Rebirth of the King of Shadow Emperor and Singer

"Dong dong dong" knocked on the door three times, short and powerful.

Qi Ran's sweet dream was disturbed, and she was so distressed that she wrapped herself in a quilt and pretended not to hear.

Helplessly, the knock on the door was tenacious and incessant.Qi Ran cursed, stumbled up and went to open the door, but bumped his head against the wall, fell on his back, and woke up.

It was only then that Qi Ran realized that this was a hotel room in City H, not Chu Xiuning's house or his own—the door was facing the wrong direction.More than a week ago, he brought Lu Yuming to watch the H City Film Festival, which is known as the "domestic movie carnival".

"Damn!" Qi Ran held his head and angrily opened the door.

Outside the door, Lu Yuming was dressed in casual sportswear, with a baseball cap on his head, and a shoulder bag slung across his shoulders, looking refreshed: "Wake up and watch a movie."

"Don't go, don't go, I've been watching five movies a day for more than a week, I'm so tired!" Qi Ran yelled angrily.

The film festival in City H has a 9-day film screening, showing more than 300 participating films, watching five films a day is already the result of Chu Xiuning's careful cuts.But no matter how good things are, once they are densely packed, it will be somewhat tiresome, but Lu Yuming's enthusiasm is still undiminished, with paper and pen stuffed in his backpack, he can read and record at any time, and he is as serious as academic research.

"Today is the last day, the premiere of "Luo Yu Sha Ding"."

"Raining Rain" is Yu Mao's fifth movie. Edgar is determined to promote Yu Mao, and the publicity is not stingy. In recent days, major media reports have been full of "Luoyu Shating", and there are only five trailers. different versions.The premiere was only on the last day of the film festival, and it felt like a long-awaited film, with a hint of slant.

"The one played by Yu Mao?" Qi Ran regained his energy when he heard "Luo Yu Sha Ting", "Then I can't even go. He has a feud with Chu Xiuning, and I can't help but beat him when I go. "

Yu Mao would only appear on the screen, so it would be difficult for Qi Ran to beat him up.Lu Yuming didn't expose it, and nodded, no more persuasion.

Instead, Qi Ran dragged Lu Yuming and nagged: "Come back early after watching, the awards ceremony will be held in the evening, and there will be a dinner after that. The organizer's dinner is no different from the previous small gatherings. Directors, producers, screenwriters, etc. will all be there. It's a chance to meet people." That's more. So you have to dress formally."

The tone of the exhortation was not Qi Ran's at all, and Lu Yuming knew it well.

"Understood." Lu Yuming said goodbye to Qi Ran, and went to the theater alone.

Qi Ran didn't come, Lu Yuming walked faster, with a little bit of impatience.Only he himself knows that he has watched a bunch of Chinese and foreign movies before, just foreshadowing.All you really need to watch is this one.He wants revenge, and one day he will face Mao's acting skills, and today's "Luo Yu Sha Ting" is the real beginning.

At the theater, Lu Yuming realized that he had wrongly blamed Qi Ran. There was a premiere ceremony for the premiere of "Luo Yu Sha Ding".A large group of reporters surrounded the theater door, countless flashing lights blaring.

It is not new for film crews to take advantage of the East Wind of the film festival to hold a premiere. Of course Yu Mao will appear on stage, and he will appear with the band Zero.

Tickets for the premiere are hard to come by, and most fans gather around the theater just to meet their idols.Lu Yuming held two tickets in his hands, and if Qi Ran couldn't come, the tickets would be wasted.Lu Yuming saw a boy who looked like a college student with a bass pendant around his neck, and handed him a ticket.

The premiere introduced the crew members, played the sideshow, and everything went in an orderly manner. The theme song of the same name of "Luo Yu Sha Ting" was performed by the band Zero, which naturally performed live, but unfortunately the response was mediocre.The media and the audience seemed to have long since thrown Zero into the dust in the corner and forgotten about them.

