rewrite life

For those who work hard, time always flies by.In a blink of an eye, more than a month slipped through the fingers, which means that the filming of "Advanced Fashion" in New York has also been completed.Next, the crew and some of the actors will move to Paris, the capital of country f, to continue filming the climax of the film—the episode of Paris Fashion Week.

For the entire crew, the shooting task of this segment is extremely heavy and crucial.But for Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi, two teenagers who are in love... Obviously, this trip to Paris must be different.

Paris has been known as the "City of Romance" since ancient times.But before that, Tang Shi had never paid attention to it, why did everyone say that.Anyway, in his impression, Paris is related to words such as perfume and high-end clothing. In the eyes of ordinary people, the so-called Paris is the palace of fashion.It should be such a place with beautiful scenery and full of flashy atmosphere.

After coming out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, it was already past seven in the evening.Under the illumination of the lights, the night of the whole Paris is like daytime, with a kind of breathtaking magnificence. The first stop of the "Fashion Cutting Edge" crew in Paris was a high-end hotel on the right bank of the Seine.After a night's rest, all the members set off to the Carrousel Hall of the Louvre for the shooting part of the fashion week in the early morning of the next day.

And Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi only stayed at the shooting location until the preparatory work was completed and one hour after the official start of shooting.Seeing that the entire crew has been operating in an orderly manner, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi, who were finally relieved, began to focus on this beautiful city with a long history and known as "one of the fifty must-see places in life".

From the Louvre Museum, the Royal Palace to the Tuileries Gardens, the Eiffel Tower, and various churches and theaters.A variety of architectural landscapes appeared in Tang Shi's eyes one by one, and appeared on their schedules.Adhering to the favorite commemoration method of the Chinese people, Tang Shi unceremoniously took photos with a SLR camera.There are two people standing in front of scenic spots and landmark buildings to take pictures, and some are drinking coffee and eating pastries in street coffee shops, and there are countless exquisite food landscape photos comparable to star films.Record the footprints of the two in Paris one by one.

Every night after returning to the hotel, Tang Shi didn't forget to post photos that looked more handsome and cheerful after screening on Weibo.This big show of affection did not arouse the suspicion of fans and the media.Everyone praised Tang Shi for his good photography skills and the beauty of Paris in the lens on Weibo.Some people even joked that Paris's tourism bureau should pay Tang Shi a salary, because under Tang Shi's lens, Paris is so beautiful and fascinating.After watching the photos and videos, people suddenly feel a little urge to travel.

In addition, there are many artists who are close friends with Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi expressed their views on Weibo, thinking that Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi's actions are really popular.And attracted everyone's resentment for hard work——

Zhang Chumo, who was filming with the group in Paris, even posted on Weibo that he was under pressure to film, and he didn't even dare to take a bite of the food in Paris, and then complained that the schedule of the two bosses was really enviable Jealousy comments.As soon as this comment was posted, countless fans immediately forwarded it one after another.And many of Zhang Chumo's fans also went to Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi's Weibo to leave messages to make jokes, hoping that these two "bosses" would treat their employees better and not let the employees "lack of food".Even Yun Xiaoting and others, who were filming far away abroad, joined in the fun and commented on Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi's ease and comfort, thinking that their actions were too "cruel".

In response to Zhang Chumo's complaints, when Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi returned to the crew the next morning, they specially brought love desserts and drinks to the crew, and promised to lead all members of the crew at noon Let's eat seafood buffet.Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi's promise made the members of the crew very happy and inspired.Even work efficiency has improved a lot.

And Tang Shi smiled at Zhang Chumo, who was touching up his makeup, and said, "I heard that you like seafood the most. Then when you eat later, do you want to eat less in order to keep in shape?"

Zhang Chumo: "..."

Sitting aside, Brad Norton, who was touching up his makeup, suddenly laughed out loud.Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at Brad.The 24-year-old blond boy plays the leading actor Kevin in this film—a model with a devil figure and an angel face, and a bright future.

