Pitt is a professional film critic who writes film reviews for the British newspaper The Guardian. He has always been known for his sharp review style.

Fasspenser had been dealing with him for several years and was naturally familiar with the expression on his face at that moment - it was obvious that he was completely impressed by the charming performance of this Chinese actress whom he had looked down upon at first.

This is a very rare situation.

Unlike his friend who is inherently proud, Faspenser has always believed that true art knows no national boundaries.

Yes, perhaps Asian actors have always been at a disadvantage internationally, but this situation has improved significantly in recent decades. Within a decade, China, Japan, and South Korea have all produced outstanding actors who were able to break into Hollywood and even receive Oscar nominations.

Although no one has officially won this honor yet, it is only a matter of time.

Faspenser has always believed in this.

"Tonight was a complete show of her acting skills. I swear, the director of this film must like her very much, otherwise he wouldn't have used such beautiful camera language to shoot her." Pitt murmured.

Although he hadn't figured out whether the actress' name was Nina or CoCo, her radiant appearance had already made it almost impossible for him to take his eyes off her.

"The most perfect dusk light. The director used a lot of soft light and transparent gauze to create a romantic and warm atmosphere. It is very dreamy and romantic, just right for the budding love."

At the same time and place, Lin Hua also thought of this.

The scene created by the soft light is too dreamy and pure, which highlights the various aspects of Ge Cailing that do not match the initial character introduction - how can an ordinary female student be so successful in the social scene so quickly? Where does she get so many sophisticated and experienced flirting tricks?

Even with Mrs. Chen's "careful teaching", it would be impossible to learn so quickly.

All this can only mean that Ge Cailing may not have been an ordinary girl from the beginning, but a girl who had seen romantic affairs in the mainland long ago and even wanted to use herself as bait to join the game herself.

Lin Hua could tell that this visual effect was probably deliberately created by Tang Wanhua - from the changes in Ge Cailing's facial expressions and her behavior, it was not difficult to see that her ambition might be far greater than what her aunt, Mrs. Chen, thought.

It’s a pity that she underestimated the inertia of desire and overestimated the "human nature" of those men.

As her thoughts stretched, the scenes on the screen continued to change.

At this point, the plot of the movie has already progressed more than halfway, and characters such as Boss Liu and Mr. Li have all appeared on the stage. Ge Cailing often changes into the most fashionable dresses or cheongsams, wears dazzling diamond jewelry, and travels around their respective mansions.

However, no matter how fashionable and beautiful the outfit is, it cannot prevent the gradually darkening tone of the picture - behind the decadent and dissolute life is a body that is about to be hollowed out.

Playing cards, dancing, drinking, or singing in public... Cai Ling always had a lot of fun during the day, but couldn't sleep well at night.

Even alcohol could only bring her brief, dreamlike peace.

"How about we... go somewhere where no one knows us?"

The wind on the terrace was very strong, blowing up the woman's long hair that fell to her shoulders and her long green robe that trailed on the ground.

The satin texture is the most elegant emerald, symbolizing the most vigorous vitality.

But at this moment it is loosely worn on the woman, revealing most of her snow-white neck, the picture is very impactful.

Tang Wanhua gave a close-up slow-motion shot here. It was not until the cigar between Ge Cailing's fingers was about to burn out that the camera was pulled away and moved upwards, using a panoramic shot to frame both her and Li Wensen.

"Don't go out with them anymore. It's not like we have no other way to support ourselves—" Le Wensen's anxious words were interrupted by the woman raising her hand before she could finish.

"Vincent, I don't want to talk about this today." The woman threw down the cigar, leaned over skillfully, and took out a new one from the man's suit pocket.

Take the cigarette and light it, all in one go.

"Escaping won't solve the problem, Cailing. We are still young and have the opportunity to start over." Li Wensen held her hand.

Ge Cailing tickled his palm and smiled coquettishly, with a flirtatious look in her eyes.

It is clearly the same face, and the facial features and makeup have not changed much, but one can no longer see the youthfulness that they had when they first met. The whole person's temperament has become frivolous and worldly.

"As long as you are willing to go with me, we can go anywhere." Li Wensen held her wrist and emphasized again, "I am your nominal husband. They are committing a crime by treating you like this."

"Stop talking bullshit here." Probably losing her patience with his repeated pestering, Ge Cailing struggled to free herself from his hand and pressed the cigarette butt against his bare, muscular chest.

The sizzling sound of flames burning flesh could be heard immediately. Li Wensen took a step back with a pale face, as if he was trying hard not to scream out.

Ge Cailing glanced at him with disdain, her eyes filled with disdain, impatience and fatigue after indulging in sensual pleasures.

"Master, you can't even bear this little pain. What nonsense are you talking to me?" She exhaled a puff of cigarette, leaned back, and leaned slightly against the balcony railing. "Without me, you will get out of this building tonight."

"I play with them. This is how we make a living. Do you understand?"

"You can't give me what I want, so stop talking nonsense."

The smoke ring floated a short distance in the air and soon disappeared without a trace.

The screen switched to a close-up of Levinson's face, followed by a close-up of his eyes.

His pupils were trembling, and the real sadness in his eyes almost drowned people.

Lin Hua raised his chin thoughtfully: I have to admit that although Liang Zhiqian is just a fledgling new actor, his acting is quite smart and can make people immersed in the play. The emotional atmosphere and all aspects are also on point.

I just don't know if this is his normal level or an exceptional performance... After all, the role of Li Wensen is very suitable for him. There are also many actors in the film industry who can only play a specific type of role well. Once they play roles with other images, they are not so amazing.

As the plot quickens, the shooting technique tends more and more towards stream of consciousness, switching back and forth between frame shots and empty shots, forcing the audience to concentrate on the film itself.

The film ends on a seemingly ordinary morning: through the window screen, the sunlight dances on the woman's hair, beautiful and holy, just like the roses in the flowerbed blooming vigorously.

The woman's back looks very thin, and the gradually expanding wide-angle lens adds a sense of loneliness to her, as if she is isolated from the world around her.

The monologue happened to sound at this moment.

"The rose downstairs is in full bloom, but I feel like it's on the verge of withering."

"I don't think I'll live long."
