Chapter 659: Crime
What Shu Payn is afraid of is to recreate the scene of "Accidents" starring Tao Czen at the French Film Festival many years ago.
At that time, Tao Cen's performance was also impeccable, but because of her status, the audience's expectations for her were much higher than those of Jiang Se at that time.
Therefore, "Accidents" and "Demons" competed in the same scene, and all audiences, including Shu Peien, agreed that Jiang Se's performance that year was more amazing than Tao Cen's decent performance.
Tao Cen suffered a loss back then, but now the feng shui is taking turns, and it has also turned to Jiang Se.
If Jiang Se has worked very hard in previous works, in this movie, she must put in 12 points of hard work in order to meet the audience's expectations.
"Don't say it, don't say it. ”
Cui Changcheng listened to Shu Payen talk about the movie endlessly, stopped in time, and asked about his body, anyway, how the movie is, after the release can always be seen.
This time at the French Film Festival, there was far more media attention to Jiangser than in previous years.
"God's Redemption" is still in the limelight, she still has a marriage to ask, and the media who want to interview her have been making appointments.
On the opening ceremony of the French Film Festival, Jiang Se and Tao Cen followed Huo Zhiming and appeared in the eyes of the media.
Tao Cen's long wavy hair was pushed to one side, wearing a black bandeau dress, with snow-white skin and red lips that were particularly eye-catching, with a kind of cold and mature sexy temptation.
Jiang Se wore a lotus pink close-fitting dress, perfectly revealing her slender and long figure.
Both of them arrived in France at the same time in the past few days, and although they stayed in the same hotel, they didn't see each other much, and most of the time they were busy with each other.
The media from all over the world who came to participate in the film festival showed Jiang Se the moment Jiang Se appeared, and the assistant next to Tao Cen showed a little embarrassment on his face.
After hurriedly taking a few photos of Tao Cen, some domestic media turned their lenses away.
Tao Cen looked indifferent to such a scene, as if he was not angry.
Jiang Se's gaze met her in the air, revealing a faint smile, nodding slightly at Tao Cen, she also showed a smile, and then naturally turned her head away by waving to the reporter.
Compared to the resentment on her assistant's face, Tao Cen's reaction was naturally much more generous.
Jiang Se accepted a short temporary interview with several media reporters, talked about the movie, and inevitably was asked about her husband, and she said everything.
Shu Payn had already selected the location of "The Suspect" on the Internet, and he came to the film festival this time, because of his health, there were not many movies to watch.
In the current list of movies, except for "The Suspect" and the works of several big directors that he has outlined as must-see, the rest of the movies are ready to wait for the later word-of-mouth to come out.
When he entered the movie palace, he also saw the crew surrounded by the media.
Shu Peien originally wanted to talk to Jiang Se at first, but seeing such a scene, he stretched out his hand and waited in his pocket for a while, there were only a lot more people around Jiang Se, he was stunned for a while, and had to dispel the idea of greeting Jiang Se.
He looked at the time, there was still nearly half an hour before the broadcast of "The Suspect", he took out his mobile phone, filmed the scene of Jiang Se being surrounded by reporters, thought about it and sent it to his wife's mobile phone, and quipped: Four years ago, I still remember that it was the French Film Festival, Zhao Rang took Jiang Se and his party to France with "Demon".
At that time, Jiang Se was not well-known, and Liu Ye was the most famous among several people, and was well-known by some foreign media at that time because of the filming of Zhang Jing'an's "Rescue Operation".
But even so, the initial treatment of "Demon" was still slightly shabby.
Shu Payn still remembers that he was originally going to watch Tao Cen's movie, and accidentally stumbled into the theater of "Demon".
He hadn't booked tickets in advance, but at that time, the fame of "Demon" was too weak, and there was no need to book tickets in advance, the theater was still empty, and when he entered, there were still a few foreign reporters entering the theater, looking ready to rest.
Jiang Se felt a little green back then, and she was outside the theater with the crew, not to mention the people who interviewed her, and there weren't even many people passing by to say hello.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the theater of "Demon" as a crowd, and Shu Payn can still chat with her casually after watching the movie.
