Become Famous Another Day - Chapter 446

“Ma Zhiyuan’s work has been canceled this week.”

Li Zhibai opened a whiskey, ordered braised food takeout, and happily held a sharing meeting for three people at Ziyuan Bridge.

It was said to be a sharing meeting, but in fact, it was Li Zhibai who told Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang all the information he had collected.

He had never been so active in inquiring about gossip. Everyone who received his call could hear his gloating from his eager and probing questions.

“Zhou Ping’an is putting out fires everywhere, but several endorsement brands have already terminated their contracts with Ma Zhiyuan.” Li Zhibai laughed, “Several cooperations that were being discussed have also been canceled.”

Yan Liang said: “Zhou Ping’an wants to give me several resources that were originally his.”

Li Zhibai immediately said: “You must not accept it. This person is a real dog. If I give you Ma Zhiyuan’s resources at this time, Ma Zhiyuan’s crazy fans will chase you and scold you to the sky.”

Yan Liang nodded, “I think so too. Taking over Ma Zhiyuan’s resources at this time seems like I am taking the opportunity to rob them.”

Lu Yanhe: “The main reason is that you don’t lack these at all now. Why did you want to take over Ma Zhiyuan’s job and lay such a trap for yourself? Zhou Ping’an really doesn’t have a clear mind. He just wants to keep everything in his own bowl and is not afraid of messing around. , and spread the rice all over the floor.”

Li Zhibai: “If he had a clean mind, he wouldn’t be able to do so many bad things.”

“But Ma Zhiyuan doesn’t respond either?”

“How can I respond? What can I respond to?” Li Zhibai said, “If I were him, I wouldn’t have the face to come out and see people at this time.”

“But things have to be resolved, and it’s impossible for him to never stand up and respond to this issue.”

Yan Liang said: “I guess we have to wait for this storm to pass first. Zhou Pingan has not been seen at all in the past two days. He is probably just solving this matter. Before responding, he must also reach an agreement with Xu Qinyin and her company. Consistent, unified caliber.”

“I’m curious, after something like this happened, will Ma Zhiyuan’s fans continue to like him?”

“There must be people who lose fans, but there must also be people who don’t mind and continue to like him.” Lu Yanhe said, “If you expect this incident to completely defeat him, then don’t even think about it.”

Li Zhibai sighed regretfully.

In this entertainment industry, the two people Li Zhibai hates the most are Ma Zhiyuan and Meng Li.

If one day the two of them retire from the entertainment industry, Li Zhibai will definitely open champagne to celebrate it.

Yan Liang asked: “Ma Zhiyuan and Xu Qinyin have not responded, so this matter may have slowly cooled down.”

Li Zhibai said: “Then I really want to directly @马志元 on Weibo and let him take responsibility like a man.”

Lu Yanhe: “Don’t do this. This matter is not about Ma Zhiyuan alone. It also involves other people. The matter is too big and it will not be good for others.”

Li Zhibai: “I know, otherwise I would have posted on Weibo on the first day I learned the news.”

–

Just as Yan Liang said, Ma Zhiyuan and Xu Qinyin never responded to the matter or showed up, so the heat of the matter slowly passed away.

Speaking of which, this is not an unprecedented event. To the uninvolved, this is just a bit of a blast.

Liu Bige’s new film actually vacated a heroine’s seat because of this incident. This incident attracted more attention from agencies and actresses.

Liu Bige and Longyan Pictures held a small interview in private.

Li Zhibai is also there, mainly to let Li Zhibai play with them to see how CP feels.

Only five people received interview invitations, including Wang Jing recommended by Lu Yanhe.

The five of them all had a scene with Li Zhibai, and then chatted with everyone.

No results were produced on the spot.

After all the actors left, Mrs. Huang asked Liu Bige and Li Zhibai for their opinions.

Liu Bige didn’t say anything first, but looked at Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai was also very direct, saying: “When I played the role myself, the one I felt the most about was Wang Jing. She was so crazy that when she got mad at me, I was shocked.”

