The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 262 Emily Blunt, a near-A-list Hollywood actress, is only fit for cameo roles!

……

Upon returning to Yanjing, Lu Zhiyuan immediately went to Yuankun Media to begin post-production work, including editing, color grading, and dubbing.

The film footage, all in total, took about 5 hours to shoot!
Under normal circumstances, the final edited film will most likely be kept under two hours.

However, Lu Zhiyuan's rhythm for shooting art films is different from Zhuang Wenqiang's; he really likes to use long takes with flowing light and shadow.

This is completely different from the pace of Lu Zhiyuan's commercial films.

Therefore, even though the plot of this movie is almost the same as the original "Project Gutenberg", it is at least 30 minutes longer than the original "Project Gutenberg" due to the different director's style.

Therefore, when editing, Lu Zhiyuan had to cut out some unimportant scenes.

For example, in the original "Project Gutenberg," the love story of the female police officer... As a movie fan, Lu Zhiyuan had no desire to watch it at all, as it was a story unrelated to the main character.

Previously, as a spectator, he had no choice.

Now that he's a director, when he edits these materials, he naturally does whatever he wants according to his own aesthetic!

"Brother Yuan, I think this scene was filmed very well..."

When Zhuang Wenqiang saw that Lu Zhiyuan had finished editing in a week, he came over excitedly to take a look at the half-finished product, only to be immediately stunned.

"Okay, then you do the editing. Let me see how you manage to cut this material into two hours' worth of footage!"

The other shots are all of Li Wen and the painter, Li Wen and Ruan Wen, Li Wen making counterfeit money... Every frame is related to the main plot of the film and the theme of "The Painter".

The love story of the female police officer is irrelevant to the main plot of this movie.

"Brother Yuan, I was wrong. We'll do it your way."

Zhuang Wenqiang thought for a long time and realized that those artistically beautiful shots couldn't be cut, so he could only delete the policewoman's unnecessary love story.

"It's a pity about Emily Blunt... I feel that her acting skills are much better than Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Shishi."

Zhuang Wenqiang couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Zhiyuan's network of connections is truly impressive.

A mere policewoman, not even a third lead, but merely an important supporting character, yet Lu Zhiyuan managed to bring in Emily Blunt, a near-A-list Hollywood actress.

wrong.

This actress was introduced to him by Tom Hiddleston; she volunteered herself, not by Lu Zhiyuan seeking her out.

Emily Blunt even refused payment and made a free cameo appearance, just to infiltrate Lu Zhiyuan's circle of friends, hoping that Lu Zhiyuan would give her a little help when he made a blockbuster.

"Emily's acting skills are indeed excellent. Moreover, she is a rare British actress with a delicate appearance and a classical beauty, who is able to play a female warrior in Hollywood."

Emily Blunt has not yet become a big star, but she has already entered the mainstream of Hollywood.

She has already co-starred with Bruce Willis in "Looper".

Last year, she landed another big job, working with Tom Cruise on "Edge of Tomorrow," where she played Rita, a female warrior with explosive fighting power!
In fact, at this stage, Emily Blunt was poised to explode onto the scene and could be promoted to the top tier at any time!
In such situations, she needs the support of big-name directors and big-budget productions.

Movies like Looper and Edge of Tomorrow are good, and the production teams are excellent, but they're not enough.

She wants to meet the top directors!

It can either be a box office hit or win an award.

As a British actress, the person she could most easily contact was, of course, Christopher Nolan, the great British director.

However, Nolan's latest project is still in the planning stages, and it's unclear when it will be filmed.

With Tom Hiddleston's introduction, Emily Blunt decided to first build a good relationship with Lu Zhiyuan.

The movie "Godzilla" already has a Japanese female lead and a Chinese female lead, so it definitely needs a blonde Western female lead!
She reserved this spot first!

Besides Keanu Reeves as the male protagonist, the most popular characters in the Real Steel series are the female protagonists brought up by Lu Zhiyuan.

