Chapter 123: Meeting Xiang Yang Again, an Opportunity Brought by a Dream
The Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was held on Ludao Island.
The organizer opened the official live broadcast room on time.
Walking along the red carpet, the venue outside the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was already a bustling scene of light and shadow.
The huge golden rooster sculpture holds its head high, wings spread, and shines brightly in the sun.
On both sides of the road, there are rows of promotional billboards printed with the wonderful moments of previous Golden Rooster Awards and the style of award-winning filmmakers.
Not far away, reporters were busy moving around.
Some of them carried heavy cameras and constantly adjusted the angles, while others lowered their heads and communicated quickly with their colleagues around them, sharing the information they had just acquired.
Other reporters stared intently at their laptops, editing manuscripts against the clock so that they could deliver the latest news as soon as possible.
Around the reporters, there are parked satellite broadcast vehicles with antennas erected high on the vehicles, transmitting the on-site images to all parts of the country.
A long red carpet stretched from the entrance of the venue to the distance, with high isolation belts on both sides. Outside the isolation belts, enthusiastic fans and audiences had gathered early.
They held posters and cards of their favorite movie stars in their hands, their eyes full of anticipation and excitement. They looked towards the entrance from time to time, hoping that their favorite filmmakers would appear as soon as possible.
Some sharp-eyed fans in the live broadcast room noticed that there were quite a few fans holding fluffy standees on both sides of the red carpet.
"Ahhh, Rongrong has so many powerful fans. This is a ticket to the film festival. I haven't seen any channels selling it."
"Don't even think about it upstairs. Even if you have the channels, you can't afford it. It's much harder than a concert."
"Is this Rongrong's first offline performance since her official debut? It's such a pity that I can't be there..."
"I'm a little worried about the organizer's malicious shots. I hope Rongrong is okay (praying)"
Why is it always said that the red carpet and TV station cameras can best show a star’s true appearance?
Because the cameras on the red carpet usually use HD or even UHD technology.
This high-resolution shooting can clearly show the star's skin condition and facial features.
Small blemishes, pores, fine lines on the face may be visible under the red carpet camera, which requires celebrities to have good skin and delicate facial features that can truly stand the test of time.
Moreover, the lighting environment on the red carpet is relatively complex. In this case, the celebrity's appearance needs to be able to adapt to various lighting conditions in order to show its best condition under the red carpet camera.
For example, side lighting may highlight the three-dimensionality of the face, while backlighting will test the transparency and radiance of the skin.
If a star has any flaws in his or her appearance, they will easily be exposed under such lighting conditions.
In addition, celebrities are in a dynamic state when walking on the red carpet, unlike flat photos that can be carefully posed and post-processed.
The camera restores real beauty, while the dynamic display reveals the temperament of a star's every move.
This is why there are always some press releases after each red carpet event.
Things like 'So-and-so's red carpet look is legendary, and her stunning dress dazzles the audience', 'So-and-so's red carpet photos are so adorable, and her looks are incredible', 'She has a strong aura on the red carpet, and she looks like a queen'.
There were also male and female guests walking together and showing off their affection. The template was as follows: So-and-so interacted with xxx on the red carpet and it was so sweet. I was touched. "
If you see similar titles on trending searches, don’t doubt it, except for a few really stunning looks, most of them are bought by hired hands.
Every year there are always people who do that kind of thing, someone deliberately exposes themselves to attract attention, fakes a fall, wears counterfeit clothes, dresses inappropriately, or walks the red carpet to cause a war of words among fans, it's all these trivial things over and over again.
For the sake of traffic, everyone is fighting for their life, just like workers trying to achieve good performance. Some people really accept both red and black.
Lu Rong met with Director Xiang and others whom he hadn't seen for a long time. At this time, Xiang Yang's mental state was completely renewed, very different from his previous haggard appearance.
His originally gray hair was dyed black, and he gained a little weight, looking five or six years younger.
There are five crew members in total for "Rose", including the director and four actors. There are so few people that they all came in the same car.
Although Xiang Yang made a lot of money from this work, he has never bought a car. Several other new actors do have cars, but they are embarrassed to drive them onto the red carpet.
So they borrowed the car from Jing Xian, the nominal investor.
While driving, Xiang Yang chatted with Lu Rong in a friendly manner.
"Director Xiang, I was so busy with work that I didn't come to visit you. I'm relieved to see that you're in a good mood recently."
Lu Rong smiled apologetically.
Xiang Yang sighed: "Hey, it's amazing that a busy man like you still remember me. But you can't find me even if you come to Rose Manor."
"What do you mean?" Lu Rong was stunned.
Xiang Yang had told him before that he didn't plan to sell Rose Manor and would live there for his retirement. But now he has changed his mind. Could something have happened?
"It's just... I went to support the movie I made. After watching it, I always feel scared when I watch Rose Manor. I have nightmares every day."
Xiang Yang was very embarrassed. He was scared by the movie he had made, and he was too embarrassed to tell anyone about it.
"After that, I put the house up for sale. You know, it's so remote that basically no one wants to buy it. Occasionally, a few people who want to get a bargain come to see the house and immediately recognize it as the one in "The Rose" and insist that it's a haunted house. As a result, no one wants to come anymore..."
The house couldn't be sold, but fortunately he saved some money and bought a small house. The remaining money is enough for him to live on in his old age.
If I ask him whether he regretted ruining his own future, to be honest, he did regret a little, but he is old now and has come to terms with it. He thinks those lost years are just a way of paying for the time he was not with his son.
Everything has its own cause and effect. This might be retribution.
In fact, his son still took care of him. Even though Xiang Yang had no one to rely on in his later years, he still lived better than most ordinary people.
"That house...?"
"Hey, Xiaorong, if you talk about this, I won't be sleepy anymore." He clapped his hands.
"After I saw the house that day, it started raining really hard. I stayed in the manor that night and had a dream after I fell asleep."
Looking at the director's excited eyes, Lu Rong was speechless, not knowing whether to say that Director Xiang was brave or careless.
"I dreamed that someone invited me to play an escape room game. When I entered, the decoration inside was similar to my house. Then an NPC who looked exactly like my son appeared and chased me all night."
"After waking up, a light bulb suddenly lit up my head. Yes, the house can't be sold, but I can open a "Rose Fever" themed escape room!"
