China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 78
"Quick! It's almost in place, ready to start up!"

On the surface, Zhou Yutang was communicating with Wen Muye, but in fact, he had been paying attention to the situation there.

Sensitively noticing that Liu Shishi's mood seemed to have reached a critical point, he decisively ordered the machine to be turned on.

"The lens is fine."

"The radio is fine."

"Lighting is fine."

"Clear the scene, be quiet, and prepare for a test shoot!"

A bright light flashed through Wen Muye's eyes behind the lens, Lin Yufen also nodded, and the shooting started immediately.

The results of the college entrance examination are released.

But Liu Shishi failed the exam.

At this time, Liu Shishi seemed to have entered a very delicate emotional state.

Thinking of her gloomy future, Liu Shishi's heart was full of confusion and loss. Zhou Yutang was by her side, but seemed far away from her.

All the usual strong shells collapsed in an instant.

Vulnerable, sad, wronged.

All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined.

Liu Shishi didn't cry immediately, but his eyes quietly accumulated mist, and he hugged his knees with his hands, sobbing silently.

She also turned slightly sideways, not wanting Zhou Yutang to see her embarrassed appearance.

But her slight sobbing sound seemed like a sharp knife had already been pierced into Zhou Yutang's heart.

Zhou Yutang's movements and eyes obviously have a process of becoming softer, looking at the girl with a ponytail beside him, his eyes are full of distress.

"I can only read, I can only read."

In Liu Shishi's intermittent voice, her emotions were on the verge of collapse. Tears slid down her cheeks like broken pearls: "From junior high school to high school, I only knew how to study, but in the end I still failed in the exam."

Zhou Yutang frowned slightly, and pursed his lips tightly.

But without saying a word, he just took out the clean handkerchief in his pocket and handed it to the girl with the single ponytail.

Seeing that the girl with one ponytail was still crying, and the handkerchief was soaked with tears, he took off his clean white T-shirt and handed it over.

Staring sideways at the haggard appearance of that gentle and delicate cheek, Zhou Yutang hesitated again and again, and finally said:

"No matter what university you go to, there is something I want to tell you."

"Don't tell me you like me now."

"I like you, you already knew that."

Zhou Yutang looked a little helpless and lonely, Liu Shishi was still crying: "Then what do you want to tell me?"

say what?
Needless to say.

The camera cuts closer, and Zhou Yutang's palm rests on top of Liu Shishi's trembling shoulder, and his hand is also trembling slightly.

It seems that he wants to caress the shoulder of a girl with a single ponytail, but he hesitates, expressing that kind of youthful hesitation to the fullest.

at last.

The trembling hand still fell slightly.

He patted Liu Shishi on the back gently.

what do i want to say
Maybe I don't need to say anything, I just don't want you to be sad.

"Perfect! Perfect!"

This passage made Wen Muye behind the monitor watch repeatedly, with an extremely excited expression.

Zhou Yutang is a ghost, right?
Even Liu Shishi can be trained to be an acting school?

cry!Cry hard!

That's what I want!

..............................

In addition to filming, Zhou Yutang is also paying attention to the information of the domestic film and television industry.

Recently, "Certificate of Voting" and "Assembly" have gone crazy, and Master Xing's "Yangtze River No. [-]" has also started to issue promotional drafts.

In September, there was another major event that caused a sensation in the film industry.

Director Li An once again won the Golden Lion Award in Venice with the film "Lust, Caution".

After all, this is already the second time for him to win the Golden Lion trophy. As early as 2005, Li An won it once with the movie "Brokeback Mountain" depicting cowboys in the American West.

The news spread back to the country, the industry was boiling, and the media was carnival.

Last year, Kechang Jia won the Golden Lion trophy for "The Good Man in Three Gorges". Together with this year's Li An, he has achieved the Venetian Sanlianzhuang of Chinese directors.

"Brother Tang, when will "Lust, Caution" be released in China?"

During the meal time of the film crew, Zhang Ruojun turned to ask while he was grilling the rice while reading the overwhelming headlines.

"Probably November."

"Shouldn't we be wrapping up by then?"

Zhang Ruojun's face suddenly revealed a longing look.

"According to this progress, it will almost be completed by the end of September."

After receiving Zhou Yutang's answer, Zhang Ruojun lifted his spirits and said eloquently: "Yu Tang, the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture, we must go and study hard together."

