Chapter 599 *I

"What's so enlightening about this? It's not like we can't make a movie in three days." Chen Hong didn't follow Chen Kaige's words, but retorted.

Chen Kaige choked up and thought, is Chen Hong entering menopause early?

Why do you always go against him?
It wasn't like this before.

Looking back, she was so obedient in the past.

Her eyes were full of handsome Chen.

Today, that is not the case at all.

It seems that after all, I can't escape the long-term itch of many old couples in my circle of friends.

After the initial passion, only dullness and mutual dislike remain.

Director Chen sighed in his heart, you know what, young girls are more pleasing to the eye than old ones.

This time, they are planning to film "The Orphan of Zhao", with Fan Binbin starring as the female lead.

Fan Binbin is beautiful.

"How can you make a good movie in three days?" Director Chen was naturally unhappy after being ignored by Chen Hong, and he retorted in a gloomy tone.

Then he snorted, "I've been a director for so many years, don't I even know these things?"

Chen Hong was also unhappy when she heard this tone, and sneered: "You have been a director for many years, but it doesn't mean that there are no other directors who can make a movie in three days."

"I told you yesterday that there are many such examples in Hollywood."

"Wang Shu's films are Hollywood-style, and he spent some time in Hollywood."

"Remember he once said that Hollywood is there, watch more, think more, learn from its strengths and make up for its weaknesses?"

"You think it's impossible for Wang Shu to make a movie in three days? Maybe he went to Hollywood and learned from their strengths and managed to make it?"

She originally wanted to directly say that people are different. Just because you have worked for so many years and cannot make a movie in three days, it doesn’t mean that Wang Shu can’t do it.

People need to have...

When the words were on the tip of his tongue, he felt that if he said it like this, Chen Kaige might get angry and embarrassed, so he changed his words.

This kind of rhetoric, comparatively speaking, won't make people so angry.

Director Chen didn't blush, but snorted coldly: "Huh? Him?"

"Hollywood directors can make a movie in a few days because the American film industry is well developed and those directors have grown up in an environment where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought flourish, and have been influenced by it since childhood."

"For filmmakers like us, many things are only expanded upon when we enter school."

"But he has a broader understanding and vision since he was young."

"It is precisely because of this environment that Hollywood directors can shoot a movie in just a few days."

"And Wang Shu, he is not."

"He hasn't even attended a proper film school. Even if he's been in Hollywood for a while, he can't have such talent."

He really thinks he is a superior person and looks down on others in every way.

Back then, he studied at the Beijing Film Academy with Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others, and he looked down on Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei in every way.

Faced with Tian Zhuangzhuang, he praised her in various ways.

It is precisely because Tian Zhuangzhuang's family background and origin are higher than his, while Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei's origin and family background are not as good as his.

Director Chen has had this expression since he was a child, and he did not become like this after he went to the United States.

"Oh, why are you saying so much? Don't you just not believe that Wang Shu can make a good movie in three days?" Chen Hong sneered.

She did not deny that Chen Kaige's theory did make sense.

According to this, it is indeed impossible for Wang Shu to shoot a movie in three days.

but
Chen Hong met Wang Shu yesterday and knew that this was not the case.

Wang Shu was very confident, and obviously had faith in "The Night the Comet Comes", which was filmed in three days.

And Wang Shu also said that "The Night the Comet Comes" is not a hard science fiction film, but a soft science fiction film that revolves around a house and presents the theory of parallel universes in quantum mechanics.

With Wang Shu's ability, such a low-budget movie with few sets could not only be shot in three days, but also shot well.

Director Chen blushed when Chen Hong pointed out his secret thoughts. He snorted coldly, "What do you mean I don't believe it? I'm telling the truth!"

"Okay, you're telling the truth, okay?" Seeing Director Chen's face beginning to turn red, Chen Hong felt it was boring and didn't want to argue anymore.

But her words and attitude made Director Chen angry and he asked gloomily, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing." Chen Hong responded with an indifferent attitude, then stood up and said, "I still have work to do, I don't have time to argue with you about this."

"Whether Wang Shu can shoot a movie in three days or not, what does it have to do with us?"

"Our top priority right now is the film 'The Orphan of Zhao'."

Director Chen was speechless when he heard this. He wanted to retort but didn't know how to start.

Yesterday, he said, "Our top priority now is the movie "The Orphan of Zhao"

Unexpectedly, today, Chen Hong returned it to me!