Everyone else laughed.

Mrs. Huang also smiled and said, “Wang Jing’s play is pretty good.”

Another person mentioned: “Actually Ji Miao is also very good. She even won the Phenom Award for Best Supporting Actress and her acting skills are also very good.”

“Ji Miao is indeed good, but the sense of romance between her and Zhibai is not that strong.” Someone said, “Although our show is mainly about comedy, the relationship between the two characters is still related to love, and there is no sense of romance. At the end of the movie, the audience will not be moved.”

Mrs. Huang asked: “Why is there no sense of CP? Can’t it be adjusted in the later stage?”

Liu Bige said: “It is not impossible to create this feeling with some shooting angles and guidance, but it is definitely the sense of CP that can create sparks by itself that impresses the audience more. Ji Miao is actually a little proud, and with When Li Zhibai auditioned, it gave people the impression that she was more than capable of acting in this movie. She was too arrogant.”

Li Zhibai said: “Of the five people I just auditioned for, the one I felt the worst about was Ji Miao, but she may have some confidence, after all, she has won the Phenom Award.”

Among the five, Ji Miao is the only one who has won a mainstream award.

Mrs. Huang smiled and said, “Our movie has you as the core character. If she has such an idea, she will be disappointed.”

She asked Liu Bige: “You haven’t expressed your opinion yet?”

“I think both Wang Jing and Sun Ruoyao are very good.” Liu Bige said, “Wang Jing is that her overall feeling is very similar to the character in the script, her acting skills are explosive and very good in all aspects, and her acting is very good.” Aura. The advantage of Sun Ruoyao is that she is very beautiful. She is stunningly beautiful but not aggressively beautiful. It is rare for an actress to have such a look. I imagined her playing this role with Zhi Bai. The picture will actually look better.”

“Sun Ruoyao has only acted in one play before, right? She played a role in an ancient puppet.” Mrs. Huang looked at the information in front of her and pondered for a moment, “In comparison, Wang Jing is still more reassuring. I’ve also worked with you.”

“She is a reassuring actor.” Liu Bige nodded, “It depends on how you choose.”

Originally, Li Zhibai felt that Wang Jing gave him the best feeling in terms of his own feelings.

But after hearing what Liu Bige said, he thought about the effect of appearing on the screen with Sun Ruoyao. It was indeed more cinematic than standing with Wang Jing.

It doesn’t mean that Wang Jing is not beautiful enough and is worse than Sun Ruoyao. But this role, this subject, if played by Sun Ruoyao, will form a stronger contrast in image and personality, similar to the contrast between a goddess and a female nerve. This will be easier to produce effects, and it will also make the audience unexpected and surprising. laugh.

Mrs. Wong said: “We actually know the strengths and weaknesses of the two actresses very well.”

When she said this, the others stopped talking.

Mrs. Wong said: “How about we do a test shoot? We’ll see which one is better and we’ll use it.”

“That’s fine.” Liu Bige nodded.

–

After Li Zhibai came back, he told Lu Yanhe about the audition.

“Sun Ruoyao?” Lu Yanhe didn’t expect that Sun Ruoyao would appear halfway. He didn’t even know this actress.

Lu Yanhe checked Sun Ruoyao’s information on the Internet, especially some clips of her previous acting roles.

As they said, Sun Ruoyao is indeed a bright and majestic person in appearance. Although because she is very young, she does not have the feeling of a “big woman” yet, but her eyebrows are a bit like the Hong Kong ones in Lu Yanhe’s impression. The charm of a movie actress.

Li Zhibai said: “Compared with her, Wang Jing’s image is indeed a bit worse, and the contrast effect is not that big.”

Li Zhibai is also a person who doesn’t understand much about acting. He was supposed to graduate this year, but because he missed too many classes and didn’t earn enough credits, he had to postpone his graduation.

Li Zhibai really didn’t understand much about the theoretical knowledge in school.

