Recapture the Entertainment Industry

The name Carmen Clovis, as long as it is an artist who has entered the film industry, basically everyone has heard of it.

This director, who has maintained the peak of his career for five years, is very prolific. He releases one or two blockbuster films every year without interruption. Since he entered the director circle, he has swept all major award ceremonies and won numerous honors. However, in six years Before that, he was just an ordinary commercial film director with a less special status.

What really made him popular was the series "Blade Warrior I", which was released five years ago and received an excellent response.Relying on the fascinating storyline and extremely tense fighting scenes, this work set a new box office record in the history of European and American films, and also succeeded in making this director who has worked hard in the film industry for many years a hit.Since then, he has grasped the audience's taste and started to fix his own style. All of his works have clear main lines, moving emotions, exquisite pictures and unconventional plots. It is always easy for handsome men and beautiful women to show their greatest charm under his lens, so even the audience has great confidence in him, and then there is a saying that spreads - "Carmen's product must be a classic".

No matter who said this sentence and under what circumstances it appeared, people can always see how much influence this director who is already on the altar has in the film industry.

Duan Xiubo started to cooperate with Carmen Clovis from "Blade Warrior II". Duan Xiubo's excellent acting skills and Carmen's superb director ability made this series escape the second unfinished curse in the industry. It has achieved a good result that is not inferior to the first one or even surpassed.Duan Xiubo took off the title of Best Actor at the Global Film Festival by acting in this film, and became the first actor in China and even Asia to win the award of this film festival held every five years. Carmen also really relied on The title of best director at the Global Film Festival has become an "artist" who has left a strong mark in the history of film.

Knowing that he was going to meet Carmen, Luo Ding said that he was not nervous, but he was still a little worried.It is not easy for a Chinese star to develop in Hollywood. He does not have such good resources as Duan Xiubo, and he has seen relatively few people in the world.Fortunately, his camouflage skills have already reached the peak level, except for a slightly faster heartbeat, on the surface it even looks the same as usual.

The voice of Duan Xiubo talking next to him eased his tension slightly, and the two walked along the somewhat dark corridor until the vermilion door at the end came into view.

Duan Xiubo didn't give Luo Ding more time to prepare, and stretched out his hand to push it away.

This is a very spacious practice room, big enough to accommodate many people in class at the same time. The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows are all opened, and the light is abundant and bright.

A man of short stature was boxing in the ring wearing a protective gear. His flowing movements had the majesty of Tai Chi and the sharpness of Jeet Kune. His gestures were very pleasing to the eye.What was played in the practice room was pure music with a very intense rhythm. The rapid and high-pitched melody of the violin and the heavy and sharp keys of the piano were perfectly integrated with the martial arts movements.

Luo Ding stood still and searched carefully for a while, only to see Carmen Clovis who was sitting under the ring and looking up very intently.

This is a man with the temperament of a wandering singer, with three-dimensional features, but because of his fat, he is not so conspicuous.Europeans and Americans are relatively old. His wrinkled face and rough and spotted skin combined with his fat body make him look at least 50 years old, but the golden medium-length curly hair unexpectedly does not make him look so unorthodox. , It's just that the stubble on his face is really dazzling, and ordinary people who are not used to growing beards will always have the illusion that he hasn't showered or washed his face for many days.

Luo Ding stared at the big but shapeless stubble of the opponent, suppressing the obsessive-compulsive disorder in his heart to press the opponent's head to shave his face clean, and followed Duan Xiubo slowly approaching the ring.

Carmen's attention was finally on the two guests who were not in the room, and when he met Duan Xiubo's eyes, he immediately stood up in surprise: "Hey! Duan, I haven't seen you for a while, you look handsome again! "

Duan Xiubo spoke with a little English accent, unhurriedly: "So? Do you have any plans to give up hot dogs?"

Carmen touched his double chin, pinched his waist and twisted his butt happily: "I'm perfect!" He found Luo Ding, looked behind Duan Xiubo with his head, and saw Luo Ding's outstanding facial features His eyes lit up suddenly: "This is...?"

"My friend Luo Ding is a very good actor." Duan Xiubo hooked the corner of his mouth, and just wanted to say that Luo Ding and Carmen should get to know each other, when his head buzzed and he suddenly realized a big problem that he hadn't noticed just now.

Luo Ding, can he speak English?

The domestic show business circle is actually quite helpless. Although English is popularized all the time, there are really very few artists who can master two foreign languages ​​at the same time.Some people from wealthy families in the younger generation may have accumulated enough solid foreign language skills before debuting, but Luo Ding, if he remembers correctly... seems to be an orphan.