This is because all the leading actresses are of Asian descent.

If the actress had a Western face, Emily Blunt couldn't have imagined how popular this lead role would have been!

For example, Dilraba!
Among these female protagonists, she has the closest appearance to that of a European or American, resembling a mixed-race person of Indo-European descent.

Therefore, Dilraba's portrayal of Alita, the battle angel, has surpassed the popularity of all other Hollywood actresses, making her arguably the most popular star in the world!
“Brother Yuan, she made a cameo appearance for free and worked diligently for a week. It’s too cruel of you to delete most of her scenes.”

Zhuang Wenqiang couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"She doesn't care about this movie at all."

Lu Zhiyuan knew very well what Emily Blunt wanted.

Godzilla will inevitably be made into a series. Lu Zhiyuan already has an idea for the first one, but for now, he'll leave it as is.

No more unnecessary characters will be added.

However, for the second film, Lu Zhiyuan will definitely have to include some European and American actresses in order to improve box office performance.

Emily Blunt can be temporarily considered as a backup option.

……

"Okay, that's enough for today. I'm going home now."

The post-production of this film is going much more smoothly than Lu Zhiyuan had imagined, and it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of June.

It will definitely be released in August!
From mid-August to October, right after the summer holidays and with a string of blockbuster movies being released... this is a terrible period for movie releases.

It would be inappropriate for a blockbuster to be released during this period, as it wouldn't be able to attract enough box office revenue.

However, as an art film, Lu Zhiyuan did not have high expectations for the box office performance of this movie, and placing it in this relatively "leisurely" release period was just right.

The competition is not fierce.

If all goes well, cinemas around the world will give him a good number of screenings, provided the publicity is effective.

……

For Lu Zhiyuan, the biggest challenge in making the movie "Project Gutenberg" was playing the male lead for the first time.

The process of directing and post-production is relatively simple compared to special effects blockbusters.

These past few days, he's been going to and from get off work on time, editing, color grading, and post-production at his own pace, with plenty of time to spare.

His real focus had long been on the movie "Godzilla".

……

Go home.

After filming the movie, Lu Zhiyuan went to work at Yuankun Media and also frequently visited the special effects company, Black Hole Vision.

Therefore, Lu Zhiyuan and Reba moved back to the villa near Hongluo Temple.

"Honey, the grape seedlings are growing so well. From a tiny seed, in just three months, they've almost become a small sapling."

For Reba, the grapevines planted in the yard were a symbol of her love with Lu Zhiyuan.

When she went out to film, Dilraba specially hired a gardener to come and check on the grapevines every few days, making sure they didn't wither.

This grape seedling is growing very well.

But Dilraba still complained that it grew too slowly.

After all, it takes 2 to 3 years for a grape seedling to grow into a grape vine, and then to flower and bear fruit... slower than her getting pregnant and giving birth!

"Dilraba, you've been staying home every day lately, aren't you bored by yourself?"

After the release of "Anarhan", Dilraba appeared on some programs in the first few days of the series' premiere to help boost its popularity.

Next, she simply disappeared.

Because the internet is flooded with negative reviews.

Most people said the plot was boring.

Some haters suddenly appeared, saying, "This is the first female lead in film history? She looks terrible without makeup, is dark-skinned and thin, and looks tacky."

Many others say that Dilraba's acting is terrible! She can't even act well in TV dramas, so how did she become the number one leading actress in film history?
All four of her starring roles were huge hits, and she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress twice!

So, this is what you call cringeworthy acting?

……

Dilraba originally thought that after her TV series became a hit, netizens would praise her for being an international A-list actress who acted in a historical drama for her hometown with almost no pay, without makeup, and even playing an ugly and dark character.

It was a huge sacrifice for art!
Some die-hard fans do say that.

But what's more unstoppable is that the haters are stirring up trouble!
Seeing the overwhelming negative reviews online, Dilraba almost broke down. Lately, she has been feeling a bit insecure.

