"Where is Yu Bao? You are not an art major, right?"
"I'm not, but I studied calligraphy with my grandpa since I was a child, and I was also exposed to art for a while -"
"No wonder."
Hongcun, in front of Yuennum.
This section of the road has been closed and will be closed for the entire afternoon. Xia Yu and the other three were chatting and sketching.
Pretty decent.
…
In the morning, Xia Yu and the others had already walked around Hongcun, looking at some famous buildings and their locations.
How to describe Hongcun in their eyes?
Hongcun is not the kind of beauty that is particularly colorful. It does not have the color of faith like XZ, nor the magnificence of the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia, nor is it full of exotic customs like oil paintings like the ancient cities in southern Xinjiang.
But Hongcun in the early morning, with its curls of smoke, is so beautiful that it is beyond comparison. It is a kind of artistic beauty, just like an ink painting, which cannot be solidified or described in words!
As a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, Huizhou architecture is one of the top pinnacles of oriental aesthetics in China!
This is Hongcun.
In Nanhu, we walked around Nanhu Academy and completed our morning tasks. The rest was to rely on the aerial photography machine arranged by the program team and specific shooting angles to capture the beautiful scenery of this ancient town.
That’s when the “sketching” work for this issue began.
After picking a few spots, I finally settled on Moon Marsh, set up a parasol, and continued shooting.
Yu Junhao is a solid art student, Xia Yu is a "cook" who became a monk halfway, and Lu Lingyu is a complete novice.
She also studied calligraphy for a while, but she couldn't resist it anymore and started playing mahjong instead, and never picked it up again.
If you haven't learned calligraphy well, let alone art.
The "task" of this issue is to let Yu Junhao teach Xia Yu and Lu Lingyu how to draw.
At the same time, Yu Junhao also contracted the "tour guide" work for this period.
When the chat started, he said, "My hometown is not far from Hongcun. When I was in high school, I often took advantage of the holidays to visit here..."
When he said these words, his eyes were full of nostalgia. In the camera, everyone seemed to be able to see those green years in his eyes - whether he had background, experience, and sense of drama.
Actor comparison!
Therefore, when it comes to the allusions, origins, architecture, and aesthetics, he can pick them up at his fingertips without any pressure.
Although we have already met each other, for the sake of the program effect, we still have to talk about how we met.
Lu Lingyu and both of them met at the China International Film Festival, but we didn’t talk much!
She cast her gaze on the two of them, "Did you meet while filming "The Cure"?"
The two looked at each other, and Yu Junhao shook his head and said with a smile, "I have met a few times before this..."
"Is it in the year when Yu Bao won the award?" Lu Lingyu didn't think about it at first, until Yu Junhao calmly patted the Camus logo on his body with his hand, Lu Lingyu suddenly realized it and said with a smile, "I even forgot that one of you is Camus.
One of the global spokespersons is the spokesperson for China... Let me guess, we met at the Camus store before the Academy Awards?"
Regarding the Academy Awards, Lu Lingyu paid close attention to Xia Yu and Yu Junhao. She also paid special attention to them this year. She even looked back at their experiences - and found one thing. Anyway, there was editing in the later stage, and the directors of Camus
Regarding the long-term relationship with Director Zhuang, Lu Lingyu didn’t feel that there were some things she couldn’t say, so she said, “Yu Bao probably hadn’t officially signed the contract before that Academy Awards?”
"Yes, after winning the award and signing a contract, I have been promoted to a higher level!"
The topic ended here, but Xia Yu still said cautiously, "Try not to cut this part later."
Tell the camera, tell the director.
Then there are some questions.
“Is Hongcun considered Jiangnan?”
"Of course!"
After all, this episode of Hongcun's filming was not as exciting and "interesting" as the previous episodes!
This issue gives everyone the feeling that following Xia Yu and the others' work, they have entered a "painting land!"
It's plain and makes people fall into it unconsciously. By the time you react, you have been completely attracted by Jiangnan Water Town and the very different temperaments of these three people, but they are also integrated with the water town!
The first day passed quickly.
When the sun sets.
With the help of Yu Junhao, Lu Lingyu finally completed her first oil painting in her life!
The painting is not particularly good. This is judged from the eyes of professionals and non-professionals with professional eyes.