Director Chen's face was gloomy and he felt angry but had no way to vent it.

There is no way to resolve the depression in my heart.

In fact, he just wanted Chen Hong to follow his words and mock Wang Shu.

However, Chen Hong did not do as he wished.

So angry!

Chen Hong was also angry. She left the house, sat in the car to calm herself down, and took out her cell phone to edit a text message.

"Are you busy?" Chen Hong.

"I can be busy or not." Wang Shu was in the company. He reached out and saw that it was a text message from Chen Hong, so he replied immediately.

Chen Hong felt better after seeing this text message.

These words prove that Wang Shu has her in his heart.

Even though I am busy with something, I can put down what I am doing because of her.

Isn’t it romantic?

"Then you are not busy." Chen Hong replied with a slight smile on her lips.

"Well, not busy." Wang Shu replied.

When Chen Hong saw the text message, her previous cold expression was no longer there, and she was full of smiles.

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Shu asked, "Where are you?"

"In the car." Chen Hong.

"Huh? Going out of town?" Wang Shu thought Chen Hong was going out of town for work.

"No, I'm in my car's parking space. I was planning to go out and take care of some things, so I don't want to go out for the time being." Chen Hong.

Wang Shu saw the message and immediately replied: "Then come to my apartment and rest for a while?"

"Yeah." Chen Hong.

apartment.

As soon as the two of them walked in and closed the door, Chen Hong put her arms around Wang Shu's neck, her eyes watery and she said softly, "Hit me!"

Wang Shu discovered that Chen Hong was very proactive today, which was different from before.

What's going on here?
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, and Wang Shu knew there must be a reason.

However, no matter what the reason is, you should pretend that you have not noticed it and not ask about it.

If you ask proactively, you will only be asking for trouble.

If it were some bootlickers, they would definitely be very concerned and ask about the person's well-being and the reason.

But Wang Shu has never been a bootlicker.

More than an hour later, Wang Shu looked at Chen Hong, who had already put on her clothes and was putting on makeup, and asked softly, "Let's have dinner together?"

"No, I have other things to do." Chen Hong declined. Wang Shu also knew that Chen Hong was worried about being seen, so he did not force her.

In fact, he was also worried about being seen.

But the attitude he presented showed that he was not worried at all.

And in Chen Hong's eyes, this is a manifestation of love for her.

Seeing Wang Shu's low mood, Chen Hong immediately stood up and walked to Wang Shu, coaxing him softly, "We'll have dinner together again when we have a chance. Today is really inconvenient."

After saying that, she kissed Wang Shu on the cheek with a pleading look in her eyes.

Beg Wang Shu not to be upset about this and to understand her.

"Yeah." Wang Shu responded muffledly, then hugged Chen Hong and kissed her again.

He did this not because he was obsessed with Chen Hong, but because he pretended to be obsessed with her to maintain his image in Chen Hong's heart.

In other words, it's not that he wants to do this, but that he needs to do it at this time and at this point.

As a result, he immediately made Chen Hong feel his deep affection and infatuation.

This not only satisfied Chen Hong's emotional value, but also made Chen Hong feel distressed and love him even more.

So Chen Hong responded to his kiss.

After kissing for a while and then parting their lips, she took the initiative to hold Wang Shu's face and kissed him on the lips again.

With twinkling eyes and a soft voice full of love, she said, "I'm leaving."

Wang Shu didn't reply, but kissed her again.

After going through this for a long time, Chen Hong left reluctantly.

In a blink of an eye, it is mid-October.

Wang Shu did not attend the opening ceremony of the biennial Golden Rooster Awards.

Many people with mixed qualifications in the circle have strong opinions on this.

In their view, as the first Oscar-winning director from the mainland, Wang Shu should contribute to the mainland's film art and should participate in the Golden Rooster Awards.

He totally ignores this kind of moral kidnapping.

He hasn't even joined the Film Association, let alone participated in the Golden Rooster Awards.

Back then, he said publicly that Hollywood is there, so we should watch more and think more, and learn from its strengths to make up for our weaknesses.

Many people in the Film Association and the Directors Association were unhappy and spread the word that he would not be allowed to enter.

At the beginning of the year, he won an Oscar, and people from the Motion Picture Association and the Directors Guild approached him and invited him to join.

He doesn't care about anything.

With the opening of the 27th Golden Rooster Awards, more news related to it has emerged.