Duan Xiubo gritted his teeth secretly, his head was in a mess just now, he didn't expect so much, he was really negligent.Things like communication barriers are really embarrassing. Luo Ding has such a strong self-esteem, what if he feels embarrassed?

He hurriedly tried to explain to Carmen that Luo Ding's English was not very good. Unexpectedly, Luo Ding spoke before he spoke, and his fluent and authentic accent immediately attracted Carmen's attention.

Duan Xiubo opened his lips slightly, turned his head and looked at Luo Ding in a daze, then coughed, suppressed the doubts in his heart and closed his mouth.

Luo Ding has one advantage, that is, no matter how nervous he is before the scene, once he faces difficulties head-on, he will quickly regain his composure and composure.He smiled, and the aura around him was not inferior to that of Carmen who was facing him. He just showed some respect for the other party without being overly humble: "Mr. Clovis, my name is Luo Ding." The calm and composed The demeanor immediately made Carmen feel a little impressed by him.

"Hey, you really look like a girl, has anyone ever told you that?" Carmen spoke very directly and never beat around the bush, making Luo Ding's head full of black lines as soon as she spoke, "Also, are you an adult? Have you? ?”

Although Luo Ding's facial features are not as deep as those of Europeans and Americans, they never have any flat feeling. Although his skin is not as fair as that of Caucasians, he stands out from the crowd among ordinary men.People of the yellow race are born with much more delicate skin, which prevents them from having red blood and large pores. Therefore, in the aesthetics of Westerners, they are indeed much younger than their actual age.

"I'm already 23 years old." He replied calmly, "As for the girl, you are the first to say that. I think I can take this as a compliment, thank you."

Seeing that he was able to make jokes, Carmen laughed happily. He leaned over and patted Luo Ding on the shoulder, giving him some congenial appreciation: "You are so interesting, I mean you are very good-looking. You You speak English really well, have you ever lived in New York?"

Luo Ding smiled and said nothing, ever stayed in New York?The current fluent oral English is something I forced myself to learn bit by bit when I was filming in Hollywood in my previous life.The suffering of not being able to speak the language in a foreign country is really indescribable in words. Only the feeling of being excluded in the world can stimulate the most primitive potential of people.

After the chatterbox was opened, the feeling of unfamiliarity immediately eased a lot. Carmen was not as difficult and serious as Luo Ding had imagined before. She had a kind of uninhibited and rebellious artist's uniqueness in her body. She seemed a little immature in speaking and doing things. In general, it is not as stable as most domestic directors.

But this kind of person is also very easy to please, as long as you do what you like and let him feel relaxed and carefree in the conversation, they are passionate and unrestrained, and they can easily make a stranger a confidant.Duan Xiubo also planned to sell Luo Ding to Carmen deliberately, so he also tried to shift the home court to Luo Ding. Seeing that the two chatted more and more speculatively, he simply got up and talked to the martial arts instructor who was resting aside.

The more Carmen chatted with the other party, the more surprised he was. The young man in front of him was so knowledgeable that he couldn't believe it.Apart from appearance, there was absolutely nothing in keeping with the characteristics of a man of his age.Carmen himself is a person with many hobbies, such as astronomy, geography, sports, even painting and musical instruments. In addition to filming for decades, he needs many other activities to relieve loneliness and find inspiration.Most of his friends of the same age are intoxicated in the world of flowers, bought by women, alcohol or marijuana, while those younger than him are busy with their careers, and the occasional fun they find in their spare time may not be in line with his taste.Because she knows too much, Carmen seldom meets people who can talk heartily in life. Everyone has blind spots in knowledge, just like Duan Xiubo. He is very familiar with music, astronomy and geography, and also likes basketball. I have no interest in football and painting. Similarly, some friends who love football may not be able to sink their minds into music.

But Luo Ding, he can talk to him about anything, and his words are always sharp and humorous, making people want to clap their hands and laugh.This is by no means an act of pretending to understand.

In the process of chatting with the other party, Carmen always has a strange feeling, as if as long as she covers her face and changes her voice, the smile and experience of the person in front of her is completely like a person of her own age.He couldn't even imagine how a young man in his 20s could compress his time to instill so much knowledge for himself. He thought of when he was in his 20s... oh, at that time he was still hanging out in bars and bad news. The children exchange contraband.

He looked at Luo Ding with smiles in his eyes. Only he knew how happy he was to meet such a compatible young man. The older he got, the more he liked to make friends with young people, which would give him a feeling of returning to his youth. good feeling.But the time in life is limited, most of the young people who have not experienced much are rebellious and ignorant, and the unavoidable shortcomings of this age are the most intolerable for Carmen. Duan Xiubo won Carmen's friendship with his uniqueness, Now, Carmen has met a friend who is more suitable for her than Duan Xiubo.

