"Da Vinci's Lover"

When Lin Chuxi saw this name, she couldn't help touching her chin. She remembered a suspense novel "The Da Vinci Code" that she had read many years ago. Back then, she ran excitedly with the secret of reading a generation of Renaissance masters. I read the book, but it turned out that there was very little about Da Vinci in it, so it might as well be renamed "The Battle for the Holy Grail".As for the name "Da Vinci's Lover", it looks more like a certain unofficial history, which attracts others to watch this unspeakable story about the peerless genius buried in the long river of time thousands of years ago.

But when Lin Chuxi finished reading the script, she couldn't tell if she was more excited or disappointed.The excitement is that he likes the script so much!I am also disappointed that this is an out-and-out Hollywood blockbuster style book, and I can't dig out any deeper connotations.The filming is just to make the audience feel refreshed, or to lament that my IQ is despised by the director and screenwriter again.

Da Vinci's Lover features Brandon as a thief, oh, or should we call him an art thief.He has patronized all the famous European museums, but has never been found, which is really the conscience of the industry.

On this day, there was a news circulating in the circles of high social circles and collectors, that is, Sotheby's Auction House will hold an auction at the end of the month, and there will be a lost painting " Lover", and before the auction, the painting will be put on display in Sotheby's UK auction gallery for all interested collectors to appreciate.

Leonardo da Vinci has a detached status in the art world, but there are not many well-preserved paintings handed down, and all of them have been stolen many times.Now unknown to the public for so many years, the sudden appearance of "The Lover" has attracted unprecedented attention and aroused many doubts. Through the identification of the painting technique, paint and canvas age of "The Lover", it can be concluded that this painting is indeed made by Leonardo da Vinci, and it is an ancient painting made in the Renaissance.

As soon as this appraisal came out, the value of "Lover" skyrocketed, and the number of people who came to Sotheby's auction hall to observe it also increased day by day.

With only one week left until the auction day, super thieves who were rubbing shoulders and preparing to steal this newly released world-famous painting also gathered in London.But Brandon, a romantic thief who hangs around London nightclubs, suddenly received a commission from a mysterious employer, asking him to steal an item hidden in Sotheby's auction house at a high price of 500 million pounds. "Lover", which has been fired so that everyone knows it, is a wooden box, a log box with rough workmanship and no collection value at all.

Brandon thought that after everyone was attracted by "The Lover", it would be very easy to steal an unknown ordinary wooden box, but unexpectedly, on the day of the theft, he ran into a colleague who also came to steal the painting, and the other party mistakenly thought that they were also Came to steal "Lover", the two sides launched an oolong battle, but the security could not be alarmed, it was extremely thrilling.When Brandon got rid of these people and arrived at the room where the wooden box was placed, he found that there were thieves who wanted to steal the box.However, the other party's method of stealing is not neat.

Brandon, an experienced thief who had molested countless art security systems, naturally KO'd this novice rookie and successfully stole the wooden box.He subconsciously felt that there might be some secret hidden in this wooden box, it was definitely a hot potato, and he had to contact the mysterious employer to hand over the wooden box.However, before Brandon and the mysterious employer meet, Brandon discovers that his hiding place has been discovered, and it is the rookie thief who is sneaking around in his hiding place.Brandon moved the hiding place several times, but was horrified to find that no matter how he hid, he could be overtaken by the other party.

The mysterious employer, the high employment fee, the mysterious wooden box, the mysterious thief, and a series of unknown things made Brandon no longer dare to act rashly.And at this time, Brandon accidentally learned that the mysterious employer who hired him was actually the enemy who had killed his friends for many years.Brandon tried to kill him several times but failed, this time the other party came to him automatically.Brandon was not considered a good person. As an art thief, although he adhered to the unspoken rules of the industry, he could not embezzle money if he helped others steal things.However, in the face of the employer who was the first to break this rule and kill the servant after getting something, Brandon didn't think he should stick to the principle stupidly.Not only did he not want to send the wooden box to the employer, but he also wanted to cheat all the commission promised to him by the employer.So Brandon forged a wooden box, intending to deceive the employer.

