The piano music stopped, the restaurant became quiet, and Luo Man woke up.

"If I knew you were also attending the Asian Film Awards, I wouldn't have been so anxious last night." Jia Zhangke's tone was relaxed and casual. He didn't expect that the second meeting with Luo Man would go so smoothly, "How long can you stay on Hong Kong Island? Looking for

Let’s talk about the script characters later?”

"I am quite satisfied with the script, and I have communicated with my agent and expressed my intention to take over the filming of this movie," Luo Man responded directly, paused, and then asked in confusion, "But there is one thing I don't understand.

According to the information I found, you seem to prefer to use familiar actors and acquaintances when filming. Why are you looking for me this time?"

When Jia Zhangke heard this, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at his wife beside him, "He is very interesting!"

"Well, he is a cheerful person!" Zhao Tao also praised with a smile.

"I like your straightforward style of speaking, so I don't have to hide it," Jia Zhangke took a deep breath and put away the smile on his face, "To be honest, what do you think of this script?"

"Flaws do not cover up strengths." Luo Man said bluntly.

The movie script "Destined to Be" is based on four real social events. Jia Zhangke interspersed the four stories together with coherent lens language, and added some unique dramatic conflicts and character conflicts, making the overall film structure full and powerful.

However, some details in the script could be better portrayed. Regarding this aspect, Luo Man will have to observe it after joining the team. If he puts it forward now, it will only be regarded as just talk on paper.

However, after reading the script last time, Luo Man discussed with Identity II that based on the current development of the mainland entertainment film and television market, this movie is worth making.

Zhao Tao looked at her husband, chuckled and said, "Flaws don't hide your faults! Mr. Screenwriter."

"Isn't it a compliment to not hide one's faults? What are you making fun of?" Jia Zhangke asked his wife with a smile, then turned to look at Luo Man, "To be honest, it was my teacher Xie Fei who pointed me out and said I could ask you for help."

"Xie Fei?" Luo Man recalled the name carefully in his mind, but there was no clue.

"He is a fourth-generation director from the Mainland and a professor at the Imperial Film Academy." After a brief introduction, Jia Zhangke paused and said, "Moreover, his family background is the same as yours, so he knows your situation."

Hearing what Jia Zhangke said, Luo Man probably understood that it must have been spread that his father Wan Zhong brought him to meet Nie Chen. The old saying is true, there is no airtight wall in the world.

Jia Zhangke didn't care about Luo Man's expression, he just kept to himself and continued, "You also said that this script has flaws and flaws. Looking at today's entertainment market, we need such a movie to be released in the mainland, but we want to pass the review..., so

, I’m coming to find you.”

Sure enough, it turns out that he was used as a stepping stone! Luo Man thought to himself.

"Let's talk about it!" Zhao Tao on the side said, "Jia Zhangke doesn't believe that you can match his pace in making movies, and he doesn't believe that you have the ability to play the role of 'Xiao Hui', but he is willing to give you a chance.

, the premise is that you have to help so that the movie can be released in the mainland after it is made."

From the first meeting, Luo Man realized that the purpose of the other party's visit was not simple. It turned out that he was waiting for him here!

"Help is a trivial matter, just a phone call away." Luo Man leaned back and showed his grace, "But I also have a problem. I don't believe your movie is of a quality worthy of my asking for help."

Who doesn't know how to kick a ball?

"You are indeed arrogant! Although you are not from a professional school, I like you even more." Jia Zhangke couldn't help laughing, "I have a suggestion. Since you don't believe me now, and I don't believe you either, let's wait until it's done.

We will look at the quality of the film after the film is released, and we will discuss this issue at that time."

After thinking about it, Luo Man nodded slightly and approved this method.

Looking at the smile on her husband's face, Zhao Tao couldn't help but wonder, "You two just made a verbal agreement like this?"

Jia Zhangke squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's a gentleman's agreement."

Luo Man nodded again and promised, "Gentleman's Agreement!"

In Jia Zhangke's view, this is a gamble, and the bet is on one's own vision of people. Even if Luo Man doesn't help in the future, the worst thing is that he will not lose anything if the film is released in Europe as before.

From Luo Man's point of view, what he was thinking about was what he just said. If you want to help yourself, you can do it, but you have to show your video quality, otherwise cats and dogs will come to you for help in the future.

It was easy once the matter was explained. After reaching the conclusion, the three of them were in a good mood.

"Sorry to bother you, this is your face." A female hotel staff member came over, put Luo Man's meal on the table with a smile, and took out a black blanket, "This is the table at the back.

Madam, let me bring it to you, saying that you were asleep and were afraid of catching cold."

Following the eyes of the staff, the three of them happened to see Ni Ni who was about to leave.

"Sister Pu Lun, your little plan embarrasses me to death!" Ni Ni's first thought.

"Why does this man's back look familiar?" Luo Man's first thought was.

