"Chloe! Hey! Chloe! Wait," a white man in his sixties was panting after a woman with a beautiful back in the parking lot, "Are you still angry about voting?"

"No, Fabio, you are the chairman, you have the final say." The woman finally stopped and turned around.Different from the bumpy figure, the woman's face already looked old, especially in the dimly lit parking lot, the fine wrinkles covered by the strong light all ran out.But the strange thing is that even so, it cannot conceal the beauty of this white woman named Chloe.Time did not take away her beauty, but endowed it with the magic of time, giving it a mature charm that a young girl cannot possess.

Fabio Esposito, chairman of the jury of the 74th Cannes Film Festival, stood in front of the famous actress from country F, Chloe Lefebre, clasped her hands and made a prayer gesture: "Three consecutive years The votes are divided evenly, and I have to make a choice."

Chloe Lefeble curled her lips: "So you chose the one you like."

"I chose the one that I don't think will improve any more," Fabio Esposito looked at the woman who was hailed as the rose of country F, and explained patiently, "The young man in Hua country, he is still young, And you have to admit that he still has shortcomings. If we put the jewel of Cannes actor in his crown now, what else can he pursue in life? Don't forget how many young Cannes Actors, their acting careers are almost cut off, and there are very few who can return to the big screen."

Chloe Lefeble was silent for a while, then sighed: "Well, you convinced me Fabio."

"Great! Then you won't refuse my dinner invitation?"

Chloe Lefebre raised her eyebrows: "I thought Italian men would be more tactful."

"No, no, no, we are all opportunists. It is our motto not to let go of any opportunity," Fabio Esposito said, raising his left arm. "Is that okay?"

Chloe Lefeble smiled and took his arm: "Why not?"

***

Li Yue found that there was something wrong with Fei Ran who came back from the Cannes Film Festival.This kind of wrongness is not the disappointment and annoyance of missing the award, but a very inexplicable self-doubt and denial.

Because the crew of "Prehistoric" moved all of Fei Ran's scenes back, Fei Ran, who returned from Cannes, did not leave for Hengdian right away, but got two days off.In the past two days, Fei Ran has hardly stepped out of the audio-visual room, and has been watching a movie, "Returning Home" repeatedly.

Sensing that his lover's mood was not right, Li Yue also resolutely turned down his job and stayed with him at home.After watching "Returning Home" countless times, Li Yue could almost count the wrinkles on the supporting actor's face, Feiran finally broke the silence.

"How do you think he's doing?"

Li Yue looked at the back of the lover's head in his arms, and then at the only light source in the dark room - Zhou Guang, the supporting actor on the big screen, was squatting melancholy outside the rental house, sucking his cigarette butt, and concluded concisely: "It's very Well, it's true."

After a while, Fei Ran looked at the actor Zhou Wenbin who appeared on the screen and asked, "What about him?"

"It's also very good." On the screen, Zhou Wenbin had a fierce argument with his father just now. His unscrupulous words hurt Zhou Guang deeply, but he also exposed his suppressed emotions for many years. A furious little beast ran amok in the room, but curled up in the quilt after a while, suppressing howling and crying loudly.

It was obviously such a depressing plot, but Feiran laughed. He turned around in Li Yue's arms, sat sideways on his lap, leaned against the armrest of the sofa, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "If everything is fine, then why One became the best actor of Cannes, but the other didn't?"

So the crux still lies in Cannes Best Actor?Li Yue is not familiar with such a Feiran. In his perception, Feiran is a person who pursues self-affirmation far more than external affirmation. For him, his own progress is the most important thing, and external praise is just icing on the cake.Moreover, he missed out on Best Actor in Cannes, so is there any inevitable connection with whether the two main and supporting roles in "Returning Home" won the award?

Although Feiran's question was out of reach, Li Yue did not fool around casually, but after careful consideration, he replied cautiously: "Maybe it's because of the different appeal?"

Feiran's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What's the difference?"

"If I had to describe it, it would probably be a sense of empathy? The supporting actor who plays Zhou Guang has superb acting skills. From expressions to body language, he fully expresses the character's inner world. I can see his sorrow and feel his pain." Depressed and struggling, but after all, I haven't experienced his life, so I can't empathize with him."

"And Zhou Wenbin's experience is also unfamiliar to me, but he can touch similar emotions. Although the reasons for the depression and grievance when I was young are fundamentally different, the emotions are similar. His performance can remind me of myself. The emotional memory at that age is more contagious than that of Zhou Guang."