But he has a talent for acting. Li Zhibai also has his own opinions on what is a good performance. This is what distinguishes a good actor from an ordinary actor, and there is a difference in aesthetics. Li Zhibai himself has not acted much, and his time has not been long, but he has been able to clearly distinguish the differences between Wang Jing and Sun Ruoyao, as well as their advantages and disadvantages for a movie and a role.

In fact, many actors do not have this ability to distinguish at all – which actually means that they do not have the ability to distinguish what is a good script and what is a good cast.

“A test shoot is actually a safer approach.” Lu Yanhe also agreed with this point, “This way we can see most intuitively who is more suitable.”

Li Zhibai said: “I heard from Liu Bige that Wang Jing was recommended by you.”

“I recommended it, because when I listened to her talk, I felt that Wang Jing was actually very suitable. But if there is a more suitable candidate, of course I will find a more suitable person to play the role.” Lu Yanhe said, “Everything is to make this The movie is better.”

“From what I see, Mrs. Huang doesn’t seem to want to use Wang Jing. Although she has never expressed it in this way, she also hides her meaning very deeply.”

“Maybe. When she was filming “Late Spring” with Liu Bige, Longyan Pictures must have wanted to sign Wang Jing, but Wang Jing finally signed her contract to Northern Lights Video. Mrs. Huang probably Because I have some objections to Wang Jing about this matter. It doesn’t matter. Once Wang Jing becomes popular, Mrs. Huang will probably forget about it.”

Li Zhibai: “No wonder.”

“Why didn’t Wang Jing sign to Longyan Pictures at that time?”

“It must be that the conditions given by Northern Lights Video are better.” Lu Yanhe said, “She played a very important role in “Squid Game”. This was not arranged by me. It was Northern Lights Video that gave her the role. If Wang Jing signed a contract with Longyan Pictures, and Longyan may not be able to provide her with good resources. “

Li Zhibai nodded.

Yan Liang said: “I remember you said before that there is another movie you want to star in with Wang Jing, right?”

Lu Yanhe nodded and said: “Yes, I wrote a script for Sister Yuqian called “Telephone”. It is a story about two time and space, two heroines connected through a phone. I think the role of the young girl should be played by Wang Jing. is the most suitable.”

Yan Liang nodded.

Li Zhibai said: “Didn’t I say before that your work is under great pressure? Why do you still have so many projects to advance?”

“That was a script that was written before, and I don’t care about it now.” Lu Yanhe said, “I will not be deeply involved in this movie anymore. I will name the two heroines as the producer and screenwriter. “Next, Sister Ziyan will negotiate with various film companies to see which one is willing to do it.”

Li Zhibai: “That’s pretty much it.”

“How are the preparations for your drama version of “Nineteen Years of Crime” going?” Lu Yanhe asked.

Li Zhibai said: “I found Icefield Video to develop with me. The first draft of the script has also come out. I just got the first funding from Icefield Video and established a team. However, it will definitely not be until the end of the year or until the official start of filming. Next year, I have to film Liu Bigo’s movie first.”

“Yes.” Lu Yanhe nodded, “The movie version of this story was poorly shot. You should learn from their lessons.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t find a drama tycoon to act in this drama with me.” Li Zhibai said.

Yan Liang pursed his lips and said, “You two have started to work as producers now. It really puts me under a lot of pressure. It’s too complicated.”

Lu Yanhe said: “We all started this by chance. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, you can do the same.”

Lu Yanhe actually hopes that everyone can participate more deeply in this industry, not just as actors.

If you are just an actor, you are indeed too passive. But if they have the ability to run a project on their own, then when no suitable project comes to them, they can do the project themselves and do the project they really want to do, instead of waiting passively.

Li Zhibai’s cell phone suddenly rang.

He answered a phone call and came back and said: “A drama I acted in before suddenly landed. It will be broadcast tonight. Please let me forward the trailer to promote it.”

“What drama?”