……

This is the first time Dilraba has experienced large-scale cyberbullying!
Clearly, this behavior was premeditated and organized.

As for who's behind this...

Although Reba didn't have concrete evidence, she could vaguely sense that an invisible hand was reaching out from Jing Tian's side!
It was like a dark cloud hanging over her head.

……

"Honey, I spend my days at home looking at fashion magazines, admiring your paintings, and giving Xiao Zhang pointers on his movements. I have a very fulfilling day."

Dilraba said that she is not bored at all, and there are always things to do every day.

However, Lu Zhiyuan could tell that Reba was not being sincere, and the smile on her face was also very forced.

He didn't ask any more questions, but went up and gently hugged Reba, comforting her, "Reba, don't think too much. We're not RMB or USD, we can't expect everyone in the world to like us."

Lu Zhiyuan also saw the overwhelming ridicule online.

Dilraba's actual acting skills were indeed a bit lacking; they weren't quite as polished.

Furthermore, the requirements for actors in film production are completely different from those in television drama production.

Film is the art of the director, the art of light and shadow.

For TV dramas, you need to look at the script, the actors' acting skills, and their delivery of lines... Most importantly, TV dramas are very long, and many characters need to go through a growth process.

The acting skills required for actors are different in film and television.

For example, Sun Li, as a top-tier television actress, shows absolutely no acting skills when filming movies; in fact, she's often the one who drags the entire crew down.

To be honest, is her acting bad?
of course not.

However, the requirements for actors in movies and TV series are completely different!

In TV dramas, the audience mainly seeks companionship, and actors need to portray the process of "growth".

In movies, this kind of growth might only require a single shot!
"Husband, you are the warmest person in the world."

Reba gave Lu Zhiyuan a forced smile, a warm feeling welling up inside her.

She was originally very confident, believing that she was the most suitable person in the world to be Lu Zhiyuan's girlfriend and marry him.

But now, she suddenly feels a little inferior.

Because she suddenly realized that if it weren't for Lu Zhiyuan, she would just be an ordinary singer and dancer.

He's still one of those minor actors who sits on the sidelines!

During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, all the veteran members of the song and dance troupe went to the Olympics to perform.

She was left behind.

I could only watch the Olympics at home on TV.

She was disappointed for about half a year because of this.

It was at that time that Lu Zhiyuan appeared in her life like a ray of light, taking her to art exhibitions, cultivating her artistic thinking, training her acting skills, and taking her to scout locations all over the world.

I took her to Hollywood, Los Angeles, New York, Bulgaria... to so many places.

Then, with just one movie, she became a top Hollywood actress.

All of this felt like a dream to her at the age of 17.

She even felt like she was dreaming.

"Alright, stop whining, let's eat, I'm a little hungry."

Lu Zhiyuan gently rubbed Reba's cheek to tell her not to think too much.

Although she has become a legendary female star, she is still a junior in college!
The road ahead is long.

……

"Brother Yuan, did I disturb you?"

After knocking gently on the door a few times and finding no one paying attention, Zhang Ruonan timidly walked in and suddenly saw Lu Zhiyuan and Dilraba hugging each other.

She immediately felt a pang of regret.

I should have come half an hour later!
"Xiao Nan, go to the art studio on the third floor and wait for me."

After Zhang Ruonan became the third generation of "Road Girls," Dilraba quickly signed her to her own studio.

Then, Zhang Tianai was asked to get a leave of absence for Zhang Ruonan from school. She would not be going back to school for classes normally, but would go back for the final exam.

The school, of course, had no objections.

In an unprecedented event, a student from a vocational high school was selected by a top director and is about to become the female lead in a blockbuster movie.

This is also an honor for the school.

The school was eager to give Zhang Ruonan her graduation certificate on the spot, to tell the whole world that Zhang Ruonan was from their vocational high school!
Although doing this is unlikely to attract many people to take the entrance exam for their vocational high school, at least it makes the school leaders look good when they go out to meetings and such!
The name Zhang Ruonan could fill at least 10 years of teaching reports for the school's leaders!

