After Being Scumbed - Chapter 46
The film took 120 minutes to tell a story: In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the gate of the country was forced to open. Even the feudal and traditional official homes began to let their children learn Western culture. It was during this period that a minister hired a female husband who had returned from studying in the West for his daughter…
With the arrival of the female husband, this rigorous feudal family everywhere, like a pool of stagnant water thrown into rocks, set off a new wave.
The traditional and pedantic big officials looked down on the female husband, and on the other hand, because of the new trend of the upper class in learning Western culture, they had to let their daughters who did not meet the cardamom to learn from the female husband, in order to raise the value of their daughters and marry a good family.
However, with the teaching of the female husband, the daughter who has learned a lot of new ideas has become more and more rebellious. She gradually became less like a lady, this bird from the cage began to yearn for a free world outside. So when the father happily wanted to marry her to a prince, the daughter began her rebellious journey…
She was determined to flee and fled abroad. After going through many hardships, the bird-like lady in the cage, with the help of her mother and her husband, finally boarded the ship to England…
At the end of the story, it is the young lady who has cut her long hair into shoulder-length hair. She is wearing a western-style dress and holding a white beret standing on the deck, looking up against the sea breeze. Seagull flying over the sails.
The seagull swept across the sky, leaving behind a free figure…
At the end of the movie, the lights came on, and Yin Bai, who was sitting in the guest seat, raised his hand and clapped his hands nonstop. After a while, all the people around stood up, applauded, and expressed their praise for the film with applause.
Zuo Jingyou stood up from his seat, raised a smile to the waves of applause, and then bowed slowly, thanking everyone present for their praise.
After the premiere, many filmmakers attended the premiere banquet held by Zuo Jingyou.
At the banquet, Zuo Jingyou, who is both the director and the female husband in the film, led the female students in his movie and greeted all the guests who could name them.
The girl who plays the female student in the movie is Ye Ran, a child star who was just admitted to the premiere last year. He also played mother and daughter with Zuo Jingyou before. The two can be regarded as sisters and they have a very good relationship.
Zuo Jingyou took Ye Ran’s hand, reciprocated the guests with a glass of wine, and accepted instructions or praise from the other party. It was almost a night of entertainment.
Yin Bai, who was going to come forward to congratulate him, finally endured the desire to talk after seeing Zuo Jingyou’s busy socializing, and took Zhang Yu to take a step back, sitting in the corner and eating fruit silently like an invisible person. , Waited until Zuo Jingyou was free.
After finally waiting for Zuo Jingyou to let go of Ye Ran’s hand and go to the gap next to get a snack, Yin Bai immediately got up with a cane and walked towards Zuo Jingyou.
But not two steps away, she saw a woman wearing a loose white shirt and black wide-leg suit trousers walking quietly and straight to the left: “Quiet!”
Zuo Jingyou turned his head and looked at the source of the sound. When he saw the person coming, he was a little surprised: “Senior Sister Xu, I thought you weren’t coming.”
Yin Bai who was not far away heard this conversation and immediately stopped, sat down on the spot with a cane, looking eagerly at Zuo Jingyou who was not far away.
Here comes the shoulder-to-shoulder mid-length hair, which looks very capable and neat. She was obviously very familiar with Zuo Jingyou, and when she came straight to Zuo Jingyou, she smiled and said to her: “This is my junior’s first movie, how could I not come.”
The woman with medium and long hair held her arms and smiled and said to Zuo Jingyou, “I watched the movie, but after watching the movie, I answered the phone and settled something before I came over to your banquet.”
A smile appeared on Zuo Jingyou’s face, and his eyes were shining at each other: “Senior Sister saw my movie, what do you think?”
The woman smiled and gave a fairly pertinent evaluation: “The story is well written, but the shooting techniques and editing are a bit green. I like Mrs. Li the most, that is, the female student and her mother. She was originally a traditional patriarch. The objectified women, at first could not understand some of the behaviors of the female husband, and gradually became edified by the female husband’s thoughts, and finally found a way out just like her own daughter…”
“Of course, the most important point is that I also particularly like one of your designs: that is, the female husband is the husband without a name in the whole movie.”
The woman quietly gave a thumbs up to the left, and said admiringly, “Great!”
Zuo Jingyou smiled and curled his eyes, and said embarrassedly: “I will be very happy to be praised by the senior sister.”
The woman raised her hand and patted Zuo Jingyou’s shoulder, and said with satisfaction: “You are very talented, and this movie will also achieve good results. Of course, I look forward to your future performance.”
Zuo Jingyou curled his eyebrows and smiled: “With the encouragement of Senior Sister, I don’t dare to relax.”
The woman smiled, sighed, and said with encouragement on her face: “Come on, Quiet!”
