This star is too fierce

Chapter 377, Alcohol Soothes Thousands of Sorrows

In the yard, the flowers are blooming like a piece of brocade, and the colors are colorful.

In the pavilion, Jiang Wen's face was full of loneliness, while pouring wine, he sighed: "Second brother, do you know that the three words 'incomprehensible' are very bad for directors in China. Evaluation, if you make the audience unable to understand, you will fail."

Lu Bu will not give up drinking today. At this time, comforting words are useless, only "alcohol soothes thousands of worries": "It's no big deal, an artist with advanced thinking is lonely after all."

The reason why Jiang Wen's films are popular is because of his masculinity and allegorical deconstruction of history and reality, as well as the delicate artistic rendering atmosphere and a large number of metaphorical montages.

But "The Sun Also Rises" puts too much emphasis on the expression of his own subjective feelings, which is too obscure. In addition, the order of the four parts is reversed, and the background spans multiple eras, resulting in a break in the narrative thread of the plot, which seems incredible and illogical .

Moreover, it is adapted from Ye Min's short story "Velvet". The background of the story is from 1958 to 1976. People who are old know that these two years are very sensitive politically, which makes the final version have many plots. is deleted.

If the normal structure of prologue, beginning, development, climax, and ending is followed, the audience may not be confused.

However, ginger grain does not.

Maybe this movie is the first movie he came back to shoot after "The Devil Is Coming" was banned for five years. The anger in his heart was like phlegm stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out, so he borrowed "The Sun Is Also Usual" Rising" let the public see his true heart—I, Jiang Wen, am still that arrogant lunatic!

Unexpectedly, the pace is too fast, ignoring that movies are essentially a highly subjective activity, and resonance must be combined with personal deja vu experiences.

Almost everyone who has watched it called it "the most mysterious movie I have ever seen", and was moved by its gorgeous shots, strong emotions, full colors and jumping details. No one It is said that this is a bad movie, but it just "doesn't understand".

Even the leading actors have their own opinions. Jiang Wen said "this is an art film", Xia Yu said "this is an action film", Liang Jiahui said "this is an erotic film", Zhou Yun said "this is an action film". It’s a magical movie.” Chen Chong said, “This is a Chinese version of Roman Holiday.” Although it was a joke, it shows that the theme of this movie is too scattered.

In fact, in Lu Bu's view, "understanding or not understanding" is not the key to every movie, but "experience" is, and "The Sun Also Rises" lacks the fun and excitement of watching.

Unfortunately, there is no "I knew it earlier", and there is no "if".

Jiang Wen drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, with a strong apology in his eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, I made you lose money and favor again."

Lu Bu smiled lightly and said, "It's a small matter."

It's only 1000 million, and if you lose, you lose.

Film investment itself has risks.

Besides, there is no one hundred percent money-making thing in this world.

Even if you keep your money in the bank and earn interest, it may be lost by "this is an employee's personal behavior".

As for favors, it was the other 1100 million, which he had chatted with Zhou Yi and Yang Huangying.

However, at that time he made it clear that ""The Sun Also Rises" is an art film, not a commercial film, and it may not make money.".

Although Zhou Yi and Yang Huangying are not the same kind of people, they have the same appreciation for him. They both said, "It's okay, I am a person who cares about face, and I don't care about money.".

He also called yesterday, and the two of them didn't have the slightest intention of blaming them. They even said, "If you have any projects in the future, don't be afraid to call me. I can rest assured that you can do things."

Jiang Wen continued to pour the wine, and said sincerely: "Second brother, all the words are in the wine."

Not long after that, three bottles of Moutai went down, although it was a small bottle, the degree was not low.

Lu Bu stopped him, and said with a smile: "It's too boring just for the two of us to drink, and you can't drink with me for long, so I'll call a few more people over, and then I'll make some side dishes, chat slowly, and drink slowly." .”

How could Jiang Wen not understand his intention, nodded and said: "I listen to you."

Lu Bu took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Guorong, who went to see the courtyard with the agency, and Xu Wei, who went to the studio building to follow up on the production of Zhang Liangying's new album, and asked Liu Liang to buy some snacks.

Of course, he did this because he was worried that Jiang Wen's drinking would hurt his body, and secondly, he was worried that Jiang Wen would fall into depression.

Zhang Guorong and Xu Weilai, chatting together can distract him from his depression.

It stands to reason that Jiang Wen is usually carefree, straightforward, and even a little irritable, which is not compatible with the word "depression", but depression does not depend on your personality.