Brandon, who took the fake wooden box to join his employer, didn't know that what awaited him was a murderous pursuit and a more shocking truth...

When Lin Chuxi finished reading the last line of the script, David just parked his car in front of the gate of Hyde Building.Lin Chuxi was still immersed in the wonderful plot of the script, and he didn't even hear David calling him several times.

"Boss, boss?!"

"Huh? What's the matter, David."

"We're here, boss."

Lin Chuxi who came back to her senses blinked, turned off the tablet and stuffed it back into the backpack, then got out of the car.He was a little excited now, with an unstoppable smile on his face.The exhaustion all over his body disappeared after reading the script just now, and now he only feels full of energy and energy.He was not angry even when he met a few high-spirited big stars who commented on him in Hyde Building.The subsequent magazine shoots went so smoothly that the photographer said that Lin Chuxi was born to be a model.

After taking a bunch of photos and having a boring conversation with a somewhat sissy magazine reporter on the interview draft, Lin Chuxi couldn't wait to leave Hyde Building and headed straight back to the agency.

He can't wait for tomorrow, and he wants to discuss with Nancy now which movie role he should take.

If there is no accident, at this time, Nancy is usually on the seventh floor of the company building to make a theme for her next female singer's next album, including the album cover, the production and marketing of each MV after the song is confirmed channel.Lin Chuxi was not sure if Nancy had extra time.

Lin Chuxi went up to the seventh floor, and walked towards Nancy's work room amidst everyone's sincere or insincere greetings. Before reaching the door, she heard a huge "bang" from inside, like something The sound of a large object falling.The eyes of many people around were attracted.Seeing this situation, some insiders immediately got together and whispered, with mocking eyes.

Lin Chuxi quickened her pace and walked forward. Before he could knock on the door to ask what was going on, the door opened.A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a beard came out of the room. Nancy stood in the door and stared at him leaving.The man saw Lin Chuxi standing not far away watching, and gave him a rather wretched smile.Lin Chuxi scoffed, and gave him a polite smile.

Lin Chuxi had a little impression of this man. He was a lyricist and was said to be very famous. I don't know why Lin Chuxi was so famous. After all, he didn't have much experience in the European and American music circles.

"What's wrong, Nancy."

Nancy didn't speak, but just pulled Lin Chuxi into the room.As soon as she entered the door, Lin Chuxi saw the big bookshelf lying on the ground.

"Could it be that you guys fought?" Lin Chuxi couldn't believe that Nancy would fight with others in the company, even if she did, at least it wouldn't cause such a big commotion.

Nancy took out a cigarette from her bag, lit it, and sat on the rolling chair with her legs crossed to smoke, with an expression on her face that could not tell whether it was anger or ridicule.She didn't answer Lin Chuxi's question, but instead asked Lin Chuxi why he suddenly returned to the company, isn't there still an announcement to be made?

Lin Chuxi knew instantly that Nancy didn't want to talk about what happened in this room just now, he sighed, and talked with Nancy about the script very cooperatively.After Lin Chuxi babbled a lot of words weighing the pros and cons, she looked up and saw Nancy looking out the window in a daze, not knowing what she was looking at.Lin Chuxi noticed the frown at the corners of her eyes and the blue color in her eyes, and knew that she might not have slept well for several days.

"Nancy, maybe I'm too impatient. I'll come to you tomorrow. You seem to need a rest."

"No, no need." Nancy rubbed the bridge of her nose, and apologized to Lin Chuxi wearily: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, can you repeat what you just said, Gavin."

"Nancy..." Lin Chuxi was very helpless: "Okay, okay, I mean I like the book "Da Vinci's "Lover" very much, what do you think?"