After one song, enter the media free interview session.This is the real thing, the reporter who got the first chance interviewed the band members with a smile.

"Yu Mao is currently living in film, television and music. Will filming delay the development of the band? Will the band members support it?"

"Of course, everyone is very tolerant to me." Yu Mao held the microphone with an extremely natural expression.

It's just that when acting skills are used in reality, it depends on the occasion, and Yu Mao seems to be not very good at this.

Bassist Ke Yan was the first to bear the brunt of not cooperating, and there was no trace of blessing on his face.But Ke Yan is a music lunatic. For activities other than music, he is worthy of the world if he does not fall asleep. No one is stupid enough to force a lunatic to speak.This point is tacitly understood by everyone.

"Since the captain's acting, the band has nothing to do." Zheng Tao, the drummer, really didn't cooperate.Zheng Tao used to say amazing things in the past, making Lu Yuming hard to guard against.It seems that there has been no progress in the past three years.

"Big Putao, you're joking again, next time you fill up the band's announcements, you're going to cry." The smile on Yu Mao's face was even worse, but his eyes were cold.

Fortunately, there is another Li Junyou in the Zero band. He is the keyboard player of the band. He is the oldest and the youngest, with a hunchback and a chest. He follows Yu Mao, more like a servant than a teammate. It is most appropriate to take over for Yu Mao at this time. : "We all support the captain."

"The language is barren, and the whitewashing is not effective." Someone nearby pulled out a chair and gave Li Junyou an eight-character comment.

Lu Yuming looked up, Chu Xiuning took off his sunglasses and smiled brightly.Fortunately, the hall was not bright, and Lu Yuming's seat was in a corner, even so, there were still people watching from across the aisle.

"why you?"

As a jury member of the film festival, Chu Xiuning spent the past eight days in the jury committee of the film festival, and it was rare to see him.But since he was a judge, he would naturally see "Luo Yu Sha Ting" in advance, and went to watch the premiere again. I don't know why.

"The matter of the judging committee is over, and we just have to wait for the final round of voting to present the awards tonight." Sensing someone watching him, Chu Xiuning shrank back in his seat, "I just want to watch the film again. Don't worry, I will choose this seat Yes, it's not that easy to spot."

Lu Yuming took off his baseball cap and slapped it on Chu Xiuning's face: "Be careful of exposure."

There was a fight before, and Chu Xiuning's appearance at the premiere of Yu Mao's new movie is really not a good idea.

Someone on the stage happened to mention Chu Xiuning: "I would like to ask Mr. Yu Mao to talk about it. What do you think about Chu Xiuning participating in the judging work of the film festival this time?"

"Since Young Master Chu is able to join the jury, there are naturally organizers' considerations. I know what everyone is worried about, but we have reconciled privately. You don't have to worry about it." Yu Mao smiled.

"I reconciled with him?" Chu Xiuning was surprised, "Why didn't I know?"

"I don't even know." Lu Yuming replied with a straight face.Fortunately, the media interview ended soon, and the film screening began.

"Luo Yu Sha Ting" is a literary film with a simple story.It tells the story of a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, facing the turbulence of his family and country and the great changes of the times, and his inner struggle and pain.The film has made some compromises to the business, adding funny characters and lingering emotional entanglements, but overall it does not lose its character.

The most amazing thing is Yu Mao's acting skills.

Yu Mao in "Luo Yu Sha Ting" is not anyone Lu Yuming knows.Yu Mao is no longer Yu Mao on the screen, but the old scholar struggling in the times.

This was the first time that Lu Yuming felt that Yu Mao was so powerful.

"What are you thinking about? Lost your mind." After the movie ended, Chu Xiuning lowered the brim of his hat and followed Lu Yuming out, "How is Yu Mao's acting skills?"

"Thrilling." Lu Yuming raised his head thoughtfully, "Very powerful."

In the pitch-black eyes, Frozen seemed to be pierced by lightning, showing a trace of eagerness and fighting spirit, with a bloodthirsty expression like a beast.

"But, you can win!"

