Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 120 Sweet Love Movie

There are many people who share the same idea as Zhang Ziyi and are unaware of the truth. In everyone's opinion, a romance film that can win the three major awards in Europe must be a little different.

For example, as one netizen said.

Male and female? Female and male? Or the woman and the couple?
This is only reasonable.

This kind of movie is a philosophical movie that explores human nature and ponders loneliness and solitude.

"Secret Sunshine", just look at the name, it sounds like a sweet love story among multiple people.

Pang Bing also used a lot of connections to get the chance to audition for the female lead with Cao Yang. She never expected that she would lose to a young actor who became famous in commercials.

She still hasn't figured out why she lost.

It doesn't make sense to say that the other party has better skills. Director Cao didn't give any hints at the time, and he pretended not to understand my hints. They didn't compare skills at all.

In terms of appearance, I am not worse than her, right?
Alas, I don’t understand, is it really because of the acting?
So, with this mood in mind, she decided to go and watch the movie. She wanted to see what the other party could do in a romance movie.

Xu Jinglei was also very depressed. That woman Gao Yuanyuan had shitty acting skills. When she was filming "Metro to Spring", there were only a few simple shots and she kept doing NGs. How could she become the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival?
It is true that Cao Yang is good at training actors, and this is also recognized by everyone. But it is seriously illogical that he can train a little newbie into a Cannes Film Queen in such a short time!

What’s even more infuriating is that that woman, an 18th-tier minor artist, won the Cannes Best Actress Award and became the country’s top actress. Whether it was her film remuneration or endorsement fees, she was far ahead of herself!
I'm not convinced!

Xu Jinglei forced Wang Shuo to go to the cinema together to see how capable that woman was.

Then, everyone who had watched the movie fell silent.

International Zhang expressed her feelings many times using gentle international common modal particles, and she had so much to say but didn't know who to talk to.

"Who is it that keeps saying this is a romance movie?"

"Gao Yuanyuan winning the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival was not a surprise."

"She played it really well. I don't know if I could be that natural."

"Cao Yang is so awesome!"

After reading it, Pang Bing was also full of questions.

"How can this be a fucking sweet romance movie?"

"No wonder Director Cao chose Gao Yuanyuan. She acted so well that it didn't even look like she was acting. There wasn't a trace of acting at all."

"I probably can't do what she does..."

"Director Cao is awesome!"

After Xu Jinglei and Wang Shuo finished watching, Wang Shuo patted Xu Jinglei's hand without hesitation and said, "Don't be unconvinced. You don't have such acting skills. You can't be so natural even if you practice."

Xu Jinglei snorted but did not refute. She knew herself well and knew that she could never achieve such natural, unpretentious and explosive acting skills.

"She has acted in a movie with me before, and her acting skills are not like this. It's very bad, okay."

Xu Jinglei pouted and said that she approved of his acting skills but was still a little dissatisfied with him as a person.

Wang Shuo thought for a moment and said, "So many people said before that Cao Yang is good at training actors, but I didn't feel anything. I just thought he was lucky."

"now what?"

Xu Jinglei interjected curiously. "In one word, I am convinced! I am convinced. Awesome!"

Then he patted Xu Jinglei's hand and said, "You shouldn't be so willful. You shouldn't refuse to play a supporting role this time. Building a good relationship with such a director is much better than any mess."

"I saw that woman was the main character and wanted me to play a supporting role for her. I was not convinced. You know, there were a lot of scandals reported in the media at that time. How could I have the nerve to play a supporting role for her?

Unfortunately, Cao Yang has gone to Hollywood, and now there is no way to establish a good relationship with him. "

Xu Jinglei actually regretted it in her heart. She should have approached him shamelessly at that time. It was too late to say anything now. Cao Yang had gone to Hollywood to develop his career, and there was no way she could get close to him.

"Hey, there are definitely plenty of opportunities. It's not that easy to get by in Hollywood. He might come back in disgrace after finishing this movie. But don't look down on him just because he failed in Hollywood. He's still a big director after coming back. His status is still there."

"Yeah, I know. Do I need you to remind me?"

At this time, the Internet, especially several forums and communities, were already bustling with activity.

"Wow, who the hell started the rumor that this was a sweet love movie? I brought my girlfriend with me, and I thought that from a movie that could win a European award, I would definitely learn some useful positions... No, it's knowledge.

As a result, my girlfriend cried while watching it. She cried so hard that no one could persuade her to stop. Her good mood was gone. She didn’t even let me touch her, not to mention her posture... her knowledge! "

"I feel the same way! I also believed the nonsense on the forum, saying that it must be something a woman and a couple had to say... Nonsense! Can you imagine that a grown man like me would shed tears after watching it?"

"It's so abominable. Which media first reported that it was a romance film? I was fooled too. I couldn't calm down after watching it...By the way, Gao Yuanyuan acted really well. She deserves to win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival."

"I remember that Cao Yang explained the title of the film at the launch conference. Mi Yang means hidden sunshine, hidden sunshine, light, support, and love that are hidden around us and not discovered... Maybe it was the last few words that made it a romance film."

"There is nothing wrong with Cao Yang's explanation. We can only say that the reporter is stupid and self-righteous."

"The journalist is stupid and self-righteous."

"The journalist is stupid and self-righteous."

"The journalist is stupid and self-righteous."

"Wait a minute, let me interrupt you. I haven't watched it yet, so I want to ask you, is this movie good?"

"You deserve the Best Director and Best Actress awards at Cannes. The film is very depressing, definitely better than 99% of the films this year."

"The quality of the film is very good, the storytelling is also very good, Gao Yuanyuan's acting is even better, she deserves the Cannes Best Actress award, but I still have to say that the reporter is stupid and self-righteous."

"The journalist is stupid and self-righteous."

"The journalist is stupid and self-righteous."

……

The popularity of "Secret Sunshine" has indeed surpassed Cao Yang's previous two films. Even the previous film "Empty Room", which won the Golden Lion, could not compare with "Secret Sunshine" in terms of popularity.

There are many reasons for this. One of them is that she was the first Cannes Film Festival Best Actress. Another reason is that reporters reported that this was a romance film. As a result, when people saw it, they thought that love was a pigtail, which was particularly depressing.

But because the quality of the movie is really good, and there are not many movies to watch these days, once a movie that wins an award becomes well-known, everyone will follow suit and watch it.

Movies recognized by the three major European organizations will appear to be very classy, ​​which is a characteristic of this era.

When "Secret Sunshine" was released, Cao Yang's "Despicable Milk" was almost ready.
