The day when the idol is disqualified, when the superstar rises

Congested intersections, re-entering forks, cautious piano sounds, overcrowded but quiet bars, a man playing solo in front of the piano on the stage, and couples kissing together in the crowd off the stage.

The end of the song.

Come to yourself.

The old love is kissing on the stage, and the new love is sitting next to him.

Standing up and leaving the table, he looked back suddenly, looked at each other and smiled, with tears in his eyes.

The movie was over, but there was a bit of silence in the pitch-black auditorium.

The internal viewing version of the movie has not yet added the final credits of the credits, and there is no music at the end of the credits, so the playback is stopped on the screen.

The screening hall that suddenly fell silent was like the bar that the movie's conjectures went into at the end. It was full of people, but it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

The only thing Wang Chuan, who was sitting in the front row, could hear were tiny sobs.

Catherine from around.

But the silence didn't last long, and warm applause soon broke out.

The lights in the auditorium come on.

Wang Chuan stood up and applauded with everyone.

"Incredible movie!"

"So captivating that it almost made me faint!"

"So romantic!"

"Phew! I can't believe I'm crying..."

Wang Chuan responded to their praise with a smile, and glanced at Catherine.

Catherine, who immediately noticed Wang Chuan's gaze, also turned her head to look over.

She had a decent smile on her face, her eyes were only slightly red, and her eyes were still radiant, as if the sobbing she heard just now was just Wang Chuan's illusion.

Wang Chuan lowered his head and whispered close to her ear.

"That's your best performance, isn't it?"

Catherine glanced at Wang Chuan in reproach. She was complaining that Wang Chuan was too stingy, and she always cared about the fact that she said that "The Betrayer" was the best performance of her career when she was filming "La La Land".

Then she continued to smile and nod.

At least, "La La Land" is her favorite movie now.

Although it doesn't have a profound theme, it doesn't have a shining human brilliance, it's just an ordinary old-fashioned love and forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.

Moreover, after watching so many films after she finished filming, Catherine felt for the first time that Mia in the film was herself. Before, she felt that she was in the film.

This seems to be a more natural feeling of acting, as if I have made great progress compared to before, so the Oscar queen——

Catherine shook her head with a wry smile, interrupting the thoughts that spread subconsciously in her mind.

Although before the screening, she knew that "La La Land" was her last straw, but after watching the film, she really didn't want to think about any issues related to winning awards.

From the second half of the film, when Mia came back from Paris and walked into the bar with her husband for the first time, the trembling feeling that rose all over her body and lasted until the end of the film made her still want to reminisce.

When she got the script, she thought in her mind how good the final filming effect would be, but when she actually watched it, it still gave her a sense of surprise beyond her imagination.

Director Ke Xizhe's skill is too mellow, he seems to polish every trace of air in the film to the end, so that she is afraid that breathing will break such a beautiful artistic conception.

Catherine is willing to use all praises to praise this movie, even if it is too high.

……

Wang Chuan could see that Catherine's liking for "La La Land" was beyond his imagination.

After all, it was the script that Catherine bit the bullet and accepted when she knew she was acting with her at the beginning. She herself liked the script very much, and Ke Xizhe shot it so beautifully.

...Perhaps there is also a bonus of subconsciously beautifying the last straw?

Anyway, as expected, when only "La La Land" was left to choose, both Catherine and Disney agreed that this movie made Catherine almost return to what the original "Betrayal" would allow her to be in next year. The pole position achieved in the Oscar competition.

The last time a musical was all the rage was ten years ago!

Who can bear the absence of the most charming feelings of this filmmaker for so long?

Would anyone be willing to say no to a love letter to all musical lovers?

It was also at this time that many people remembered that when the Chinese Lin Tong was selling the script of "La La Land" in Hollywood, all major film companies agreed that this was a standard award-winning film. The potential is huge.

At that time, it was a pity that because of the insistence of the Huaxia people, they had to accept Wang Chuan as the male lead, which wasted the script, but now that the movie has been filmed and watched later, isn't it a good performance?

The most impactful super popular singer in the music world who has set a series of records on the list!

Lead Chinese culture into the iconic symbol of America!

Huge and vast market space with a population of 14 billion!

Disney's open and free creative environment!

……sky!

The more I analyze, the more I feel that "La La Land" has unlimited potential!

