director of the millennium

Chapter 16 It's Heaven
December 2000, 7.

The first day of filming for "The Night the Comet Came", at 07:30 in the evening.

Except for Chen Jianbin and Yan Danchen, the other six actors gathered in the kitchen of Xiaoyanglou.

Three couples played by six actors are talking and laughing while chatting and preparing dinner for the evening party.

Outside the screen, Wu Yuan and Master Liu invited by Beijing Film Studio are each holding a camera, recording the scenes on the set.

"Did you know?" Zhou Xun held a plate, approached Zeng Li, and said mischievously, "Chen Mei is coming!"

"Um, I don't know." The smile on Zeng Li's face froze.

"Hey, now we have something good to watch." Sun Honglei, who was holding a wine glass, smiled like a bull terrier and teased Chen Kun.

"Chen Mei is coming?" Chen Kun had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"Look at the way you smile." Sun Honglei intensified her teasing.

Chen Kun, who was told what was on his mind, quickly denied: "I'm not smiling, it's not laughing."

It's just that the brighter smile on his face made the rebuttal seem a little pale.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became joyful. Everyone teased Chen Kun, except Zeng Li who smiled reluctantly.

"Very good, click!"

"This one is over!"

Keeping the camera's image on Zeng Li's face, Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Although he is just a new actor who has just graduated from college, Zeng Li really has no choice in terms of acting skills.

Among other things, the students who enrolled in China Opera and Beijing Film Academy in the 90s were much better at acting than their juniors at the same time.

It's not because they have generally worked in the field of drama for several years after graduation.

It is because they have really accepted the systematic four-year undergraduate study.

There are regulations in Chinese opera. Students at school are not allowed to take plays, and they are not allowed to sign contracts with any companies. They must graduate from senior year before they can take plays.

Beiying is a little more relaxed here, but it also stipulates that students are not allowed to take foreign plays before their junior year.

Although there are still occasional students who accept foreign plays, these are all approved by the department director, and only after the students' acting skills have been recognized.

This allows most students to have enough time to study professional knowledge of film and television performance seriously and systematically.

It is true that many people think that in the actor's profession, talent is greater than hard work.

A talented actor whose acting skills easily outperform a mediocre actor who has studied hard for ten years.

However, the Chinese film industry can publish a weekly newsletter, a Zhang Manyu in a few years?
Most of the students who can be admitted to the acting academy are already very talented.

Four years of serious study in an acting academy may not improve their upper limit, but it can ensure their lower limit in acting!

Actors such as Zeng Li, Qin Hailu, Sun Honglei and Chen Kun who have graduated from serious academic courses are very easy for Wu Yuan to use.

Although today is the first day of filming, there is no jerk or discomfort at all. Several actors can quickly enter the acting state and present as perfect a performance as possible.

I can't say that he's at ease, but he's definitely much better than most of the new actors Wu Yuan has seen since 2010 in his dream!

You know, Zeng Li and the others are also newcomers now!
"Okay, everyone, get ready for the next scene where Sister Danchen and Teacher Chen Jianbin will appear!"

Wu Yuan sat back behind the monitor and began to check the footage he had just taken.

Because the script of "The Night the Comet Came" was very complicated, and most of the content happened in one scene, Wu Yuan chose to shoot in sequence this time.

Anyway, there is no trouble with transitions, he can completely follow the script and shoot from beginning to end, which is not only convenient for the actors to figure out the logic, but also convenient for him, the director, to review the film.

The main filming tonight was from the beginning of the script to the moment when the comet passed by and everyone's mobile phones were broken. It was about 20 minutes of plot content.

Five hours, 20 minutes of feature film shooting, is more than enough by any calculation.

For one night, Wu Yuan repeatedly started filming, NG, lectured, started filming again, passed...

The time passed quickly in one piece of piecemeal shooting after another.

Wu Yuan focused all his attention on filming, but he didn't notice that several actors frequently took out their mobile phones or watches to check the time during the intervals between filming.

The look Chen Kun looked at Wu Yuan became more and more anxious.

Fortunately, everyone is a professional actor, and things outside the scene will not affect the scene. With the full efforts of the eight people, the material that was originally expected to be filmed until 12:11 was shot at 20:[-] It's over.

"Okay, the last one passed!"

Wu Yuan put down the script rolled into a trumpet shape in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

The first day of shooting went very smoothly and felt good.

He waved his hand and shouted with a smile on his face: "It's time to call it a day, don't move anything in the building, everyone just leave!"

However, after hearing the words that they could call it a day, none of the actors who should have left the set happily left.

Chen Kun and Zhou Xun turned around and got into a utility room on the second floor that was not used for filming, and pushed out a dining car from inside.

The European-style chandelier hanging high on the ceiling was suddenly turned off by the producer Chen Yuan.

The remaining actors, including the photography teacher from Beijing Film Studio, all looked at Wu Yuan.

They took out several hidden firework tubes and set them up into the sky, blasting out a gorgeous ribbon in mid-air.

"Director, happy birthday!"

Zeng Li and Qin Hailu clapped and cheered with all smiles on their faces.

Wu Yuan, who was astonished, finally realized that he had been busy with his first movie recently, and forgot about his birthday.

After his grandfather passed away, no one celebrated Wu Yuan's birthday anymore.

He himself didn't have such a leisurely heart, and his birthday was not a happy day for him.

But today is different. Today is his 18th birthday, the day he officially comes of age.

Adulthood is really a familiar yet unfamiliar word.

Wu Yuan looked a little dazed, just watching Chen Kun and Zhou Xun slowly walking towards him pushing the cake, his eyes gradually became moist.

"Yuan'er, I wish you a happy birthday. I hope you will be happy every day in the future!"

While talking, Chen Kun took out a guitar from nowhere.

Before Wu Yuan could react, Chen Kun's not-so-great singing voice rang out in the small western-style building.

"Yes, I see sunshine everywhere, happiness floating over the city."

"The new century comes like a dream and makes me feel warm."

"Is your old pocket watch still running?"

"Can you still wear your old leather shoes?"

"There's a Future cigarette here, don't you want to try it?"

Zhou Xun naughtily reached out and touched Wu Yuan’s face, which was still confused, and he laughed and sang:
"Tomorrow morning, I guess the sun will be fine~"

"I want to clean myself and sell all the old ones~"

"Oh, this is great, come on, Pentium Computer~"

"Let them think instead of me~"

Everyone gathered around Wu Yuan, looked at him with smiling eyes, and joined in the chorus.

"Put on new clothes and cut your hair~"

"Take it easy, Windows98~"

"Pretty dress, it's heaven~"

"Our life is as sweet as sugar!"

Seeing everyone's smiling and warm eyes, Wu Yuan's face also burst into a bright smile, and his heart was filled with emotion.

"Put on new clothes and cut your hair~"

"Take it easy, Windows98~"

"There will be no more pain in the future~"

"How cool is our future!"

Today is January 2000, 7.

It was the first day of filming of "The Night the Comet Came", and it was also Wu Yuan's 18th birthday.

He will never forget this day.

On this day, he and his friends boarded a train named "New Century" and drove all the way to the future.

"lalalawu~, walk your way forward~"

"Guess what gift I will give you in the future~"

"lalalawu~, throw away your old schoolbag~"

“Oh my international cool play boy~”

　The song "New Boy" by Pu Shu was included in Pu Shu's album "Go to 1999" released in 2000. It became extremely popular in 2000.

　　This album reminds me of Charlotte's words: "Hackberry is not popular, I am going to be popular!"
