China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 257 Fan Xiaopang: He actually let me watch the live broadcast! (Please subscribe!)

Magic City, the crew's studio.

This is also the mansion that Lin Xuan just purchased.

It has been several days since the filming of the movie officially started.

Following the principle of going from easy to difficult, I have been filming the scenes between Lin Xuan and Fan Xiaopang these days.

A drama actor and a makeup artist met on the set, got to know each other, and fell in love.

After establishing a relationship, the two enjoyed the sweetness of love in the mansion.

However, the good times did not last long as the actor hooked up with other women outside.

The makeup artist quickly realized something was wrong, stalked the actor and caught the two of them getting intimate on set.

The actor explained that it was just a scene, but the makeup artist was still suspicious.

Once she was chatting with the original owner of the mansion and unexpectedly learned that there was a secret room hidden in the master bedroom.

So in order to test her boyfriend's feelings, she hid in a secret room and observed secretly.

When the actor saw the video she left, he felt a little disappointed and smashed the bouquet on the glass angrily.

The makeup artist was startled and decided to stop the prank.

However, she left the key to the secret room outside, which was really self-defeating.

Fan Xiaopang has been in good shape recently.

The performance of this plot was not too difficult, and the filming progress was a little faster than expected.

However, the really difficult part has not yet come.

Gao Yuanyuan has been at the scene these days, observing the two people's performances while looking for the right emotions.

Today she finally has her part to play.

The actor went out late at night to get drunk and met the bartender at the bar.

He poured himself a glass of wine and drank two bottles of wine.

Recalling the sweetness between him and his girlfriend, he shed a tear sadly.

His melancholic aura caught the bartender's attention.

Seeing him cry, the bartender told his companion, "I like the way men cry."

The companion answered sharply: "Men only shed tears when they feel guilty."

The implication is that this man must have done something bad.

He acted recklessly at the beginning, and now he comes to the bar to cry. He is obviously not a good man.

"Not always."

The bartender didn't believe in evil and walked over on his own initiative.

"Sir, we are closing."

"Oh, no need to look for it."

The actor took the cash out of his pocket to pay the bill and left the bar with a half bottle of wine.

As a result, as soon as he went out, he had a conflict with other drunkards.

The bartender rushed to the rescue and drove the drunkard away aggressively.

The actor was lying on the ground, drunk and unconscious. He couldn't even remember where he lived.

There was no other way but the bartender could only take the key and drive him back to his home.

"Crack!"

After watching the replay, Lin Xuan announced that the scene was over.

"Yuanyuan is doing well, keep up the good work."

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled and said, "Thank you."

Now it was Fan Xiaopang's turn to watch.

Hearing Lin Xuan praise Gao Yuanyuan, she curled her lips disdainfully.

Isn't it just because of love, Gao Yuanyuan can just play the role as she is.

Most of the subsequent scenes are concentrated in the villa.

For both of them, this is the real test of their acting skills.

An actor and a bartender fall in love and perform the origin of life in a villa bedroom in front of a makeup artist.

In this scene, Fan Xiaopang needs to show his anger, regret, despair, and helplessness, and he needs to cry until his heart breaks.

As expected, I got stuck while filming this scene.

Xiaopang's acting skills are not yet able to handle such a plot.

One scene took a long time to shoot, and Lin Xuan and Gao Yuanyuan were so close to each other that they couldn't find any useful words.

Helpless, Lin Xuan could only announce the suspension of filming.

When the rest of the crew called it a day and left, he came up with a vicious plan.

Xiaopang was resting when he heard Lin Xuan say: "Take a rest for five minutes and have another one later."

"I'm still coming. I feel like I'm not in a good state today."

"It's okay, I have a solution."

Lin Xuan looked at Fan Xiaopang with a strange smile.

He then told Gao Yuanyuan his plan. The other party was embarrassed and annoyed, and punched Gao Yuanyuan in the chest with a small fist.

Fan Xiaopang looked confused and didn't understand what he wanted to do.

Five minutes later, her eyes were completely opened.

According to the script, Lin Xuan and Gao Yuanyuan only had to shoot the kiss scene.

But while patting, Fan Xiaopang realized that something was wrong.

The two of them looked like they were getting serious.

Fan Xiaopang was mentally shocked and completely confused.

Zhicao, you are too cruel!

Watching the two people's emotional live performance, Fan Xiaopang's jealousy was immediately broken, and a surge of anger filled his chest.

