The most eye-catching thing about the opening ceremony was the red carpet ceremony. After the red carpet, it entered the established traditional process. First, the main leaders of the organizer made a brief speech, gave a brief introduction to the movie, and then went straight to the topic and began to screen the finalist movie "White Soul" in the main competition unit.

"White Soul" is a movie that explores human nature. The story is set in the British countryside three hundred years ago. The male protagonist played by alan has been in love with his cousin who was 10 years older than him since childhood. Both of them were born in a British aristocratic family. Due to his outstanding appearance and gentle and considerate behavior, the female protagonist also fell in love with him secretly. Due to his relatives, neither dared to break the taboo. Until the heroine was about to marry according to the family arrangement, the male protagonist finally broke through the long-depressed feelings in her heart and resolutely took her to elope, regardless of the world, did not want the consequences, and just stay together.

They fell from a nobleman who lived a wealthy life to a poor man who was not covered with clothes and food without filling his stomach, and lived a wandering life. The poor couple was sad, and the two began to quarrel constantly. The sweet love was eventually defeated by the cruel reality. In order to pursue a better life, the heroine threw herself into the arms of the rich and finally abandoned the hero. The movie ended, the seriously ill male protagonist lying alone on the dilapidated wooden bed, dying lonely, and there was no one to collect the body for him.

After watching this movie, the screening hall was quiet. Liu Lan was in a long time and she couldn't calm down. There was even a hint of moistness in the corners of her eyes. Alan's acting skills were so good. In the last scene, he looked at the top of her eyes blankly. A hole was broken above. Through the hole, it was blue sky, echoing his blue eyes. A tear fell from the corners of his eyes. His pupils were still as crystal clear as when he was childhood. There was nostalgia, disappointment, numbness, but there was no regret in his eyes.

What did he see? Is it a pampered childhood? Is it a heart-pounding moment when he first met his cousin? Or is he mourning this relationship that has a beginning but no end?

Liu Lan thought that the so-called white soul refers to the pure and flawless soul of the male protagonist. He faced the world with a sincere heart and his beloved cousin, but in the end, he lost his life. Such a person should not exist in the world. He was sick because he had no idea of ​​living.

Tragic things always make people think deeply and feel depressed. Many people left during the movie screening. But the judges watched them very seriously, chatting in a low voice, and watching the crew of "White Soul" behind them.

That night, alan broke his promise and he couldn't invite Liu Lan and the two girls to have a midnight snack. After the opening ceremony, Harvey called him and director Matt to drink alone in the hotel bar where he stayed.

Harvey asked alan, "Do you really want to participate in "Gaixia Song"?"

"Yes, I think I've shown all my sincerity before you."

Harvey smiled, "Even to Mike, there is nearly $100 million in liquidated damages?"

Alan is not surprised that Harvey is well-informed. Now in the upper Hollywood circles, everyone probably knows that Michael asks him for a liquidated damages of $95 million.

Harvey's eyes were cold cobalt blue. At this moment, there was a hint of playfulness and joke in the eyes of Alan. He was not Yu Zhan. Alan was flirting with Liu Lan on the red carpet in the name of audition, which was known to everyone.

"Okay, I admit that I wanted to take this movie first because of Liu Lan."

Hearing this, Director Matt on the side looked at him in surprise.

"Although I can't see your script for the time being, I searched for an introduction to this Chinese history online. I became interested in the story of the male and female protagonists Xiang Yu and Yu Ji. I think this movie deserves my time and energy. Continuing to film "Future Heroes 5" is really a waste of my life."

Harvey interrupted him and emphasized, "Xiang Yu is Chinese, and you are American."

"I know, so I have to try it more. For me, making movies is no longer a job to solve my livelihood. I want to challenge my limits of ability, just as I took on "White Soul"," said this, alan glanced at Matt and respected the director. "I can play the role of the chaotic in "White Soul"./The romantic young master can play the role of the king of China in "Gaixia Song"."

"No matter what I think of Liu Lan, I'm just thinking about it. You think she is a very attractive girl, I can't refuse her charm, but I can tell the difference between imagination and reality. Compared to her, I want to challenge playing a Chinese person. Liu Lan said that Xiang Yu has a beautiful black hair and beard. I can dye her blond hair black and start with the beard. If her beard is not long enough, she can also wear a fake beard. The color of her eyes may also be changed to black...I..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Harvey again, "There is no problem with blue eyes, Xiang Yu in my script is blue eyes."

alan:"?????"

Did the Chinese have blue eyes two thousand years ago? He could not judge, nor did he have the right to question Harvey's script.

Harvey took a sip of the wine in his glass, "Okay, I no longer question your sincerity. After all, your sincerity is worth 95 million US dollars. Perhaps "Gaixia Song" won't get so many box offices even if it is released. Americans are not very interested in Chinese movies. From the actual box office of "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" and "The Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty", can be seen that you can withstand such a big psychological gap? Oh, there is also an economic gap. I can't provide you with a high salary like Michael. Liu Lan's salary is only 500 million US dollars, and you are probably twice as much as her."

Harvey grasped Alan's weakness and dared to offer him such a low price. After he said that, he looked at Alan in the eyes. Whenever Alan hesitated at all, he would take back his decision.

"Song of Gaixia" is a film he made for his mother's sentimentality. He does not want anyone or things mixed with commercial interests to tarnish it!

As a result, alan said firmly, "It's okay to make as much money. Anyway, I've paid $95 million. If I care about the pay, I might as well make hundreds of millions of dollars in "Future Heroes 5."

His reply was very satisfied with Harvey, "To avoid the long nights and dreams, we will sign the contract tomorrow."

Alan's heart was also overwhelmed. It seemed that he was the most correct decision to pull Liu Lan on the red carpet together today.

Harvey looked at Director Matt again, "I invite you to come today, for "Gaixia Song". I want to ask you to be the director of this movie."

After the opening ceremony, "White Soul" won unanimous praise from all judges. Matt's talent and experience in in-depth drama films are now unparalleled. Even if such a movie cannot make a lot of money, he has always insisted on going his own way. He and his movies have a high reputation in the minds of movie fans around the world. Only by giving "Gaixia Song" to him for filming can Harvey feel at ease.
