Chapter 144: The Birth of a Star
The waiting time before a movie is shown is an advertisement, which is a way for theaters to generate revenue. Same as add-ons like ice cream, drinks, popcorn outside.
Looking at an inconspicuous small business, in fact, it is no less than the money from the screening of movies.
Many theaters are always shouting that the theater is losing money, probably because they feel that the investment theater in such a big place can't sell popcorn and feel angry.
It's impossible for them to think about the difficulties of the film and television production industry.
The 50% sharing of theaters and 7% of theaters has crushed the vast majority of people who want to make movies.
The original Gu Jun is a typical example.
———————————
Soon the lights in the theater were turned off, and the feature film began to play on the screen.
The feature film began in a concert with a lot of emotion.
The actor Wu An, played by Gu Jun, held a small concert with hundreds of people.
The audience filled the front of the stage.
After singing the song, Wu An pinched a rose from the bouquet of flowers placed on the side and threw it off the stage, like beating a drum to pass flowers, and whoever passed it to that person could go on stage and sing with him.
A lot of people grabbed it, and a lot of people threw it out, after all, singing on stage is not a good experience, and finally this rose went into the hands of a young girl.
Looking at her ignorant expression, you can know that she didn't expect this phenomenon at all.
Although a little inexplicable, in the spotlight and shine and the applause of hundreds of people, she bravely walked onto the stage.
After singing a few words, she covered her face and ran off the stage, the audience burst into laughter, and the concert continued.
Wu An was unfamiliar with the girl, but remembered her name, which was Elle.
Neither of them knew that the rose was a bridge that connected them.
Wu An is a successful singer, but he has suffered from a severe ear disease since he was a child, which must be maintained by medication, and he is also an alcoholic.
In his opinion, his creative passion and talent are catalyzed by alcohol, and there is no idea or desire to quit drinking at all.
In other words, it is difficult for him to quit this hobby, which is infinitely close to alcoholism.
On the night after the concert, he went to the biggest music bar in the area, 'Fun'.
Of course, it's called 'Finding Inspiration'.
There happened to be someone singing in the bar today, and his crisp and clean voice attracted Wu An's attention.
He felt a little familiar with the man and his voice, but he couldn't remember it.
This person is actually Elle who sang with him during the day, but now she belongs to the kind of person who is uglier than no makeup.
Otherwise, Wu An wouldn't be unrecognizable for a while.
Standing beside Wu An was Ai Li's friend and colleague Yang Jue, who was very familiar with her, and took Wu An to the backstage to meet Ai Li.
The two really knew each other, and Elle said that this was her bar, and the security was good, but the bar couldn't avoid drunkards.
Normally, she doesn't sing on stage, but she only went on stage today when she was instigated, and in order not to cause trouble, she deliberately painted her makeup very brightly.
Elle, who had removed her makeup, sat at the bar with Wu An drinking and chatting and talking about music.
Sure enough, an alcoholic came to talk, Wu An was dissatisfied, and pushed the drunkard to it.
The drunkard recognized him as a star, opened his arms and walked forward, shouting in his mouth: "The big star who is out of luck has beaten people, everyone take photos and post them on Weibo, let's make headlines last time." ”
Ai Li stepped forward and gave the drunkard a punch directly, and was about to continue to attack, but Wu An hugged him from behind and left.
The punch just now caused Ellie's hand to be a little bruised, and the two of them found a supermarket and bandaged it.
A conflict makes them take some interest in each other's personalities and begin to try to understand each other.
Elle knows the pain behind the star, and Wu An also learns about Elle's excellent arranging ability.
In one night, two top singer-songwriters put together a complete song.
The next day, Wu An invited Elle to her concert when she was sending her home.
Elle refused, but Wu An didn't give up, and let her driver wait for her to change her attention.
Because of last night's incident, Elle was late for work and was sneered at by her boss, Elle dropped her bag and said, "My mother is gone."
Leave in style.
