The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 353 Pregnancy (two in one)

March 3, Beijing, China World Hotel.

Guo Jingfei straightened his collar a little in front of the conference room door.

Until now, he is still a little confused about the invitation he received for "33 Days of Love".

His father was one of the first batch of civil aviation children in China and one of the eight male flight attendants.

I have always hoped that I could inherit his legacy, become an excellent pilot, and fly freely in the blue sky.

But he had no interest in pilots at all. He prefers the stage to flying.

So after graduating from theater, I was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Arts Center.

At that time, only the best students could be recruited into the drama club. Yuan Hong also took the exam but failed to get into the drama club.

He was the only one who was noticed by the leader of the drama club and even wanted to make an exception to include him.

Even if many people join the drama club, they start out playing small roles, but as soon as he graduated, he stood on the stage of the drama and played the leading role.

He also lived up to the expectations of his leaders. His drama once achieved a box office of 1.6 million. In the drama industry, it was once difficult to get a ticket.

The salary in the drama club is not high. Apart from renting a house, the rest is just enough for food and clothing. For a while, he even lived in the home of his brother-in-law Lu Yi.

But he doesn't care, he likes days like this, being able to perform on stage, unleash his talents unscrupulously, and do what he likes.

But this kind of life was soon broken, drama became more and more niche, and his salary in the drama club could not even meet his food and clothing needs.

And he has a wife to support, and they plan to have a child.

Due to various practical problems, he finally bid farewell to the drama stage and officially moved to the film and television industry.

Just when he was running around like a headless fly, he unexpectedly received an invitation from the crew of "33 Days After Love".

Guo Jingfei took a deep breath in front of the door and slowly opened the door.

There is a long table in the center of the bright and bright conference room. There are some snacks and peanuts and melon seeds on the table. On both sides, actors who have signed contracts with the "33 Days of Love" crew are sitting in order according to the number of roles.

At the entrance, there is a machine that records the actors' daily highlights for later use in publicity.

On the left hand side, there is a row of chairs against the wall. The screenwriter, photographer, sound engineer, editor, costume designer, etc. are all there.

Looking around, those actors are basically familiar faces from the small screen.

Xian'er, who became popular in "Chuang Guandong", Song Jia, Zhou Yang who plays the role of the Three Holy Mothers, the male lead villain in "Snail House", Zhang Jiayi who plays Song Siming, and Hai Qing who plays Hai Ping.

As well as Hu Chan, who entered the front line with "Myth" at the beginning of the year, and several female role actors in "Sword and Sword III", including Tang Yan, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi.

Zu Feng, who plays Li Ya in "Latent", and Luo Jin, Lu Yuan's classmate.

Guo Jingfei looked away from everyone, bowed his waist and said hello, finding his place.

He only found out after signing the contract that his role originally belonged to Zhu Yawen, but the other party didn't have the schedule.

Teng Huatao found Hao Ping, who played the role of brother-in-law Su Chun in "Snail House". Hao Ping was a senior at the Shanghai Theater Arts Center. He heard about his name and recommended it to Teng Huatao. Lu Yuan happened to like his achievements in drama. , just got this opportunity.

He feels quite complicated. Several of the people here are younger than him. They are all born in the 80s, but they are more famous than him. His junior brothers in the theater, Hu Jian, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Tang Yan.

This was not the scariest thing. He looked at the position near the door. There was no one there for the time being, but the word "Lu Yuan" was written on the table card.

Not only is he the leading actor, but he is also the biggest investor in this drama.

This man is the big mountain that weighs on all the people born in the 80s. He is the nightmare of the young generation in mainland China. Not only the people born in the 80s, but most people born in the 70s, including him, are beyond his reach.

After graduation, he limited himself to the drama stage. Over time, he felt that he was the best in the world and even became arrogant.

For a period of time, he specialized in performing obscure master plays and was so immersed in his own drama world that he didn't even care whether the audience could understand them or not.

Now that I think about it, compared with my peers, I have fallen far behind. I just feel that I was quite stupid a few years ago. I couldn't solve the problem of food and clothing, and caused my wife to suffer. Such an ideal is too ridiculous.

I opened the script on the table and after looking at it for a while, the door was pushed open and director Teng Huatao and the leading actor walked in.

"The director is here."

"Teacher Lu is here."

"."

When Lu Yuan pulled out his chair, he subconsciously glanced at Liu Shishi, who was reading the script silently with his head down.

As if telepathically, the girl also raised her head and glanced at him. The moment she looked at him, she retracted her head and turned to murmur to Tang Yan.

He specifically requested the script reading. When signing the contract, he made it clear that the main actors participating in the filming must participate unconditionally. If they refuse, they will be deemed to have given up the role.

