my gilded age

Chapter 340: "Lust and Caution" I, Bai Shiqiu, have three characters

On November 11, the world premiere of "Lust, Caution" was held at the Oriental Grand Theater.

This movie was originally a big production, but now it's taking on a world-beating attitude.

Hong Kong funding, Shanghai Film Cooperation, big directors coming to shoot, international movie stars joining, Zhang Zhiyi, Chao Wei, such a lineup of absolute blockbusters exists.

The publicity mainly focuses on Zhang Zhiyi, because this drama has already been rumored to have large-scale shots. So, the international star Zhang Zhiyi will star in it. This is a natural gimmick, and the limelight will naturally overshadow the North Korean drama. great.

It premieres today. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a huge crowd of people outside the Oriental Grand Theater. There are also many media reporters and celebrities in the industry, especially since there are many well-known figures in this drama.

Li Hong is not a minor character, nor is Xiao Hao. As for He Saifei and Yuan Li, they are... they also have roles.

Even the movie channel came and wanted to do a live broadcast, and Jingwei girl took a microphone and talked everywhere.

Scene after scene, as soon as it comes out, it is prosperous and lively.

"Wow! Look, Bai Shiqiu is here!"

"The woman around Bai Shiqiu has changed again!"

"This time, this time it's Tang Wei!"

During the red carpet stage, Bai Shiqiu, as a guest, of course had to go out first, and he had told Jiang Zhiqiang before that he would bring someone with him, and that was Tang Wei.

Today's Bai Shiqiu's clothes are still average, but without loss of etiquette, but Tang Wei is different. Tang Wei seems to be doing it on purpose today, wearing a high-grade silk cheongsam, royal blue, with small flowers, Her hair was permed again and her face was heavily made-up, giving her a retro look.

In the ten-mile foreign market back then, she would be a proper big star and beauty.

But today, especially on such an occasion, the topic suddenly came up.

"Ms. Tang Wei, there seems to be rumors that you were once a favorite when casting for "Lust, Caution"."

"Yes! I've heard of it too."

The reporters are very well-informed and have good memories. Even if they can't remember, they will review it for today's premiere, so these questions will naturally be asked.

When Tang Wei heard this, he said with some embarrassment: "Don't talk about the big hits. I participated in the casting, but someone persuaded me to come back."

When he said this, he even glanced at Bai Shiqiu. This made Bai Shiqiu fly away, and he was deceived in his heart.

When the reporters heard this, they became energetic.

"Who? Who the hell?"

"Yes, yes! Miss Tang Wei, can you tell me?"

Everyone was a little excited and wanted to complain for Tang Wei.

"Haha... that person, he is a fool, and I have scolded him many times." Tang Wei answered the question very cleverly, and also expressed his subtle emotions towards the character of Wang Jiazhi.

It's amazing, even Bai Shiqiu secretly gave a thumbs up on one side, but it seems that he is the guy who was scolded...

Have you ever been scolded?
After such a question and answer, of course people became more concerned about Tang Wei's dress today.

"Miss Tang Wei, you are dressed like this today..."

"Of course this is to cater to today's atmosphere."

"Oh, that's right, you really have a lot of heart, but will you hit your shirt like this?"

"This shouldn't happen, but I really haven't communicated with Senior Sister Zhang Zhiyi before."

Tang Wei here is wearing a cheongsam. On the poster of "Lust, Caution", Zhang Zhiyi's cheongsam look also received a lot of praise.

Do the two of you want to compare?

In particular, although the two are senior sisters, the age gap between them is not that big, but the fame gap is too far.

Not long after, the protagonist arrived.

"Wow!"

"Sure enough, it's also a cheongsam!"

"The color is different, the color is different!"

The reporters immediately discovered that Zhang Zhiyi was also wearing a cheongsam, a gorgeous green silk cheongsam with birds embroidered on it.

As soon as Zhang Zhiyi saw Bai Shiqiu and Tang Wei, her expression changed, and a fire rose from the bottom of her heart.

Originally he was accompanying Chao Wei, but now he walked over straight and gracefully.

