Chapter 139 Actor’s happy talk

Today, "He in the Fireworks" will be screened at a theater in the center of Kyoto. All the people present are professional media and industry professionals.

Since these people's evaluation of the movie will directly affect the movie's reputation, director Su Tian gathered almost all the main actors and creative team to participate in this screening, including Le Yan.

The screening time was at 7: pm, and Leyan was picked up by Ni Zhen as soon as school was over.

Since this was Leyan's first time participating in this kind of publicity event, Ni Zhen couldn't help but tell him a few things he needed to pay attention to on the way:

"The actors will watch the film with everyone on site and will be interviewed by the media after the film screening. Your seat will be arranged in advance. Remember to stand to the side when you go on stage."

Le Yan's scenes are too few.

The three scenes totaled less than two minutes.

Even Ni Zhen was amazed that such a small scene could be used repeatedly by Su Tian to create the burden and spread it on the Internet.

Leyan made a special appearance and seemed to be acting like a leading actor.

But the actors who came to participate in the event today all have more important roles than Leyan. It is best for Leyan not to take over the spotlight, otherwise the media will catch them and make a fuss.

"Will the media ask professional questions?" Leyan asked worriedly.

He has accepted many interviews since his debut, but they were all unrelated to his profession. It was his first time as an actor and faced a lot of media, so he started to feel nervous in the afternoon.

But besides being nervous, there was also a hint of excitement.

How will these media evaluate his acting skills?

Ni Zhen thought about it carefully:

"It is possible but unlikely. If they ask questions that are not related to the movie, you can choose not to answer them."

In fact, Ni Zhen couldn't imagine what questions these media could ask Le Yan about the movie, after all, he had too few scenes.

They are most likely more interested in Leyan's personal affairs.

As for those questions that are not related to the movie, you can all refuse them at this event.

Leyan let out a disappointed 'oh' when he heard this.

He is overthinking, how could these people pay attention to his acting skills?

Su Tian and Le Yan were in a worse place than when they last met.

His skin was yellow, the dark circles under his eyes could be seen from a few meters away, and he had lost weight twice.

It seems that Su Tian can't let go before the movie is officially released.

Perhaps it was because he was really on the verge of collapse this time that Su Tiancai decided to star Le Yan with guaranteed acting skills in his next movie, rather than an uncontrolled traffic star.

There is nothing I can do to endure this kind of suffering.

The crew gave Le Yan a black sweatshirt with the "He in Fireworks" logo printed on it. Everyone put on the same clothes and lined up to enter the theater to meet the media.

The male protagonist Xiang Han, who has a good personal relationship with Le Yan, and the female protagonist Mao Huiqiao, who has never forgotten Le Yan, both want to bring Le Yan to their side, but Le Yan insists on walking at the back of the cast.

Who is he?

What are you doing in front? ?

Twenty or thirty people entered the theater in large numbers, and the first person was 'welcomed' by the media as soon as he appeared.

According to the process, the interview should start after watching the movie.

But facing this room of professional media and sharp professional film critics, it is still difficult for the actors to sit down easily.

Every time an actor appears at the door, everyone's questions will follow.

"Director Su has lost a lot of weight. Was it affected by the thunderstorm incident involving the actors in the movie?"

"Netizens commented that Xiang Han and Mao Huiqiao are the least censorious on-screen couple. What do you want to say?"

"Xiang Han, I heard that the director often scolded you on set. Would you consider going back and continuing to sing?"

"How does it feel to have a romantic scene with Hye Kyo and a non-professional actor?"

Everyone just smiled and said nothing, and quickly found their seats to sit down.

When Leyan appeared at the end of the line, the place immediately became chaotic, and it seemed like people were asking questions in every corner.

"Will Leyan recommend this movie to Li Yiran?"

"Why did you decide to replace the violent actor as the heroine's brother? Are you not afraid of bad luck?"

"What do you want to say to netizens who say you are the most polite scum in domestic entertainment?"

