Become famous another day.
Chapter 613 I'm Not Blind
On the fourth day after Lu Yanhe joined the crew, he finally felt a sense of immersion in the role of the brother he played.
It's not that he didn't put himself into the role before and was just forcing it. But as an actor, it takes time and familiarity for him to really get into a role and become one with it.
Lu Yanhe actually didn't do much preparation in advance for this play or this role.
On the one hand, of course, it was because he was very busy some time ago and he didn't have much time to prepare. On the other hand, it was also because this role was actually not difficult or complicated, so he didn't need to make any preparations in advance.
For a character that doesn't actually have much depth and complexity, with Lu Yanhe's current acting ability, if he prepares too much, the character's own explosive power will be lost.
There is a very delicate balance between advance design and on-site performance.
In fact, good actors often rely more on their performance at the moment when they fully empathize with the character. That cannot be designed in advance - of course, this does not mean that actors do not need to do homework in advance. It means that they have done all the homework they should do, and then, forget about it and leave it to their emotions and intuition.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Lu Yanhe felt like he had put himself into the role, referring to the environment on the set and the group of actors.
He began to build up a familiarity with the world in front of the camera and this group of people.
After Huang Feng became familiar with him, he began to extend his mischievous behavior to him.
Basically, as long as he is not filming, Huang Feng will never be idle on the set. He will keep talking, jump up and down like a monkey, and even pull people to play various small games with him.
This kind of thing would never happen to Lu Yanhe before, but now, probably because he feels familiar with Lu Yanhe, Huang Feng started to pester him.
Huang Feng didn't know how he found out about a game that Lu Yanhe played when he was a child.
One person puts his palms on the palms of another person, and the hands placed below should turn over and hit the backs of the hands placed above.
In fact, it’s about who reacts faster.
Huang Feng claims to be a master of this game and is invincible in the crew.
Lu Yanhe was targeted by him.
Lu Yanhe nodded and agreed immediately.
As a result, Huang Feng could not hit the back of Lu Yanhe's hand no matter what he did, while Lu Yanhe was always able to hit the back of Huang Feng's hand.
After doing this for more than ten times, Huang Feng was so angry that his eyes turned red and watery, and he almost cried.
Lu Yanhe laughed loudly and deliberately ridiculed him: "Really? Are you crying already?"
Huang Feng screamed in anger.
When his mother heard the noise, she hurried over. When she saw her son screaming angrily at Lu Yanhe, her face immediately changed and she wanted to go forward and grab Huang Feng away.
Lu Yanhe noticed Huang Feng's mother coming over and immediately gave her a look to indicate that everything was fine.
Huang Feng's mother finally felt relieved.
She was really worried that her naughty son would offend Lu Yanhe.
Huang Feng left angrily.
Lu Yanhe was too lazy to coax him.
When they were filming a scene, Huang Tianlin was so happy that he clapped his thigh. Huang Feng in the camera didn't even need to act to show his childish hatred for Lu Yanhe. His emotions were so vivid and captured by the camera, it felt so good.
At lunchtime, Wang Biao came over with lunch and whispered to Lu Yanhe, "Huang Feng must have been scared by you. Just now, he insisted on dragging others to play the hand-slapping game. Others asked him to continue to play with you, saying that they couldn't beat him, so he had to challenge himself and try to beat you. Huang Feng refused to respond and refused to come to you."
Lu Yanhe: "All children are like this. I was like this when I was a child."
Wang Biao: "I was like this when I was a kid! But, Brother Lu, were you like this when you were a kid? It's hard to imagine. I feel like you must have been an obedient and self-disciplined child since you were a kid."
"How could that be?" Lu Yanhe smiled. "Huang Feng is quite interesting. This kid has such a bad temper and can't calm down normally. He seems to be an insensitive person, but when he acts, his emotions are very accurate. In the play, especially the scene he acted with me the night before last, he wanted to reconcile with me and wanted to climb onto my bed. He slowly moved closer to me like a little animal, rubbing against me little by little. Huang Tianlin didn't teach him to act like this. He is born to empathize with different emotions."
Wang Biao: "Brother Lu, that's not necessarily true. Huang Feng may not be as noisy as he usually looks."
