Kong Qingqi exclaimed, "Ah!"
Lu Xin, who was drinking water in the living room, didn't understand what was going on. Kong Qingqi looked up:
"In this book 'Movie Talk', there is an interview about 'Devil'!"
Lu Xin immediately put down the cup of water in her hand and squeezed to Kong Qingqi's side!
Inside the magazine, the two girls' eyes fell on Jiang Se's photo. A light blue chiffon sequined dress with a one-shoulder neckline wrapped around her graceful body. Her long black hair was combed behind her head, revealing her face that was exceptionally beautiful no matter whether she was wearing heavy or light makeup. Her beautiful eyes caught the audience's eyes even if they were only reflected on a page of a magazine.
Sequined long skirts have never been associated with young people. In the minds of most girls, such sequined dresses are more likely to be chosen by older women.
But Jiang Se wore this sequined long dress in her own unique style. The light blue color made her skin look white as snow, her shoulders were faintly visible, and her temperament was extraordinary.
When Lu Xin saw this photo, she couldn't help but sigh:
"I think of the film review written by Shu Peien, as if I had read a joke." She reached out to touch Jiang Se's face in the magazine. "Shu Peien said that in Devil, Jiang Se didn't rely on her face, but on her acting skills to catch his attention. When I saw this photo of Jiang Se, I felt that if even a girl like me could be attracted by her face, it wouldn't be surprising for Mr. Shu to become her fan."
In "Movie Talk", this entire page belongs to Jiang Se. This foreign film magazine introduces this beauty from China, including some of her basic personal information.
Kong Qingqi and Lu Xin had known all this information for a long time. Even if they were not very clear about some of Jiang Se's circumstances before, when "The Devil" caused such a big fuss, it was natural that someone would dig out some information about Jiang Se.
Kong Qingqi turned a page. Lu Xin wanted to make a few more jokes, but on the next page, the reporter from "Movie Talk" not only showed a photo of Liu Ye, but also half a page of introduction about "Devil".
This introduction is undoubtedly much more detailed than Shu Pain's brief and spoiler-free film review.
In the first line of text, the reporter from "Film Talk" called it a "classic work worthy of being listed among the top 100 in the world film library". Such words were obviously beyond the expectations of the two businesswomen!
This is a serious magazine that does not use frivolous words to attract attention, nor does it create gimmicks to increase others' desire to buy.
The reporter who wrote this article analyzed the movie "Devil" in extremely professional words, from the lighting and shooting, editing techniques, to post-production and the theme of the movie.
He also emphasized the acting skills of the two leading actors, calling them "the most appropriate pair of partners" and believing that they have acting skills that are not inferior to Hollywood's top stars.
The more Kong Qingqi and Lu Xin read on, the more they were surprised and suspicious. If in China, the praise for "Devil" written by Shu Peien in the film review came from his prejudice due to his appreciation for Jiang Se, as many netizens said, then the reporter who wrote this article in "Movie Talk" should have nothing to do with Jiang Se.
However, throughout the article, the reporter's affirmation of this Chinese film was beyond words. Kong Qingqi couldn't help but turn the page. Lu Xin couldn't help but say:
"I haven't finished reading it yet..." The word '呢' was still on her lips, and the next moment, she saw the screenshot of the trailer of "Devil" on the next page, which was miniature on the inside page of the magazine.
The movie trailer image used by the reporter of this article happened to be the scene when Zhang Yuqin, played by Jiang Se, became suspicious of Luo Shen, played by Liu Ye, and the two protagonists met for the first time in Luo Shen's tailor shop.
In the dimly lit shop, Liu Ye was smoking a cigarette with a half-smile on his face. Jiang Se, with her hair tied in a ponytail and two strands hanging down at her forehead, was wearing a black women's suit jacket that didn't fit her well. She looked at him.
This glance, even though it only appeared abruptly on the inside pages of the magazine, seemed very tense. The explosive atmosphere between the male and female protagonists fell into the eyes of the two audiences through the paper.
"This, this is Jiang Se?"
Lu Xin was laughing at first, saying "Shu Peien also makes mistakes sometimes", but when she saw Jiang Se the next moment, her eyes widened and she couldn't even speak clearly.
Jiang Se in this still in the magazine is completely different from the girl wearing the light blue chiffon dress before. One is like a ghost, and the other is fairy-like. How could two completely different temperaments appear in the same person
Lu Xin couldn't help but turn to the previous page to see the photo of Jiang Se taken for "Movie Talk". In the photo, she was full of spirit, elegant and charming. But when she turned to the next page, in Zhang Yuqin's stills, Jiang Se's cheeks were sunken and the look in her eyes made people feel cold all over.
If the two girls had previously expressed deep doubts about Shu Peien's words that "Jiang Se in "The Devil" attracted him not with her beauty but with her acting skills," now they no longer had any doubts.
Jiang Se in the stills doesn't look pretty at all. Not only her, but even the elegant Liu Ye has ruined himself badly.
The two girls seemed to have discovered a new world. "The Devil" had not yet been released in China, and Zhao Rang kept it mysterious before the movie was released, piqued the audience's curiosity.
Many Chinese people may not be aware of the stills revealed in this "Film Talk" magazine. After all, if Kong Qingqi had not accidentally scanned this somewhat boring professional film magazine into her shopping cart, she probably would not have bought it. But it actually revealed stills from "The Devil" in advance. Once the news spreads, it will probably cause a huge sensation and curiosity in the country!
That night, a girl named "Kong Erjie" posted a message on Twitter: Have my friends in the United States bought the "Movie Talk" magazine? It actually contains interviews and spoiler photos about "Devil". Mr. Shu's comments on the day were too polite. The moment I saw the photos, I was completely shocked! There are pictures to prove it!
Under this message, this "Second Sister Kong" released four photos, two of which were magazine photos of the male and female protagonists in the play, and a still from "Devil", as well as the feelings of the reporter in the magazine after watching "Devil", which had been considerately translated into Chinese.
As soon as the news was released, it quickly attracted the attention of many onlookers because of the attention and heated discussion the word "devil" has recently aroused in China.
The moment they saw the stills, those who had doubted Shu Pain's words that day, like Lu Xin and Kong Qingqi who saw the stills for the first time, could no longer accuse Shu Pain of "talking nonsense".
At the same time, many Chinese people in the United States who were interested in "Devil" began to buy this magazine, which was originally attractive only to people in the industry. (To be continued)