"Leyan! Look here!"

"Look here, Leyan! Smile."

The lights at the scene suddenly dimmed, and pictures began to appear on the screen.

Le Yan also found his seat under the guidance of the staff, but after sitting down, he unexpectedly found that the person sitting next to him was Su Tian.

He quickly stood up and hunched over to check the name tag on the seat.

Oh my God, where am I sitting?

Su Tian pulled him down, patted his arm and said:

"You sit here."

Le Yan came to help without even signing the contract, allowing Su Tian to meet the final review date, and the film was not rescheduled or withdrawn. This kindness can no longer be measured in money. He saved Su Tian's reputation.

Le Yan once again used his own understanding and ability to complete the castrated character relationships in a very small number of scenes, without leaving any regrets in the content of the film. This is another great favor.

When the distribution company and capital raised doubts about the film, Su Tian also relied on the popularity of Leyan to promote the film.

If it hadn't been for these happy words to save Su Tian from the fire and water, Su Tian's condition today might be even worse.

Happy talk, enjoy the Ancestral Temple!

Le Yan sat awkwardly next to Su Tian, ​​his whole body stiff.

Not only because of where he was sitting, but also because he heard countless whispers behind him.

"Why should Leyan sit in the middle? Isn't he a special star? His seat is better than the starring position?"

"It's not surprising. Su Tian has been using popular artists in the past two years. Leyan's current traffic is so high. It's normal to support him."

"This kind of popular artists who rely on attracting attention are short-lived. They come out quickly and disappear quickly."

Le Yan slid down a little aggrievedly, hiding his whole body in the chair.

Netizens and the media have put many labels on him:

Li Yiran's rumored boyfriend, the most elegant scum, academic master, male Buddha, and now there is an inexplicably popular artist?

But there's only one label he wants.

The actor is happy to talk.

When will his ability be seen?

Su Tian is a very successful director.

He knows how to guide the audience's emotions.

While watching "He in the Fireworks", the audience sometimes laughed, sometimes cried, sometimes quietly meditated, and sometimes complained angrily.

It can be said that Su Tian got all the audience reactions he wanted when planning the movie. Every content point worked, but there was only one thing he failed to calculate.

That's how the audience reacted when the plot part of Leyan appeared.

The first scene where Leyan appeared was picking up her sister at the school gate.

When the scene of Le Yan leaning on the luxury car appeared on the IMAX giant screen, Su Tian heard countless exclamations from around him.

"Wow--"

"Holy crap, is this a happy statement?"

“It’s nothing like his own temperament.”

"Is this the look he has been trending on? It really suits him."

Leyan's appearance and temperament when he first appeared on the stage left such a deep impression on professional teachers that these picky professionals ignored his acting skills.

So when Le Yan appeared on the screen for the second time and had dinner with Mao Huiqiao, these professional media and film critics began to observe the details of Le Yan's performance.

After watching the screening, they all had to go back and write reports. Because of Leyan's popularity, they had to write more about him accordingly.

But after everyone watched the scene with a microscope, there were even more surprised comments.

"He did a good job, and the rhythm when interacting with Mo Hye Kyo was very steady."

"It's a bit surprising. He studies acting?"

"He pays great attention to the coordination of his eyes, body movements and expressions with the characters. At first glance, he is from a major."

The appearance and acting were faultless, so the film critics who wanted to criticize Le Yan temporarily changed their strategies.

If you can't curse, let's praise!

So when the third scene of Le Yan appeared, when everyone saw him skillfully shuffling the cards while reprimanding his employees, the words coming out of his mouth were much more pleasant to the ear.

"Emotions progress layer by layer, and the expression is very three-dimensional."

"This shuffling technique reminds me of "The Gambler". Leyan can compete with the actor xxx at his peak." "Leyan showed his love for his sister in a morbid way, but this morbidity did not cause My disgust was very well controlled, this was a high-level performance."