Fortunately, she didn't lose her mind, she just glared at the two of them, and then quickly found her emotions and started performing.

"Please, please don't do this..."

She saw the two of them performing a great harmony of life in front of her.

The makeup artist was so sad that she slapped the glass desperately to no avail.

There is a loudspeaker in the secret room, and any small sound in the master bedroom will be amplified by it.

Even though the makeup artist covered his ears, the unpleasant sound could still be heard clearly.

"Stop, please stop..."

The matter is done and the scene is finished filming.

Lin Xuan got dressed and came over to check the playback.

"Yes, this one has finally passed."

Lin Xuan was very satisfied with Xiaopang's performance and gave her a thumbs up to praise her.

However, Fan Xiaopang's eyes looked like he wanted to stab him.

"You are such a beast, you actually forced me to watch the live broadcast!"

"Who keeps you from getting into the show? Although my method is a bit damaged, the effect is absolutely effective."

"Bah, then you can't do it in front of me."

Fan Xiaopang snorted coldly, took his pajamas and ran to take a shower.

The filming of this scene took a long time, and she was soaked with sweat.

After she left, Gao Yuanyuan came over in her pajamas.

"Hurry and cut it off before anyone finds it."

"I know, don't worry."

This is Lin Xuan's first video recording, and he is ready to enjoy it.

But not long after, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help it anymore and her face turned red.

"Stop reading it, delete it now!"

"Good good."

Lin Xuan deleted the irrelevant clips.

He is not Kansai brother, and he does not have the habit of slowly appreciating things.

In order to prevent it from being deleted completely and being restored by technical means.

After the filming of this movie is completed, all related equipment must be destroyed.

"Lin Xuan, come here quickly."

Just after taking a shower, Fan Xiaopang was lying on the bed in his pajamas.

After watching the live broadcast for more than an hour, it was definitely her turn this time.

…………

The next day, the crew came to the set.

"We worked overtime last night. That scene has already been completed and we will shoot the next scene directly."

Lin Xuan explained to the assistant director.

The other party had no suspicion and went directly to inform the rest of the crew.

The plot connects to the previous scene.

After last night, the two officially confirmed their relationship.

The bartender walked to the basin and picked up a toothbrush. Little did she know that just opposite the mirror, a woman was staring at her with disgust.

"That's my toothbrush!"

The makeup artist was furious and cursed her in vicious words.

Over the next few days, the bartender felt that the villa was strange.

There are always unusual noises coming from the sink, the bath water is hot and cold, and ripples are always appearing on the water surface.

The makeup artist was causing trouble, but the bartender thought the house was haunted.

Until one day, she was walking by the lake and threw the leftover apple core into the water.

The water surface rippled in circles.

The bartender looked thoughtful at this, then hurried back to the master bedroom.

She filled the wash basin with water, and the makeup artist opposite said excitedly: "You are not as stupid as I thought."

"start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the makeup artist hit the pipe hard, and ripples appeared in the pool.

The bartender was startled, and after she calmed down, he asked, "Is anyone here?"

"Yes!" Ripples appeared on the water surface again.

The two of them just asked and answered each other, and the bartender gradually understood.

She found the key to the secret room door and discovered the entrance to the secret room in the bookshelf.

Seeing that it was going so smoothly, the makeup artist in the secret room was almost crazy with excitement.

Instead of her usual venomous tongue, she continued to encourage her, even if the other party couldn't hear a word she said.

However, just after the key was inserted, the bartender began to hesitate.

As long as she gently turns the key, the woman inside can see the light of day again.

If she gets back together with the actor, what will she do then?

Thinking back on the sweet daily routine these days, the bartender finally made a decision.

She pulled out the key, drained the water in the sink, and cleaned the messy room.

The makeup artist locked in the secret room was going crazy.

She slapped the glass hard.

"What are you doing! Open the door quickly!"

"sorry!"

Through the single-layer glass, the bartender looked at her indifferently and apologized.

"Who are you talking to?"

At this time the actor came back from outside.

Before entering the house, I heard her talking to herself in the room.

"It's nothing." She casually found an excuse to fool him.

The two stood in front of the pool and hugged. The bartender lay on the actor's shoulder and looked at himself in front of the mirror with cold eyes.

Behind the mirror, the makeup artist lost control and kept kicking the glass.

"Open the door, damn bitch... don't leave me here, open the door, open the door!"

This scene is the biggest climax of the whole movie, and it was also very difficult to shoot.

