China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 16 We are both called Wang Shu. Others are winning awards in Berlin, while you are dusting off dust at the construction site.

A movie theater in Beijing.

Chen Kun walked out with his head lowered and steps from the film "Buried Alive" echoing in his mind.

"Unique perspective, rare performance method, continuous suspense"

"One of the best movies with male protagonists in a million."

Standing outside the building, facing a gust of cold wind, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It would be great if I starred in this drama."

"If I were the lead actor, I would definitely be able to perform better."

“Going to Berlin may not just be a nomination, but a Silver Bear!”

His thoughts drifted back to 02.

That year, he starred in "Balzac and the Little Dressmaker" directed by a French director, which was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and was shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" section of the Cannes Film Festival. He also walked with Zhou Xun at Cannes. Opening ceremony red carpet.

In 03, she starred in "The Golden Family", which won CCTV's annual ratings championship.

Right now, he is in urgent need of an outstanding male protagonist in an award-winning film to help him squeeze into the big screen and establish his status.

"Buried Alive" is the most suitable one.

"It's a pity that I have no chance to meet you."

Chen Kun sighed for a while, Director Wang's eyes were not good, why didn't he come to him?
  At this moment, not only him, but also the older generation actors such as Chen Daoming and Wang Xueqi who walked into the cinema were envious.

A good script comes once in a blue moon.

In particular, it is rare to see a male protagonist script like "Buried Alive" that can showcase the actor's acting skills.

Now it's better, but Zhang Hanyu, who only played some supporting roles, took advantage of her.

Really are.
  What a waste!

Zhang Yimou walked out of the cinema with a thoughtful expression.

He was thinking about what kind of images he would use to present the film if it were him.

Suddenly, two people were sneaking around the corner of the corridor, attracting his attention.

He used the dim light to take a closer look.

Those two people.
  It seems to be Gu Changwei and Zhang Jingchu
  Director Zhang shook his head, the world is really in decline.

Then, he couldn't help but think of Gong Li.

He was 37 years old and she was 22 years old.

Like Gu Changwei, he also has a family.

I don’t know what’s wrong with those little girls, but they just like to catch men with families and hook up with them.

Gong Li could still understand, after all, he was only thirty-seven years old at the time.

He is handsome, young and talented, so it is normal for him to attract young girls.

But, who the hell is Gu Changwei?

I don’t know how Zhang Jingchu, an old man who is nearly fifty years old, can keep his mouth shut even though he has no good looks and no energy.

Could it be that little girls nowadays like this kind of tune?

Director Zhang couldn't help but think of Chen Ting.

On the other side of the capital, Liang Shan, Sun Mengxi, Hu Duo, and Luo Xiang walked out of the cinema.

Once upon a time, Wang Shu and Yang Wei were friends with them and often acted together.

Especially Wang Shu, he has a vague relationship with Liang Shan.

Now, they are already strangers.

"The movie "Buried Alive" is quite good. I heard it was made by a young talented director." Sun Mengxi is Liang Shan's best friend. Because of Liang Shan's relationship, she is relatively familiar with Wang Shu.

At this moment, she couldn't help but fantasize in her heart.

I don’t know if the young director has a girlfriend?

If not, she doesn't mind posting it.

After the fantasy, she subconsciously complained in her heart.

Why is it that the same name is Wang Shu, the same young man has already written and directed a film that won an award in Berlin, but the Wang Shu she knows is dusting ashes at a construction site?
  Alas, I haven’t seen Wang Shu for a long time.

I wonder how he got on with the dusting at the construction site?

I don’t know if he was pushed to the ground and beaten? Poor baby.

"It's really good." Hu Duo answered, "It's just that Zhang Hanyu's acting skills were a bit lacking, otherwise the film could have been better."

Several people agreed with this.

"Have you noticed?" Luo Xiang said with envy and hatred.

"Zhang Hanyu was chosen to star in this movie after just playing some supporting roles, which is even more outrageous than Wang Baoqiang."