To his friends, he never knew everything and said everything.

""Blade Warrior III"?" Hearing that Carmen took the initiative to bring up this topic, Luo Ding appropriately expressed his surprise, "Have you started to prepare for the third film? The popularity of the second film has not faded yet! "

Carmen looked him up and down, with some sharp scrutiny in his eyes, and instead of answering the question, he said in a daze, "I need Chinese, probably two..."

Luo Ding looked puzzled: "Mr. Clovis?"

Carmen seemed to be woken up by him, she sat up from the chair and pressed his shoulder: "Hey, Duan said, are you an actor?"

"Yes." Luo Ding nodded without hesitation.

"In the third part, I need two actors of Asian descent." He said this, seeing that Luo Ding was still staring at him calmly and seriously, he immediately smiled, "Yes, I think you understand what I mean. Are you interested? We will start organizing auditions for actors next month or later, your appearance...putting on the uniform of soldiers will definitely be amazing."

Luo Ding was very surprised by the other party's invitation. Although his expression didn't change much, surprise surged in his heart.After all, for such a huge article, Carmen's attitude of inviting now seems to be a bit of a joke.

"Don't get me wrong." Carmen quickly explained, "It's just a try. I have already contacted several Asian actors who I like. Besides the protagonist who must be Duan, another Asian role is still to be determined. This is just one time Audition opportunity."

"...Of course I'm interested." Luo Ding slowed down his speech, feeling unspeakably excited at the sudden good fortune in his heart. Apart from smiling, he didn't know what expression to put on, so he could only whisper, "Thank you."

-

Duan Xiubo bowed his head to send text messages to Carmen, and listened to the sound of water dripping in the bathroom next to him with his ears upright, feeling more incredulous in his heart.

Luo Ding actually got the chance to audition for "Blade Warrior III" in such a short time, this is really...

That's right, he did introduce Luo Ding and Carmen with the idea of ​​getting more job opportunities after they got to know each other at the beginning. He knew that Luo Ding had his own way of meeting people and things, so he was relieved to confirm the relationship between the two. After there was no obstacle in personal language communication, the home court was directly handed over to Luo Ding.But no matter how much he believed in Luo Ding, he would never forget how "individual" Carmen's character is. There are not many people in the circle who have made their careers enough to rise to the height of art without eccentricities. Westerners are more expressive in this regard. Be direct.Just like Carmen, he is easily agitated, irritable, hyperactive and impulsive, and his thinking jumps to be comparable to a space-time battleship. Although everything will be no problem after becoming friends with him, but before becoming friends with him, please such a sentimental and fickle person. It's not an easy job for people.

He found that Luo Ding could always give him an unexpected answer when he had no hope for a matter. The number of surprises or surprises was too many. Now Duan Xiubo has learned to keep his face from the bottom of his heart.

He folded the change of coat and trousers that Wu Fangyuan left for Luo Ding just now and put them on the bedside, got up and poured himself a glass of water, after drinking, he felt the itching in his throat was suppressed.

The sound insulation in the bathroom is terrible.After all, it was just a lounge of a martial arts club, and it was not outstanding in terms of hardware conditions to attract students by relying on its excellent teaching quality.

The bathroom door opened, and a steaming steam gushed out, carrying the faint fragrance of shower gel into the nostrils, Duan Xiubo turned his head to look very keenly.

Luo Ding was wearing the nightgown provided in the lounge, white and thin, and was walking towards the bed stepping on a pair of slippers that didn't fit well.His half-length hair was wet, and the tip of the hair was still condensing and dripping, so Luo Ding turned his head slightly and walked around while wiping his hair with the towel in his hand, and shook his head slightly.

The skin of the young man who had just taken a bath was glowing with a layer of tender pink, which was so transparent that people dared not touch it like a fragile product.Probably very tired, eyes squinted slightly, a little lack of energy, like a big cat preparing to take a nap after eating, lazy and sluggish, lying in the sun and yawning without paying attention to the world The arrogance in the book looks extra cute.

The big cat approached the bed, threw the towel towards the table, and the person lay down on the quilt, and fell asleep.

The hem of the loose bathrobe was raised a lot, and the entire thigh was almost unobstructed. The slit of the overlapping fabric under the thin waistband of the bathrobe was just at the root of the thigh, supported by the round buttocks, vaguely, Can only see a little of the scenery inside.

Duan Xiubo's eyes were straightened again, and he stared at Luo Ding's sleeping position with a water glass in a daze for a while. Then he noticed a problem from the water stains on his face. Luo Ding fell asleep without drying his hair.

