Chapter 257: Sissi's First Art Film?

Tonight's Bazaar Charity Night made Liu Yifei a little disappointed.

It's called charity, but it's actually an occasion for celebrities to socialize.

Except for the final auction, there was nothing related to charity at other times. The celebrities held champagne and smiled and flattered in front of various capitalists and luxury brand managers, trying to get some resources from them.

And these film and television company bosses and luxury brand managers, one by one, enjoyed the smiles and flattery of the glamorous stars on the stage.

What's more, some second- and third-rate actors actually hooked up with the well-dressed investors.

Liu Yifei saw an actress who looked familiar, but whose name she couldn't remember, whispering with a senior executive of Chengtian Entertainment, and exchanging contact information. It was obvious that they planned to make an appointment after the show.

This scene completely destroyed her impression of the word "charity".

So much so that she was not interested in the final auction, and she just called out a bid and bought a Tissot women's watch for 300,000.

This brand has been contacting her recently, wanting to sign her as the spokesperson for Greater China, so Liu Yifei raised her card once to show her goodwill. As a result, no one in the audience competed with her, and even the person arranged by Tissot did not bid, so she successfully won the watch.

Knowing that with Wu Yuan's face in front, no one would compete for the auction item no matter what she bid, Liu Yifei also lost the intention to bid. Donating 300,000 yuan would be enough, which is more than her salary for filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

In the end, this Bazaar Charity Night, which was more about show than charity, ended, and a total of more than 7.53 million yuan was raised, all of which were donated to the "Charity Orphan Project" under the name of the China Charity Federation.

And set up a special fund for the "Bazaar Computer Dream Classroom", and established a large number of loving computer classrooms with complete facilities in the Charity Children's Welfare Institute across the country.

This is also the only thing that makes Liu Yifei feel relieved. At least the real money has been raised, so let's just show it.

But she didn't expect that at the end of the charity night, there would be something fishy in the group photo session.

In the last group photo session, the four actresses and the two ice stars actually quarreled.

The two ice stars stood together with Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi and others, and were supposed to take a group photo together.

As a result, Zhao Junqi suddenly appeared and pulled Xiao Ming's hand to get in, and also separated Fan Xiaopang, causing Li Binbin, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Junqi, and Huang Xiaoming to stand in a row, and deliberately squeezed Fan Xiaopang to the side, not playing with her.

Liu Yifei didn't want to get involved in this internal quarrel between the four actresses and the two ice stars, but Zhang Ziyi was quick-witted and caught Liu Yifei who wanted to slip to the edge, and stuffed her in the middle of the four actresses and the two ice stars, and took a group photo with the stars.

After the event, as soon as she returned to her home in Xishan Villa, Liu Yifei couldn't help but complain, and complained to Wu Yuan about what happened tonight.

"So, are you going to go next time?" Wu Yuan, who was perfecting the script of "A Man Called Li Wen Decides to Die", teased without looking up.

Liu Yifei hesitated, "This... Although there are some show elements, and the participating stars always love to quarrel, but it is indeed a real charity. If you have time, you can still go."

Anyway, those quarrels, the open and secret struggles and small tricks during the group photos will not affect her.

"Oh?" Wu Yuan was a little surprised and looked up at her.

Yes, Liu Yifei should not encounter the birthday peach dress incident and the Bazaar Charity Night star melee incident again in this life.

With Wu Yuan's support, who dares to neglect Liu Yifei at such an event, let alone compete with her for the C position.

Besides, she is not the kind of person who likes to compete for the C position. Every time she is calm and indifferent, she really goes to Bazaar just to take pictures of charity products and leave after taking them.

"Okay, go if you want to." Wu Yuan shrugged, "If I'm really free in the future, I'll go with you to see it."

He was quite interested in the fight between female stars, just watching it for fun.

"Xixi, come and take a look at the script of my new movie." Wu Yuan waved his hand, took Liu Yifei into his arms, and held her to indicate that she should look at the computer screen.

"The script of "A Man Called Li Wen Decides to Die" has been polished almost."

"You can consider inviting actors and preparing for the crew."

"If you don't decide on the actors now, you may not be able to coordinate the schedule."

It is already a more urgent matter to invite actors and schedule six months in advance. In recent years, the work of mainland actors has become increasingly busy, with more and more job opportunities. Some popular actors have their schedules scheduled until next year.

Although this movie should not find any top-tier actors, it is necessary to prepare early.

Liu Yifei had read the script several times before, and the version finalized by Wu Yuan this time was different from the previous ones in some minor plots.

After a quick scan, she said in a depressed tone, "Brother, there is no role suitable for me in this movie."

In "Gravity", she played a cameo as an astronaut who died after appearing on screen for a few minutes.

But in this movie, the main characters are only a 60-year-old male protagonist Owen and a few neighbors.

The neighbors are either married middle-aged couples or their children aged seven or eight or ten. There are no young people in their 20s at all.

"Why is it gone?" But Wu Yuan didn't think so. He pointed to the role of "Li Wen's wife" in the script and said with a smile: "This role is suitable for you."