"Hmm?" Lu Yanhe was a little confused and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Wang Biao: "He told me that he lost his father when he was a child, and was raised by his mother and uncle. I think it is unlikely that a child who grew up in such an environment would not be sensitive at all. He was often bullied by his classmates when he was a child just because he didn't have a father, but he never seemed to show it on the scene."
Lu Yanhe showed a surprised expression.
The reason why Lu Yanhe was surprised was not because of this incident, but because he really had not seen this in Huang Feng at all in the past few days.
Huang Feng gave him the impression of a carefree little kid who was well protected by his family. He could also be innocent, lively and naughty even on the set.
But that is not the case.
-
After learning about Huang Feng from Wang Biao, Lu Yanhe suddenly felt a little sympathy for Huang Feng when he saw him again.
He immediately realized that his mentality was wrong.
The last thing children, especially those of this age, need is sympathy.
Cruelty and indifference can hurt a person's heart, and so can sympathy. Sometimes, the former is a hard knife and the latter is a soft knife, both of which hurt bloody without any difference.
Lu Yanhe took the initiative to call Huang Feng.
"Do you still want to play the game of slapping the back of the hand?" Lu Yanhe looked at him with a smile.
Huang Feng: “…”
He looked at him warily and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to see if you have made any progress." Lu Yanhe said.
Huang Feng's eyes turned, "I haven't made any progress. I don't want to play with you. Go find someone else to play with."
After saying that, he ran away.
Lu Yanhe: "..."
"This kid is such a thief." Qin Shulan, who plays their mother in the film, said with a smile, "This is actually his first time acting."
"He has an outstanding talent for acting," said Lu Yanhe.
Qin Shulan nodded, "Yes, if he was in China, or in Europe and America, with such talent, he might have become a child star."
There was a hint of regret in Qin Shulan's tone.
When Lu Yanhe heard this, his eyes flickered slightly.
-
"You want to sign Huang Feng to your company?" Huang Tianlin looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.
"It's not my company, although I have a little share. Strictly speaking, it's my agent's company." Lu Yanhe said, "But it's very powerful in China, and it's a good company. Huang Feng has a lot of acting talent, it's a pity that he doesn't want to be an actor. If you are willing, I hope I can guide him in the future."
Huang Tianlin looked at Lu Yanhe in shock and didn't say anything for a long time.
"I need to discuss this with his mother."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
"But what do you think? He lives in Malaysia, not in China." Huang Tianlin was very confused. "You want to take him, do you want to take him to China?"
"Malaysia or China, it's all fine," Lu Yanhe said. "He's still a child, and it's impossible for him to be a full-time actor. He should go to school. But during the winter or summer vacation, if there is a suitable opportunity and a suitable role, he can come to China to film."
Huang Tianlin actually knew that Lu Yanhe was providing Huang Feng with a good opportunity.
"Why do you care so much about him? I thought you didn't like him." Huang Tianlin said, "You didn't seem to take much care of him on the set."
"Care?" Lu Yanhe said, "I feel like he doesn't need my care. But I like him, he's very interesting."
Huang Tianlin: "This is a big deal. I have to think about it carefully. Also, it depends on his own ideas and his mother's opinions. Sign with your company and become a child star——"
Huang Tianlin's face was full of surprise and worry.
Lu Yanhe understood very well.
He nodded.
"You two should discuss it first."
-
Chen Ziyan was very supportive of Lu Yanhe's desire to sign Huang Feng.
Before Shihuo was established, it had already been decided to make this company the first in China to provide management services to artists from all over the world.
The first foreign artist signed by Shihuo was Thai actress Cai Na.
If Huang Feng signs the film, he will be signing a Malaysian actor.
"By the way, what about the other actors in your play? I heard from Wang Biao that the actress Qin Shulan who acted opposite you also has very good acting skills. She is also a very famous actress in Malaysia."
"Yes, but she should already have an agency and an agent here," said Lu Yanhe.
Chen Ziyan said: "That is only in Malaysia. We can be her agent for overseas brokerage business. Several actors in your play can speak Chinese and can come to China to film without any obstacles. Moreover, they are all Chinese and have the same roots. If we can gather a group of Chinese actors and deepen their exchanges with China, it will also be in line with the current direction."
Lu Yanhe heard this and said, "Then should I ask her?"
"Don't ask me anymore. When you are about to finish filming, I will come over and discuss the matter together." Chen Ziyan said, "I have long thought about signing Huang Tianlin with other management contracts besides film and television. As a director, he must have a bright future."
