You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

Peng Yiwei's filming habits are different from all other directors on the market. For example, the script is given day by day and there is no shooting plan. However, it is the first time that Le Yan heard that there was no opening ceremony and he started shooting directly.

You have to know that people in the entertainment industry are very superstitious. Some people are even crazy and firmly believe that their star path and career can be improved by other means.

Although the opening ceremony cannot be said to be a feudal activity, it at least represents a good meaning. Can we just skip it?

"Other crews hold opening ceremonies with loud drums and firecrackers, hoping to use this as an excuse to invite the media and reporters to create a round of public opinion, but my film doesn't need those things. Besides, what I hate most is the actors' costumes and script information being leaked in advance and used as an excuse to make a fuss. Opening ceremony? No, no! Why waste that money? Can't I use the money to rent a few more days of equipment?"

Peng Yiwei is also an out-and-out weird old man, but his weirdness is different from that of Deng Xuefeng.

Just like that, without firecrackers, burning incense or numerous media interviews, Le Yan's first scene in "Beautiful Trap" began directly.

Before filming began, the executive director told Le Yan that the first scene was expected to take a whole morning.

This was incredible to Le Yan, who was used to shooting ten or even more than ten shots a day.
Although I don't understand why there is no opening ceremony, I respect it.

But this first shot only has ten lines, but it took a whole morning to shoot. Peng Yiwei's torturous nature is exposed again, right?
During the final stage when Bao Bin was adjusting the lighting, Le Yan confidently questioned the director Peng Yiwei.

What did you promise us before?

You said you would never extend the shooting schedule again and never torture the actors. Is that all bullshit?

"Is it too slow to shoot one shot in the morning?" Peng Yiwei was looking for something in the box with his round butt sticking out. He said without raising his head, "I used to shoot one shot every few days."

"How do we shoot ten lines in three hours?" Le Yan asked sharply while shaking the script vigorously.

Peng Yiwei took out the loudspeaker from the equipment box with great difficulty, turned on the power, pointed the speaker at Le Yan and replied:

"Emotions fluctuate. I want to mobilize your emotions. And if I don't take a few shots, how can I know which expression is the most accurate?"

He turned up the volume on the loudspeaker and shouted behind him:

"All departments are making final adjustments! Filming will begin in ten minutes!"

The first scene shot was of Yan Shi treating a patient in the hospital.

Le Yan changed into a white coat and walked in front of the camera with a frown on his face.

He is very upset now, and the staff around him can see that he is in a bad mood.

in front of the monitor.

Deng Xuefeng, who came to bring snacks to Le Yan, keenly caught Le Yan's emotional changes and asked Peng Yiwei angrily:
"What's wrong with you?"

Peng Yiwei raised his hands innocently:

"I didn't do anything."

Deng Xuefeng tapped the screen and shouted:
"Then why is he like this?"

Peng Yiwei pretended to be very busy, his chubby hands busy in front of him:
"I just went to mobilize his emotions, and the first shot had a big emotional ups and downs."

He immediately picked up the intercom and explained the play to Le Yan who was in front of the camera:

"Le Yan, this one shows some big emotional ups and downs, leaning towards the direction of impatience, dissatisfaction, and misunderstanding."

Anyway, he has reserved time to shoot dozens of variations in this shot, so doesn't this just provide him with a direction?

After saying that, Peng Yiwei put on the monitoring headphones and ignored what Deng Xuefeng said.

Le Yan’s brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Peng Yiwei's old illness recurred. Once he gets sick, the filming schedule is unpredictable. It was said that he would join the crew for half a year, but it might take seven or eight months to complete.

The torture of having to give different performance emotions is a small one, but delaying his future schedule is a big one.

LeYan has very few work arrangements this year, including only one movie and two months of music work at the end of the year.

If Peng Yiwei gets upset and squeezes out his work schedule at the end of the year, he will not be able to achieve the work goals set by Ye Xinchun for him this year.

Although he had sufficient reasons to explain the past, Le Yan was worried that this would affect his "reliability" rating in Ye Xinchun's mind.

Le Yan didn't dare to gamble at the critical moment.

So, he looked in the direction of Peng Yiwei with sharp eyes.

We must not allow Peng Yiwei to regain his condition.

He must suppress this evil momentum right from the beginning!

The post-2000s generation is starting to clean up the workplace!!
"The emotional tension of the actors is quite high, so let it all out. Let's start filming!"

It was not enough for Le Yan alone to release his emotions, so Peng Yiwei asked every actor in the filming to release their emotions before officially starting the filming.

in the monitor.

