On Sunday, March 26, 2006, a small test screening of "Love" was held in Scotland.

As director David MacDonald's hometown, audiences in the capital city of Edinburgh are his most loyal fans.

The test screening venue was chosen in the lecture hall of the University of Edinburgh, and all the film's creators attended.

This 'whole' is actually four people.

Director, editor, male and female lead.

Considering Scottish culture, Hawke wore a skirt for the first time in his life – a men's Scottish tartan apron.

Regardless of the color and material, it looks like a chivalrous robe minus half in martial arts.

It's still cold, and it's comfortable to wear a blue-and-black cashmere scarf and felt hat indoors.

Unlike Hawke's local attire, Jocelyn was dressed up and stunningly dressed in a pure white gown.

The accessory on her necklace is a Scottish bagpipe, which complements the location of the test screening.

"Is it cold?" Hawke looked up and down at Jocelyn, whom he hadn't seen in nearly two months, although the temperature in the indoor auditorium was not high.

Jocelyn shook her head and said, "Get used to it, don't worry. ”

She looked at Hawke as well, and then couldn't suppress a smile.

"I've never seen you dressed like this, and it feels strange. ”

Jocelyn didn't know what Hawke thought, but he thought he was pretty handsome anyway - the feeling of being able to wear eight thousand in two thousand dollars was already very encouraging.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you on the red carpet and at the cocktail party in a suit. Jocelyn said in a good mood, "Don't be compared to other actors." ”

Hawke said he was still confident in his image.

Especially in this world where the status of Chinese culture has improved, he has his own aesthetic bonus.

"By the way, do you have a partner? I thought about it and didn't find the right person, and I wasted that spot. Jocelyn asked.

"An actor from our company was invited. Hawke casually explained, "She's the biggest star in our company, and she's helped me with it before." ”

"She? ”

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Jocelyn didn't look away, "The movie is about to play, let's concentrate on watching it together." ”

The rhythm of the girl's end of the chat was a little fast, but what she said was true, the test screening started immediately, and Hawke put it aside for the time being.

After all, this is his screen debut, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerates, and he can't be nervous.

As the movie plays, familiar scenes flash in front of his eyes, but they give Hawke a strange and strange feeling.

For example, when I met the girl for the first time on the train, the slightly nervous expression was really played by myself?

And that long paragraph of flirtatious words now sounds a little ashamed.

When the movie shows the part where Hawke invites Jocelyn off the train to London, the audience laughs for the first time.

I saw the actor on the screen say: "Imagine ten or twenty years later, looking back on all the men you have met in your life, will you regret that if you were bold that day and got off with the handsome guy on that train and took a trip without any scruples, would your boring life be any different." ”

[Haha!]

[This kid is so thick-skinned!]

Hawke, who was sitting in the front row, could hear the good-natured laughter of the students in the back.

It made him very satisfied.

The plot continues, Director David selects all the flirtatious routines that young people can think of in this era, and uses editing to show the purest ambiguity in front of everyone.

Hawke remembers that after getting off the train station, there would be a scene where he asked for directions with the Liverpudlians, but it seemed to have been deleted.

The hero and heroine wandered around London for a day.

From Hyde Park to Buckingham Palace, from Baker Street to Big Ben, from the Wax Museum to the London Eye.

During this period, there will also be friction between the two people, and they will argue due to different hobbies.

Two people who have been wandering for a day snuggle up to each other on the hillside of the Greenwich Observatory with a bottle of champagne.

And Hawke also sang the song "City Star" to Joceline at this time.

“City of stars， are you shining just for me?“

As if it was taken yesterday, the two characters on the screen coincide with the scene of two people snuggling in London half a year ago.

Hawke couldn't help but stretch out his right hand, trying to grab Joceline's left hand next to him.

It turned out to be a no-brainer.

The other party clasped his hands around his chest, not giving Hawke a chance at all.

Is it cold in the auditorium?

Hawke hesitated whether he should take off his coat and put it on Joceline.

But he didn't have that opportunity.

The film soon enters the final climax, with the male and female protagonists kissing goodbye.

It directly caused a commotion among the students behind.

[It's long overdue, what was he waiting for!]

[Why don't you just get on the train and catch up with Serena!]

[Don't they use social networking sites?]

There are those who are excited, and there are those who complain, but it also proves that most people have been watching the plot develop intently.

The heroine boarded the train and watched the scenery on both sides from the outside regressing, echoing the beginning of the film, and the one-hour and forty-minute movie ended.

Bang Bang Bang!