Lu Yanhe: "Will President Yuan have any objections?"
"The relationship between his company and Huang Tianlin is a cooperative relationship in film and television production, and nothing else is involved." Chen Ziyan said, "I inquired about this when I talked to him before."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.
"Yuan Hai also has an idea. He wants to bring his production company to China to see if there are any opportunities for project cooperation. The Malaysian market is still too small. Although international streaming media is booming, they can hardly grab any cooperation opportunities. In the Asian market, the production business is basically divided up by South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and India. Now, there are still a few Chinese dramas released on streaming media in the form of copyright cooperation every year. The market for Chinese film and television dramas is basically occupied by us."
Lu Yanhe said: "I know this. He took the initiative to find Siqi and wanted to cooperate with Jump Up Theater."
"He's very quick." Chen Ziyan smiled. "He's very motivated and has a lot of ideas. If it weren't for the small market in Malaysia, his production company would definitely be much bigger than it is now."
"I don't know how Siqi's visit to his company went." Lu Yanhe said.
-
Chen Siqi visited Yuan Hai's company in the afternoon, met with several producers from his company, chatted with them, and had dinner together. She had some ideas in her mind.
She returned to the hotel and called Lu Yanhe.
"Have you finished work yet?"
"I don't have any scenes tonight." Lu Yanhe said, "I just got in the car and was going to find a restaurant nearby with Dong Ge, Wang Biao and others to eat local food. What do you think of Yuan Hai's producer? Can we cooperate?"
"Yes," said Chen Siqi. "I watched what they shot in the past few years and talked with them for a long time. They still have the production foundation and ability. Their shortcoming is that they have no experience in large projects. The projects they have done in the past are mainly life-related and emotional. In short, they are experienced in small-scale and small-scene dramas and their level is OK, but if they want to do large-scale productions and large projects, they may not have the ability for the time being. However, this is quite consistent with the needs of our Jump Up Theater."
"That's good."
"Yeah." Chen Siqi said, "This afternoon, Northern Lights Video also sent a message that after the launch of Jump Up Theater, six dramas have been launched online, and a total of more than 7 million new members have been attracted to them."
Lu Yanhe was pleasantly surprised. "This data is very good."
"Yes, but I don't know if this data can be stabilized."
To put it simply, the number of new members of a video platform is how many people become members while watching the drama, including monthly, quarterly, and annual memberships.
At present, the proportion of annual members on domestic video websites is still relatively small. The majority are monthly members. If there is a drama or variety show you want to watch this month, you need a membership to watch it. You will only open it once, and you will not continue to recharge after watching it.
Therefore, the number of new members of the six dramas of Jump Up Theater exceeded 7 million. It does not mean that they have never watched dramas on Northern Lights Video before, nor have they recharged their membership on Northern Lights.
For video websites, the commercial value of a drama is mainly reflected in several aspects:
1. Attract new members.
2. Patch advertising.
3. Number of views.
Jump Up Theater is not very good in the latter two aspects, but its performance is excellent compared to its cost. However, in terms of attracting new members, it has reached 7 million members in just over a month, which is comparable to the performance of popular TV series.
However, the purchase price of these six dramas by Northern Lights Video is much lower than the purchase price of a hit drama.
If it is a big drama led by first-line stars and rated A or above, the average price per episode can generally reach more than 6 million yuan. This is just the general price. If the drama itself has a certain popularity or the main creative staff is very popular, this number can fluctuate a lot higher.
The dramas of Jumping Theater are only two to three episodes each, and because they are first broadcast on Yuehu TV, there is an exclusive broadcast window period. Northern Lights Video is only an exclusive online broadcast platform. For dramas like "Girl's Adventure" with new directors and actors, the purchase price is even less than 100 million per episode. And dramas like "The Intern" with popular actors like Yan Liang as the lead, the average price per episode is only 500 million.
In short, the revenue that Jumping Theater brings to Northern Lights Video far exceeds the costs.
Of course, this is also a good sign for the Jump Up Theater. With the popularity of the first six dramas, the purchase price of the subsequent dramas of the Jump Up Theater is bound to rise.
"When are you going back?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Siqi: "I'm taking a flight back to China tomorrow morning. What about you? How many days will you stay here to shoot?"
