I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

He used his room key to open the door and went inside, followed by Chen Kaige and Gillian Chung.

Chen Kai glanced around the room, his expression somewhat surprised.

Why is the room so spotless?
Wasn't it supposed to be an audition with actresses?

Even if the process wasn't extremely messy, it certainly wouldn't be this tidy!
Although Chen Kai was puzzled, he did not show it.

"Please have a seat, both of you."

After Cheng Sheng finished speaking, he sat down on one of the sofas.

Chen Kaige and Gillian Chung also sat down.

"Director Cheng, Twins are playing the two female leads in the movie. What are your thoughts on this?" Chen Kai asked.

Cheng Sheng glanced at Gillian Chung and said with a smile, "No objection. They fit the image of the two female leads in the movie very well. I just don't know if Miss Zhong will be able to let loose during her performance."

Chen Kai understood what Cheng Sheng meant. He had studied the script for several days and could recite it from memory.

According to the script, both female leads have scenes involving nudity, kissing, hugging, and even touching; there are several such scenes in the script.

Moreover, there are passionate scenes between the two female leads.

This would absolutely not pass censorship in China.

To pass censorship, some scenes need to be removed.

Fortunately, Cheng Sheng had told Chen Hong that the movie would be divided into two versions.

One version was designed to pass censorship in China, while the other version contained nothing that had been removed.

Furthermore, the filming location cannot be in mainland China.

Because this type of subject matter cannot be filmed in the country.

This subject matter can be considered taboo.

in the country, it is extremely difficult for this type of subject matter to pass censorship.

Therefore, Cheng Sheng did not plan to film the movie in mainland China.

It would be more suitable to place it on Hong Kong Island.

Once filming is complete, Chen Kai will create two versions: an edited version that can be released in mainland China, and a complete version.

The complete version was submitted to the three major European awards exhibitions.

Although the two members of Twins are adults, they look really young, especially Cai Zhuoyan, who could easily be mistaken for a little girl.

Given their relationship, it would be very appropriate for them to star in this movie.

Of course, it would be great if Gillian Chung didn't have any scandals next year.

However, he only wrote the script for Chen Kaige, and after that, the movie had nothing to do with him.

Even if there's a landmine, he won't suffer any loss.

"Director Cheng, you're the screenwriter for this film. Could you tell me about some things to keep in mind during filming?" Chen Kaige continued to ask.

"As long as Director Chen follows the script, everything will be fine," Cheng Sheng said calmly.

Chen Kaige looked somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. He had originally intended to take this opportunity to see if he could revise the script.

But Cheng Sheng's resolute stance suggests that rewriting the script is impossible. "I have nothing to say about the filming, but I do have a few words to say to Gillian regarding the actors' performances."

Upon hearing Cheng Sheng mention her, Gillian Chung's eyes lit up, and she respectfully said, "Director Cheng, please give me your guidance."

"Performing is not about nudity, it's about revealing the soul..."

Cheng Sheng was somewhat worried that Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi wouldn't be able to handle their acting skills well, and would turn the daring 'art' into a clichéd 'desire'.

If that's the case, then this movie won't win any awards; it'll probably be considered an erotic film.

Cheng Sheng had seen this movie in another memory.

The first impression Cheng Sheng got from the movie was undoubtedly the fully committed performances of the two actresses.

Among them, Adele Exarchopoulos, who played Adele, delivered what is perhaps one of the greatest and most "naked" performances in film history.

Please note that the "boldness" mentioned here goes far beyond the physical presentation.

Adele Exarchopoulos's boldness lies in her ability to lay bare the entire inner world of an ordinary girl in front of the camera, like opening a diary.

Viewers can see her voracious appetite (she's eating almost all the time), her clumsy yet yearning eyes, her intoxication with passion, and even more so, her overwhelming, uncontrollable breakdown and tears when she loses love.

Every crying scene she performs is not just "acting" to cry, but truly emptying herself, letting the sadness seep out from every pore.

Especially in the latter part of the film, the scene where the character walks through a crowd while tears flow uncontrollably will make you forget that this is a performance—what you are seeing is a soul being publicly executed.

This performance transcends technique and enters a realm of "embodiment." She is not playing Adele; she *is* Adele.

It is this almost self-destructive sincerity that makes all discussions about "boundaries" seem superficial.

Because the physical scale serves the emotional scale, what we see is not sensationalism, but the most vulnerable and authentic form of life.

The film tells not just a same-sex love story, but a story about "misplacement".

Adele's world is sensual, physical, and full of everyday life (the film uses numerous close-ups to depict her eating, sleeping, and kissing).

Emma's world is rational, spiritual, and surrounded by art and philosophy.

The film subtly hints at this divide through visual language: Adele always wears blue, symbolizing her melancholy and ordinariness; Emma's blonde hair, on the other hand, is like a halo, representing the elite and artistic class she belongs to.

They can have the most passionate physical contact, but in their spiritual living room, there is always a transparent glass separating them.

Adele couldn't truly fit into Emma's salon gatherings, where the lively discussions made her feel out of place; and Emma couldn't understand the simple yet profound needs within Adele's heart.

These class and cultural differences eventually eroded the seemingly solid love little by little.

The profoundness of this film lies in its message that sometimes love cannot overcome not gender, but the entire world behind each individual.

"Blue Is the Warmest Color" is a mirror; it reflects not the sensational, but the common emotions about love, loneliness, growth, and loss that each of us may experience.

It hurts you because it's real.

Therefore, if Twins want to portray this feeling, their acting skills absolutely cannot be lacking; at the very least, they cannot be worse than the original two female leads.

When performing, one must set aside "limits" and bring out the souls of the two female leads.

Then this movie will definitely reach the level of the original work, or even surpass it.

Cheng Sheng analyzed the two characters in the movie, and Gillian listened very attentively.

She knew that if she played this role well, she could take her career to the next level. (End of Chapter)
