The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 73: Light and shadow are life, color is soul! (with scene pictures)

……

[Relationship exposed! The newly crowned Palme d'Or director and the "Goddess of Fairyland" were seen enjoying a night out in Los Angeles, acting intimately!]

Three women vying for one man! A famous director holds hands with three beauties on the streets of Los Angeles. Who will be the first wife?

[Sister Fairy's pure image collapses! She is suspected of interfering in the relationship between a famous director and a mysterious young actress!]

……

There is a lot of news on the Internet, both true and false.

However, there is only one photo.

Lu Zhiyuan, Liu Yifei, Reba, and an unknown mysterious woman took a night tour of Los Angeles and left in the same car.

In the photo, Lu Zhiyuan was gentlemanly for once and helped Liu Yifei open the car door. The profiles of both of them were captured clearly.

From beginning to end, the two of them didn't even touch each other's clothes.

Is this the relationship exposed?
"It's all just groundless speculation!"

"Sister Shanshan, which media outlet is spreading nonsense?"

"I think they want to close the shop!"

The photos are real.

But Miss Jingtian, from beginning to end, could not see any intimacy between Lu Zhiyuan and Liu Yifei.

On the contrary, Reba has always followed Lu Zhiyuan like a little tail.

Jing Tian still knew about the relationship between Reba and Lu Zhiyuan.

She is not jealous.

Reba looks very similar to a player named Ozil from Werder Bremen. Her face is so tough, like a man.

It’s definitely not Lu Zhiyuan’s cup of tea.

Lu Zhiyuan likes Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei, who look gentle and graceful.

At the celebration banquet that day, he actually asked Liu Shishi to wear more clothes, worried that her back would be exposed too much and she would catch a cold?

Jing Tian was almost mad to death.

Jing Tian remembered that she was wearing very little that day, not only exposing her back but also her collarbone, which made her look extremely sexy.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't remind her at all.

How abominable.

However, Liu Shishi helped Lu Zhiyuan win the Palme d'Or for Best Director. She is a lucky star, so it is normal for her to receive his love and care.

"Tiantian, you already know it's all groundless, why are you still sulking here?"

Zhao Shanshan looked at Jing Tian, ​​almost crushing the phone in her hand, and laughed and joked a few times.

"Tiantian, if you really want to know what his relationship with Liu Yifei is, just give him a call. With his straightforward personality, he'll definitely tell you the truth."

If it were three months ago, when "The Heart Labyrinth" had not yet been shortlisted for Cannes, Lu Zhiyuan might still need to please Jing Tian.

But now, Lu Zhiyuan is a famous director who won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

If he likes Liu Yifei, he can just pursue her directly.

You don't have to look at anyone's face.

"I won't fight."

Jing Tian glanced at Zhao Shanshan gloomily, arguing with himself, and muttered, "Who am I? What right do I have to make this call? He can go out with whoever he wants. What's it to me?"

Haha!

It’s none of my business. Are you jealous or sulking?

Zhao Shanshan knew that if she didn't call Lu Zhiyuan, Jing Tian would probably not be able to sleep for a few nights.

Then, she suffered.

"Ayuan, are you busy?"

In front of Jing Tian, ​​Zhao Shanshan made a transatlantic call to Lu Zhiyuan: "I have something to ask you..."

Don’t!

what are you doing?

Miss Jing Tian suddenly became nervous and kept shaking her head at Zhao Shanshan.

But Zhao Shanshan gave Jing Tian a calming gesture and asked Lu Zhiyuan, "When will you be back? The Directors Association has invited you to attend an academic conference."

"I'll be back in two days."

The academic conference of the Directors Association, what does this have to do with me?
Lu Zhiyuan instinctively wanted to refuse.

But when I think about it carefully, the chairman of the Directors Association seems to be Chen Kaige?

This face must still be given.

After all, when he held a celebration banquet, Chen Kaige also came to support him.

This kind of interpersonal communication is really annoying, but it is unavoidable.

After all, we are all in the same circle.

