Chapter 560

There are fresh things in the entertainment industry every day. As soon as Wei Jin arrived at the crew early in the morning, he ate a top-level melon.

When *Dangerous Liaisons* was released last year, Zhang Ziyi tearfully confessed at the premiere: she just wanted to find a good person, an honest person to marry.

Then she made her relationship with Sa Beinan public. In order to promote the film, she frequently showed her face with him, showing off her love in various ways.

Including *Sophie's Revenge 2* at the beginning of the year, the two were still showing affection in public.

But now it seems, Sa Beinan might not be a good person, or maybe not honest enough?

Otherwise, the one having dinner with Zhang Ziyi's family shouldn't be Wang Feng, but Sa Beinan, right? In the photos exposed by the paparazzi, Zhang Ziyi's family and Wang Feng got along extremely harmoniously, and the two parties had many intimate scenes afterwards.

There was no help for it; in the morning, classmate Sa Beinan was forced to admit the fact that the two had broken up not long ago.

Zhang Ziyi also followed suit and posted a text, decisively admitting the new relationship.

Good heavens, the last one just broke up, and the new boyfriend seamlessly connected? At this moment, whether it was the entertainment industry or the internet, they were all attracted by this big news, and the discussion was heated.

The music circle led by Na Ying was almost all liking and blessing.

And the film and television circle was relatively calm; after all, Zhang Ziyi had been flattering the high and trampling on the low over the years, and her popularity was not very good.

On the contrary, the internet was almost one-sided abuse, and even Zhang Ziyi's previous black materials were dug out by netizens and whipped again.

Including the crew, everyone was discussing it now. Lu Yang was the most active, analyzing the reasons for the breakup for everyone.

"It is said that Zhang Ziyi listens to her family very much. Her parents and brother are dissatisfied with Sa Beinan; his income is too low, not even a fraction of hers. I guess they look at Sa Beinan like a soft-eating gigolo.

Wang Feng is different. Whether it's popularity or income, it's completely different. What? Knowledge? Compared to these, knowledge is a fart..."

One has to admit, Lu Yang's analysis was quite reasonable.

"Cough, alright, stop gossiping, everyone. Get ready."

"Okay, Director Wei."

After greeting, Wei Jin came behind the monitor, preparing to start today's filming.

Since the actors' scenes wrapped, for the past two days, the director's work was all his own.

At this time, the crew was almost ready, and the female lead was also in the dressing room.

Today's scene is the female lead giving a speech at the funeral after the male lead passed away, needing to maintain a sad state, constantly shedding tears while reading the elegy.

"Boss Wei, this is the red envelope prepared for you."

"Mm, okay."

Wei Jin nodded, took it with one hand, and stuffed it into his pocket.

When the scene of passing away ended, he had already received a red envelope, but for today's scene, using his black-and-white photo at the funeral, according to the industry rules, another one had to be issued.

Ten minutes later, everything was ready for the crew, and Liu Yifei also came out of the dressing room, looking like she had entered the state.

I saw the girl dressed in black, looking very solemn, but the pale and haggard look on her face made people feel very distressed.

To avoid the emotion being destroyed, Wei Jin didn't say much, just picked up the megaphone and issued instructions.

"Attention everyone, countdown 30 seconds."

"Action!"

In the shot, Liu Yifei walked towards the front row with heavy steps, her tears already unable to stop sliding down.

Looking at the black photo in front, she recalled the scenes of meeting, knowing, and loving in her mind, opened her mouth, couldn't speak, only her eye sockets were redder.

Wei Jin behind the monitor nodded secretly. Liu Yifei's performance in this film was indeed excellent, and even most of the time, she couldn't see the traces of acting, and she was indeed deeply immersed.

"After the wrap, I have to let her relax well. It's better to touch this kind of play less in the future..."

Just as Wei Jin thought this in his heart, Liu Yifei in the shot spoke.

"... You, you are a ray of warm sunshine in my life, the person I love most in my life..."

The falling tears, accompanied by choked lines, were read very slowly, highlighting the female lead's loneliness and helplessness.

Undoubtedly, Liu Yifei's performance was qualified, even exceeding Wei Jin's expectations, so that this very difficult scene passed in one take.

Then several transition scenes were filmed one after another, and the whole morning passed like this.

"That's it for the morning, the field manager will arrange for a meal. In the afternoon, we will film the last scene."

Perhaps because she had been immersed in the character, Liu Yifei ate very little at noon.

During the break, the two leaned together in the nanny car.

"Brother, after this film wraps, I have to relax well at home, it's too uncomfortable..."

