I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 385 Classic
When the applause started, Qin Muchu was ready to run away.

However, they were not sitting in the first row, nor at the corner of a certain row. There were people on both sides, and they had to wait until everyone left before they could leave.

If you can't help it, just wait.

but……

It's over, the credits have rolled over, why don't you... leave?

Okay, I have to admit, he is a little ignorant.

But there is still a movie to be held in this exhibition hall, so it is not a problem to occupy it forever.

After a while, the staff came in to urge the audience to leave, and the applause gradually stopped.

But this strange scene still aroused the curiosity of many moviegoers lining up outside. When they saw someone coming out, they immediately asked:

"Brother, what kind of movie is there that you applaud and don't want to come out of?"

"A great film. It's a romance film, but it's not just about love."

This is an audience who understands movies and sees a lot of connotations.

He didn’t say much, otherwise it would be a spoiler:

"In short, brother, believe me, this film is definitely worth watching, and worth watching many times."

After speaking, he left the exhibition hall, and the audience following him echoed:
"That guy was right."

This made the audience in line murmur and look at the movie posters at the entrance of the exhibition hall that had not yet been replaced.

"love letter"……

When is the next episode of this movie?
……

"Director Xu, the movie is great."

Outside the exhibition hall, Wang Xiaoshuai gave Qin Muchu a thumbs up, and several people next to him also expressed the same meaning with their eyes.

"Director Wang won the award."

Qin Muchu shook his hand and then asked:
"When will director Wang's "Rizhao Chongqing" be released? Is it available today?"

Wang Xiaoshuai's smile froze, he paused and said:

"Well, I really haven't paid attention to it, just for the past few days."

Just these few days?

Qin Muchu was taken aback.

Isn't this nonsense?The film festival only lasts for about ten days.

And why are those people next to you smiling so happily?
Forget about the elders, even Fan Shuishui laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

Wang Xiaoshuai was also a little embarrassed, but if he didn't show it, it would mean nothing happened.

"Director Qin, it's almost dinner time, why don't we go have something together?"

Hearing this, Lou Ye, who had been laughing so hard just now that he couldn't see his eyes, suddenly stopped smiling as if he was changing his face in a Sichuan opera.

I watched the first show of "Love Letter" early this morning despite the dizziness of a hangover. Partly because I wanted to watch the movie, but mainly because I wanted to take the opportunity to make an appointment with Qin Muchu after the movie to see if he could help ask the director. thing.

Qin Muchu looked at the time and saw that it was already past ten o'clock. Although he originally planned to watch a movie before going to dinner, he had already declined the invitation once last night and it was not easy to refuse this time.

So he said:
"Okay, but I have to invite you. Thank you, Director Wang, for coming to support me."

"Haha, Director Qin is too polite, but I can grab this meal for both of us. Lou Ye has already booked the restaurant, and the French director is doing his best to be a landlord."

Wang Xiaoshuai said with a smile.

It doesn't matter who pays for a meal, after all, they are not short of money.

But today's meal was for a purpose. If someone asked for something and asked someone to pay for it, then there was no shame in saying the request.

"French director?"

Qin Muchu was a little surprised.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I can't go back to China to direct movies for the time being. I can only make movies with French producers. He always talks about it."

Lou Ye took a step forward and explained.

Qin Muchu suddenly realized:
"I thought Director Lou immigrated."

"That's impossible. Our ancestors have been from the Celestial Dynasty for generations, and we can do that wherever we go."

Lou Ye waved his hands, the expression on his face seemed to say that he had never thought about this at all.

These words made Qin Muchu feel more favorable towards this sixth-generation director who had been avoided.

He is banned from directing in China, and one movie after another is banned. It is impossible to say that he is not resentful. In fact, there is a simple and direct solution to all this.

Immigration.

Anyway, his movies can't be released in China, and he doesn't rely on the domestic market to support himself. Even if he immigrate, there will be basically no negative impact on him, but there will be a lot less constraints.

But I didn’t choose that.

No matter how people criticize society or the system in movies, at least their hearts are red.

After agreeing to have dinner together, the group of people prepared to set off. Just as they were about to set off, they were suddenly stopped by two people who appeared in front of them.

There is a man and a woman. The man is holding a thick book in his hand, a bit like a notebook.

The woman wears black-framed glasses and has short hair that reaches her ears. She looks very capable.

The two took a step forward, and the man spoke first:
"Hello, Director Qin, I am Wang Jianglu, a reporter from "Film Literature"."

The woman followed closely and said:
"Hello, Director Qin, I am Yi Lijing, the chief writer of Southern People Weekly."