Fortunately, the time is not long, just an afternoon to chat casually.

You don't have to write the speech yourself. Just let Brother Kun find someone to write it for him and just do it casually.

"Ayuan, what's the weather like in Los Angeles?"

"There must be a lot of sexy beauties on the beach this season, right?"

"The Queen Mary Cruise Hotel, the scenery is particularly beautiful, isn't it? It's especially suitable for a date with Liu Yifei?"

Zhao Shanshan seemed to be chatting casually.

But Lu Zhiyuan quickly understood Zhao Shanshan's subtext.

Give Miss Jingtian a satisfactory answer quickly.

Otherwise, she might tear down the company.

"Los Angeles has a great climate. As for whether there are sexy beauties on the beach, I haven't paid much attention to them. But there are a lot of fat women."

"American women, after the age of 25, are like balloons. I really don't know if those women are secretly eating pig feed every day."

Lu Zhiyuan sighed.

Stealing pig feed?
Haha!

You have such a mouth, you can say such things!
On the other end of the phone, Jing Tian almost laughed like a pig.

Realizing something was wrong, she quickly covered her mouth again, but it was too late.

Seeing that she was exposed, Miss Jing Tian stopped pretending and asked casually, "Ayuan, how does it feel to date Liu Yifei?"

After she finished speaking, her ears stood up high.

"feel good."

After hearing Lu Zhiyuan's answer, Miss Jing Tian almost crushed her phone.

His eyes suddenly widened.

There seemed to be flames burning in his pupils. If he was provoked again, Jing Tian swore that he would immediately let Lu Zhiyuan see what a fiery demon from hell was!
This guy really doesn't care what he says, he dares to say anything!

Even if you try to coax me, I will pretend I don't know.

You are so bold now, cheating on me outside without even trying to hide it?
I have never seen anyone as arrogant as you in my life!

"Maybe because Los Angeles is close to the sea, the seafood is relatively fresh. The seafood risotto at the Queen Mary Cruise Hotel is first-rate."

"However, eating on the deck is not a pleasant experience... The sea breeze is a bit sticky and makes me feel uncomfortable all over."

"But at dinner that day, I was the only grown man, and the other three were little girls. I was too embarrassed to say anything, lest they would say I was being hypocritical."

"Although Liu Yifei is a nice person, if she invites me to dinner on the deck again next time, I will definitely refuse."

"Of course, overall, the experience at the Queen Mary Cruise Hotel is still good."

"Tiantian, next time we're filming a movie, if you're interested, I can invite you to go."

Lu Zhiyuan first praised the taste of the seafood risotto, and then began to complain about the dining location chosen by Liu Yifei and the others.

After complaining for a long time, he changed his tone, spoke a few gentle words to Jing Tian, ​​and extended an invitation.

“I don’t like seafood risotto.”

Although Jing Tian was very happy in her heart, she still said it proudly.

I won’t go wherever Liu Yifei invites you to go.

Los Angeles is so big, where can’t you go to eat?

Why should I look for memories of Liu Yifei for you?
"It's getting late. I'm going home. You can talk to Sister Shanshan slowly."

After saying that, Jing Tian went out humming a tune, feeling completely relieved.

Liu Yifei actually asked Lu Zhiyuan to have dinner on the deck?
She didn't know that Lu Zhiyuan was a germaphobe and would take a shower as soon as he got a little sweaty.

The sea breeze made him sticky all over. Wouldn't he explode on the spot?

Liu Yifei doesn’t even understand this, so she’s definitely not Lu Zhiyuan’s cup of tea.

Those media gossips on the Internet only know how to report false news.

After Jing Tian left completely, Zhao Shanshan sighed and said earnestly: "Ayuan, if you want to date Liu Yifei, I have no objection."

"But you have to take care of the details yourself."

Lu Zhiyuan is free to date whomever he wants.

All Zhao Shanshan wants is Lu Zhiyuan's talent to help their company gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry and create a city business card for their hometown.

It’s not like they want Lu Zhiyuan to be a slave of their company.