"Are you going to study? I don't even want to expose you."

Zhou Yutang glanced at it, "You don't think those clips can be kept after they're released, do you?"

Now "Lust, Caution" is very popular on the Internet, mainly because of the gossip from an insider. It is said that Tang Wei and Liang Chaowei, one of the four heavenly kings of Xiangjiang, contributed a super-large-scale performance in this movie. Attracted many LSPs.

"Then are you going or not?"

"Go, I'm mainly studying Director Li's shooting techniques."

"."

..............................

In the days that followed, the shooting proceeded in an orderly manner.

Liu Shishi is a truly immersive experience of the role of Liu Jiayi, and the emotions are well brewed.

Cai Yinong came to visit the set in late September, and that day happened to be filming an important scene.

It is the most classic part in the rain.

The boys' dormitory is downstairs.

Artificial downpour.

Lin Yufen and Wen Muye looked very excited.

At this time, Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi were very involved in the drama.

Zhou Yutang didn't mention it.

His chest undulated slightly, and he was self-righteous in a daze.

He tried his best to restrain his emotions, but he was still uncontrollably excited.

In order to attract the attention of his sweetheart, he naively holds fighting competitions that seem passionate but actually ridiculous to him. In order to prove his strength, he fights with others badly, but is not understood by the person he likes.

At this time, Liu Shishi was also full of grievances and helplessness.

"childish!"

"Why do you keep denying things that are important to me?"

"Is it important to you to hurt yourself?"

"I'm naive! I've been chasing you for so long!"

"Then don't chase after me!"

Liu Shishi pursed his lips tightly, his dark and bright eyes gradually turned red.

It was raining heavily, Zhou Yutang turned and left without looking back, Liu Shishi immediately chased him out.

The girl with the single ponytail stood in the rain, looked at Zhou Yutang's receding back, with tears in her eyes, tried hard not to let the tears flow down, and cried out in a crying voice:

"Fool!"

"Yeah, I'm an idiot!"

"idiot!"

"A big idiot will chase you for so long!"

"You don't understand anything!"

"I just don't know anything!"

Zhou Yutang went away alone in the rain, and Liu Shishi stood where he was, weeping uncontrollably, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

"Crack! It's over!"

Lin Yufen behind the monitor took off her glasses and wiped her eyes.

Female directors are always a little emotional, but it can make the experienced Lin Yufen shed tears, which is enough to show that this scene is full of emotions.

On the other side, Wen Muye was also crying.

This scene is really wonderful, and it perfectly interprets what youth is and what growth is.

It also reminded him of the girl he met and missed when he was adolescence.

Girls are always more mature than boys of the same age, which is probably the cruelest thing in adolescence.

"Okay, okay!"

Only the performance director Zhang Songwen's eyes were shining, and he even grinned and showed his big white teeth.

It's not that he has no heart.

Instead, Mr. Zhang stood in the position of acting director of the crew, and was very satisfied with the performances of Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi.

In his opinion, this segment should be one of the best shots in the whole play.

"Shi Shi, quick, towel."

Assistant Tao Zi had been waiting by the side with a dry towel, and trotted over when the shooting was over.

Zhou Yutang also took the towel that Zhao Liying handed over, and while wiping it, he discussed with Wen Muye and Lin Yufen behind the monitor.

After seeing the shooting effect, it is determined that there are no problems in all aspects.

The two assistant directors were very satisfied.

Zhou Yutang was also very satisfied.

Liu Shishi's immersive experience style is really effective, with real emotional input, the emotional explosion of this scene, and even Zhou Yutang made a big breakthrough.

"How is this done?"

Cai Yinong, who watched the whole scene, opened his mouth wide enough to stuff a goose egg into it.

The old aunt who has enough food and clothing by herself, all she wants to do is to make the Tang people bigger and stronger, so she doesn't pay attention to what is young or not.

At this time, Mr. Cai was only shocked by Liu Shishi's acting skills and found it incredible.

Liu Shishi was brought out by her alone, how many catties and taels does Cai Yinong still not understand?
But as far as the scene just now is concerned, I really can't find anything wrong with it. The crying scene in the rain really surprised her deeply.

how to say?

It feels like it's not acting
"Xiao Tao, what's going on?"

Cai Yinong first praised Liu Shishi, and then couldn't wait to find Shi Shi's assistant Xiaotao.

