Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 560 passed

It is of course a luxury to live it all over again.

Liu Yifei filmed from 3 pm to 12 pm with a big belly. She tried thirty-seven times but could not complete the scene.

Liu Yifei cried and shouted after giving birth, and her throat became hoarse.

The director and cinematographer didn't complain because they had anticipated this situation.

However, after the three leading actors left the set and went back to rest, the staff who were cleaning up the scene had some complaints: "They said they had been rehearsing for a month, and they failed thirty-seven times on the first day. It is no different from not rehearsing."

The three actors returned to their respective rooms and were all reflecting on their performance today, especially Liu Yifei. During the rehearsal, she could go through it all over again, but today there were always accidents on the set. Some were the actors' own problems, and some were the crew's fault. question.

However, Liu Yifei knew that the entire focus of the scene was on herself, and in her opinion, it was all her fault.

"Stop thinking nonsense," Zhang Yuanjun asked her to put down the burden. "There were a few times when Teacher He Saifei and I failed to cooperate with you."

Liu Yifei knew, but she still sat in bed in a daze, thinking about what she could improve tomorrow.

Zhang Yuanjun got into her arms and lay on her lap. Liu Yifei touched her husband's head and said, "I'm not anxious at all."

Liu Yifei arrived at the set at 9 a.m. the next day and started putting on makeup. She started filming at p.m. and continued filming until a.m.

A total of 42 items were NGed today, another day of wasted work.

At 8: a.m. the next day, Liu Yifei appeared in the dressing room and started putting on makeup, and at : p.m. the crew started filming.

"Look, the director's "Return" was released, and he dropped "Return" and jumped into our crew."

"So we have to perform better these days," Zhang Yuanjun sat up. "In a few days, Zhang Yimou will go to Cannes to promote "Return". It will take at least four or five days to go back and forth."

After playing it back once, Zhang Yimou remained silent and played it again.

"As soon as I see you, you don't mean what you say." Zhang Yuanjun closed his eyes, enjoying his wife's touch, and said softly, "This shot is so difficult, it could take ten and a half months to shoot."

Because a long shot had to be shot first, and Liu Yifei's makeup time was very long each time, the crew agreed to start work in the afternoon during this period, leaving Liu Yifei to pretend to be pregnant for four or five hours in the morning.

Zhang Yuanjun followed her advice and ran out.

It is unlikely that a literary film will have a large-scale road show like a commercial blockbuster. "The Return" has sold out all the five major ticket stores, so the early road show is enough, and the launch of "Pieces of a Woman" does not waste time.

Liu Yifei was indeed sleepy, so she stopped thinking about it and went to sleep with her husband until dawn.

Liu Yifei said: "I feel very sorry for the director."

In fact, this is also the embarrassing part of "Pieces of a Woman". The start-up time is really not good, just in time for the release of "The Return" and the opening of Cannes.

Zhang Yuanjun yawned: "Go to sleep, it's almost two o'clock, I can hardly open my eyes."

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the entire audience held their breath, waiting for He Saifei's last line:

"Bring the doctor in, go, go."

But there is no way. Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei will participate in FIRST in July, and "Search for the Dragon" will be launched in August. "Pieces of a Woman" must be completed before "Search for the Dragon" starts, so they can only compress the time in this way.

"Ka!" Zhang Yimou shouted, and the three actors squeezed into the director's studio to watch the playback together.

Zhang Yimou did not abandon "Return". Before "Pieces of a Woman" was launched, Zhang Yimou took the "Return" crew to the five major ticket offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei, Guangdong and Sichuan. In the few days since "Pieces of a Woman" was launched, Zhang Yimou does not need to pay special attention to "Return".

"How to say?"

Zhang Yimou propped up his chin and looked at the monitor screen attentively.

The photographer whispered from the side: "This is OK, it can be used."

Zhang Yimou asked him back: "Can it be used?" "It can be used, but it's not a good performance?"

Only then did Zhang Yimou smile: "It's enough if you can use it."

Liu Yifei cried happily and threw herself on her husband's shoulder.

She has been filming for 12 years and has never failed so many times in one scene!

Even when rehearsing plays in the theater, she has never failed so many times!

Three days, 105 times!

Including more than a month of rehearsal, she has performed this scene countless times, and now she has finally passed it.

Zhang Yimou took the lead in applauding Liu Yifei, and the whole crew burst into whistles, applause, and cheers.

Those who didn’t know thought it was finished, but in fact it was just the first scene that had been filmed.

Zhang Yuanjun hugged Liu Yifei and said with a smile: "Your belly is pushing against me."

Liu Yifei raised her head from Zhang Yuanjun's arms, faced the applause of the audience, burst into tears and smiled: "It's not finalized, so I don't want it."

The applause died down. Zhang Yimou did not plan to shoot anymore today and ordered the work to be stopped.

While the staff was cleaning up, the three actors were still sitting in front of the monitor watching the clip with Zhang Yimou again.

Zhang Yimou pointed at the screen and said: "You acted well. I watched it twice and thought you acted well."

Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed to praise her.

"When it's time to explode, it's time to explode. If you don't perform well in a crying scene, it will make people feel fake and too hard. If you perform well, you are like this. Such a long time of rehearsal and preparation has not been in vain. Look here." Zhang Yimou pointed it out to Liu Yifei, "The physical interaction between the two of you gives people a very real feeling."

"A true couple." Zhang Yuanjun smiled.

The four of them read the material twice before finishing it. Zhang Yimou said: "Go and take off your makeup. That's it for today."

"Director, when will you come back?" Tomorrow, Zhang Yimou will go to Cannes.

"I'll be back on the 22nd." Zhang Yimou put away his headphones, "Aren't you going this year?"

"I won't go, I'm too tired." The brand urged the two, including the film festival official, who also sent invitations to the two, but the couple chose to refuse.

"It's okay if you don't go." Zhang Yimou packed up his things and walked out with Zhang Yuanjun, "It's been hard for you these past few days, so take a good rest."

The two separated and Zhang Yuanjun went to remove his makeup.

The camera of the documentary on the set was still not turned off, and the staff around Zhang Yimou said: "Liu Yifei is finally done."

Zhang Yimou smiled: "I'm pretty good to begin with."

After Zhang Yuanjun took off her makeup, she went to Liu Yifei's dressing room. She was lying on the bed in the dressing room and letting the makeup artist remove her belly. Seeing Zhang Yuanjun come in, Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Finally the filming is finished. I've been so ungrateful these past three days that I'm almost stupid."

"That's worth it." Zhang Yuanjun sat by the bed, picked up Liu Yifei's cup, and went to the water dispenser in the corner to get some hot water to drink. "After shooting a 25-minute long shot in three days, any director would have to praise me. efficient."

Not long after, Liu Yifei finished taking off the prosthetic belly, and the two of them walked out together.

It was so late, but there was actually a reporter's car outside the studio.

The two recognized the car on the opposite side, opened the door, got in the car, and left the studio without stopping.