"It should be relaxed well, you used too much force, but the performance is really good."

Wei Jin touched the girl's pretty face without too much comfort.

Liu Yifei's heart was still very strong, and getting out of the play was not a problem.

After all, when facing online rumors, she didn't have any psychological problems.

And the key is that she has a killer move; at worst, she can just sleep for a few more days, and all troubles will be forgotten! In the afternoon, the last scene began.

In the monitor screen, Liu Xiaoli was comforting the self-enclosed female lead.

At this time, the best friend Luo Jin walked over with a blind cane.

"He has a letter, let me give it to you after he leaves."

Hearing this, there was a glimmer of vitality and light in the female lead's dull eyes.

She opened the envelope with trembling hands, looked at the familiar handwriting, and tears surged out again.

"... You ask me, what did we do wrong? Why does fate treat us like this?"

"I want to tell you, we did nothing wrong, no one did anything wrong, fate is wrong."

Shakespeare's lines in *Julius Caesar* are right, The Fault in Our Stars, everything is 'the fault in our stars'."

"I left, but my love for you didn't stop. Live well, face every day positively and sunny, live well for me, overcome fate, okay?"

"Okay... sob..."

"Cut."

After Wei Jin called cut, he left the monitor, walked quickly forward, and pulled the girl into his arms. The latter was already crying until her voice was hoarse.

"Yifei, it's over, it's already over."

"Sob... Brother, I know, I just want to cry... sob..."

Wei Jin didn't say anything more, just held her quietly like this.

In fact, it's good to cry like this. After the emotion is vented, recovery will be faster.

And at this time, the crew didn't disturb, everyone was quietly packing up props and equipment, as if they were still immersed in such a sad love story.

Sure enough, after Liu Yifei cried for half an hour, her mood was greatly relieved, and at this time the crew had already packed up.

Wei Jin walked back to the monitor, picked up the megaphone, and gave enough ritual sense.

"I announce, *The Fault in Our Stars* officially wraps!"

Although he refused all media set visits, such a thing as a film wrap couldn't be hidden.

The wrap banquet had just started, and the media reports came out.

"The art romance film *The Fault in Our Stars*, written, directed, and starred by Director Wei Jin and starring Liu Yifei, officially wrapped today!" "*The Fault in Our Stars* filming duration is only 27 days, big director Wei Jin refreshed the filming record again!"

"..."

The atmosphere of the wrap banquet was quite good, but Wei Jin wouldn't forget the feast thing before. At this moment, he frequently called on everyone to raise a glass with Lu Yang.

The big boss spoke, and everyone naturally wouldn't refuse, making Lu Yang miserable.

However, this guy was also very cunning, and simply broke a big piece of news.

"Don't just stare at me, drink a few more glasses with Luo Jin, maybe you'll have a wedding drink later..."

"Director Lu, words can't be said randomly..."

"What random words, do you dare to take out your phone and show everyone? The chat with Tang Yan, at least hundreds or thousands of messages, right?"

"Really?"

"Director Lu, tell me in detail..."

As soon as Lu Yang said this, the scene became excited instantly, even Liu Yifei became interested, and Chen Xi's eyes were shining.

Two months ago, *X-Woman Agent* was broadcast, Luo Jin and Tang Yan collaborated for the second time, and were reported by the media again, suspected of falling in love because of the play.

However, neither of them admitted it, only saying they were ordinary friends, so everyone didn't take it seriously; after all, Tang Yan's wrist-cutting incident had just passed at that time.

But now it seems, there really is something tricky. In such a short filming time, dozens of messages a day on average, is this f*cking an ordinary friend? But facing the gossip fire of the crowd, Luo Jin refused to admit it, and everyone decisively used the drinking method, hoping to tell the truth after drinking.

One has to admit, Luo Jin's mouth was really tight. Lu Yang, Chen Xi, and others took turns pouring him, but he just wouldn't open his mouth.

Of course, the final result was that Luo Jin bore the vast majority of the damage in the second half of the night and was carried back directly by his assistant.

Until the wrap banquet ended, on the way back to Xishan Villa, Liu Yifei was still curious about Luo Jin and Tang Yan.

Wei Jin didn't have a conclusion, just stated his judgment:

"I don't know if it's done, but I guess Luo Jin is interested in Tang Yan. He didn't intend to take *X-Woman Agent* originally, because he had to film *Boss & Me* at that time, but later he applied to the company to adjust the scenes and took this film, hehe..."

"So that's it, it would be good if it's done."