Duan Xiubo coughed, and with difficulty withdrew his attention. Hearing the shallow snoring that quickly sounded in the room, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.It seems that since he met Luo Ding, he has been wandering in various uncomfortable emotions.Luo Ding was too busy filming and didn’t have time to sleep, so he didn’t feel well. Luo Ding’s irregular meals and the pressure of filming caused him to lose weight quickly. Now the other party is so tired that he just falls asleep on the pillow. Obviously, he often falls into this state himself. Encountered, but still feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

Going to bed without drying your hair will cause rheumatism headaches. Duan Xiubo's eyes slipped from Luo Ding's thin white calf stretched out from the edge of the bed to his thigh, and then abruptly snapped back to the other's head. Take out the hair dryer.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and gently brushed Luo Ding's wet hair.

Luo Ding trembled all over, then quickly opened his eyes, his eyes regained clarity in an instant, staring closely at Duan Xiubo's face.

"..." Duan Xiubo was a little frightened, and raised the hair dryer in his hand, "You continue to sleep, and I will help you dry your hair."

Luo Ding's face was calm, and after a while he said dully: "...Brother Duan, you haven't left yet?"

Duan Xiubo paused for a moment with his hand holding the hair dryer, then slowly stretched out a finger and raised it in front of him: "How much is this?"

Luo Ding stared at him seriously, as if he was participating in a large meeting.

Duan Xiubo held back his laughter, turned on the power in silence and began to blow-dry Luo Ding's hair.The feeling of fingers passing through the hair and stroking the scalp gives people a very intimate and beautiful feeling. His strength is appropriate, neither light nor heavy, and quickly dispels the little resistance that Luo Ding had mobilized.

Duan Xiubo is his friend now, and Luo Ding never has too much guard against friends.

The hair wrapped around the hands and fingertips is soft and thin, and has no resemblance to the personality of the owner of the hair, but the fluffy feel is surprisingly easy to touch.Duan Xiubo dried his hair, rested his palms on Luo Ding's head, and stared down at the young man sleeping soundly, a little reluctant to leave.So he sat quietly.

The other party's thick eyelashes cast a heavy shadow on the lower eyelid, and because he slept on his side, his face was slightly puffed up by the pillow, and his pink lips were pouting, revealing a freshness and cuteness that was completely different from when he was awake.

Thinking of what the other party said seriously to him in the corridor, Duan Xiubo sighed lightly and shook his head.He's not a fool, so naturally he didn't realize that his affection for the other party was a little too much.But emotions can be restrained. Duan Xiubo is a rational person and has great confidence in his ability to control himself.Even if there is no such thing as love, getting along with Luo Ding makes him very happy and happy, that's enough, and it's no different as friends.

Unlike his father, who like a stallion squirts his sperm and longs to be lucky with women all over the world, Duan Xiubo has already been equipped with the binding force on his own feelings under the test of his father's true love since he was a child.His emotions have always been sent and received as freely as he performed on the stage, which truly confirms the saying that life is like a play.

Probably a little uncomfortable being pressed by the big palm on the top of his head, Luo Ding became short of breath, struggled to turn over, and at the same time stretched out his left hand to try to brush off the foreign object on his head.

Duan Xiubo let him pull his hand away, stared at the other party quietly and smiled for a while, then something flashed in his mind, remembering a detail that he accidentally forgot.

He stared nervously at Luo Ding, and after making sure that the other party was really asleep, he stretched out his hand and turned over Luo Ding's left hand very lightly, and at the same time rolled up the other party's sleeve with as little movement as possible.

He looked into Luo Ding's unobstructed wrist, and his brows were deeply wrinkled.

really……

Compared with the delicate and white skin next to it, the pink scar is particularly abrupt. The thin and narrow scars overlap each other, and there are even obvious intersections between the corners. These alone are not very shocking The scars weaved together, forming the very hideous knife wound in front of him.

When he accidentally touched Luo Ding's wrist during filming last time, he felt something was wrong. The touch of the scar was too obvious, and it was beyond the scope of explanation by accident.It's just that he couldn't confirm whether it was his own illusion at that time, and he couldn't find a chance to confirm it again without being so abrupt. This time, he finally answered a question mark in his heart.

But the reduction of one question led to the emergence of more questions.

With such a position, such a scar, and such a degree of healing, Duan Xiubo can guess what it represents without further explanation.Luo Ding actually cut his wrist?Why?Such a tough and strong person, no matter how you look at it, doesn't seem like an existence that would seek death!

He couldn't hide his worry and stared at the sleeping young man, and the uneasiness surging in his heart became more and more clear.