Jia Zhangke and Zhao Tao looked at each other and smiled. They had seen this kind of thing a lot in the industry for so many years! No matter what Luo Man's attitude was, it was his private matter. Now that the serious business was over, the two of them immediately left the restaurant knowingly.

Luo Man also briefly explained that no matter whether Jia Zhangke and Zhao Tao believed it or not, they had the same mouth, and if they went out and talked nonsense, there was nothing he could do about it.

Although the steam from the soup noodles was rising, creating a layer of mist between Luo Man and Ni Ni, the awkward atmosphere still spread between them.

"Don't get me wrong!" Ni Ni wanted to leave, but thinking about her agent, she decided to stay and say hello to Luo Man, "Because I was chatting with my agent at the next table just now, and I heard that you seemed to have a nightmare.

So my agent asked the hotel waiter to bring a blanket to cover you."

It sounded like a perfect explanation. Luo Man nodded slightly, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ni Ni breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "Hello, my name is Ni Ni, and I am an actor."

"Hello, my name is Luo Man, and I am also an actor," Luo Man responded, turning over the noodles with chopsticks in his hand, "I went to the theater to watch your "Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling". The acting skills are very good, and the charm is charming.

It is tender and delicate, and the emotional expression is also very precise, which is very exciting."

Being praised by people who debuted at the same time, Ni Ni didn't want to be weak, so she also said, "I also watched "The Girl We Chased Together", and your acting skills are very good!"

I was trying to find a suitable adjective, but I found that I didn't have any in my mind. I'll regret it when I use the book!

"Oh! Thank you." Luo Man felt strange, but didn't think much about it.

After a pause, Ni Ni said again, "Congratulations, you won the Best New Actor at this year's Asian Film Awards."

Chi Liu... Chi Liu..., after taking two puffs, Luo Man felt that he was finally alive, "Has the list of winners been announced?"

"The organizer only announced the shortlist, but my agent received the winning list in advance. You are the best new actor this year." Ni Ni said truthfully, because when she just looked at the list, she was the best new actress.

Luo Man is right above me and is the best new actor.

"Oh!" Luo Man responded and continued eating noodles.

Seeing this scene, Ni Ni couldn't help but feel a little confused, "Aren't you happy?"

After a pause and swallowing the food in his mouth, Luo Man explained, "Just a little bit! I'm not particularly happy. I'm not acting to win awards."

"Isn't this too pretentious?" Ni Ni chuckled and said casually, but she regretted it after she said it. She and Luo Man were not familiar with each other. If she said such words in person, would the other party be careless or hold a grudge?

Thinking of this, Ni Ni felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Sister Pu Lun, you really misjudged me. You asked me to make connections, but I offended others with just one word.

Luo Man, who was sitting opposite, didn't have that many thoughts, and just replied calmly, "That's what I thought."

After two or three seconds of silence, Ni Ni felt a little relieved when she saw that Luo Man was still eating noodles with his head down as before. It seemed that there was a rumor in the circle that Luo Man had a good personality and was easy to talk to. It was indeed true.

Luo Man swallowed a few more mouthfuls of noodles, and after feeling a little comfortable writing alone, he simply got straight to the point now, "The agent asked the hotel waiter to bring me a blanket, and I left you alone here. Are you okay?"

"Hehe." Ni Ni smiled awkwardly, "With many friends and many paths, maybe we will be in the same company in the future!"

"Are you coming to Huayi?" Luo Man asked following the words.

"Not sure yet," Ni Ni hesitated and then reminded, "Don't go out and talk nonsense to the media. You don't want to cause any more trouble to others."

Luo Man nodded and said nothing more.

After being quiet for a while and staring at Luo Man, Ni Ni couldn't help but wonder, "Are you familiar with Director Jia? I just heard intermittently that you want to collaborate with him in your next movie?"

Ni Ni shouldn't ask for this kind of information casually, and Luo Man shouldn't reveal it to outsiders casually. There are many things involved in a movie project.

But coincidentally, Luo Man and Ni Ni are both rookies who have not been in the industry for a long time. They have only made one movie each. Neither of them is very clear about the unspoken rules of this industry, so now, a person who dares to

Ask, one dares to answer.

"It's almost settled, but the contract hasn't been signed yet, and the company's agent still has to go through the process. I'm not sure about the next steps." After a pause, Luo Man asked, "Have you seen his movies? He is very good.

Is it famous?"

"Of course! Although many of his films have not been released in China, the works directed by Jia Zhangke are unique in the circle." Ni Ni said eloquently, "There is a saying among young people that those who have not seen Jia Zhangke's movies do not understand this.

era."

Although the second half of Ni Ni's sentence has some literary flaws, Jia Zhangke can really afford it. Think about the script of "Destined to Live". These four stories will be put on the big screen. Who knows the difficulties and hardships involved?

Two strangers, just one sentence to you and one sentence to me.