"I don't know yet. Huang Tianlin knew that I was not in a hurry to finish the seven days agreed in the contract, so he filmed very slowly every day and paid great attention to the details." Lu Yanhe was a little helpless. "Maybe we have to shoot for a few more days. It's up to him. As long as he doesn't delay me for ten days or half a month, it's fine. After all, the promotion of "Love Letter" will start soon, and the promotion of this movie is in your hands."
Chen Siqi: "Don't worry, we already have a promotional plan. Your directorial debut won another award at the Jose-La Mancha Film Festival. We will only go all out to make sure everyone sees this film."
Lu Yanhe: "Then don't work too hard. It doesn't matter whether the box office is good or not. Anyway, the movie has already made a profit through overseas copyright sales. There is no pressure to release it domestically. Don't work overtime for this."
"Work is work. Since we have accepted the order to promote Love Letter, we must do our best." Chen Siqi said bluntly, "Otherwise, we will make other people's dramas popular, but your drama will be mediocre. How can this be justified?"
Last time, Chen Siqi's team used fan fiction as an opportunity to open up the topic of "The Mountain Top", which brought this cold-received but well-received drama back to life and shocked the entire industry.
After that, Chen Siqi's team took over the promotion of several dramas and achieved some impressive results. They asked for high prices, and there were not many projects that they actually cooperated with - there were not so many projects that could cover the promotion costs.
It was because of the success of "Love Letter" at the Jose-La-Señora Film Festival, which won a considerable prize money and sold well overseas, that there was enough money to pay Chen Siqi's team an eight-figure publicity fee.
Otherwise, given Linghe's current financial pressure of operating the Jumping Theater and preparing for "The Chinese Paladin", either Lu Yanhe would have to pay out of his own pocket or Chen Siqi's team would have to provide friendly services. Otherwise, it would definitely not be possible to pay for Chen Siqi's team's publicity services.
As for Lu Yanhe, he certainly hopes that these things at work will be handled as they should be. Friends should be clear about their accounts, not to mention lovers.
Anyone who makes it to the end is no longer alone.
Chen Siqi was not the only one who did the publicity for Love Letter. If Chen Siqi provided friendly services to Lu Yanhe and she did not charge for it, what about the people in her team? They invested money, time and energy, but did not get any project bonuses. What did they want? Did they want Chen Siqi and Lu Yanhe to have a good impression of them?
This is why the more people involved, the more important it is to have a clear account.
Because it's not just between the two of them anymore.
-
In "Tropical Rainy Season", Lu Yanhe has two very important lines.
One line is the line between him and his family.
The other line is his relationship with a woman.
Of course, he doesn't get naked in this scene, that's not the point of the movie. The plot is that when his relationship with his family is getting worse and worse, a beautiful woman whose husband has died moves in upstairs and he is attracted to her.
As a result, their relationship was discovered by their younger brother. This incident caused an uproar. This incident also became a climax of the whole movie, and the scandal entered the family. He had a fierce quarrel with his mother, and his younger brother burst into tears. The next day, he left the family.
The movie doesn't end with him, but his character ends there and disappears from the movie.
For this movie, he is a symbol of the growth of the character of the younger brother, a very important symbol.
His departure was an important change in my brother's life.
Having acted in so many dramas, including "The Golden Age" and "Phoenix Tower", Lu Yanhe has a very protagonist perspective in every drama he appears in. Only in "Tropical Rainy Season" is he a real supporting role. Neither the story nor the rhythm revolves around him, but focuses on his younger brother. This actually gives Lu Yanhe a very different actor's perspective. Including the design of the rivalry between himself and the widow. If it were in the past, he would not care whether he was a supporting role or not, and he would definitely play every scene as the protagonist. But in this movie, Lu Yanhe himself realized that every time he appeared, he could not be too "colorful", and he could not steal the show and disrupt the overall rhythm of the movie.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe made two distinctions for himself. In the scenes at home, with his mother and brother, his emotions and character arcs are very strong and eye-catching, and will never be suppressed - his functionality in this family drama is also reflected here.
However, in another character line, that is, his emotional line, he made his character's presence less prominent, and he tried his best to use an "attitude of escape" to highlight the "difficult to escape" bond.