"Brother Yuan, I'll look at the paintings for a while. You and Sister Reba, take your time eating."

Zhang Ruonan has recently seen a lot of negative comments about Dilraba online.

She thought those netizens were really awful.

Dilraba, what a wonderful person you are.

Those netizens don't understand Dilraba at all, yet they say she has poor acting skills, is dark-skinned, has large pores, and has masculine features.

These people only know how to look at pictures online...

If you're so capable, come to my house and see how exquisite and lovely Dilraba is, just like a Barbie doll!
In Lu Zhiyuan's movies, Dilraba's aura is so explosive!

These people watch the "Real Steel" series and don't say a word!

it's good now……

Dilraba refused payment and contributed to her hometown for free by filming a TV series, but was subsequently criticized by the entire internet.

Those who don't know the situation might think that Dilraba has done something that would incur divine wrath and public outrage.

In this situation, someone is definitely stirring up trouble.

"Being an actor is really difficult."

"Sister Dilraba is so outstanding, she has already become the number one leading actress in film history, but she is being criticized by the whole Internet just because the TV series she starred in was not a classic."

How can a TV series be compared to Lu Zhiyuan's sci-fi blockbuster?
If netizens are disappointed, they can criticize the director. What does it have to do with Dilraba Dilmurat, the actress?
Zhang Ruonan was deeply moved in her studio on the third floor.

But soon, she remembered that Dilraba was Lu Zhiyuan's real girlfriend, and she felt that it was not unreasonable for Dilraba to be criticized by the whole internet.

This is called the law of conservation of happiness.

One cannot have all the advantages.

……

After dinner.

Lu Zhiyuan sat with Reba for a while and noticed that she had a poor appetite and seemed preoccupied, so he roughly knew what she was thinking.

Lu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and then said, "Reba, a couple of days ago, Hani taught me a Uyghur phrase that you can use to curse someone. I heard it's a really fierce curse."

what?
That brat even taught you to swear in Uyghur! Who in this house understands Uyghur?
I'm not the only one!
That brat didn't teach you to curse me in Uyghur, did she?
They've really grown up.

When that brat comes over for summer vacation, I'll beat her to a pulp!
At this moment, Dilraba raised her head, looked silently at Lu Zhiyuan, and asked with great curiosity, "Honey, what exactly did Honey teach you?"

Looking into Reba's eyes, Lu Zhiyuan uttered the incantation slowly and sincerely: "Kozlinin... Jamal."

Haha!

Reba was initially angry with Hanikezi for daring to teach Lu Zhiyuan to swear, especially since it was directed at her.

But upon hearing Lu Zhiyuan speak this sentence in Uyghur, she immediately understood that it was all because Lu Zhiyuan noticed she was unhappy and had come up with a way to cheer her up.

Kozlining Jamal... This Uyghur phrase translates to "Your eyes are like the moon."

This is hardly an insult.

This is clearly Lu Zhiyuan confessing his feelings to himself!
……

Dilraba lowered her head, the curve of her lips betraying her true feelings.

But she told herself she had to hold back!
At this moment, Reba took out her phone and first searched for the pronunciation of this Uyghur phrase to see if Lu Zhiyuan had learned a new trick online.

However, it's not available online!
There are very few online tutorials on Uyghur pronunciation, let alone such delicate and beautiful expressions of love.

This made Reba even more curious: how exactly did Lu Zhiyuan learn Uyghur?
But no matter how Lu Zhiyuan learned it, at least at this moment, these words were spoken to her, making Dilraba feel especially happy and sweet.

"Honey, come down early tonight. I want to hold you while we sleep."

Dating someone you like feels completely different.

A single kind word from the other person can instantly brighten even the worst mood.

Dilraba is in a really good mood right now.

Lu Zhiyuan is right!
The opinions of the rest of the world about her are meaningless... She has made enough money and gained enough fame; she lacks nothing.

What's a few insults?
Just assume they're jealous of me!