——Whether you really agree or not, this is analyzing the possibility of winning the prize, and you must list them all.

As for the arrogance of "if the male protagonist is not from China" who is too lazy to avoid Wang Chuan, I just worry about it.

Anyway, things have come to this, no matter how painful it is to discriminate against cancer patients, we must bite the bullet and do everything possible to make Wang Chuan the highlight of this movie.

This is also the benefit of joining such a big project. Wang Chuan no longer needs to work hard on marketing alone, and Disney will not let the male protagonist of a project of this level... "those who lost it".

After the film ended, everyone's free exchange was not over yet, and Wang Chuan was pulled to ask why he didn't want to think about the Grammy Trophy.

The hero who won the Grammy Award can add luster to the quality of the movie.

Usually the time of the Grammy Awards ceremony is before the Oscars, and next year, the time of the two awards ceremonies is likely to be nearly two months apart, that is, when the Grammy Awards ends, the Oscars have just announced the list of nominees, and there is no Select the results.

That's... Huaxia's first mainstream Grammy Award trophy!

"Actually, I don't really want my films to be so utilitarian."

Koschizhe sighed.

"is it?"

Wang Chuan gave him a blank look.

If he was really not utilitarian, he wouldn't have waited until Catherine was determined to be the heroine before actually accepting the direction.

The reason why Wang Chuan really convinced him was that Catherine was the heroine, and with his directing, it was impossible for Disney not to pay attention to this movie—as long as he didn't pat his hips.

"Maybe there was before the filming, but after the filming, when I was editing the film, I always had the feeling that this film was writing my epitaph."

Ke Xizhe didn't care about Wang Chuan's tone, and he himself was a little more melancholy.

"..."

Wang Chuan really didn't know what to say.

Who made him stuff so many private things in the tribute elements of the movie!

There is a stone out of historical musicals, and he has the feeling that Ke Xizhe has all the best.

……

"There's a sudden sense of relief now."

Catherine walked to Wang Chuan who was blowing alone on the balcony and said with emotion.

Although it was just a simple internal viewing, Disney still prepared a small party.

After all, most of the people invited here have the right to vote in the selection process, so basic hospitality is necessary.

"Very good about this movie."

Wang Chuan looked at the cars passing through the intersection downstairs in the distance and said casually.

"Well," Catherine's voice also sounded much more relaxed, with a smile on her face, "Many people still think that "La La Land" is closer to me than "The Betrayal"...so, I really appreciate you .”

Wang Chuan finally turned around to respond to the gaze Catherine had been looking at him.

It might be because the sunset glow shone into her eyes... It was a kind of brilliance that Wang Chuan had never seen before.

"Thank you for insisting on letting me take this drama."

Catherine's voice also seemed to suddenly become softer, like a gentle wind blowing just now.

"I want to thank you too."

Wang Chuan smiled at her.

Catherine also laughed lightly with Wang Chuan.

"You know? I used to think that a proper end after a passionate love is just as romantic as a long-lasting life."

Catherine, who had been looking into Wang Chuan's eyes, became emotional again.

She was much more emotional than Wang Chuan imagined.

So Wang Chuan made his tone tease.

"Like La La Land?"

Catherine shook her head.

""La La Land"...it's like the third kind of relationship that ends without a beginning..."

Wang Chuan staggered her gaze, and was about to say that she was digressing.

"city of stars, are you shining just for me."

Catherine, who finally looked away from looking at Wang Chuan, lowered her head and sang a line of lyrics softly to herself.

Then she looked up and laughed out loud.

"I'm going to win an Oscar, right!"

"Of course!"

……

"surprise!"

Wang Chuan was startled when he entered the door.

"How did you come?"

Wang Chuan looked at Huang Ci'en in surprise.

Ruan Qiushui, who was making tea in front of the sofa, also glanced at Wang Chuan.

"Didn't I tell you? I have always had Ci'en's WeChat."

"Uh... well."

Wang Chuan, who was completely caught off guard, didn't know what to say.

Huang Ci'en acted like a guest at an ordinary friend's house, behaved well.

She dyed her hair back to black again, and she was also wearing a very elegant little black dress. Except for the phrase "surprise", An Sheng reached a level that Wang Chuan had never seen before.