For example, when he met the woman for the first time, Lu Yanhe planned something for himself. On the one hand, he was attracted to her and took the initiative to help her. On the other hand, he was always paying attention to the situation downstairs - he was paying attention to the movements in his home, fearing that his mother and brother would discover his attentive behavior.
The actress who plays opposite him is called Han Yujiang, a Chinese who grew up in Malaysia. She has not acted in many film and television dramas. She used to be a local stage actor and a friend of Huang Tianlin, who pulled her here to act in this play.
She is very beautiful.
The first scene Han Yujiang and Lu Yanhe acted against each other was when she moved and Lu Yanhe came to help.
After she finished, she felt a little strange and asked, "Yan He, why do I feel like you were a little absent-minded when you were acting?"
Han Yujiang saw it, let alone Huang Tianlin.
Huang Tianlin asked Lu Yanhe angrily why he acted like that.
Lu Yanhe explained his understanding of this scene.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Huang Tianlin said directly: "When a man is attracted to a woman, he will not have other things in his mind, and he will not be absent-minded."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Han Yujiang also said: "I thought I was not attractive enough to you."
If Lu Yanhe is a tool-type character in this movie, then Han Yujiang is not even a tool-type character, he is a pure tool.
Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously. Could it be that he was thinking wrongly?
Lu Yanhe did not insist and said, "Then I will perform it again."
But after the performance, Lu Yanhe shook his head.
"No, that's not right." He said to Huang Tianlin, "This is not somewhere else, this is upstairs in my house, under the floor is my house, my mom and my brother are there, with this kind of spatial relationship, you say I am completely attracted to her and won't be distracted? I think it's unrealistic."
Huang Tianlin said: "If you mind this matter, you won't come up to help at all."
Lu Yanhe shook his head. "But I am a man, a hot-blooded man. I saw a woman who made my heart beat faster. She attracted my attention as soon as she appeared. I can't remain indifferent. But this is a contradiction. I must have this contradiction in me."
He turned to look at Han Yujiang: "Put yourself in their shoes. If your family was downstairs, and you secretly came upstairs to meet a man who made your heart beat, could you keep your attention focused?"
Han Yujiang hesitated for a moment and said, "To some extent, I do care a little bit."
Lu Yanhe nodded and looked at Huang Tianlin.
Huang Tianlin took a deep breath.
Lu Yanhe: "Of course, I know you want to film me falling for her at first sight in this scene. I can act it out, Director, trust me. Let's try a few more times and find a way of acting that you and I can agree on, okay?"
After working with Huang Tianlin for a few days, Lu Yanhe has figured out Huang Tianlin's style.
This person is a director with a very strong self-esteem.
He must need others to respect him, trust him, and not challenge his authority.
Although Lu Yanhe couldn't obey him 100% and didn't want to do so, within the scope of the rules, he was willing to give Huang Tianlin, the director, a sense of authority on the set.
He has already taken a step back.
Huang Tianlin took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "Then let's give it a try."
-
However, when Lu Yanhe gradually got into the groove and found a character state that both he and Huang Tianlin could accept, Han Yujiang almost collapsed.
The reason why she collapsed was not because of anything else, but because she found that she was simply unable to keep up with Lu Yanhe's acting.
When she got the script, she felt that she was well suited to the role and that she didn't need superb acting skills. All she needed was beauty, seduction, and a sexiness that was between maturity and innocence. That would be enough.
This is a characteristic of her.
But she found that when she stood with Lu Yanhe, in every shot, Lu Yanhe's body language details, the way he looked at her, and his expression would change a little, and he gradually turned into a real 17 or 18-year-old boy who was full of vigor and fell in love with a woman at first sight.
The occasional distraction and trance in his expression gave him a sense of unfathomable story, making her subconsciously forget that she was acting and want to explore his past life.
When she came to her senses, she inexplicably felt herself to be superficial from the look in Lu Yanhe's eyes.
All of a sudden, she couldn't tell whether she felt her acting was superficial or the character she played was superficial.
This suddenly caused her self-confidence to collapse.
I can't continue acting.
-
Huang Tianlin was the first to discover Han Yujiang’s problem.
He looked at Lu Yanhe speechlessly and pulled Han Yujiang aside.
"Xiao Jiang, don't let him lead you by the nose."
Han Yujiang looked very sad and shocked. He said, "Director, I feel like I have facial paralysis."
