the impressions of Chang'an, she knew through textbooks and movies.

Although she arrived in the magic capital a few months ago in order to make a movie, she has been staying in a small area of the magic city [Lincoln Street], communicating with Americans, and seeing English. At this time, feeling this ancient city of Chang'an, which is full of Chinese atmosphere, Jennifer finally has a real feeling about [leaving the United States and coming to China].

"How long have you been in Huaxia?"

"As soon as I arrived in Huaxia, I joined the crew. By now...... It's been about five months. ”

"So you're all in the U.S. before?"

"Yes, but I haven't made a movie in a long time. This is the only work I have worked on in the last two years. ”

"What kind of director do you think Han Jue is?"

"He's the best!" Jennifer's mood was obviously a notch better when it came to Han Jue, "Of course, he hasn't become the best technically, but for me, he's the best!" I'm glad that I participated in Director Han's first movie, because if he makes another movie next time, there will undoubtedly be hundreds of people vying to be his heroine." And this one, I almost didn't have much effort to become a [Korean girl], lucky, lucky, haha~"

"Looks like you've taken a good opportunity. Koike said with a smile.

Jennifer shook her head and said with a serious face: "No, it's not that I seized the opportunity, it was the opportunity that caught me." ”

Jennifer hasn't been in the film and television industry for a long time, but she is very talented. Like all talented actors, she has her sights set on Huaxia.

Regarding how to log in to Huaxia, Jennifer has fantasized about many possibilities.

For example, she first won the domestic Oka Little Golden Man, and then climbed the Golden Bull, or she participated in a gorgeous co-production film, entered the Chinese public eye, and opened up the situation, or her film was screened at international film festivals, and then was favored by Chinese directors...... Jennifer never thought that she would be forced to leave the United States and go to China to seek a chance of survival.

At a dinner party that her boyfriend took her to attend, she was repeatedly sexually harassed by the industry bigwigs sitting next to her holding hands, touching her thighs, and talking about meat against her ears. Jennifer was overwhelmed and kept giving her boyfriend a look, but her boyfriend asked her to put up with it, "in order to keep her job," he said. Then she can bear with it.

But she was almost taken to a hotel room to "discuss the movie" after being drunk, and she didn't want to put up with it.

People are often confused and don't know how to be themselves. But American girls don't have to be confused, because everyone is teaching them how to be a woman.

[Girls are still more important to have a reputation], [If you can endure this kind of thing, bear with it, you are a woman, what can you do], [Girls still have to be gentle, don't be too strong]......

Jennifer persistently called the police, but the American police said that they had forgotten it, and there was nothing to lose anyway, plus the surveillance "happened to be broken", so they did not file a case.

She was aggrieved and exposed the matter on the Internet, hoping to gain public opinion support. But in less than a day, the Internet was full of slut humiliation by netizens against her, conspiracy theories about her hyping and fighting......

[I'm going to make her can't mess around!] These are the words from the big man in the industry.

And then Jennifer really couldn't get along. The originally negotiated project, the producer tactfully used various excuses to regret it, the company refused to give her resources, persuaded her to take a break, and even her boyfriend broke up with her.

Jennifer was stubborn and refused to just lie down. The company doesn't give resources to find resources on its own, and she keeps looking for opportunities to try to get back up.

But it's too hard.

Here, if you don't have a chance, even if you have all the talent, it's useless.

When she ran into walls everywhere for nearly a year, Amanda, who was in the Chinese film and television industry, suddenly called her one day and said that a role was going to recommend her for an interview and asked her if she was interested.

"Go to China to make a movie? Heh, what kind of role is that? Vase role? Or is it a role that scandalizes Americans? Amanda, although I have no way out, I am not ...... yet"

"Neither," Amanda said on the phone, "it's the heroine." ”

“…… What?" Jennifer thought she had misheard and wanted Amanda to say it again.

Amanda took a bite of a cigarette and said to herself: "This movie is not a big production, it is an independent film. The directors, screenwriters, producers, and investors are all cross-border. ”

Jennifer was then reassured.

"But the investor is American, and it's an English-language movie. The script is good, the director and screenwriter are the same person, although they are cross-border, but they don't understand anything. The producer is my friend, and I am relieved of her ability. But what I want to make clear to you is that there is a good chance that this movie will not be released. ”

"So, it's likely that the movies I make will only become collector's collections for investors?"