“Washe.” Li Zhibai said.

At this time, Lu Yanhe’s cell phone also rang.

It was Su Xiao who sent a message in the “Young Days” group chat, saying that the drama “Washe” starring in her will be broadcast tonight, and asked everyone to help forward her Weibo to help promote it.

This drama stars Li Zhibai and Su Xiao and is broadcast on Icefield Video.

Lu Yanhe: “This drama was filmed at the end of the year before last, right? It took so long to be aired.”

Li Zhibai said: “It is said that the post-production process took a long time because it is a fantasy-themed love story.”

“The investment should be quite large, right? Why did it suddenly land in the air?”

“I don’t know why, and we don’t know either.” Li Zhibai said, “It was scheduled to be scheduled several times before, but then it was suddenly canceled.”

It’s true that Li Zhibai hasn’t broadcast dramas for a long time.

The last drama was “The Ballad of White Jade” which was broadcast last spring, and the fairy tale drama became a hit.

A year has passed, and Li Zhibai finally has a new drama on the air.

Lu Yanhe forwarded the scheduled release news from the drama studio and forwarded the trailer.

The drama “Washe” had a total of twenty episodes when it was filmed, but now it is aired with only eighteen episodes left.

Because there is such a popular figure like Li Zhibai, once the news was released, it still attracted quite a lot of attention.

Su Xiao has gradually gained popularity and a group of loyal fans in recent years because of the variety show “Young Days”.

Icefield Video listed “Washe” as a drama in June.

However, after the first episode of “Washe” was updated, it was ridiculed by Li Zhibai’s fans because of its zero advertising, and it became a hot search.

“This show was airborne, so it’s normal that there are no advertising patches. It’s totally unreasonable for them to use this to laugh at you.” Lu Yanhe said.

The three of them accompanied Li Zhibai to watch the premiere in the house.

It became a hot search on the Internet, and Lu Yanhe complained about Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai said: “Don’t pay attention to these black words just for the sake of blackness.”

In fact, the current phenomenon of fan circles is indeed strange.

They have to compete in everything, even starring in a movie and how many advertising spots they have.

Compared with the artist’s ability to attract investment…the more patches there are, the more popular the drama is and the more popular it is with advertisers.

The placement rate of the first episode actually depends on the advertiser’s recognition of the protagonist.

“Washe” is entirely a drama performed by Li Zhibai alone – he is the only big star in this drama.

The fact that there are zero advertising patches has naturally attracted ridicule from the anti-fans.

Blocking out these disturbing voices and watching the first episode carefully, Lu Yanhe said: “This drama is quite romantic. It’s much better than I expected.”

In this drama, Li Zhibai finally no longer plays an exaggerated character who is bluffing or a little crazy, but plays a bookstore owner with a mysterious past – he can take others with him to travel into the dream world, But they also face attacks from unknown creatures at any time.

Su Xiao plays an ordinary girl who is accidentally attacked by an unknown creature. She accidentally follows the character played by Li Zhibai into the dreams of others, solving the fear, worry and pain in their hearts for an individual in the dream, and at the same time, she also Resist attacks from unknown creatures.

In the first episode, there were not many special effects, only a few shots of unknown creatures appearing, and a few shots of Li Zhibai using super powers in other people’s dreams.

The effects are also amazing, not the kind of 50-cent special effects.

After the first episode was aired, “Washe” became a hot topic on the Internet.

Mainly Li Zhibai’s fans are promoting it. At the same time, Icefield Video also bought several hot searches to let more people watch the show.

Li Zhibai finished reading it himself and was satisfied.

In fact, since his debut, most of the dramas he has acted have a large proportion of love scenes.

This also has something to do with his positioning in the market.

Female viewers just want to watch him fall in love and be themselves.

Including “Moonlight Symphony” which he has just finished shooting, as well as Liu Bigo’s movie to be shot next, they all have this theme.