Originally, Wang Chuan thought she would wait until the end of August or September, because the Golden Melody Awards ceremony in August was coming soon, and Wang Chuan would return to China to participate at that time. Huang Ci'en is so popular in China now, she should also be accepted by the organizers. invite.

I didn't expect her to come now.

"The family thinks it's better for me to come now."

Huang Ci'en took the initiative to speak briefly.

It should mean that it is stuck at the time when Wang Chuan will definitely go back to participate in the Golden Melody Awards. At that time, Wang Chuan will still handle some affairs in China, so that the possible meeting time will be the shortest?

"Oh."

Still not knowing what to say, Wang Chuan nodded.

"How about watching the movie?"

Ruan Qiushui asked after making tea.

She gave Huang Ci'en a glass first, Huang Ci'en said thank you politely, and then... Ruan Qiushui gave her the second glass.

no third cup...

...It's almost like a wicked mother-in-law making things difficult for the young couple.

But make things difficult...

"It's pretty good. Disney and senior film critics believe that the film has great potential. They think that next year's Oscar queen will still belong to Catherine."

Wang Chuan hurriedly said a few more words.

"What about you?"

Ruan Qiushui asked again.

"I, I must be born—"

Wang Chuan swallowed the best of his life.

The best thing about my career right now is definitely "Long Vacation"...

"Of course my performance was exceptional. I didn't lose out against the Oscar-winning actress, and I even felt suppressed! I didn't embarrass Huaxia at all!"

Wang Chuan said confidently.

"...That's over." Ruan Qiushui rubbed his forehead, "Is Catherine so abnormal?"

"I--"

Wang Chuan was about to argue when he was interrupted by Ruan Qiushui who got up.

"Let's talk first, I'll cook."

"Uh...how about—"

In Ruan Qiushui's deep eyes, Wang Chuan chose to shut up.

Let's not dampen Ruan Qiushui's enthusiasm for cooking...

It wasn't until Ruan Qiushui entered the kitchen that Wang Chuan and Huang Ci'en laughed with wide-eyed eyes.

"Miss Qiushui is so kind."

As soon as Wang Chuan moved over, before he grabbed her hand, Huang Ci'en praised with emotion.

"You should follow to the kitchen at this time."

Huang Ci'en spoke again.

"..."

When Wang Chuan walked into the kitchen, Ruan Qiushui was chopping potatoes.

So Wang Chuan handed over the kitchen knife in her hand first.

"It was a bit sudden, but I really didn't know she came here today, so she never told me."

Wang Chuan explained to himself.

"I know. She told me that I invited her here." Ruan Qiushui said lightly, "Give me back the kitchen knife, I'm cooking."

"...I'll come," Wang Chuan said unwillingly, "Didn't we say that one three five seven you, two four six me? Today is Saturday."

Although Wang Chuan's messy itinerary has never been implemented, this is also the right that Wang Chuan won for not being a guinea pig at the beginning.

I have to say, it is really necessary.

In the past, when Ruan Qiushui didn't devote herself to studying cooking skills, the food she cooked was actually edible, but after she started to make it difficult for herself, she especially liked to add some weird condiments to it, and then use ingenious cooking methods... just Speaking of potatoes, potato strips wrapped in tomato sauce mixed with flour mixed with rose powder and fried in a frying pan...

"Okay." Ruan Qiushui reluctantly gave up his seat, "Cien is pretty good."

"……Um."

Wang Chuan concentrated on cutting potatoes.

"I've never sat so close to chat with her before, and then I realized that Ci'en is so beautiful that I feel ashamed. No wonder you like it."

Ruan Qiushui continued to be calm and calm.

"……No."

Wang Chuan could only reply with such an unclear meaning.

It's still fun to cut potatoes.

It can be cut into slices from a block, and the slices can also be cut into shreds.

Yeah!

Knife skills are good!

It used to be cut a tenth of the finer than it is today.

So jealous Ruan Qiushui made an opinion.

"What are you doing, cutting off your hand?"

It turned out not to be jealous, but to care.

"Oh."

Wang Chuan was very moved and changed to a potato slice.

"It's not easy for Ci'en to come here. Do you want to make room for you at night?" Ruan Qiushui continued to ask very considerately, "Anyway, we meet every day and don't care about the day and night, do we?"

"..."

Wang Chuan returned the kitchen knife to Ruan Qiushui.

How about having a good time...
