Zhang Guorong had gotten into the best film academy in the country with excellent grades. This was the legendary actress's experience in real life. It was precisely because of her professional background that she was able to win awards so easily. This wasn't to say that she had won the awards because of her connections, but because her acting skills were really good. And because she had the backing of the elders of the film academy, it was impossible for anyone to take away the awards that she deserved.
No matter the era, public relations for film awards had always been an unspoken rule. Public relations might not necessarily win an award, but it would definitely increase the chances of winning an award. If you did not use public relations to win an award, you would have to outshine the rest of the actors and actresses. Otherwise, how could you win an award?
Sometimes, the quality of movies was similar. It was just like the female vase in some commercial blockbusters. You could choose anyone, but you would have to rely on the unspoken rules …
Zhang Guorong no longer kept a low profile during her time in university. She excelled in all aspects. She was even qualified to study at a famous film academy abroad as an exchange student. Her performance was still flawless, and she had met many famous foreign directors. She had left a deep impression on them.
Zhao Youyue had even pinned many chicken soup for the soul jokes on Zhang Guorong. It was as if all the famous sayings had been said by Lu Xun. In fact, it was not Lu Xun, but Bai Yansong.
Zhao Youyue believed that these chicken soup stories would be useful material for students who liked to write argumentative essays and give examples. They would write something like this — Zhang Guorong had done something like this in university. While everyone else was fighting for the right to audition for a certain role, she would silently pick up a piece of scrap paper and throw it into the trash can. The casting director had seen this, and thought that her character was too good. So, he had chosen her to be the female lead. Zhang Guorong had said, "I'm just picking up a piece of scrap paper. How did I get chosen? I'm not trying to be humble. You should find someone else." In the end, she had no choice but to recite a poem, telling everyone that they had to pick up the scrap paper to succeed!
Of course, Zhao Youyue would not use such an old interview story on Zhang Guorong. She only used this as an example to show everyone how Zhang Guorong had added scenes for herself. After all, many jokes could greatly increase a character's popularity!
In university, Zhang Guorong no longer kept a low profile. She had wantonly displayed her beauty and temperament. Of course, this led to a conflict between her and her best friend, Tang Tang. Of course, sometimes, because they were too close, there would always be friction. But because of their deep relationship, they would often be in a cold war for a few days, then reconcile.
Tang Tang habitually ordered a cake and chocolates for Zhang Guorong on Valentine's Day, but the two were at odds. Whoever gave in first would lose. Many lovers broke up like this. One thought that she would stay, while the other thought she would come back …
By the time Tang Tang realized this, the cake and chocolate had already been delivered to Zhang Guorong. In fact, Zhang Guorong had received countless chocolates, but of course, she liked the ones from Tang Tang the most.
Tang Tang impolitely sent a telegram to Zhang Guorong, saying that the chocolate and cake had been sent to her by mistake. At that time, there were no mobile phones, but telegrams were popular.
Zhang Guorong decisively replied, "I ate all the wrong things."
Later on, the two of them naturally reconciled and were almost inseparable.
This was the story that Zhao Youyue came up with. It might seem ordinary, but the readers would think that they were really cute after reading it …
It was normal to not think it was cute, but as long as someone kept saying "so cute, so cute", would you dare to say that you weren't cute? If that was the case, it would be better to just kill the Humming Monster.
Some of the jokes were meant to show off Zhang Guorong's talent. For example, she was supposed to accompany her senior to gain experience, but the director took a liking to her. Another joke was that she participated in a singing talent show for fun and won first place. In the end, she said that she still wanted to be an actress and would never step foot into the music industry again.
By the time Zhang Guorong graduated from university, she had already taken on the role of the female lead in many movies. With her acting skills that were far beyond her age and her own charisma, she finally embarked on the road to becoming a legend.
Zhao Youyue was not making this up. This was Zhang Guorong's real-life experience. Perhaps this was what it meant to be a hard-working genius. Such people were the most unfathomable. No matter what field they were in, they were destined to be looked up to …
However, Zhang Guorong, who was popular for a while, had a gap of one and a half years in her life. For some reason, she had completely retreated from the industry and refused to accept any work. There were all kinds of speculations. Perhaps the truth was that she felt that her acting had reached a bottleneck, so she used this time to continue to enrich herself and break through the bottleneck!
This gave Zhao Youyue more room to shine. Why did she retreat? It was not a bottleneck. She was already a peerless genius. Where did the bottleneck come from? Of course, it was because of love!
Those were the best days of Zhang Guorong and Tang Tang's lives. Zhang Guorong did not lack a safe harbor. For the sake of a solid love, she was willing to give up her hard-earned success. Tang Tang applied for a job at her bank. The coffee in Vancouver was sweet and fragrant.
When one woke up in the morning, one could see the mountains in the distance and the clouds in the sky from the balcony. The grass was green, and the neighbor's deer ran into the garden to eat fresh flowers. Zhang Guorong called it "Bambi." In such a paradise, where there were no distractions or restraints, one could only smell the fresh scent of love.
She gradually rose to fame, becoming one of the youngest movie queens in history. However, she retired from the film industry and moved to Canada. They lived in a small house on the top of a mountain. One of them read Kundera's book in the house, while the other went to the neighbor's house to fetch water to ward off evil spirits.
Zhao Youyue made up the story based on a photo of Zhang Guorong and Tang Tang in Canada. Perhaps the two really lived there together, or maybe Zhang Guorong was just visiting her best friend, and would leave after a few days …
However, readers would never like this kind of simple, warm friendship. They wanted to see a passionate, romantic love!
Zhang Guorong's legend lay in the fact that she had retreated from the film industry for so long. When she returned to the film industry, she was like a king, overshadowing the glory of her contemporaries. It was not the era of "heroes," but the golden age of the film industry, where legends were born.
Even now, loyal fans still asked the same question — — If her "sister" Zhang Guorong was still alive, what would she be like in the film industry?
However, some young people might blurt out, "Who is Zhang Guorong?"
It had to be said that because Zhang Guorong didn't have enough personal information, and she didn't have any biographies, the only people that understood her were old movies. This was undoubtedly a pity.
The "brother" from another world had passed away for so many years. Countless people still remembered him. Any young person would know who he was …
