Movie kings top-notch love each other daily

Two days before the premiere of "Story of Spring City" in Cannes, Fu Shuli and Xuan Ye finished filming for the Zebra brand.

On the day of the premiere, they met Zhang Yihe, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.Zhang Yihe was used to wearing Chinese clothes, and now he was wearing a tight suit, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

The crew walked across the red carpet together, and then entered the screening room.A tense atmosphere spread between them, but no one spoke.Because they all know that saying anything now is superfluous.

When many people got the filming manual, they paid special attention to this same-sex film from China.There was a long line of people at the scene early on, and many of them were Asian faces.

When the director and the two leading actors entered the arena, there was a slight commotion at the scene, especially after seeing Fu Shuli and Xuan Ye, the domestic audience began to discuss in a low voice.

The screening officially started, and when the producer's cg animation ended, the movie screen was displayed in front of the audience.

First, there is a panorama, the blazing sun, the squeaking cicadas, the shaking shade... These elements quickly bring people into the environment of the story, and the audience begins to realize that the film takes place in the summer in the countryside.

A car is slowly passing by, and the camera switches to the interior of the car. The retro colors and old-fashioned clothing indicate the time when the story happened, China about 30 or [-] years ago.

The camera continues to zoom in and change to a close-up shot. Jiang Haoran, played by Xuan Ye, is sitting in the car and looking out the window, with a bored expression on his face—he didn’t come to the country voluntarily, or he didn’t have any interest in this trip to the country. any expectations.

Until he noticed the middle school teacher who moved in next door...

There are not many same-sex films registered for the competition this year. One is to tell social issues through same-sex themes, which pay more attention to social benefits than artistry; the other is a lesbian film about dreams, which has certain innovative shooting techniques.In contrast, "A Tale of Spring City" is a more pure love film. In the two-hour film length, almost three-quarters are about love, but it is this kind of purity that moves people.

Of course, this film is not just a love story.When editing, Zhang Yihe reduced the influence of the social environment, crushed the background of that era and stuffed it into the love story of the two. When the audience watched the movie, the first reaction was that it was a romance movie, and they would not immediately notice it. The film's critique of reality.However, when film critics want to dig out the background of the story, they will suddenly find that there are so many details in the movie that can be referred to, all of which are specific backgrounds in a specific era at that time, which have affected the love of the two protagonists from various aspects.

In two hours, they saw the two protagonists in the story go from guarding against each other to having skin-to-skin contact, and also saw them go from being side-by-side to being separated from each other.Compact plot, excellent performance, rich lens language, moving music... hardly any audience took their eyes off the screen for even a second.

At the end of the screening, people were still engrossed in Jiang Haoran's crying face, unable to recover for a long time.It wasn't until the melodious cello sound came out along with the ending song that people were startled, and their emotions were withdrawn from the story, and their faces were covered with tears.

Xuanye watched the play again, his tears were so muddy that he didn't even see the cast list that rolled at the end clearly, and naturally he didn't see it either. In the starring column, his name was ranked before Fu Shuli.

Fu Shuli's eyes were also red, he stretched out his arms to hug Xuanye and comforted him softly.

I don't know who applauded first, but by coincidence, all moviegoers stood up to pay tribute to the main creative team.

"Great! It's amazing!"

"A moving love story!"

"Everyone should go see it."

……

The film has received almost unanimous praise.

Shortly after the premiere, Zhang Yihe informed them that "Spring City Story" was shortlisted for the main competition.In the subsequent re-screening, there was still a long line outside the theater. The audience who missed the premiere day gathered outside the door because of word of mouth, wanting to witness this film that scored high in the show book.

That is to say, some media began to invite the main creative team to participate in the interview.

Fu Shuli is very low-key, except for the official interview at the Cannes Film Festival, all other invitations have been rejected.Doing an interview before an award is announced, whether you say you're going to win an award or not, is not a wise statement.

After that, Fu Shuli began to participate in various forum activities. When filming "Spring City Story", he gradually became aware of the bottleneck encountered in his performance.It doesn't make sense, Fu Shuli's achievements today are extremely high. He has almost reached the top of the mountain after winning the five best actor awards.

But only almost.

Fu Shuli's current situation is like those who got 99 points in the exam. They want to get full marks, but they can't improve no matter what.

The remaining 1 point is the most difficult.

Fu Shuli is now stuck in this 1 point, and he can't find the answer for a while, so he hopes to watch more at the film festival, hoping to be inspired.

At the awards ceremony, a beautiful American actress was in charge of hosting. She stood on the stage in a gorgeous dress, took a deep breath, and said, "I am very happy to be here to host this session. Next, please The chairman of the jury announced the best actor award at this year's Cannes International Film Festival."

"Me?" The judges didn't expect to be called, and didn't react for a moment.Because the guest host was responsible for announcing the awards last year, I don’t know if this year it was for a little change, so it was changed to be announced by the chairman of the jury.

"Yes, it's you." The actress laughed, and the audience burst into laughter.

But it still failed to dilute the tense atmosphere in the venue, and everyone was waiting for the moment when the awards were announced.