It's like now, it's only been a few years, and the people who want to talk to Jiang Se and interview her are already in line.
He smiled and rubbed his hands, feeling happy for Jiang Se.
She became famous, and it was naturally different from the scene when she was so snubbed.
Shu Payen turned around to leave, and Jiang Se was in the interval between interviews, vaguely looking through the moving heads, as if he had seen an acquaintance.
"I'm sorry. ”
She apologized, smiled apologetically at the reporter who greeted her, and pushed through the crowd to see Shu Payn, who was about to leave.
"Teacher Shu. ”
She shouted in Huaxia, Shu Peien didn't expect that she could find herself surrounded by this group of people, and thought that the previous call was just a mistake for herself.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Se called again:
"Teacher Shu. ”
Shu Payen did hear it now, he turned sideways, and saw Jiang Se quickly communicating with the media in English, and after sending people away, he walked over to Shu Payn.
She was still sorting out her clothes, and several assistants stopped the media who wanted to follow her.
"I thought I saw the wrong person, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”
Jiang Se was indeed a little surprised to see Shu Payen here, she had several encounters with Shu Payn, and when her movies were released in recent years, Shu Payn wrote film reviews for her and praised her a lot.
"I just came in and happened to see you. Shu Peien laughed twice, "I originally wanted to say hello, but seeing that you are very busy and are about to leave, I didn't expect you to see me." ”
Jiang Se nodded, there are many people here, and there are media reporters in the distance, it is really not a place to talk, the two entered the movie palace, Jiang Se glanced at Shu Peien:
"At first, I thought I had recognized the wrong person, are you feeling better?"
This circle is very small, and if there is any disturbance, you can find out with a little attention.
At the beginning of the year, there was news that Shu Payen was unwell, and some people in the industry at that time reported that Shu Payen was very likely to retire and probably would not participate in this year's French Film Festival.
Shu Payn has actually been in a state of semi-retirement in recent years, and he has not written many film reviews, and his columns are more in the form of special invitations.
But no matter how few film reviews he has, he has seen every movie released by Jiang Se in the past few years.
So after the news that Shu Payen was unwell this year and might want to leave this circle, some people thought of Jiang Se as soon as possible.
As we all know, "The Suspect" co-starred by Jiang Se and Tao Cen will be released in March this year, and this movie has such an uncertain factor as Huo Zhiming, and it also gathers Jiang Se and Tao Cen, and the watchability is very high.
Before the film was released, the public was already looking forward to it.
He is Jiang Se's 'fan', in previous years, Jiang Se released a new work, and everyone thought that it was natural for him to write a film review of Jiang Se's new work, and this year at this time Shu Peien came to the news that he was going to retire, and everyone was speculating about Jiang Se's new work, and he couldn't write it.
After all, in "The Suspect", Jiang Se and Tao Cen have rivalry, and if Shu Payen wants to write a film review, he will inevitably mention the performance of the two actresses in the movie, and if he is not careful, he may offend one of them.
He may take the opportunity of being unwell to give up his plan to write a film review of "The Suspect" this year.
"Much better. Shu Payn has also heard of the rumors on the Internet, and there are many people who speculate, and some people post bets on it.
With concern in Jiang Se's eyes, Shu Payen smiled:
"On this trip to France, in fact, I didn't set too many goals, and I couldn't get tired. When he said this, he asked Jiang Se:
"I heard that when Mr. Huo reported "Criminal Suspect", the names of you and Tao Cen were in the heroine's declaration column. ”
This kind of news is no longer a secret in the industry, almost as long as the news is not closed, it is clear that Shu Peien originally attached great importance to Jiang Se, and the news about her would be even more focused on inquiring, so it was not surprising to know about it.
Jiang Se is also very calm:
"That's what I heard. ”
He coughed twice, took out a thermos cup from his pocket, and took two sips of water before clearing his throat:
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Se shook his head:
"I don't know. ”
She said something interesting, and Shu Penn pondered whether her 'unclear' sentence was a reply to her performance in "The Suspect", or because she missed the award in the previous two years.
