Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 54 54. Fengyue is just Fengyue (please follow up)

The closed window was opened, and the breeze after the rain flew in from the window, bringing with it a stream of moisture, and immediately took away the sultry air in the house.

Gong Li sat on the edge of the bed and glanced at the dark sky outside the window, then turned her attention to the oil painting by the window that had not yet dried.

Under the dim light, the oil paint on the canvas glowed dimly.

Gong Li walked to the painting and looked at Mr. Zhou in the painting. She felt like an elf under the moon, pure and sacred.

Mr. Zhou in peacetime is completely two people!

"Did you draw this?" Gong Li turned to look at Chen Li'an.

Gong Li was a little surprised by Chen Li'an's paintings. She always thought that Chen Li'an was just an actor, but she didn't expect that Chen Li'an could also be a painter, and he could paint so well!

As a literary and art worker, Gong Li's artistic quality and aesthetics are very good. She can see that this painting is good, and it is better than many paintings she has seen.

Chen Li'an's image in Gong Li's eyes seems to be taller now.

Chen Li'an hummed, then picked up the cigarette case on the bedside and took out a white stick and lit it.

The green smoke rising slowly from the cigarette end was gently carried away by the breeze in the room and floated out the window.

Gong Li looked at the painting in front of her and felt a little envious. She didn't know whether she was envious of Mr. Zhou's treatment or the beauty in the painting.

"You can also draw one for me." Gong Li turned her head and looked into Chen Li'an's eyes and said.

Chen Li'an hit his head with his fingers holding the cigarette and said: "It's empty, no inspiration."

Gong Li chuckled and stood up and walked to Chen Li'an, put her hand on his shoulder and smelled the smell of smoke in the air.

"It doesn't look like it to me. You must have some inspiration." Gong Li smiled and said to Chen Li'an, "If you don't have any inspiration, just stimulate it."

Chen Li'an: "..."

Gong Li raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Chen Li'an, her eyes like hooks.

Just when their eyes were about to collide, Master Zhou's voice suddenly came from the bathroom.

"The faucet seems to be broken and there is no water."

Chen Li'an and Gong Li looked at each other, and then immediately took a step back.

Mr. Zhou came out of the bathroom again and saw where Chen Li'an and Gong Li were standing. His eyes swept over Chen Li'an slightly, and then he couldn't help but spat: "What are you two talking about?"

"Sister Gong Li, it's so late, you should go back!" Mr. Zhou calmed down and began to chase people away.

Gong Li: "..." I just called you sister! Just kick them out now, the little sister is not cute at all!

After ten minutes of dilly-dallying, Gong Li was driven away by Mr. Zhou. As soon as Gong Li left, Mr. Zhou immediately pounced on Chen Li'an.

"You're quite capable, aren't you! Do you like your sister that much?" Mr. Zhou grabbed Chen Li'an's hand and squeezed it, and said mercilessly.

"Don't slander me, or I'll get angry!"

"Get angry if you can!"

"Just send it!"

As soon as Chen Li'an got angry, Mr. Zhou immediately surrendered and surrendered.

It’s really fun and fun!

But Chen Li'an likes to bully honest people! I just like to see her stubborn little expression when she wants to resist but can't.

…

After this small episode, Chen Li'an's life returned to peace again, but it was just calm on the surface.

I go to the studio at midnight every morning and let Director Cheng do the bidding, performing all kinds of weird expressions in front of the camera.

In the evening, after finishing work and returning to the hotel, I ran in both directions. After dealing with Mr. Zhou, I ran to paint Gong Li. After painting, I went back to my room to sleep.

But this peaceful and busy life will soon come to an end.

It is now November, the weather in Suzhou has become colder, and the flowers and plants in the Pang family's mansion have become listless.

Many scenes can no longer be filmed and we have to wait until next spring to continue.

Chen Li'an felt quite helpless. It took so long to make a movie. It was not because of poor performance by the actors, nor because of the director's technique. It was simply because of the director's brain.

According to the plan, the crew will be temporarily disbanded in two days. They will reunite in March next year and go directly to Shanghai for filming. They will return to the Pang family mansion to continue filming in May.

After filming that day, Leslie Cheung took the initiative to invite Chen Li'an and the others to have a drink together.