But there is no doubt that it is beautiful and good-looking. It is the inspiration "Beauty!" that Lu Lingyu has nurtured in her decades of artistic career.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Lu Lingyu were to put this painting up for auction, movie fans would definitely pay a high price for it or rush to take it.
It’s beautiful, but of course I can’t say it’s particularly beautiful. I can only say that it has extraordinary commemorative value for movie fans!
Both Xia Yu and Yu Junhao both praised, "Sister Yu is able to paint like this for the first time in oil painting. She is very talented!"
Lu Lingyu looked at this painting and felt satisfied from the inside out.
She smiled.
"I thought that besides acting, only music and mahjong could bring me a new sense of accomplishment. Now it seems that painting is also very good."
Yu Junhao nodded and said, "If Sister Yu is interested, I can help introduce you to some reliable art studios for study!"
Everyone was in the imperial capital, so I didn’t say anything unnecessary.
Lu Lingyu looked at Xia Yu before smiling and saying, "Okay!"
Xia Yu, on the other hand, used pure ink and painted an ink painting with the same angle as Lu Lingyu...
Seeing this painting, not to mention Lu Lingyu, even Yu Junhao was extremely emotional——
"What else can Yu Bao not know?"
Xia Yu also responded seriously, "That's a lot."
She was quite modest and said with a smile, "I know a lot, but I'm not particularly proficient!"
"Doesn't acting count?"
"There is still room for improvement. Compared with Sister Yu and the others, they are still far behind!"
The conversation between the two was quite normal, but Lu Lingyu seemed to be straightforward, but she had eaten more than them for decades - looking at the two of them from a place where the camera could not capture, there was an unknown secret in the corner of her mouth,
A meaningful smile!
If this smile is magnified and seen by some fans, they will definitely gasp, "Are you sure this is not the smile of my aunt when I was taking CP?"
Lu Lingyu also saw that Xia Yu had no such thoughts, but who knew what would happen in the future?
These two people are quite a match...
Young, so good——
The itinerary to the two ancient towns of Hongcun and Xidi is definitely not as dull as the previous ones, but the program team still arranged a lot of activities.
In addition to sketching, there is also tea tasting and looking for some old stories!
After staying in Hongcun for three days, we went to Xidi Ancient Town, which is 20 kilometers away.
[If Hongcun is like a Jiangnan ink painting, then Xidi must be an old book describing the ancient scenery of Jiangnan!]
The same architectural style, but two different waterside qualities!
There are more activities in Xidi than in Hongcun.
Although it is not a porcelain capital, I still found a small workshop specializing in ceramics!
In the remaining three days, the group sketched, made clay sculptures, and baked porcelain - it didn't look exciting enough, but it still made people feel spiritually satisfied. In six days, Lu Lingyu's painting skills skyrocketed.
But she said, "My favorite is still the first painting. I think I should frame it when I go back!"
The only regret about our trip to Hongcun Xidi is that the weather was so nice.
I looked at the weather forecast and it said it would rain, but I had to wait three days.
It rained, it came down, it rained until midnight, and it stopped in the morning.
Everyone sighed.
"pity!"
Finally, by the sixth day of this trip, I had already packed my luggage, got in the car, and prepared to take pictures of the daily life of Huangshan on the last day.
Make up for the regrets.
Unexpectedly, I received a call.
“It’s raining in Hongcun!”
The program crew hurried back again——
On the last day, I finally finished collecting seven landscape paintings of Hongcun at different times and weather in summer.
At the same time, the program team of "Nice to Meet You" has finally come to an end.
Still in the same inn, still drinking tea in the same place, antique, like the balcony in the corner of a theater.
Drinking tea, listening to the rain...
Lu Lingyu sighed while drinking tea, with a smile on her face and a long-lost reluctance in her eyes.
She couldn't remember which movie the last time she felt that feeling of reluctance and sympathy appeared after the filming.
"...I didn't expect that it's already been two months!"
"Yeah." Xia Yu's mind seemed to be filled with memories from their first episode.
Then he asked, "This issue is over. What are your plans, Sister Yu? Is there anything you want to do?"
Perfection, this is probably what fans of Lu Lingyu want to know.
Lu Lingyu shook her head, "I've been too tired these past two months. I might need to take a good rest."
"What do you want to do?" She pondered for a moment, "Probably study art seriously?"
Then he smiled and said, "Jun Hao, don't forget to ask me to recommend a reliable studio when the time comes."