The woman put her hand down and took a deep look at Zuo Jingyou: “I’m on the plane tonight, so I have to go. I’ll contact you when I turn around.”
Knowing her behavior, Zuo Jingyou nodded and said, “Well, senior sister, be careful all the way.”
The woman thought for a while, and said to Zuo Jingyou: “I had a project before and I have always wanted to work with you. Go back to your email. If you are interested, please contact me.”
Zuo Jingyou nodded and said something good. The woman took a glass of wine from the passing waiter, and briefly touched the glass with Zuo Jingyou. After drinking the glass, she hurriedly left.
This person is like the wind, coming fast and going fast.
Yin Bai sat in the corner with a cane, watching Zuo Jingyou standing on the spot, watching the woman leave, a strange feeling arose in his heart.
I always feel weird…
I always think this woman is weirdly good with Zuo Jingyou…
Yin Bai pressed down on that bit of unpleasantness in his heart, got up on crutches, and walked quietly towards Zuo. When Zuo Jingyou heard the sound of her crutches, she turned around abruptly and met Yin Bai’s eyes.
With her eyes facing each other, Zuo Jingyou blinked at Yin Bai, and said with some embarrassment: “Teacher Yin Bai…I thought you had already gone back.”
Yin Bai paused, but still came to Zuo Jingyou’s side with a cane, and said in a weird manner: “You busy man, will you still notice me?”
Zuo Jingyou curled his lips and smiled: “No matter how busy I am, I will never forget Teacher Yin.”
Zuo Jingyou sighed, came to Yin Bai, pulled her sleeves, and whispered in her ear: “Friend, what do you think of this movie?”
Zuo Jingyou raised her eyes, looked at Yin Bai softly, and said as if she was acting like a baby: “Just say something nice, and let those filmmakers say it tonight if it doesn’t sound.”
Yin Bai thought, this is my line!
She raised the corners of her lips, leaned on the crutches and knocked twice on the ground, looking down as Zuo Jingyou said a word very sincerely: “bravo!”
Zuo Jingyou asked in a soft voice, “Really?”
Yin Bai nodded: “Of course, it’s wonderful, it’s so beautiful!” She was afraid that Zuo Jingyou would not believe it, so she gave her own argument: “From the content point of view, this is a very complete story. You must know what is being shown in movie theaters now. Many films can’t tell a good story!”
“The core is also very good. From the changes of two women in the feudal family, to show the female awakening and national awakening of that era, as well as the changes of the times, it is very rare to see the big in the small.”
“Even the female gentleman who you play is like a tool person. Because of your superb acting skills, you will never forget, and you have created a very wonderful female character in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.”
Yin Bai thought for a while, slowed down his voice, and looked at Zuo Jingyou with gentle eyes: “Your appearance inside is very beautiful. Whether you wear a suit, a long gown, or a cheongsam, you are all very beautiful.”
“I used to think that you are usually very beautiful, but you are more charming and very moving in the movie.”
When Yin Bai praised people, he always looked at them with her beautiful gray-blue eyes, looking focused and affectionate. Zuo Jingyou raised his head and met her gaze, his heartbeat missed half a beat.
She glanced at Yin Bai’s eyes that seemed to be very affectionate, unconsciously lowered her eyes, and said embarrassedly: “Well… you can say that, I’m very happy.”
Zuo Jingyou pursed his lips for a moment, then raised his head and smiled at Yin Bai: “With your remarks, I think no matter what movie reviews I see tonight, I will be happy.”
Yin Bai looked at Zuo Jingyou’s face, his gaze dropped and fell on her shoulder. She hesitated for a while, then raised her hand, gently patted Zuo Jingyou’s shoulder, encouraging the other person and saying, “You are excellent, don’t worry!”
“This movie is good, and you are good too. You will get the praise you deserve.”
Zuo Jingyou lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on Yin Bai’s hand on his shoulder, with a subtle emotion.
She raised her eyes and looked at Yin Bai’s face. But I saw Yin Bai put one hand on her shoulder and the other with a cane. He raised his eyes to look into the distance and asked nonchalantly: “Speaking of which, who is the lady who just came to talk to you? I always think she is a bit familiar. “
Zuo Jingyou looked at her expression like “Obviously I want to ask, but I have to pretend to be okay”, and somehow wanted to laugh.
She smiled and gently explained to Yin Bai: “That’s Xu Ruofeng, my senior sister, the director of the documentary.”
“She made the documentary “Children of Xiangxi” that was very popular before.”
“Oh…” Yin Bai nodded thoughtfully: “The documentary… No wonder I can’t remember the name… I can go and watch that documentary when I look back!”
Yin Bai said that it didn’t matter, but in his heart he wondered how to be the director again. Did she commit a crime with the director in her life?
