Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 60 Lucifer
This chapter's subtitle: Picking up girls with your mouth is for the sake of picking up girls with your mouth
As the saying goes, flattery never wears out, no matter how many times it is worn.
Master Yuan's words were indeed a bit too much, a bit corny, and of course a bit racist. But when the great director David Griffith heard them, he couldn't help but feel an irresistible throbbing.
It is pitiful to say that being a Hollywood filmmaker was not a respected profession at that time. It is hard for later generations to imagine that these Hollywood actors were forced to make a living and had to do this business in order to make money, so they all used stage names, such as Miss Gish. And a great director like Griffith gave himself a stage name "Lawrence" when he first debuted.
To be more precise, the film industry was an industry that was not respected at the time.
The movie itself was a low-browed film that was not worthy of being shown in a high-end theater, and was only fit to be shown in cheap shopping malls and slums. People of status, such as a gentleman like Yuan Yanshu, should have refused to go to watch it even if someone invited them.
Even though Master Yuan's skin color is a little yellow, his words really seem like a sweet rain from heaven, falling into Griffith's heart that has been dry and barren for a long time... Hey, why does this metaphor sound a little weird?
It's really not an exaggeration. This is the first time David Griffith has heard such high praise from a gentleman outside the industry. He is already 45 years old this year and his eyes are a little wet.
He stammered , "Mr. Yuan, you really, really flatter me."
"I didn't!" Yuan Yan's expression was sincere, and she said sincerely in her heart: "I really think so!"
Mr. Griffith also said very emotionally: "Although this...but that...ah, I don't know what to say."
Then there’s nothing to say, old man. Isn’t there a Hollywood superstar here?
I can’t wait for young ladies like Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway , Nicole Kidman, Big Cousin, Black Widow, and Aunt Meryl Streep... Hey, even old ladies like Vivien Leigh, Garbo, Ingrid Bergman and the most anticipated Marilyn Monroe, I don’t know if I can wait for them anymore, so I can only find this one to satisfy the ambitions of a time traveler.
By the way, isn't sleeping with a movie star one of the top three items on every time traveler's wish list?
Our Master Yuan turned around and asked seriously, "Miss Lillian Gish, who do you think you are?"
"I am..." Miss Gish replied somewhat at a loss: "I am just an actress."
"Actor?!" Yuan Yan snorted coldly, raised her head 40 degrees to the sky, and said leisurely without even looking at the beautiful actress, "Ms. Gish, your answer really disappoints me."
Miss Gish was not angry at all. Instead, she leaned forward and asked expectantly, "Then, Mr. Yuan, what do you think I am?"
"You are..." Our Master Yuan lowered his head and looked stern. He stretched out his hand straight, his fingers almost poking at the other person's face, and shouted: "Lucifer!"
Poor big villain... Well, the actress was really knocked unconscious by this stick, and she was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Yuan Yan said coldly: "God created Adam and Eve, but gave them wisdom... To be more precise, it was the big snake that helped them find their souls. Even though this former deputy of God, the former first angel, wanted to drive humans out of the Garden of Eden with evil intentions, we have to admit that the Lord of Hell is the real hero who allowed humans to obtain a complete soul."
"Ms. Gish, you are the Morning Star who gave the character its soul!"
"I..." Miss Chen Xing felt even more dizzy when she heard such praise, and her eyes were full of sparkling stars when she looked at this Chinese man.
Our Master Yuan said in a deep voice: "Don't you have any feelings yourself? Those who act opposite you... let's call them actors for the time being, they exist in completely different worlds from you. They are fake, and you are real; they are artificial, and you are natural; they are alienated, and you are immersed."
"They are puppets, and you are the real human being!"
"Oh my god, you hit the nail on the head!" Miss Gish stood up excitedly. Her eyes were blurry, her face was flushed, and her steps were a little unsteady.
Yuan Yan also stood up and naturally held her arms. He looked deeply into the actress' eyes and made the final blow...
The dazed actress heard him say softly: "Lillian, you are the most special devil. Even in the hellish reality, you are still looking up to the heavenly art."
"Even if you are in hell , you are still looking up to heaven." These words ran through Miss Lillian Gish's body like a warm current.
She felt that she was pushed to the top by the Chinese in front of her. The two of them stood side by side on the top of the dangerous peak that no one could reach, looking up at the deep rosy night sky, and at this moment, countless bright stars in the night sky exploded at the same time!
Miss Gish's soft hands could not help but tightly grasp our Master Yuan, and she leaned on his tall body with her whole body trembling, and murmured from her throat: "Ni ao..."
"Neo, your wine is here! What are you doing..."
Louis Baker was frightened by the murderous look in the eyes of the couple, and he took a step back involuntarily, almost spilling his wine. But the next second, his eyes blurred, and the murderous aura of the man and woman seemed to have never existed. Instead, they looked at him with a smile... Well, it seemed that it must have been his illusion just now.
Little did he know that the woman in this couple was not only a professional actor, but also a pioneer of the naturalistic acting method. The naturalistic acting method, also known as "low-key naturalism", was actually first proposed by the great director Griffith, and his great disciple Lillian Gish promoted it. This acting style completely abandons the exaggerated performance traces of stage plays and pursues a lifelike, low-key and implicit interpretation method.
That’s why Yuan Yanshu said that Lillian Gish was out of tune , and just based on this sentence, he immediately became her confidant. Of course, our Master Yuan is the pioneer of the “Card Cheating Performance School”.
Just now, the two of them demonstrated the level of top-notch professional actors, and they returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
Master Yuan laughed and said, "Hahaha, thank you so much. Come on, Mr. Griffith, Miss Li... Miss Gish, and our great detective, Cheers for our meeting."
After he said this, the four of them happily picked up their glasses and clinked them together.
After they sat down, Yuan Yan first blinked at Miss Gish, whose blush had not yet faded, then turned to look at the director and said, "Mr. Griffith..."