"Junior brother and sister, you are here this time. I am not welcoming you at a distance, right?"

There was something in these words, but Bai Shiqiu and Tang Wei immediately waved their hands.

"Senior Sister Zhang, we are here specifically to congratulate you."

"Yes, senior sister, you don't know, I have read the original novel several times."

"..." Facing these two guys, Zhang Zhiyi's chest heaved, but after all, she was a veteran. She smiled and played with Tang Wei's cheongsam, "Oh, my junior sister, your frame is too big. The cheongsam on you is like a rag curtain on the horse."

This is what it says...

Everyone present was suffocated. Can Tang Weina endure it?
"Oh, Senior Sister, you are absolutely right. I am indeed not suitable for wearing a cheongsam, but Senior Sister, you are so petite and frail that you can't seem to wear the beauty of a cheongsam. Looking at it, it reminds me of a poem, What's it called? Oh, by the way, it's flying down three thousand feet..."

Flying down three thousand feet?
This means that in front of Zhang Zhiyi, it is extremely smooth.

Bai Shiqiu seemed to be trying to smooth things over and said, "Senior sister, what Tang Wei is talking about is that the material of your cheongsam is very smooth."

"..." Everyone turned their attention to Bai Shiqiu again, Tang Wei almost didn't laugh, but Zhang Zhiyi really wanted to curse, so talk too much!
"Okay! Well said!" But Zhang Zhiyi is Zhang Zhiyi, he is very powerful, and he replied, "My young actor, the girls around you are really busy, but it's okay, you are a little Erpu, if you just eat the grass on the edge of your nest, the area of ​​damage will be considered small."

"..." The reporters were choked again.

There had been rumors about Bai Shiqiu's relationship before, but Zhang Zhiyi just said this, and he caught it so accurately.

Bai Shiqiu simply smiled and added casually, "Of course it's not as good as senior sister's international style."

International style?What this means...

"Ahhhh..." Someone was about to yell, Bai Shiqiu is a quiet and chubby guy, but he is also very accurate in his grasp, cleverly alluding to Zhang Zhiyi's foreigner boyfriend.

This made Zhang Zhiyi so angry that he couldn't help but curse.

Fortunately, there were other people pulling him aside. Chao Wei was on the side, smiling like an experienced driver, and Jiang Zhiqiang came over.

"Oh, Brother Bai, long time no see, haha..." This big guy came out and smiled, which made people angry.

At this time, Bai Shiqiu hugged Zhang Zhiyi and said casually, "I'm sorry, senior sister, the real master is here."

These words have many meanings. On the one hand, they are saying sorry to Zhang Zhiyi, and on the other hand, they mean that what happened just now is over, and now the real opponent is coming.

As for whether Zhang Zhiyi could understand it, Lao Bai didn't know.

Next, Jiang Zhiqiang exchanged a few words with Bai Shiqiu, and then talked about something, "Brother Bai, you definitely have a unique vision for movies. The international evaluation of our "Lust Caution" They are all very high, after reading it, I also hope that my brother will share his views, I really want to hear my brother."

The meaning of this sentence is clear, and Bai Shiqiu also understands it very well, "Okay, definitely."

So-called, let Bai Shiqiu make the evaluation. It is very clear that the international community has unanimously praised this "Lust, Caution", so what can you, Bai Shiqiu, say?
To say something unpleasant?
You, Bai Shiqiu, are arrogant and domineering.

But if it was agreed, wouldn't Bai Shiqiu become their stepping stone?
What a wonderful move.

Then, Bai Shiqiu was introduced to several people, Chao Wei, Li An, and Li An's partner, a middle-aged white man named James.Soon, the movie started, and naturally there were many insiders watching the movie. Many domestic film critics, whether they were commercial or independent, came as many as they could. After all, the Oriental Grand Theater is very good at pretending. There are 1800 seats.

Lu Fu and Jiang Xiaoyu were naturally among them, and they couldn't let go of such an opportunity to watch a good movie for free. Moreover, Jiang Xiaoyu also said, when we arrive in the capital, we have to treat Lu Fu to you.