In order to play this role, Brad even started exercising two months before the movie started, and in order to ensure his good figure, Brad worked so hard to keep his diet even stricter than Zhang Chumo's during the filming process. .In order to ensure the beauty of the muscles, he can hardly eat any fried, salty food.So after hearing Tang Shi's promise to treat him to seafood, Brad was the one who suffered the most.Because in the next few days, his role in the scene is very important-he must show his perfect figure and smooth muscles in front of the camera.

After learning about the filming process, Tang Shi expressed deep sympathy for Brad's current experience—this is the price of maintaining the image of a handsome guy in the entertainment industry.What has to be paid behind it is actually no less than that of a powerful actor.Even more often, vase actors have to work far more than powerful actors.

The topic is a bit off topic.Let’s go back to the next seafood buffet—although it ended up costing a lot, it also inspired all the crew members to work more seriously.At this time, it was already the eighth day of filming in Paris by the "Fashion Cutting Edge" crew, and more than half of the fashion week's filming task had been completed, and it was beginning to enter the finishing stage.Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi didn't expect that the original half-month schedule would be completed in about ten days with the cooperation of the film crew members who have the same ambition and energy.

What Tang Shi didn't expect was that when the crew of "Fashion Cutting Edge" was finishing the filming, a phone call from Huoquwu disrupted Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi's next arrangement.This call comes from Chris Nolan, the famous director of bad fun. The 54-year-old director is very good at telling stories in film language and is keen to create with film.Use props and models to shoot the real scene effect, and use the imax camera to shoot the real scene, so that the audience can feel the visual impact and magnificent effect more intuitively and deeply.In his more than 30 years of work experience in the directing industry, Chris Nolan has been nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director at the Olek and Golden Circle Awards many times, and has also won the Golden Man many times.He is one of the hottest commercial art directors in Europe and the United States.

Back then, Tang Shi was nominated for Best Actor in Olek with "A Wonderful Journey". At the dinner after the awards ceremony, he had a shallow exchange with this respected director.At that time, the two talked about the integration and communication of Eastern and Western cultural elements, and at the end of the dinner, the two also exchanged contact information. Director Chris even said that he would like to cooperate with Tang Shi if he had the opportunity.

However, four years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, director Chris has also made two commercial blockbusters and a science fiction work exploring science and time, but Tang Shi never accepted the invitation from director Chris. Audition invitation.So Tang Shi always thought that what Director Chris said that day was just casual, and he himself had a deeper understanding that it is not easy for Chinese faces to survive on Western big screens, so he didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, four years later, when Tang Shi never had any hope, he received a call from Director Chris.And the first sentence of this great director, who is in his 50s and is known for his gentle and elegant temper, was——

"Hey, Tang, remember me, Chris Nolan. Back then we agreed to work together on a movie, and now I've got the script out, do you have time?"

Tang Shi: "..."

After the silence, Tang Shi's first reaction was naturally to read the script first.And Chris probably understood Tang Shi's "thoughts" from Tang Shi's habit of receiving scripts in the past few years, so he briefly explained the reason why he created this script on the phone, although he did not explicitly express it in words What, but both Tang Shi and Chris knew that the script that could make Chris take it so seriously, and even take four years to write it, would definitely not be an ordinary popcorn commercial script.

In short, this film must be aimed at winning awards.

As for Tang Shi's failure on Olek that day - although Tang Shi himself didn't worry about it, judging from his habit of accepting scripts and casting movies for so many years, the outside world agrees that Tang Shi still prefers It is a literary and artistic production with profound themes, human care, and cultural elements, rather than simple personal heroism or funny commercial films.So when it comes to convincing Tang Shi, Chris still feels very confident.

He spent four years, edited several times, and sent the finalized script to Tang Shi by email.On the other side, Tang Shi, who received the script, also flipped through it immediately.

The name of the script is "Headline", which can also be translated as "The First Time", and it is adapted from a piece of news that actually happened in New York.The protagonist of the story, Ron, is the editor-in-chief of the New York Evening Moon. He is sophisticated, shrewd and capable, and has a very keen sense of news.He often worked overtime very late because of the work of the newspaper office, and basically he could only leave the office after two or three o'clock in the morning.And this time is the most dangerous time for robbery and other incidents for New York, which is not good at law and order.

