director of the millennium

Wu Yuan didn't find Peng Yuchang emo.

In other words, even if he is emo, Wu Yuan wouldn't care.

When the director is on the set, he really doesn't have time to play the role of a psychologist.

Just like after a boss scolds an employee who has not done his job well, it is usually impossible for him to comfort him in a gentle manner. It all depends on the employee to regulate his emotions on his own.

But what’s good about Wu Yuan is that he has Liu Yifei, the good guy, to help him appease the actors who have been scolded.

At least as long as Liu Yifei is on the crew, no matter how he scolds the actors, Liu Yifei can always comfort them and help them relieve their emotions, so that Wu Yuan's reputation in the industry at least does not become a "set tyrant"!
Come to think of it, Wu Yuan himself was quite strange. In the first few years after his debut, he actually didn't have such a bad temper. He always spoke softly on the set and rarely got angry.

Even if what the actor did really made him angry, he could suppress his anger and try to communicate in a relatively calm tone.

But in recent years, he has become increasingly unable to suppress his anger. Whenever an actor does a bad job, he will use a loudspeaker to criticize him, whether in Hollywood or China.

In this regard, Wu Yuan could only regard it as the negative impact brought about by his rising fame and status.

After all, he was still a rookie in the first few years after his debut, and the actors he used were all senior actors. It was really not good, and he didn't dare to get angry with these seniors.

It’s different now. The actors he uses now are either artists from the company. Even the first-line actors in the circle can’t put on airs in front of him.

When no one can make him speak softly, his temper will naturally develop.

It’s hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but Wu Yuan thinks it’s good anyway, and sighs again that it’s a good thing that he is a director rather than an actor.

If you were an actor, even if you achieved a status like Liu Dehua, you would still be scolded by the director if you didn't perform well on the set.

But he is a director, and a successful one at that, so no one dares to look at him harshly. Even if he doesn't have the company called Guangying Times and can only find investors to make films, the investors can only coax him and definitely won't dare to lose their temper with him.

This is very cool!

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan's originally angry mood immediately calmed down, and he was able to look at the current difficult filming of "Ready Player One" with a normal attitude.

The director's mood improved. Even though the crew's progress was still bumpy, it was much better than the low-pressure atmosphere just now. The staff's movements became steadier, and the actors were more engaged. Everything got better.

"You're quite quick at adjusting to your emotions." During the break in filming, Liu Yifei slid over to Wu Yuan and said jokingly, "I thought I had to calm you down."

"I didn't expect you to calm down so quickly."

"However, you were really angry during this filming, much more angry than before. Sometimes I was scared. You were like two different people."

"Hmm." Wu Yuan pondered for a few seconds and sighed: "Maybe it's because everything is really going wrong this time that I'm so angry."

“It’s my problem too.”

"When filming is not going smoothly, the biggest problem always lies with the director, and I shouldn't be too harsh on the actors and other crew members."

"I didn't arrange it well."

After Wu Yuan reviewed himself, he felt his own shortcomings for the first time in a long time, and shook his head in disappointment, "Forget it, let's not shoot today, the crew can take a break for half a day."

"I will also rearrange the shooting schedule. The pace still needs to be slowed down. This is a rare combination of virtual and reality shooting in China and even in the world. Everyone is trying it for the first time, so there must be many things they don't understand." "We should also stop and slow down appropriately and have some time to adjust."

Wu Yuan did what he said. He picked up the intercom and spoke on the crew's public channel, asking everyone to give a short break.

Soon, almost as soon as his voice fell, cheers came from the intercom.

No matter which group they belonged to, everyone was having a great time.

Many people looked at Liu Yifei with gratitude.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, it was Liu Yifei who came over and said something to Wu Yuan, and then Wu Yuan gave the crew a holiday. What a good wife!

Several female staff members who were familiar with Liu Yifei simply pulled Liu Yifei away and surrounded her, praising her in various ways.

Wu Yuan heard all the words like "You are the only one who can persuade Director Wu", "Director Wu still listens to you", "Xixi did a great job".

But he didn't mean to explain, so it was fine to let everyone misunderstand it this way.

In the crew, Wu Yuan has always been a man of his word, and no one dares to provoke him. Liu Yifei is Wu Yuan's girlfriend, or even his fiancée, which makes many people feel a little distant from her and dare not contact her.

In this case, it would be a good idea to let Liu Yifei stand on the side of "crew members" and "seek benefits" for them, which would make it easier for her to get along with everyone and not appear special.

Smiling at Liu Yifei's explanation that it was Wu Yuan himself who wanted to give everyone a day off, but no one believed him, Wu Yuan shook his head, picked up the loud speaker and loudly ordered: "Although you are given a day off, you should also think carefully about how to shoot better next time."

"I know that this movie is an unprecedented challenge for all of us. Even in Hollywood, it is a very difficult movie."

"But if we can complete this film, doesn't it mean that we are better than the top crews in Hollywood?"

"I believe you can do it!"

“So, let’s work hard together!”

Wu Yuan, who did not lose his temper and instead encouraged everyone, is still very charismatic.

Everyone in the crew responded loudly in unison: "Understood!"

Then they dispersed.

Including Peng Peng, the emo male protagonist just now, who disappeared in a flash.

However, he was not going there to play or relax, but planned to go back to the hotel to carefully review the scenes to be filmed in the next few days, and simulate and repeat the scenes several times in the hotel. Diligence can make up for lack of talent!

He really didn't want to be criticized by Wu Yuan anymore, he wanted to be a qualified leading actor!
Just like that, the next day, after the crew started working again, everyone's morale was boosted, and the work at hand was done more smoothly, as if their Ren and Du meridians were opened up, and the filming of "Ready Player One" finally got on track.

Good news also came from the special effects company. The special effects that Wu Yuan requested were finally produced. Although it was difficult, it was still possible!

All difficulties have been temporarily cleared away, and "Ready Player One" finally has the dawn of success! (End of this chapter)
