During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 547: Filming Gossip and Getting a Good Punishment

On the last day of May, The Fault in Our Stars officially started filming.

Wei Jin and the crew held a low-key opening ceremony near the capital.

This time, Wei Jin did a good job of keeping the secret and did not accept any interviews from reporters.

After the ceremony, Wei Jin looked at Liu Yifei. At this time, the little girl had completely changed into the makeup in the play.

He was wearing a hospital gown, had a pale face, a breathing tube, and short hair. He looked extremely haggard and weak.

Next to her is Liu Xiaoli, who plays the heroine's mother, and Zhang Songwen, a doctor in a white coat.

This character has very few scenes, so Wei Jin simply asked Zhang Songwen, the acting teacher in the group, to make a guest appearance.

"Yifei, you must understand your condition in the next scene. The heroine has been ill for many years and is physically and mentally exhausted. She is even in a state of self-abandonment, so she is a little impatient and indifferent when facing the doctor."

Listening to Wei Jin's nagging instructions, Liu Yifei kept nodding with a sweet smile on her face.

This treatment is much better than the one in “Those Years”, hehe.

After Wei Jin finished his instructions, he first looked at Liu Xiaoli and Zhang Songwen, then took a look at the on-site layout, went straight to the monitor, and picked up the loudspeaker.

"Attention all units, it will be officially powered on in 30 seconds."

"The lights are in place."

"The props are in place."

"."

As a series of voices sounded, the field staff appeared in front of the camera.

"The Fault in Our Stars, first scene, first shot, action."

The first scene is the mother comforting the heroine in the ward, taking blocking drugs, and joining a mutual aid group for patients.

In the camera, Liu Yifei had an indifferent, even careless expression on her face. She looked completely overwhelmed by the disease and had given up on herself.

What surprised Wei Jin the most was Liu Xiaoli's performance. The corners of her lips and her voice trembled slightly, but her face had a kind and doting smile.

After being rejected by the girl, his tone was gentle and there was even pleading in his eyes.

Finally, under the killing look of her mother, the heroine gave in and nodded in agreement.

"Click! This one passed."

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, Liu Yifei jumped off the bed, her face full of surprise.

"Mom, you acted so well that I almost thought I was really sick."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Liu Xiaoli interrupted Liu Yifei in a serious tone, then put her hands together and said, "Children's words are not to be feared, but good words are."

Looking at Liu Xiaoli's appearance, Liu Yifei wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Combined with the makeup on her face, it was so funny.

At this time, Zhang Songwen came over and said with some emotion:

"Mr. Wei, there is a sentence in your script that I think is very well written."

Before Wei Jin could ask, Zhang Songwen gave the answer: "The only thing more tragic than having a terminal illness is having a child with a terminal illness, and the parents wish they could take their own life in his place."

At this moment, Wei Jin thought of his two children and nodded heavily.

"Well, that's right."

After calming down, Wei Jin sat back on the monitor and started the next scene.
From the outside world, as the summer vacation is getting closer, several movies scheduled for June have entered the final stage of crazy promotion.

The biggest one, of course, is "The Secret of Fuchun Mountain", which cost 2.2 million yuan and was jointly produced by many producers including China Film, Media Asia, Paige, and Movie Channel.

Both online and offline, promotional releases for the movie are overwhelming.

In the latest trailer, Tong Dawei, with his white hair, is either playing with Lin Chi-lin's beautiful legs or flirting with Zhang Jingchu. He looks so carefree.

However, this trailer is completely confusing and I don’t know what the director wants to express.

But Sun Jianjun, the director, acted very confident in front of the media:
“I was greatly inspired by the film The Thieves directed by Wei Jin, but unlike The Thieves, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is not a simple treasure-hunting film.

It contains many elements such as spy warfare, action, suspense, thriller, and even alternative emotions. The audience will have a completely different experience. I believe that in the hot summer season, the movie will surely achieve outstanding results."

Apart from "The Secret: Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", the most anticipated movie in the circle should be "Tiny Times".

After all, the examples of "The Left Ear" and "So Young" are right in front of us, and their box office results are still hot.