As for whether Jing Tian likes Lu Zhiyuan?
This is Jingtian’s business.

She is Jing Tian's agent in the entertainment industry, not Jing Tian's all-round nanny.

"Sister Shanshan, you think too much. At least now, Liu Yifei and I have nothing to do with each other."

Lu Zhiyuan emphasized again that he had no intention of falling in love recently and had been doing the preliminary planning for the movie.

An investment of 10 million US dollars is close to 100 million RMB.

Do you think this is just playing house?
Lu Zhiyuan finally got Apple, Focus Features, and Universal Pictures to endorse the film, just to make a good one.

Starry Sky is also not vague. It has recently been discussing the distribution cooperation of this movie with Wanda and is also preparing to make a big move.

So many companies have come together to make this film as successful as possible.

As the leader of the entire project, Lu Zhiyuan must of course devote all his energy and try his best to plan all the details.

At this critical moment, he goes out to fall in love?
What a joke!
What will others think?
With such irresponsibility, who would be willing to invest in him in the future?
"Ayuan, finish this project. I'll get Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi to come to the next celebration party."

Zhao Shanshan said this half-truthfully.

She was very satisfied with Lu Zhiyuan's attitude of working hard.

As long as they don't harm Jing Tian, ​​she has no objection to whoever Lu Zhiyuan wants to harm, and she can even help to make connections.

"Sister Shanshan, stop testing me. I really don't have any."

Lu Zhiyuan hung up the phone and continued to draw his concept map.

The character concept art is almost finished.

Next, he would need to spend half a month visiting several of the scenes he had planned and personally inspecting the scenes.

"Brooklyn's industrial district is our first stop. The abandoned factories and graffiti walls are perfect for expressing the dilapidated feel of cyberpunk."

"Dreba and Keanu Reeves, the father and daughter in the movie, will be living in a nearby neighborhood."

"Reba will set up a laboratory in the abandoned factory."

Lu Zhiyuan needs to go and inspect the environment in person.

If appropriate, he would ask James to rent an abandoned factory and carry out preliminary renovations.

As for the concept map, it can only be made after he conducts an on-site inspection.

If it were another director, at this stage, they would probably still have to communicate with the art department to determine the style...which would take even longer.

To make a movie, the director needs to do a lot of work.

It is impossible, as many people think, that I can easily make a movie by writing a good script, finding a few suitable actors, and forming a team.

You're just overthinking it!

Such a casual movie is probably not even as good as the online movies in terms of quality.

"The Buzludzha Monument in Bulgaria, this is our second stop."

"Full of ruggedness and a sense of the future, this magnificent relic left behind by the former Soviet Union is a typical example of [utopian architecture]. Due to the severe damage, broken glass, peeling murals, it exudes a sense of grand desolation."

"This will be the second major fight scene in the entire film, where [AI Keanu] fights [cyborg villain Tom Hiddleston]."

One in New York.

One in Bulgaria.

The two places are completely poles apart.

"After deciding on these two places, I have to go to Singapore next to see the Marina Bay Sands Hotel."

"This place's futuristic architecture, the fantastical combination of sky gardens and mirrored pools, is perfect for the exterior setting of Jing Tian's company, Future Technology, in the movie."

……

"Finally, it's the lighthouse on Weizhou Island in China."

"The lighthouse on Weizhou Island, one of the loneliest in the world, will be the place where Reba, the creator of AI, will sacrifice herself."

"The boundary between the sea and the sky, the lonely lighthouse, and the exposed rocks here naturally create an atmosphere of loneliness and desolation."

“Just find a good day and wait for the sunset to dye the sky and the sea orange and red.”

"That's the most textured shot in the entire movie."

In Lu Zhiyuan's vision, all the clues and the entangled fates of all the characters in the movie "Upgrade" will be hidden in this scene.

……

Light and shadow are life, color is soul, this is the art of film!

Using as few special effects as possible and shooting on location can save a lot of money...and the quality will be better!
After all, there are so many magnificent scenes on Earth!
As long as you put your heart into it, you can definitely find the right one!
