142. The actor who was delayed by the movie
The images on the screen are constantly flickering, and the faint light is not enough to illuminate the theater.
Some small movements in the dark are naturally not so easy to notice, but Chen Li'an feels that the palms of his two hands are a little hot, as if he has returned to the moment of simulated cremation in the movie screen.
Chen Li'an looked left and right, Bai Qing and Sophie Marceau were watching the movie very seriously, and there was nothing unusual about it, but the two of them grabbed their hands but didn't let go.
Chen Li'an felt that sooner or later he would pill.
What kind of extremely cold screening is this, it's simply the Shura Field Crematorium.
You won't be stabbed by the knife. Brother Chen's mind suddenly thought, what is he afraid of as a single dog here? It's just a hand, and it's not your own initiative.
Thinking of this, Chen Li'an immediately felt at ease, and held the hands of Bai Qing and Sophie Marceau with both hands at the same time, frank and natural like a kindergarten child, just three of them turned around together and shouted that we will never be separated in the future, and we will be good friends for life!
What's wrong with good friends holding hands, it's a symbol of friendship that lasts forever!
Be a good friend for a day, that is a good friend for life, and no one can let the friendship deteriorate!
Chen Li'an is very loyal to friendship, and no one is allowed to destroy this pure feeling, love is poison, don't touch it!
Sophie Marceau noticed Chen Li'an's small movements, just turned his head to look at Chen Li'an's calm side face and continued to watch the movie, but she didn't know if the other hand he blocked was holding someone else.
Bai Qing, who was sitting on Chen Li'an's left, didn't care about his movements at all, all his thoughts were attracted by the movie, and the memories in his mind couldn't stop surging, and the oil paint portrait on the dress worn by Chen Li'an in the movie was painted by her.
Bai Qing suddenly missed the month when he first met Chen Li'an, at that time, he was tired of painting and eating together every day, as if the two of them were left in the whole world.
It's just that Chen Li'an no longer belongs to her alone.
At that time, she never thought that she would develop with Chen Li'an into what she is now, if only she had been more determined and selfish and not let him go.
Bai Qing suddenly regretted a little in his heart, but where did the regret medicine come from in this world.
Alas.
An inaudible sigh sounded in Chen Li'an's ears, he turned his head to look at Bai Qing, vaguely guessed what she was thinking, grabbed Bai Qing's hand subconsciously and subconsciously pressed slightly, clasped her palm and intertwined his fingers.
The picture in the movie is still flickering, and when Chen Li'an stripped off his shirt for a simulated ice burial, several suppressed screams suddenly sounded in the theater, and most of the audience became a little restless.
Chen Li'an in the picture has a perfect figure, which forms a strong contrast with the cold and hard ice cubes, showing the beauty of the human body to the fullest.
It's not lustful, but it's seductive enough
The two girls who came from London two days ago sat in the middle of the theater and looked at Chen Li'an in the picture, and couldn't help whispering: "His figure is really amazing, like a sculpture." ”
"yes, I really want to see his muscles with my own eyes, and it would be perfect if he could make a gay movie."
Two girls from England couldn't help but imagine what it would be like, how exciting it would be!
Sophie Marceau, as a person who has seen and experienced it with her own eyes, has no reaction to the pictures in the movie, and even thinks that Chen Li'an in the movie is much thinner than now.
"Did you deliberately lose weight in the first place?" Sophie Marceau asked quietly.
Chen Li'an snorted, and then said: "It's just a pity that I couldn't reduce a little more, and there are still some violations with the characters." ”
"It's already good, I really didn't expect your acting skills to be so good." Sophie Marceau said with some pity and tugged Chen Li'an's hand, and said with a sigh: "It's a pity that this movie is not enough for you to win the actor, if it is the work of other directors, you will have a chance to win the actor." ”
Wang Xiaoshuai, who was watching the movie seriously from a different position, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard this, did the goddess speak so directly?
I'll never be her fan again!!
While Wang Xiaoshuai was depressed, he also secretly decided in his heart that he must make a good movie in the future, and he must find Chen Li'an to act, why can't he win awards if he plays his own movie!
Wang Xiaoshuai was sad to death, he hadn't heard Sophie Marceau's words once, Shu Qi had said so before, and now Sophie Marceau had also come to make up for it.
It's as if he, the director, has dragged Chen Li'an's back legs!
Why! It's too much of a deception!
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully less. Middle-aged poor!
Sophie Marceau's words did hit Wang Xiaoshuai's confidence, but after the lights in the theater came on at the end of the movie and the audience applauded, he finally felt a little better.
There are still knowledgeable audiences, and this movie is not so bad.
The lights in the theater were turned on, Chen Li'an took the opportunity to let go of Bai Qing and Sophie Marceau's hands, stood up with Wang Xiaoshuai, and bowed slightly to the audience in the theater in thanks.
