Chapter 547 [I am very successful as a director, and even more successful as an actor]
The New York Film Festival is the oldest and most avant-garde film festival in the United States, and it has a palace-level leadership position in the Eastern Independent Art Film Festival. This is the dream place for avant-garde art and art film directors in the world.
"The Lost Lover" is very suitable for participating in this film festival. Although it is not very literary, the content is mostly literary dramas. It sells best in North America, which has already made Liang Kun earn tens of millions of dollars. He adapted it into a movie and became very popular in New York, with many book fans supporting it.
This film not only participates in the film festival, but also the "opening film" of this film festival, which has attracted much attention.
Liang Kun and Son Ye-jin walked on the red carpet together, which was particularly eye-catching.
Liang Kun's weight has recovered to 80 kilograms and has been adjusted to the figure of a top supermodel. He is wearing a light blue suit and walks on the red carpet like a fashion show. Sun Ye-jin is wearing a white dress, which is in line with her temperament and adds a bit of fairy spirit.
In the play, they are brothers and sisters, and now they appear together, and the reporters feel that there is news to write.
There are not many Asian stars who have become famous in Hollywood. Chinese people used to be famous only by making action movies. Liang Kun starring in dramas was a huge breakthrough. Son Ye-jin and Liang Kun have a good relationship and have worked together in Asia. Many people think they are a couple, and the American media also want to talk about this.
Chow Runfa also played the male lead in a drama film before, but unfortunately he failed in three consecutive movies, and he was incomparable to the global box office with Liang Kun.
If this movie is successful, Liang Kun will make three consecutive movies, which is something that Chinese stars have never done before.
Li Lianjie's discs were sold well before, but the box office of "Danny Wolf Dog" in 2005 was not good, and it caused quite a bit of controversy in the Chinese-speaking area, which led him to step down from the altar.
Cheng Long doesn't make a profit in every drama. He entered Hollywood in the 1980s. "The Killer Hao" released in 1980 has received a bad response. He has been dormant for many years. It was not until 1998 that Cheng Long became famous in Hollywood with "Rush Hour".
Liang Kun has not failed since his debut. Whether in Asia or Hollywood, his legendary story is more interesting. And Americans now know that he is going to participate in the Yanjing Olympics, which makes him even more unique.
There were some movie fans at the scene, and book fans asked Liang Kun for autographs, most of whom were young white women, not Asians.
"The Dark Knight" has not been released yet? But the crew members unanimously praised Liang Kun for his good acting in the interview. Now there are not so many people opposing him. He is the well-deserved "Chinese business card" and "the light of Chinese people"!
Sun Ye-jin is equally glorious with Liang Kun? She has experienced the taste of becoming an international superstar.
This is completely different from her famous Korean movies? Not many people watch Korean movies, and only if they become popular in Hollywood? She has fans all over the world.
Charlize Theron walked the red carpet by himself today, and Stewart Townsend did not come to accompany her. At the beginning of the month, the media broke up that the two had broken up.
Liang Kun triggered the butterfly effect? Theron did not make any major publicity for "The Battle of Seattle", allowing Townsend and the movie to fend for themselves.
The movie has not been released for more than half a year after filming, and it is obvious that it will fail. Theron wants to promote "The Lost Love", so how can he have time to follow Townsend to Canada? Townsend wants her to focus on the Toronto Film Festival and the Vancouver Film Festival? Go and promote together? Isn't this a brainless person?
No matter if it is an Oscar-winning movie, spend two months promoting a bad movie? Even if Theron loves Townsend, he still knows how to choose. This is a free score question.
Townsend made his temper not to come to the New York Film Festival with Theron, which was a topic that was given away.
He wanted to use this method to maintain his ridiculous self-esteem. In fact, if he appeared with Theron, could he increase his exposure? If he broke up, the media probably wouldn't remember this person again.
Liang Kun guessed something? He didn't ask. He took a photo with Theron and was interviewed together and talked about movies.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" directed by Spielberg is filming? It did not attend the premiere, and Liang Kun and Theron are the protagonists today. They did not talk much about the content of the movie. They wanted to wait until the movie was premiered before talking about their thoughts.
Entering the cinema? Liang Kun also sat with Son Ye-jin.
Son Ye-jin held Liang Kun's hand and asked in a low voice in Korean: "Are you nervous?"
Liang Kun found that Son Ye-jin had sweat on her palms. He knew that she was a little nervous and replied in Korean: "I'm not nervous, you don't have to be nervous. This movie will definitely succeed, and it's not an ordinary success."
No one here is more confident in the movie than Liang Kun, because he has seen the parallel world version and knows that the performances of important characters in this version of the movie are better than the original ones.
After the movie began, the audience was quickly attracted.