Feiran has always known that there is a gap between himself and Yi Ming, this gap is like the difference between a classmate and a genius - most people can become a student through hard work; no matter how hard they try, ordinary people cannot become genius.Fei Ran is a learning actor. He learns his growth nutrition from daily life and watching other people's performances. Every step he takes today is the result of more than 20 years of hard work; Yi Ming is a natural actor. His empathy ability Extremely strong, can quickly enter the role, which is commonly referred to as entering the play.

For Feiran, every character he creates is like constructing a living person in his mind, and he will learn the behavior of this person in his mind, and then express it.For Yi Ming, he is this character. During filming, he will discard all the traits that do not fit the character.When he was on the set of "Returning Home", whether he was filming or not, Yi Ming was the taciturn and rebellious Zhou Wenbin.

This kind of talent cannot be learned by others, and there is no way to learn it.

Li Yue explained the gap between the two with one word. Instead of being angry, Fei Ran asked happily, "What about me? Compared with the actor who played Zhou Guang, who is better at acting? Don't compliment me, tell the truth." !"

Li Yue smiled: "Okay, to be honest," he tilted his head and thought for a while, "Your acting skills are better than his. In the first half of "From the Galaxy Beyond the Galaxy", you were on par with Zhou Guang, but at the end, You pointed at the starry sky and looked back and smiled, which reminded me of how I felt before the Spring Festival every year when I was studying abroad alone."

It should have been a happy answer, but Feiran fell silent.He leaned on Li Yue's shoulder, recalling every bit of what happened when he was filming "From the Galaxy Beyond the Galaxy", he was dazzled.

This state continued until he entered the group "Prehistoric", so the consequences were also very serious-very few NG's were outstanding, and they actually got stuck.

"Ka! Take a break for 10 minutes!" Zhang Bailu raised the loudspeaker and called Ka with a headache. Seeing Feiran who was clearly out of his mind, he sighed.

"Did something happen at home?" Lin Xuan asked.

Zhang Bailu said, "Didn't you watch the news? Fei Ran was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival but didn't win an award. I'm afraid he hasn't recovered yet."

"So depressed because you didn't win the prize? Do you think Feiran is such a person?" Lin Xuan didn't believe it.

"...Then I really don't know why. Xiao Xu, please call Feiran over here." Seeing Feiran approaching, Zhang Bailu was thinking about his words, but he didn't expect Feiran to bow and apologize as soon as he walked up to him. .

"I'm sorry, Director Zhang, because I delayed the shooting progress, I'm really sorry."

Lin Xuan asked with concern: "Did something happen? It doesn't matter if it's not convenient for you to tell. I can move your scene back and give you a few days off."

"No, nothing happened, it's my own problem..." Fei Ran said hesitantly, "I have doubts about my way of acting, I don't know if it's right for me to act like this..."

Lin Xuan was in a hurry: "What's wrong! You have been acting very well!"

Zhang Bailu waved at Lin Xuan, stopped him, and asked, "Is it because of the Cannes Film Festival?"

Fei Ran didn't shy away from this point, nodded and said: "There are factors in this aspect, but it is more because of this that I realized my own shortcomings. I used to figure out the role by myself and learn from other people's acting methods, but this road seems to be more difficult. It has come to an end. Recently, I have been thinking about whether to go for further studies, take professional acting courses, and learn theoretical knowledge systematically."

Zhang Bailu likes Feiran not only because of his good acting skills, but another important reason is that this kid is motivated.No matter when, he has never stopped learning, which is very rare among established actors.It is good for many people not to regress, but Feiran has been running on the road of pursuing performing arts.

"It's a good thing to want to go further, but forget about going to school. With your current acting skills, professional schools can't teach you much," Zhang Bailu said with a smile, "For you now, experience is more important than theoretical knowledge. Shoot more scenes, meet more people, observe and think more, and your acting skills will naturally improve."

Feiran nodded in a daze, tilting his head thoughtfully.Seeing that he didn't seem to have figured it out yet, Zhang Bailu simply called the coordinator, moved his play back, and gave Feiran a few days to rest, and put him back in the hotel for him to think about it slowly.

So after watching "Returning Home" at home in a daze, Fei Ran was in the hotel of Hengdian Film and Television Base, looking at "Returning Home" and "From the Galaxy Beyond the Galaxy" on his notebook again and lost himself in thought.
