Everyone talked one after another, as if they all recalled the movies they had seen in their childhood.

But the people who chatted were limited to those who were about the same age as the godfather. Others, like John, Sonny, and Mike, seemed to be a little out of touch with the topic.

"I remember when I was little, in Italy, my dad brought back a TV."

"He said to me, boy, look what good things those scientists have brought us."

"A color TV, with it, we can see more colors on TV, the same colors as in reality."

The godfather said with an innocent smile on his face.

"So I naively asked my father."

"I said, Dad, even if we want to see the colors in reality, why should we buy a TV and just watch the garden, where there are more colors."

After speaking, everyone laughed.

"At the beginning, TV was bought back, but there are still few movies in color, except for some advertisements."

"So a large number of people began to complain and report, thinking that they bought a useless product at home."

"So in order to stop losses, the color TV companies united to form a movie company."

"They made quite a few movies, but with all due respect, that's when the movie era started to suck."

Chapter 159 Asking You to Be the Leading Role

After dinner, the godfather arranged rooms for Ye Heng and Timis so that they would not have to go back.

Ye Heng sat in the godfather's garden, looking at the flowers outside, without thinking about what the godfather and others said at the dinner table.

With the popularization of color TV and the decline of black-and-white movies, color TV companies invested in and shot surprisingly bad color movies in order to prevent customers from returning the products.

When all these were connected, he connected the information he had received before, and he seemed to gradually understand why the film industry in this world is rotten.

The film history of this world, during the period of black and white films, is still the same as the world Ye Heng lived in before.

The watershed came during the color film era, and that's when things started to change.

After the birth of color TV, a large number of speculators spotted the market and mass-produced such TV sets, making them put into thousands of households.

But when consumers get color TV sets, they find that there are no color movies and programs to watch.

This is like buying a mobile phone that claims to be able to use the 2G network in the 4G era, but after buying it, it is exactly the same as my current clamshell phone.

So they started refunding, complaining, refusing to buy color TVs.

In order to appease consumers, and more importantly, to prevent their own interests, color TV manufacturers united and established a film company.

But at this time, consumers' rebelliousness has reached its peak, and they don't have time to shoot a few good movies.

So I simply made a few color movies crudely and put them on the TV.

When people saw the color movie on TV, they were stunned.

Although the quality of these movies is extremely poor, compared to black and white movies, color movies still have a dimensionality reduction effect on the screen.

The audience accepted this kind of movie with poor plot but better picture expression.

Ever since, film practitioners seem to have received a signal.

After entering the era of color movies, people only want to watch the picture, not the plot.

Under this kind of wrong guidance, the movie of this world is deviated from the right track.

Of course, all of this is just Ye Heng's imagination after all.

Whether this is the real reason, no one knows.

At that time, almost all the materials have been found, and there is no way to prove it.

But what Ye Heng knows is that he can rely on his own strength to bring the movies in this world back on track bit by bit.

"Hi, Ye Heng."

Adrian walked behind Ye Heng at some point and patted Ye Heng on the shoulder.

"How did you come?"

"I'm here to talk to you about the topics we haven't finished talking about."

Adrian dragged a chair and sat next to Ye Heng.

"You, really want to be an actor?"

"Don't you like your current job?"

Hearing this, Adrian sighed.

"In the beginning, I actually liked it, the feeling of superiority."

"It's as if the whole world wants to bow down to you, and no one dares to tell you what to do."

"But after a few years, I gradually discovered that this line of work is not suitable for me."

"Those murders and smuggling jobs, they used to stimulate my nerves, but now they are as ordinary as eating and drinking, and I feel that all these are meaningless."

A helpless smile appeared on his face.

"I want to try another life, to try my childhood wish, to be an actor."

"I can't say for sure whether this life is better, but I think I'll have to try."

At this moment, he turned his head to look at Ye Heng with a smile on his face.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you think I'm not suitable."

"I don't want to ruin a good movie because of the wrong person."

"After all, you are my favorite director."

But Ye Heng shook his head immediately.

"No, you are the most suitable person to be an actor I have ever seen!"