Theron, who is 177cm tall, is the tall figure of Zhongneng facing the male protagonist. Her cool and delicate appearance and golden hair are 100% in line with Zhongneng's description of Amy. Liang Kun's temperament is also consistent, because many of his content in the book are compared to his own description in reality.
It describes Nick's unique temperament and is very charming. Liang Kun does perform this kind of flavor, and he doesn't even need to perform. It is a special ability rewarded by the system.
The two have a very strong CP feeling, and every detail seems to be really attracted by each other.
When he left the party by the elevator, Amy said it was hard to believe Nick because his chin looked like a bad guy. Some people in the theater laughed because it was the "Joker" chin.
Soon, Amy disappeared.
Liang Kun also showed his superb acting skills in other plays, bringing the role of Nick to life, completely defeating the performance of Ben Affleck in the parallel world. Da Ben is a famous Hollywood actor with facial paralysis. Even if he reveals Ding Ding in the movie, he cannot be more outstanding than Liang Kun's performance.
Liang Kun made the details very well in the film, and he was completely different before and after marriage. Not only did he change his figure, his temperament, eyes, and tone of his speech were all different.
Nick is the same when facing his wife and outsiders. Even if he is not very good to his cheating girlfriend, he is a scumbag. Nick is always gentle to his sister, and Margo is the same when he looks at each other. The two look at each other more like lovers than brothers and sisters.
Sun Ye-jin didn't want to act like this, but Liang Kun told her to perform directly. In this way, the audience would be more suspicious of the relationship between the two, and there was also an allusion to the abnormal relationship between the brother and sister.
After watching the movie for more than half of the time, the critics knew why Spielberg did not come to the premiere. The quality of the movie was super high and there was no need to use the producer's name to promote it. Liang Kun showed the skills of a top director.
The main line of the movie is a narrative line in chronological order throughout, which is the unilateral life situation of Nick and a series of investigation and development processes after Amy's disappearance. The sub-line is developed from Amy's first-person limited perspective.
In the first half of the film, Liang Kun used Amy's diary as the second flashback narrative clue, and interspersed the diaries into the main line of the narrative in chronological order, forming a double-line narrative structure in the first half of "The Lost Lover".
This shooting is very clever, because in the second half of the film, the sub-line repeatedly overturned the image of Amy in the diary created in the first half of the film and the sweet couple life recorded in the diary.
The two clues support each other and contradict each other, allowing the audience to truly integrate into the film while enjoying the film and think deeply. The film guides the audience to explore the truth and gives the story a unique tension.
All the film critics think that Liang Kun’s shot was so good, as if every shot had a deep meaning.
Liang Kun is very successful as a director, and even more successful as an actor.
He pretended to be a successful person who wanted to attract Amy; his decadence and cowardice after marriage; his secret joy after his wife disappeared was expressed in subtle expressions.
Even if he did not express his thoughts clearly, the audience could see that he did not care about Amy's disappearance. He launched an activity to find Amy, just to pretend to be a good person, and his attention was not even very focused.
In the original movie, Daben's performance is not as outstanding as Pei Chunhua, while Liang Kun plays better than Theron at the end.
His performance has a strong sense of layering, his eyes, movements, and words expressing Nick's change in his thoughts layer by layer.
When Amy went home, Nick was resistant and even a little scared. Because he knew Amy was very dangerous and a little psychopathic, he had just killed someone. It was risky for him to live with such a person. What if Amy set a trap and killed him one day?
Liang Kun revealed this fear in his performance. He smiled at Amy, afraid that this woman would go crazy and fight him desperately. Even if he was much bigger, he was insecure. God knows what Amy would do.
After chatting with lawyer Tanner and policewoman Da, Nick's idea changed. He knew that the police had no evidence to arrest Amy, and the lawyer was unwilling to interfere with the incident. Although he frowned, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
He didn't just accept it and began to test Amy, wondering if Amy would hurt him. Because he did benefit, the bar opened a branch and someone asked him to make movies and write books. He achieved success in his career, which he had always longed for.
Although his wife was different from what he imagined, she helped him realize his original dream. He pretended to be very successful back then, but now he is really successful.
So Nick decided to stay with Amy, but the person who cried the most miserable and saddest was his sister Marg.
At the end of the movie, Son Ye-jin finally had the opportunity to show her best crying scene, sitting on the ground and saying, "My heart is broken by you."
From beginning to end, Marg was the one who loved Nick the most. She ran around for him and tried every means to help him get rid of his crime. However, Nick decided to become a bad guy and be with Amy, which was the reason why she was sad.
While interviewed by the famous host of the show, Nick decided to live with Amy. He smiled and said, "We are a criminal gang" and began to enjoy the "fruits of victory" brought by Amy.
The movie was over, and the audience applauded. Everyone thought the movie was very exciting. It was obviously almost all literary dramas, but it was not boring to watch it at all.
The creators were all very excited, and this movie was successful!
