Chapter 309 Conversation

The three didn't linger on the red carpet for too long.

Although it was the highly anticipated Cannes Film Festival, Lu Xuan knew he would be coming here often in the future.

So he didn't care at all.

The three of them, after a brief delay at the front, strode inside.

Ahead of them, several actresses, who had arrived at some unknown time, were striking poses, trying to look their best.

The contrast between the two groups was immediately apparent.

As they passed by, Lu Xuan clearly felt the resentment in the eyes of those women.

Everyone was following the unspoken rules, trying to spend as much time as possible on the red carpet to increase their exposure.

Some even took photos together with acquaintances, putting on a show of harmony and beauty.

But after meeting Lu Xuan, they felt a kind of unspoken suffering.

I'm wearing so little, all for this little bit of pitiful exposure, and you walk past me without even a glance.

What would the entertainment reporters think!

The actresses could already imagine how those unscrupulous reporters would write about their behavior.

But with the agent's instructions echoing in their minds, they plastered smiles on their faces once again and faced the cameras.

The three of them entered the venue without encountering any actresses tripping or accidentally exposing themselves, which was quite peaceful.

As requested by the organizers, they sat in the seats with their names on them.

Su Yao whispered,

"Look at those actresses outside, all dressed to kill, wishing they could stick to the red carpet. It's the same, whether it's domestic or international."

Lin Ping could understand their plight, saying,

"They rely on this exposure to make a living. Those who don't focus on honing their acting skills, but instead think of these crooked ways to increase their fame, will eventually crash and burn."

Su Yao said with some emotion,

"But the audience likes this kind of thing. Do you remember that actress who fell on the red carpet? After she went back, her commercial performance price immediately rose by five hundred thousand!"

"You tell me, who wouldn't be green with envy at such a large sum of money!"

Lu Xuan didn't know what to say about it. After all, everyone had their own choices.

Since they had chosen that path, they already knew the possible consequences, so there was no need to sympathize with them at this point.

Just as the two were whispering to each other, someone suddenly sat down in the empty seat.

Lu Xuan turned his head and recognized the person in front of him as Charles, who had called him some time ago.

He had almost forgotten about him because it had been so long.

Seeing Charles, Lu Xuan immediately spoke first,

"Charles, it's been a long time!"

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the Cannes Film Festival too? If you had told me earlier, I would have visited you first."

Seeing that Lu Xuan recognized him, Charles's expression softened a lot, revealing a standard smile.

"See, Lu, before I came, I was worried that you might have forgotten me. Now it seems, it really is like that old Hua Xia saying."

"To judge the heart of a gentleman with the mind of a petty person!"

Lu Xuan felt a little embarrassed. If it hadn't been for the homework Su Yao had done for him, he might have really forgotten Charles today.

But at this moment, he said with a gentle smile on his face,

"We are friends, Charles."

"We used to talk about everything. How could I forget you because of the passage of time? That's not something I would do."

Charles's mood visibly improved, and he opened up.

"Lu, you must be here to receive an award!"

"Your *Hero* is truly the most artistic film I've ever seen, and it's also achieved such high box office numbers!"

"Truly a role model for us all!"

Lu Xuan found that Charles often spouted some Hua Guo idioms, which he found amusing.

"You're using idioms one after another. It seems you've really studied Hua Xia culture well."

Charles said proudly,

"Of course, my dream since I was a child has been to become a Hua Xia expert and come to Hua Xia to learn real *gongfu*!"

"Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity. Lu, you can definitely make my dream come true, right!"

Looking at Charles looking at him with a hopeful expression, Lu Xuan was a little dazed.

"Charles, I don't understand what you mean!"

Charles said excitedly,

"Of course, it's that great idea you proposed to me, *Ip Man*!"

"We're going to film this movie, and of course we have to go to Hua Xia. Wouldn't that fulfill my dream of many years!"

Lu Xuan felt a headache coming on when he heard Charles mention *Ip Man* again.

This guy is really persistent!

But looking at Charles's sincere expression, Lu Xuan still couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Charles, after I'm done with this period of time, I'll definitely film *Ip Man* with you!"

"Look at me, I have the Cannes Film Festival and the filming of the TV series. I really can't get away these days. I'll contact you as soon as I'm done!"

Although Charles was a little disappointed, this matter was still within his plans.

Looking at Lu Xuan, he sincerely asked,

"Then do you have any further progress on the overall concept of the script now?"

"If you do, please be sure to tell me. My heart is already unbearable."

Lu Xuan felt that he really had no way to deal with him, so he could only say,

"I do have some ideas here, but they are all scattered and unsystematic."

Charles waved his hand dismissively.

"That's okay, I love to hear anything about this story."

Lu Xuan had no choice but to start telling the story from the beginning.

"First of all, this story tells the story of a small southern boxing style, Wing Chun."

"At the beginning of the story, our protagonist, the Grandmaster Ip Man, first solves the problem of opening his own martial arts school."

"Although Ip Man has now become a Grandmaster, according to the rules, if he wants to open a martial arts school, he must be recognized by everyone to be considered successful."

"Our first story is mainly about this!"

Charles exclaimed with wide eyes,

"Lu, your brain is definitely a treasure given to you by God. Your concept really makes me feel very interesting!"

"After you're done, be sure to come to me as soon as possible. I want to participate in the filming!"

Charles grabbed Lu Xuan's hand, and he had no choice but to agree.

"Don't worry, Charles, I will definitely notify you as soon as I have time!"

Charles is a well-known director internationally, and his camera language is very outstanding.
