This time, Shu Pain did not take the wrong road again, but successfully found the theater where "The Accident" was broadcast according to the map.
When Shu Payne came over, the movie was just about to start. This screening room was slightly larger than the previous screening room for "Devils", and could accommodate nearly a hundred people. It was already about 70% to 80% full.
This should be related to Tao Cen's recent rise to fame in Europe and the United States. She took on the role in "The Lost City" directed by the great Italian director Cesare. European media once affectionately called her the "Chinese beauty".
For this reason, in addition to the majority of Asian faces in the theater, there were also some European and American media professionals and several familiar-looking foreign film critics. They must have come for the cooperation between Tao Cen and Cesare. Several of the film critics were very familiar with Shu Peien.
Because the movie was about to start, they didn't have time to say hello to each other. Shu Payen nodded to his acquaintance, and when he sat down, he thought of the sparse audience in the "Devil" theater and sighed.
Such an excellent film was not as popular as "The Accident" during its first round of broadcasts due to the lack of international fame of its actors and director.
As Shu Payen expected, "The Accident" is also very good. The story begins with the heroine Liu Xi, played by Tao Cen, accidentally wanting to do a good thing, but causing serious consequences and ruining a child's life.
The story has Ning Zhanping's strong personal style, the narrative is extremely stable, and Tao Cen's acting skills are also unquestionable. He interprets the heroine who means well but does bad things perfectly.
When Liu Xi, played by Tao Cen in the movie, learned that the little boy would have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life because of her, she burst into tears.
Tao Cen's crying scene is naturally extremely brilliant and on point, but in Shu Payen's heart, he always compares her with Zhang Yuqin, played by Jiang Se.
In "The Devil", Zhang Yuqin did not shed a single tear from beginning to end. Whether it was before she learned that her daughter was missing or when she confirmed that her daughter's body had been found, she was restrained and forbearing.
But that feeling of sadness lingered from the beginning to the end of the movie, and that atmosphere of despair far outweighed the tears of Liu Xi, played by Tao Cen.
Tao Cen's acting was good, but it failed to resonate with Shu Peien. In his mind, the scene at the end of "Devil" even emerged, when Zhang Yuqin looked at the strange girl and said the line:
"I still have a child, he's just not with me."
For some reason, Zhang Yuqin's smiling expression at that time was even more touching.
The movie hasn't even finished yet, but he's already distracted.
At this time in China, Long Xing Studio has issued a striking news headline:
At the French Film Festival, Shupein predicted that "Demons" would beat "The Accident" and win the trophy!
Under the news title, it was written what Tao Tao and Su Min saw and heard at the French Film Festival.
This news item detailed Shu Payen's praise for "The Devil", affirmed the acting skills of Jiang Se and Liu Ye in the film, and also mentioned Shu Payen's praise for "The Devil".
The news quoted an eye-catching headline, which quickly attracted the attention of domestic audiences. Fans of Jiang Se and Liu Ye were naturally looking forward to it, but it also angered Tao Cen's fans.
Tao Cen has been famous in China for many years, and his fame and status are not comparable to those of ordinary stars. When this news came out, many of Tao Cen's fans were naturally unwilling to see their idol being trampled underfoot.
A large number of netizens flocked to the media website of Longxing Studio to comment. For a time, there was endless online scolding. The incident was so serious that the war eventually ignited Century Galaxy. Some netizens remembered that Tao Cen and Jiang Se originally shared the same agent Xia Chaoqun, but in the end Xia Chaoqun abandoned Tao Cen and chose Jiang Se.
Xia Chaoqun's choice at the time had already caused dissatisfaction among some of Tao Cen's fans. Now there is news like this, which has the intention of overtly and covertly stepping on Tao Cen's new movie and praising Jiang Se. Naturally, Tao Cen's fans cannot forgive this.
On the news website under Long Xing Studio, netizens had different reactions to this news:
The Fairy Patrolling the Mountain: Jiang Se debuted not long ago. Although he has some works and has acted in several movies with good box office performance, he is still a long way from Tao Cen. This news report said that Shu Peien praised his acting skills, even surpassing Tao Cen's "The Accident". Is this a bit too much? Tao Cen's acting skills are obvious to all, and Jiang Se's performance in movies is also there, but after all, he is young, and there is definitely a distance between him and Tao Cen.
Apart from other things, the combined box office revenue of the two films, as well as the profits created by endorsements and Century Galaxy, can be used to compare the status of the two. Not to mention the resources between the two actresses, Tao Cen is now favored by the internationally renowned director Cesare and has experience in cooperating with major European and American productions, how can Jiang Se compare
If what was pointed out in the news, that Shu Peien thought Jiang Se and Liu Ye could win an award for "Devil", is true, then I can only think that Shu Peien is old and blind, and no longer worthy of being a fair and impartial film critic.
The netizen named "Patrol Mountain Fairy" spoke in an impulsive tone and was obviously filled with anger about the news.
Under his comments, many netizens supported his point of view and thought he was right. Some even left a message saying: I think it is very likely that Jiang Se bribed the media to write this news at random.
The Third Young Master of the Su Family: As we all know, Century Galaxy's Tao Cen is the most profitable star, there is no doubt about this, her acting skills are all proven by data. Her degree of choosing scripts is clear to her fans over the years, not to mention that the director she is working with this time is Ning Zhanping, a strong confrontation, it is impossible for her to be too bad.
Tao Cen's fans are all waiting for the release of "The Accident", in which she is the sole leading actor. The French Film Festival really owes her a trophy. This year's good time, fans have been looking forward to it for many years, but in the end they got such news.
If the news is true, then I can only say that Shupein's speech was unfair. If the news is false, I can only curse today's journalists, who will do anything to attract attention.
Tao Cen's Fan Club: @Su Family Third Young Master Su San, this is very likely true. Do you remember that Shu Peien has rarely published movie reviews in recent years? But among his reviews in recent years, there are two about Jiang Se. He is very likely a fan of Jiang Se, and he is not just talking nonsense to say good things about her and promote her new movie.
Wanjia Denghuo: Teacher Shu’s column has not been updated, and the specific news is still unclear, but a bunch of people have hurriedly started to blame him.
Falling in love with someone: In terms of time, the French Film Festival should have just opened. Even if Mr. Shu could finish watching "Demons", he could not have finished watching "The Accident". Given his personality, it is unlikely that he would say something irresponsible like "Demons" beat "The Accident" without watching both movies in person.
The two sides held their own opinions, and the incident caused a lot of controversy. The two films have not yet been released in China, but they have already created enough topics. Overseas, Shu Peien did not expect that what he said unintentionally had already made news. (To be continued)
