Disaster Artist

~www.readwn.com~ Pros...Cons...

Chu Chengbai chewed Lu Qian's words carefully.

He never interjected to interrupt Lu Qian, and maintained a listening posture, very focused and serious, with a deadpan face, it was difficult to tell whether he was irritated or not, even though his internal organs were turning upside down, the surface was still calm, There is no flaw.

Sea breeze, slightly blowing.

In fact, the beach is not so romantic, the fine sand, dirty garbage, sticky sea breeze, and the scorching sun enough to evaporate all the water, standing on the beach, it is really difficult to maintain a noble and elegant posture, anyone In the face of seawater attacks, they will show a embarrassed posture.

It is precisely because of this that private beaches are so popular.

Chu Chengbai doesn't like the beach.

But at this time, those annoying things are no longer important.

Walking slowly, thoughts spread out in the sea breeze, the west-slanting sunset dyed the vast sky and ocean orange, and the world burned.

The toes feel the softness of the beach one by one, and the sand grains between the toes playfully become gentle. Breaking away from the residual heat of the beach surface, they burrow into the sand to feel the coolness, and let the sand wrap themselves Use the soles of your feet to feel the rhythm of ocean breathing.

Then-

"thanks."

Chu Chengbai raised his head, glanced at Lu Qian, and spoke.

Lu Qian was a little surprised.

However, Chu Chengbai had already withdrawn his gaze, avoided Lu Qian's eyes, straightened his waist and opened his shoulders again, and regained the demeanor of the usual design director of Bohan.

"Thank you for your opinion, it is professional enough and objective enough."

The corners of the mouth slightly raised, revealing a slight smile.

"Sure enough, professionals are indeed different."

"One word wakes up the dreamer."

"During the shooting and production of this work, I always had doubts, a little, very faint, hidden in the corner, but never disappeared. I am not sure what that doubt is, because there is no clue at all, and I am not sure whether It's an illusion created by my own anxiety."

"But now, I understand."

Perhaps film and fashion are both a form of artistic expression, and there is something in common between the two, but when you really get into it, you realize:

These are two different things.

Of course, there are similarities, but more often than not, there are completely different ways of expressing them.

Lu Qian paused for a moment, then looked at Chu Chengbai, with a smile on his face, and with a slightly teasing tone, "I'm very happy that I can help."

Chu Chengbai nodded slightly, "I need some professional advice."

This is not like Chu Chengbai at all.

Lu Qian looked at Chu Chengbai unexpectedly, "Are you sure you haven't changed your shell? This is definitely not the teacher Chu Chengbai I know."

Chu Chengbai rolled his eyes, and didn't buy Lu Qian's teasing at all, "Please don't talk like we know each other very well."

"Haha." Lu Qian clasped his fists together, "I'm rude, I crossed the line."

There was a smile in Chu Chengbai's eyes, and he remained serious, "I'm serious. The perspective of a professional director is still somewhat different after all."

Lu Qian tilted his head, "Don't you know that I am also an amateur director who has become a monk halfway? I am not a professional graduate."

Chu Chengbai glanced at Lu Qian, "You know what I mean. I mean, everyone has their own talents and abilities. My talent is in costume design, and your talent is in directing. It doesn’t matter where you came from, the most important thing is that kind of inspiration, that keen sense of touch.”

"I am suitable for costume design. After working as a director, I am more sure of this."

"However, being a director should be just a beautiful dream. I have no talent."

Chu Chengbai's words were very calm and frank, and he expounded quietly and plainly.

However, it fell into Lu Qian's ears like thunder.

"What does it mean?"

"It means literally. A Qian, you are smart enough, you don't need me to explain."

Once, once.

Of course, Lu Qian understood what Chu Chengbai meant. Obviously, Chu Chengbai was saying that he was not going to continue directing movies anymore.

Although Chu Chengbai is not a prolific director, "Nocturnal Animals" is only the second work, who knows whether the third film will have to wait another seven years, or even longer; but it is one thing to slowly find inspiration However, it is another matter to completely give up the director's work.

And, "Nocturnal Animals" just landed at Blue Summer Film Festival today, and there's even a post-screening press conference awaiting—

What's the matter?

Seeing Lu Qian's surprise, Chu Chengbai laughed out loud.

In fact, he rarely saw Lu Qian with such a groggy expression, surprised and flustered, which made Chu Chengbai couldn't hold back his laughter, "It turns out that you are also flustered."

Lu Qian laughed helplessly, "I am a human being, not a robot, so of course I would be nervous and flustered."

"Haha." Chu Chengbai laughed heartily.

"Are you really not going to continue directing movies?"

"Um."

"But, why? Didn't the work this afternoon win applause from the audience? I think the audience and media reporters responded very well."

Lu Qian is serious. The premiere response of "Nocturnal Animals" is indeed excellent. If nothing else, the performance of the program and the reputation of the media should be very impressive.

Even if Lu Qian himself doesn't like it that much, he must admit that Chu Chengbai has done an excellent job.

Chu Chengbai shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with the evaluation of the movie."

"The most important thing is myself. I am an excellent student. I know how to imitate and how to perform, but I don't have any creativity, at least at the film level."

"Actually, I felt it when I was shooting my first work seven years ago, but it was not clear, and I didn't understand it. I also felt it when I was shooting this time, but I can't be sure about it. Because of this, just seeing your expression, I chased after you."

True geniuses often have a full and accurate understanding of themselves. They know their strengths, their lower limits, and at the same time have a model understanding of their upper limits.

Self-knowledge is also a kind of wisdom. Unfortunately, most people don't have it~www.readwn.com~ Lu Qian slightly raised his jaw, he could understand Chu Chengbai.

From "Single" to "Nocturnal Animals", it is true, well-made and well-textured, but sadly, the shots do lack a little inspiration.

Objectively speaking, for most people, it doesn’t matter if they lack this bit of inspiration, even if they can’t become a one percent genius, it doesn’t matter, at least they can become the existence of the first and second layers of the pyramid. In the film industry, There are countless such directors.

To be precise, Chu Chengbai is better than most directors.

But the important point is that Chu Chengbai still has his main job. He is a designer. As a designer, he is one percent of existence, while directing is just a side job. Now that he has understood the upper limit of his talent In this situation, I have no interest in the "ordinary" and "mediocre" director's work.

In other words, this Versailles is Chu Chengbai's greatest pride.

It can be seen from this that Chu Chengbai has unparalleled confidence and enthusiasm for his profession, which is a part that movies will never be able to match.