"Why, don't you like that "High School Musical"? I think this film would be more suitable for you. What's more, the film crew of "Da Vinci's "Lover" has already decided on the actor, you have the choice not much."

"Well, having said that, I believe that the latter can make me perform better. I think you must have read the script of "Da Vinci's "Lover"" and know that the man described in the script The protagonist Brandon is a romantic uncle who is at least 30 years old. He is far from my temperament and appearance, and he is destined to be my character. But Nancy, you still passed the script to me, which shows that you think the script in this script There are other roles worth fighting for, aren't there? What I did was only what you thought before. If I'm not mistaken, you must think that I am suitable for the mysterious thief, don't you, my dear Nan Miss Hee."

Lin Chuxi spoke fluently and smiled confidently.Even Nancy had to show an emotional smile: "You make me unable to refute you, Gavin."

"Then there's no need to refute." Lin Chuxi said with a smile.

"I will contact the director. He wanted to invite you to play this role. It seems that I don't have to worry about you losing your temper because you can't compete for the leading role."

"God, I don't think I'm so arrogant that I don't want to play the main character!" Lin Chuxi exaggeratedly exclaimed.

"Okay, okay, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony will be in a few days, have you tried on the dress?"

"I tried it, and it feels pretty good, but Vivienne let me try on more than a dozen sets of clothes in one go, and I was exhausted."

"Vivienne is like that, you have to get used to it. Still, she is undeniably an excellent stylist."

Lin Chuxi nodded in agreement. He glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Is your work over? I'll treat you to dinner."

Nancy shook her head: "Sorry, I still have something to do, I'll treat you another day."

"It's okay, work is important." Lin Chuxi didn't force it.

After leaving, Lin Chuxi answered a phone call from Vivienne, and his stylist, Her Majesty the Queen, told him to spare time to try on the jewelry accessories that need to be worn on the red carpet. He wanted to change Lin Chuxi's hair, but Lin Chuxi solemnly refused. He said that his green hair is the symbol and characteristic.

Walking to the elevator entrance, I heard several women chatting not far away.

"Did you hear the voice from Office No. [-] just now? It's really choking."

"Nancy is probably going crazy with anger now, haha. Li Cha backtracked and refused to sing new words to Taylor, disrupting all her plans at once."

"Is Li Cha crazy? How dare he offend Nancy like this?"

"What do you know, Li Cha is now obsessed with that little bitch Miranda, probably all the brain cells that can think have turned into sperm and shot into Miranda's stomach. The most important thing is that Taylor himself is used to being arrogant and corrupt. There are so many scandals, and someone wants to punish her, wouldn't Li Cha climb up the pole?"

"Nancy herself is in a lot of trouble. I heard that Gillian is already ready to change jobs and is unwilling to sign her. Losing such an ace superstar is no different from cutting off both arms."

"In the morning, I heard from Bella that Nancy seemed to be in a divorce lawsuit with her husband. Her husband gambled badly, owed a huge amount of debt in Las Vegas, and secretly mortgaged their house in Philadelphia."

"Tsk tsk, when they got married, there was an earth-shattering disturbance, and now I don't know how many people are watching the joke of this divorce lawsuit."

……

Lin Chuxi entered the elevator calmly, not letting them realize that she heard their conversation.He was a little blocked, and his mood gradually sank.He still understands Nancy's situation more or less.From outsiders' perspective, this gold medal manager is impressive and has cultivated many big stars.But people in the industry know how old and out of date the artists in her hands are. The big stars are going to fly away when their wings are hardened, and the new seedlings are all uneasy.She has a bad personality and offended a lot of people, even in the company she doesn't have many good friends.These years have come step by step, so it goes without saying that I am physically and mentally exhausted.Both career and family are facing huge difficulties. As a woman, she may be much sadder than everyone imagined, but she didn't show it.

This kind of Nancy can't help but remind Lin Chuxi of Du Meige in her previous life. His manager also has this kind of strong woman personality, and also has a scumbag husband.