However, although the dramas played by Li Zhibai all have a large proportion of love, the themes are different. From fairy tales, to urban fantasy, to comedy, Li Zhibai still stays within his own safe zone and challenges different character types and themes as much as possible.

This kind of attempt will not make the audience tired of him very quickly. Just like the mysterious male shopkeeper he played in “Washe” this time, in reality he is usually a taciturn, measured young man who is inconsistent with his age, but in the dream, he seems to be a different person. The bravery and perseverance. This kind of contrast in roles not only brings a great sense of freshness to his fans, but also earns high praise from the media.

Many people feel that the media’s evaluation of artists is basically based on getting paid to do things.

In fact, many media are just normal audiences when they are paid to do things. Their attitude towards celebrity artists is also related to the artist’s own performance and the touch that his works bring to them.

Why is Chen Ziliang so angry?

Because he was not good at acting, not only was he not good at acting, but it also prevented everyone from seeing his sincerity in acting.

Is Li Zhibai really that good at acting? Gifted? Of course not. But he plays roles that he can control and are in his comfort zone. Moreover, he is looking for something different in every play and does not always repeat himself, which brings a lot of freshness.

This is the most basic thing as an actor. Compared with his peers, his attitude seems particularly dedicated.

–

“Washe” became a dark horse that suddenly emerged in June. It is rare for a drama to appear in the drama market that is highly discussed and has a relatively popular number of viewers.

But this drama still faces the same characteristics as Li Zhibai’s previous dramas, which are mainly female audiences. This is a good thing, but it has limitations for Li Zhibai to further broaden his acting career and allow him to go further as an actor.

Of course, no matter what, at least Li Zhibai has come up with another hit drama.

After zero pre-roll ads in the first episode, there were six pre-roll ads in the second episode, four at the beginning of the film and two in the middle of the film, which effectively defeated the previous attacks by the sunspots.

In addition to the popularity of “Washe” in the drama market, in the movie market, the youth love topic “You Ten Years Ago and Me Ten Years Later” starring Ji Miao was very popular in the early stage. The box office revenue of 21 million yuan was far from the industry’s expectations. It plummeted even more during the next working week, with a daily box office of more than 2 million yuan. It is expected that the final box office will not exceed 50 million yuan, which is disappointing.

On the contrary, the action comedy “33 Days” starring Cheng Shiyan performed steadily, taking in a box office of 540 million in its first week of release. It is estimated that the final box office will still exceed 1 billion. This also makes the industry more confident about his “Beetle Project 2” which will be released in the Spring Festival next year. Cheng Shiyan’s box office appeal remains undiminished.

Except for these two Chinese-language movies, other Chinese-language movies had almost no sound in June. Most of the box office performances were mediocre, and there were no dark horses. On the contrary, an American animated film “Wendy the Stray Dog” grossed 600 million at the box office with zero domestic promotion, which is eye-catching.

The performance of these movies also affects the movies to be released later.

The movie “On the Road” starring Jia Long and written by Lu Yanhe is scheduled to be released on Thursday, July 12.

The movie “Flowers on the Stars” written by Yu Jiang and starring Lang Xia is scheduled to be released on August 14th during the Chinese Valentine’s Day.

“Rouge”, directed by Wang Zhong, starring Chen Bige and Huang Kairen, and written by Lu Yanhe, is scheduled to be released in September during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In addition, there are several heavyweight movies that have been scheduled one after another.

As a box office heavy period, the summer season is the largest box office period in China except for the Spring Festival period, and its longest duration is the longest in the country.

The crew of Lu Yanhe’s “Love Letter” began to set up camp in Jiangzhi in earnest during this summer season, which is about to kick off.

Lu Yanhe went there after taking the last exam.

Summer has come.

When Lu Yanhe got off the plane, he felt a wave of heat coming towards him.

There is obviously a covered bridge in the middle, but between the air-conditioning and the airport and the cabin, the heat wave is still rolling.