An obese middle-aged woman in a red skirt pushed open the door and entered a room with a sign saying "Internal Medicine Clinic No. 2" holding a stack of test reports.

"Doctor, here are my test results! They're out, please take a look."

Yan Shi looked away from the computer and took the order from the woman:

"Please take a seat."

As he looked at the test report, he took out a pen from the pocket of his white coat and pointed at the indicators on it and said:
"The indicators are fine, everything is good."

"Are you okay? But my chest hurts so much, and I feel like I can't breathe." The middle-aged woman rubbed her chest and said worriedly, "How about you prescribe some other tests for me?"

Yan Shi smiled and shook his head, saying gently:
"It's really okay. Go back and rest more. Don't focus all your attention on that. Come back if you have chest pain, chest tightness, or blood pressure problems."

"Not a doctor—"

The middle-aged woman wanted to say something, but the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a nurse leaned in half and said quickly:
"Doctor Yan, Director Huang wants you to come over."

Stand up strictly:
"Thank you, I'll go now."

Peng Yiwei asked the actors to open up their emotions, so the woman in the red skirt reluctantly blocked Yan Shi who was about to leave.

"Doctor, please don't leave yet. Please take another look at me. Here, here, here, and here..." She pointed at five or six places on her body in a row, "I feel uncomfortable in all of them! Please take another look at me."

Yan Shi put his hands on her shoulders, gently pushed her out, and said patiently:
"There's really no need to check again. There's nothing wrong."

"Doctor Yan, please hurry up. Director Huang looks very anxious."

The actor who played the nurse also followed the director's instructions closely and continued to create chaos for Yan Shi in an already somewhat chaotic environment.

But LeYan behaved very calmly from beginning to end. This made the two supporting actors mistakenly believe that the "pressure" they gave was not great enough.

As a result, the noise in the ward became louder and louder.

The woman in the red dress yelled at Yan Shi to continue treating her. The nurse urged Yan Shi to follow her many times, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Yan Shi appeared calm on the surface, and his tone was gentle, but he increased the strength of his hands.

Even Bi Xia couldn't withstand Le Yan's powerful attack, let alone the bloated middle-aged woman. Almost instantly, Le Yan held her shoulders and walked to the door.

"Go back and have more rest. Come back for a checkup next month. Goodbye~" After saying that, he closed the door of the ward and calmly asked the nurse, "Where is Director Huang?" "Cut!" Peng Yiwei stopped filming.

He used a walkie-talkie to communicate with the actors on the scene:
"Le Yan, your mood is too low. Adjust it to a higher level. You need to be tough when facing patients' entanglement. You should not be too accommodating when facing your colleagues' urging. Show some impatience."

Soon, Le Yan's voice came from the intercom:
"Director, when I was acting, I was thinking of this logic: the patient was just worried about her own safety, and as a doctor you should dispel all her concerns. If you forcefully drive her away, it will only deepen her suspicion, which will be counterproductive. My colleague was also here to help call me, so why am I impatient with her?"

Peng Yiwei's small eyes quickly turned twice behind his glasses, like two tadpoles. After thinking for a while, he spoke with satisfaction:
"Okay, okay, I don't mind your understanding. Then come back with another one, but this time with a more upbeat tone."

Peng Yiwei would not set any performance direction for the actors. The first point was to lift the actors' spirits, just to prevent Deng Xuefeng from bothering him anymore.

Anyway, I left enough time for shooting and tried various directions, which was good.

After the second take, the noise on the scene got louder.

Even though Peng Yiwei asked Le Yan to cheer up again, he still patiently received patients and thanked his colleagues in a friendly manner without making any changes. This forced the two supporting actors to shout louder and urge more frequently. As a result, Yan Shi's reactions became more and more gentle.

"Sorry, wait a moment, I'll finish it quickly." Yan Shi nodded to the nurse apologetically.

He took out a pen from his pocket, took a piece of paper from the table, and said to the woman in red as he wrote:

"This is our department's phone number. If you feel unwell anywhere, just call us from 8 a.m. to 17 p.m. every day. I'm always here. Can you rest assured?"

Le Yan's response was a temporary one, and the woman in red was stunned for a moment and didn't respond.

While she was staring at the note, Yan Shi pushed her out with force, then said to the nurse with a smile:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Where is Director Huang?"

"Click!" Peng Yiwei stopped filming again.

This time, he did not immediately pick up the intercom to communicate with Le Yan at the scene, but turned to Deng Xuefeng beside him and said:

"This child is becoming more and more like you"

Peng Yiwei understood that Le Yan was taking revenge on him.