Since the lineup and number of stars attending the event were far from what the organizers had boasted before, there was constant ridicule.

In this regard, many organizers blamed Wang Shu.

Wang Shu is an Oscar-winning director. If he could go to the scene, it would not only enhance the weight of the Golden Rooster Awards, but also attract many actors to come, and there would be many topics.

As a result, Wang Shu, a Chinese filmmaker, did not come!
It is said that people are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of getting fat.

Many big-name filmmakers did not attend this year's Golden Rooster Awards, but no one blamed them.

Everyone just stared at Wang Shu.

Afterwards, Wang Shu heard someone talking about this and he laughed.

These people are really fucking terrible. I can't find any adjectives to describe them.

Soon, the three-day Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival ended, and Zhou Xun returned to Beijing with the Best Actress award.

"A party is being organized, do you want to come?" Zhou Xun called Wang Shu and asked.

"What? Are you celebrating the award?" Wang Shu did not answer the question immediately, but teased with a smile.

"Yes, are you coming?" Zhou Xun admitted openly, and then explained, "Actually it's not a celebration, but I won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress after all, and it would be wrong not to express my gratitude when I return to Beijing."

"So organize a party and invite friends you know to get together."

"I don't have time. I'm busy doing post-production on two dramas, and Pacific Rim is going to be released during the New Year." Wang Shu declined helplessly.

In fact, he himself didn't want to go.

Zhou Xun organized a celebration party for her winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, and she should have been the most dazzling one.

Once he goes, as an Oscar-winning director who has to shoot a movie in three days, he may steal the limelight from Zhou Xun.

In this situation, although Zhou Xun would not say it, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Besides, he was really too busy to spare the time.

It’s better to decline.

"Is Pacific Rim confirmed to be released in theaters during the New Year?" Zhou Xun asked.

"It depends on how the movie is completed. If it can be completed before the New Year's Day, it should be released during the New Year's Day." Wang Shu continued.

Zhou Xun understood what this meant, and replied with a somewhat disappointed tone: "Okay, you're busy."

Wang Shu heard this and said, "I'll treat you to a meal when I'm done with my work."

Zhou Xun's emotional value was satisfied to a certain extent after hearing this, and he smiled and said, "I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a long time. I wonder if the bacon I left at your house is still there?"

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed and said, "The bacon is still here. Come to my house and I'll make it for you."

"That's what you said. I've kept it in mind." Zhou Xun replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll call you when I'm done with my busy schedule." Wang Shu.

"Yeah." Zhou Xun.

The two chatted for a while and hung up the phone.

The bacon that Zhou Xun mentioned was in Wang Shu's house was actually from when she came to Wang Shu's house for dinner and praised the bacon for being delicious, and Wang Shu then offered to give her a piece.

Zhou Xun replied that she didn't cook at home, so it would be a waste to take it back.

After chatting about this and that, Zhou Xun joked that he might leave the house at Wang Shu's house first.

Actually, it was just a joke, but it’s brought up again now.

night.

Party scene.

Chen Kun asked in confusion: "Isn't Director Wang here?"

Shu Qi, Liu Ruoyin, Yao Chen and others also looked at her.

Zhou Xun shook his head: "He has something to do and can't get away."

She didn't explain what exactly happened.

After hearing this, Chen Kun didn't ask any more questions. He just felt that it was a bit lacking that Wang Shu didn't come.

Shu Qi, Liu Ruoyin, Yao Chen and others were also quite disappointed. They thought they would have a chance to meet Wang Shu and make friends with him, but they didn't expect that he would not come.

Compared with Shu Qi and Liu Ruoyin, Yao Chen, who has a smaller status, was in an unusually low mood.

She was full of expectations and was ready to take this opportunity to win Wang Shu's favor and catch up with or surpass Shu Qi, Zhou Xun and others by starring in Wang Shu's movies.

Unexpectedly, the wait was in vain.

It is said that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

"Is there something important?" Liu Ruoyin asked curiously.

Seeing that not only Liu Ruoyin but everyone else was looking at him curiously, Zhou Xun had no choice but to explain, "He needs to finish the film quickly, and it's at a critical stage right now."

She did not say that Wang Shu wanted to finish production of Pacific Rim and release it in theaters before the New Year. Although this has been rumored in the circle, there is no definite answer.

Therefore, she didn't want to bring trouble to Wang Shu because of her talkativeness.

She didn't want to get into any trouble, even if it was insignificant.