On this day, Ron had to take the subway home after leaving the office because his car was sent for repair.It was already past two o'clock in the morning, and there was almost no one in the entire subway station.Out of professional habits, Ron walked into a corner, smoking a cigarette while waiting for the subway.Hearing the sound of quarreling and fighting by accident, Ron followed the sound and looked for it out of curiosity.He witnessed an incident in which a Chinese student was robbed and raped by a black man at a subway station.

If it was a normal person's reaction, they would definitely call the police immediately, and if it was more bloody, they might immediately come forward to stop this atrocity.Ron's first reaction was to take out his phone.But the moment he called the police, Ron hesitated.Ron, who has a keen sense of news, has concluded that if this incident is handled well, it will definitely trigger heated discussions in the society.So after thinking about it, in order to ensure the integrity and independence of this news, Ron did not call the police immediately, or take effective measures to rescue the Chinese student.Instead, he let the injury happen, and then hid aside and recorded the whole incident in its entirety.And he returned to the newspaper office that night and made this news an exclusive report on the "Moon Evening News".

After this news report, as expected by Ron, it triggered a social discussion about social security and racial discrimination throughout New York and even the entire Stars and Stripes.

But Ron was not satisfied with this.In order to ensure the sustainability of this news, Ron found the poor boy by various means, regardless of the privacy of the news subject, and concealed his identity, deliberately approaching the boy in an attempt to win the boy's trust.Then there was a "deeper" report on the incident, with all the embarrassment and desperation the boy experienced during his treatment.

Ron's actions destroyed the boy's hard-won calm life and hard-won belief in living firmly.After Ron's report, more and more people began to pay attention to this matter.Many people and the media began to harass the boy's private life in various ways. In the end, the boy lost all hope and committed suicide...

It can be seen that Director Chris wants to reflect the indifference of contemporary society and the cold violence of the media through this film.Although the increasingly free information and the Internet have turned this era into an era of rapid information transmission, is this phenomenon of information being disseminated without filtering good or bad?The so-called duty of the media is to report the truth, but blindly pursuing the truth and headlines is disregarding people's safety, dignity and privacy...

Then, in addition to disseminating information to the public, should the media also take on the responsibility of protecting, and whether it is necessary to disregard the true nature of human nature for the sake of news...

After reading the script, Tang Shi sat on the big bed in the guest room without saying a word for a long time.He was shocked by the humanistic care revealed in this script.According to director Chris' wishes, what Tang Shi wants to play is the Chinese student who was injured in the script and eventually committed suicide-and is also another male protagonist of the script.

As for Ron's actor, director Chris is very inclined to the last Olek statuette winner-Nicholas Robert.This person is actually very familiar to Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi, because he is the crystallization of the love between Mr. Al and Ms. Jennifer.

Obviously, this is a drama with two male protagonists.And whether it is the main theme of the film itself or the partner of the opposite play, they all agree with the taste of the academic school.Director Chris's ambition and sincerity can thus be seen.

But for Tang Shi, what worries him at the moment is not the script and the characters themselves.What Tang Shi is worried about is if he takes over this role, will the outside media have some bad associations - you must know that Tang Shi was able to become famous in Bad Fun, because he was in "A Wonderful Journey" A gay character played in .

Now four years have passed, and Tang Shi has returned to Bad Fun, if he still takes on such a role - he is only 21 years old this year and has never had a girlfriend. Although there have been some scandals before, but after careful consideration, It's just catching wind and shadows...

Lu Hengzhi noticed Tang Shi's long silence.Lu Hengzhi only needs to see Tang Shi's action of pinching the corner of the script with his fingers, and Lu Hengzhi can fully understand Tang Shi's entanglements and heartbeats.

After silently weighing for a while, Lu Hengzhi turned around and went into the kitchen to make two cups of milk tea, handed Tang Shi a cup, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it so much, just choose with your heart. No matter what, I will accompany you Those around you who support you."

Tang Shi raised his head, looked at Lu Hengzhi's forgiving and silent look, and slightly frowned.