Qin Muchu was stunned for a moment, looked at a reporter and a main writer in front of him, and responded politely:

"Hello everyone, are you... okay?"

Wang Jianglu and Yi Lijing looked at each other. Under the exchange of glances, Wang Jianglu said with a smile:
"It's like this. Director Yi and I just watched Director Qin's "Love Letter". It can be said to be a treat. We both liked this movie so much.

As for me, I am a reporter for "Film Literature" and I wanted to do an interview around "Love Letter". Writer Yi also wanted to interview Director Qin.I wonder if Director Qin has time? "

Qin Muchu had heard of the magazine "Film Literature". It had been founded many years ago and was not well-known outside the film industry. However, within the film industry, it was regarded as a highly authoritative academic journal.

He didn't know about "Southern People Weekly", but judging from its name, it should be the same as "Nanfang Daily", which belongs to the Southern Newspaper Media Group.

"Nanfang Daily" is not a tabloid, it is very influential in the industry, and they are the ones who judge the "four major beauties".

Interviews were okay, since he was in Cannes just watching movies and waiting for the awards, so he had plenty of time.

In addition, "Love Letter" has also entered the promotion period, but because Zhou Huimin is pregnant, offline activities cannot be held, so various online promotions have become the main method, and various interviews are definitely indispensable.

So he said:
"Not now, we have to go to dinner with Director Wang and the others. Let's leave a phone number and make an appointment later."

As he was about to take out his cell phone, Wang Xiaoshuai said:
"Director Qin, no, it doesn't matter. It's still a little early for dinner. We just happen to go to the restaurant and chat while eating. What do you think, Director Qin?"

"I'm OK."

If the interview ends early, Qin Muchu will naturally not have any objections.

"Two?"

Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Yi Lijing and Wang Jianglu again.

Naturally, the two of them had no problem with picking them up as soon as possible, and immediately agreed to come.

……

There are no private rooms in French restaurants, everyone sits in the lobby.

Qin Muchu and his group of ten people were seated at a large round table. After ordering, they asked the waiter to wait for notification before serving the food and then let them leave.

"What is the format of our interview? Who goes first, who comes last, or together?"

Qin Muchu looked at Yi Lijing and asked.

"Let's go together. We'll ask each other in between."

Wang Jianglu said.

Yi Lijing also nodded in agreement.

This was discussed on the way here. The two magazines have different audiences and there is no competitive relationship. It doesn't matter if they work together. On the contrary, they may bring up more good questions.

"Okay then let's hurry up."

Qin Muchu said.

It's okay to do the interview together. They are the only ones in the restaurant right now, and the interview will inevitably be affected when there are more people at dinner time.

"Master Yi, let's go first."

Wang Jianglu showed his gentlemanly style and handed the first question to Yi Lijing.

Yi Lijing was not polite, took out the voice recorder, turned on the phone, and straightened her body:

"Then I'll start."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Qin Muchu felt that Yi Lijing's whole temperament changed after saying these words.

The lenses of the black-rimmed glasses reflected cold white light, making her eyes very bright. It would be hard to describe them as "bright eyes".

And it’s not the way fans look at their idols when they’re hanging around. To describe it, it’s a bit like...

Hunter looking at prey?
Maybe think too much.

Qin Muchu said in his heart.

At this time, Yi Lijing asked her first question:
"I have read all Director Qin's works, especially the film works, and I found a characteristic.

"The Gift from Room [-]", "The Pursuit of Happiness", and "Father Trapped in Time" are all fathers and children who are the protagonists. Even Downey's goal in "Inception" is to see his children. , parental love seems to be a theme that Director Qin likes to show. Is this related to Director Qin’s own experience? "

As soon as he finished speaking, various expressions such as "surprise and anger" appeared on the table.

It can be seen that Yi Lijing really put her heart into this interview, and she has indeed read Qin Muchu's past works. This summary is so accurate that even some people at the table did not expect it.After hearing what she said, it really made sense.

However, this last question is fatal.

Who doesn't know that Qin Muchu is an orphan?

You ask, "Does the preference to show parental love in movies have something to do with one's own experience?" Doesn't it mean that people make up for whatever they lack, and if reality doesn't exist, they just make it up in movies.

Is this exposing people's scars?
Wang Jianglu almost wanted to cry, regret flooding his heart like a tide.

If he had known that this person was so stunned, he would not have agreed to interview him together, let alone carry forward his gentlemanly style.

Can we still continue the interview?

Why don't you run away? Zeng Li and the others next to Qin Muchu looked like they were about to hit someone.

