Cultivation Superstar [Rebirth]

In fact, since Kanudu first declared that film is the seventh art, whether the pursuit of film should be to entertain the public or to carry a little more has always been a focus of debate.

In this regard, cutting-edge directors are often more willing to focus on commerciality. Relatively, when early films were not popular, as a niche art, filmmakers at that time did more in terms of exploration.

At Wei Tao's age, although he can't match up with Xinrui, the fifth generation is still the mainstay of today.

When they started making movies, the popularity of the big screen had quietly begun to grow, and it can be said that it grew up with the growth of this generation of directors.

Most of Wei Tao's contemporaries have been able to adapt to today's market skillfully. Of course, there are also a group of losers who can't balance the commercial and artistic aspects of their works, and the results are not pleasing to both sides.

Only Wei Tao never seems to be moved by high profits. In his eyes, the box office is just a cloud in a cloud, a void in a void, and he doesn't even care if the film he makes can pass the review or be released in domestic theaters. .

Of course, some people say that such a director has not been seen before. Many directors like to do things that bloom inside the walls and make people outside the walls. They make films that cannot be released in China and send them abroad to win awards.

Especially the Bailin International Film Festival, which is particularly fond of East Asian films. Many directors have won trophies and word-of-mouth from there.

However, Wei Tao has no interest in this award or that award, although those trophies are of great interest to him, and he himself has never appeared in those film festivals once.

After hearing Rui Lin introduce the director Wei Tao, Luo Lingxiu had some ideas instead.

Originally, he didn't have any opinions on who and what role to play in the drama, all he cared about was the spiritual benefits brought about by this kind of behavior.

Since becoming an artist, except for Director Zhou, he has looked at the people and things in this circle with cold eyes. Seeing those people's emotions or fame and fortune, he feels like looking at flowers from the other side.

Qin Zhengqing... Probably because he was too close, it was rare for him to feel a little real, reminding him that he was indeed in this world.

Although I don't know why this Wei Tao chose to name him to audition, it can be seen that Rui Lin is not very enthusiastic about this opportunity.

This is actually easy to understand, apart from already having everything, what is missing is a trophy or word-of-mouth full of deep connotation to establish that he is not just an artist but a superstar of a performing artist, so he has the attitude and calmness to treat box office popularity as nothing and go with someone like Wei Tao The director collaborates once.

From Rui Lin's point of view, Luo Lingxiu is obviously not. He did consider starting to give Luo Lingxiu some movie roles, but it definitely didn't come from Wei Tao's audition opportunity.

But Luo Lingxiu did not coincide with Rui Lin this time, after thinking about it, he asked him, "When."

"Tomorrow." It seems that Luo Lingxiu is planning to give it a try. Although Rui Lin doesn't support it, he doesn't object either. Maybe, he doesn't need to portray Luo Lingxiu as an ordinary star, he thought.

Anyway, there is President Qin behind him anyway, the popular ones will always be popular, it's not too late for this literary film, it's just Luo Lingxiu's acting skills... "Director Wei said that I hope you don't bring too many assistants."

"I go by my own."

Rui Lin gave Wei Tao the address of the audition, and the next day Luo Lingxiu got rid of Qin Zhengqing who was asking all kinds of questions, and easily got rid of the bodyguard that President Qin secretly ordered to follow him, and went to the place designated by the other party.

It was a very remote park with few tourists, but the scenery was pretty good. Luo Lingxiu went around and didn't see anything that looked like an audition, but there was only one person sitting in the waterside pavilion in the park.

He looks very young, giving the impression that he is in his 30s at most, which is the most attractive age when a man begins to be mature and innocent.

Luo Lingxiu paused. He remembered Rui Lin's science popularization. Most of the fifth generation directors have already entered the age of knowing their destiny. Although Wei Tao is considered young among them, he must be too early to be confused.

This man was so young, he really didn't seem like the person he was going to meet today.

When looking for someone, Luo Lingxiu didn't deliberately hide the movement. The man should have heard his voice, but he still sat there without the slightest reaction, looking up for himself, not knowing what he was looking at.

After observing him from a distance for a while, Luo Lingxiu also walked into the water pavilion, sat quietly beside the man, and raised his head slightly.

It was winter, and the wind blowing by the water was icy cold, and the lake was covered with a thin layer of ice, which was so thin that it seemed to be broken at the touch of a finger. Occasionally, faint figures of downstream fish could be seen.

The trees on the water bank are all bare, and the branches and branches are criss-crossed, forming various strange shapes.

The winter sky always looks extraordinarily high, and even the floating clouds seem to be afraid of the cold, and they are much less, scattered on the blue sky a little bit.

