When will I be the queen

Chapter 403 Old acquaintance

The person who came over to say hello just now actually came up and asked her if she had time to have a meal tonight. She also asked if she was interested in bringing new people. Of course, there are also people who greet her warmly. It can be said that most of them greet her well, but just because There are only one or two who are so brave, so let’s give Cai Cai an emo treatment. She didn't understand what made these people so brave. Was it because she was filming abroad? But she is a purebred, pure Chinese from the inside out. She really can't accept such a brave greeting.

Even if he didn't have any bad intentions, the calculation that was just written on his face made Cai Cai praised his bravery. Nothing I meet in a foreign country is strange, but when I come back, I feel that I am too demanding of my compatriots. Everything I see feels so brave. Is this a different kind of admiration for foreign countries? There is no reason to have low requirements for foreigners but high requirements for compatriots.

As soon as the Immortal Lord came over, Si Chen, Cao Xin and others stood up, and everyone else also stood up. Cai Cai slowed down and stood up. By the way, she seems to be less polite to Xianjun than before. Before, she would stand up to greet Xianjun. Now, it's good that she can look at Xianjun.

This doesn't seem to be a good thing. Why should we lower our bottom line and be polite to outsiders, but be too demanding and relaxed towards our own people?

Immortal Lord's Eight-faced Linglong obviously has a sense of isolation and alienation from the world. He doesn't smile, but has gentle facial features and gestures with his eyes. So, when he smiled at you, nodded, or even said a word, you felt like you were surprised and honored to have won a big prize. This is quite magical. Because the immortal king is not the kind of alienation from above, he is just an immortal, alienated from the fireworks of the world. There are quite a lot of male and female artists in the industry, who are above the world but not dusty. Netizens can name a bunch of them, but there has never been a fairy among them. Even netizens have not misunderstood him.

Noticing Cai Cai's distraction, Xianjun didn't say anything. He greeted the others and asked Cai Cai to follow him to the special seats on the right to meet people. The people sitting at the special seats are all top figures in the entertainment industry. Some of them are even written into history. It’s the entertainment industry, not the entertainment industry.

Cai Cai walked beside Xianjun, as if stepping on cotton, very timid. But he didn't dare to resist even a word.

"Don't be nervous, they are just curious, and they really want to get to know you. Just say whatever you want, don't be formal. Just agree to whatever you are asked to do, and don't discount it."

"." Cai Cai became more nervous, but she no longer felt like meeting the devil. She wants to meet people.

There are a total of thirteen special guests from Oriental Star this year, including Xianjun. There are more than in previous years, which were only about five or six. After all, some of them are really quite old. Unless they are officially invited, even Oriental Star cannot invite others.

When Cai Cai got closer, she found that she knew six of the twelve people. Four of them are writers, screenwriters, and actors, and two are actors who switched careers from opera, and are idols of Cai Jiaoyang and Feng Shilan. Their music and films are often played at home. I don’t know the rest, and none of them look familiar. Then at a glance, they all have silver hair or no hair. Anyway, there is no one with black hair. The average age is obviously upwards of seventy.

The last time I came to Dongfang Star, even if the Immortal Lord was there, Cai Cai's level would not be able to see these people. Now.

In a daze, a burst of heat flowed through Cai Cai's chest. This is the embodiment of people walking to higher places. The people she saw from a distance before are now right in front of her.

This makes her feel that she is one step closer to being a queen than winning an award!

"I'm coming."

"Ouyou, the little girl is so beautiful!"

"It's not like my trip was in vain."

"How does this child grow up? He is neither Chinese nor foreign."

"What are you talking about? How can you be so complimentary?"

"What's the fuss about? Let's keep talking."

"It looks even more familiar up close. Why does it look so familiar?"

"We are all mascots now, and we can't play with the children anymore."

"It would have been better if this had happened decades earlier."

"Oh, yes, yes, no need, just looking at it with greed."

"Kids, this journey has been quite smooth."

