Chapter 588 587 [Ruan Lingyu’s Courage]

Zhou Hexuan also saw Ruan Lingyu and smiled: "Ah Ruan, long time no see!"

"Teacher Zhou." Ruan Lingyu originally wanted to call her Mr. Zhou, but changed her name to Teacher. This title is not wrong, after all, she learned Mandarin from Zhou Hexuan and also mastered modern Chinese pinyin.

Ruan Lingyu bowed her head after saying that. Although she has become a big star, her temperament has not changed. She always has an inferiority complex when facing Zhou Hexuan.

Nie Er saw that the two of them were a little awkward and immediately introduced him: "Mr. Zhou, this is Ms. An'e, the former music department director of EMI Records."

"Hello, Ms. Zhang, I have long admired your name!" Zhou Hexuan shook hands quickly.

An'e smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

An'e, whose original name is Zhang Shiyuan and whose underground party alias is Zhang Ying, is the lyricist of "Newspaper Selling Song" and "Yuguang Song". By the way, her husband is Tian Han, the lyricist of "March of the Volunteers". She also works at the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai, and is also a member of the Left-wing Writers Alliance and the Left-wing Dramatists Alliance.

The people standing next to Zhou Hexuan at this moment include at least five underground parties. No wonder Lianhua Pictures can produce so many progressive films.

Everyone took their seats, and film critics and audiences also entered the venue one after another.

Perhaps due to insufficient publicity work and the extremely hot weather, the attendance rate at the premiere of "Yu Guang Song" was less than 40%, and all the seats in the blockbusters were empty.

Zhou Hexuan called Ruan Lingyu to sit next to him and asked in a low voice: "How have you been recently?"

"Fortunately," Ruan Lingyu seemed to be unable to find anything to say, so she thought for a moment and added, "I'm about to shoot a new movie called "Life"."

Zhou Hexuan looked at Ruan Lingyu's appearance and felt a little helpless. She was really not suitable to be a star - she was too introverted.

If Zhou Hexuan hadn't intervened to help, Ruan Lingyu would have committed suicide next year. 300,000 people voluntarily mourned her. In Shanghai alone, 5 girls followed her to commit suicide, and there were many fans from all over the country who committed suicide. The contents of the suicide notes left by these suicides are similar: "Ruan Lingyu is dead, what's the point of living for me?"

Fortunately, Zhou Hexuan has sent Zhang Damin to prison, and Ruan Lingyu is not involved with the wealthy businessman. She should not commit suicide due to scandal again in her life. Zhou Hexuan not only saved Ruan Lingyu, but also saved at least ten girls who followed Ruan Lingyu to commit suicide.

Fanatic fans really cannot be explained by normal thinking.

The movie soon started, and a beam of light was cast on the big screen. After the subtitles such as "Yu Guang Song" and "Lianhua Pictures Company", a few lines of large characters appeared: "Electronics worker Jin Fusongjun died in the line of duty while filming "Yu Guang Song". Our colleagues from Lianhua would like to express our sincere condolences at the beginning of the film." Jin Jun pays a memorial tribute."

Well, someone died during the filming of the movie, so it’s time to express condolences at the beginning of the film.

What makes Zhou Hexuan feel helpless is that this "Fishing Light Song" is still a silent film and does not use the latest sound shooting technology.

"The Song of Fishing Light" is a complete tragedy. The fisherman was forced to rent by the fishing tyrant and died. His wife was forced to work as a wet nurse for the fishing tyrant to pay off the debt and raise the fisherman's son single-handedly. When Yuba's son grew up, he became an intellectual who studied abroad. After experiencing the loss of his family and his family, he became enlightened and became a laborer with progressive ideas. A fisherman's son was seriously injured and died while fishing. The fisherman's daughter sang a fisherman's song to see her brother off.

To be honest, from the professional perspective of shooting and the drama of the film, "Yu Guang Song" is not as good as "The Goddess" starring Ruan Lingyu.

The reason why "Yu Guang Song" is so popular is mainly due to its reflection of social reality. The film shows the hardships of the people at the bottom of the Republic of China, the rich people's unkindness for their wealth, the control of foreigners over China, and the helplessness of progressive young people towards reality, all of which resonate deeply with the audience.

The theme to be expressed in "Fishing Light Song" is far more profound and grand than "The Goddess" starring Ruan Lingyu. No wonder this film won the award in the Soviet Union. Not only that, it also attracted the attention of European and American people. The vice president of the French Writers Federation liked the film very much and spent a lot of money to buy the copyright and have it screened throughout Europe.

Chinese directors in the 21st century should really watch more classic films from the Republic of China period. As long as they produce good works that touch people's hearts, they will naturally gain wide recognition at home and abroad.