Just when he was thinking this, a voice sounded:
"Hmm... I'm not sure either. My selection of film materials is very random. Sometimes when I get inspired, I want to shoot that story. Maybe it's also, like you said, influenced by some of my own experiences."

Really answered?
Wang Jianglu looked at Qin Muchu in surprise. He thought that Qin Muchu was being polite by not showing any expression. Unexpectedly, he not only answered, but also answered very seriously.

This made the "angry" expressions on the table disappear, and "surprise" became the only one.

Qin Muchu gently shook Zeng Li's hand under the table and smiled at her to indicate that it was okay.

When he heard Yi Lijing's question at first, his first reaction was that this person was here to stir up trouble, right?
But Yi Lijing didn't look like him. There was no provocative look on his face. The most important thing was that his eyes were very sincere.

This is probably the kind of person who is extremely serious as soon as he enters work. Sometimes he may seem "unhuman", but he actually doesn't mean to offend.

Qin Muchu has seen some people like this, and the most typical one is himself. When he is directing on the set, he is completely different from his usual self.

To put it bluntly, even if Yi Lijing was really provocative on purpose, then he shouldn't be showing off or anything like that right now.

Because it plays into other people's hands.

It should be dealt with after the fact.

Yi Lijing listened attentively, keeping her eyes on Qin Muchu. She nodded and wanted to ask something else, but this time Wang Jianglu spoke first.

Although Qin Muchu didn't care this time, who knows what exciting questions the writer Yi will ask next time.

Before that, I'd better ask someone first, lest they get angry later and I get kicked out without finding anything.

"Apart from TV series, romance films seem to be Director Qin's first attempt? Why did he suddenly think of this subject?"

Yi Lijing opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak.

There is something wrong with this person.

Romance movies are not Qin Muchu’s first attempt.

Sure enough, Qin Muchu on the other side said:

"Actually, this is not my first attempt at a romance film. The main theme of the screenwriter's "Westward Journey" is also love.

But you are right. Among the films I have directed, "Love Letter" is the first one that is purely a romance film.

As for why I came up with this subject, I can’t explain it. It just came to me on a whim. During that time, I suddenly wanted to shoot, and I also wanted to try a new subject. "

"Director Qin is always seeking progress."

Wang Jianglu praised, wiping sweat secretly in his heart.

This interview was a bit sudden and not fully prepared. I forgot that Qin Muchu was also the screenwriter of "Westward Journey".

Although it was a small mistake, it also made him reflect on the questions to ask next, otherwise it would look amateurish to make continuous mistakes.

And just after such a pause, Yi Lijing spoke again:

"Director Zhang Yimou is filming "Love at the Hawthorn Tree", and Director Qin is also the screenwriter, right?"

Qin Muchu nodded:
"Yes, but I am just adapting "Hawthorn Tree Love", it has an original novel."

""Hawthorn Love" is also a romance film. It was made at a very close time and at the same time... It can be said to be a creation. When creating two love movies, was it affected by any events, or was it a matter of accumulation?"

Qin Muchu glanced at Yi Lijing. This person's interviewing skills were very good.

In the words of ordinary reporters or paparazzi, it would be "Are you in love?" But in her words, it turned into a well-founded speculation, and the question was extremely tactful.

The charm of language is fully demonstrated.

"It's all a matter of accumulation," he said.

Yi Lijing didn't expect that Qin Muchu would really choose an answer from the "choose one" option she gave her. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask any further questions.

She was not a tabloid. She adjusted her glasses and said:

"I have read the original novel "Love at the Hawthorn Tree". It is a love story in a special period. I read "Love Letter" today and the two male protagonists have some similarities."

Qin Muchu understood what Yi Lijing said about the male protagonist's resemblance, and was shocked.

The reason why I put it so euphemistically is because I am afraid of spoilers.

I was even more satisfied with the magazine writer, nodded and said:
"Yes, the script of the movie version of "The Hawthorn Tree" basically follows the plot of the original work, and the changes are not very big."

"Is there any deep meaning in this arrangement for the male protagonist, or a special obsession?"

As soon as Yi Lijing's question came up, everyone at the table was a little strange.

They have not read the original work of "Hawthorn Tree Love" and have no way of comparing it. They don't know how it is similar to the male protagonist of "Love Letter", but the word "obsession" is not used casually.

Only Zhang Mo, who knew the scripts of the two movies, suddenly smiled and looked at Qin Muchu playfully.

I didn't think it before, but now that Yi Lijing said it, Xiao Qin really had some psychological problems, right?

Qin Muchu felt embarrassed for the first time, coughed twice and said:
"There is no obsession. It can only be a coincidence. "The Hawthorn Tree" was chosen by Director Zhang. I just adapted it according to Director Zhang's request, Sister Mo, right?"