Moreover, he was successful in his youth and suffered a blow in his middle age.

At the age of 21, 9 months after graduating from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama, he was invited by director Chen Jialin to play Puyi in the movie "The Last Empress", and he became famous overnight and became a household name.

On 23, he was favored by the director Xie Jin, and co-starred in the movie "Furong Town" with the popular actress Liu Xiaoqing. Because of the rare courage of moral criticism and historical criticism in this movie, it was praised as "a great contribution to the history of new Chinese film". Landmark work".

At the age of 24, he starred in "Red Sorghum" directed by Zhang Yimou, and conquered the audience and judges with his hormonal acting skills. This film won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival in one fell swoop. altar to see.

At the age of 31, the director's first film "Sunny Day" was released. This film was named No.1 in the "Top Ten Best Movies in the World" by the American "Time Magazine".

Five years later, in 2000, he was 37 years old. Although the director's second work "The Devil Is Coming" won the Jury Prize at the 53rd Cannes International Film Festival, the film was banned that year, and he was released in the second year. banned.

Another five years later, in 2006, at the age of 42, he directed the third work "The Sun Also Rises" which failed in the awards, failed at the box office, and failed to stage "The Return of the King".

Therefore, in a situation like Jiang Wen, it is very likely to suffer from depression.

Soon, Liu Liang arrived first and bought stewed, roasted duck, fried peanuts and other appetizers.

Later, Zhang Guorong and Xu Wei arrived.

The wine was drunk from morning to night, and the wine and dishes were continued several times, and the number of people was increasing.

And Jiang Wen's mood has improved a lot, at least she doesn't seem to be showing signs of depression.

In the end, Lu Bu was left standing alone, and the rest all got down.

"You smell heavily of alcohol, but why don't you look drunk at all?" Feihong Yu was very curious about this.

"The physique is different." Lu Bu could only explain in this way.

"Then, how much do you drink before you get drunk?" Yu Feihong asked.

"In the past, eight or nine altars, as for now, I haven't tried it." Lu Bu replied.

"People quit drinking because they can't drink enough, but you are the opposite." Feihong Yu laughed.

"It's not for you." Lu Bu blurted out.

"Ah?" Yu Feihong was surprised, and suddenly understood, a blush appeared on his face, and he said angrily, "You still blame us, who told you to be so 'fraternal'!"

"Madam is scolding." Lu Bu grinned.

"Don't make trouble." Yu Feihong slapped his mischievous hand away.

"I can't help it, I can't help it." The movements of Lu Bu's hands did not stop.

"Oh!" Feihong Yu glared at him, and said, "I'll share a room with Yuanyuan, you should go to bed early, by the way, don't come over."

Lu Bu watched her leaving back.

Is it really telling him not to go there?
Or are you hinting to let him pass?
------

------

Early the next morning, Jiang Wen and the others were so drunk that they didn't get up.

Lu Bu didn't bother Yu Feihong and the others. After the morning exercise, he took his backpack and drove away from the small courtyard.

The first destination is Liu Yifei's home.

"Brother Xiaoyao, have you had breakfast? Do you want me to eat it for you?" Liu Yifei said enthusiastically.

"I went out after eating, and you are alone at home?" Lu Bu asked casually.

"My mom hasn't woken up yet." Liu Yifei replied.

"Won't she go with you?" Lu Bu asked again.

"I came back after recording the show, it's only half a day, and besides you are here, my mother is very relieved." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go," Lu Bu said.

Go downstairs and get in the car.

Liu Yifei saw that the route was not going to the airport, so he reminded: "Brother Xiaoyao, you are going the wrong way."

Lu Bu explained: "There is one more person to pick up."

Liu Yifei asked, "Who is it?"

Lu Bu replied: "An actor in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is going to record "Happy Camp" too."

Liu Yifei "oh" for a moment, then changed the subject, and said, "The MV we shot has already been made, and I'll send it to you when I get the CD."

Lu Bu asked, "Have you set a date for the release of your new album?"

Liu Yifei replied: "The company said it was Mid-Autumn Festival or National Day, but the exact time has not been determined yet."

The car drove to the entrance of a high-end residential area, and a beautiful girl with a suitcase was standing on the side of the road. When she saw Lu Bu getting out of the car, she immediately greeted her with a smile, and said, "Second brother!"

The girl is none other than Liu Shishi, who lives in Yanjing.