"Snap, snap, snap!"

After the movie ended, Zhou Hexuan stood up and applauded warmly, saying sincerely: "Thank you all for contributing an excellent film!"

Good movies will never go out of style. As a forward-thinking time traveler, Zhou Hexuan can only complain about the film's technical shortcomings, but cannot criticize its content. In fact, Zhou Hexuan just watched it with gusto. The director handled the rhythm of the plot very well, and the actors' acting skills were also very good, which has reached today's international standards.

Not only Zhou Hexuan, all the moviegoers spontaneously applauded and paid high respect to the creative staff.

Ruan Lingyu followed Zhou Hexuan step by step, watching Zhou Hexuan chatting and laughing with others. She wanted to interrupt but didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until everyone walked out of the theater, Nie Er, Jin Yan, Wang Renmei, Zhou Xuan and others said goodbye and left, and Zhou Hexuan's private car had started, that Ruan Lingyu shouted: "Teacher..."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Hexuan rolled down the window and asked.

Ruan Lingyu said with difficulty: "I want to treat you to dinner. Thank you for your care."

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Get in the car."

Yu Peichen saw that the two had a close relationship, and she had a good impression of Ruan Lingyu, so she immediately said: "Mr. Zhou, how about I take a rickshaw back first, and you guys can chat slowly."

"Okay." Zhou Hexuan nodded.

Ruan Lingyu suddenly felt much more relaxed when she saw no outsiders, and made an appointment with Zhou Hexuan to a Chinese restaurant near the theater.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, a diner recognized Ruan Lingyu, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came over and said enthusiastically: "Miss Ruan, can you sign your name for me?"

"Of course." Ruan Lingyu was quite confident when facing the fans, smiling and signing the person's autograph.

When Zhou Hexuan was ordering food, several movie fans came over to chat with him. Ruan Lingyu suddenly became the absolute protagonist, and Zhou Hexuan, a great writer, was directly ignored. This shows how famous she was in Shanghai. No wonder hundreds of thousands of people came to the funeral after committing suicide.

Ruan Lingyu looked very quiet while eating. She took the initiative to talk about her current situation and said that she wanted to thank Zhou Hexuan for his teaching. Now she can speak Mandarin very well.

It wasn't until the meal was almost finished that Ruan Lingyu said shyly: "Mr. Zhou, a wealthy businessman named Tang is pursuing me recently."

Could the wealthy businessman named Tang be Tang Jishan?

Unexpectedly, Ruan Lingyu still had to socialize with Tang Jishan after Zhang Damin was sent to prison.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Do you know anything about him?"

Ruan Lingyu said: "I only know that he is the big boss, his business has reached Africa, and he has also invested in our Lianhua Pictures. He is very good to me. He often visits the crew and bought many expensive gifts for my mother."

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "I want to ask you, do you know his family situation? For example, does he have a wife and children."

"I'm not sure," Ruan Lingyu shook her head, "but my mother and the company's shareholders have advised me to accept Boss Tang's pursuit, so I'm a little undecided."

"What do you think?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Ruan Lingyu glanced at Zhou Hexuan shyly, lowered her head and said, "I already have a sweetheart."

Zhou Hexuan felt a little headache about this. He was an experienced driver, so how could he not see what Ruan Lingyu was thinking? But Zhou Hexuan no longer dares to bring more people to his family. He has enough women and he has no intention of messing around with women anymore.

When I helped Ruan Lingyu, I just didn't want to see the tragedy happen.

When Ruan Lingyu saw that Zhou Hexuan did not express his position, she immediately felt extremely disappointed and inferior. She thought: Ah Ruan, Ah Ruan, you are just an actor. You are not worthy of Mr. Zhou. Don't have such wishful thinking.

After the meal, Zhou Hexuan offered to take Ruan Lingyu home. Ruan Lingyu shook her head and refused, insisting on calling a rickshaw herself.

Back home, before Ruan Lingyu put down her bag, she heard her mother He Aying complain: "Ruan, why did you come back just now? Boss Tang has been waiting for you for half an hour!"

Ruan Lingyu explained: "I had dinner with friends today, so I came back late."

Tang Jishan smiled and helped Ruan Lingyu out of the situation: "Haha, I have nothing to do anyway, so it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."

Ruan Lingyu greeted quickly: "Hello, Boss Tang."

"Ah Ruan, come here and talk to Boss Tang more." He Aying kept winking at her daughter.

Ruan Lingyu walked over silently, but she was always thinking about Zhou Hexuan. Suddenly she got strength from nowhere and mustered up the courage to say: "Boss Tang, I already have a boyfriend."