Lin Xuan spent two days constantly lecturing and rehearsing the two heroines, and finally managed to pass the test.

Fan Xiaopang broke through himself and made his voice hoarse.

Fortunately, this scene was her last line in the play.

Since then, the bartender has moved out of the master bedroom, but the pressure has always been there.

She tried to contact the person inside, but there was no response, which made her feel even more guilty.

Finally one day, the secret admirer sent a document containing photos of the actor cheating on other women.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back.

For a moment, she was relieved.

It's really not worth it to have your heart tortured all day long for such a man.

After thinking for a long time, she finally opened the door.

This scene is the only time in the entire movie that the two heroines meet.

The makeup artist pretended to be seriously ill and lay motionless on the bed.

When the target gradually approached, she suddenly opened her eyes, knocked the target unconscious with the weapon in her hand, then grabbed the key, staggered out and closed the door of the secret room.

Looking at herself in the mirror, almost no longer human, the makeup artist was relieved.

She placed a photo of the two of them on the glass, left the key to the secret room on the bed, and then left without any nostalgia.

As for whether the bartender who was locked in the secret room is dead or alive, the end of the movie does not make it clear.

It depends on the intelligence of the actor, or the intelligence of his next girlfriend.

"Ka! This scene is over, the whole drama is finished!"

Lin Xuan shouted loudly on the set of the film crew.

The scene of "The Dark Side" is simple and there are only a handful of characters with lines, so the shooting period is very short.

From the official start of filming to the official completion today, it only took a total of 23 days.

Set a record for Lin Xuan's shortest filming time.

But the hard work has not diminished at all.

After filming this movie, Gao Yuanyuan lost seven or eight pounds without losing weight.

Not to mention Fan Xiaopang, who has lost weight overall and looks quite haggard.

At the closing banquet, Lin Xuan solemnly expressed his gratitude to both of them.

Filming was very hard, and the two had a lot of friction during the filming process.

But they have never delayed the filming of the crew due to personal reasons.

This is a basic quality for ordinary actors, but it is an extra bonus for them.

"There is no need to say these words. If you have new projects in the future, just think of me more."

Fan Xiaopang toasted to him generously.

Since joining the crew for filming, she feels that she has made a breakthrough in her acting skills.

All of this is due to Lin Xuan’s teachings.

"Me too. Thank you Director Lin for giving me the opportunity. If you need anything next time, just ask."

Not to be outdone, Gao Yuanyuan stood up and toasted him.

Although the relationship between the three of them is already very familiar.

But in front of outsiders, you still need to have basic etiquette.

That night, the crew drank in the restaurant until early morning.

Lin Xuan asked his assistant to send everyone to the hotel safely, and he left early and returned to the villa.

Not long after, Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Xiaopang came back.

"Hey, this movie was shot so fast. I haven't had enough of it yet."

Fan Xiaopang threw himself on the sofa, looked at the familiar room and said.

After the filming of the movie is completed, and after the post-production is completed and it is determined that no reshoots are needed, the villa will undergo major renovations.

The familiar place before you will be completely different in a few months.

The three of them were chatting casually, and Gao Yuanyuan suddenly asked:

"By the way, "The Blind Shaft" seems to be about to be released. Is there any hope that the box office will exceed 100 million?"

Currently, the box office of "The Blind Shaft" has reached 9500 million.

Although the box office is still rising, the daily figures are pitifully low, basically hovering around 100 million.

"There are still five days until the release, so there should be no problem."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and decided to work harder on this movie.

He took out his cell phone and called someone in the studio to discuss countermeasures.

The next morning.

Lin Xuan Studio issued an announcement.

Several major ticket warehouses in the Mainland will hold lottery draws for buying movie tickets.

The prizes are very rich, including shopping cards, clothing, shoes and hats, and posters signed by Lin Xuan.

This is considered an official subsidized movie ticket.

However, the effect is still very obvious. On the third day before its release, the domestic box office of "The Blind Shaft" officially exceeded 100 million.

Many media reported it, and entertainment newspapers even made headlines.

In 03, the box office of many well-known directors' movies was only around 5000 million.

Originally, people lived their own lives behind closed doors.

The highs and lows of the box office have no impact.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan, a man without martial arts ethics, dug out a gold ingot directly from the beach.

With a small-budget realistic theme, the movie has a box office of over 100 million, which is something that many people simply cannot imagine.

No doubt this record will stand for many years to come.
