The Director's Road of Airflow

"Crossing the South of the Yangtze River" was officially released. After the first broadcast, some feelings after watching the movie appeared on the Internet one after another. It shows the repressed wildness of young people who have been going back and forth between the pavilions of the city for a long time, the bewilderment and shock when they first saw nature, and the open state of mind when they merged into the desert, mountains and seas, all of which are moving.

"Crossing the South of the Yangtze River" is destined not to be a commercial blockbuster, but its restrained romantic realism and lens impact have won praise from many people. In the end, the total box office reached 7 million, which is considered a very good result.

In February 2023, Lu Ming was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor for his role as Xia Xinyu in "Crossing Jiangnan".

In April 2023, the final list of winners of the Golden Rooster Awards was announced, and Lu Ming missed the Best Actor.In May of the same year, Lu Ming's studio updated the news: Lu Ming had received a master's degree in film from New York University in March, and he would go to the United States to study in September for a period of three years.

On May 5, when the news was released, it caused an uproar. Everyone has accepted that Lu Ming is a young actor whose transformation has begun to show results, and they are looking forward to more roles in the future. Now, he, a popular idol, suddenly said that he would quit the entertainment industry. After three years in the circle, going to the United States to study is really unexpected.

Topics such as #卢明#【热】, #卢明NYU#【热】 appeared one after another in the hot searches on Weibo.

As a well-known cultivating idol in the country, Lu Ming's every move has attracted widespread attention.

In Lu Ming's Weibo real-time square, you can see the sincere sighs of many fans and passers-by.

——I was caught off guard, I just had lunch, and when I came back, I learned that my son was going on a long journey. My mother was worried about my son traveling thousands of miles. Let’s think about it again. A pack of wolves are waiting for you. The post-00s are very competitive. It's intense, you don't know what's going on after you've been out for three years, fans are the most affectionate and ruthless, acting is more about practice than theory.

——Glass, Brother Ming and I will be alumni from now on, not bad.The most prominent aspect of our school's film major is the direction of directing. Is my brother planning to change direction?I remember he won a short film award the year before last.If he really became a director, it would be a bit of a cool article in the entertainment industry.

——Not bad, not bad, I've already thought about the novel copywriting, "Once the top trafficker announced his retirement, and returned after three years, he turned around and became a new director."Internal entertainment is also a bit interesting now, it’s different after [-], quarrels have the right to end, and traffic can be withdrawn as soon as it is said, it’s very real.

——As wormwood, I support every decision of Lu Ming, and I hope that I can return from my studies as soon as possible and bring more excellent works.Those who say that they are directors are not fans, right? We all know that acting and directing are not the same thing at all, and it’s not just a change. Take a good look at the grass, don't dance blindly with passers-by, and be mocked by someone taking a screenshot and moving it to the forum after a while.

Amidst all kinds of positive and negative voices, on August 8th, Lu Ming set off as scheduled, on a direct flight from Beijing to New York.

After Lu Ming made his debut, he finished high school and undergraduate studies in China, but he was far away from campus life.In the three years of high school, he hardly came to school. In the final sprint stage of the college entrance examination, he mainly asked a tutor for one-on-one tutoring. In college, he often needed to take time off to attend events or shoot film and television projects.

After entering New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Lu Ming was no different from ordinary classmates. Not many people knew him in New York. Only a few Chinese students in the school knew that he was once a big star.He naturally blended in with his classmates, no longer wearing seasonal luxury brand ready-to-wear from various brands, but wearing various fast-selling brand clothing, adapting to being unable to eat regularly due to rushing homework, and buying a sandwich for dinner day.

In Lu Ming's first year at New York University, there was nothing to talk about. He seldom listened quietly for a while and reflected on his current life.He's constantly being pushed around by various tasks, overwhelmed by a flood of emotions, and struggling to cope with the problems life keeps throwing at him.

The homework for the school year was an independently filmed microfilm. Lu Ming wrote the script himself and found actors. He originally wanted to get sponsors, but there were no advertisers who were interested in a college student's first-year master's homework. Lu Ming was disappointed And return.Fortunately, some professional and non-professional young actors who are looking for opportunities in New York are still willing to participate in this kind of low-cost projects, because they usually have no scenes to shoot, and having a job is better than not having a job.

In the process of communicating with them, Lu Ming realized how difficult it is for an actor to find a chance to stand out without any connections or background.At the age of 17, he joined the group of big-directed films as the leading role for the third time. He was also grateful for the opportunity at the time, but he didn't really understand how lucky he was, and how rare the opportunity he had at his fingertips was for others.

If before studying abroad, Lu Ming's perception of "actor" was spotlights, applause, red carpet, and abuse, then after going abroad, he saw countless young people floating in New York, and he realized that "actor" can also mean loneliness, Poverty, desperate dreams and times when no one cares.

Lu Ming is gradually forgetting the mainland entertainment circle, and the mainland entertainment circle is also forgetting him little by little.

At the very beginning, there were still many fans and passers-by thinking about him. On September 2023, 9, the hot topic on Weibo and Douyin had #卢明17年生日快乐#, and fans made various outputs and cut videos Those who edit pictures and write articles are very lively.

Lu Ming didn't post a Weibo that day, only a system automatically posted "Today is my birthday, come and bless me!" The highest number of comments on this Weibo was 55. At that time, Ai Cao was still full of enthusiasm Man, they are already ready, just wait for three years, and Lu Ming will come back after three years.Besides, now is the Internet age, and there is no need for flying pigeons to pass on letters. Even if they are not in China, they can still interact with Lu Ming through social media and various short videos. Lu Ming should fly back to China from time to time to participate in some activities, but It's just less exposure, that's what they thought at first.