Chen Li'an was naturally willing to drink from Zhang Guorong. He returned to the hotel in the evening and took a shower before going to his room.

Tonight seemed to be a party for the actors. Director Cheng and Du Kefen were not there, maybe they were taking photos in their own rooms.

Gong Li, Mr. Zhou, and He Saifei have all arrived. Originally, Zhang Guorong invited several old actors from the movie to come with him, but they are old and do not want to drink red wine with young people.

Zhang Guorong's room is the largest in the hotel. Producer Xu Feng takes special care of Zhang Guorong and provides the best treatment possible within all conditions.

Although it was not Chen Li'an's first time here, he was still a little envious when he looked at the spacious and bright room. The gap between people was sometimes wider than the gap between people and dogs.

The room given to him by the crew was a shared standard room. Chen Li'an is still paying for a single room at his own expense. Fortunately, the salary was high enough, 15,000 yuan, otherwise he would have to pay for the movie himself.

A few people sat drinking and chatting for a while, and suddenly they talked about movies.

Zhang Guorong suddenly asked: "Do you think this movie can still win an award?"

Everyone knew that Leslie Cheung was talking about winning the award in Cannes, not other awards, but they were all a little unsure and didn't speak for a while.

Director Cheng was not here, so there was no need to deliberately flatter him, so I felt a little unconfident.

Only Chen Li'an took a sip of wine and said directly: "There is no chance of winning the prize."

Everyone was a little surprised by Chen Li'an's forthrightness. Only Zhang Guorong was not surprised. He looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Why do you say that? Is it because we didn't perform well?"

Chen Li'an shook his head and said: "It's not that the acting was bad, it's that this movie didn't meet the standards of an excellent movie from beginning to end."

The script is not solid, the characters are frivolous, and the emotions are distorted. All the emotional tension is only shown through the hazy lens of the photographer.

If the characters don't stand up and the story doesn't flow, what's the use of the beautiful shots?

How can a movie like this win an award?

Chen Li'an's sharp words silenced everyone, and they actually felt this way in their hearts.

Especially Zhang Guorong and Gong Li, they had the deepest feelings. The feeling when filming Hua Yue was completely different from that when filming Farewell My Concubine.

The quality of a movie can actually be felt during the filming process.

Not only the director can feel it, but the actor can also feel it naturally. He will have a very clear feeling about whether the role he plays is good or not.

Zhang Guorong feels that for the character he plays, he has tried his best to make him more real and make his emotions more rational, but in the end it will still give him a strong sense of emptiness and awkwardness.

The same goes for Gong Li. She often feels like she is acting like a demented pervert rather than a feudal eldest lady awakening to women's rights.

There is nothing about women's rights in the whole movie. The only thing related to women's rights is that Linglong takes charge, seducing Zhongqiu and Zhongren, and then rejecting Zhongqiu and Zhongren.

If this is considered women's rights, it's really ridiculous.

In the final analysis, Hanazuki is just Fengyue and has nothing to do with anything else.

Despite such a strong sense of awkwardness, Gong Li and Zhang Guorong still acted according to the script and requirements of Director Cheng.

Because in Director Cheng's words, this movie seems to be completely different from what they acted. The story told by Director Cheng is very profound.

Zhang Guorong and Gong Li once thought that they did not understand the director's intention and that their acting was not good enough.

But now after what Chen Li'an said, they all understood a little bit, and it was inevitable that they felt a little angry and disappointed.

"This movie is Director Cheng's personal plaything. We, including the rest of the crew, are just tools for Director Cheng, so don't expect any awards."

Chen Li'an's last words were like a thorn, piercing into the hearts of several people.

The party ended in a hurry, and everyone was in a bad mood, except Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an had understood it a long time ago, so he had no other feelings. He only had one thought in his mind, and he would never cooperate with Director Cheng again.

After coming out of Zhang Guorong's room, Gong Li was walking in front and suddenly looked back at Chen Li'an and said, "Go and finish the painting tonight."

"No! I'm leaving tomorrow, and he wants to accompany me!" Mr. Zhou immediately hugged Chen Li'an's arm and said.

He Saifei, who was about to leave, looked at the three of them with complicated eyes. Their relationship was so complicated and exciting that I wanted to gossip about it.

There is one more chapter, I will update it later, I just got home to have some food.