Huang Tianlin: "Don't think like that, you've acted very well."
Han Yujiang asked in disbelief: "Really?"
"Really." Huang Tianlin said, "You can't think of comparing yourself with Lu Yanhe. Among the younger generation of actors, how many can perform better than him? You have to look at yourself and your role. You have already accomplished the feeling that your role is supposed to present very well."
Lu Yanhe, who was about to come over to ask what was wrong, was stunned when he heard Huang Tianlin's words.
ha?
——Among the younger generation of actors, how many can perform better than him?
It turns out that I can also hear words of praise for him from Huang Tianlin's mouth?
Lu Yanhe smiled, stopped and did not move forward.
At this time, let Huang Tianlin do Han Yujiang's work.
Lu Yanhe went to his own lounge chair and sat down.
Wang Biao handed him the phone.
"Did anyone call?"
"No." Wang Biao shook his head.
Lu Yanhe turned on his phone and replied to some messages.
One of the messages was from Zhou Mukai, who asked him if he could spare a day next month as Xiao Jing, who was on an exchange in the UK, would be back next month.
Before Xiao Jing went abroad, they had said that they would welcome him back together when he came back.
Lu Yanhe said: I will return to China after finishing filming "Tropical Rainy Season". If I can spare some time, the movie "Love Letter" directed by me will start to be promoted next month, and there will be some advance screenings. I plan to go back to Zhenhua to hold a screening. Why don't you come and help me support the show?
In addition to Lu Yanhe, Mao Jiayang and Zhou Mukai all chose to pursue graduate studies. After Xiao Jing returned to China, he extended his graduation for one year and most likely chose to pursue graduate studies as well. They all stayed in Yuming.
Since Lu Yanhe graduated, he has had less contact with them. It's not that they have become distant, but they used to see each other from time to time, but now it's hard to even see each other. In addition, Lu Yanhe is very busy with his work now, and the person Lu Yanhe sees the most is Zhou Mukai, because Zhou Mukai is a part-time editor of "Jump Up" magazine, and Lu Yanhe sometimes runs into him when he goes to the editorial department of "Jump Up".
Zhou Mukai said: Okay, why don’t you ask them in the group later?
Lu Yanhe: OK.
-
I don’t know what Huang Tianlin said to Han Yujiang, but half an hour later, they continued filming and Han Yujiang’s condition was much better.
Then, Lu Yanhe discovered that Huang Tianlin said something different from the two of them -
Huang Tianlin would tell him that the following shot was for him, and let Han Yujiang act with him, but Han Yujiang's performance would not be filmed.
In fact, there was a camera secretly filming Han Yujiang. However, Han Yujiang herself did not know that she was being filmed. Instead, she relaxed and showed her body very naturally, releasing the beauty of a woman's body curves in front of the camera, without any affectation, and with a natural allure.
Huang Tianlin is trying to capture Han Yujiang's best state in this way.
Lu Yanhe saw through it but didn't say anything.
At night, Lu Yanhe had to film with Qin Shulan and Huang Feng again.
In these plays, he basically became a background board.
Oftentimes, he only had one or two lines in a scene, mainly serving as a supporting role for them.
At this time, even if you want to stand out, you actually have no chance to do so.
Even if your acting skills are so good, you are just a background board with no light shining on you.
Lu Yanhe has performed in so many plays, but this is his first time to have such a performance experience.
He has never acted in a play where he played the background role so many times.
He played supporting roles three times, in "The Golden Age", "Phoenix Terrace" and "Three Mountains". In every drama he appeared in, he was the protagonist of that line.
Comparing this with his previous performance experiences, Lu Yanhe felt quite emotional and thought about a lot of things.
As a result, after he finished the performance, everyone in the crew looked at him with admiration.
He was still confused, but Wang Biao explained it to him.
"Everyone admires you very much. Even though you only have one or two lines, you are still performing. In your state, you never stop and you react every moment." Wang Biao said, "Even the photographer specially captured some close-up shots of your reactions. The director did not ask for them. They took them on their own. They thought that your reactions were very good in a few shots and praised you for your professionalism."
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that this could be a reason to be praised.
Professionalism... has also become a reason for an actor to be praised.
-
Huang Tianlin sat in the editing room, looking at some already shot materials.
This is what he does after work every day, to ensure that the footage shot every day is OK and there are no problems.
