Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 401
Watching Zhang Yuanjun acting on the big screen and filming him on the set are two different feelings.

Xu Anhua has been famous for Zhang Yuanjun for a long time. He has watched all Zhang Yuanjun's movies, and now that he is working with him, he feels that this young man is really awesome.

She had never underestimated Zhang Yuanjun. After all, he was the winner of Golden Rooster, Golden Statue, and Cannes Best Actor. No matter how arrogant a director is, he would value such an actor. Xu Anhua had high expectations for Zhang Yuanjun, but Zhang Yuanjun's performance on the scene was even higher than she expected. .

He's so photographable.

His face is very beautiful in the camera, and it is easy to shoot from any angle, especially his front face. Xu Anhua especially likes to take a close-up of Zhang Yuanjun’s face. He is very handsome, but not the handsomeness of a young and sunny boy. He is a handsome boy. A handsome man with a lot of stories. Although he is only 26 years old, when you see his face, you will be willing to believe that this man has many stories.

This is the "story sense" that many directors require of actors' images. Some actors are beautiful and photogenic, but directors and audiences cannot read the story or taste them on their faces.

Brother Hu is such an actor. He is very beautiful, but when he is on camera, he has no sense of story, or few viewers are interested in his story.

Another counter-example is of course Zhou Xun. This face is often not associated with beauty, but when she appears on the screen, the audience will be attracted to her.

"Ka!" Xu Anhua shouted, "Okay."

After a week of shooting, the crew finally completed the only special effects shot in the whole movie, where the protagonist is sitting at home playing a holographic projection game.In the feature film, the protagonist will have two scenes of playing games, but the actual filming was completed together.

This shot will be immediately sent to a Korean special effects company for production. Unfortunately, the domestic special effects company cannot produce the effect the crew wants for the time being.

Zhang Yuanjun stood up from the sofa chair on the set, took the coffee from Xiao Zhao, and walked to the director to watch the replay.

"It's so silly, like this." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "I did this and this to the air. Hey, hey, hey." Zhang Yuanjun learned the movements of playing games in the play again.

Xu Anhua smiled and said: "As expected of the Best Actor at Cannes, filming was so easy. I would have met you 20 years earlier, and filming wouldn't have been so hard."

Huo Tingxiao, the crew's art director and production designer who was in the same room, said: "He was so big 20 years ago," making a shorter comparison, "Where can you find him?"

Xu Anhua praised: "Don't you think he feels a bit like Tony Leung when he was young?"

Huo Tingxiao said: "Tony Leung was not as exaggerated when he was 26 years old. It was not until Tony Leung met Wang Jiawei when he was 30 that he became enlightened in his acting skills."

"'Chungking Express'?" Xu Anhua said.

"It should be later. After "Happy Together" in 97, Tony Leung became today's Tony Leung, and then "In the Mood for Love"." Huo Tingxiao and Xu Anhua discussed.

Xu Anhua nodded and agreed with Huo Tingxiao's views on Liang Chaowei.

Zhang Yuanjun was a little embarrassed by such praise and said with a smile: "I have never met a director like Wang Jiawei."

"Times have changed now," Xu Anhua said, "there can no longer be directors like Wang Jiawei." She is deeply involved in art films and has a deep understanding of the industry. The difficulties faced by Chinese art films are greater than imagined.

But he smiled at Zhang Yuanjun and said, "But there is still an actor like you. Okay, let's shoot a few more scenes, and don't let you say that I don't work for the money when I leave."

At noon today, the Venice International Film Festival officially announced the shortlist for each section of this year's film festival, and Xu Anhua's "Sister Peach" was listed in the main competition section.

At that time, Xu Anhua would fly to Venice to attend the film festival, and the crew of "Her" had to temporarily close the filming.

In order to take care of the crew of "Her" as much as possible, Xu Anhua has decided not to attend the opening ceremony of the film festival. How many more days can she shoot for "Her", but she will attend the premiere of "Sister Tao" on September 9 no matter what.