"Is it going smoothly? It's like a mountain road with 18 bends like yours!"

"Look, you're arguing with me again. I'm really annoying you!"

"You're the one who's annoying. You're the most annoying. The idea of ​​putting hardship first is out of date a long time ago, right?"

"You still have to endure the hardships you deserve."

"Stop talking, the kids will hear you later."

Cai Cai didn't know how to react. He was a little embarrassed and could only pretend not to hear.

Then I heard this group of leaders talking more and more.

"You can really read faces, it's so amazing!"

“It’s embarrassing, it’s embarrassing, hahahahaha~~~~”

"Children are so innocent."

"It's not suitable for this industry to hide things with your face, and you can't even curse people in your heart!"

"The more simple-minded you are, the more suitable you are to be an actor."

Cai Cai followed Xianjun and already walked in front of everyone. There is almost a vacuum here, no one dares to come here. Only Cai Cai was called over, and the others didn't even have the courage to come over on their own initiative. When Cai Cai walked through this journey, she really felt like she was at the top of her life, and so did everyone else.

After standing still, Cai Cai could tell that the ones she wasn't familiar with were probably the directors. I thought to myself that if I go back and search for the name, I must have seen their works.

And these leaders are also looking at Cai Cai. These people have experienced several turmoils in the entertainment industry. They have seen too much of the world and too many artists. If nothing else, there is just one Immortal Lord in front of them. But Cai Cai's brilliance is even better than that of Xianjun. Good-looking people will attract people's attention, particularly good-looking people will draw away people's soul, and particularly good-looking people will make people fascinated, as if they are not in the world.

To give a very simple example, when people see a beautiful woman, they will basically stare at her. If she is a peerless beauty, they will definitely follow her, unconsciously and unconsciously.

Cai Cai is the kind who will definitely be followed by others, and will not feel any pain if she falls into a ditch.

Descriptions of Cai Cai’s appearance are everywhere on the internet. But when she stood in front of him, it really felt like her breathing was polluting the air. How could it be so beautiful?

Also, she has obviously grown up a lot more than in the movies and photos. But in fact, it can be seen that Cai Cai's temperament has not changed. She is calm and quiet, innocent and firm. She seems to have always been pure and innocent, and also seems to have always been mature and stable. There is no contradiction. When blended together, she is beautiful and unique. Her changes can only be seen from her appearance as she grows up.

This is a child with an extremely strong heart.

"Kid, you look very familiar to me. Whose family do you belong to? Is Cai Cai your real name?" An old man who was inferred by Cai Cai as the director was the first to speak.

Cai Cai quickly replied, "Not my real name. My real name is Cai Guinian, and my mother is Cai Jinhui, a businessman in Hong Kong." If you talk about Jingang Rongtang Group, it sounds like a bit of a stretch, but there is no need. If you look familiar to her, you must have met her family.

Xianjun glanced at Cai Cai and said to the director, "Mr. Bian, didn't you work in Hong Kong City in your early years?"

Bian Lao, also known as Bian Yi, was born in the martial arts industry in Hong Kong in his early years. He worked as a stunt double and a martial arts actor. Later, he changed his career to a director. After that, he went abroad to develop, and later settled down in the imperial capital to start a career. He pioneered a shooting technique for martial arts films that allowed the audience to see martial arts moves more clearly. Later, the shooting technology was updated, and he kept up with the advancement of technology, and created a shooting technique that allowed the audience to be between two people facing each other. It can be said that it rescued the lonely martial arts film, and also gave the martial arts film a new life and even a continuation around the world.

But the decline of martial arts films is a choice of the times, and no one can do anything about it. But because of directors like Bian Yi who have not given up on martial arts themes, martial arts themes still have a certain market, and they can still produce hit movies from time to time. Some young artists are proud to have participated in martial arts-themed projects, and their resumes and fans boast about it. It is more valuable than having participated in a drama performance. If the project explodes, it is not a problem to be promoted directly.

