Light and shadow player

In the past two days, both Cannes and Venice have sent invitations to Cheng Yuan. The former invited him to France as an award presenter, and the latter invited him to Shuicheng as the chairman.

Cannes time did not allow, and "The Wandering Earth" was not finished in May, so Cheng Yu'an pushed it.

He didn't want to be the chairman of the jury for the film festival anymore, he was too tired, and he wanted to push back the invitation to Venice.

But Alberto Barbara repeatedly invited, Cheng Yuan thought of his relationship with Venice, took a step back, and promised to present the award at that time.

It was already very late when Cheng Yuan was playing, and it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning after the summary meeting.

Yawning back to the hotel, I received a video call from Liu Yifei from the capital.

"It's so late, why?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

Looking at Liu Yifei, she seemed to be calling herself in the bathroom.

"The baby is asleep." Liu Yifei said softly. She also just finished the play, and walked to the bed with her mobile phone as she spoke. The little guy was sleeping really soundly.

The head is tilted to one side, the right hand is raised to the mouth, and the left hand is under the quilt.

"Let me show you how your daughter sleeps." Liu Yifei said and gently lifted Qi Qi's quilt.

I saw her body twisted to the other side, with her feet spread apart in a split.

Coupled with the placement of her two hands, the posture should be as strange as it is, as interesting as it is.

Cheng Yu'an chuckled: "Put the quilt on."

"Now I can't sleep honestly, and will kick me." Liu Yifei said, straightening the girl's hands and feet, and covering her with a quilt.

The two exchanged a few sentences across the screen.

"I have to get up early tomorrow," Liu Yifei took the initiative to cut off the call, "That's it, go to sleep."

Cheng Yu'an could hardly keep her eyes open, and nodded, "You go to bed early too. Aha—" it ended with a yawn.

With his wife not by his side, Cheng Yu'an was a slob. It was so late and he didn't want to take a bath. He wiped his face carelessly, took off his clothes and rolled on the bed and fell asleep.

Cheng Yu'an woke up after sleeping for about four hours, washed up, and rushed to the cafeteria to have breakfast with the actors.

Working on the set all year round, Cheng Yu'an knows the importance of eating, once the machine is turned on, it runs day and night.

So whether he has an appetite or not, he will keep himself well fed.

Not only that, but his assistant's bag also has all kinds of energy-supplementing snacks, and Cheng Yu'an will eat some when he thinks about it.

When Cheng Yu'an arrived at the hotel cafeteria, the actors were already eating.

Cheng Yu'an filled a bowl of porridge by himself, sat next to Uncle Da, grabbed two eggs from the big bowl, peeled them and ate them.

While eating, he said: "I didn't eat much last night, I was so hungry. You eat. Come on, Mai Mai, eat an egg, you are growing up, eat more." I gave one to Zhao Jinmai.

"I have to give the hotel an opinion. This side dish is almost tasteless and not refreshing. It's not as good as the pickled mustard that costs 1 yuan a pack."

"Eat yours, you can't stop your mouth if you eat something." Uncle Da took a plate of side dishes and placed it in front of Cheng Yu'an.

This is the first time he has cooperated with Cheng Yu'an, and Cheng Yu'an gave him a good impression.

Uncle Da has suffered and seen the world.

On Hong Kong Island, a wealthy boss like Cheng Yu'an hardly works on the front line of the crew, and is more of a nominal producer or producer, and most of his energy will be spent on the management and operation of the company.

But Cheng Yu'an is different, he doesn't seem to know, or he doesn't care about his enviable wealth, he prefers and prefers to work in the crew.

He will stay up all night with the crew, and often fight with producers and screenwriters at meetings.

He prefers his role as a director.

Uncle Da thought about it, not to mention the younger generation in Hong Kong Island, even the older generation of directors, with Cheng Yu'an's rich net worth, would no longer make movies.

Uncle Da has now reached the age of ears, and his pursuit of wealth is not as persistent as when he was young. He just wants to live longer and make two more good movies.

Cheng Yu'an has the most essential love and passion for movies that he admires rarely among the younger generation of filmmakers.

Although working in his crew is tiring, Uncle Da is very satisfied.

The actors at the same table rushed to the set after eating, leaving Cheng Yu'an to eat alone.

Cheng Yu'an's good appetite is very much to Wu Jing's liking.

"Come on, eat some more. Old men should eat more, how can you work if you are not full?" Wu Jing peeled another egg for him.

Cheng Yu'an took Wu Jing's eggs: "Don't eat, don't eat, I'm full."

Cheng Yu'an drank a large bowl of porridge, three eggs and two fried dough sticks for breakfast, and couldn't eat any more.

Wiping his mouth, he took the rest of the actors to the set.

Although the director of "The Wandering Earth" is Cheng Yu'an, Cheng Yu'an will not be in charge of shooting all the shots of the film.

He will give some simple shots to the executive director to shoot.

Today is like this, Cheng Yuan's specific scenes in the studio, some empty shots were shot by his executive director.

According to the filming plan formulated in advance, the crew will give priority to filming Wu Jing's scenes.

Today will usher in a big show. Liu Peiqiang suspects that Moss has defected. Together with Komarov, he escapes from the dormant cabin and goes to the main control room of the space station in an attempt to seize control of the space station and buy time for the earth.

This scene was scheduled for a full month in the filming plan of the crew.

If the filming goes well, after this scene, Wu Jing will make up two more scenes and he will finish all the scenes.

The difficulty of this scene is not in the space station, but in outer space.

While Wu Jing was changing his clothes, Cheng Yu'an told him about the scene in detail.

"Okay, let's do this first, let's go through it first." After Cheng Yu'an finished speaking, he took the script and walked away.

…………

As for the outside world, the entertainment circle in mid-March was relatively calm.

"Zootopia" completely suppressed "Ip Man 3".

For the time being, only these two dramas are worth buying tickets in the market. The flames of war are almost over, and there is less attention.

After the melee at the beginning of the year, the various film companies have rarely released big materials, and they are all preparing for their new films.

On Yuanyuan’s side, because of what Cheng Yu’an said before: “Little girl signed such a long contract with the company, she can’t always hang out in variety shows.”

This year, the company will give appropriate resources to Nazha.

But considering Nazha's actual situation, it is impossible for the company to praise her like Tong Liya.

She can't afford such a big production.

So I only considered giving her some scenes with solid scripts and not too complicated characters.

Chen Zhixi personally contacted her about Dapeng's new play "Sewing Machine Band", and the role of Ding Jianguo in it is very suitable for her.

Nazha probably also knows her own level and the company's positioning for her - a top vase.

There's nothing wrong with this positioning.

What acting awards have Li Jiaxin and Qiu Shuzhen won?After the vase was photographed, it was still so red.

She also knows that her level is not close to the big productions of big directors, and it is quite good to act in some small and medium-budget productions.

So he didn't refuse "Sewing Machine Band".

But Chen Zhixi comforted her: "Behave well, after playing this supporting role, I will find you a female lead."

Paint the pie first.