As an investor, Zhang Yuanjun certainly hopes that Xu Anhua will not go to Venice and concentrate on filming "Her" in China, but he really can't say this. I believe that even those who know a little bit about movies can't say this.

"Her" has a lot of indoor scenes. As long as it persists, the crew can shoot many more sets of shots every day.

Xu Anhua thought so and did so, and he took the lead in doing so.She said it would take at least a week to go to Venice. Needless to say, the crew was shut down for a week. Needless to say, she suffered losses. She could only take advantage of the one month left to shoot a few more scenes. After all, the crew was shut down because of her. To leave.

This was a hardship for the whole team. They were already very nervous during filming, but under Xu Anhua's encouragement, their daily working hours were extended.It wasn't until August 8, when Liu Yifei went south from the capital to visit her boyfriend in the Magic City, that she discovered that Zhang Yuanjun was thinner than when she turned on the camera.

Xu Anhua smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have tormented him like this in a month."

Liu Yifei didn't care: "It's okay, I don't feel bad."

"You are so heartless," Zhang Yuanjun shook off Liu Yifei's hand, "It's a shame that I was on the set and worried that something would happen to you playing Yunmei."

"Yifei plays Yunmei?" Xu Anhua then learned that Liu Yifei played "Four Generations Under One Roof", "It must be no problem. I saw you play "Blind City" in Hong Kong Island at that time, and your performance was good."

The original version of "Blind City" was a Cantonese version arranged by Wang Xiaoying. After it caused a sensation in Hong Kong Island, a Mandarin version was released. At that time, Liu Yifei also went to Hong Kong Island to perform with the crew.

"I was still very nervous on the first day of the performance, but the performance became smoother and smoother after I got into the role." This sense of immersion fascinated Liu Yifei.

"You haven't been performing for a month, why are you here today?"

"I have a day off every Tuesday, otherwise even a tough person wouldn't be able to stand it if I work for a month." Liu Yifei said.

Is Liu Yifei’s visit to the crew considered a visit or a return to the crew?

It's hard to say, but she really didn't play on the set today. Instead, she held her own script and stood outside the camera to read her lines and act as a scene for her boyfriend.

"Is this how you performed without dialogue for more than a month?" At 3 o'clock in the morning, the crew finished work, and Liu Yifei returned to the room and asked.

"Most of the time, yes. There are also a few times when our female assistant director stands next to the machine like you and reads lines."

"I'm sorry." Liu Yifei touched her boyfriend's face apologetically.

"It's okay." Zhang Yuanjun held his girlfriend's hand, "Hey? Where did you get this necklace?"

"Doesn't it look good?" Liu Yifei stretched her neck slightly.This is a gold necklace with a very ordinary style. The pendant is a sunflower the size of a little finger.

Liu Yifei collects jewelry, and she prefers a more exaggerated style. This kind of modest style does not appeal to her.

"My mother gave all this to you?" Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

"On the day of the performance, your mother brought a group of executives from your hotel to watch the performance. She gave me this as a gift after the performance. I initially said I didn't want it, but she insisted on giving it to me, saying that my sister-in-law also has it, and I deserve it."

"Do you know the origin of this necklace?" Zhang Yuanjun said, "This is a set of pure gold jewelry, a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a ring that the three of us bought together when my mother turned 50. Earrings It's at my sister-in-law's place now."

"Then what did you give your father then?"

"The three of us bought him a watch and he is still wearing it." He gave the necklace as a gift.

Zhang Yuanjun packed up his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower. After a while, a voice sounded outside the door: "Sir, do you want service?"

Zhang Yuanjun said inside: "What services do you provide?"

"We have all kinds of services. Please open the door first and I will introduce them to you in detail."

The door opened with a bang, and the waiter Xiao Liu got in with a smile.

　The group is raffling for movie tickets for "Star Wish".
