The character of female A [entertainment circle]

Wen Chuxuan's self-directed and self-acted film finally finished. She and Ren Shiwan flew back to Korea with the crew, and then the film entered the post-production stage.

The name of the movie was finally decided as "Etna". Mount Etna is the highest and most active active volcano in Europe. It is named after the Greek word Atine, which translates to "I burn". (Note)

When Wen Chuxuan was editing the film, the producer started the promotion of the film.

The entry point for publicity is also easy to find. "Etna" is Wen Chuxuan's first self-directed and self-acted work. As long as she puts her name on it, netizens will automatically gather their attention.

Although the materials were rarely updated due to going out to shoot a few days ago, Wen Chuxuan's fans have been waiting for her new movie.

[Director Wen doesn't show his face, it's enough, once he shows up, it's a big move! 】

[Self-directed and self-acted, amazing! 】

【It's Wen Chuxuan's feature-length feature film debut, director Park Chan-yu is one of the producers, I'm looking forward to it. 】

[The male protagonist is Ren Shiwan, this is the first time Energy CP has partnered?This time it's a romance. 】

Of course, there are not only voices of praise in the comment area, but also people who say bad things.

Even though Wen Chuxuan's original graduation work won the Best Short Film Award at the Busan Film Festival, her talent as a director still has not been verified by the box office market.If you can direct a short film well, you may not be able to direct a good feature film, and if you can meet the tastes of the film festival jury, you may not be able to meet the tastes of the audience.

Some people think that Moon Cho-hyun may experience Waterloo at the box office for the first time because of this movie.

[You have to admit that Wen Chuxuan's previous films all had a good director, so that the box office elixir has always been effective.This time she chose to direct by herself, but I am actually not very optimistic about it. 】

[I feel like I started to run before walking steadily...]

[Why can't you act obediently? 】

Wen Chuxuan didn't take these comments to heart, she put all her energy into editing and post-production, and she had to make decisions one by one which shots to use and which shots not to use.

After the final production was completed, Wen Chuxuan played the finished film in the conference room of the producer company. Several producers and investors in charge were sitting below, staring at the screen in front of them with serious expressions.

They didn't smile until the credits started rolling.

Park Chanyu was also sitting among them, and he was the first to applaud.

Slowly, the others followed suit.

"This is a new work that exceeds expectations." Park Chanyu said, "You are already a very mature film director."

"To be honest, I was very worried at the beginning that those funds were wasted. After all, the budget of this movie is not low... Now, I have a bottom line."

xx, who once had a conversation with Moon Chu-hyun at the Busan Film Festival, said to Moon Chu-hyun with a smile, "I'm glad we reached a cooperation."

It is impossible to say that "Etna" is flawless. No work of art can be flawless, but the flaws are not concealed. This movie has shining points in character creation and screen language, and several live scenes The lens is really beautiful.

The scene that impresses XX is that the hero and heroine stand side by side on the solidified volcanic rock, and the camera shoots down from the mountain, showing a kind of grand and vast romance.

The producer intends to send "Etna" to the Cannes Film Festival, and it would be the best if it can be shortlisted.What they were thinking of was not the main competition, but the "A Kind of Concern" section, which is a section set up by Cannes to promote new filmmakers from all over the world, and it is also the section where Wen Chuxuan is most likely to be shortlisted.

When Wen Chuxuan starred in the movie "Dao Hee" for the first time, the director Zheng Zhuli was shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" unit, so she went to Cannes with her.

……

After a long but worthwhile wait, fans finally got the trailer for Etna.

The male protagonist of the photographer took over the shooting job and saw the female protagonist in a simple shirt and jeans on a foreign campus. She was wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, combed a ponytail, and was holding a stack of books. The path across the lawn passes by.

The hero was stunned for a few seconds, his heart beating loudly.

Starting from love at first sight, the male lead clumsily pursues her.

From France to Italy, from the campus to the foot of the volcano...

The expression on the heroine's face changed from indifference at the beginning, to disgust, and then to a smile with disgust...the two of them are together.

However, the trailer followed with a turning point, where the heroine calmly looked at the actor, "Let's break up."

In the end, amidst the gradually rising sound of music, the male protagonist runs hard, and the camera turns to the silent Mount Etna, where the setting sun casts golden-red afterglow, like red-hot magma.

Netizens responded quite well to the trailer. It seems that there are not so many excellent romance films these years. This is a pity for audiences who like pure love stories.