Lin Chuxi leaned on the elevator handrail, and suddenly felt a tickle in her throat, and wanted to smoke.When the elevator opened on the first floor, Lin Chuxi called David after she went out and asked him to buy a bag of lollipops.

Thinking of Du Meige, this memory is like a flood that has opened its gates, no matter how hard it can be stopped.

Sitting in the car going home, Lin Chuxi inexplicably recalled many things from the past, recalled her hometown in Hunan, recalled the good brother Shen Wenxing who was so good with him that he could wear the same pair of pants, but finally betrayed him. When he arrived at the small shabby house he rented in Beijing that leaked water in summer and air leaked in winter, he thought back to the pancake and fruit trolley shop at Yiwuyi on the side of the alley, and thought back to the night he and his first benefactor.

These things have been in his memory for more than 30 years. At first, they were chewed by Lin Chuxi repeatedly in the sea, and then he never remembered them again.Lin Chuxi regarded himself as a fish in the sea, and the memories of human Lin Chuxi were separated from his mind like his long-lost legs.And now, the legs are back, so does it mean that these not-so-good memories will come back again.

No, no, Lin Chuxi is no longer the Lin Chuxi she was back then.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuxi leaned back in the chair and slowly closed her eyes.He also has people he wants to protect, not just for money and fame.The laws of this world are always simple, the strong are respected, and strength speaks for itself.So he is different from before. If someone betrays him, hurts him, or belittles him now, he must repay the other party a hundred times and a thousand times.

***********************

The Golden Globes have always been known as the bellwether of the Oscars. Although they are regarded by the public as an Oscar appetizer, they are not neglected at all.Lin Chuxi was also someone who walked the red carpet of the Venice International Film Festival, swaying her long ponytail and waving her hands like a superstar. "Journey" was nominated for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor in the film department at the Golden Globe Awards. Although only Robert Kens won the Best Supporting Actor in the end, it still can't cut it. The arrogance of an Oscar-winning hit.Lin Chuxi's walk on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards quickly hit the headlines of major newspapers and magazines, murdering countless filmmakers. The 19-year-old Golden Globe nominee, even if he didn't win the trophy, he already has enough qualifications to look down on most actors in the United States.

However, the big game is yet to come.In mid-February, the Oscar Awards Ceremony was finally held as scheduled. The emperors and superstars from all over the world gathered together, and the eyes of the whole world were focused on Los Angeles.

On the red carpet at the awards ceremony, Lin Chuxi walked alone.Lin Chuxi had a thin waist and long legs, and was wearing a light, masculine suit tailored for him by KrisVanAssche. Under the luxurious high-tailored long skirts and solemn suits, she looked like a college student who had stumbled into an adult's social dance, but Undoubtedly, this "college student" has won everyone's attention. The other main creators of "Journeyman" all brought their female companions, while Verzhe Hicks brought his son as an ornament, but Willie Clayton's appearance can only be said to be cute , with a chubby body wrapped in a suit, like a tall director Hicks carrying a ball over.

The screams of movie fans on the edge of the red carpet came like a tide, and the photographers set up their postures one by one and frantically clicked on the flash.Lin Chuxi walked leisurely through this road made of flashing lights, a road that only superstars can walk.

He turned his head and wanted to enjoy this rage again, but unexpectedly noticed a familiar person, a familiar face.The man was handsome in a well-tailored handmade suit.With all his hair combed back, revealing his full forehead, he walked from one end of the red carpet with a smile on his face. Beside him was a middle-aged man and a woman in a floor-length tube top dress.

Lin Chuxi knew all three of these people, or it should be said that it was impossible for a Chinese not to know these three people.Who can represent the entire Chinese entertainment industry to come to the Oscars, is there anyone who is not a domestic celebrity.

The smile on the corner of Lin Chuxi's mouth gradually changed, and his eyes fell on the man sparsely, with a bit of treachery and bloodthirsty.

"Shen Wenxing, long time no see."