Lu Bu helped her put her luggage and asked at the same time, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Liu Shishi shook his head and said, "No, I just came downstairs for less than 10 minutes."

Lu Bu closed the trunk, opened the door of the back seat for her, and said, "Get in the car."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car became weird.

Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi met for the first time.

But they all know each other.

Liu Yifei has learned about the casting of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Liu Shishi has watched "Tian Long Ba Bu" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

Both were born in 1987, both are beautiful, and the most important thing is that they both like Lu Bu.

Therefore, the little girl's little mind was twisted.

Lu Bu found out, but pretended not to see it.

Along the way, we talked a lot.

He also fell silent.

Until we arrived at the hotel in Changsha, the weird atmosphere changed.

Because Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi have a good friend in common, Tong Yaya who starred in Xianjian 1 and Xianjian 3.

"Second brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Shu Chang ran over to say hello as soon as he learned that Lu Bu had arrived at the hotel.

"Have you? Didn't you just see it at Brother Xu and Brother's concert last year?" Lu Bu laughed.

"It's almost a year, it's not long enough." Shu Chang pouted.

"I can't help it, I'm too busy." This is the "busy word formula" that Lu Bu is best at.

Shu Chang played the role of Princess Jianning in Zhang Ji's Chinese version of "The Deer and Ding Tale".

Interestingly, she was also born in 1987.

Compared with Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi, she made her debut earlier. In 1992, at the age of 5, she participated in the first TV series "My Story" and set foot in the film and television industry.

However, after debuting for many years, he has become a very popular insulator.

According to Yilu Bu's analysis, there are two reasons.

One is that her appearance is limited. Although Shu Chang's appearance is considered attractive, she can only be said to be mediocre in the entertainment circle full of beauties. In addition, her height is not dominant. She has to rely on her appearance to gain a firm foothold in the circle. Heels are hard.

The second is that Shu Chang did not come from a major, and did not form her own tight circle of resources. In fact, this is particularly prominent, because during the rising period of her career, she did not choose to major in acting, but took the English major. As an insider, the importance of resources is self-evident. Choosing an English major is equivalent to skipping a career, which is very unfavorable to her both from a professional perspective and a resource perspective.

She actually gave Lu Bu a pretty good impression, but she could be a little bit of a push.

However, the problem is that Lu Bu has too many people to take care of, unless he jumps to the Raptor Studio.

Movies and TV dramas only invest in a few movies every year, and there are no extra roles to be distributed to outsiders.

During dinner at night, people from "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "The Deer and Ding Tale" got together.

Lu Bu and Zhang Jizhong have a good relationship.

The representatives from "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" are Hu Jin, Tong Yaya, Liu Shishi, Tang Tang, Yuan Hong and Huo Jianhua.

The representatives from "The Deer and Ding Tale" are Huang Xiaoming, Liu Yifei, Zhong Hanliang, Shu Chang, Liu Yun and Li Feier.

This will be the issue with the most handsome men and beautiful women since the birth of "Happy Camp".

However, although there are many handsome guys, in terms of appearance and temperament, there is only one who is unique, and that is Lu Bu.

No way, his charm cannot be learned by others.

"I read the news, you have received Gao Xixi's "Legend of Chu and Han", when will you turn it on?" Zhang Jizhong asked.

"Probably around National Day." Lu Bu replied.

"How long will it take?" Zhang Jizhong asked again.

"It will take more than half a year." Lu Bu estimated.

"It's okay, I can catch up." Zhang Jizhong said with a smile.

"What can you catch up with?" Lu Bu asked puzzled.

"I'm planning the "New Three Kingdoms", and you must play the role of [Lu Bu]." Zhang Jizhong explained.

Hearing this, Liu Yifei and others showed expectant expressions.

Like the fans, the roles they most want to see him play are [Xiang Yu] and [Lu Bu].

Now it's all right, two consecutive performances.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows lightly, and said, "Didn't you say you were going to shoot Journey to the West last time?"

Zhang Jizhong was originally the director of the production of the CCTV version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Is it necessary to remake it?

Zhang Jizhong said with a faint smile: "You don't want to play Monkey King, so I put "Journey to the West" in the back row."

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming, Zhong Hanliang and the others were all envious. This kind of big role was something they could only meet and never ask for.

Lu Bu really can't play "monkey", so as not to be scolded, he threw out a big news instead: "Actually, I am also planning a Three Kingdoms theme, but it's not a TV series, but a movie."