Speaking of which, Shu Payne is actually a little emotional.
It's not that she has bad acting skills, nor does she lack the ability to pick a good script, in fact, Shu Payen thought the first two movies were very good.
But either he lost to the invisible rules and systems, or he fulfilled the director and crew, and today, Jiang Se's debut time has not been short, there are many works, and there are also awards.
Not to mention the domestic awards, the truly internationally meaningful awards, "Centennial Filmmaker", "God's Redemption" even won an authoritative award such as Best Film, but she did not get a certificate that was enough to certify her acting skills.
In "Demon", she was so thin that she lost her shape and gave up her image to challenge the role of a mother who lost her daughter, but this did not reverse everyone's impression of her - unparalleled beauty.
Such a label is worthy of joy when it is attached to everyone, but it is a little helpless to stick it on an excellent actor.
"The Criminal Suspect" has not yet been released, and the public's impression of the two heroines in the play is more inclined to Tao Cen to belong to the acting school, and Jiang Se is more pleasing to the eye.
Even if everyone knows that she has acting skills, the first impression of her is that she is still mostly beautiful.
"What do you think of your performance in 'The Suspect'?"
Shu Payne actually hopes that she can win an award, which can prove that in addition to her box office appeal and beautiful face, she also has acting skills that are worth remembering.
She smiled:
"This should be left to you to judge, after all, you are a professional film critic, I am not. ”
She lowered her head, her slender neck was like a swan, and her smiling demeanor was quite pleasing to the eye, almost reaching the level of a textbook on etiquette norms, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little gentle, and she was not displeased because she was overbearing by the stars and moons before, nor was she displeased because Shu Payn had such a slightly 'questioning' attitude.
It seems that the two just talked about a very light topic, and she doesn't seem to realize the attention of the public on the Internet to her new work after the movie "God's Redemption".
"When I was shooting, I did my best. ”
After she said this, Chen Shan and the others hurriedly came in, saw Jiang Se, breathed a sigh of relief, and came up to greet Shu Peien.
Mo Anqi stayed outside to block reporters, these people saw Jiang Se and didn't reveal anything, they shouldn't let go easily, after Xia Chaoqun said that he wanted to train her, Mo Anqi himself also consciously cultivated his ability in this area.
Shu Peien got the answer he wanted, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, there were still about ten minutes before the release of "The Suspect", so he didn't bother Jiang Se to talk to the two assistants, and quickly said goodbye and left.
This time at the film festival, "The Suspect" is also very eye-catching among the films exhibited in the first class because of Jiang Se's fame, and the arranged broadcast hall is not the corner of the year, Shu Payn quickly found it, and when he entered the theater, the movie was still five or six minutes before it began to be released.
At this time, the large theater that can accommodate 300 people is almost full, in addition to some Asian faces, most of the foreign media are also among them, obviously also coming for Jiang Se.
As he sat down, people came in one after another, whispering the names of 'Giancer' and 'Cesare' until two minutes before the show, when the lights went out in the auditorium and the voices stopped.
In the last row of the theater, Huo Zhiming also sat in the corner with the crew.
They swiped their cards to enter after the lights went out, and they didn't attract the attention of others, and even the media people sitting in the back row didn't notice that Jiang Se, who was being discussed by them earlier, also came in.
Before the film started, Shu Payen had watched it several times, until the last second of the countdown, the screen went black, and "The Suspect" was finally officially broadcast.
The picture lit up, and in a communication room, several staff members were sorting out the letters, sorting and sorting each letter, and a slightly chubby man about fifty years old picked up one of them, his brows furrowed:
"This is no name again, only written Wangjin General Team received. He scratched his head, "Isn't there something wrong with this?"
He grabbed the letter and flipped through it, there was no name of the recipient on it, and there was no information about the sender, the address written was the Wangjin Corps, and the phone was still an office phone.
The person who spoke bent down and pulled open the drawer and took out several similar letters from it, which was a prank, but after sending so many letters in a row, shouldn't there be a head?