Many times, problems with the footage aren’t discovered until it reaches the editing table.
But it is often too late to find out at this time. Unless you reshoot, you can only adjust it through technical means.
Any adjustment will lead to compromise in quality.
Therefore, Huang Tianlin hopes that if there is a problem, he can discover it as soon as possible, so that he can arrange a reshoot later while the crew and actors are all there.
Of course, with so many takes for each scene, if he doesn't pursue long shots without any cuts, he can always find shots that can be used.
Yuan Hai knocked on the door and came in with coffee.
"Don't you want to rest early? It's already eleven o'clock. Why are you still staying here instead of going to bed?"
Huang Tianlin said, "We can't keep Lu Yanhe on the set forever. I'll review all the films we've shot so that we don't have to ask him to come back for more reshoots."
Yuan Hai is too familiar with Huang Tianlin.
As soon as he heard Huang Tianlin's tone, Yuan Hai knew that Huang Tianlin's attitude towards Lu Yanhe had changed.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with Lu Yanhe's shots?"
Huang Tianlin didn't say anything, just looked at the screen.
After a few seconds, he said, "It's OK."
Yuan Hai: "Do you know what the crew is saying?"
"say what?"
"They were talking about whether the film had a chance to compete at a top film festival," Yuan Hai laughed. "They were also wondering whether the film could win a big award. So almost everyone worked at their best, and I didn't have to keep an eye on them."
Huang Tianlin curled his lips.
Yuan Hai said: "Today I also talked to the film selector of the Venice International Film Festival about our film. He wanted to see the clips we had already shot, so I asked someone to send him the clip you cut earlier."
"How did he say?"
"He was very interested and wanted to see the finished film, or at least a rough cut."
Film festival selectors usually don't wait until a film is finished before sending out an invitation to screen it.
Many times, attention starts from the shooting stage.
In particular, films starring popular actors like Lu Yanhe, or young directors like Huang Tianlin who have gained a good reputation in the international film scene with their debut works, are the focus of attention.
Huang Tianlin said: "Lu Yanhe doesn't need to act in this movie."
"Huh?" Yuan Hai asked, "Why are you still saying this at this time?"
"No, I mean, it's a bit of a waste for him to play this role." Huang Tianlin sighed, "Basically, any shot with him is amazing, he's such a good actor, even if he doesn't have any lines and just a face that's not in the focus, it's hard to ignore his presence."
Yuan Hai: "How do you think he achieved such a high level of success at such a young age?"
Huang Tianlin pursed his lips.
"In fact, I talked to him about why he was willing to play such a supporting role, regardless of the reasons he gave before." Yuan Hai said, "He is a person who really loves the film industry. He said that if his participation can help a good movie get more attention, then it's okay to play a supporting role. He doesn't care about the protagonist or the supporting role. I was worried that your attitude would anger him at first, but he was not angry at all. He has been tolerant of you."
Huang Tianlin had a blank expression on his face.
The light from the screen reflected on his face, making it look a little cold.
"And he tolerates you because he thinks your creative talent is worth his help." Yuan Hai looked at Huang Tianlin with the same tolerance, "Don't worry that he will steal your glory as a director. You have seen how he was on the set these days. He really appreciates you. So, don't be too stingy. You are the director who will represent Malaysian films in the future, so be generous."
Yuan Hai patted Huang Tianlin on the shoulder to encourage him.
Huang Tianlin was silent for a long time, then asked, "Brother Yuan, if I ask him to act in my other script, will he agree to act in it?"
Yuan Hai was stunned.
"You mean the script for Ferris Wheel?"
"Yes." Huang Tianlin said, "After finishing "Tropical Rain Season", I was ready to shoot this movie."
Yuan Hai said, "But is there a role suitable for him in Ferris Wheel? I remember it is a story about a girl, right?"
"If he is willing to act in it, I am willing to modify the script according to his wishes," Huang Tianlin said, "and rewrite the script so that the current heroine's boyfriend is the protagonist."
Yuan Hai: "I don't know if he will agree to act in it, you can communicate with him."
Huang Tianlin nodded.
Yuan Hai looked at Huang Tianlin with a complicated expression and said, "I thought you would at least wait until the film festival before you relented and corrected your attitude towards him."
Huang Tianlin muttered quietly: "I'm not blind."
