Disaster Artist

~www.readwn.com~ I need a friend who tells the truth. "

Chu Chengbai gave an unexpected answer, a very, very unexpected answer—

Think about it seriously, if this incident happened in the fashion industry, then it is absolutely impossible for Chu Chengbai to talk to Lu Qian like this, but this incident happened in the film industry, after the balance of the whole situation was subtly broken, Chu Chengbai and Lu Qian The friendship position between Lu and Qian also changed.

Yu Shao's eyes lit up slightly, this is Chu Chengbai.

Just look at the premiere of "Nocturnal Animals". Chu Chengbai's energy is definitely not limited to fashion, and his entire network can open up different industries.

In this way, Chu Chengbai can play an important role in "City of Falling Stars", Lu Qian, and even the future development of Blue Whale Pictures.

Thinking of this, Yu Shao couldn't help but get excited. He looked at Lu Qian and then at Chu Chengbai, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Lu Qian was also a little surprised, and looked at Chu Chengbai carefully, but instead of showing a grateful expression, he made a half-joking joke.

"Designer Chu, you don't look like the type who complains about himself in life."

Instead, Chu Chengbai suppressed his smile and looked at Lu Qian expressionlessly. Although there was no special foul language or demeanor, he could clearly feel his complaints.

After a pause, Chu Chengbai continued, "Friends who are willing to tell the truth about movies."

In real life, Chu Chengbai naturally has many, many friends, and he also has friends who are willing to tell the truth, otherwise his life would be wrapped in lies, and that would be too lonely and lonely.

But in the field of film, Chu Chengbai really couldn't find such a friend, because of his status and his experience, he is obviously a novice director who has just entered the industry but has already stood at the top of the pyramid in the industry, all this is determined He has trouble finding real friends.

Perhaps, Lu Qian can be regarded as the only one.

Lu Qian pursed the corners of his mouth, "Do you want to hear the 100% truth, or the truth that is between truth and politeness but still maintains sincerity?"

Chu Chengbai was speechless, "Why didn't I know, you are so glib, I think, in those social occasions, you should be able to feel like a fish in water."

Lu Qian nodded in affirmation, "If I want, I can; the point is whether I am willing, or whether they are so important that I am willing."

The words were a bit convoluted, but the smile on the corner of Chu Chengbai's mouth rose, "It seems that I can be treated like this, should I feel honored?"

Lu Qian spread his hands and bowed slightly, without denying it.

Chu Chengbai immediately laughed out loud.

Yu Shao's eyes moved quickly between the two people, and he quickly made a judgment, nodded his head slightly, did not stay any longer, and then quietly left——

On such an occasion, it is not appropriate for him to stay here, he must worry about Chu Chengbai's face; moreover, he believes that Lu Qian can handle it well.

Chu Chengbai noticed Yu Shao's leaving figure, and nodded inwardly:

Lu Qian's team is really smart.

As soon as the premiere ended, Lu Qian disappeared from the scene, while Chu Chengbai and the entire film crew stayed in the movie palace, greeting reporters and audience briefly, warming up for the press conference, but Chu Chengbai always cared about The expression of Lu Qian, and the real evaluation of the movie.

So, Chu Chengbai found Shen Yanshu and asked about Lu Qian's whereabouts.

Shen Yanshu was a little surprised and flustered, but he still told Lu Qian's whereabouts accurately, and guided Chu Chengbai to find Lu Qian:

beach.

After Lu Qian left the movie palace, he actually carried his shoes and ran to the beach for a walk, bathed in the gradually sinking sunset, and quietly listened to the sound of the waves.

Unknowingly, Chu Chengbai's mood also quieted down, and all the hustle and bustle of the movie palace was left behind, and it seemed that they were not so important in front of nature.

"So, are you going to tell the 100% truth?" Chu Chengbai asked.

Lu Qian shook his head, "I often feel that we always say that I long for the truth, but the reality is that 100% truth is often cruel. We think we can face it calmly, but the reality is that we may be completely destroyed by the truth. Few, very few can bear the weight of the truth."

"So, I am more inclined to say what I think is the truth, and then let the parties think and dig slowly to find out the truth by themselves."

"It's like a movie."

Chu Chengbai listened very carefully to the previous words without much surprise, but his eyes lighted up slightly at the last sentence.

Lu Qian continued.

"I love the movie, but I'm not crazy about it."

"In my opinion, it's a much more polished and mature film, and there's no question that you understand the director's job better than 'Single'."

"This movie magnifies your strengths, but it also magnifies your shortcomings. Therefore, whether the movie is good or bad should be judged by every audience."

advantage?

shortcoming?

Chu Chengbai chewed Lu Qian's words carefully.

Chu Chengbai is a designer whose strength lies in "display".

In fact, taking the runway as an example, the understanding is very intuitive. In a small space, objects, models, lights and environments are displayed, and clothing is displayed. A scene is constructed through various displays, and colors, designs, models performance to collide with emotions.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Chengbai has always been strong in creating atmosphere and capturing emotions, from "Single" to "Nocturnal Animals".

Relatively speaking, the disadvantage lies in "expression".

There is no story on the runway. Simply put, the model is only responsible for walking, not for narration. The narration should be completed by the designer's clothing.

But the problem is that the "narrative" of fashion must be simple. It is difficult for designers to tell an intricate story and emotion in clothing design. Everything must be simple, direct and impactful, so the atmosphere and mood presented on the catwalk , are often lumpy fragments.

The same is true of Chu Chengbai’s movies~www.readwn.com~ The large chunks of emotions are gradually magnified, but the bonds between these emotions and the characters and the plot are very weak. The flow of emotions connects.

Such a description is a bit too abstract. Intuitively speaking, it is:

The audience can see the characters make one choice after another, but they can't understand why they do it, so the conflict will become bloody, the drama will become farce, and the story will not connect together.

In the previous work "Single", the story was private and completely revolved around one character, and there were not even many supporting roles, which gave Chu Chengbai more room to play.

In the new work "Nocturnal Animals", the story is intertwined and complicated. The story revolves around three characters, and the relationship between the characters is very complicated. Therefore, while Chu Chengbai's advantages are further amplified, his shortcomings are also highlighted. , to some extent affect perception.

But as Lu Qian said, this is a very personal matter, and audiences who like it will still like it, because those emotions and emotions can still be resonated; while those audiences who cannot understand the characters and stories will not get the opportunity to enter it , Naturally, I can't like it.