"Yes. But there is also a small chance that it will be released, because the director's life is stepping on one small probability after another. It's a chance to turn around, so are you coming?"

Jennifer was silent. Although her career is blocked in the industry, if she wants to be a heroine, she can completely downshift to make independent films, online dramas and online movies. It's just that those good productions were greeted, and she didn't need her, and she really couldn't get into the bad crew, and she refused to give in.

The cross-border crew in front of her belongs to the crew that Jennifer can't look down on.

But Jennifer suddenly discovers that Amanda didn't say who the photographer was.

"What about photographers?"

"Me. Amanda smiled, and the cigarette in her mouth seemed to spray Jennifer's face through her phone.

Jennifer also smiled, and she made a decision in an instant: "I'll come." ”

"Cool, then I'll wait for you. ”

The phone hung up.

[Anyway, no matter how bad the situation is, it won't be worse than what I am now.] Jennifer thought to herself: [It's a big deal to act in a movie for nothing, so you should keep it in shape.] 】

The worst didn't happen.

The more the movie is filmed, the more Jennifer is very hopeful about this movie, and more and more like she is going to that [small probability].

She didn't know how to repay Han Jue, so she could only be like Jack told her, "We must play the role seriously, so that we don't waste the opportunity, and we won't live up to Director Han", and then Jennifer and Jack became the two most serious actors in the crew. Studying the script together and discussing the performance together. They never complained when Han Jue was at his worst, and they only responded with one performance after another.

Now in the ancient city of Chang'an, Jennifer is extremely grateful for the opportunity introduced to her by her friend Amanda, and she is also extremely grateful to Han Jueken for using her and guiding her without prejudice.

Looking at Jalens in front of her, who wanted to break free and come to make a bold statement, Jennifer smiled.

Jennifer added to the camera what Jalens didn't finish: "We're going to win the big prize." ”

……

……

Looking at the back of the crew of "Time and Space Traveler" who was far away, Koike recalled the interview just now.

In addition to interviewing the male and female leads, he also interviewed several supporting characters who did not appear in the trailer.

Some people are good at talking, and some people are wooden, but when they talked about Han Jue, everyone became talkative and talked about Han Jue in their minds. Some people think Han Jue is terrifying, some people think Han Jue is cruel, some people think Han Jue is the best director, and some people think Han Jue

And when asked about their expectations for this movie, their answers are all similar -

Take the grand prize, attract the distribution company, and release it!

"You're all confident. Koike sighed.

"I'm looking forward to it more and more. Alas, it's so uncomfortable not to see it!" Xiao Xia squinted her eyes, pressing the cat-like anticipation in her heart.

Suddenly, a foreigner stopped Koike and asked for help.

"Hello, how to get to Cinema No. 7?" The foreigner held the brochure of the [Zhumen Film Festival] in his hand, and most of them couldn't understand the Chinese characters on it.

"Seven?" Koike was familiar with the number, "Time and Space Traveler?"

The other party looked very excited, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, "About Time"!

"In that direction and then in this direction, and finally in that direction...... By the way, tickets haven't started selling today, so you can buy them tomorrow. ”

"Oh, rest the mud!" said the foreigner with a grateful expression. Subsequently, although the foreigner thanked him and left, he went in the direction of Cinema No. 7. It seems that he wants to make sure that Koike is not tricking him, so as to reduce a competitor.

The three of Koike walked all the way down to the theater they wanted to go to, and met a foreigner who asked about the location of Theater No. 7 three times.

There is no doubt that they came to see Han Jue's movie.

Koike realized that there were a lot more foreign faces at the [Zhumen Film Festival].

"Originally, the premiere day of "Time and Space Traveler" was Qixi Festival, and it was already difficult to grab tickets, but now there are a lot of foreigners, and it is even more difficult to grab them. Koike sighed.

"Aren't you on good terms with Han Jue? Qianqian said.

"I'm just talking...... Koike sneered a few times, and suddenly asked, "By the way, why two? There are obviously three of us here." ”

Xiao Xia and Qianqian said in unison: "Because I don't want to spend Tanabata with you." ”