Therefore, martial arts-themed projects are the kind that no one wants to participate in, but as long as the project explodes, they will be directly promoted to the front line and can win awards. There are still many young artists who are willing to take a gamble, so there are many projects for martial arts films, but very few of them can be screened. But even if it's a slim possibility, it's still worth the artist's effort.

And Bian Yi is at the Yiyantang level of martial arts projects. If he says that a film is good, that film will definitely be a hit. If he says that an artist performs well, that artist will definitely be on the front lines. Cai Cai didn't know him, mainly because she had never thought about filming martial arts themes. My family won't let me, and my company won't let me either. She didn't dare to push herself hard, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Another reason is that Bian Yi does not have a fixed style when making films. Cai Cai sometimes looks for all the films of a certain style to watch. Many directors have their own fixed personal style, so she will pay attention to it at this time. Who is the director? She might have seen Bian Yi, but because he didn't have a strong personal style, Cai Cai had no chance of getting to know him as a person.

Xianjun thought of this and looked at the other leading directors. Cai Cai must not have known them either, because they were all directors with no obvious personal style.

It seems that this type of director is inferior to those with a distinctive and strong personal style, but in fact, it is not. Both sides have their own merits and cannot be compared together, because many times the emphasis is different. To put it simply, directors with a distinctive personal style tell stories to the audience from their own perspective and perspective, while directors without personal style tell stories to the audience from the perspective and thinking of the audience. No one is better. As long as the story is told well, he is a good director.

When Xianjun heard that these people wanted to see Cai Cai, his original plan was to use them to completely bring Cai Cai back to the domestic entertainment circle, or the upper class circle. Although the current entertainment industry is not as polarized as it was many years ago, the upper and lower levels are polarized. The actors and actresses at the top level can't get enough jobs to make money, while the actors and practitioners at the bottom have no job opportunities and no money to make. This situation has been changed. The laws and industry professional standards are becoming more and more complete, but there are still many circles that are closed and cannot be squeezed in.

For example, the one-person group where the leaders are located. The so-called one-man group is also a joking name among netizens, but insiders thought it was quite accurate, so they used it. To put it bluntly, a one-person team means one person forms the team and one person forms the project. In other words, one person can take on a project. A one-person group has no capital and is composed of practitioners, actors, directors, and screenwriters, basically these three types. He is also a one-man team, Cai Cai is not.

Outsiders think Cai Cai is, but everyone inside the circle knows that she is not. One reason is that she has not grown up, and the other reason is that her ability to carry out projects is not enough.

The Immortal Lord either wants to encourage the young people, or is worried that after Cai Cai gets the golden mask, the situation in the country will not be able to open up again.

Many years ago, domestic artists were keen to go abroad to work and win awards. Whether it was the artists themselves or the projects, they were all keen to go to foreign countries to chant scriptures. I thought that when I came back, I would be treated like a hero, but no matter how much the navy media boasted, the audience didn't buy it. The industry has done a lot of market analysis, taking into account everything from the film to the actors to the script concept and even the soundtrack and costumes, but it always feels that it is not accurate enough. Later, I did a lot of online and offline questionnaires, and the results I got were just three words, I don’t want to read them.

No excuses.

When I asked why I didn’t want to watch it, I replied that all the movies praised by foreign countries were not about the country.

It makes irrefutable sense.

In the early years, it was true that a large number of domestic films that won awards abroad either exposed life in backward areas of the country or described the current situation of poor people, and there were also many crime themes. Almost all negative content. Most of them have been banned in China. No matter how much the film critics and media praise it, the audience won't buy it even if they think it's good.

After all, there are a lot of designs in film and television creation, and no matter how many designs there are, they can't be better than real life. The people in pain are real people in life, not people imagined by the director. Even if the director has restored it very well, the real pain is always far greater than the pain in the performance. People who are struggling in pain will find the performance ridiculous, or feel ridiculed or insulted, so they have no choice but to stop watching it out of unnecessary anger and sadness.