The two sat side by side, neither of them spoke, each staring at their own sky in a trance, sitting for two hours without hearing a single sound.

Two hours is just a moment to Luo Lingxiu. When he was in retreat, sometimes it would take decades to close and open his eyes, and he might only meditate against one wall of a cave.

So he didn't have any discomfort, just watched the clouds drifting past and past quietly and silently, occasionally a lone bird flew past his eyes, or a little dust raised in the thin sunlight.

"Your name is Luo Lingxiu." Just when the man looked like he would never speak, he still didn't look back, but said suddenly.

Luo Lingxiu nodded, and realized that the other party might not be able to see, so he added "um".

"You are very sad now, because the wind chime at the corner of the eaves is already dumb." The man finally turned around, without revealing his identity, and looked deeply at Luo Lingxiu.

From the front, his face and his age are more obvious, and he really looks too young.

Luo Lingxiu felt vaguely puzzled, but was distracted by the other party's request. Is this the so-called audition?

He glanced at the wind chime at the corner of the eaves. It should ring when there is wind, but it just happens that there is no wind blowing at this moment. Are you sad because of it?

Luo Lingxiu looked at the wind chime indifferently. Five minutes passed without any change in expression or words, just watching.

After a while, the man suddenly laughed out loud, and he patted Luo Lingxiu on the shoulder, "You don't know how to act at all. Zhou Weixian has also become a little confused recently, and he even recommended you to me."

"Director Zhou?" For Luo Lingxiu, Zhou Weixian was his other master in this world. It turned out that Wei Tao's sudden audition invitation was not from an unknown teacher, but was recommended by Director Zhou.

"Surprised? I thought you begged him." The man smiled slightly, "That's right, Zhou Weixian is not someone who can beg anyone, but I still don't understand why he recommended you, if it's just for this picture face."

He let out a sigh of relief, "I saw your performance in "The Devil", it was very good, Su Guanyu is very suitable for you. But, that is the credit of the character, I still say the same thing, you can't act."

"What would you do?" Luo Lingxiu didn't refute. He didn't think he could act, although he didn't think he couldn't, at least he thought he was already proficient in imitating all emotions, and few people thought he could imitate It doesn't look like it.

Wei Tao thought for a moment, "Probably, it's the same as you just now." He looked at him silently.

After hearing his answer, although Luo Lingxiu didn't speak, he was obviously waiting for his explanation.

Since they both think that this way of expression is okay, why do they say that he can't act.

Wei Tao stood up from the waterside pavilion, leaning on the railing, "Actions, gestures and even speech expressions are all dramas, but they can be imitated if there are traces to follow. I said you can't act, because you don't have drama in your eyes. "

He looked back at Luo Lingxiu, "No one should have said that to you, you are considered popular now. But I need to tell you one thing, movies and TV shows are different. There are very few TV shows Emphasis on rhyme and bone, but film is art."

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Even if more and more people don't regard him as art, he is always there, with form and spirit, no way."

Wei Tao pondered for a moment, then turned back to Luo Lingxiu, "But I understand why Zhou Weixian recommended you to me. A person like you, once there is a god in his eyes, is a born artist."

"You are a born artist." Luo Lingxiu said suddenly, he didn't feel displeased with Wei Tao's comments, he said it to the point.

purely.

It was the only breath he felt from Wei Tao, pure fanaticism, probably the best word to describe Wei Tao, just as he always showed, box office, theaters, trophies, and prestige were completely irrelevant. trip him up.

Wei Tao only has a passion for movies and purely loves this kind of art.

However, after Luo Lingxiu finished speaking, Wei Tao shook his head, "No, I'm not complete." At this time, his eyes were calm, like many winding paths, which made his overly young face show the age-appropriate expression in his eyes. Heavy texture comes.

He touched his face, "Do you think I'm young? I don't like socializing with people, and that's part of the reason. Luo Lingxiu, with your good looks, you should hope that your looks can last forever, right?"

Luo Lingxiu shook his head, "It's just a pink skull." When it comes to beauty, there is no one who cultivates immortals with a radiant face. Once the body dies, the appearance of death is also ugly.

Wei Tao was a little surprised, "Among young actors, it's rare that you don't care about your appearance." He could see that Luo Lingxiu really didn't care, rather than just talking about it. He shrugged, "Actually, I don't like this either. look."

Although he looks surprisingly young compared to his age, there are also many people in the entertainment industry who have good looks, and he didn't have to deliberately avoid the world.

Luo Lingxiu vaguely felt that there seemed to be an inhuman aura about Wei Tao, but it was not a demon, a ghost, a spirit, or a fairy.Very contradictory.