When the professionals were completely aroused by Le Yan's acting skills and wanted to continue to appreciate it, they were disappointed to find that Le Yan only had these three scenes in the whole film. Why was he missing from the back?

What are you doing? !

So when the screen lit up, Su Tian led his troops to the stage, and the first question he received was:

"Director Su Tian, ​​why did you only arrange so few scenes for Le Yan?"

Su Tian was stunned as he held the microphone.

According to previous experience, at the beginning of the media question session, these tricky professionals will most likely deal with the ending of the film, the unexplained foreshadowing or casting in the film.

What is the problem?

After watching the two-hour movie, the question you are most concerned about is why Leyan only has so few scenes? ?

Because the question was asked in the audience, Su Tian ignored it and pretended he didn't hear it. He first asked the cast and crew to take turns introducing themselves.

Friends who have attended media screenings should know that these professionals have their own set of rules for watching movies.

When an actor introduces himself, if the critic or media thinks he did a good job in the movie, he will give him a round of applause.

If they think the actor's performance is average, then just take a couple of shots.

If you feel that the actor acted a shit, the scene will be completely silent. Although this situation rarely happens, it does not happen.

Therefore, many actors, especially young actors, will be as nervous as taking an exam when attending media screenings.

The first person to be reviewed was the male protagonist Yan Xianghan.

The applause was not enthusiastic, it was sparse.

Next.

Xiang Han bowed awkwardly and said that being an actor is not as easy as singing.

The next one is the heroine Mao Hye Kyo.

The applause was obviously much louder, but it was not thunderous.

Under Armor.

Mao Huiqiao touched her chest gratefully and was very satisfied with the result.

Later, when several veteran actors introduced themselves, the audience gave warm and continuous applause.

Obviously these professionals are judged on acting skills.

Soon the actor introduction came to an end, and the host handed the microphone to Leyan in the corner.

Recalling the happy or disappointed reactions of the actors, Le Yan felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

A newcomer who has appeared in the public eye through entertainment topics and romances stands here to be judged by the media for his acting skills.

They wouldn't boo him, would they?

Le Yan originally wanted to introduce himself in a self-deprecating way, such as hello everyone, I am that polite scum, etc.

But thinking that this was his first time meeting everyone as an actor, whether the audience accepted him or not, this was an important moment, so he cheered up and took it seriously.

No matter what the ending is, this appearance must be good.

Le Yan held the microphone with both hands and said in a humble tone that was completely different from the characters in the movie:

"Hello everyone, I am a new actor Le Yan. I would like to thank Director Su for giving me this opportunity to participate in the filming of "He in Fireworks". After watching the movie, I feel grateful and proud to be able to participate in such an excellent movie. I hope everyone You can also like "He in the Fireworks", thank you."

After speaking, he nervously handed the microphone back to the host.

But as soon as the microphone was released, the audience burst into warm applause.

The applause not only came overwhelmingly, but also lasted forever.

Le Yan looked at the audience blankly, not knowing what to do.

Su Tian remembered that Leyan was a newcomer and didn't understand the rules, so he ran over with a smile, pressed his head and bowed to the audience.

"Silly boy, this is the audience's recognition of you. Thank you everyone!"

Leyan bowed as long as the applause lasted.

In this situation, he thought of an experience Deng Xuefeng had once told in class.

"When the play comes to an end and you hear the cheers and continuous applause of affirmation from the audience, you will feel that all the hardships you have endured were worth it."

After Leyan introduced himself, the scene officially came to the question and answer session.

Su Tian was fully armed and waiting to be questioned by the media. Unexpectedly, the first question did not bypass the one he escaped from.

"Director Su Tian, ​​why did you only arrange so few scenes for Le Yan?"

This issue is very sensitive.

If you don't tell it well, you'll bring up the actor who made the thunderstorm, but this question is not irrelevant to the movie, so there is no reason not to answer it.