The chairman of the jury got up, opened the red and white envelope, pulled out the small card inside, and announced: "This year's Cannes International Film Festival's Best Actor Award winner - Xuanye."

Intense screams and applause immediately erupted from the scene.

Fu Shuli's heart that had been mentioned in mid-air finally fell down, showing a relieved smile.

The camera of the director's station fell on Xuanye, and the live music started at the same time.

Xuan Ye sat on the chair, as if he didn't hear it, he looked around the people around him, and seemed to be thinking, why didn't anyone go up to receive the award?

Until Fu Shuli pushed his arm and urged him in a low voice: "Go up."

Xuanye realized this, he inspected the audience again, and finally found that no one stood up and went to the podium, everyone was looking at him, he actually won the best actor award?

"Really?" Xuanye still couldn't believe it, and asked again, "How could it be me?"

Fu Shuli straightened his bow tie and said with certainty, "That's right, my dear is you."

Xuanye: "But..."

Fu Shuli: "Don't keep everyone waiting."

Xuanye stood up, his eyes still on Fu Shuli: "But you are obviously the protagonist!"

Fu Shuli: "Why are you so stupid? You have always been the protagonist of "A Spring City Story". What's more, there is no distinction between protagonist and supporting actor in the Cannes Actor Awards. Since the jury has selected you, it is affirming your strength."

Xuanye was stunned: "How is it possible? I...a person like me..."

Fu Shuli: "Okay, don't dawdle, go up quickly."

Xuan Ye buttoned up his dress and walked onto the stage with a blank mind.

The host led him to the podium and asked him to deliver his acceptance speech.

Xuanye glanced at the jury, and still couldn't believe it, how could this award be awarded to him?

The lights on the stage were too dazzling, Xuanye squinted his eyes, and could barely see the appearance of the people in the audience.

It was not easy to meet Fu Shuli's gaze, and after receiving the encouraging gaze from the other party, it seemed that this had a sense of reality, Xuanye said slowly: "Thank you, thank you judges, thank you crew, "Spring City Story" is a very good movie. Excellent work, thank you for giving me this affirmation.”

"But I especially want to thank another actor in the crew - Fu Shuli. As a new actor, I can't imagine the achievements I have achieved today, and all of this is inseparable from his patient teaching. " Xuanye paused, as if he was thinking about how to express it, and spoke very slowly, "Fu Shuli is a very good actor and an excellent teacher. I have never seen such a moving face. Whether it's laughing, crying, or sad, it's just a moment. It can make people empathize. I'm learning from him every moment. Sometimes just by his gaze, I feel like I'm in the drama right away .”

At this moment, the camera gave Fu Shuli a close-up. The former best actor in Cannes was sitting off the stage, looking at the young man on stage, with a touching smile on his face and starry eyes.

Afterwards, the female star led Xuanye to the center of the stage, and personally awarded him the little golden leaf representing honor.

The scene cheered again.

……

Xuanye's award caused an uproar in the domestic entertainment industry. No one thought that a newcomer who participated in a movie for the first time could win the best actor at the Cannes Film Festival where talented people gather.For a while, all the major headlines in China were Xuan Ye, and even "The Story of Spring City" won the Palme d'Or without such a high degree of social attention.

And the ones who lost their fans at the beginning came back one after another, shouting how I am so good.

More and more people began to pay attention to "A Spring City Story", and then they were very depressed to find that this movie was not released in China, but was going to be released in the North American and European markets a month later.

Overseas netizens were going crazy with joy, went to the movies together hand in hand, and then froze.

"Fuck, what kind of fairy love story is this!"

"Recommended by decapitation, you will definitely regret it if you don't watch it!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"Xuanye's figure is too good! Husband hit me head-on!"

"Woooooo, Jiang Haoran is a big pig, cry with me!"

"The scenery is also beautiful! Where is this place, I want to go!"

"I want to go to +1, do you have any sisters to check in with you?"...

Immediately afterwards, screenshots of the movie were circulated on Weibo. At this time, Zhang Yihe's high level and almost abnormal strictness were reflected.

The movie's delicate depiction of the countryside has aroused the nostalgia of countless people, and almost every frame of the movie screenshot is a desktop.The screenshots circulated include those of the two meeting for the first time, some of Fu Shuli getting wet, some of Xuan Ye taking a shower, some showing the scenery of the countryside, and of course, many of them having sex.

Zhang Yihe didn't let the protagonist reveal his point, but it was this kind of half-covered reverie that made him more seductive.

During this process, there were two pictures that spread the most and were forwarded and licked by countless people.

One is a picture of Fu Shuli's profile and naked back. The light, body, and composition here are all beautiful, especially Fu Shuli's cold but seductive eyes. Countless people screamed "I can".

The other one is the gif of Xuan Ye showing his buttocks. It became popular on the Internet because of its tightness and uprightness, and was even rated as the sexiest buttocks in China by netizens.Xuan Ye's straddling movement was also captured and disseminated by others. Countless netizens saved this picture and licked it over and over again.