[Wow, it looks really good! 】

[It's my favorite type!Every year I go back to those classic old movies, and I have almost memorized the lines of "If Love Has God's Will". I haven't seen this kind of pure romance movie for a long time. 】

[Wen Chuxuan looks so pretty with glasses on, but looks even better with a cold face, I just want to call her wife!Ren Shiwan is also quite cute, but I still choose Wen Chuxuan. 】

[The picture is so beautiful, every frame is like a painting.After it's released, I'm going to ask my boyfriend to watch it together. 】

The producers wanted to laugh when they saw such comments. The live-action filming cost so much money. If the pictures were not beautiful, they might really have to quarrel with Director Wen.

But you can only quarrel, because you can't win a fight.

Thinking about it like this is a bit sad.

……

In April, the shortlist for the Cannes Film Festival was released, and Wen Chuxuan's "Etna" had a place, which surprised netizens who hadn't seen the film yet.

Even though it wasn't the main competition unit, many people still didn't expect Wen Chuxuan to be able to do this.

To be shortlisted in Cannes for the first time as a director is a matter of pride for any budding filmmaker.And having such a starting point also means that they may achieve better results in the future development.

Although everyone had already expressed emotion at the Busan Film Festival, they still couldn't help but say it again: It turns out that there are people who can do well no matter what they do.

Genius is real.

After "Train to Busan", Wen Chuxuan came to the Cannes Film Festival again after two years, and this time she has an extra identity as a director.

Ren Shiwan and Wen Chuxuan walked the red carpet together, feeling the enthusiasm of the reporters through the light of each other.

"Chu Xuan, look this way!"

"Smile... Oh no, you're beautiful even when you're not smiling!"

The languages ​​of various countries were mixed together, and Ren Shiwan could only understand a few sentences.

He held Wen Chuxuan's arm, followed the people around him and stood still, accepting the baptism of the flashing lights.

Inexplicably, a strange idea came to his mind: it felt like they were newlyweds at a wedding, surrounded by enthusiastic relatives and friends to take pictures.

But in this case, maybe he is more like the bride in the traditional cognition...

After all, Wen Chuxuan, who is wearing a suit and high heels, is many times more handsome than him.

Ren Shiwan remembered the post about Wen Chuxuan he saw on the forum before, both men and women shouted that they wanted to marry her.

"After getting to know brother, let's go."

Wen Chuxuan patted the back of Ren Shiwan's hand, reminding him that he was distracted.

"Oh, oh." Ren Shiwan's ears were a little red, how could he imagine going there, Chu Xuan was standing beside him.

Wen Chuxuan is already familiar with the process of Cannes. She has been associated with this place since her debut, and she will come here almost every one or two years, but she has not won an award of her own here.

But this time, maybe the result will be different.

Wen Chuxuan smiled softly, no one knew what was boldly thinking in her heart.

The awards ceremony of the "Un Certain Regard" unit was held earlier than the main competition unit, because most of the shortlisted directors were new directors, so in previous years only movie lovers would pay attention.

However, this year because of Wen Chuxuan, various media have focused on this little-known competition unit.

The venue for the awards ceremony was simpler than that of the main competition unit, but it still squeezed in many media reporters.

They saw Wen Chuxuan sitting in the guest seat, she was smiling and talking to the man beside her, with a relaxed expression, as if she didn't care about the final result.

The host made an opening speech at the front. The competition in Un Certain Regard this year was quite fierce. Among the more than 2000 films submitted for review, the jury selected [-] finalists.

It can be said that every shortlisted film is one in a hundred.

The name of "Etna" was not mentioned once in the first half of the awards ceremony, and some non-film media began to feel a little boring. Could it be that Wen Chuxuan's debut work will fail?

This is not impossible, after all, there are not too many awards in this unit, and it is impossible for every film to win an award.

But what the host said next woke them up.

"The winner of the Un Certain Regard Award for Best Performance is—"

"《Etna》Wen Chuxuan, congratulations!"

There was warm applause in the venue, and Wen Chuxuan was hugged tightly by Ren Shiwan, competing with them in the last scene of the movie.

'It really is an acting award. A reporter from South Korea couldn't help but think, "Wen Chuxuan is better as an actor." '

He was very glad that he didn't say this, because right after that, Wen Chuxuan's name resounded through the venue again.

"The winner of the Un Certain Regard Award for Best Director is—"

Wen Chuxuan raised his eyes as if feeling something.

""Etna", Wen Chuxuan."

Numerous shots were aimed at the young woman who stood up. She pushed her hair behind her ears as she walked. She was so beautiful that she stepped onto the stage firmly.

She took the trophy and the microphone, and looked at everyone in the audience.

This is the starting point of the film actor Wen Chuxuan, and also the starting point of the director Wen Chuxuan.