……

"Honey, tonight I'm wearing Roy Hibbert's jersey. How about you come up here and tear it off, and we play some close-quarters combat?"

Lu Zhiyuan's words made her very happy, and Reba decided to cheer him up too, so that he could have a good time tonight.

What the heck is Roy Hibbert's jersey?

Lu Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment.

After a while, he suddenly realized something and snapped back to his senses.

Roy Hibbert, a center for the Indiana Pacers in the NBA, is nicknamed "Gao Yuanyuan" by Chinese fans because his stats often show zero and he's very tall!
As a long-time football fan, Lu Zhiyuan naturally knew the origin of this nickname.

All I can say is that this nickname is absolutely hilarious!

At this moment, although Lu Zhiyuan knew perfectly well what was going on, he could only pretend not to understand and asked with a blank look, "Roy Hibbert, who is that? A football player?"

"It's nothing. I was just joking with you."

Dilraba waved with a smile, telling Lu Zhiyuan to go upstairs to work, and that she would clean up the table herself.

After Lu Zhiyuan went upstairs, Reba checked the date and saw that it was already June, so she transferred another 300,000 yuan to Gao Yuanyuan's pension fund!

"Dilraba, are you crazy? Why are you sending me money?"

After receiving the 30 yuan pension, Gao Yuanyuan was immediately agitated. Last month, she righteously told Reba not to send any more money.

This is the money Lu Zhiyuan owes her.

It has nothing to do with Dilraba.

In addition, Yuan Technology's valuation in the capital market has exceeded 20 billion!
Lu Zhiyuan and her older brother had specifically hinted that after the movie "Project Gutenberg" was released, it would likely drive up the valuation of Yuan Technology to continue its upward trend.

It is very likely to reach 50 billion, or even 80 billion.

Gao Yuanyuan owns about 35% of the company's shares, which will be worth at least 20 billion!
She's so rich and lives a carefree life; all she wants is to find a man she truly loves and spend the rest of her life with him.

The rich woman's wish was so simple and unpretentious.

"Sister Cha, tell me honestly, did you hire someone to write smear articles to smear me? Saying I have bad skin and look like a man, did you have these articles written?"

Gao Yuanyuan is Dilraba's prime suspect.

"Who said you have bad skin or look like a man? Although I don't want to admit it, your skin is pretty good and your features are also very nice. You're only a little bit less attractive than me."

Gao Yuanyuan's feelings towards Dilraba are now very complicated.

On one hand, she was extremely jealous of Reba and wished she could curse Reba to go insane and leave Lu Zhiyuan on her own initiative.

On the other hand, she was very restrained and didn't want to offend Reba... because if she offended Reba, Lu Zhiyuan's impression of her would also become very bad.

"Sister Cha, you really know how to flatter yourself. How could you possibly be better than me when you were 20?"

Gao Yuanyuan, who was 20 years old, was completely unknown and had poor makeup skills.

Dilraba is no stranger to this; what was Gao Yuanyuan like at 20 years old in film and television dramas?

The only thing the two women have in common is that 20-year-old Gao Yuanyuan liked director Teng Huatao.

20-year-old Dilraba couldn't resist either, but Lu Zhiyuan didn't give her a chance and directly announced her official appointment!
"Reba, I don't want to argue with you about this. Anyway, stop sending me money."

Dilraba gave Gao Yuanyuan money, making it seem like Gao Yuanyuan had found a goddaughter, with the other party finding excuses to give her money every few days.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

She was terrified that Dilraba would bring Lu Zhiyuan along and call her godmother, otherwise she would really explode!
“I know you want my husband to send you money so you can stay tied together for life. But you’re overthinking it; he’s already found a new leading lady.”

"However, that person is not you."

After Reba finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Dilraba doesn't know about other men.

However, Dilraba was fully aware of Lu Zhiyuan's special preference for the female lead.

He always preferred to have teenage girls as the leading ladies in movies... Back then, when she was 17, she was showered with Lu Zhiyuan's affection, and he took her with him every day.

