Actor: My Entertainment Era

This year's Beijing Film Festival gave Zhang Yuanjun a great honor.

In the "Focus Figures" screening unit of the film festival, the film festival officials selected the works of two filmmakers for screening. One is the Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda. During the film festival, eight of his films will be screened, including classic works such as "Deeper than the Sea", "Still Walking", and "Our Little Sister". The other focus figure is Zhang Yuanjun. The film festival will screen five of his films including "Love Has a Next Life", "Detachment", "Her", "The Invisible Guest" and "Redemption".

Moreover, after the ticket sales for the screening unit started, the first batch of movie tickets for the two focus characters were quickly sold out.

Zhang Yuanjun had a knot in his heart. He didn't like entering this kind of honorary screening unit.

It seems as if he is in his seventies or eighties.

In fact, Hirokazu Koreeda is only 55 years old, which is the golden creative age for a director.

Zhang Yuanjun thinks that it is best not to enter units like the Master Screenings if you are under 60 years old.

Zhang Yuanjun is only 32 years old!
Liu Yifei was happy to see this: "This is a recognition of you. You should be the youngest 'focus person'."

"I think so." Zhang Yuanjun wouldn't pay attention to this.

Liu Yifei expanded: "Think about it, 30 years later, in Cannes, at the Masters Show, Zhang Yuanjun. This is also an honor."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Thirty years from now, I will probably be able to receive a lifetime achievement award."

Liu Yifei laughed and said, "You're getting more and more shameless the more you talk. You've even thought about the Lifetime Achievement Award."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "You said that I would be in the Cannes Masters Festival in 30 years, so it is not impossible for me to win a Lifetime Achievement Award."

This is a joke between Zhang Yuanjun and his wife.

Zhang Yuanjun reposted a Weibo post on the movie channel reporting that tickets for Zhang Yuanjun's film were sold out, saying, "Thank you for the support, see you in Beijing on April 4."

The Beijing Film Festival has given such a big honor, Zhang Yuanjun must take advantage of it. He will attend the red carpet of the film festival's opening ceremony to bring some popularity to the film festival.

At the same time, Liu Yifei also regards this film festival as her first appearance platform after her postpartum comeback, and her stylist has already ordered a dress for her.

By the way, Liu Yifei's body shape has now returned to normal, except that her bust is a little fuller due to breastfeeding, everything else has returned to normal.

Some fans who got the studio schedule in advance have already spread the news about the young lady in the fan circle.

"On April 4, Yifei made her first comeback after giving birth, on the red carpet of the Beijing Film Festival opening ceremony, with Zhang Laosan."

"The young lady is coming back for her first show, and the studio has 10 tickets for the show."

The two people's staff contacted the official staff of the film festival, and Zhang Yuanjun was still filming in Jinling.

After working through three late nights, Wang Yanhui finally finished filming the interrogation scene.

But today is another night scene, and it is Zhang Changlin who is on the run and comes to Cheng Yong to get money so he can run away.

Wang Yanhui obeyed the crew's arrangement, but cursed: "It's late again? I'm in my 50s and almost , you should show some respect."

Wen Muye smiled and said, "Teacher Yang is 60 years old. He stayed with us until 3 o'clock yesterday and he didn't complain at all."

Zhang Yuanjun coaxed Wang Yanhui: "You are an old artist, those who are capable should work harder and endure more."

Wang Yanhui said: "You have been taking care of the children too much recently, and you talk to people in a coaxing tone."

Zhang Yuanjun really didn't notice it and smiled, "Ah, is that so? Sorry, sorry."

"Look, it's like this again. You didn't do anything wrong, so why should you feel sorry?" Wang Yanhui joked.

Everyone laughed for a while and prepared to start work. During the preparation period, Zhang Yuanjun and Wang Yanhui checked the lines and made an OK gesture, indicating that they could start working at any time.

First, take a shot of Wang Yanhui. Zhang Yuanjun lights a cigarette and stands in front of the window to set up a stage for him.

"Ready, Action!"

"Hey," the camera was pointed at Wang Yanhui's face. He looked at Zhang Yuanjun smoking by the window, "I heard that you didn't make any money this time. Hey, that's pretty righteous.

"But I have to give you some advice. I've been selling medicine for so many years and I've discovered that there's only one disease in the world: poverty. You can't cure this disease. You can't cure it. Forget it."

"Cut!" Wen Muye called for a stop. This scene was shot in Cheng Yong's small office, where the camera couldn't be moved, so a single camera was used for shooting, and each shot needed to be polished.

After watching the playback, Wen Muye was dissatisfied with the lighting: "Why is it yellow? Didn't I say we should use white light? White light is hitting the actor's yellow face. Using yellow light to hit the yellow face, how can it be seen? Change it quickly."

After saying that, he walked into the studio and looked at the lamp on Cheng Yong's desk: "Change it quickly, I want white light." He looked at the environment again and found something he was not satisfied with:
"This ashtray is too small. Let's change it to a bigger one, a glass one, the big one can be bought at the convenience store. This table needs to be older, it's still too new." Although the camera will not capture the ashtray and the table top, Wen Muye still requires these details to be in place.

Props went to buy ashtrays, and Wen Muye took the lead and worked with several staff members to make the table look old. They mainly used keys, knives, pen tips and other tools to scratch the table top, and then polished it with sandpaper to create an old feel.

Wen Muye came up with another idea. He poured all the cigarette butts and ashes in the ashtray onto the table, then swept it clean, poured it out again, and swept it again. He repeated this many times just to make the table look older.

The props were replaced with a new ashtray, and Zhang Yuanjun poured all the cigarette butts and ashes in the old ashtray into it.

While working, he said, "I am a non-smoker, but I smoke two packs a day just to film your scene. After filming the smoking scene, I go home without taking a shower first. My daughter won't let me hold her. She cries if I touch her."

"You talk about sons and daughters every three sentences." Wen Muye was almost annoyed by him.

Assistant director Ma Jun also said: "The whole world knows that you have twins, a boy and a girl. Don't brag about it."

Photographer Wang Boxue said: "I'll set a rule for you from now on: you are not allowed to mention children on the set."

Zhang Yuanjun was not happy: "You are just jealous, jealous that I gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl."

While chatting and laughing, the set was ready and the filming continued.

We shot with a single camera all night, starting at dusk and ending at 11pm, and finally finished the scene.

"Everyone has worked hard. Pack up and go back to have a good rest." Wen Muye himself was yawning and put some eye drops in himself.

"I put the fruits here." The life producer would put a box of fruits for Wen Muye next to the monitor every day.

"It must be Zhang Yuanjun and Wang Yanhui who secretly ate them." There were only a few leading actors in the crew who dared to smell Muye's fruit.

Zhang Yuanjun said, "I've been smoking all night, and I can't have some of your fruit? You're so stingy."

Zhang Yuanjun removed her makeup, packed up, and went home.

The first thing he did when he got home was to take a shower, as he said, otherwise his wife and children would not play with him.

When he finished his bath, the child was still sleeping.

Since they were shooting a night scene today, they could start work later tomorrow, so Zhang Yuanjun brought the two children to sleep next to the couple.

But Zhang Yuanjun couldn't fall asleep for a while: "I smoked more than 20 cigarettes in one night. Although I threw them away after taking two puffs, I am still very energetic now."

The two children slept hand in hand, and the couple sat on the bed whispering private words. The April night in Jinling was quiet. (End of this chapter)