Luo Yuzhong had already taken Zhao Yuheng to sort out the crew’s shooting plan from beginning to end, and went through the work plans of each department, so that when Lu Yanhe arrived, the basic framework for the preparations for the film shooting had been set up.

The crew must have a veteran director like Luo Yuzhong in charge, so the crew will not dare to fool them.

Otherwise, if others see Lu Yanhe as a new director, they may not be tempted to fool him.

At this time, Jiang Zhi has entered the most beautiful time of the year.

The sun is shining brightly, and the whole city is shrouded in golden sunshine or green shade. It’s like the kind of small town summer that is often seen in cartoons. In the scorching heat, you hold a popsicle and lie on a mat with a fan or air conditioner on. Go up and enjoy the coolness slowly.

The news that “Love Letter” came to Jiangzhi for filming has been known to many people.

After all, in the days since Lu Yanhe didn’t come, several groups of people from the “Love Letter” crew had come to visit every spot and set up scenes. There was quite a lot of movement and it was impossible not to be known.

There are not many scenes to shoot in the summer.

It also happened to allow Lu Yanhe to familiarize himself with the situation.

Xia Tian’s scenes are basically scenes from his youth, and Chen Bige doesn’t even need to appear.

However, Lu Yanhe did not expect that Chen Bige would come anyway.

She said that she didn’t accept any other roles anyway, and she didn’t have any other work for the time being, so she could come over and have a look. By the way, she also came to see who the girl who played her in high school was.

“Also, you have officially announced that the heroine of this movie is me. If I don’t appear in Jiangzhi, aren’t you afraid that the media reporters will make some bad guesses?” Chen Bige said with a smile, “If that’s the case If so, then your mysterious heroine may have to be exposed.”

Lu Yanhe didn’t expect that Chen Bige would think so much.

Many people gathered in Jiangzhi because of this drama.

Many fans also came here just to catch a glimpse of their favorite celebrities.

The crew of “Love Letter” directly booked two inns in Jiangzhi for the crew to stay.

This package costs a lot, but it is more convenient for the crew to manage, and it can also prevent others from disturbing the crew’s rest.

–

Zhang Ruozhi hasn’t had a holiday yet.

Lu Yanhe and the others didn’t rush him either.

They planned to shoot other scenes first, including some empty shots.

Because it was Lu Yanhe’s first time as a director, he really didn’t know what to do. I have never observed too carefully before what kind of things a director wants to do in a play.

Talking to actors is definitely only a small part.

Fortunately, they set aside enough time to sit down with people from various departments for meetings to discuss shooting plans, storyboards, and test shots.

The test footage was all auditioned by Lu Yanhe himself.

Among them, the most critical scenes for this movie almost all take place in the library.

This drama was filmed at Jiangzhi High School where Zhang Ruozhi studied.

He Yunlan coordinated and students from his own school participated in the performance, so the school readily agreed.

Fortunately, high school libraries are generally not used very much—

Especially in this era, basically few students go to the library.

He found a very suitable room on the second floor of the library to shoot the scene in “Love Letter” in which the two of them were in the library.

Lu Yanhe stood in front of the window and asked the photographer to take a test shot of him.

Liu Bige is also here.

After the photographer took a picture, before Lu Yanhe looked at it, Liu Bige said no.

“Your shots are too idol drama.” Liu Bige took over the camera and took the shots himself.

Because it was just a test shoot, there was no track for the camera to move on, nor any lighting design.

But Liu Bige directly constructed a movement in a short period of time.

Take a picture of the figure revealed in the gap from behind the bookshelf, simulating a person’s perspective, moving slightly, testing, and even hiding a bit of cautious shyness, and then slowly pushing the camera out.

Liu Bige carried the camera on his shoulders.

He slowly walked out from behind the bookshelf and walked to the front of Lu Yanhe, facing the sunlight streaming in from the window.

Lu Yanhe’s figure was covered with a layer of light.