"Li Wen's wife has a cheerful personality and brings sunshine and hope of life to the shy and introverted him."

"And she has always appeared in the form of memories in the movie. Li Wen often recalls the process of meeting and knowing his wife."

"And his wife was paralyzed due to a bus accident during a trip, and the fetus in her belly was miscarried, and eventually died of cancer."

"Although this role has few scenes, the entire memory plot only adds up to ten minutes, but the role is very important, and the character changes a lot before and after."

"From a sunny and cheerful girl to a paralyzed and unhappy young woman at home, the character is three-dimensional and full."

"Just suitable for you to try."

Hearing Wu Yuan say this, Liu Yifei hesitated instead.

Although the role of Li Wen's wife is not much, every scene is very important. It can be said that she is the person who influenced Li Wen's life. Her every move is related to the development of Li Wen's character.

This important role is also an important role in an art film. Liu Yifei is also a little worried that she will not play well.

"Brother, I'm afraid that I can't play well and delay your play." Liu Yifei said with a worried look.

She knew that Wu Yuan planned to use this movie to impact the Venice Film Festival. If she made the movie lose some of its luster, she would be a big sinner.

"If you act well, how can you not act well?" Wu Yuan disagreed and encouraged confidently.

He really wanted to train Liu Yifei's acting skills.

In fact, her acting skills were not very bad, at least compared with the top 85 flowers, she was not bad. The crying scenes had a sense of fragmentation, the literary scenes were also okay, and the fighting scenes were neat and powerful.

She was mainly bad in that she had no breath of life and her life experience was too poor. She couldn't play some deep or emotionally rich and changeable characters with rough experiences.

But this defect is not irreparable. For example, her love affair with Wu Yuan has added a lot of experience to Liu Yifei's emotional scenes.

When she was acting in "Those Years", she applied a lot of her emotional experiences with Wu Yuan to play Shen Jiayi, which immediately made her acting skills look much more exquisite.

Of course, Wu Yuan did not want her to be paralyzed for real to feel what it feels like to be paralyzed.

"Xixi, don't be afraid of the difficulty of acting. You can learn more from Teacher Wu Yanshu." Wu Yuan guided carefully: "Look at Teacher Wu Yanshu, she played a paralyzed old man in "Love", didn't she play it vividly?"

"Let Teacher Wu Yanshu teach you. Under her words and deeds, I believe you can perform the feeling."

At the very least, Wu Yuan is experienced this time. With the experience of shooting the heroine in "Love", he has a lot of experience to shoot a paralyzed character. He can personally train Liu Yifei and teach her how to act.

In "A Man Called Li Wen Decides to Die", the wife's paralysis scene is rare, and it only adds up to a few minutes, unlike in "Love" where the wife is paralyzed for most of the plot.

The role that Liu Yifei wants to play is more about presenting the image of a sunny and cheerful beauty, using her sunny and cheerful side to lead the shy Li Wen to learn to integrate into life and the collective.

It was also because of her death that Li Wen gradually became withdrawn and eccentric again, because the bright girl who once guided him and took him to integrate into this world was gone, and his outstretched feet retracted again, isolating himself from the world again.

Until a new pair of neighbors moved in next door, who were as enthusiastic and cheerful as his wife, he tried to get out of his closed heart again and integrate into this loving world in the "trouble" again and again.

So compared to paralysis, "sunny and cheerful beauty" is the most important, and Liu Yifei is much easier to play in this aspect.

She herself has a hot personality on the outside and cold on the inside. As long as she shows her hot side on the outside, she can control this role well.

Wu Yuan comprehensively analyzed the inside story of these roles to Liu Yifei, which also gave her a lot of confidence.

"It sounds like I can really handle it." Liu Yifei said uncertainly: "Then I'll give it a try?"

"I have a good relationship with Teacher Wu Yanshu, and I will invite her to drink tea and go shopping together!"

"She will definitely be willing to teach me how to act!"

"Yeah." Wu Yuan smiled with satisfaction and gently stroked the back of her head: "Xixi, be more confident in yourself. You are only 20 years old. It's not bad to have such acting skills at the age of 20."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Her lack of confidence was not caused by Wu Yuan.

What kind of actresses have worked with Wu Yuan?

Gong Li, who has won many Best Actress awards at home and abroad after being trained by Zhang Yimou.

Teacher Wu Yanshu, who has performed in dramas for decades, is an old actor among old actors.

At the very least, it is Zhou Xun, who was praised for her spirituality in the circle when she debuted, and also has a bunch of Best Actress awards in hand, and has collected all three domestic golds.

With so many Yuzhu in front of her, how could Liu Yifei not feel a lot of pressure? How could she not doubt every day that her acting skills were not up to Wu Yuan's level?

That is to say, she was fearless at the time, and she wanted to get closer to Wu Yuan, so she fearlessly accepted "Your Name".

Now thinking about it, I feel that I was really brave back then, daring to play the heroine of Wu Yuan at the age of 16.

After praising herself in her heart, Liu Yifei asked with interest: "Brother, who are you going to ask to play Li Wen?"

"Li Wen?" Wu Yuan pondered.

"The range of choices is not large."