Bai Shiqiu and Tang Wei naturally sat together, and both of them performed their roles as fans very well.

Of course, Bai Shiqiu has seen the original, unabridged version of the movie "Lust, Caution"... This is normal, normal.

This movie is adapted from Zhang Ailing's short story "Lust, Caution". The short story is quite short. It mainly tells the story between Wang Jiazhi and Mr. Yi. In Bai Shiqiu's view, it is difficult to tell what kind of love story it is. , because it is very short, and one of Wang Jiazhi's characteristics is emphasized in the novel, which is "big".

To put it bluntly, the novel is a story of seduction, but Mr. Yi found out and killed this very 'big' woman, that's it.Of course, Wang Jiazhi did fall in love with Mr. Yi.

The novel gave Bai Shiqiu a feeling that it emphasized the "sexuality" aspect. As for "caution", it seemed to be said to men, don't be tempted by female lust.

The movie is very different, focusing on the person Wang Jiazhi. Naturally, most of the stories about Wang Jiazhi were written by Li An himself.

The key to the entire movie actually lies in these three large-scale scenes. These three scenes are actually completely different and greatly promote the plot.

In the first game, "abuse" is highlighted. This is actually a test. If this is okay, it explains a lot of problems.

The second scene, highlighted by 'stealing', already had a happy look.

In the third scene, the highlight was the 'struggle'. Wang Jiazhi pressed Mr. Yi with a pillow. She looked at the pistol. She had every chance to kill Mr. Yi right here, but she didn't. She cried bitterly, so she We have already lost here.

These three scenes were so important that Li An was reluctant to delete them no matter what, and he also needed to find actresses who were willing to shoot these three large-scale scenes and who were good at acting.

Zhang Zhiyi has never been Li Jian's favorite candidate because he knew that Zhang Zhiyi would not be able to contribute on such a large scale.

Sure enough, just as Bai Shiqiu expected, these three scenes were filmed by his senior sister Zhang, completely losing their original appearance.

There are three highlights in the three scenes, which is true, but because of the scale, a lot of measures were taken. Zhang Zhiyi did not show her true body and was a stand-in. In Bai Shiqiu's view, the current version of "Se·· "Precept" is bigger and more intense than "Night Banquet".

As for how he could tell that he was using a substitute, well... he could tell it anyway.

"Lao Bai, what would it look like if I took a photo?" Tang Wei suddenly asked.

"I don't know." Bai Shiqiu had no choice but to answer.

But then, Bai Shiqiu felt Tang Wei's hand and grabbed his.

Maybe I'm a little lucky.

When the movie finished playing, it naturally attracted bursts of applause.

clap clap clap...

Amid applause, the creator of "Lust, Caution" walked onto the stage, where he could have acted in a play.

"Dear guests, let's talk freely." Jiang Zhiqiang was very generous this time. The interactive session after the premiere was turned into an event similar to a movie viewing party.

Premieres usually mainly invite film critics or some insiders. Of course, it is not without fans. In many cases, some tickets will be given to fans, which may be random or other. Anyway, there are many channels.

When Jiang Zhiqiang said this, many people naturally started talking, and the Jingwei girl even came.

"I think this movie is very good. Director Li An is so artistic in handling many details!"

"Wow, this love story is really addictive..."

"Director Li Ben, can you talk about some of your feelings about making this movie?"

"I cried. I cried when the movie was finished. I cried with everyone..." When Li An was asked, he acted very sincerely.

The whole scene was very good and lively, and everyone was full of praise for the movie.

Finally, Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help but invite someone, "Brother Bai, you might as well come up. You've been sitting down there for too long."

Bai Shiqiu knew that she wanted him to say a few words.

"..." Tang Wei gave him a hug.

But Bai Shiqiu just patted her hand and walked up.

"I am very familiar with this stage. I have acted here before." Bai Shiqiu's first sentence was very good, attracting a round of applause and laughter from everyone.

"Bai Shiqiu, what do you think of this movie?" Girl Jingwei couldn't help but enter the interview mode.