“The lens must not be too straightforward, it must have its own language.” Liu Bige said to the photographer, “Especially for the movie “Love Letter”, you have to think about what kind of story this is, this scene What is being filmed? It’s not just the director and actors who need to read the script. Even those who do technical work also need to think about the script and understand how a scene is going to be shot. The skills in your hands can also speak for themselves. Do the work.”

The photographer is very young, his name is Wu Zhou, and he was a member of the photography team when Liu Bige was filming “Late Spring”. This time, Wu Zhou was also one of the photography team brought here personally by Liu Bige.

Lu Yanhe watched the replay with them.

There was no post-production and no light modification. The section shot by Liu Bige lasted only about twenty seconds. However, as he said, without any lines or narration, he was able to shoot from such a camera perspective. Change, showing the emotion that this shot is going to show.

The emotion of secret love, careful and secret observation.

Liu Bige said to Lu Yanhe again: “My judgment should be correct, right? Do you want such a shooting effect?”

Lu Yanhe nodded, “Yes, I really wanted to shoot this scene like this. From my perspective and her perspective, the two people’s perspective would be to shoot each other’s perspective, forming a camera relationship where they secretly look at each other.”

–

At noon, Lu Yanhe went to the school cafeteria to eat with everyone.

The principal asked the staff cafeteria to cook a meal for them to express his welcome to them.

“Oh, you are especially welcome to come to our place to film.” The principal’s eyes shone when he saw Lu Yanhe, “I really hope that among the senior students in our school this year, there will be children who can become your juniors.”

Lu Yanhe: “There will definitely be.”

he said to the principal.

Principal: “Well, our school’s teachers are not as strong as other places, and the children are also in trouble. I hope you can bring us some good luck by coming to our place to shoot this movie.”

Lu Yanhe couldn’t laugh or cry.

After lunch, Lu Yanhe wanted to use the restroom, but the restrooms were full, so he had to go to find other restrooms nearby.

At the corner of the corridor, two men were standing there smoking, unaware that Lu Yanhe was coming from behind.

“Lu Yanhe will be the director and shoot a movie, Liu Bige will be his cameraman, Luo Yuzhong will help him with department management, and Chen Bige will be the lead actor for him. Haha, there is no one left.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I just think this world is really unfair sometimes.”

“unfair?”

“Everyone has a different starting point. We want to be directors. We have worked hard for more than ten years since we started working on set, and we don’t see any opportunities. But stars like Lu Yanhe want to be directors. Everyone They are all helping him. I know that he is very powerful and a genius, and he can succeed in anything, but I can’t help but be jealous of him.”

“You’d better adjust your mentality quickly. If you hold on to such thoughts, it will only become more and more uncomfortable.”

“I’m just complaining to you. I tried to write a script before and asked a producer to read it for me. Do you know how long he read it? He only read it for five minutes, and then he said to me, The script was terrible, like shit, and I wanted to put **** in his face that I had no storytelling talent.”

“You can take the script and invest in some youth film festival venture capital projects, since you have the script.”

“Haha, do you really believe that those were selected through auditions? They are all people with complicated connections behind them. For a person like me who has no background, when people see my name, they won’t even open the script and take a look. “

“You are too pessimistic.”

“Don’t you believe it? Haha, you are so naive.”

…

Lu Yanhe felt a little unbearable in his heart. He couldn’t bear the fact that “few opportunities” are an indisputable fact for those who want to start from scratch. At the same time, he was also a little annoyed, annoyed with this cynical and jealous mentality.

He didn’t really take it to heart that he was being whispered about behind his back, but this kind of attitude that the outside world was full of people with connections and ordinary people had no chance to succeed made Lu Yanhe want to stand up and question him. Is it because others don’t choose your script because you have no background, or is your script itself not good enough?

Lu Yanhe has been in the entertainment industry for so long, and of course he knows that many people really have unappreciated talents. However, whether it is the venture capital fund of the Youth Film Festival or some other platforms or projects, they are still discovering a person’s talent through , to support him.