-

The video of Luo Ding singing in the Shanhai Building quickly spread on the Internet.

The top hits on the front page were slaughtered again, the protagonist is still Luo Ding, but the content has been separated from all incidental relations and purely revolves around his strength.

The fans who were filming at the scene probably contacted them privately, and they didn't spread all the fan filming videos, but picked out a clearer representative of the filming.

The Weibo blogger named "I'm taller than the sky" is a little transparent with less than [-] fans. The name with no limit is unknown. Luo Ding's fans always like to use it when posting his news. Especially exaggerated words to express their excitement.This Weibo full of the words ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is no exception.

Many people thought it was a spoof video at first, but after clicking on it, they realized that it was not the case.

In the transparent glass window, there is a metallic music equipment, and a handsome young man with his eyes closed stands behind the microphone and sings with a frown and affectionate expression.The video taken by Fan has jitters, the resolution is not clear enough, and the music is also recorded with some noise, which can be regarded as a shoddy level, but many people can't turn it off after clicking on the video.

Many people started to know Luo Ding from the shooting of Pan Yiming's MV album. They were attracted by the two photos with huge difference in his temperament, and then they heard the news of his shooting "Tang Chuan", and they were fascinated by his outstanding temperament. Attracted by the stills of Pan Yiming, and finally watched Luo Ding's dance at the scene of Pan Yiming's new album launch and the extremely high-level plot performance in the MV, he was completely loved. It can be said that everyone, including fans, is currently The reason why I like him so far is because of his outstanding appearance and temperament.

Luo Ding has no works that can be sold. Two well-known movies and TV shows are being filmed, and even the trailer will not be leaked. The MV co-operated with Pan Yiming is very handsome and charming. At the end of the song, there is not a single line of lyrics that can be interpreted. In the eyes of many people who don't like him, Luo Ding's position is undoubtedly a complete vase.

If he is popular, there will be black ones. The way the sunspots attack him is currently only to ridicule him for not having any works and relying on hype to gain popularity.

However, the video that appeared now undoubtedly slapped these people hard in the most direct and intense way.

The quality of the audio is so poor that you can hear the singer pouring out the full of affection that almost overflows in the words. Even the most picky audience can't find suitable shortcomings to criticize in singing and articulation, which is different from the vicissitudes of the original singer , the temperament of this song is more inclined to melancholy and sorrow, and hits the softest corner of the heart when people are caught off guard.Ordinary listeners are fortunate to say that those who have had the same experience as in the song, almost cried after listening to it, and after crying, they had to give a like to the sharer with a pair of eyes swollen into walnuts.

Marketing Bowen from all walks of life came out in full force, forwarding and busy.A video that has not been post-processed has over [-] comments in just three days. The attention rate of the Weibo account with only [-] fans has doubled, and the number of views on the original uploaded website is even faster than lightning. Breaking through the million mark, it is naturally impossible for Weibo to be harmonious under another bloody storm.

Luo Ding's rise was so fast that many artists in the entertainment circle became jealous of him, and many people who didn't know who he was could not help but wonder if this was another successful hype.

There has never been a shortage of conspiracy theorists in any era.Coupled with the fueling of the insiders hidden behind the scenes, voices of doubt gradually began to appear under the comments of the original blog.

"How could it be possible to sing this effect live? It must be dealt with later, right?"

"The fan shot must be fake, how could the background be so quiet?"

"Could it be that the hype company wrote, directed, acted and pretended to be a fan and released it to deceive the audience?"

The voices of opposition will not stop once they appear, and more and more people with unknown purposes have joined the camp of these voices.Those who are easy to be incited, lack self-worth and can only gain attention by fighting and opposing voices, and some are clearly here to discredit Luo Ding. considerable.

Fans ignored these voices at first, but this calm attitude made these opponents even more excited.

They began to be dissatisfied with just venting their opinions on the video Weibo, but turned to Luo Ding's Weibo homepage, shouting and insulting a person who had no connection with them as much as possible under the latest news.

"The sound repairer is about to cry, so he tried so hard to repair your sound and was ignored in the end?!"

"Get out of the entertainment circle if you only make hype! If you have the ability to come up with real materials!"

"Play your part well, vase, don't come to harm the music world!"

Some of the messages directly attacking people are even more ugly, making people frown.

As we all know, fan circles and fans are a very strange existence. No matter how much public opinion criticizes fan circles, fans can choose to silently endure and swallow this breath for the sake of the idol's reputation and the harmony of fan circles.

But if the ugly words are transferred from them to their idols...

Oh oh, that would be bad.As sharp as the beaks of the hens protecting the calf, their fighting power is as strong.
