Entertainment: I treat you as my sister, but you want to pick on me?

Chapter 386

In the study room, Jiang Yan was sitting on a soft and comfortable sofa, with Norris' granddaughter sitting on her lap.

The film plays, beginning like the cut, with a brief introduction to the members of the Italian family, before focusing on the brothers Orr and Oak.

Elder brother Auer is gentle, kind and generous. He majors in medicine and dreams of traveling around the world. He is a medical student with excellent grades.

On the contrary, his younger brother Oak is majoring in literature, has a bad temper, is impulsive, upright, and treats all things with a fair and just attitude.

Facing the final examiner, his younger brother Oak still admires his favorite radical poet, quarreled with the teacher, and finally even stopped the exam to protest.

The elder brother passed the exam successfully and was highly appreciated by the examiner.

The character of the two determines the ultimate fate.

Oak chose to do part-time work in a mental hospital to fill his work-study time. She met an autistic girl named Anne.

After communicating, Oak found that although Anne was taciturn, she was not mentally ill, and she had many scars on her neck.

So Oak took a picture and found his elder brother Al, who was studying medicine. Al was shocked, which was the trace of the strictly prohibited electric shock therapy.

The two brothers decided to take Anne out of her misery and leave the mental hospital to find her family.

Who knew that Annie's father had remarried, and Annie was a burden to him, so he refused to adopt her.

On the way back, two policemen interrogated her identity, and Anne, who had no proof, was found and forcibly taken away.

The two brothers did not dare to stop them. Taking Annie away was an illegal act.

Fate changed at this time, the younger brother decided to follow Annie's train, but the older brother did not follow.

When the movie played to this point, Jiang Yan noticed something was wrong.

Compared with the edited version, the full version has one more plot, that is the great flood in Florence!

The Florence flood was the largest disaster in modern Italy, drowning 113 people, injuring more than a thousand, and destroying or washing away countless priceless art treasures.

This plot makes the movie more complete, the characters are fuller, and it also adds a strong historical atmosphere.

The most prominent style of director Norris is his movie characters, which are not violent and impulsive, very plain, and good at capturing the delicate love between men and women.

This is also the reason why "Life is Like a Drama" failed at the box office. The four-hour romance between a man and a woman was not interesting even if it was filmed delicately.

But add this piece of modern Italian history, and the viewing experience immediately changes.

Xia Wanqing looked surprised.

Jiang Yan guessed it right!
This movie is not as bad as imagined, the edited version is very different from the full version, if the full version is released in theaters, will it still end like this?
At this time, Xia Wanqing became very interested in "Life is Like a Play", so she withdrew her contemptuous attitude, and sat up straight, looking at the screen without blinking.

"Grandpa, is this real?" Norris' granddaughter watches as the film shows people collapsing in despair as floods flood and then work together to rebuild their devastated homes.

"Son, this is the history of our country."

Norris said that he witnessed the whole process of the Florence flood.

And this movie is about the rise and fall of an Italian family, witnessing the glory and downturn of modern Italian modern history.

Time goes by bit by bit, accompanied by two brothers Auer and Oak, because of different personalities lead to different fates.

Sicilians against the Mafia; blue-collar workers in Turin; student movement and attacks in Milan; Italian revival
Before he knew it, the movie ended, and Jiang Yan let out a long sigh of relief.

Awesome!
Jiang Yan thought of Ding Heshuo's catchphrase.

Norris deserves to be called a ghost director. "Life is a Play" uses the different personalities of the two brothers Orok, leading to different endings throughout the film, presenting major events in modern Italian history from the perspective of ordinary people.

"Are you going to the toilet?" Jiang Yan turned to look at Xia Wanqing who was sitting next to him, pointing out something.

Xia Wanqing nodded and left in a hurry.

"Second boss, Jiang Yan guessed right, this movie does have its unique features."

Xia Wanqing called Xi Wenfu.

"sure?"

Xi Wenfu's tone was surprised.

"Sure, the full version of "Life is a Play" and the edited version are simply two different movies!"

"I'll call you later."

Xi Wenfu said hesitantly, not making up his mind to take a gamble.

"Why don't you go to sleep in the middle of the night?" Xi Wenfu's wife asked sleepily.

"I'm going to talk to my eldest brother and third child."

"Can't we talk about it tomorrow? If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, don't disturb the eldest brother and the third child."

"We must talk now!"

Xi Wenfu hurried downstairs in his nightgown.

The orange light illuminated the living room, and Xi Wenfu looked at the sleepy Xi Ronghua and Xi Yinian.

"Second brother, what are you calling me and eldest brother to do so late?" Xi Yi Nian yawned.

Xi Ronghua closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for Xi Wenfu to explain the reason.

"Brother, the third child doesn't know, you should know "Life is Like a Play"." Xi Wenfu told what Xia Wanqing reported.

Xi Ronghua instantly felt relieved.

"So, you want to gamble by buying the copyright of "Life is Like a Play"?"

"That's right, take a gamble. Overseas we own Emperor Cinemas, and we are shareholders of Dadi Cinemas in China. There is no need to worry about and consider the affairs of the cinemas. If the movie is released again and becomes a big hit."

Xi Wenfu clenched his fists and his eyes were full of greed.

"You are the smartest of the three of us, no matter what you do, I will support you!" Without any hesitation, Xi Ronghua asked Xi Wenfu to do it!
"Stay for a meal."

At the entrance of the villa, Norris invited.

Jiang Yan's arrival put him in a good mood today. When watching "Life is Like a Drama", Jiang Yan would often say some professional words about acting skills and shooting techniques.

Especially in acting, Jiang Yan has a lot of experience.

Director and actor are closely related, and Norris was happy to chat with the young man.

Although his son and daughter are very filial and try their best to make him happy, they have different occupations, they don't know anything about the industry of directors, and they don't have any common topics.

"Director Norris, we will meet again."

Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"That's right, let's see you at the Venice International Film Festival." Norris did not continue to persuade him to stay.

The setting sun dyed the sky red, and Jiang Yan realized that it was already evening.

However, when watching the full version of "Life is Like a Play", Jiang Yan did not feel the passage of time at all.

Watching the edited version, Jiang Yan's seconds felt like years, just because the edited version did not add major events in modern history.

"Mr. Jiang Yan, you are smarter than smart people."

Xia Wanqing said.

"Aren't you the same?" Jiang Yan asked back.

At this time, Xi Wenfu should know that "Life is Like a Play" is not a bad movie, and it depends on who is more determined to take a gamble!
