Chapter 357 Zhou Xingxing's future is him

Great.

That's great.

Shen Lang's version really captures human nature.

It's not just the part about Zhang Min.

Rather, the entire clip brings life to life.

Before walking out of the ruined temple, Su Can was still the child who needed protection.

But the moment he stepped out of the dilapidated temple, he realized how cold and indifferent the world was.

"I'd rather feed it to a dog than to a beggar!"

Before he could finish his words, the little girl quickly took the candied haws and ran away.

His father would always smile and tell him how easy it was to be a beggar, as if he could get so many steamed buns and meals for free without any work.

It turned out that all these were lies to him. Being a beggar meant enduring the biting cold, hunger, and being looked down upon and scorned by others.

On the street, when he was at his wit's end, he met Rushuang's sister.

The other party wanted to recognize him, but he refused to recognize Rushuang no matter what.

Su Can used a poor disguise to pretend that he was just an unknown beggar.

His true colors were clearly revealed, but he still pretended not to know him.

Even Su Can was servile and submissive to her, completely different from his former arrogant and domineering self.

But what really touched everyone was... he still took the frost-like buns and broken charcoal.

He doesn't need to save face, but he wants to keep the last bit of it.

That is……………………

dignity!

Even if I lose everything for you, I don't want your pity.

The high-spirited Su Can died, turned around...

Now there is only Su Qier facing the biting cold wind, with tears in his eyes.

……

At this time, Zhou Xingxing thought of another version of Wang Jingjing.

The downtrodden champion was in a state of despair, and met his sweetheart while begging
However, his sweetheart fed him dog food and scolded him for being useless.

In the end, Su Can regained his spirits...

Comparing the two, is there any need to say which one is better?
No, when he looked up again, the eyes of everyone present had already told him the answer.

He couldn't help but hold Shen Lang's hand, choking up and saying, "Teacher Shen, I finally know what I have been pursuing for so many years."

Shen Lang asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

"My past is just like Su Can's. My past vigor and vitality made me lose my direction."

"But after so many things happened and I turned around, I realized that you are my Rushuang!"

……

At this moment, thunderous applause suddenly broke out at the scene, and everyone looked at Shen Lang with admiration.

Especially Zhang Min, she has taken on many movie roles in recent years because of Xiang Huasheng.

But his acting skills never made any breakthrough.

Once referred to as the "Hong Kong vase"!
But just now, she seemed to have touched upon something in her acting skills.

Zhang Min came to Shen Lang and said with tears in his eyes: "Teacher Shen, your script is really great. I feel like after acting for so many years, it was as if something sprouted in my heart at that moment."

Shen Lang said seriously: "Ms. Zhang, your acting skills just now impressed me!"

The scene fell silent, waiting for Shen Lang's next words.

Shen Lang did not flatter deliberately, but said sincerely: "When you and Su Can recognized each other, the faint pity in your eyes really made me feel upset after seeing it!"

"Also, you always kept your eyes on the timid Su Can, carefully protecting his last bit of dignity."

"This kind of performance is exactly what I wanted to achieve in the script. I have to say, you are really a good actor!"

After Shen Lang finished speaking, Zhang Min's eyes suddenly turned red. Being praised by Shen Lang was the happiest thing for her in these years.

why?
Because when you praise someone, you have to praise the right thing.

Many people say that Zhang Min is beautiful.

Said she was good at acting.

Whether you are beautiful or not is a gift from your parents, and I, Zhang Min, know that.

But good acting skills are an affirmation of my life value.

But when it comes to this, those people can't continue. What's so good about good acting?

This kind of praise is often like scratching an itch through a shoe, which makes people feel dissatisfied.

But Shen Lang’s praise was different.

What he said was exactly what he wanted to express just now.

In the previous paragraph, she really put her own emotions into it.

The pity, regret and sadness were her truest reflections after reading the script and combining them with her own life experiences.

Shen Lang is truly a genius.

In the past, the whole of Hong Kong Island said that he was a good actor.

When Zhou Xingxing found her this time, he said that Shen Lang was still a good screenwriter.

She didn't quite believe it then, but now she does.

It turns out that a good screenwriter can write a play into everyone's heart.

"Teacher Shen, you know what? The feeling your script gave me is... it makes me empathize with the feelings of the characters in the movie!"

"That's right!"

"Yeah, I think so too!"

"To be honest, when I saw Su Qi'er crying in the snow with his back turned, holding broken charcoal, I thought of my ex-girlfriend!"

"Your ex-girlfriend? What happened? Tell me!"

"My ex-girlfriend's family didn't agree with us being together. When she broke up, we were both very sad. I forced myself to say goodbye to her, but the moment I turned around, I couldn't control my tears and started to flow!"

"There is only one story in the movie, but each of us can see our own shadow in it. This is what makes Shen Lang's script so powerful!"

........................

Looking at Shen Lang surrounded by everyone, Wang Jingjing felt mixed emotions.

So this is the real gap between me and an Oscar-level screenwriter?

Although he is the director who has made the most films in Hong Kong film history, and although he himself created the God of Gamblers series and the Chasing Girls series, he has also achieved box office success in the past.

But in recent years, his own works have been on a downward trend, especially after the end of "The Deer and the Cauldron" series in which he collaborated with Stephen Chow, there has not been any outstanding works in these years.

At this moment, he was suddenly thinking about a question.

How did you achieve success back then?
The film market is developing. Back then, everyone was just busy shooting, shooting, shooting, thinking that as long as they made a movie, the audience would pay for it.

Don't worry about the quality, and there's no need to polish the script in detail.

Even plagiarism is commonplace.

The plots of the movies are all the same, and no one cares whether the scripts should be polished carefully.

Wang Jingjing's heart was suddenly touched by the scene before her.

In this era, the audience's tastes are gradually improving.

If I continue to use the old methods to make new films, I will sooner or later become an "outdated" director.

He finally understood why Stephen Chow had always wanted to get rid of him and some Hong Kong screenwriters in an attempt to find a new path.

And the new road………………

His eyes turned to Shen Lang.

It turns out that Zhou Xingxing’s future is... him!
