Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

When Su Yun and the assistant directors were busy filming the progress of the episodes of "Sister Tuoqiang", Chen Boyang and his friend Zhong Buluo suddenly came to visit the set with afternoon tea snacks and sugar water.

It is said that it is a class to visit a good brother, but it is not difficult for Zhang Querong, who is drinking sugar water and eating egg tarts, to guess where this drunkard's intentions are.

Sigh, forget it, brother, it's rare for him to muster up the courage to ask Su Yun to dinner, so don't expose him.

However, what Zhang Querong didn't expect was that Chen Boyang's rare courage didn't seem to be enough. After inviting Su Yun to a newly opened restaurant for dinner, Su Yun simply said "you and Shall I go with the two of you?" In the rhetorical question, I added the answer "No, it's our good friends going to dinner together" that makes people's blood pressure soar...

So, after the filming task of the day was completed, Su Yun came to this restaurant together with Chen Boyang, Zhang Querong, and Zhong Buluo.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone else had their own affairs, or if they could vaguely see Chen Boyang's original intention, maybe there would be more people at this dinner party.

If you can't seize the opportunity, the candlelight dinner will only become a multi-person dinner...

Chen Boyang, who regretted his momentary talk, first glanced at the two light bulbs very depressedly, and then couldn't help but sneak a glance at Su Yun who seemed to be unaware of it.

At this four-person table, he and Zhang Querong sat on one side, and Su Yun and Zhong Buluo sat on the other, so he was sitting face to face with Su Yun.

But Su Yun is now obsessed with looking at the menu, and has no intention of glancing at him at all, which is a waste of this good seating arrangement.

Sensing the depressed mood of his good brother, Zhang Querong raised his eyes to see his obviously aggrieved and helpless but forced smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But he didn't know whether it was gloating or the reason why he could finally rest after working for many days. Apart from sighing in his heart, he still felt a little bit happy.

"You guys also know, right? "Song of Youth" has been sent to Venice, and September 9 is the time for this year's awards, so we have to go to Venice at the end of this month." While waiting for the food to be served, Su Yun was very excited. He spoke the news calmly.

The issue of sending her works out for awards is undoubtedly one of the reasons why she chose to join the Zhao family.

Compared with the three film festivals of Cannes, Berlin, and Venice, which can be handled by the relevant person in charge of the film company, only Zhao has this authority to apply for Oscar foreign language films every year.

Back then, she was able to bypass Zhao's and submit "Artificial Intelligence" and "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" mainly because it was through the cooperation between Jiahe and Warner, borrowing the name of the co-production film.However, according to the Oscar's rule for Best Foreign Language Film that "each country and region can only nominate one film", if she wants to win the award, it must be submitted by the Zhao family.

Here in Hong Kong, the unit that has the qualifications to apply for the best foreign language film is called the Hong Kong Film Producers Association, which was founded by Zhao Rifu of the Zhao family in 1964—just the year Su Yun was born. Long-term vision.

Before all the film companies realized that they could send the films produced by their own companies to outside competitions to compete for awards, he had already set his sights on the most famous awards in the film industry.

Of course, it is also because of Zhao Rifu's forward-looking vision and willingness to spend money. Most of the shooting equipment in Zhao's film company and TBB can keep up with the advanced level of Hollywood; After the high-definition restoration of Zhao's old movies shot in the 60s, the picture quality is absolutely not inferior to the high-definition restorations of contemporary Hollywood movies.

I have heard that Mr. Zhao is stingy with his employees, but they are willing to spend money on equipment and tools. It is really not a cover, otherwise there will be no rumors that Mr. Zhao is "stupid and rich" in foreign countries-although as an actor The fact that "tool man" is less valuable than the "tool" used as a shooting tool makes people feel a little complicated...

However, probably because of this atmosphere, there was no news of exorbitant salary in Xiangjiang in the early years, and because of this, most of the artists did not raise the nostrils of the later generations. Instead, they all have a very down-to-earth affinity.

It is also because this association was founded by Zhao Rifu. Over the years, the films sent by the Xiangjiang area to represent Xiangjiang to participate in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film are all films produced by Zhao, which is equivalent to this year. The one with the best reviews in the wind, it was sent out for the election as the best film of the year.

However, there are good films from various countries and regions in the selection of the best foreign language film of the Oscars. The quality of Zhao's films, which has been declining in recent years, cannot be regarded as the first level in the local area. I want to Winning an award is basically impossible.

So, this can reflect the old-fashioned rules of Zhao's old-fashioned big family that the meat will rot in the pot: if there are no good movies that year, then Zhao would rather not send the movie out. Giving up this opportunity to declare directly will definitely not be cheap to outsiders.

There is such an unspoken rule that she would rather be rotten in her hands than cheap outsiders, and Su Yun is now slowly transitioning from an actor to a director and producer, so if she wants to win non-actor awards in the future, the best thing to do is The best thing is to choose Zhao's channel.

What's more, her generation, who grew up watching old Hong Kong movies and TBB TV dramas, also has more or less inexplicable psychology of "Zhao's spiritual shareholder"...

After analyzing this problem, Zhong Buluo, who was not very excited because he did not participate in "Song of Youth", just nodded politely. excitement.