Although the drama "Ming Dynasty 1566" did not make waves in terms of ratings, the obsessive state of Chen Baoguo, Wang Jinsong, Ni Dahong and other actors during the cast's reading period left a very deep impression on him. To a certain extent, It affected his subsequent acting career.

People who have seen mountains, rivers and seas will no longer be limited to hills and depressions. The filming of "Ming Dynasty 1566" has always been a benchmark in his heart.

In today's industry, with the influx of hot money, there are more and more film crews starting production, and the good and bad are mixed. This type of actor is gradually emerging.

After getting off the plane, I put on a costume and sat on the edge waiting for the show, chatting and scrolling through Weibo with my mobile phone in hand.

When it came to his shot, the director told the scene to be angry, and then used a stereotyped performance in front of the camera, shouting lines angrily.

Patterns are considered good, and there is some professional ethics. The most outrageous thing is that some of them even have expressionless faces, chanting "one, two, three", and may take off their costumes after the filming and go to the next group.

Now that he has the opportunity and the ability to organize a game, he must put an end to such phenomena in his crew and hope to be as high-standard as possible.

After sitting down opposite Song Jia, he looked at Hu Jian, Yang Mi, Luo Jin, and Tang Yan, and said with a smile: "Didn't I say that you guys don't have to come?"

"Love Is Not Loved" opens with several groups of couples breaking up. After considering it, he invited Hu Gan, Yang Mi and others.

There aren't many scenes, it's just a guest appearance. There was no need to come over for the reading, and I don't know what kind of crazy these people are, so they insist on coming to join in the fun.

Hu Ge has always been active, and he has a good relationship with Lu Yuan. He said with a playful smile: "I have nothing to do, come and take a look."

Luo Jin is outrageous. Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone. He sits next to Tang Yan and talks endlessly about his lines.

Tang Yan's expression was quite speechless. She and Luo Jin were also a couple in the play, and their total screen time did not last more than two minutes.

After "Sword and Sword III", her resources improved visibly, and various businesses came to her door. In addition, the New Year had just passed and she was busy making money from advertising, so she didn't really want to come over.

It's just that she didn't want to come, Luo Jin thought, chatting with her on the phone, talking about being dedicated, how promising this drama was, and how it would be at the box office.

Anyway, after talking a lot, she didn’t know what was going on. It was as if she had been fed a soup of ecstasy, and she was fooled into flying over from the Magic City.

Lu Yuan looked around, looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Let's get started."

When filming "The Ming Dynasty 1566", many actors would try to get into their roles during the filming period. However, the cast of "33 Days of Love" is younger and less experienced. Compared with Chen Baoguo's gang of old monsters, they are inferior. too far.

Correspondingly, Lu Yuan's requirements are much lower, and he does not encourage them to add sufficient performance elements when they first read the script, whether it is the character's voice modeling or body language.

Because actors have different professional abilities, it is very likely that they will bring in their personal performance "habits", which will make their understanding of this character superficial and one-sided.

The purpose of reading around is more to allow everyone to relax and get to know each other as much as possible in an informal atmosphere.

Even directors and actors who often collaborate need to re-establish a tacit understanding when facing an unfamiliar script.

As the reading was officially announced, the sound of readings rang out one after another in the conference room. "You are still brave"

"Actually, I've wanted to for a long time."

"Assholes, you are all bastards!"

"Are you okay, Huang Xiaoxian?"

"."

Lu Yuan listened while taking the lines. As he listened, he picked up some clues from them.

The actor named Guo Jingfei really has a good command of lines, with cadence and full of emotion.

The lines translated by Song Jia, Zu Feng, Guo Jingfei, and Zhang Jia are relatively outstanding among this group of people, but the gap between the remaining people such as Hu Jian, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, etc. is much larger.

While reciting the lines, the Xianjian group looked at each other, feeling increasingly guilty and unsure.

Hu Jian originally thought that he would step into the front line by relying on "Myth" and the gap with Lu Yuan would be narrowed.

But now I realize that the gap has not narrowed. There is a world of difference between the front line and the front line.

It might have been a mistake to come here today, and the way he looked at Guo Jingfei was wrong.

This actor's line skills are a bit awesome.

Then he looked at Lu Yuan, who seemed to be even more powerful.

His voice is very relaxed, and the rhythm is well controlled. Although the pitch is not high, his enunciation is precise. His face is obviously expressionless, but it always feels cheap.

Every time he recited his lines, whether it was Song Jia, Zhang Jiayi, or Zu Feng, they didn't dare to slack off at all, and they looked attentively. Anyone who saw it could tell that the pressure was high.

