It was Jiang Se's first time attending a movie premiere. When Gu Jiaer saw Jiang Se coming, he seemed quite happy, perhaps because Jiang Se had helped her before. As colleagues from major news media came in, he even mentioned Jiang Se specifically.
As an intern reporter in the media industry, Tao Tao was also invited to attend the premiere along with her predecessors.
When she saw Jiang Se appear, she could no longer contain her excitement.
Unfortunately, although Jiang Se also followed Gu Jiaer onto the stage, she didn't say much. Most of the time, she just listened quietly to other people in the crew. When the media occasionally interviewed her, her answers were also very brief.
No news could be obtained from her mouth, and soon everyone's attention shifted away from her.
Tao Tao felt a little disappointed. Unfortunately, today's interview was led by her seniors, so it was not her turn to ask questions.
After the leading actor finished his interactive interview with the media, Gu Jiaer said a few more words and then started the movie playing session.
The surrounding lights dimmed, and the movie began with a bustling city night scene. Cars sped along the road at an intentionally accelerated speed, suggesting the pace of modern people's lives.
The cell phone rang, and as the ringing sounded, the camera switched to a small study room. The protagonist Zhou Rongchen was still working with his head bent, his eyes fixed on the computer.
The phone rang for a long time before he reached out to touch it, but before he could answer it, the person on the other end of the line hung up.
He seemed to be relieved, threw the phone back to its place, and once again focused on his work.
Such a simple plot immediately highlights the protagonist's general character. He loves his work and is somewhat overly indifferent to external things.
At this time, the camera gave a close-up of the mobile phone, which showed the name of the person who missed the call: Yang Yun, and also made the audience notice that the time was after 9:30 in the evening.
After a long time, there was a sound of a key opening the door. The door opened, and a girl in a red dress pushed the door open with flowers in one hand and a bag in the other, silently lowering her head to change her shoes.
Jiang Se watched Dai Jia perform this scene at the film and television base.
To be honest, the actress who played Gu Jiaer's ex-girlfriend Zhou Rongchen was good-looking, but in terms of figure and acting skills, Dai Jia was much better than her. Unfortunately, Dai Jia was forcibly replaced in the end because she offended Zhao Ruoyun and Yao Xiang.
"I'm back."
She lowered her head and said something, but Zhou Rongchen, played by Hang Yuyi, did not raise his head, his eyes still on the computer. She could not help but raise her voice and said again:
"I said I'm back."
"Yeah." This time Zhou Rongchen responded, but still didn't turn his head.
"Zhou Rongchen, I said I'm back!"
She immediately called out the hero's name. This detail arrangement was not cumbersome and also omitted the clichéd plot in many movies where the hero introduces himself in the form of narration, which made many media people at the scene nod their heads.
"Duke from the company gave me a bouquet of roses." When she said this, she turned her head to look at Zhou Rongchen's back, with a look of despair in her eyes.
"Who is Duke?"
"Duke is the new HR director of my company. I told you that he has been pursuing me for a long time." Her words did not cause Zhou Rongchen to react, and he could not help but smile bitterly:
"An hour ago, Duke told me that he had applied to the company for an opportunity for me to go abroad to lead a new project, and I agreed."
Zhou Rongchen stopped what he was doing and turned his head:
"When are we leaving?"
His words completely angered Yang Yun, and she suddenly laughed:
"Zhou Rongchen, we have been together for six years. I can't stand living like this for six years. I can't spend the next few decades with you. Maybe we should break up."
After she said this, she went straight into the room to pack her luggage.
This plot directly introduces Zhou Rongchen, a man about 27 or 28 years old, a workaholic with a cold and dull personality, not good at showing affection and stingy in caring about his girlfriend. He just broke up with his girlfriend and is an older young man who is being urged to get married by his parents.
Just as everyone had learned about Zhou Rongchen's general situation, the camera switched from the dim night to the daytime, and switched to the heroine Wang Qianqian, played by Zhao Ruoyun.
The problems she faces are different from those faced by Zhou Rongchen. Gu Jiaer shows her romantic character that is unwilling to be restrained through her conversation with her mother.
Wang Qianqian's personality is more in line with a girl of the new era. Her ideas are different from her mother's. She refuses to entrust her life to a man or to marriage, and she does not think that the value of a woman lies only in having a marriage certificate, a family and children.
She quit her job, secretly bought a ticket to Paris, and boarded the same flight to Paris as the male protagonist.
Seeing this, Tao Tao in the theater could no longer bear it.
Gu Jiaer is indeed a veteran who is good at shooting romantic literary films, but as the plot progresses to this point, compared to the interaction between the male and female protagonists, it is very much in line with Gu Jiaer's usual style characteristics, the plot is explained very clearly, the plot is smooth and there is nothing embarrassing.
The performances of the male and female protagonists are remarkable, Hang Yuyi is good-looking, and Zhao Ruoyun is also cute, and their characters are very consistent.
So far, the story in the drama has not collapsed, but that's all.
Gu Jiaer's shadow can be seen everywhere in "What to False Becomes True". The movie is really good, and Gu Jiaer's ability to grasp the plot can be seen from the subtle details.
But precisely because he has made too many films of this type, although he is very good at this type of film, there is nothing new about it.
Tao Tao could almost guess the following plot, it was nothing more than the hero and heroine meeting, getting to know each other and falling in love. She was looking forward to the scenes where Jiang Se would appear.
The movie has been going on for more than twenty minutes, but Jiang Se has yet to appear.
Although the filming time of "Fake It or Not" should be exactly when Jiang Se just debuted, she had no agency at that time and was a newcomer, so it was impossible for her to occupy a large part in Gu Jiaer's film, but Tao Tao still looked forward to the scenes of her performance.
The next moment she was still wondering how many minutes it would take for Jiang Se to appear, but she didn't expect that as soon as the male and female protagonists got on the plane, Jiang Se, wearing a stewardess uniform, appeared in the camera.
Tao Tao immediately became interested!
If you think about it carefully, this is the only role in which Jiang Se actually shows his face among all the movies that have been released so far.
Although Zhao Rang captured her elegant back in "The 99th Love Letter", he cruelly did not capture her face, leaving the audience with a suspense, which gave rise to endless reverie just by looking at her back. (To be continued)