He wanted Le Yan to cheer up a little, and he had to appear patient and calm.

Why are you so petty?
Isn't it just taking two more photos? Isn't that how everyone does it? !
"What do you mean?" Deng Xuefeng asked coldly.

Peng Yiwei snorted coldly, looking very disappointed:
"You've spoiled the kids!"

A loving father often spoils his son.

Let me take care of your son for you today!
Peng Yiwei picked up the intercom again, and his tone was not so friendly.

He is the director and should have the highest authority in the crew.

How could the actors not listen to me?

"Le Yan, cheer up. Do you understand what I mean?" Although the tone of this sentence was not heavy, the words were very serious.

On the first take of the first day, the director got angry, which made all the crew nervous.

They watched Le Yan's movements nervously, hoping that he could give the director a satisfactory explanation.

After a burst of interference sound came from the intercom, Le Yan's voice appeared:

"I understand, Director. Of course I understand."

"I see. Why did you lower the mood even more? This shot of yours is even more gentle than the last one!"

"No, Director Peng, because gentleness is the main tone I set for Yan Shi at work. All the ups and downs are adjusted around gentleness. You made me more emotional, so am I not more gentle?"

Everything Le Yan does now is impulsive.

But the character preparation he made in advance was not fake. The situation was urgent, so he could only bring out the character contrast logic he had prepared in advance for the psychiatrist.

"Gentleness is the main theme you designed for this character? Who asked you to design it this way? Did you tell me?"

Peng Yiwei also loves Le Yan very much.
I wanted Le Yan to give in and the matter would be over quickly.

But he never expected that Le Yan would dare to talk back.

Today is the first day of filming. Almost all the actors are on the scene. The whole crew can hear what is said on the walkie-talkie. Le Yan refuses to give in, so he can only use his status as director to force Le Yan to bow his head.

"I designed it before the filming. I wanted to talk to you, director, but you didn't even show us the script in advance. I couldn't talk to you even if I wanted to. But I read the script last night and thought one of the designs was particularly good, so I used it."

After Le Yan finished speaking, many actors in the venue shouted "good" in their hearts.

After so many years, an actor finally dares to bring up this matter!
Peng Yiwei, you give me two scripts every day, you are so lacking in virtue!
"I didn't give you the script in advance because I'm afraid that you would decide on the character's personality and psychological logic in advance. Le Yan, now that we have the answer, there is only one way." Peng Yiwei said very seriously.

This is my shortcut to success!

Why don’t you understand?

“But actors also need to use their brains to think. Being a trial-and-error machine without emotions, acting for the sake of acting without following logic will ruin an actor’s acting.” Le Yan paused for a few seconds, emphasized his tone, and said word by word, “If an actor acts for the sake of acting, he won’t know whether he is acting right or wrong. Actors need feedback. Once they don’t know whether they are acting right or wrong, they will enter a state of confusion and lose themselves!”

"No cu——" The middle-aged woman in the red skirt covered her mouth in horror.

Le Yan's words touched her heart. She has worked with Peng Yiwei three or four times. When she first joined the crew, she was barely able to act properly, but later in the filming she entered a state of "not being able to act". This was all because of Peng Yiwei, who polished a shot dozens of times without telling her whether it was right or wrong.

Although she didn't dare to say "good", she secretly gave Le Yan a thumbs up.

Kid, you are awesome, thank you!
No matter whether Peng Yiwei will change in the future, I will remember your words for the rest of my life.

There are so many actors who have the same reaction as the actress in the red dress
Peng Yiwei likes to use old people, so most of the actors in the crew have worked with him many times.

Even Ge Man sighed uncontrollably.

Le Yan is absolutely right. Although working with Peng Yiwei can bring honor, working with him also drains the actors' "inspiration" and "passion."

But Le Yan shouldn't have chosen this time to say it.

Now filming
monitoring room.

Peng Yiwei was so angry that he was like a burning barrel. He clenched his fist and was about to yell at Le Yan, but suddenly a hand reached out and snatched the walkie-talkie from his hand.

Deng Xuefeng narrowed his eyes and asked coldly:

"Did Le Yan say something wrong?"

Every word Le Yan said was once said by Deng Xuefeng.

If you have a playback function, you can find that Le Yan copied Deng Xuefeng's evaluation of Peng Yiwei word for word.

Peng Yiwei's rebuttal to Le Yan is actually his rebuttal to Deng Xuefeng.

Ding-dong-

Le Yan successfully completed the achievement of angering Deng Xuefeng from a distance. (End of this chapter)