On the other hand, Lu Yuan didn't read the script during the whole process and could pick up on anyone who spoke. He seemed to be able to pick up the pieces at his fingertips.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he noticed that Liu Shishi's line skills seemed to have improved a lot next to him.

After reading through the script, there was a discussion session. Teng Huatao clapped his hands and said, "Let's take a rest for a while. If you have any doubts about the story line and the characteristics of the characters, please raise them quickly later. The screenwriting teacher is here, and we will immediately Discuss and resolve on the spot.”

As soon as the words fell, everyone went to the toilet and chatted.

Lu Yuanyan and Zhou Yang were sitting alone. They got up and walked over. When they passed by Liu Shishi, they saw the girl and Tang Yanyang sharing the candies. He reached out and grabbed two from her hand.

"Here, have a taste." He turned and handed it to Zhou Yang.

She waved her hand and refused: "I won't eat, thank you, I'm losing weight."

"There's something wrong with you. Are you the one who posted pictures of barbecues in the group late at night? Why are you so polite after losing weight? This was not the case when you were in school." Lu Yuan was suspicious. At Nortel, except for Pan Yutong, only Zhou Yang She has the best relationship with the three of them, just like the silly elder sister.

After graduation, the two of them rarely met in real life, but they never lost contact and gossiped in the group every day.

Zhou Yang glanced at him, nuzzled at Liu Shi, and said, "Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood?"

Lu Yuan turned around and saw Liu Shishi staring at him with eyes like a butcher's pig. The main idea was that he stole this girl's candy and actually gave it to others. He should go home and wait for death.

"It's okay. If I really want to be angry, she won't look like this. She's just joking."

The two chatted for a while, then Teng Hua came over holding his cell phone and said, "Li Nian can't come."

"what happened?"

"She is pregnant, but her boyfriend won't let her go out to film, so she stays at home to raise the baby."

After the broadcast of "Snail House", Li Nian became famous for his role as seaweed.

At the same time, she also gained her own love. Her boyfriend is an outsider and a wealthy businessman, and he may choose to retire from acting in the future.

Li Nian played the role of a cello teacher in the play. Lu Yuan frowned and said, "Let's change him to someone else."

"Who?" Teng Huatao had no idea.

Zhou Yang suggested in a low voice: "How about Yifei? She happens to be able to play the cello."

"Isn't she filming?" Lu Yuan was curious.

"Just ask, it's just a guest appearance and it won't last long."

"Okay, I'll make a call."

Jiaotong University in Shanghai, the filming location of "Love Announcement".

Liu Xiaoli is 50 years old this year, and she is still smartly dressed, but the years have left the mark of vicissitudes on her face.

On the set, Liu Yifei was wearing a denim blue shirt and a gray sweater jacket, dressed like a good girl next door, and was starring opposite Wang Lihong.

Looking at her daughter, she seemed to see herself in her youth, and couldn't help but think of the green years of the past.

"Ding ding ding."

Liu Xiaoli's memories were interrupted by the ringtone of an incoming call. She took out her mobile phone from her daughter's bag and it showed Lu Yuan.

She has long heard about her daughter's classmate, who is the young generation from Mainland China who dominates the small screen.

In the early years, when her daughter was still in school, she met each other, but her senses were not good, and there was also a man named Zhu Yawen.

She believes that young people do not seek advancement and should become famous in the entertainment industry as early as possible. His classmates joined the group early and filmed movies, but he stayed in school every day.

He is unpromising and mostly has a muddle-through character.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the other party jumped up and quickly reached the top, becoming the first in the new generation.

Not even comparable to my own daughter.

"Hi, hello, I'm Liu Xiaoli."

"Hello Aunt Liu, I am Lu Yuan."

"Lu Yuan, I know you, is something wrong?"

"It's like this. There is a movie here with a cello teacher. Around April, I want Yifei to make a cameo." Lu Yuan said on the other end of the phone.

Liu Xiaoli remained calm and inquired: "Guest appearance? Can you tell me specifically what movie it is?"

"An adaptation of a novel called "Love Is Not Blind"."

Liu Xiaoli winked at her assistant, who understood and immediately took out her phone to search for recent reports, including "33 Days After Love", Lu Yuan, etc.

Then he shook his head and said that no relevant information was found.

Liu Xiaoli knew in her heart that it was probably not a big investment, because big investments must have been publicized long ago, and she was not willing to let her daughter make a guest appearance.

Then she nodded to her assistant and said: "I'm sorry, Yifei is busy filming "Love Announcement" and has to fly to Wanwan in two days to continue the next scenes. It's inconvenient to go back and forth, and I really can't make it. Make time.”

"Excuse me, I'll find someone else."
