"Let me warn you beforehand, this movie is boring, very boring."

Xia Wanqing said.

"I thought of it before I came." Jiang Yan's expression was calm.

If this movie wasn't boring, it wouldn't have been so bad at the box office.

Seeing the four-hour duration, Jiang Yan instantly felt the urge to be too lazy to watch, but he still forced himself to cheer up.

The movie plays, as Xia Wanqing said, this movie can be described as extremely boring.

It is about the daily life of an Italian family, and is shot in the way of two male protagonists and two-way narration, and the film is slow-paced and has no bright spots.

"If you're bored, you can fast forward."

Xia Wanqing handed Jiang Yan the remote control.

Half an hour passed, and Xia Wanqing observed Jiang Yan's every move.

I'm very patient, and I didn't fast forward once for half an hour.

Xia Wanqing secretly thought, but it didn't take long for Jiang Yan to become irritable, and he frantically pressed the fast-forward button, and the four-hour movie was finished in an hour.

"How?" Xia Wanqing asked.

Jiang Yan took a sip of cold Coke and looked at the big screen thoughtfully.

In this "Life is Like a Play" directed by Norris, there is no problem with the actors' acting skills, including all aspects of the camera, which proves that Norris's directing skills are still there.

The only problem is in the plot, which is boring and boring, and people can't arouse any desire to continue watching.

I am already very patient, but there is a limit to patience after all.

"It's hard to believe that Norris can make such a bad movie." Jiang Yan threw the cup he drank into the trash.

"It's not just you, it's hard for a lot of people to believe."

Xia Wanqing said with a smile.

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back." Jiang Yan decided not to stay.

......

Hotel, Jiang Luoli knocked on Jiang Yan's door, but found that no one responded.

The elevator door in the corridor opened, and Lao Xiujie, who was slightly drunk, walked out.

"Director Lao, have you seen Jiang Yan?"

Jiang Luoli, who was about to make a phone call, asked.

"Jiang Yan and I attended Director Norton's banquet, and he had a good conversation with a young lady named Xia Wanqing, who was a mixed-race young lady who asked Jiang Yan to apply sunscreen to her in the afternoon."

"Sometimes fate can't stop it, you say?"

Lao Xiujie burped.

He estimated that Jiang Yan and Xia Wanqing were fighting the landlord in a love hotel, and they were very happy, the kind that was not boring all night.

Hearing Lao Xiujie's words, Jiang Luoli was stunned.

"Director Lao, you drank too much, Miss Xia and I went to watch the movie "Life is Like a Play" filmed by Norris."

Jiang Yan walked out of another elevator.

"So fast?" Lao Xiujie shook his head, making sure that it was Jiang Yan who was standing in front of him, and said subconsciously.

Jiang Yan: "......"

In the hotel room, Jiang Luoli leaned against the wall with her hands on her shoulders.

"It's only the first day I've been in Venice, and she's a mixed-race beauty."

"Do you know "Life is a Play"?"

Jiang Yan sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

"You know, it's a four-hour movie, and it's made by my favorite director, Norris, and it's said to be a bad box office." Jiang Luoli said.

Norris has made many romantic films, the most famous of which is "Rainy Day in Italy", which tells the story of a childhood sweetheart who break through many obstacles and finally get together.

Norris's films do not have strong drama and conflict, the shots are very beautiful, and people who like his movies like them very much, and they can't watch it for a few minutes without feeling.

Jiang Yan told Jiang Luoli the ins and outs of Xia Wanqing.

"This movie gives me a very strange feeling, the actors' acting skills are no problem, and the shooting technique is as usual Norris's style, but the plot is bland." Jiang Yan said.

The strange point is that if the script is very ordinary, it can even be described as garbage, why does Norris insist on shooting?

You must know that "Life is Like a Play" was filmed for three full years, during which Norris repeatedly asked for an increase in the budget, from an investment of 50 million US dollars to 200 million US dollars!

Spend so much effort to shoot this?

Jiang Yan doesn't think Norris's vision of reading the script is problematic, after all, this is a genius director who has created $10,000 and directed and acted in a movie with a total box office of $50 million.

"You mean, what went wrong with this movie that caused such a low box office?" Jiang Luoli grasped the point.

"That's right."

Jiang Yan nodded.

"But what does this have to do with you, it's a foregone conclusion, even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with you." Jiang Luoli said.

Whether a movie is good or not depends on the audience, the high box office of the movie proves that the audience likes it, and a bad box office is a bad movie.

This is an eternal fact, "Life is Like a Play" was taken off the shelves on the second day of its premiere, which proves that it is a bad movie, and those theater management are not fools, if they can make money, they are even crazier than anyone else.

"Maybe it has something to do with me."

Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"Cut, you're not the boss of Lion Entertainment." Jiang Luoli rolled her eyes.

However, she can imagine the mood of the boss of Lion Entertainment, and it is estimated that her heart is dripping blood, this is an investment of 200 million US dollars, plus publicity expenses, I am afraid that she will not forget this incident until she dies.

"Went to sleep." Jiang Luoli yawned.

Late at night, Jiang Yan lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, thinking about what happened today.

First of all, Xia Wanqing, as long as she wants tonight, she can go to the love hotel to fight the landlord, so that she can appreciate her skills in fighting the landlord.

But this woman is very scheming, and she doesn't know what her purpose is for approaching her for the time being.

The second is Norris's "Life is a Play", and I really want to meet this internationally acclaimed director, and ask what caused him to make this kind of film.

Tomorrow, when Lao Xiujie wakes up, you can ask him if he knows Norris, thinking about Jiang Yan falling asleep.

In the early morning of this day, Jiang Yan saw Lao Xiujie at the breakfast buffet.

"You came back so soon last night, with such a good body and so poor physical strength?"

Lao Xiujie joked. m.

He is very familiar with Jiang Yan now, and he has reached the point where he has nothing to talk about and nothing to say.

"I'm not interested in Xia Wanqing." Jiang Yan picked up a slice of toast and smeared it with cream.

"Director Lao, do you know Norris?"

Jiang Yan got down to business.

"I don't know." Lao Xiujie shook his head.

"But I heard that Norris fell ill because of "Life is a Play", which hit him hard, plus the death of an old friend."

"An old friend died?"

"Well, Norris has been friends with the vice president of Lion Entertainment for many years, and the vice president died of illness not long ago." Lao Xiujie said.

"I see."

Jiang Yan packed a breakfast and brought it to Jiang Luoli, who was still sleeping.

Since there was no way to get to know Norris through Lao Xiujie, he could only think of other ways, and soon the face of a mixed-race beauty appeared in Jiang Yan's mind.

It's summer evening!

Some people died, but not completely......