But on his birthday, Lu Ming didn't post a selfie or interact with anyone. It wasn't that Lu Ming deliberately snubbed his fans, but that he forgot that it was his birthday. This was his third day of school, and he was busy. Apply for air conditioner repair in the dormitory, participate in the welcome party, attend a meeting with Chinese seniors and sisters, listen to the advice and guidance of the seniors, return to the dormitory, lie on the bed and want to take a lunch break, it is already past twelve o'clock at noon. It means that September 9 in China is over, and he really forgot his birthday.

Lu Ming didn't understand what was behind his psychology. In short, he didn't want to record various vlogs to record his life. When a camera was placed in his life, he inevitably realized that his every move was being recorded. Going online will be evaluated, and fragments of his life will be magnified and observed by others. Under such psychological hints, it is difficult for him to guarantee the authenticity of his life.He is changing from being an observed person to being an observer. The close interaction distance with the audience makes it difficult for him to grasp the state of creation.

So Lu Ming chose to remain silent. He seldom posted news on social media, and he almost no longer appeared in the public eye. At first he worried that this would be too cruel to fans, but he soon realized that his worries were probably unnecessary.

The endless talent shows, variety shows, TV dramas, and movies can always make those strange girls find a corner where they can put their girls' hearts. They know that it is good for Lu Ming to study abroad, and they won't worry too much. It doesn't matter if they find a new wall, climb the wall Either way, they will always find new people to continue their star chasing life.

The media is always chasing hot spots. Most of the time they have forgotten about Lu Ming. Only when they write a summary article, they will think of this former top player who has rarely been heard of.For example, at the end of the year, when they take stock of the road of traffic replacement, they will think of Lu Ming. The more positive evaluation is: this young man who grew up in the public eye has found his own rhythm of life. The neutral evaluation is just a truthful record of Lu Ming’s new media. The serious decline in the data, and some slightly negative comments focus on Lu Ming as a traffic choice to study abroad. Has he really read anything?Is Lu Ming's choice a kind of escape?Walking away because you feel that you are not capable of living up to public expectations?

Time always flies by quickly, and two and a half years is not a long time. At the end of the first semester of the third year of master's degree, Lu Ming completed his master's graduation assignment - a 58-minute movie "Don't Tell Mom".

"Don't Tell Mom" ​​tells the story of a Chinese girl named Zhu Di who was bullied on campus because she behaved too much like a "nerd" in junior high school.The classmates laughed at her quietness, her forbearance, and even the Chinese meals her mother prepared for her. Judy has been enduring. She doesn't want to disturb the lawyer single mother who is very troubled every day with her troubles. She has been Patience, until one day a defiant classmate said "I guess she's never been in a relationship" and reached out to touch her face.

At that moment, Judy used all her strength to punch the bastard hard in the face, pushed the bastard to the ground, and kicked the bastard twice, all the students around were frightened by her sudden madness It was broken, and the teacher was called, and the teacher called her mother to the school. The first 10 minutes of the movie explained such a story background.

The follow-up of the movie revolves around the frank communication between the mother and daughter and their joint attempts to solve the difficulties in life.

Lu Ming's graduation work won the New York Student Film Festival Gold Award and was screened in a small area in New York.

It is impossible for such an independent work of a student to cause much repercussions, let alone arouse much discussion in China, if the director is not Lu Ming.

But a domestic film critic who attended the New York University Student Film Festival wrote a film review on Douban. He has always been known for his strict requirements and gave Lu Ming's graduation film four stars.

Although I haven't seen the content of the movie, domestic netizens are still excited.

After a long absence, a post with Lu Ming's name appeared on Douban, "Friends, Lu Ming is back!".

[Magic Little Fairy]: My God, it's been a long time since I heard the name "Lu Ming". In the past three years, the traffic has exploded and changed twice.

[Pineapple Jackfruit]: ohmygod, I know, I know, it seems that a film critic gave him four stars on Douban, and I saw You Neighbor forwarded his film review, it is really well written, see what he means , Lu Ming's graduation work should be very good, but it is unlikely that it will be released in China. I don't know if it can be seen online.

[Canceled]: I admire him quite a bit. He returned to the top after he died, got nominated for the Golden Rooster, and saw that he was about to return to the top position. He was still the kind of resource guy + super traffic who successfully transformed into an actor. He actually said Retired, retired, barely showed up after school, almost three years, fans are almost gone, this brother really doesn't care about popularity, he's pretty cool.

Basically, after Lu Ming quit the entertainment circle, the Douban Wuxin Mage group, where his black fans gather, has transformed from focusing on Lu Ming alone to a public group. In more than two years, countless scoldings broke out in the group. War, the protagonists of the scolding war are all celebrities in the entertainment industry that have nothing to do with Lu Ming. Fans come to the group when they fight, and list how the opponent scolded and trampled others viciously, and how their own fans fought back righteously and heroically. , Ask passers-by to comment.

The Wuxin mage group quickly became the new traffic of the Douban gossip group, firmly occupying the top three positions of the Douban group in 2026. After the news of Lu Ming came out, the protracted scolding battle in the group was interrupted because there was a group A member of the group posted a post called "After the group rules are updated, will Lu Ming be kicked out of the group for boasting? I just asked, I don't want to give up the hard-won Douban top group house for Lu Ming."
