Play bone

On the second day of the new year, Lu Li visited director Han Weimin's studio.

There is a small screening room on the second floor of the studio.After more than two months of overtime, the final fine-cut "Longevity" will be presented here for the first time in front of all the main creators.

Although Lu Li participated in the filming of the whole process, and was even an integral part of the film itself.But when the picture was actually shown on the big screen, he was still so nervous that his palms were sweating and his heart was beating loudly.

The whole film is full of film-like grainy texture.The slightly dark tones in the cyan render the vast grasslands and dilapidated old yurts more real and desolate.Accompanied by the melancholy sound of the matouqin, characters from all sides appear on the stage one after another, and the light and dark clues are gradually unfolded, like inextricably linked threads, which together interweave a tragic story that is somewhat absurd but extremely realistic.

Han Weimin is indeed a talented director worthy of respect, but what really surprised Lu Li was himself in the film—the dark, thin, ragged little educated youth Lu Kaifeng with brighter eyes.

Rationally, Lu Li knew that that person was him, but his intuition told him that that person should be the real Lu Kaifeng, who came to this world through his body and walked around.

At the end of the 110-minute film, there was a standing ovation from all.Han Weimin was so excited that he hugged Lu Li and other actors.Immediately afterwards, a small cocktail party was held next door to the screening room.Participants include important figures in multiple links such as main creators, capital and issuers.Among them is the person in charge of "Xingying", the theater brand under Shen's, and the largest natural person shareholder of Xingying is Shen Xingxuan.

Han Weimin said at the reception that "Longevity" has successfully registered for the Berlin Film Festival.Although it was two days later than the official cut-off time, due to the strong recommendation from the insiders of the organizing committee and the inclusion of several humanistic elements most favored by the judges, it should not be a problem to be shortlisted, and the possibility of winning the grand prize is also very high. high.

According to the regulations of the Berlin Film Festival, any film that is shortlisted for competition, its actors will automatically be eligible to compete for the best actor award.Therefore, Lu Li is expected to hit this year's Silver Bear Award with this "first novel".

This is by no means whimsical - in fact, after watching the film, many people expressed their admiration and even marveled at Lu Li's superb acting skills on the spot, concluding that he is fully capable of participating in this award competition.If the capital operation is successful, he may even become a strong contender for the Best Actor in the Golden Cong Awards next year.

Of course, Lu Li yearned for such honors from the bottom of his heart.But he also understands: the so-called awards in the entertainment industry, especially in the domestic entertainment industry, are not only a competition of strength, but also a battlefield for various public relations.Opportunity, strength, background, only the one with the highest sum of the three can stand under the spotlight of much attention.

The best example is Shen Xingze.

So far, Lu Li is satisfied with the status quo, so he no longer expects further troubles.Instead, Lin Gan came to ask Lu Li in a friendly manner if he would go to Berlin to attend the ceremony at the end of February.

After thinking about it, Lu Li shook his head. He said that he wanted to go back to school after the new year to do art exams, and to do his best for the school before he graduated.

Lin Gan expressed his understanding, he was silent for a while, and suddenly mentioned another matter that made both parties a little embarrassed.

"Actually... Earlier, I received a strange text message."

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and dug out the records of that day.

"Lu Li is my man, if you attack him, you will be at your own risk."

"I think it must have been sent by your girlfriend."

Lin Gan deliberately emphasized the word "girlfriend" while looking at Lu Li playfully.

"..."

Probably know what's going on.Lu Li's face turned red and white, and it took him a while to recover.

"It's all because of the trace you left behind me, and I was seen."

"I'm sorry. But I will reply to the message immediately to explain."

Lin Gan scratched his hair, let out a sigh, and then smiled at Lu Li again.

"But it can be seen that it is really a very possessive object. With such a strong and direct relationship, you must be very happy?"

"...It's not so much happiness as it is a sweet burden."

Lu Li smiled wryly.

It never occurred to her that the only time she got news from Shen Xingxuan in the past few months would be in this way.

--------------

The next day after watching the movie, Lu Li went back to his hometown. After the news of "Longevity" was about to enter the competition, he became a big celebrity in the family.Several cousins ​​chased after him to take a photo with him, and a relative took out a notebook and pressed it to ask him to sign every page so that he could take it out and buy it.Others directly offered to borrow money.

Lu Li always adopted evasive tactics towards this group of relatives.He handed over [-]% of his salary to his mother, but his mother refused several times, and finally only reluctantly accepted half.

During the mutual resignation, Lu Li vaguely felt that his mother seemed to be hesitating about something, and after several times of questioning, he actually asked about a top priority.

The mother wanted to remarry, and the partner was the divorced uncle who danced the national standard very well.He said that the other party's children had no objections, but he was worried about whether it would affect Lu Li's reputation as an actor.