Zhang Mo, who was suddenly cueed, nodded, this was the truth.

"Director Zhang and I also discussed the script creation of "Love Letter", and I got a lot of inspiration from Director Zhang."

Hey, Xiao Qin is really, why are you so humble, otherwise my dad likes him.

Zhang Mo was sighing when he saw Yi Lijing's eyes light up:
"You mean this obsession is not yours, but Director Zhang's?"

"I didn't say that."

Qin Muchu looked frightened and waved his hands repeatedly.

No matter how you look at it, the expressions and movements feel a bit exaggerated, trying to hide something.

Zhang Mo looked at Yi Lijing, Wang Xiaoshuai and others who had "I understand" expressions on their faces, and then at Qin Muchu who was so fake, his eyes widened.

You said that it took a long time to co-write to shirk the blame?
Are you cheating on my father?
Qin Muchu, on the other hand, has no psychological burden at all. Although the old man did not come to Cannes, he would definitely be very relieved to know that he still played a role.

"What do Director Wang, Director Lou and Jia Dao think of Director Qin's film? This is a joint effort between representatives of the previous generation of directors and representatives of the next generation. As the generation sandwiched between them, this work brings How did it touch you?"

Yi Lijing started the interview again, but the subjects became sixth-generation directors.

Wang Xiaoshuai and others were caught off guard by the sudden question. Lou Ye was the first to adjust and expressed his opinion:

"What I saw in this film was relief. It is not just a romance film, like Li Muzhi..."

Suddenly the words stopped,

"It can't be spoiled, right?"

"It's okay. I won't report anything related to the plot. I'll just treat it as a chat."

When Yi Lijing said this, Lou Ye lost all scruples and expressed all his thoughts about "Love Letter".

From the plot to the acting skills of the actors, from the editing techniques to the photography style, I kept talking for more than ten minutes, and everyone at the table fell silent.

“Of course, my understanding of the movie just now may not be correct, but in my mind this is what the movie looks like.

The great thing about this movie, no, I should say the great thing about the director is that his storytelling ability is so good. "

Speaking of this, Lou Ye suddenly asked Yi Lijing:
"Do you think the male Li Muzhi likes the female Li Muzhi in the movie?"

After so many years of interviewing, this was the first time she was interviewed suddenly. Yi Lijing was stunned for a moment, then recalled the plot of the movie, looked at Qin Muchu and said hesitantly:
"It's probably because he doesn't like it. He just regards Nanli as a substitute for Nv Mu Zhi."

"No, I think I should like it."

Unexpectedly, he was rebutted as soon as he finished speaking.

Everyone turned their attention to Fan Shuishui, and she frowned slightly:

"If the male Mu Zhi doesn't like Nan Li, why hasn't he gone back to the female Mu Zhi for so many years? Moreover, Nan Li and the female Mu Zhi have completely different personalities."

It also seems to make sense.

Yi Lijing also frowned:
"But Nan Muzhi has never confessed his love to Nanli. It was Nanli who said he wanted to get married, but he was still hesitant at that time."

"I think Omuzhi regarded Nanli as a substitute at first, but later he really fell in love with her. He didn't confess because he was originally a shy and passive person. It's normal for this kind of character to hesitate to get married, but in the end Agreeing means that he loves Nanli."

Zhang Mo also joined the discussion at this time.

Faced with this situation where the public is right and the mother-in-law is right, everyone finally turned their attention to the director and actor, hoping that he would reveal the correct answer.

"That's right, it depends on what you think."

Qin Muchu said with a smile.

This is not to make peace with him, but he really thinks so.

The movie belongs to him when he shoots it, but after it is shown, it belongs to everyone in the audience.

He didn't want to give out the so-called "official answer" and eliminate more possibilities for the movie.

However, this answer obviously did not satisfy the girls. If they wanted to say something else, they heard Lou Ye say again:
"This is what I call storytelling ability. "Love Letter" not only tells the story clearly and wonderfully, but also leaves a lot of blank space. As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers... "

As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it and put it in his mouth skillfully, then started looking for a lighter, while saying vaguely:
"I think this movie is a classic of romance movies."

classic!

What kind of thing can be called a "classic"?
After the test of time, it is still top-notch and excellent when viewed many years later. This is called a classic!
People at the table did not expect that Lou Ye, the most "artistic" among the sixth-generation directors, would give such a high evaluation. Even Qin Muchu blushed at the praise.

Look at Lou Ye again, why is he so kind?
Is it because he, like Lao Jiang, was banned from directing?
