She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

As a well-known director in China, Cao Yiping's professional ability is of course unquestionable. Su Lingxi met him at the Pingyao International Film Festival last year. The two had a great conversation along the way and had a good impression of each other.

I think this is one of the reasons why Cao Yiping invited her to star in a new play as soon as possible.

But acting has never been a tool for Su Lingxi to curry favors. She will not take on unsuitable or homogeneous roles, no matter whether the relationship is close or distant.

As an actor, this is the most basic respect for the profession.

"Liangzi sent me a message a few days ago, saying that "The Hiroo Murder Case" will be released simultaneously in China at the beginning of next year. If we release two suspense-themed works in a row next year, it will easily cause aesthetic fatigue among the audience, right?"

Yang Qian hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "Well, since you have considered the reasons for rejecting the call so thoroughly, it seems unnecessary for me to waste my breath to persuade you any more."

"No, Sister Yang, you are very important to me. I'm still waiting for you to help me choose the script for my next movie." Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Su Lingxi quickly added.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I have something else to do. I'll hang up now. Even if you're alone at home, remember to combine work and rest. Don't just focus on exercising and reading scripts. Do you hear me?"

"Okay, I know, don't worry, Sister Yang."

It was a rare opportunity to enjoy a few days of vacation in the capital without any announcements to rush to. Su Lingxi had already arranged her daily plans, including visiting the park, learning to paint, swimming... Most of the things that could be done in the [private space] were done in the space. Outdoor activities like visiting the park were rare for her, and taking protective measures to go out for a walk was also an unforgettable experience.

Of course, not only was the experience unforgettable, but the bunch of encounter photos circulated by Xiao Hongshu also made fans feel "unforgettable". They all turned into jealous people and expressed envy.

……

After a short break to recharge, Su Lingxi felt that he was full of energy again. After finalizing the details of the performance contract with the producers of "Spring Trees and Evening Clouds", he immediately flew to France with his team to prepare for the annual Cannes opening ceremony.

At the same time, in several rooms of a luxury hotel in Cannes, several jury members, including Greta Mirren, began their first viewing of the competition films.

Among them, more than half of them were holding copies of the disc sent by the producers of "Paris at Night".

"Although it's a romance film, this is Mia Selena... maybe she will give you a surprise..." Greta Mirren thought as she made a decision.

There are still many films waiting for her to watch repeatedly, and the first film should indeed be a lighter one.

Greta looked at the soft and dreamy tones on the big-screen TV nonchalantly, not feeling too excited, and muttered softly, "It's still the same old Cannes style. It seems that Selina doesn't plan to make too many innovations this time... Well, I really hope this won't be a boring movie."

As a rare pioneer in the American entertainment industry who switched from being an actor to being a director and is very successful, Greta Mirren has always admired those creators who dare to break the rules and continue to innovate.

You know, in the entertainment industry, some people can rely on their three specialties to survive for decades and make a fortune; some people, even if they have achieved success, are unwilling to stick to the rules, but continue to innovate independently and break through their own limits step by step.

Perhaps in the eyes of some directors, the latter's actions are nothing but a thankless task for idealists, but Greta has never concealed her appreciation and affirmation for such people - if everyone was confined to their own comfort zone, there would be no cinemas, no Impressionism, Expressionism, Montage Movement and a series of other innovations in form or production methods.

The film was able to be brought from the stage of the opera house to the big screen, and it has undergone countless innovative changes.

In Greta's view, the idea of ​​being content with the status quo is not wrong, but she personally does not advocate this professional attitude.

Of course, Greta has met many people and understands the helpless actions taken by some directors due to their survival difficulties.

Being a director is, after all, a profession, and being able to make money is a prerequisite. If you can't even support your family, then how can you talk about innovation?

Just like Greta herself, before she got the full support of her husband Noah Sumner, she was just one of the many actors in Hollywood who wanted to transform into a creator. She had popularity and strength, but still couldn't get the trust of investors...

Putting away her memories, Greta absentmindedly browsed the scenes that unfolded from the protagonist's perspective in the opening. As a director, she paid more attention to the use of lenses rather than the atmosphere of the picture. From the beginning to now, there have been countless panning and lifting shots in the movie, as well as Selina's iconic symmetrical composition.

"Obviously, it's a landscape propaganda film made for the French government." It's hard to tell whether it was sarcasm or love, Greta chuckled and her eyes fell on the heroine who just appeared from the corner of the camera.

Long before coming to Cannes, she had read the plot synopsis of "Paris at Night" and the deliberately leaked filming trailer. Out of her interest in director Selina, Greta has been paying close attention to the news about this film.

She has imagined more than once what kind of expression method she would use if she were given the task of shooting this subject.

Greta has not been involved in many romantic films. When she was an actress, she often acted in thrillers and comedies. These acting experiences had a certain influence on her subsequent directing style. So far, her two most popular films in Hollywood are both drama comedies.

For a romantic film like this with a dark undertone, she didn't think she could make it more popular with the judges than Selina.

After all, Selina has won the Best Director Award at Cannes and is a native Frenchman. She always knows the tastes of European judges a little better than her.

"By the way, this girl does look good. It's rare to find an Asian face that people can remember." Greta held up her chin and carefully observed the girl's every move in the picture. "No wonder Selina was willing to make such a movie to promote her, and Kevin Cowan was willing to look at her differently..."

Just as Chinese people are sometimes prone to face-blindness when it comes to European and American looks, the same is true when people in European and American countries look at Asians. Although Greta doesn't want to admit it, she really can't tell the difference between Japanese and Korean looks most of the time.

For her, only Asians with distinct and prominent facial features can leave an impression on her.

There is no doubt that Miss Nicole is the best among them - there are not many girls who can be remembered for months just by their faces.