There are still young directors emerging every year. There are so many people in the entertainment industry who have resources and abilities. They never choose projects based on whose background is greater, but based on the script and the script itself.

He is like this, Chen Bige is like this, and Shang Yongzhou is like this.

The better people do on their own, the more they will abandon all distractions and only see what they really need to see.

He doesn’t believe that the youth film festival’s venture capital funds are all selected by related households.

Lu Yanhe also received a request from this project to be a judge. But because he was very busy, he declined. But many actors and directors in the industry have received invitations to be judges, and they read and select scripts seriously. When I see a good script, I will even be tempted and support the director with all my strength to make this script into a movie.

–

But Lu Yanhe did not stand up to refute him.

He just walked away silently.

Before walking away, he glanced at the two people talking, both of whom were from the camera crew.

The cynical and jealous one is the older Bao Wenliang, and the younger one is Wu Zhou.

The reason why Lu Yanhe didn’t stand up to refute was, firstly, because there was no need, and secondly, because in front of cynical and jealous people, what he said was “it doesn’t hurt to stand up and talk”, “If you are successful, of course everything you say makes sense.” “.

–

When Lu Yanhe was an actor in the past, he rarely had to deal with every staff member in various departments.

When communicating with the photography team, we often communicate with the director of photography how to move a lens, so that he can find the correct lens during the performance. Of course, when meeting Liu Bige, there is no need to look for a camera. Bige Liu doesn’t even want you to know where the camera is. He likes to capture the actors in their most natural and real state.

Now Lu Yanhe needs to communicate in depth with people in various departments, because each department must listen to him on how to do it and to what extent.

The advantage of Lu Yanhe directing “Love Letter” is that he has a very clear idea in his mind of what kind of original film he wants to make, so he can give very clear instructions.

At the same time, he also specially found someone who could draw storyboards to help him draw the storyboards for the shooting of this script.

It is a particularly good thing for any department if a film has a complete storyboard before shooting. Each department will know exactly what kind of shot they want to shoot and what they need to do.

And now this test shoot is actually the running-in stage for them.

Liu Bige has actually made the photography requirements very clear to the photography team, and the follow-up question is how to implement them. Liu Bige said that if he had time for some important scenes in the script, he would go to the scene to supervise them in person. If he didn’t have time, he would leave them to the two photographers on the photography team. Both of them have no problem with their skills.

Lu Yanhe said yes.

For a film, the cinematographer is so important.

Generally speaking, photography teams are completed by big names in the industry with their own teams.

Bao Wenliang and Wu Zhou were both the photography team that Liu Bige formed when he was filming “Late Spring”. They had worked together on a film before, so they were relatively familiar with them.

It’s just that when Lu Yanhe heard what Bao Wenliang said at noon, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and couldn’t express it yet.

However, it is impossible for Liu Bige to stay on the set of “Love Letter” and help Lu Yanhe personally take the shots.

He also has his own movie to prepare in the second half of the year.

He was able to serve as the director of photography and lend him Bao Wenliang and Wu Zhou, which was already very loyal.

Lu Yanhe spent three days with the crew on trial shooting. He gradually became familiar with how to be a director and became more and more familiar with people in various departments.

And while the school is not on vacation yet, the movie has to start shooting some scenes.

For example, shots of students going to school.

In high school, there were many shots of students going to and from school, and they were all very beautiful.

Lu Yanhe and his photography team stayed outside Jiangzhi Middle School for several days, and finally got a satisfactory shot. If he thought it might be used in a movie, he would have to find the people who appeared in the shot and ask them to agree to appear.

If they don’t agree to be on camera, the footage won’t work.

The college entrance examination has ended. Currently, Jiangzhi Middle School only has students in the first and second grades of high school.

Lu Yanhe and his photography team stayed near the school every day during school hours and took some shots, which made the students very excited. Many students would look towards the camera curiously, and some would look away embarrassedly. Avoid the camera.

After the final exams for the first and second grade students were over, the official filming began. (End of chapter)
