Chapter 29: 3 Women, 1 Show
The movie "Triangle" tells the story of a mother who gets caught in a series of loops while trying to save her child who has died due to her own mistake.
It can be said that most of the scenes in this movie were imagined by the female lead.
Just like the janitor in the short film "Dilemma," this movie also has a "God" who can be used as the key to start or end the cycle.
From an Eastern perspective, it could be described as the female protagonist's obsession and longing.
The taxi driver's words to the female protagonist, "You'll come back, won't you?" are both a reminder to her and a foreshadowing of the fact that this is where everything began.
After the movie is released, Fan Binbin will thank his past self for choosing to star in this film.
These words, spoken by film director Gu Qing, sound somewhat like self-praise, but in reality, they are indeed true.
Just like when Steve Jobs said, "Hey man, I think we're about to change the world!"
Fan Binbin is a person you can say is beautiful, or you can say she is scheming, ungrateful, or you can even say that her success is all due to luck.
In Gu Qing's view, Fan Binbin was like a person hanging on a cliff, trying his best and doing everything he could to climb up.
She had experienced hardship and understood the difficulties she had faced in rising from a lowly maid to one of the top four actresses and two top actresses.
If I don't have resources, I'll find them myself; if I don't have fame, I'll go and crash the red carpet myself!
Well, if he hadn't made a mistake later, he would probably still be a legend in the industry.
Although Fan Binbin acted in the film for free, putting in not only her time but also a lot of effort, she still had a bright smile on her face when she appeared in front of Gu Qing.
The main cast and crew also held their first gathering in Sanya.
"Come on, let me raise a glass to everyone, wishing you all a smooth shoot!"
Gu Qing raised his glass, and Huang Xiaoming, Fu Dalong, and others returned the toast.
"Director Gu, this film has a lot of scenes set in the sea, so you'd better take good care of us."
Fan Binbin pursed her lips and spoke with a resentful expression.
Her face was like that of Xi Shi, who was ill, and her voice was like that of a nightingale in the willow branches.
As expected of someone described as a vixen, her very words evoked feelings of pity in everyone.
"I can't help you with that. You'll have to ask this guy next to me, Chen Zhou, who's the producer of our production."
Gu Qing remained expressionless, and under the unfriendly gaze of someone, she hurriedly distanced herself from the situation.
"Let me introduce you. This is Jing Tian, who is also my benefactor in starting my career. You could say that without her, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Hello everyone, I'm Jing Tian. Actually, I'm not as important as Brother Qing said. Brother Qing can still succeed without me."
Jing Tian quickly waved her hand and said that Gu Qing attributed all the credit to her, which made her quite uncomfortable. She knew what she had done.
Right then and there, under the table, he slapped Gu Qing's thigh.
Girl, are you crazy?
Who gave you permission to talk nonsense?
Gu Qing glared at her, and Jing Tian retaliated just as fiercely.
"I know that. The previous reports even said she was the woman behind Director Gu, haha."
Huang Xiaoming spoke up at the opportune moment, also to warm up the atmosphere.
Fu Dalong and Zeng Li were equally curious and glanced at Jing Tian several times.
There's no way around it; anyone who pays even a little attention to entertainment news wouldn't be unaware of it.
Fan Binbin had a smile on his face, but in reality, alarm bells were ringing in his mind.
What is the relationship between these two? She said that back in Berlin, she was showing her affection openly and subtly, but the other party remained unmoved.
To say that he had no feelings for Gu Qing would be a lie. Gu Qing was young, had potential, was quite handsome, and could also direct. Not to mention that he remained unmoved by her advances.
It's a pity, though, that she's already taken.
Zeng Li looked left and right, feeling somewhat embarrassed to lower herself to get close to Fan Binbin or the younger Jing Tian.
It's worth noting that she debuted as early as Huang Xiaoming, except that he graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 96, while she graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in 96.
However, circumstances were beyond his control; one was more famous, and the other had a more powerful background, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and join the conversation.
The men got along quite well. Gu Qing, along with Chen Zhou and several photographers and support staff from the crew, drank and boasted.