Several art critics who were invited by Chen Li'an were discussing something at this time, and after seeing Chen Li'an stand up and bow, they glanced at each other and walked over and said: "Chen, your performance is great, the relationship between art and life explored in the film is a very good theme, this is a good movie." ”
"What I didn't expect the most was that there would be so many performance artists in China, but their performance art was too formal."
The latter evaluation is quite euphemistic, if it weren't for the fact that it was just performance art in the movie, they wouldn't have commented so politely.
If they had commented on the performance art alone, they would have judged it as an absurd comedy rather than performance art.
Art critics and professional film critics have different perspectives, and several film critics who also come to watch the movie are not looking at the theme of the movie, but evaluating the film from all aspects.
Several critics in China were also disappointed, and they originally hoped that the film would continue the glorious results of last year's sunny day and shine in Venice.
Now after watching it, I just sighed silently, the movie itself is good, but it is much different from other competition movies.
Wang Xiaoshuai is still complacent at this time, and the second film in his life can be shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, which is already a high affirmation.
There was a short interactive session after the movie, Chen Li'an, Wang Xiaoshuai and Shu Qi all went on stage to interact with the audience together, which was an interview session after the movie was broadcast.
Chen Li'an on stage has become the center of the topic at the moment, everyone is very interested in this artist and actor, and most of the audiences who come to watch the movie today are also coming for this gimmick.
There are also many viewers who come from the art exhibition, and they are very curious about Chen Li'an, an artist with a wide range of hobbies, and want to see what his movies will be like.
Sophie Marceau sat down the stage and looked at Chen Li'an, who was talking eloquently on the stage, and took the initiative to sit next to Bai Qing and asked, "Is it you who was painted on the dress he was wearing in the movie just now?" ”
"Yes." Bai Qing is not hostile to Sophie Marceau, even if she has an ambiguous relationship with Chen Li'an.
Sophie Marceau smiled and said, "Suddenly I envy you, as an artistic partner, you must have the same soul and heart." ”
Bai Qing also thought so about this, so he nodded calmly and said: "No one knows him better than me, and no one knows myself better than him." ”
Sophie Marceau smiled and didn't reply, in that case, why aren't you together?
Bai Qing looked at the smile on the corner of Sophie Marceau's mouth, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his heart, no need to guess what this woman was thinking!
Hum! Just laugh! You won't stand a chance either!
Chen Li'an, who was sitting on the stage, also noticed that Sophie Marceau and Bai Qing were talking together, and felt that the atmosphere between them was a little abnormal, but now he didn't have time to care about these things.
A reporter from the United States just asked a very interesting question at this time, and Chen Li'an was still thinking about how to answer it.
Why do Chinese artists seem so depressed and nervous, why are some artists arrested, is it because the environment is not free?
This is a difficult question to solve, and it is easy to make mistakes if you don't answer it well.
Chen Li'an thought for a moment and said: "Art is boring in the eyes of many people, and movies are only shown from the perspective of ordinary people, as for why some artists are arrested, it is not because the environment is not free, but because their art interferes with social order, and art cannot violate the law." ”
"Does that mean your laws aren't sound and humane enough?"
"I'm sorry, we should talk about movies, please don't ask any more questions that have nothing to do with movies, but I can answer your question, if the law is humanized, it is no longer law."
After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he stopped bothering with this reporter who was deliberately looking for trouble, and he didn't come to see the movie!
There are not many people who deliberately find fault, and the Venice Film Festival is relatively pure, and soon the topic returns to the film itself.
A reporter asked curiously, "Is this your first film?" Your performance is very mature and natural, not at all like a newcomer, is it because you are an artist yourself? ”
"That's right, this is my first film." Chen Li'an said and smiled, and said modestly: "I haven't been in contact with art before acting in this movie, so acting well is only because of my talent, and at the same time, I have discovered my talent as an artist." ”
Reporter: "." Although she was a little speechless, she liked the answer.
Chen Li'an's immodest answer did not make everyone feel that there was anything wrong, here is the answer that the West prefers this kind of confident and flamboyant answer.
"Chen, your talent is truly amazing! You will definitely be a good actor and look forward to seeing you next time at the festival, Venice owes you a trophy. ”
The reporter sat down with a smile, and the meaning of the words was obvious, you don't want to win awards for this movie, wait until the next time you encounter a good movie.
Everyone else in the theater also nodded approvingly, feeling that Chen Li'an's performance was definitely worthy of a trophy, but the actor trophy of the film festival has never been just about performance.
Chen Li'an stood on the stage and said with a smile: "Venice does not owe me a trophy, I will get a golden lion back." ”
"Haha, you are very confident, I am looking forward to you winning the Golden Lion Award at the Art Exhibition!"
"Then I'll start writing the press release early!"
Several art critics responded with a smile, and they also felt that Chen Li'an was not likely to win the award, they were not good at acting, but they had their own profound insights in art.