"If you come to the film industry, you will definitely shine!"

Ye Heng said it, but it was not a compliment, but from the bottom of his heart.

He suddenly remembered a movie, which also criticized the beautiful country, and the movie itself was of high quality, and Adrian's temperament fit the protagonist in it.

"You don't have to make me laugh."

Adrian didn't think that Ye Heng was really praising him, after all, he had never studied acting at all, and he didn't have any works.

But Ye Heng shook his head again.

"I mean seriously, I'd like you to star in my next movie if you want."

Adrian was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Ye Heng with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"Is what you said true?"

"It's true."

"But I haven't made a movie, and I don't even know how to make a movie."

"Those are secondary issues. As long as you are willing to do it, the rest is just left to time."

Looking at Ye Heng's sincere eyes, Adrian was stunned.

Originally, he just wanted Ye Heng to arrange for him a small role or something, to play soy sauce, to experience this kind of life.

But in the end, Ye Heng turned around and asked him to be the hero, which was too sudden.

But after thinking for a long time, he nodded.

"Okay, let me try."

Adrian replied in such an unashamed manner at the same time.

You know, just a few months ago, the godfather arranged for him to go to Birmingham to deal with the new gang forces there.

At that time, he answered immediately without any hesitation.

But now, when faced with Ye Hengcheng's invitation to star in a movie, he suddenly became timid.

"By the way, what is the movie about?"

Adrian didn't want to disappoint Ye Heng's trust, he wanted to try to get familiar with Ye Heng's movies first, so as to prepare for the future shooting.

"Pure drama."

"Oh, sounds good, so what kind of person is my character?"

"It's a calm one, teacher. Let me think about how to describe it to you." Ye Heng thought.

"Let me tell you this, he always treats other people's provocations with an indifferent attitude. Even if the student throws your handbag out, you will not feel angry."

"I'm cowardly?"

"No, it's not cowardice, but a feeling of being neither humble nor overbearing."

"Not humble or arrogant?"

"The protagonist feels that anger is useless, it's just a way of venting, but after venting, nothing will change."

"The student smashed the bag on the ground, but it didn't do anything, it didn't hurt the main character, it didn't hurt anyone, the bag was empty, the bag didn't feel anything, and it didn't hurt."

"And he himself has no emotion to be hurt by others."

After listening to Ye Heng's narration, Adrian was suddenly at a loss.

He suddenly felt that he could not understand the heart of this character, let alone how to interpret this character.

Chapter 160 Interview

"It seems that I underestimated the profession of this actor too much before." Adrian said, with a helpless smile on his face.

Ye Heng also smiled, "It's okay. Wait until I send you the script in two days, and then you are slowly exploring the characters."

"It just so happens that I'm going back to Dragon Kingdom for a month, and this month should be enough for you to explore."

Adrian nodded, but he still had no idea.

He always felt that even in a month, he couldn't thoroughly understand that character's heart.

Especially when Ye Heng said that sentence, "And he himself has no emotion that can be hurt by others." He felt that the complexity of this character had surpassed reality.

"I'll do my best." Adrian smiled helplessly.

He planned to wait for Ye Heng's script to start exploring the characters immediately.

Only in this way can he feel that he has a slight possibility of understanding the characters.

Back at the hotel, Ye Heng was about to fall asleep, but just as he closed his eyes, the phone rang.

"Ye Heng, when did you book your flight ticket?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Roland's voice came from there.

"A ticket to return home? Three days later, what's the matter?"

"Then what are you going to do in the next two days?"

"It should be fine, what's wrong?"

"Then the night after tomorrow, can you come for an interview?"

"Interview?"

"Well, your movie has already aroused some public opinion, but the Donkey Party has responded very quickly and has already started to suppress it with all its strength."

"We want to arrange someone to do an interview, so that we can push the heat up."

Hearing this, Ye Heng had a helpless expression on his face.

To be honest, he really didn't want to engage in these things.

Another public opinion war and various problems.

But he also said just now that he was fine, so he could only sigh and agree.

"Okay, then call me then."