It's like raising a girlfriend, and it's also like raising a daughter.

In short, Lu Zhiyuan was extremely considerate and caring towards her... In Lu Zhiyuan's heart, Liu Yifei was not even one ten-thousandth as good as her!

Which girl wouldn't have subtle thoughts when she encounters a man like this?

Previously, Reba had not noticed Lu Zhiyuan's special preferences.

However, during this time, she stayed at home alone and watched the Real Steel series over and over again.

The problem has finally been discovered.

"Alita, the battle angel, will always love her body. Every year, she gets a completely new body."

"Ha ha……"

Dilraba chuckled softly, a self-deprecating laugh escaping her lips.

This is a very memorable scene from the movie "Pacific Rim".

However, in reality, this was not Alita's thought at all, but a true reflection of director Lu Zhiyuan's inner thoughts!

However, there will always be young girls in this world!

It used to be her, now it's Zhang Ruonan!
The third generation of Lu Girl!

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a fourth and fifth generation in the future.

……

Inside the art studio on the 3rd floor.

"Brother Yuan, your drawing is so beautiful. I can't describe how I feel right now..."

Zhang Ruonan visits Lu Zhiyuan's home at a set time every day.

Sometimes, Lu Zhiyuan would explain art appreciation to her, and sometimes he would draw concept diagrams in front of her.

These concept art drawings are absolutely beautiful.

Zhang Ruonan was constantly struck by spiritual shocks, feeling as if the first 17 years of her life had been wasted.

I have never encountered such a high-quality human male before!
"A paradise as beautiful as a dream."

"This is the style of the Hudson River School."

"Someone once said that the style of this school of painting is more magnificent and romantic than Hollywood movies."

"I agree with that."

"Look at this painting... all things flourish and decline, serene and composed. It is truly the epitome of beauty."

The movie "Godzilla" is a disaster movie.

But Lu Zhiyuan didn't want to make this disaster film in a gray and cold tone.

The gray and cool color scheme is too common for shooting disaster movies; it has no unique features whatsoever.

He did the exact opposite!

Use the most magnificent and romantic natural scenery to film disaster movies.

Only such a beautiful natural environment is worthy of human protection, and worthy of Godzilla, the balancer of nature, to guard it like an ancient god.

Godzilla is not protecting human civilization, but this magnificent world!
The natural scenery is magnificent and captivating.

Only industrial areas used by humans would have that kind of hazy filter.

A comparison before and after is more convincing!

In Lu Zhiyuan's films, he is very adept at using visual contrast and disparity to create atmosphere and convey emotions.

"Brother Yuan, you draw so well."

Today, Zhang Ruonan spent two hours in Lu Zhiyuan's studio, where she witnessed Lu Zhiyuan meticulously recreating the painting "Rocky Mountains" stroke by stroke.

She couldn't describe how she felt at that moment.

In short, she was tempted.

At this moment, Zhang Ruonan stared intently at the painting, then at Lu Zhiyuan's dashing figure, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Yuan, after the movie is finished, could you give me this painting?"

"It depends on your performance."

Lu Zhiyuan turned around and looked at Zhang Ruonan, then smiled.

Although he can imitate painters from any school in the world and make proportional copies, there are still differences in skill level among these paintings.

For example, this painting, "The Rocky Mountains," is technically superb.

Especially the ethereal effect of light penetrating clouds and mist, the warm golden effect created by the fusion of sunlight and fog... This sense of sacredness and natural poetry is something that ordinary people can paint.

Few painters in history have been able to do this!
This is the pinnacle of realist romanticism!

If Lu Zhiyuan only needed to use 1% of his skills to imitate Picasso's "Guernica", then he would need to use at least 90% of his skills to imitate this painting!
"Brother Yuan, whatever you ask, I will definitely do it. Even if you ask me to parachute from 10,000 meters, I can definitely do it!"