Her colleague Yang Jue saw that this was a good thing, and while discussing with Elle how to play today, she assured her boss that she would definitely persuade Elle to give him a little time.
Before the boss could react, the two went out as soon as they sang and harmonized and began to let themselves go.
Take a car to the airport where there is a small private jet that stays.
The plane is real... The model machine is only amplified by special effects technology.
As for the real shooting location, it is restored 1:1 according to the interior picture of someone else's plane.
Well, it's a lot cheaper than actually renting a plane.
Although the crew is poor, the cost of renting a one-day plane is still high, but no one has rented a one-day plane these days, not to mention the shame.
The main reason is that the deposit and security deposit are really not paid.
You think, a private jet can't be 200 million low, and if you want one-tenth of the deposit, you will have to get 20 million.
This is true: "The concubine can't do it".
The poor are hard to concave the rich, and it is unscrupulous for small-budget movies to pretend to be large-budget commercial films·······
The concert that Ai Li and Yang Jue participated in by plane was the concert of 20,000 people that was sung at the Oriental Sports Center.
Wu An invited her to the stage to sing the song "Shallow" together.
Elle, who was on such a big stage for the first time, was very excited, and she was no longer afraid of the stage.
In the time since, Elle has participated in several similar concerts with Ann Ann's band.
The relationship between the two is very close, like a pair of relationships that have a good impression of each other but are only a piece of paper.
Until one day, when Elle was sleeping at home, Wu An entered her room.
When she woke up and asked him why he was here, Wu An said that her father had opened the door for him.
Elle knew that her father had accepted Wu An, and the piece of paper between the two dissipated like this, and the relationship was naturally biochemical, and the two embraced for the first time. Kiss.
Of course, just misplaced kissing, no rolling sheets.
Ellie was curious about Wu An's hometown, so they rode a motorcycle to go, but Wu An, who had not returned for many years, did not enter.
Because it has become a 4A-level scenic spot, the ticket is eighty.
Because of this incident, Wu An had a conflict with his brother, who left the team.
As the timeline ticked, Wu An's ear problems worsened to the point where he had to wear hearing aids.
However, Elle's career as a singer was smooth sailing, attracting the favor of top international record companies, releasing albums, which were great successes, and the concerts were also sold out.
Ann and Elle's careers have changed drastically from when they first met.
On the day she participated in "Art Life", Wu An was drunk again and fell drunk in front of Lei Datou's door.
Of course, this is not reality, but a movie shooting, and Lei Datou here is not Lei Datou, he has another name, but it doesn't matter.
Lei Datou is from the magic capital, and by the way, he made a cameo role in the movie and was a friend of Wu An.
Wu An stayed at Datou's house for a day, and Ellie came to the door.
Wu An spoke out his panic, he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from Ellie, and he could no longer help her, as if he was slowly losing her.
He began to lose self-confidence.
Or rather, he was never confident, and wine was not a tool to anesthetize himself.
On this day they got married, a very small wedding, inviting only those closest to them.
Of course, it was a hidden marriage and was not announced to the public. The outside world only thinks that they are interacting at most.
After that, an emotional crisis between the two disappeared.
He has been nominated for several nominations for the "Huaxia Golden Melody Awards", the top music project in China.
Her image is all over the city and has even become a city's calling card.
It looks beautiful on the outside, but Elle also has some confusion, such as the record company's requirement to wear some dried apricot clothes to show the advantages of her figure.
Do something suggestive, they say that's what international fan is all about.
From hairstyle, hair color, personality and even asking her to make changes in appearance.
What you want to do and how to do it must be communicated with the broker and agreed before you can proceed.
Gone are the days when I was so free with Wu An.
The only thing Wu An can help Elle at this time is his experience: if you don't dig deep into your soul, people won't continue to like you.
If you don't tell the truth out there, then you're done, you have to be your most authentic self, what you say to people, they're listening now, but they won't listen forever.
You don't have to worry about what they like, you just have to tell them what you want to say, that's what they like, a real you is the most attractive······
As time passed, Elle's name became bigger and bigger, and the concerts were one after another.
