The director deliberately used a long shot from far to near to show the scene of the two people quarreling and confronting each other in the bedroom. Su Lingxi's acting is very explosive. Even though it was a one-shot shot that had not been edited, he was able to perform freely and successfully used his acting skills to create the tense atmosphere of this scene.

"You came back early today. Are you not busy these two days?" Li Wensen asked, his tone clearly showing caution after careful consideration.

"Boss Liu went out to sea for fun yesterday. I was too lazy to go with him, and I didn't want to go." Cai Ling turned a page of the book and answered calmly.

Anyone could see that she didn't take Li Wensen seriously at all.

After all, no one can talk about other men so calmly in front of the man they love without feeling awkward or humiliated at all.

Her straightforward attitude of disapproval probably hurt Li Wensen's self-esteem. He pursed his lips tightly, and the forced smile on the corner of his lips froze completely. "Don't you feel it's dirty to say these things?"

"What? Should I, your nominal husband, just die quickly and make room for someone else?"

After hearing this, Li Anni frowned subconsciously: Even if he was jealous and wanted to maintain his dignity as a husband, he should not say such rude words to Cai Ling.

But soon, as Li Wensen's eyes gradually turned red, her brows relaxed again.

Anyway...it's quite pitiful that the person he fell in love with no longer loves him.

"I didn't expect that this unknown newcomer has such good acting skills." Li Anni thought unexpectedly, "At first I thought that no male actor was willing to play the supporting role for Lingxi, so they chose such a newcomer to play Li Wensen. I didn't expect..."

The camera turned and the picture cut to Cai Ling's face which was calm and indifferent.

The glazed lights on the ceiling shone brightly, illuminating half of her face and adding a touch of holy beauty to her.

There was only a quick flash of impatience in those beautiful eyes, nothing else.

If it were someone else, they might think Cai Ling’s attitude was too indifferent and too hard-hearted.

But Li Anni couldn't let go of her fan mentality. Even though what Cai Ling did was completely bad from a moral point of view, she couldn't really hate this character. Instead, she loved her more and more as she watched.

Rather than saying that she is a bad woman, it is better to say that she is a poor person who has taken the wrong path in the context of the times.

No matter how hard she studied, she could never improve her social status in the same way as men.

Out of sheer desperation, she went down the wrong path.

Several fragmentary shots in the movie all show how hard she studied. Even though she became a decadent socialite in the eyes of outsiders, Cai Ling still kept a book on her bedside table at home.

Li Anni couldn't help but imagine: If Cai Ling could be born in their era, perhaps her situation would be much better...

Unfortunately, there is no if, and she was born in a war-torn era where even peace was only a brief luxury.

"I don't think there's anything dirty about it. This is my job, a not-so-dignity job but it pays well." In the movie, Cai Ling put down the book, tied up her hair, changed her pose, and instantly became charming again.

"you--"

"I thought you were very aware of this fact. After all, the place you live in now belongs entirely to me. In short, you are just a man who depends on me for support. Haven't you people in Hong Kong learned the saying that eating someone's food is good for you?"

The quarrel that followed was quite intense, or perhaps it could be said that it was actually Li Wensen who was unilaterally venting his temper as a spoiled brat. Cai Ling acted as if it had nothing to do with her and let him smash everything in the bedroom except the bed and the dressing table.

Through this long shot, Li Anni fully understood the director's intention: because of her family background, Cai Ling was at a disadvantage in the relationship with Li Wensen at the beginning, but with the death of the old man of the Li family and the separation of the various branches, Li Wensen, the fifteenth young master of the Li family with only a title, was gradually marginalized by the upper class; on the contrary, Cai Ling won the favor of Mr. Li and Boss Liu successively, and not only did she own a villa halfway up the mountain, successfully breaking free from the constraints of her aunt Mrs. Chen, but she was also very popular in the social circle. Except for her bad reputation, she can almost be said to have gained both fame and fortune.

The change in their circumstances also meant a change in their relationship. Cai Ling suddenly became the one in a superior position who held the initiative. Li Wensen suffered a lot of criticism outside because of his wife, and he had no dignity as a husband at home. Over time, his temperament became more and more gloomy and sensitive.

It is obvious that if this trend continues, the relationship between the two is bound to break down.

But Cai Ling in the movie is so calm and composed, will she really end up in a dead end like in the novel?

Li Anni let out a long sigh and continued reading eagerly with doubts in her heart.

To be honest, she didn't want to see Cai Ling end up with such a tragic ending. After all, she had such a familiar and beautiful face... But then again, Su Su's performance this time seemed to be more dynamic than before. She hoped that she could win a few more trophies with this film. If that doesn't work, a few more nominations would be fine...

Li Anni couldn't help but be distracted and think about random things for a while, but she was soon attracted by the plot again.

It wasn't just Li Anni. Most of the people who watched the film with her in the same theater began to sigh in their hearts. Whether it was the director's composition aesthetics, shooting techniques, or the acting between several actors, they all gave them a sense of surprise beyond their expectations. To be honest, most of the audience sitting here came for the gimmick of Su Lingxi, the Berlin Film Queen.

Half of them were fans and half were passers-by. Maybe they had different ideas before coming, but at this moment everyone had to admit that this was indeed a very good movie.

It deserves the praise from so many celebrities at home and abroad.

Thanks to the Berlin Film Festival, a large number of passers-by entered the theaters on the first day of the premiere. The screening halls in several first-tier cities in China were almost full. The box office on that day exceeded 2000 million, and the film received a lot of spontaneous positive reviews from passers-by.

March 3th was a real cold period. There were only three movies released in theaters during the same period. The box office sales of the other two non-art films were less than one-tenth of "The Rose Thorn", and the momentum was far less than that.

Being able to earn over 10 million on the first day during a cold period is considered excellent even for a commercial film, let alone a non-commercial art film that is competing for awards.