"Wang Baoqiang at least starred in "The Blind Shaft" first, and then was chosen to star in director Feng's "A World Without Thieves."

"Zhang Hanyu has never acted in anything before and was chosen to star in a movie with a male protagonist."

The more Luo Xiang talked about it, the more unbalanced he became, and he added angrily, "With Zhang Hanyu's acting skills, I think I can do it."

"Come on." Hu Duo rolled his eyes and said, "With your acting skills, you can still fuck me?"

"No matter how bad Zhang Hanyu is, he's still a little bit better than you, okay?"

"Pfft." Liang Shan and Sun Mengxi laughed at the same time.

"Fart." Luo Xiang blushed and retorted angrily, "Zhang Hanyu dares to compete with me?"

"If he dares to come, I will definitely beat him up."

"Okay, okay." Hu Duo quickly stopped Luo Xiang's bragging, "Are you going to beat up his head office?"

Seeing that Luo Xiang still wanted to refute, Sun Mengxi couldn't help but said, "Okay, we still don't know how your acting skills are? Just brag and pass."

Luo Xiang opened his mouth after hearing this, but finally chose to shut himself up.

"Ugh."

The few of them chatted for a while, and Liang Shan suddenly sighed softly and said sadly, "I wonder when we will be lucky enough to be spotted by the director."

Luo Xiang, Hu Duo, and Sun Mengxi looked at each other and said, "You are much better than us. You can play roles with lines now, and the three of us are still playing small roles."

When Liang Shan heard this, she couldn't help but think of Huang Dalong. If it weren't for Huang Dalong's help, she wouldn't be just doing a side job like the few friends in front of her.

Now it seems that the choice made at that time was not wrong.

Wang Shu is indeed not suitable for him.

Sun Mengxi, however, held Liang Shan's arm and begged, "Shanshan, please talk to Brother Dalong and ask him to arrange a role for me with lines, okay?"

Luo Xiang and Hu Duo hesitated to speak. They also had the same idea, but they couldn't speak at the moment.

Although Liang Shan was a little reluctant in her heart, she still responded with a smile: "I will mention it to Dalong when I have the chance. Maybe it will succeed."

"As you know, the competition here has always been fierce."

"I was able to get a role with lines only because Dalong worked hard and sold a lot of face."

"So I can't give you a definite answer. I can only mention it to Dalong."

After hearing this, Sun Mengxi hugged Liang Shan and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you Shanshan, I know you will not forget me."

"It doesn't matter whether you can get a role with lines or not. I'll be very happy if you can help me mention it to Brother Dalong."

Luo Xiang and Hu Duo were envious on the sidelines. They supported Liang Shan in order to get a role with lines through Liang Shan being favored by Huang Dalong.

Now that Sun Mengxi has brought this matter up, they cannot continue and can only wait until next time.

Talking and laughing all the way back to their respective residences.

All four of them came to the capital from the countryside and lived in a similar environment to Yang Wei.

There is neither internet nor TV in the room, and the mobile phones used are second-hand push-button mobile phones produced one or two years ago.

Even when they went to the cinema, the posters they saw for "Buried Alive" showed a coffin occupying the entire panel, or Zhang Hanyu lying in the coffin.

Although at the bottom of the poster, it says "Wang Shu directed".

But who would have thought that this Wang Shu is the Wang Shu they know?

In addition, young people don’t like to read newspapers.
  Therefore, even if they walked into the cinema and watched the movie "Buried Alive", they would not know that Wang Shu, who directed "Buried Alive", was the Wang Shu they knew.
  In a decade or so, when one can access all kinds of news with a mobile phone, this situation will definitely not happen.

But now, it's 2005.

The channels through which ordinary people can obtain information, in addition to television broadcasts and news broadcasts, are newspapers.

Although some people can access more information through computers, they only account for a small part of the country's more than one billion people.

The four of them are not included in this list.