It began with a random burst of applause, which quickly turned into a chorus of applause within five seconds, accompanied by shouts from some young men.

The whole creative team took the stage to thank them.

The group of college students who yearn for a fast-paced life accepts the style of this film, which means that the film is half the success.

As for how to evaluate the artistry, it will be the real thing to see at the York Film Festival.

......

At three o'clock in the afternoon of March 29, Hawke, who had been fiddling with various tailors and makeup artists for a long time, finally stood in the waiting area of the red carpet of the film festival.

Barclays's black suit just rightly accentuates his size.

As a jade pendant worn by Chinese men, it also made a touch of embellishment for the combination of Hawke's black and white solid colors.

An ice walnut jade pendant with a diameter of five centimeters hung around his waist, making Hawke tremble.

If such a thin line is broken, his income for half a year will be gone.

Jocelyn also wore a black gown, in a satin style.

The brand Hawke is unrecognizable, but considering the background of the Jocelyn family in the fashion industry, it must not be bad.

"Don't be nervous about walking the red carpet for the first time. David straightened his tie and said to the two newcomers, "Pay attention to the media on both sides, and leave at least five seconds for each area to take pictures." ”

As the winner of Best Short Film at the 2003 York Film Festival, David's red carpet appearance was relatively low.

The entire crew of "Love In" has a good position, and there is no need to compete with all kinds of ghosts, snakes and gods in the first half.

Preparing to enter the red carpet area, according to the rehearsal, Jocelyn took Hawke's hand and looked ahead.

"Joe, are you nervous?" said Hawke, tugging at his tie, still not quite used to such an outfit.

"A little. Jocelyn didn't look at Hawke, and nodded casually.

Then, when she was about to enter, she casually said, "What about the partner you invited? ”

"I didn't ask. Hawke replied, "She only said that she was going to the drinking party, and the rest of the things were not clear." ”

"Yes. Jocelyn bit her lip, then turned to Hawke and smiled, "Let's go, come on." ”

After walking forward for more than ten meters, leaving the waiting area, and turning a corner, the scene in front of me changed instantly.

The weather in Yorkshire is nice today and there is some sunshine.

The clicks of cameras, cameras, guns, guns, and the frenzied frequency of flashes made Hawke feel like he had entered a noisy market.

As far as the eye can see, a red carpet ten meters wide but less than fifty meters long is surrounded by layers of media on both sides.

In the early part of the red carpet, you can vaguely see several figures wearing bright color long skirts in infinite circles.

A girl spun around twice and then snapped and fell.

And at this moment, David held Jennifer, and Hawke took Jocelyn on the red carpet.

As soon as I saw David MacDonald, who came with a work in the competition unit, the cameras that wanted to shoot the unknown fallen woman immediately turned around.

Hawk felt like he was being targeted by dozens of 98Ks at the same time, and the shutter sound followed.

Click! Click!

Walking slowly forward, Hawke and Jocelyn would be stopped by the media on both sides from time to time.

"Hawke, I'm a reporter from Mango Entertainment, how do you feel about walking the red carpet for the first time?" A tall Chinese reporter took advantage of his height and handed the microphone to Hawke.

"It's exciting, it's been an extraordinary experience. Hawke said calmly.

In fact, this kind of question is extremely unnutritious, and there is no difference between asking and not asking.

"And thanks to Barclays, their latest spring/summer style is incorporating Chinese influences, such as the blue and white porcelain pattern on the buttons on my cuffs. Hawke deliberately raised his hand and gave a close-up of the high couture sponsored by the gold owner's father.

The reporter continued: "The movie you starred in was shortlisted for the main competition unit, so do you have the confidence to win the Best Actor nomination?"

This one is almost impossible.

Hawke understands his own strengths, and David has been unblocking relationships during his time in Britain, aiming for the best director and best picture awards for "Love".

Whether it is Hawke or Joceline, they lack some competitive capital compared to the other contestants.

Of course, that can't be said.

"David is a very good director, and together we do our best to present good films for everyone, and we hope to make a difference. After answering the question, Hawke took Jocelyn in his arms and left the interview area.

The camera follows David's footsteps all the way forward, and Hawke and Joceline, who are walking behind, also attract a lot of attention.

After the first half-minute of tension, Hawke felt like he was in love with what it was like to be under the flash.

For a few moments, he became the center of the media spotlight.

The sound of every shutter press made his heart beat strongly.

At this time, he especially wanted to raise his arms and shout, shouting out the words of Xiao Lizi on the big boat.

"I am the king of the world!"