"I do not know."

Xiaotao was a little confused, and shook her head: "It seems to have something to do with Zhou Yutang. A few days ago, Director Zhou held a meeting with Sister Fen, Brother Wen, and Teacher Zhang to teach Shi Shi what kind of experience school."

"Zhou Yutang still has this ability?"

Cai Yinong was overjoyed, and ran over and pulled Zhou Yutang to ask: "Shi Shi has improved a lot, and the effect is better than that of acting classes. Can Hu Ge also learn from the experiential school? Aren't you good friends?"

"."

Zhou Yutang said speechlessly, "I really can't do anything about it."

As we all know, Director Zhou only has a way of training actresses.

As for male actors, let them fend for themselves...

"Then how did Shi Shi improve his acting skills so quickly?"

Cai Yinong asked persistently.

"Maybe Shi Shi is a hidden acting school."

"."

Now it was Cai Yinong's turn to be speechless.

She is not blind.

She has paid attention to Liu Shishi's previous films, and has communicated with the director many times in private.

Several directors said it very euphemistically.

But the final conclusion is very unified. Liu Shishi, who has not received professional training, is not good at acting.

Zhou Yutang talked nonsense with Cai Yinong, but he knew it in his heart.

The reason why Liu Shishi was able to enter the role of Liu Jiayi in such an immersive experience is also the effect of his deliberate alienation in reality during this period of time.

The male and female protagonists in the play are in a state of mutual incomprehension.

Liu Shishi is very involved.

But filming was fun for a while, and now I am a little worried after filming.

"Yu Tang."

Wen Muye leaned over and whispered: "This scene is over, why don't you go coax Shi Shi?"

He's honest, but not an emotional idiot.

Every day by Zhou Yutang's side, I have already noticed that Liu Shishi and Zhou Yutang are a bit ambiguous.

Just a while ago, when Zhou Yutang was talking to her about the play, Liu Shishi's eyes were almost drawn. Could there be something missing?
"Dogs don't coax."

Zhou Yutang said calmly on the surface: "These little girls don't need to be coaxed, just let them adjust themselves."

"And this operation?"

Wen Muye gave a thumbs up in shock, expressing his admiration.

...........................

"Are you there?"

After work was over, Zhao Liying was a little flattered when she received Zhou Yutang's news.

The identity gap between the two is too great.

Not only has Zhou Yutang become an instant hit, but he is now a film investor + screenwriter + leading actor in a movie. He is the second female lead in a movie as he puts it nicely, but in fact he is a supporting actress who doesn't have many roles.

"Boss Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhao Liying was a little hesitant about how to reply.

It was originally called Director Zhou, but after thinking about it, Wen Muye and Lin Liang, the deputy directors of the crew, sometimes called him Boss Zhou, and they also called him Boss Zhou.

She was not so narcissistic that she felt that Zhou Yutang would take a fancy to her, and she knew in her heart that there must be other things.

"You are Shi Shi's friend, just call me Yu Tang."

Zhou Yutang soon received a reply: "How is Shi Shi?"

"fine."

Zhao Liying glanced at Liu Shishi and knew it in her heart.

Oh yes.

During this time, Zhou Yutang didn't seem to care much about Shi Shi. When Shi Shi came back, he was very depressed and his emotions were always sensitive.

Now the clever little girl Zhao has a little aftertaste. She knows that Zhou Yutang is helping Liu Shishi to brew her emotions. After filming, she knows that she has come to care.

"more specific."

"At the beginning, Shi Shi seemed very sad. After coming back, she got better, but compared to usual, she talked a lot less. Every day she read the lines in the play, and she felt that she regarded herself as Liu Jiayi."

Zhao Liying reported what she observed to Zhou Yutang one by one.

She has a good relationship with Liu Shishi, but Zhou Yutang is the big boss in this crew, not to mention he is also concerned about Liu Shishi's situation.

Looking at Liu Shishi's beautiful face without a smile, Zhao Liying sighed quietly: "Boss Zhou, Yu Tang, you are miserable. I often chat with Shi Shi. I remember she said that she will not lose her temper easily. But it’s hard to coax when you’re angry, and it’s basically a state of ignoring others.”

"That's it."

Zhou Yutang's voice sounded a little helpless: "Then what do you say?"

How to do?
I don't know what to do.

It's not me who made Liu Shishi angry.

