Chapter 120: A sweet romance film

There were many people who didn't know the truth and had the same thoughts as International Zhang. In everyone's concept, a romance film that can win awards at the European Big Three must be a bit different.

For example, as a netizen said.

Man-woman-man? Woman-man-woman? Or the woman and that couple?

That would be reasonable.

Such a film is a philosophical film exploring human nature and deep loneliness and solitude.

*Secret Sunshine*—look at this name. It sounds like a sweet multi-person romance story.

Pang Bing also found many connections at that time to be able to audition for the female lead at Cao Yang's place. She didn't expect that she would eventually lose to a small actor who became famous by shooting commercials.

She still hasn't figured out where she lost until now.

If you say the other party's technique is better, that doesn't hold water. Cao Dao didn't have the slightest hint at the time, and he pretended not to understand her hints. There was no comparison of technique at all.

If you say appearance, am I not worse than her?

Sigh, I don't understand. Is it really because of acting skills?

So, she decided to watch this film with such a mood. She wanted to see what the other party could perform in a romance film.

Xu Jinglei was also very depressed. That woman Gao Yuanyuan had acting skills? When filming *Spring Subway* at the beginning, those few simple shots were NG repeatedly. How could she suddenly become a Cannes Best Actress?

It's true that Cao Yang is good at coaching actors, and this is also recognized. But being able to coach a little white flower into a Cannes Best Actress in a short time is seriously illogical!

What's even more annoying is that that woman, an 18th-tier small artist, won the Cannes Best Actress and suddenly became the top domestic actress. Whether it was the compensation quote or the endorsement fee, she threw herself a long distance away!

I'm not convinced!

Xu Jinglei pulled Wang Shuo to the cinema to see how much that woman was worth.

Then, everyone who watched the film was silent.

International Zhang sighed many times in a gentle international tone, with a stomach full of words and no one to tell.

"Who has been saying this is a romance film!"

"Gao Yuanyuan can win Cannes Best Actress... it's not an upset."

"Her performance is really good. I don't know if I can be so natural."

"Cao Yang is really awesome!"

After watching, Pang Bing was also full of question marks.

"This damn thing can be a sweet romance film?"

"No wonder Cao Dao chose Gao Yuanyuan. She acted really well. It doesn't look like acting at all, without any trace of performance."

"I probably can't do what she did..."

"Cao Dao is really awesome!"

After watching, Wang Shuo patted Xu Jinglei's hand unceremoniously. "Don't be unconvinced. You don't have such acting skills. Even if you grind, you can't be so natural."

Xu Jinglei hummed, but didn't refute. She had self-knowledge. She could never achieve such natural, unpretentious, and explosive acting skills.

"She filmed with me. Her acting skills weren't like this. They were very poor, okay."

Xu Jinglei pouted and said. She recognized the acting skills, but she was still a bit unconvinced about the person.

Wang Shuo thought for a while and said: "In the past, so many people said Cao Yang was good at coaching actors. I didn't feel anything, just felt he was lucky."

"And now?"

Xu Jinglei asked curiously. "One word: convinced! A big 'convinced,' awesome!"

Then he patted Xu Jinglei's hand again and said: "You, you shouldn't be willful. You shouldn't have refused to play a supporting role this time. Building a good relationship with such a director is better than any messy things."

"I saw that woman as the lead and wanted me to play a supporting role for her. I wasn't convinced. You also know that the media reported a lot of scandals at the time. How could I be embarrassed to play a supporting role for her."

"Unfortunately, Cao Yang went to Hollywood. Now I want to build a good relationship with him, but there's no way."

Xu Jinglei actually regretted it in her heart. She should have gone up without shame at the time. Now it's too late to say anything. Cao Yang has gone to Hollywood to develop, and there's no way to go up.

"Hey, there must be opportunities. Hollywood isn't that easy to mix in. Maybe he'll come back with a gray face after shooting this film. But don't look down on him just because he failed in Hollywood. When he comes back, he's still a big director, and his status is there."

"Hmm, I know. Do I need you to remind me?"

At this time, the Internet, especially several forums and communities, was already bustling and lively.

"Woo woo woo, who the hell spread the rumor that this is a sweet romance film? I brought my girlfriend, thinking that a film that can win a European big award must be able to learn some useful postures... no, knowledge."

"As a result, my girlfriend cried while watching, crying so hard that she couldn't be persuaded. Her good mood was gone. Let alone postures... knowledge, she didn't even let me touch her!"

"Same feeling! I also believed the nonsense on the forum, saying it must be a story between a woman and a couple... Nonsense! Can you imagine me, a big man, watching with tears in my eyes?"

!

"Too hateful. Which media reported it as a romance film first? I was also fooled. After watching, I couldn't calm down for a long time... By the way, Gao Yuanyuan acted really well. She deserves to be able to win Cannes Best Actress."

"I remember it seemed that at the opening press conference, Cao Yang's explanation of the film title was that *Secret Sunshine* is hidden sunshine, hidden sunshine, hidden light, reliance, love around... Maybe the last few words were interpreted as a romance film."

"Cao Yang's explanation is fine. It can only be said that the reporter is stupid and thinks he is smart."

"The reporter is stupid and thinks he is smart."

"The reporter is stupid and thinks he is smart."

"The reporter is stupid and thinks he is smart."

"Wait a minute, let me interrupt the formation. I haven't watched it yet. I'll just ask one sentence: Is this film good?"

"Cannes Best Director and Best Actress, you deserve to have it. The film is very depressing and absolutely exceeds 99% of the films this year."

"The quality of the film is very good, the storytelling level is also high, and Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills are no problem. Cannes Best Actress is well-deserved. However, I still want to say: the reporter is stupid and thinks he is smart."

"The reporter is stupid and thinks he is smart."

"The reporter is stupid and thinks he is smart."

The popularity of *Secret Sunshine* indeed exceeded Cao Yang's previous two films. Even *3-Iron*, which won the Golden Lion, couldn't compare with *Secret Sunshine* in terms of heat.

This is due to many reasons. One is the first Cannes Best Actress, and the other reason is that the reporter reported it as a romance film, but everyone saw it, and it was not a romance film at all, but very depressing.

But because the quality of the film is indeed good, and there are not many films to watch these days, when a film that can win an award has high popularity, everyone will follow the trend to watch it.

A film recognized by the European Big Three will appear to have a lot of style. This is the characteristic of this era.

When *Secret Sunshine* was being released hotly, Cao Yang's *Despicable Milk* was also almost ready.