[Don’t I know what kind of life I’m living? What do you mean? 】

【Warning function? Warning whom? What's the warning? 】

[Do you feel proud to use the suffering of the people at the bottom to achieve your own glory? 】

[I can watch this kind of movie, but I can’t just watch this kind of movie]

There was a lot of discussion at first, but then there was no discussion at all. At this time, practitioners in the industry realized that with the prosperity of the motherland, the audience's sense of honor for the country was getting higher and higher. It’s not that you can’t watch it, but it can’t all be of this type. There were martial arts themes earlier. How did they develop? This is the only theme left.

Later, as the new generation of practitioners in the entertainment industry worked hard to innovate and make changes, relying on the strength and prosperity of the motherland, they went from playing by themselves to playing outside, then to playing in other people's homes, and then to playing in other people's homes. Play at home. This journey has been difficult, but also glorious.

But under the glory, it is difficult for monks who go out to come back to chant sutras. Regardless of whether you have a position or not, if the circle recognizes you, the audience will also recognize you. If the audience recognizes you, you will have to join the circle.

The Immortal Lord didn't know if Cai Cai could go up, but what he had to do was to make sure that Cai Cai went up without fail.

Now it is possible that Bian Yi knows the elders of Cai Cai's family, so this matter may be even more foolproof. However, if there is discord among the elders

Therefore, Xianjun opened his mouth and pointed out that Bian Yi developed in the port city in his early years. Considering Bian Yi's age, he was definitely in the last century. It is definitely not the golden age of Hong Kong City, but it should be a time when it is not too lonely, otherwise it will not be able to develop.

Cai Cai understood. So he didn't say anything more and just waited for Bian Yi to speak.

Bian Yi didn't notice Xianjun's thoughts at all, and still stared at Cai Cai blankly, Gang City, Cai Jinhui

"Is there an elder in your ancestor named Cai Chunyu?"

Cai Cai's face turned slightly cold, Cai Chunyu was no longer there. Not for many years. The point is, in her perception, Cai Chunyu is the biological mother of her biological mother, Cai Xin. Mom and others said that Cai Chunyu died in childbirth, and there was no record of her being married in the family tree. The family didn't seem to know who the biological father of the two dead children was. Grandma and mother should know, but they didn't mention it.

Looking at Bian Yi carefully, Cai Cai guessed wildly, could this person who was so excited be the biological father? But if you just look at the face, you really can’t tell, because in my memory Cai Xin’s mother and Cai Jinhui’s mother look quite similar, and they both look like typical Cai family members. Bian Yi is old, and his facial features no longer resemble those of his younger descendants. So, even if he was the biological father, Cai Cai would not be able to talk to him about family matters on this occasion, and she had no position. This kind of thing should be handled by the elders of the family.

Bian Yi didn't know that her eyesight was bad, but she really didn't see Cai Cai's cold face, and continued to say, "Judging from the age, he should be your ancestor. I know the situation in your family, and there must be others who have not been made public. Is it true that Cai Chunyu will no longer show up? "

Cai Cai wanted to speak, but Xianjun stopped him. Others could see that Cai Cai was not too happy, and they all tried to smooth things over, "You are a young kid, what do you know? You see, you are the same, you are older, tell me something that kids know." The dozen or so people present have all worked in Hong Kong City. , Besides, Cai Jinhui is not an unknown person. There are people reported in various news. They are old, not stupid. There are many rich and famous artists in the industry, and Cai Cai is just one of them. If she doesn't want to say she's unhappy, there's no need to ask.

Moreover, they were originally very curious about Cai Cai and really wanted to talk to Cai Cai. After all, this was the child that Jarvis and Fang Xiaoning loved. But Cai Cai is a rich person, and she is still so young. She never knows when she will quit the industry and go home. Even if she can be a serious actress, rich artists are not the first choice in the industry. Very few rich artists are real. Those who regard acting as their lifelong career.
