Huayu 97: The Beginning of a Marriage Fraudulently

Chapter 246 I love you

The scope of "Black Swan" is being expanded day by day.

Liu Yifei and Emma have more and more scenes together.

A deeper level of meaning was also revealed under the director's guidance.

Liu Yifei's Nina and Emma's Lily are merging with each other.

For example, the scene where Nina enters a nightclub for the first time at Lily's invitation.

The two drank and did drugs together, with Lily acting like a devil, leading Nina to indulge in debauchery.

Nina gradually breaks free from her self-imposed constraints, even taking the initiative to kiss Lily...

Filming this scene was a challenge for both Liu Yifei and Emma.

However, Emma was more excited.

Whether on or off screen, Emma always seems to have a sense of exhilaration.

Liu Yifei was a little reserved at first.

However, Liu Yifei soon broke through her own limitations.

Emma's subtle sarcasm stung Liu Yifei.

This change in emotion perfectly matches Nina's psychological changes in the film.

Thus, a classic scene was born.

After Liu Yifei took this step, her scenes with Emma became even more exciting.

The conflict escalated on the eve of the performance.

Nina discovers Lily sitting in her makeup area backstage, applying her Black Swan makeup, and the two get into a conflict.

Finally, Nina used a shard of mirror to stab Lily...

A bizarre scene unfolded during the second act, the Black Swan performance.

Nina and Lily's dance moves form a mirror image contrast.

Lily's black dance costume and Nina's white dance costume create a strong visual contrast.

Under the lights, the two resembled twin flowers that coexisted yet clashed.

Lily's "existence" compels Nina to unleash the evil power of the Black Swan, ultimately achieving artistic "perfection" through self-destruction.

But for director Darren, this wasn't the ultimate goal.

Therefore, director Darren used a dreamlike cinematic language to present Nina and Lily's taboo breakthrough.

Nina's body glistened with sweat...

"Siyuan, keep an eye on the editing. Many art-house film directors like this..."

Liu Xiaoli stood next to Chen Siyuan, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

However, Chen Siyuan understood what Liu Xiaoli meant.

Not to mention the countless small film festivals, even the three major European film festivals are filled with films that supposedly highlight humanity.

Pornography and violence are elements that art-house film directors like to depict.

This seems to be the underlying nature of the world.

They possess an eye for discovering beauty in the lives of ordinary people.

Many actors will cooperate with directors to remove their clothes in order to win awards and gain prestige.

As a result, many people who took it off couldn't put it back on.

Those who take it off and then put it back on are, after all, a minority.

But it seems that this is all people see.

So, like moths to a flame, they plunged headlong into the flame.

Of course, Liu Yifei doesn't need that.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Chen Siyuan patted Liu Xiaoli's hand, and Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Chen Siyuan's reply.

Because she knew that Chen Siyuan cared about Liu Yifei more than anyone else.

Chen Siyuan wasn't just saying it; he genuinely took Liu Xiaoli to communicate with Director Darren.

As the "overseas Li Guoli," director Darren firmly stands by Chen Siyuan's side.

Therefore, Director Darren readily agreed to Chen Siyuan's suggestion.

This is also related to Darren's directing style.

Darren is better at using various metaphors to express himself.

Therefore, director Darren will use a more subtle approach to depict those scenes involving Liu Yifei.

We guarantee that there will be no scenes unsuitable for children.

Director Darren Chen also shared his thoughts with Chen Siyuan on set.

After hearing Director Darren's idea, Chen Siyuan felt relieved. Director Darren is usable!

Liu Xiaoli, who was standing next to him, also scratched Chen Siyuan's palm twice with satisfaction.

"By the way, Director Mark contacted me. He hopes to stage 'Swan Lake' before the movie is released."

Liu Xiaoli suddenly remembered that Mark had asked her to talk to him.

Is there enough time for rehearsals?

Chen Siyuan understood Mark's idea and did not object. The early premiere of "Swan Lake" would also benefit "Black Swan".

"The dancers in the troupe are all working very hard, and the schedule is on track."

Liu Xiaoli said affirmatively.

Although Liu Xiaoli is not currently the principal dancer of the New York Dance Company.

However, the principal dancers of the New York Dance Company all listen to Liu Xiaoli.

All the dancers rehearsed exactly according to Liu Xiaoli's requirements.

The progress is also very encouraging.

“Then let’s go with your idea. If Swan Lake can be as sensational as The Dying Swan, it can also serve as a continuous promotional effect for Black Swan.”

Liu Xiaoli nodded; it was indeed a win-win situation.

Just then, Mark walked over, looking somewhat nervous.

"Jack, Liu told you, right? What do you think?"

Chen Siyuan looked at Mark with a smile.

This little old man is quite interesting.

"Mark, I can agree to that, but what can you offer in return?"

"Jack, many of the New York Dance Company's loyal audience members are also Oscar voters. I can help you get votes for 'Black Swan'!"

Mark blurted it out.

Then he looked at Chen Siyuan with some trepidation.

Mark was very optimistic about "Swan Lake," which is a sister piece to "The Dying Swan."

This is also an opportunity for the New York dance company to rise again!

"it is good!"

"Jack...you said yes?!"

Mark's eyes widened.

He was just about to try to persuade her again.

As a result, Chen Siyuan agreed.

“Mark, we’re old friends, so I certainly won’t hesitate to help you!”

Chen Siyuan hugged Mark.

Even a shrewd old fox like Mark was moved by Chen Siyuan's words.

Having witnessed too much opportunism and exploitation, Mark is often driven by self-interest.

But Chen Siyuan gave Mark a different feeling.

"Thank you."

After filming all the scenes for the day was completed, the actors began to go home one after another.

However, the dancers from the New York Dance Company all stayed.

They also learned about the early premiere of "Swan Lake".

Whether they were dancers who had experienced "The Dying Swan" or newcomers who had just joined the company, everyone was very excited.

They stayed behind to "work overtime"!

"Siyuan, you should take Xixi back first. We'll probably be rehearsing until very late."

Liu Xiaoli went through the same thing back then.

Chen Siyuan nodded. He could accompany her, but Liu Yifei needed to rest.

He took Liu Yifei home and had a simple dinner.

Then I went out for a walk.

Liu Yifei also enjoyed the time she spent with Chen Siyuan.

They haven't gone for a walk alone together in a long time.

"I love you!"

As they walked, Liu Yifei suddenly stopped, looked into Chen Siyuan's eyes, and said those three words.

Chen Siyuan gently tapped Liu Yifei's forehead, "I love you too!"