"Maybe it's just to take you out to see and see. Although the Venice Awards have always encouraged newcomers, the selection requirements are quite strict." Su Yun knew that her film, which was clearly positioned as commercial, did not have much hope of winning the actor award, so in In terms of the positioning of the award, it is also set on the unofficial award of other unit award categories.

"That's okay, at least we can go out and see it, it's much better than many people!" Chen Boyang used to like to go everywhere, and this trip is to go out with good brothers and crushes. He said that he would be willing to go out to be an accompanying runner for the competition, or to do hard work...

"Come on, I know you've been locked up in a small dark room recently, and it's a rare opportunity to go out to play outside in a fair manner. I don't want to make you happy!" Zhang Querong teased him with a smile.

"Oh? What's going on? What's wrong with you, so that the manager shuts you down again?" Su Yun looked at Chen Boyang with interest.

"No, it's just that there is a lot of work ahead, and I have to find inspiration to compose, so it's not convenient for me to go out, so I can only stay at home." Chen Boyang quickly explained.

While explaining, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at Zhang Querong next to him: Although these words successfully attracted Su Yun's attention to him, but this kind of words made people misunderstand that he made a mistake and was punished again!

After being stared at by him like this, Zhang Querong immediately realized that he had unknowingly made green tea for his brother, and hurriedly asked to help make up for it: "Yes, he has a concert at the end of the year and a new album is coming out, so Just stay indoors and work as much as possible.”

"I see." Su Yun nodded thoughtfully.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I have to go to the bathroom, Paul, you go with me!" Chen Boyang suddenly winked at Zhong Buluo who was sitting on the side opposite.

"Oh, okay, let's go together!" Zhong Buluo instantly understood what he meant, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to stay with you for a while."

"What? You're not..." Remembering that Chen Boyang didn't like to go to the bathroom outside because of his little cleanliness, Zhang Querong was surprised, and suddenly noticed something in the actions of the two of them. So he quickly shut up.

As soon as the conversation changed, he displayed his better and better acting skills all of a sudden: "Go now—by the way, Mary, have you heard some interesting gossip recently?"

"What gossip?" Listening to gossip and talking about gossip are one of the unavoidable common problems of human beings. Looking at Zhang Querong's appearance, it seems that there is a lot of speculation. Su Yun has no doubt about him, and her attention is immediately caught by this sentence The words were taken away.

While talking to Su Yun about the gossip news he heard on the TV station recently to divert Su Yun's attention, he watched the movements of Chen Boyang and Zhong Buluo out of the corner of his eye. It didn't take long for Zhang Querong to understand the boy's behavior. Thoughts: Fortunately, although I didn't seize the opportunity to ask Su Yun to have a candlelight dinner for two, I still prepared to play the piano on stage to show my heart.

Thinking of this, he reached for the seasoning bottle placed in the middle of the table, intending to watch the good brother's performance while eating.

Unexpectedly, Su Yun, who was sitting opposite him, also stretched out her hand at this time, and her target was the seasoning bottle in the middle of the table.

The fingertips on both sides met and touched on the transparent glass seasoning bottle, and the two looked at each other subconsciously, as if the slightly warm body temperature from the human body, which was slightly higher than the room temperature lowered by the air conditioner, was about to pass through the air. Unintentional touch and pass away.

"You first." Discovering the reason for the other party's actions, the two said in unison, and then couldn't help laughing because of such a synchronization rate.

"You go first, ladies first." Zhang Querong spread his hands.

"That's good." Su Yun took the seasoning bottle in her hand, lightly sprinkled some on her steak, and then planned to hand it to him.

Unexpectedly, because Zhang Querong also wanted to reach out to pick it up, the hands of the two met again in an unintentional move.

The warmth that has not subsided is coming again, and because the touching area is larger than before, in addition to the slightly hot body surface temperature, the soft and delicate touch from the back of the hand to the fingertips is also amazing. a swing.

"Sorry." Zhang Querong subconsciously apologized.

Different from his complicated psychology at this time, Su Yun gave him a strange look: "What's wrong? Why do you say that?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Querong's tightly clenched fist, and the fine scars on it made her realize again: "Oh, I've been practicing a lot with guns recently because of filming, the feel of your hand It's a bit rough, but don't worry, Yang Yang will come back after filming, and he didn't scratch me."

Not for this reason...

When Zhang Querong didn't know how to explain it, Zhong Buluo had already stood next to the microphone on the small stage in the corner of the restaurant, and then he spoke in his usual popular hosting posture: "... Tonight, a friend of mine wants to bring an old song with rewritten lyrics for his good friend Miss Su Yun, and I hope she and everyone will like it."

As his words fell, a melodious piano sound slowly flowed out from under the fingertips of the person in front of the piano.

While playing the melody lightly, Chen Boyang did not forget to cast his eyes on Su Yun who was not far away from the stage, and the brows and eyes outlined with a smile were full of gentle and graceful feelings.

She had heard that song before, and it was an English song he had composed and composed. Unexpectedly, after filling in the Cantonese version of the lyrics, accompanied by the flickering but gentle lights and shadows here, it seemed that he wanted to bring people to life. Let us bring you into this dreamlike and beautiful artistic conception together.

Attracted by the sound of the piano played by Chen Boyang, Su Yun turned her body slightly, and also looked at him on the stage with a smile.

There seems to be no place for the rest of the people between the two people who are looking at each other.

Looking at Su Yun's back, Zhang Querong slightly lowered his eyes.
