Chapter 163: Arrogance
"Oh my God, you're still a movie actor, it's unbelievable!" Even in the revolving restaurant, Shakira still felt incredible that Lin Zhimo was an actor.
No man in the world would hate the compliments of beautiful women, let alone a world-renowned star like Shakira. Therefore, when he saw Shakira looking at him with a look of adoration, Lin Zhimo couldn't help but feel a little light, but after all, his surname was resolute, so he didn't get carried away, just smiled peacefully: "I just have a wider range of interests, I don't have a surname, it's better for you to focus on one aspect to develop." β
Shakira shook her head and continued to ask, "Then what is the name of the film you exhibited this time, and what role do you play in it?" β
Lin Zhimo smiled mysteriously, winked at Shakira and said, "I will only tell you the name of this film, but the specific plot still needs you to watch it in person." β
Shakira patted the table lightly: "You can't do this, can't you reveal it at all?" β
Lin Zhimo cut a slice of steak with a knife and replied slowly: "If you can call my name clearly, then I may not be able to give you a general description of the content of the film." β
Shakira's face immediately collapsed when she heard this, she had already tried for a long time just now, but no matter how hard her tongue tried, she couldn't say the words "Lin Zhimo" clearly, you must know that she was proficient in several foreign languages.
"Ok, I surrender. You Chinese is so difficult to learn, every Chinese is a language genius! Shakira tried a few more times, but finally had to declare failure.
Lin Zhimo said with a smile: "The pronunciation of Chinese can almost be said to be one of the most comprehensive pronunciation languages in the world, as long as you learn Chinese, then you can easily pronounce the sounds of any other language." Yubi saw that Shakira seemed to be really unhappy, so he said: "Which film I played, called 'Seventeen-year-old Bicycle', mainly about ......"
Lin Zhimo then roughly told Shakira about the content of the film, but Lin Zhimo's language level is so superb that he always deliberately omits key points, and describes those unimportant plots in detail.
So after listening to Lin Zhimo's description, Shakira found that she actually had an urge to watch the film right away.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Zhimo's mobile phone rang suddenly, and he nodded apologetically to Shakira, and Lin Zhimo came to a corner where no one was.
"Hey, Brother Wang, what's the matter?"
"Zhimo, the process of the red carpet catwalk has been arranged, do you want to go alone or do you need the organizer to arrange a model for you?" Wang Xiaoshuai asked on the phone.
Since none of the actresses in this film came, only Lin Zhimo, Li Bin and Wang Xiaoshuai and several main creators participated in the film festival, so the organizer asked Wang Xiaoshuai about it.
"I'm alone." Lin Zhimo couldn't help but think of the little model who sneered at him last year, so he answered immediately without thinking.
"Oh, okay, then I'll just reply to them."
"Well, okay, so be it."
When Lin Zhimo hung up the phone and returned to the table again, he found that Shakira was writing something with his head down, so Lin Zhimo did not disturb the other party, and sat silently in his place and began to eat the bread on the table.
But I don't know if it's his taste or it's true, Lin Zhimo feels that these somewhat sweet breads actually give him a feeling that is not as good as the big steamed buns at home, and even worse than the bread made by his father.
"Give! How about you look at this song? Shakira suddenly handed Lin Zhimo a piece of paper.
Lin Zhimo took it and found that it was actually a music score, and he couldn't help but look at Shakira.
"You have an old Chinese saying that 'the stones of other mountains can attack jade', and I would like to hear your opinion on this song." Shakira**'s eyes were full of seriousness at the moment.
Lin Zhimo nodded understandingly, and first praised Shakira: "It seems that you still know something about our Chinese culture." β
Seeing that Lin Zhimo had already looked down at his tune, Shakira waved her hand and ordered two more servings of orange juice, and then put a glass in front of Lin Zhimo.
After a while, Lin Zhimo raised his face with a little frown and said: "Hmm, this song feels a little too casual to me, it seems to be a song written by a person who has just learned to create, although there are some passages that still have some merits, but in general, it is not an excellent work." β
Shakira's evaluation of Lin Zhimo seemed to be expected, and her face remained unchanged and continued to ask: "What if this is a ten-year-old child's creation?" β
Lin Zhimo looked at Shakira in surprise: "You won't tell me that this is a song you wrote when you were ten years old, right?" β
Shakira smiled a little reservedly, but she still couldn't hold back, and asked with a cracked smile: "How is it, is it okay?" β
"It's not just okay," Lin Zhimo shook his head with emotion, "It's worthy of being a singer who debuted at the age of fifteen." β
Lin Zhimo didn't say anything to compliment, but Shakira was still very helpful when she heard Lin Zhimo's exclamation. In fact, from the time Lin Zhimo said that he was an actor, Shakira was a little unconvinced, as a girl with an IQ of 140, she has always been a proud figure in the eyes of others since she was a child, whether it is her creative talent or language talent, few people can compare with her, but the Lin Zhimo she met today has challenged her self-esteem.