Men only have a few common interests: beautiful women, fishing, and international affairs.
The former is unspeakable, the latter is beyond discussion, so we can only talk about fishing.
Since most of the filming takes place at sea, there's something to it.
After filming is over, I'll definitely have to throw a couple of shots.
The man was having a great time chatting, but the woman was completely confused.
Zeng Li subtly implied that he was a senior figure, having been pursued by students from the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy back in his school days.
This combination of inside and outside statements also demonstrates that he is a senior figure in the industry, and even has formal training, subtly mocking Fan Binbin on two separate occasions.
As for Fan Binbin, she first subtly inquired about Jing Tian's relationship with Gu Qing, asking what stage their relationship had reached.
Then the funny thing happened: she actually said that she and Gu Qing were buddies, like brothers. It was hilarious!
After a few more questions, Jing Tian confessed everything. Under these circumstances, Jing Tian's level of defense in Fan Binbin's mind dropped several levels.
But Zeng Li's face-to-face kiss in front of her was simply unbearable!
What kind of veteran is she, who has been in the industry for many years? She still can't get a leading role in a movie.
So what if I graduated from the Central Academy of Drama? I've torn apart countless students from the top three art schools along the way, and I've never been afraid of anyone!
One person called the other a young man, while the other retorted by calling him a veteran actor.
At this point, "veteran actor" isn't a compliment; it's a label given out of desperation. They've worked their way up to old age without achieving fame, so they're simply given the title of "veteran actor."
A moment later, the two said they wanted to be down-to-earth in their filmmaking, while the other retorted that he had worked with various big-name stars and had experience in both commercial and art-house films.
Jing Tian wrapped her arms around the table, stood up straight, and stared wide-eyed at Fan Binbin and Zeng Li as they undermined each other. She was so excited that she wanted to shout it out.
Is this the cutthroat competition and backstabbing in the entertainment industry?
Too spicy!
The three women at the table can be said to represent three factions of actresses in today's entertainment industry.
One type is the academic type, who have formal training but lack star power and find it difficult to become a big star.
One type comes from a poor background and has a low social status, but they have risen through the ranks with a bit of luck and the help of benefactors.
The remaining category consists of those with strong backgrounds, who may even be famous, living a carefree and playful life in the entertainment industry.
What? You're saying there's another type of female celebrity left? Aren't they all still waiting to be served?
After several rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and it was time to leave.
Gu Qing arranged for those who weren't drunk to lend a hand and send the drunks back to their rooms before he and Chen Zhou toured the hotel.
The boy is on one floor, and the girl is on another floor.
China Film Group arranged for us to stay in a four-star hotel, which is not only safe and reliable but also quite comfortable.
Gu Qing didn't have any stingy ideas. Even if he tried to save money here, it wouldn't end up in his pocket anyway, so he might as well eat well, stay well, and have fun.
"Get a good night's sleep tonight, and be refreshed for filming tomorrow. Your assistant is right next door; call her if you need anything, or you can call me."
"Look at you, you've been drinking so much, why didn't you say so earlier? Your face looks like a monkey's butt."
Arriving outside Jing Tian's room, seeing her flushed face, Gu Qing spoke earnestly.
Although the other person had certainly heard these words more than once, he still wanted to say them again.
Isn't it said that people from Shaanxi are naturally slightly tipsy? This looks like they're really drunk.
Jing Tian didn't speak, but waved to Gu Qing, signaling him to bend down.
"what?"
Although she didn't understand what it meant, Gu Qing still bent down.
"I'm not a child anymore."
Jing Tian raised her hand and, emboldened by the alcohol, patted Gu Qing's head.
"What are you doing!"
Gu Qing was furious, feeling that she had been looked down upon, that she was too young and insignificant.
Not to be outdone, he turned and ruffled Jing Tian's hair, making her silky black hair look like a bird's nest.
"Gu Qing, I'll beat you to death!"
"Haha, go to sleep, sweet dreams."
After escorting Jing Tian into the room, Gu Qing laughed and returned to his own room.