Although she wasn't familiar with Tang Yan, in Liu Yifei's view, she could cut her wrists for a man, so she should be quite serious about feelings and worthy of her classmate Luo Jin.

"Mm, it's quite good."

Wei Jin nodded in agreement, and was about to invite the girl to take a bath together when the phone started to vibrate.

Looking at the caller ID, Wei Jin raised his eyebrows.

"Hello, Director Li?"

Liu Yifei on the side saw that Wei Jin had serious business, so she walked towards the bathroom on her own.

"Director Wei, did I disturb you? I heard *The Fault in Our Stars* wrapped?"

Honestly, as soon as Ang Lee's call came, Wei Jin could roughly guess what it was.

"Mm, Director Li's news is quite well-informed, the wrap banquet just ended. But this call shouldn't just be for greetings, right? Haha..."

"Haha..."

Ang Lee on the other end of the phone also laughed. "Director Wei is right. This time, it's mainly to discuss this year's Golden Horse Awards with you."

Wei Jin sighed in his heart, sure enough. The favor owed to the Golden Horse Awards last year should be repaid.

In fact, during the Oscars last year, Ang Lee brought up the old matter again, but Wei Jin still didn't give a clear answer at that time.

But this time, it was likely that he couldn't run away.

"Mm, Director Li, tell me about the specific arrangements first. You can't let me continue to compete with a movie whose post-production hasn't even started, right? Haha..."

Wei Jin gave a preventive shot in advance, although he knew the probability was not high.

After all, the Golden Horse Awards last year were criticized by the locals, and the organizing committee probably wouldn't want him to compete; otherwise, wouldn't they have to send out a few more awards?

Sure enough, Ang Lee had other arrangements this time.

"Final jury member?"

Wei Jin was really a bit surprised; Ang Lee actually wanted him to serve as a final jury member.

However, Wei Jin's interest was not high. Although the final jury member doesn't participate in the nomination and selection of films, he must stay from the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony, which is too delaying.

"Director Li, I estimate that I have a new film starting in the second half of the year. In addition, *Nomadland* should continue to compete for the Oscars, and there are some work arrangements later, so I'm really busy..."

Wei Jin's words were not just an excuse. He had promised Old Han a script before, and he would definitely not break his promise. As for the Oscar PR, it was not that important.

But this reason left Ang Lee speechless, and he could only retreat to the second best.

"Sorry, Director Wei, it was my lack of consideration. Then how about an award presenter?"

"Mm, that's no problem."

Wei Jin didn't refuse again; it was just a matter of one or two days.

"Okay, that's settled. In addition, I wish Director Wei success in the Oscars this year and continue to win big awards."

"Thank you, Director Li, for your kind words."

After chatting for a while, Wei Jin hung up the phone and walked towards the bathroom... In the bathroom, Wei Jin leaned in the bathtub, his hands supporting Liu Yifei's slender waist, and began to sway.

At this time, Liu Yifei's body leaned forward, her hands supporting the wall behind Wei Jin's head.

That beautiful pretty face was full of blushes, her attractive red lips slightly opened and closed, a pair of phoenix eyes slightly blurred, and her perky breasts swayed in front of Wei Jin from time to time.

Such beautiful scenery made Wei Jin couldn't help but lean up, followed by the girl's breathing becoming heavier and heavier.

Ten minutes passed, Liu Yifei seemed to have recovered from the clouds, looked up at Wei Jin.

"Brother, was that Director Ang Lee just now?"

"Mm, about inviting me to the Golden Horse..."

He told the whole story, and didn't hide his reluctance to participate in the Golden Horse.

"Yifei, your performance in this movie is very good, maybe we can go to the European Big Three for a turn."

"Mm? Is it really possible, Brother?" Liu Yifei was full of surprise.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you? Whether you can win an award is hard to say, but there is definitely no problem with being nominated."

Regarding this point, Wei Jin still had confidence; his screening share was not inferior to Zhang Yimou's at all.

"Mua, Brother, you are so good..."

Wei Jin lifted the girl's chin, with a playful look on his face. "Yifei, when expressing gratitude, you must be sincere."

Although Liu Yifei got out of the play quickly, Wei Jin still felt that physical pleasure could make her recover better, so he was really worried.

But the girl didn't quite understand, pouting her red lips. "Brother, didn't you just..."

"Hehe, who told my Yifei to be so beautiful, I haven't had enough yet..."

Liu Yifei sighed, feeling both sweet and helpless in her heart. What should she do if her boyfriend has too much physical strength? Then she rolled her eyes beautifully and slowly lowered her fair swan neck.

"Hiss... oh..."