Yu Junhao was still painting. When he heard this, he turned around and chuckled, "Of course, Sister Yu, feel free to contact me."
Xia Yu and Lu Lingyu both have a tacit understanding on this topic, and they will stop at the last minute——
Xia Yu didn't dare to ask, 'Does Sister Yu want to come back and make movies again?'
Lu Lingyu would probably kick her because Lu Lingyu had already raised this issue countless times.
"Won't!"
"Where's Yu Bao?" Lu Lingyu twisted her neck with her hands. She usually sat at the mahjong table and was a bow-headed person, which made her neck suffer. At the beginning of this period of travel, she was quite uncomfortable.
But slowly, as Xu exercised more, the minor problem in her neck was cured.
"The Venice Film Festival is about to start. What's the flight date? Do you want to attend the opening ceremony?"
In mid-August, the shortlist for the 72nd Venice Film Festival came out.
"Trafficking Crime" is undoubtedly shortlisted!
Although the main competition list has not been announced yet, as soon as the news came out, it instantly ignited Weibo hot searches!
[Xia Yu was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival after Berlin and Cannes Film Festival!]
You know, apart from Lu Lingyu, Wei Fei was only shortlisted for two film festivals.
In addition, Xia Yu and Lu Lingyu are recording a variety show, which is really popular.
The members of this year’s judging panel were also announced in late July.
The international director Cuarón serves as the chairman of the jury - his status is in the top three, so he is naturally inferior to Zhuang and others, but he only won the first Oscar for Best Director the year before last!
Nowadays, the reputation is really not low.
The remaining eight jury members are also top directors and actors from all over the world.
There were several movies and actors that were also shortlisted, which put a lot of pressure on Xia Yu and Dai Chengbi.
But regarding the Venice Film Festival, the question of whether to go to the opening ceremony is because it took two months to record. Xia Yu said, "I may not be able to attend the opening ceremony. I have been busy recording for two months, and I plan to take a break."
.”
Lu Lingyu nodded.
'Indeed, the opening ceremony of the film festival is just that, it all depends on the works, and the red carpet is just the icing on the cake!'
Turning to look at Yu Junhao, "Where is Junhao?"
After a few days of getting along, this young junior was not as close to him as Xia Yu.
One is that the relationship is different, and the other is that men and women are different. Even if their age is different, she treats Yu Junhao as a junior. They are both her sons and daughters. But the paparazzi in the entertainment industry, especially those in Xiangjiang, get
I can tell you that I am dead, and I can tell you that there is no possibility of turning over!
He nodded and said, "Some time ago, I had some health problems. I will be recovering for a while and will go back in September... to finish filming the remaining content."
Lu Lingyu estimated the time and was surprised, "This movie was also originally planned to compete in the Venice Film Festival?"
"Not really, the original filming of the scene will probably have to wait until the end of July -"
After all, it's not just him. Although his role is relatively large, there are other people filming.
In addition to the editing review, it still has to be postponed to mid-September. This is assuming everything goes smoothly!
"The first two next year?"
Yu Junhao nodded——
Lu Lingyu's eyes finally returned to Xia Yu, "Do you have any ideas for the next movie?"
When asked this question, Yu Junhao, who was still polishing his drawings and planning to use his last night to draw another one, stopped and looked over.
Xia Yu shook his head and smiled, "Sister Yu hasn't even watched this movie yet, so she's thinking about the next one? How can it be so fast!"
"In our time, it would have been normal to have one movie every three months for those who were eligible for prizes, and one movie a month for those who were not eligible for prizes."
This is also the reason why I wanted to be able to discover it so quickly. Although the works are good and bad, due to the accumulation of quantity, there are also good quality... In that era, there were literally thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge. If you didn't stand out, you would be buried!
There are so many talents, even if there are works behind them, but if they don't continue to break out, they will soon be thrown out by new excellent movies.
Movies nowadays are more demanding.
In addition, the actors are not as dedicated as before, and they cannot bear the hardship. A movie that could be shot in three months has been delayed to half a year. The most important thing is that the quality is lacking——
Except for a few that can maintain quality, most of them are not loved by mainstream audiences. They are trapped in the vicious cycle of the film and television winter.
However, Lu Lingyu asked, and Xia Yu also wanted to contact the media to promote it. Although her future development focus will not be in China for the time being.