In terms of creation, Lin Zhimo's talent is not worse than her, at least judging from the song he wrote in the museum, Lin Zhimo's talent in songwriting is world-class; In terms of language, Lin Zhimo knows Chinese, English, German, and some Spanish, which can be said to be equally not inferior to Shakira; And Lin Zhimo is also an actor, and he can participate in the Berlin Film Festival's films, and his acting skills must be absolutely good - it can be said that Lin Zhimo is almost everywhere to suppress her.
Shakira is not a girl who loves more seriously, but the sudden appearance of Lin Zhimo still makes her feel a faint "threat", so she has this behavior of "showing off" to him with her work when she was ten years old.
Lin Zhimo didn't know that the reason why Shakira would do this would be this kind of mentality, he still had more appreciation for Shakira, and he didn't have any comparability.
"You're really good." Lin Zhimo stretched out his thumb again and said.
Shakira saw Lin Zhimo's frank appreciation of herself, and suddenly felt very naΓ―ve in her heart, but despite this, she was still a little unconvinced, so she quickly changed the topic and said: "Why didn't you write the lyrics of the song you wrote in the museum?" β
"I was going to make it a song for the Olympic bid, but the inspiration wasn't about the Olympics when I wrote it, so it might take a while to write the lyrics." Lin Zhimo explained casually.
"Do you want me to write you lyrics in a foreign language?" Shakira stared at Lin Zhimo a little nervously, for fear that Lin Zhimo would not agree.
Lin Zhimo was stunned for a while, he didn't expect Shakira to make this suggestion, and after pondering for a while, he said, "But you can't sing this song." β
Shakira hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's not me singing it myself...... I just wanted to write the lyrics for this song, and if you don't feel satisfied, you can do without it, that's okay. β
Since Shakira said this, Lin Zhimo didn't allow it, so he agreed: "Okay, then I'll wait for good news." β
After the two finished eating at noon, Shakira left early.
When she returned to the hotel where she was staying, Shakira immediately took out the song Lin Zhimo gave him, and carefully felt the feelings contained in this melody.
As she understands this piece more deeply, the more Shakira feels the subtlety of Lin Zhimo's composition, at least now she can't make this kind of majestic song, and the more she feels like this, the more unconvinced Shakira is, and the more she wants to create a lyric that is completely worthy of this song.
So in the next few days, Shakira stayed at home, didn't even pay attention to the red carpet invitation of her good friend, and directly wrote the lyrics wholeheartedly in the house.
Lin Zhimo naturally didn't know that Shakira would work so hard for this song, and his mind is now all on the Berlin Film Festival.
On the red carpet catwalk at the opening ceremony, Lin Zhimo was undoubtedly much more low-key than the other shortlisted Best Actor, a black stand-up collar tunics set off his long figure more spiritually, coupled with the designer's well-designed hairstyle, even Lin Zhimo as a Chinese star who is not concerned by the European film market still attracted the attention of many reporters.
Among them, Lin Zhimo was most surprised that he actually found his fans among the fans on both sides of the red carpet, there were three or four teenage girls wearing thick down jackets, holding flashing cards with Lin Zhimo's name written on them, and they had been cheering Lin Zhimo's name from the moment Lin Zhimo stepped on the red carpet.
"You are a local student, didn't you return to China for the Chinese New Year?" Lin Zhimo came to several girls and asked with concern.
Don't look at Lin Zhimo's cheers when he didn't come over, but when they really heard Lin Zhimo's question, several girls were stunned for a while. One of the quieter-looking girls stammered a little and said, "We'...... I haven't gone back yet, and I'm going to be on the red carpet...... I'll go back when I see you. β
Lin Zhimo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and smiled at them: "I'm very happy that you can support me, but it's more important to reunite with your family, you can just watch it on TV at home." β
After greeting a few girls, Lin Zhimo walked inside under the guidance of the security guard.
"Wow, Zhimo is really too approachable, he actually cares about how we will go back later!"
"Yes, yes, he asked me where my hometown is, but unfortunately I was too nervous to say anything."
"I didn't expect that the calmest among us was Xiao Ye, she and Zhimo said so many things."
The quieter girl's face immediately turned red when she heard this: "You didn't speak at the time, I had to say it." β
"How do you say Zhimo knows that we are students?"
The girl named Xiao Ye guessed: "It should be because she saw us and Mia together, Mia looks like a student." β
Mia was their classmate in Germany.
"Wow, Zhimo is really careful!"
A group of girls chirped and chattered. (To be continued.) )