As a third-generation "Road Girl," Zhang Ruonan had inquired about the deeds of her two predecessors.

Let's leave Hanikezi aside for now.

As the first generation of Lu Girl, Dilraba was thrown into the sea by Lu Zhiyuan's men during a typhoon and torrential rain.

This story has evolved to the point where countless versions have emerged, spreading from Weizhou Island to the rest of the world.

Weizhou Island has thus become a mecca for countless science fiction fans around the world.

To this day, the island sees the most visitors every summer when a typhoon is approaching. These are movie fans from all over the world who come on a pilgrimage to the spot where Alita transforms, ready to brave the storm!

"Words are fragile. Now, I'll see how you perform."

During the two months that Lu Zhiyuan was away filming, Zhang Ruonan, under Zhang Tianai's arrangement, hired several acting teachers and learned some basic acting skills.

In addition, she lost weight very successfully, down to about 84 pounds, which met Lu Zhiyuan's requirements for her on camera.

"Brother Yuan, I have another question. Can you tell me why you chose me and not Liu Yifei?"

As a die-hard fan of Lu Zhiyuan, Zhang Ruonan was well aware that Liu Yifei and Lu Zhiyuan had a very good relationship.

However, Lu Zhiyuan never took Liu Yifei to film a movie.

Zhang Ruonan was unaware of the previous circumstances and didn't want to ask too many questions.

However, Lu Zhiyuan himself told her that the movie "Godzilla" required finding an angel.

Doesn't Liu Yifei look like an angel?

"Liu Yifei is wonderful. At 17, she was the most perfect angel in my heart. But she is 26 years old this year."

"It's already too late."

"No longer suitable to be the female lead in my movies."

"There's not so much innocence left in her eyes... and I need to keep giving close-ups of the female lead's eyes in this movie."

"I've told you about that feeling... Godzilla's cold, bloodthirsty, terrifying eyes of the strongest predator."

"On the other hand, my heroine, that is, you, has a pair of round, big eyes, a gentle, doe-like gaze, and an unadorned purity—the unpolluted goodwill of human civilization."

"Moreover, your small size makes the visual contrast with the behemoth Godzilla very striking."

"I love this contrast with its highs and lows!"

"Liu Yifei is a little lacking. She has a cold and stubborn face, which is suitable for playing peerless powerhouses and ethereal sword immortals."

After saying all that, Lu Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Ruonan's pure and lovely face and couldn't help but say, "Actually, you are more suitable to play King Kong."

"But it doesn't matter."

"You can play the female lead in 'Godzilla vs. Kong' as well."

After Lu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he turned around and began to explain the characteristics of the Hudson River School of painting to Zhang Ruonan.

Grand scenes, dramatic lighting, and a romanticism full of realism!

This also involves some aspects of nature worship and ecological awareness.

The theme of the movie "Godzilla" is also related to the destruction of the natural environment, prompting humanity to repent and reflect.

"Xiao Nan, don't worry, I will make this movie even more beautiful than 'The Lord of the Rings'."

"I can do most of the things that Peter Jackson can do."

Lu Zhiyuan obtained Peter Jackson's complete epic fantasy aesthetic, which was more than enough to film "Godzilla".

In addition, he possesses Roland Emmerich's destructive aesthetics, making him a perfect match for disaster films.

Now, all that's left is the script!

If someone can help him with the script... he can turn Godzilla into an epic disaster movie!
……

Lu Zhiyuan was there, excitedly imagining the amazing scenes that would appear in the movie "Godzilla".

He didn't see that Zhang Ruonan was standing behind him, her eyes fixed on his back, and he couldn't hear what she was saying.

I just felt... my heart flutter!

"It's over."

"I, the third-generation streetwalker, suffer from the same disease as the first-generation streetwalker downstairs."

"There is only one effective treatment for this disease."

Others may not know, but Lu Zhiyuan's original girlfriend was Jing Tian. Zhang Ruonan witnessed Jing Tian and Dilraba's public feud.

At that moment, she seemed to see her future.