Zhao Liying rolled her eyes, but politely thought of a way for Zhou Yutang: "Boss, I think you should find an opportunity to apologize to Shi Shi. Be sincere. It's all for making a movie. She will definitely understand you."

"Well, I'll give you and Shi Shi a vacation tomorrow, and you take her out for a stroll."

Brother, I don’t have a show tomorrow, okay, I’m just doing odd jobs on the set.
The corner of Zhao Liying's mouth twitched slightly, and she asked tentatively, "Boss, what are your plans?"

"You go shopping first, eat hot pot at night, go to KTV after eating hot pot, and I will pay for the whole consumption. The main thing is to adjust Shi Shi's state, not to be tense all the time, and send me a message when you arrive at KTV."

"."

..............................

Since I joined the group, I have a shooting plan every day.

Coupled with Zhou Yutang, who can be called a strict studio tyrant, the filming of this movie was actually quite hard.

Especially the last few crying scenes of myself consumed a large part of the shooting time.

The way Zhou Yutang treated her really made her a little bit disappointed and sad at first, but when the director said the play was over, Liu Shishi was relieved.

Finally, I didn't hold back the crew.

Looking at Zhou Yutang, who had to cut his hair without saying a word because of the filming, and ran to the back of the surveillance mirror to see the effect of the shooting without even having time to wipe himself wet, he suddenly understood everything.

He really paid a lot to make this movie well.

Not only did she invest a large amount of money, but she also ran around to make connections, almost betting everything to ask herself to play the leading role.

During this period of time in the crew, everyone was very busy, but Zhou Yutang was undoubtedly the busiest one.

Although there were two assistant directors, the director of photography and the art director to help in the shooting, Zhou Yutang had to nod in person for each shot.

So Liu Shishi can also understand that he deliberately alienated for a period of time in order to help him get into the drama.

Experience school, what kind of experience school is it if you don’t immerse yourself into the characters in the play?

What reason do you have to lose your temper?
At that time, what Liu Jiayi and Zhou Ziyu wanted was a feeling of incoherence and estrangement.

Forget it, it's useless to think about it.

Today the production crew is on holiday, and eating hot pot with Xiaoying is something to be happy about.

Liu Shishi packed his things.

When girls go out to play, earphones, mouthwash, wet wipes, sunscreen, lipstick and other things are essential.

There was a sudden pause, and he put another delicate box into the bag.

Hmph, if you see Zhou Yutang, give him a surprise.

..............................

Haoledi KTV.

Small box.

Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi rinsed their mouths in the bathroom, and chatted about their relaxing day.

After shopping around the street for an afternoon, I bought some trinkets and contributed 50 yuan to the claw machine. In the end, I caught two cute and ugly bear dolls.

But after being in the crew for so long, it can be regarded as a very enjoyable time, especially the Shuduxiang hot pot that I ate at night, it was delicious.

The two girls, Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying, both prefer spicy flavors.

After eating, I arrived at the small KTV room that had been reserved in advance. Before singing a few songs, Zhao Liying went out to answer the phone, but she didn't come back after ten minutes. Liu Shishi wanted to call someone, but Zhao Liying called first. He came over and said that the production crew suddenly had urgent matters to find her, so he took a taxi back first.

Liu Shishi felt a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions. It's normal for the filming crew to make up shots and so on.

It was just that she was bored by being alone, she packed her things and got up to leave, but just as she reached the door, she almost bumped into someone.

Look up.

Standing at the door was a tall, lonely and forbidding figure.

Today's Zhou Yutang is wearing a peaked cap, a pair of flat glasses, a big mask on his face, and a high-quality cotton T-shirt with a solid color Mobius ring pattern of the same style as the TV series, and simple jeans Pair it with simple and refreshing Vans canvas shoes.

"Why are you here?"

"I just had a meeting with Sister Xiaoping, and Sister Fen was anxious to ask Xiao Zhao to take a shot. I heard that you are here alone. I guess you can't stay alone, so I came to pick you up."

Zhou Yutang answered without blushing.

"I can go back myself."

Liu Shishi deliberately turned his head away from Zhou Yutang, but his heart beat several times unsatisfactorily.

Li Xiaoping from Guangguang came to the production team today, and Zhou Yutang seemed to have a meeting with her to discuss the progress of the filming, so he came to pick him up.

really.

He cares about himself.