Chu Xiuning was taken aback, and then expressed his appreciation: "The movie is not in vain! All the lines from "Battle in the World" are used. Let me tell you who is better in acting between this film and "Battle in the World."

"Teacher Yan." Lu Yuming did not shirk, "Also facing the opening and closing of the times, Teacher Yan's character is more complicated. His final choice is to betray the country. The loyalty thinking and human conflicts before and after made this character burdened. Huge pain, but you have to bear it all the time. In comparison, the role of Yu Mao just complains blindly. Although the acting is very contagious, the intensity and difficulty are not as strong as Teacher Yan."

"It's just," Lu Yuming said decisively, "the themes of the two films are different. The magical elements and Hollywood-level special effects in "Battle of All Sides" are too gimmicky, which somewhat obscures Teacher Yan's acting skills. On the contrary, The background of "Luo Yu Sha Ting" is realistic, and the lens is delicate, but it gives Yu Mao more space to play."

"And the promotion of Edgar Company this time is very interesting, and it has kept a sense of mystery until the last day." Chu Xiuning frowned, "The exposure rate of "Fighting Eight" was too high before, and Lao Yan will suffer this time."

"What I can see, are you judges blind?" Lu Yuming glanced at Chu Xiuning.

Chu Xiuning frowned: "The judges are not blind, but it is still possible to be stunned by Edgar."

The two walked outside the theater door, Lu Yuming stopped: "You mean the camera obscura?"

Chu Xiuning did not speak.

The sun was shining brightly outside the theater, and some reporters waited hard outside to interview the audience.Surrounded by praise, a female fan answered questions while sobbing, and finally hugged her boyfriend and burst into tears.

Among a group of people who were agitated by the movie and couldn't control their emotions, the two expressionless guys had a strange aura walking in the crowd.A reporter came over to stop them from interviewing, but a boy who looked like a college student ran out from behind and grabbed Lu Yuming's arm: "Ah, I found you!"

The boy was wearing a SLR camera, with a bass pendant dangling around his neck.

"You gave me the admission ticket just now. If it's convenient, can I buy you a cup of tea as a thank you?" The boy said lightly, but he turned around and took Chu Xiuning's arm, and led him to a place where there were few crowds.

Chu Xiuning was dragged inexplicably, and Lu Yuming followed quickly.

After walking for a few steps, the boy took the two of them to an empty alley. He looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then said, "Hello, Young Master Chu, I am Ye, an intern reporter from "Long Shot" magazine. Bin."

Lu Yuming stopped in front of Chu Xiuning one step at a time, his face frosty.

"Don't get me wrong, "Long Shot" is not a gossip entertainment magazine, it mainly analyzes movies." Ye Bin hurriedly explained, "I will not expose the fact that Young Master Chu came to see "Luo Yu Sha Ting". It's just that I just because of your I just sat next to you, and I went out of the theater together, and I heard something. I want to confirm."

Ye Bin looks very upright, with the integrity, ambition and enthusiasm of a journalist who has just entered the industry. He is youthful, but his attitude of asking questions is immature and hesitant: "Is the camera obscura real?"

"No." Chu Xiuning denied with a smile.

Lu Yuming raised his head in surprise, after all, what Chu Xiuning said just now pointed to the fact that the jury of the film festival may operate in secret!

"I won't expose your identity. I just want a clue. If it is true, I will find evidence to expose this matter myself." Ye Bin was a little anxious.

"You can't even get into the premiere scene, how can you find evidence?" Chu Xiuning looked a little cruel at this time, "And this matter, there is no need to deliberately hide it, Edgar still has contacts, favors, investment commitments, or just If you want to prove that you are unique, you can let the judges tilt the scales."

"It's just that the tilt is going to hit Lao Yan this time." Chu Xiuning narrowed his eyes, and suddenly laughed, with stars shining in the depths of his eyes, "Reporter Ye, does "Long Shot" accept submissions? It doesn't matter if you don't accept it." , can I take your penholder and use it?"