Originally, she was still rubbing Wu An's concert, but then she slowly turned around.
Before the award of the "Huaxia Golden Melody Awards", Wu An, who was becoming famous, suffered a change of role from the organizer, that is, his repertoire was originally scheduled to be sung by others. He can only be an outsider.
This made him unhappy, and he was very drunk, and of course, he never quit his alcoholism.
He messed everything up at the time of the awards, he walked onto the stage in front of the audience, and then fell to the ground and threw up...
This time he did make the headlines the next day, which dealt an even bigger blow to his already modest career.
It even affected Elle.
Because of the wine, the conflict between them was once again exposed.
Wu An wanted to quit drinking, he went to a psychiatrist or even hospitalized, but medicine was useless, he could only rely on self-control.
However, seeing the psychiatrist's explanation of his personality also made him understand something.
For example, Wu An's father died when he was twelve years old, and his father was tall and respected.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to the family left by his father.
This is a blessing under the filter of time, in fact, he does not see a complete father figure.
After this day, he realized that his worship of his father was his own fantasy.
In reality, the real father figure is actually as unbearable as him, and he is a drunkard who is addicted to alcohol.
What Wu An really admires is actually his brother who was deeply hurt by him, a relative who supported and took care of him by his side, but he never paid attention to it.
Although the two brothers parted ways, they were still connected.
One day, Wu An apologized to his brother.
On the same day, Elle's agent came to the door and told her some hidden things, such as the company's attempt to use "Shallow" as a stepping stone to North America.
The effect is good, and she is preparing to hold a world tour for her, who wants to make a scandal with Wu An.
Elle wants to take Ann with her, and she wants to sing the song "Shallow" that they were in love with.
She knows that Wu An is actually vulnerable, especially at the moment when he is at his lowest point, and wants to encourage him to get out of the situation, because she insists that Wu An is the best musician.
At this time, Wu An has become a bedbug in the eyes of the media, how can the record company agree. even asked Elle to issue a statement to sever ties with Wu An.
The broker is gone. In the evening, Elle comes home and tells Wo Ann good news.
She said that because the last album sold so well, the company hoped that she would release an album in the near future, so the world tour was temporarily canceled.
Sure enough, it's 'good news'.
How sincere Ellie's smile was, how much Wu An's heart hurt.
Only then did he really realize that he had hurt one after another of his closest family members.
He didn't want to continue like this, he wanted to run away...
The next day, he didn't go when he said he was going to Elle's concert.
That night, until the concert was about to end, Elle still didn't wait for Wu An, and the phone couldn't get through, so she had to ask her assistant to go home to find him.
Eventually, she walked onto the stage, played the piano, and played the song "Shallow" they had agreed to, which was the finale.
The singing dispersed, the applause dissipated, and Elle still did not step down.
"Today I would like to introduce you to a new friend. ”
With the microphone in hand, she walked to the front of the stage, raised her left hand high, and half clenched her fist, only her ring finger and little finger were extended, clearly revealing the wedding ring made of guitar strings that didn't look like a ring.
"I'm Ellie. Wu An's wife. Today is our first wedding anniversary. I love him, always have, before, now and in the future. ”
Wu An, who had a guitar on his back, left their home behind, leaving behind two pieces of paper and began to wander the world.
One is a signed divorce agreement.
One was a note for Ellie: "One day, we will meet again." Hopefully, we will still be the best of us. ”
In the blink of an eye, three years later·····
Elle joined a program called "Good Songs of China" to train new musicians as one of the mentors.
At the game, a musician wearing a red baseball jersey, a white T-shirt underneath, a pair of denim shorts, and a bass game appeared on the scene.
Her name in the movie is Ding Jianguo, and in reality, she is Gu Linazha, a sophomore at Nortel.
She brought a song called "Meet Again", and she came for Ellie.
She also had to tell Elle where the other person was, and whether she was going or not had nothing to do with her.