The brief fifteen-minute interaction on the stage passed quickly, and Chen Li'an looked at Wang Xiaoshuai, who was a little sullen, and said, "Very disappointed? I remember you told me when you were filming that you just wanted to make a movie, and now that the movie is finished, how can you still care about the gains and losses. ”
"How can you not care." Wang Xiaoshuai sighed and said: "I'm not a saint, just a layman with ideas. ”
Shu Qi patted Wang Xiaoshuai on the shoulder from behind and said, "It's good now, and the mentality of Long Wangshu is unacceptable." ”
"Let's wait a few months for the Rotterdam Film Festival." Chen Li'an comforted and said with a smile: "Tian Ji horse racing is really useful!" ”
Wang Xiaoshuai: "." So Rotterdam is an inferior horse? Himself is a medium horse, Venice is a top horse?
But there's nothing wrong with that.
After the screening ended, the next movie in the theater was about to start, Chen Li'an and the others walked out of the cinema, looking at the evening sky, and their mood suddenly improved a lot.
The afterglow of the setting sun painted the whole water city with a girl's blush, shy and cute.
"Li'an, Xiaoshuai and I are going to meet with the filmmaker, do you want to be together?" Shu Qi paused and looked at Chen Li'an and asked.
Chen Li'an immediately shook his head and said: "I don't like to talk about money, especially bargaining, so I won't make trouble." ”
You're high! You're amazing! If you have the ability, you will be given dividends after the film is sold, don't ask for it!
Shu Qi and Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Chen Li'an with disdain, thinking that he just wanted to stay with the two girls.
Chen Li'an stared at them, and the meaning conveyed in his eyes was very clear, why are you two old men still not moist?
"Humph! Let's go. Shu Qi snorted, and left with Wang Xiaoshuai.
After the annoying light bulb was gone, Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Sophie Marceau and Bai Qing, and just wanted to open his mouth to invite them to dinner together, but was interrupted by Sophie Marceau first.
"I'm leaving too, and I have an appointment with a friend tonight." Sophie Marceau winked at Chen Li'an after speaking, then waved at Bai Qing and turned to leave.
She didn't come to Venice not only to meet Chen Li'an, but also to promote the movie she starred in, and she also had to inquire whether she had a chance to win the actress, how could she easily admit defeat until the last moment.
Chen Li'an's acting skills are so good, he doesn't hope to win the actor, so on the other hand, why don't he have a chance to win the actress if he doesn't act well?
The world is so magical, Sophie Marceau has a headache when she thinks of the judge she quietly asked tonight, it is a difficult and venomous woman.
If you can bring Chen Li'an, there may be an unexpected surprise, but Sophie Marceau doesn't want to do this, it always feels like taking advantage of Chen Li'an's beauty.
And before the closing ceremony, meeting with the judges is taboo in itself, and it is better to keep a low profile.
Looking at the back of Sophie Marceau leaving, Bai Qing turned his head to look at Chen Li'an and said, "Reluctant? ”
"Don't be so bored, I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat at night." Chen Li'an touched his chin and said, "How about eating German roast pig's trotters?" I feel pretty good. ”
Hearing the word pig's trotters, Bai Qing rolled his eyes and said: "It's better to find a barbecue stall when you go back to China than that, if you want to eat it yourself, I found a Chinese restaurant, and I'm going to eat Chinese food." ”
"Okay, let's have Chinese food." Chen Li'an said helplessly.
The two people naturally walked side by side, holding hands and slowly moving towards the sunset, and the shadows behind them were dragged by the red sunset for a long time, like people coming out of a painting.
The Chinese restaurants in Venice are not authentic at all, and the chefs here have made great changes to cater to the tastes of the locals, and Chen Li'an and Bai Qing are not happy to eat.
Westernized Chinese food is the most unacceptable, and it is better to eat Western food directly to make people happy.
This kind of experience reminded Chen Li'an of the news he saw in his previous life, the Japanese food in Italy was opened by Wenzhou people, and it was also reformed, and the most important thing was that the Japanese food store opened by the Japanese was closed.
The most bizarre thing is that Italians have always thought that the Japanese food store opened by Wenzhou people is the most authentic!
After walking out of the restaurant with a gloomy face, Chen Li'an looked at Bai Qing and said, "Buy another pizza and go back to eat." ”
"Two copies!" Bai Qing immediately stretched out his finger and said.
Can't these Chinese restaurants insist on themselves! Even if the culture is influenced by others, it is impossible to say that the food is still Westernized!
Compared with foreign Chinese restaurants and those Western restaurants in China, the gap is really too big.
People insist on themselves in China, and strive to promote Western food culture, and it is also synonymous with big meals, while Chinese food goes abroad, and strives to change itself, changing Chinese food beyond recognition, and has become synonymous with unhealth.
The root of all this is still cultural self-confidence