Of course Lu Li gave her the best answer.He said that the pursuit of happiness is everyone's right, let her feel free to do what she wants to do boldly, and her son will be her eternal and strongest backup force.

His statement earned his mother a happy expression of relief.In fact, he hoped to get the same relief from her-for some secrets that would never and could not be said.

The second week after returning home is the Spring Festival.On New Year's Eve, Lu Li followed his mother to his uncle's house to celebrate the new year.

The uncle has twin daughters who are two years older than Lu Li. One is employed and the other is a graduate student.Although the atmosphere during the banquet was a little stiff, it was not difficult to see that they were all kind and educated people.And the other party was obviously very fond of the handsome and promising Lu Li, so it seemed that the marriage was settled.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction, except for one thing.

Even during the Spring Festival, the entertainment industry still has not stopped operating.Shen Xingxuan's studio also launched a big move: signing a newcomer, Wu Yufeng.

Lu Li quickly saw Wu Yufeng's real face online.To be honest, this really surprised him—it turned out that Wu Yufeng was the one who played the role of Shen Xingxuan's rumored girlfriend on Valentine's Day last year.

Judging from the photos published on Xingxuan Studio's Weibo, this is a young man who is very young, perhaps only seventeen or eighteen years old.The appearance is sunny and lovely, even with a hint of indisputable beauty.In terms of appearance, it is indeed very suitable for men to dress up as women, and it can be regarded as the favorite feminine face of today's girls.

It is also the official introduction of Star Selection Studio, Wu Yufeng was born in the United States and worked as a trainee for a certain Korean entertainment company for a while.After joining Star Selection Studio, he will focus on film and television performances, and will also apply for domestic performance schools this year.

After reading this series of introductions, Lu Li suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.

This is not the first time that Xingxuan Studio has signed a newcomer, but it is the first time for such a young one.At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he has no works before, and was able to be favored by Xing Ze Studio, actually An Huawen and Shen Xing Ze at the same time, what is so special about him?

Not to mention, what happened on Valentine's Day last year... Why did Shen Xingxuan have such a crush on Wu Yufeng, and even let the fledgling him participate in such an important plan?

Lu Li didn't know the reason for this.But his intuition told him that he would not like the final answer.

After the excitement of the New Year's Eve ended, Lu Li packed his luggage again and set off for Beijing.

As he said to Lin Gan before, he signed up for the examination affairs of this year's art examination.And this is probably the last winter he will stay on the China Film campus—after he enters his senior year, he may have to go out to film movies all year round, and even if he has regrets, there is no way to make up for it.

The China Film Academy during the Spring Festival seemed no different from the winter when Lu Li returned four years ago.Compared with the bustling art examination shops in the surrounding area, the student apartment can only be described as deserted.Lu Li was the only one left in the four-person dormitory, and it was as quiet as a Zen cave.

Lu Li spent two days alone in this zen-like tranquility.He learned how he was when he was just reborn, and slowly sorted out what happened in the past few years.Then he regained his composure and went out to face the coming crowd.

On a sunny Tuesday after a snowstorm, the art test of China Film Group began.Compared with previous years, the crowd of people flocked to the campus from all directions, full of the same expectation.

Putting on the thick black down jacket characteristic of China Film Group, a baseball cap and a mask, and pinning on a special armband, Lu Li became a standard China Film Group senior and began to perform the duties of examination administration.

According to the school's statistics, there are no less than a dozen of this year's candidates who are well-known. In addition, the popularity of live broadcast technology has also allowed many non-professionals to join the army of broadcasting live art exams.In order to deal with possible chaos, the school teamed up with the local police station to send additional manpower, and Lu Li was also assigned to the gate gate to guide students into the campus quickly and orderly.

The first day passed smoothly without incident; but on the second afternoon, Lu Li met the person he wanted to meet, but he didn't really want to meet.

It is different from other star candidates who come to refer to the school exam.Wu Yufeng's arrival has nothing to do with the word "low-key".At one o'clock in the afternoon, the moment he stepped off the luxury car, he automatically became the focus of all the reporters in the alley.

The other students came to rush for the exam accompanied by their parents, while he was accompanied by two tall security guards in suits.One left and one right, walking vigorously.

Although the alley at the school gate was already crowded with people, there was magically a space left for the pedestrians to pass through.There are shutter sounds all around, and countless mobile phones focus silently.Wu Yufeng obviously enjoyed this kind of attention, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and he didn't even lower his head to avoid any eyes.

Lu Li watched him approaching from a distance, and thought silently in his heart: This is indeed a bold person, that's why he was able to cooperate with Shen Xing to perform the Valentine's Day scene well.