"I was going to say it."

One sentence made everyone laugh again, and Jingwei girl felt embarrassed.

However, next, Bai Shiqiu said something like this.

"First of all, from the perspective of film techniques, I also agree that "Lust, Caution" is a work of art. Director Li An, you are indeed a well-known director. You are indeed very skilled, and the script is also very good. The writing is very good, and there are no logical problems. As for the acting skills, my senior sister Zhang Zhiyi, your acting is also very good, I agree very much. In addition, Chao Wei, your acting is amazing. I, Bai Shiqiu, am ashamed of myself. This Mr. Yi You are the real one, you are really awesome. As for the other characters, it’s hard to find fault with them.”

At this point, it seems that Bai Shiqiu's evaluation has set the tone, and he is going to praise it very much.

Many people think so, even Jiang Zhiqiang thinks so. He also knows that if Bai Shiqiu doesn't like it like this, what can he do?
However, Bai Shiqiu suddenly changed the topic and said: "But! I really want to ask, why do you want to make such a movie?"

This question was directed to Li An, and he naturally replied: "I like Mr. Zhang Ailing's novel very much."

Bai Shiqiu then asked: "Is there anything else?"

"This..." Li An seemed to be at a loss for words.

And Bai Shiqiu turned around and asked the audience, "I want to ask everyone, what kind of story is this movie about?...Let me sum it up, a story about a traitor's success, right? Then why do you want to make such a story? It's to warn Don't we want to learn from Wang Jiazhi in the film?" At the end, Bai Shiqiu turned to look at Li An again.

"I didn't think about this. What I wanted to shoot was love." Li An replied with a smile.

Bai Shiqiu continued: "Why just love?"

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Li An was very strange, and then said: "Bai Shiqiu, you are also very strange. Movies are movies, and what I shoot is love. Is there something wrong?"

Before Bai Shiqiu could speak, Zhang Zhiyi immediately scolded, "Old Bai! What do you mean?!"

Bai Shiqiu laughed after hearing this, "Sister, I don't mean anything, I just want to say what I want to say. This movie is really good, I can't even find any faults, but what is the meaning of this movie? Or , does she have any meaning? Why, in the era of this movie, when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, do we want to watch this fucking love instead of fighting against the Japanese devils, against the reactionaries, and against the spies? ? Moreover, because of fucking love, because of Wang Jiazhi’s kindness to Mr. Yi, a lot of revolutionaries died! What kind of fucking love is this? Senior sister, Director Li An, tell me, this movie praises what?"

These words left everyone on the stage speechless.

Bai Shiqiu then turned around and said to everyone present: "I, Bai Shiqiu, have made many films. I dare not say that all my films are very meaningful, but at least I have my own pursuits. Among the films I have made, Idiot Xu Sanduo pursues meaning. The idiot Lao San beats up bad guys. I can play a bad guy. I have eaten so much that I can't lose weight now, because I think it is meaningful! But now the meaning of "Lust, Caution" is Where? Please think about it, if an underground worker from those days, whether male or female, saw this movie today, what would he think? I believe there are only three words: Mom sells it!"

As soon as these three words appear...

"Hahaha..." instantly detonated the whole audience, but the laughter stopped immediately because everyone was thinking.

Yes, what’s the meaning?

Bai Shiqiu went on to say loudly: "Why don't we sing the praises of those heroes who have made contributions to our country and our nation and risked their lives, but here we have to do so for our country and our nation? Wang Jiazhi, the traitor who killed a large group of people because of his so-called love, regrets, admires, and praises? What is this love? All I see is selfishness!"

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the audience.

However, Bai Shiqiu is not over yet.

"We at Red Star will have a TV series to meet you next. It's called "Latent". It also tells the story of a spy war. The heroine is my classmate Tang Wei. She will also portray a character of that era in the TV series. The woman is called Cuiping, and she also has her own love story. I like that one better. When the time comes, everyone can take a look and compare Wang Jiazhi and Cuiping."

Finally, "I've finished what I said. If I offended you, please include it."