Su Tian's brain was spinning rapidly, and after a few seconds he raised the microphone to his mouth:

"Before answering this question, I want to thank Leyan first."

He suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Le Yan:

"You may not know that Le Yan didn't ask for any remuneration for playing this role, and he didn't even get a box lunch from the crew. He was just here to help!"

There were exclamations in the audience, just helping?

Su Tian smiled and shouted to Le Yan:

"Le Yan! You don't want money this time, so I can only give you three scenes. If you accept my money next time, I can give you more scenes!"

The audience burst into laughter.

Some media people began to record:

Leyan acted for free just to join hands with Su Tian again.

Someone else recorded:

Before "He in Fireworks" was released, Su Tian invited Le Yan to make his next film. What kind of work will the two of them bring us if they join forces again?

"Leyan, netizens really like your look in a suit and glasses. Will you consider using this look more often in the future?"

The host ran to the end of the stage again and handed the microphone to Leyan's hand.

Le Yan pointed to the black sweatshirt on his body and said shyly:

"It's better not to wear a suit. It's really not as comfortable as wearing this kind of clothes."

The audience burst into laughter again.

Le Yan was wearing a simple black sweatshirt, and his hair was not done. He looked clean and sunny.

How can he interpret the character of a domineering president so well?

So someone asked Leyan again:

"Will you consider taking the route of a domineering president in the future? After watching the movie, I think you should be the character in the movie. You did a great job."

The host sprinted over again and handed Le the microphone.

thank you.

The number of steps taken by WeChat today will definitely be in the top ten.

This time Le Yan became serious and he answered seriously:

"The character is the character. You can be him, but he can't replace you. When I finish the last scene, the character Shang Zhuo will end. He will not exist in my life."

After meeting Xie Zhenyuan, Le Yan had a deeper understanding of the actor.

He believes that he is the first personality, and the role he interprets is the second personality. No matter what the situation, the first personality must know its own existence and cannot be replaced or affected by the second personality.

His previous learning focused on how to express emotions, but in the future he will put emotional recycling into a key training position.

Only by protecting yourself can you protect those around you.

He doesn't want to one day make the people around him as helpless and sad as Xie Zhenyuan's mother because he cannot step out of his role.

Half of the first few questions in the Q&A session were about Le Yan, so Su Tian waved to Le Yan and asked him to stand in the middle.

Le Yan waved his hands repeatedly and backed away in horror:

"No, no, no, no, I'm here to learn!"

He is already stealing the limelight and cannot move further into the middle.

Actors also need to be talented!

Stop hurting me! Please

While Le Yan and Su Tian were talking in sign language, the media in the audience once again attacked Le Yan:

"I want to ask Le Yan, your acting skills are so good when you first entered the freshman year. Is it because of your talent? Or does it rely on acquired hard work?"

The host came to Leyan again with sweat on his face.

Leyan’s sunny answer:

"I want to thank my university, Kyoto Film School. Every teacher is very serious and responsible, and they have laid a solid foundation for me. I am grateful to the school for their cultivation."

Thanking your alma mater is a legacy engraved in the bones of every actor who came out of Jingying Film. No matter what you ask, just lick it first.

An elder brother sitting in the back row stood up, made a trumpet shape with his hands in front of his mouth and shouted:

"How does it feel to be under the control of Deng Xuefeng?"

The eldest brother didn't have a microphone, but his voice was heard by everyone in the audience.

Listening to the 'Deng Xuefeng Victims Alliance' comment on Deng Xuefeng can be regarded as a great tradition in the entertainment industry.

But Leyan is only a freshman. How dare he say anything?

At least wait until he is in his junior year before asking!

This was an informal question, so the host ignored it. Unexpectedly, Le Yan suddenly grabbed his microphone.

"Teacher Deng is a very responsible teacher. He gave me a correct understanding of acting and made me fall in love with acting. Without Teacher Deng, I would not be where I am now. He is a person I will always respect. .”