So when facing the media, Guo Jingming was unusually high-profile:
"Tiny Times is a kind of ideological precipitation, which is about enjoying and loving wantonly in the years of youth. I believe that in the summer season, it will not disappoint the expectations of fans and audiences."

Yang Mi also promoted the movie on Weibo, looking forward to becoming the leading actress of a movie with a box office of 7 million or even 8 million yuan.

Other upcoming movies, such as "No Man's Land" and "The Mummy", are not to be outdone.

"No Man's Land" has the iron triangle combination of Ning Hao, Huang Bai and Xu Guangtou, and its appeal is quite strong.

Especially since the film took nearly four years to review and underwent many revisions, it has aroused the expectations of many viewers and fans.

"The Mystery Detective" focuses on the "father-son relationship" between Li Lianjie and Wen Zhang, and the participation of two big stars from Star Culture is also very eye-catching.

For a time, the smoke of the summer season filled the air.

Beijing, the crew of "The Fault in Our Stars".

"Hey, why are you here?"

Liu Yifei was chatting with Shu Chang when she suddenly saw a group of familiar figures. She couldn't believe it and exclaimed on the spot.

"Haha. Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Lao Wei asked me to come over for a cameo, but I didn't even go to the movie promotions. I came here. Are you touched, Yifei?"

Huang Bai pulled out a small stool and sat down in a familiar manner, followed by Luo Jin, Qiao Zhenyu and Lei Datou.

"Thank you, Brother Bo, Brother Zhenyu, and Brother Jiayin."

Liu Yifei gave a sweet smile, then looked at Shu Chang who was still drinking milk tea beside her, and said disdainfully:
"If I had known this was a reunion of Those Years, I would have asked Sister Jing to come over, you unnecessary guy"

"What? You're so fickle-minded. I even brought you milk tea."

"Hahaha"

A group of people met and started chatting happily, and Wei Jin didn't rush them.

When the crew was almost done with the arrangements, Wei Jin finally spoke.

"Okay, everyone hurry up and get ready, change your clothes and put on makeup, and bring Huang Bo's guitar over."

This time, Huang Bo will be the core figure of the patient mutual aid group in the play, and he will have much more screen time than Qiao Zhenyu and others.

"This is a great arrangement, Lao Wei. I haven't sung for a long time. I'd like to show you my skills today."

"By the way, is Mr. Wei going to appear in today's scene?"

"Well, didn't you see that Director Lu was in charge behind the surveillance camera?"

"Haha, okay, let's see Lao Wei's acting skills today." Half an hour later, everyone was ready, and Lu Yang, who was sitting behind the monitor, gave the order.

"action!"

In today's scene, the hero and heroine meet for the first time at a mutual aid group gathering.

The plot is a bit cliché, with the two people bumping into each other at a corner, and then apologizing to each other after looking at each other.

Just looking at the picture in the camera, Lu Yang frowned.

"Cut, the last shot doesn't work, let's do another one."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Bai, Qiao Zhenyu and others who were waiting on the side were stunned. Is Lu Yang trying to rebel?
Wei Jin didn't mind at all. He walked to the monitor and took a look. He understood the connection and then explained to Liu Yifei:

"Yifei, our eyes are not right. We are strangers. We didn't handle the first meeting well. Let's do another one."

"it is good."

Liu Yifei nodded immediately and moved back to her position with Wei Jin.

"action!"

"Crack, come again!"

"action!"

"Crack, come again!"

After two consecutive NGs, a total of four takes, we finally completed filming Wei Jin's first scene in the play.

Shu Chang, Luo Jin, Huang Bo and others who were watching the show on the side all gave Lu Yang a thumbs up. It was really awesome that he dared to make the big boss NG so many times!
"Oh, I was worried that he wouldn't be able to follow my scenes, but I didn't expect so many NGs."

When Wei Jin heard Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and others making fun of her acting skills, she staggered, as if this NG had nothing to do with her.

Wei Jin was just thinking about how to deal with this little girl in the evening when Lu Yang shouted the order "All units prepare".

All the actors, including Wei Jin, immediately sat in a circle as requested by the executive director.

"action!"

In the surveillance footage, Huang Bo played and sang a song with a guitar, winning applause from the crowd.

Then he stood up, looked around, and suggested with a smile:
"Welcome everyone to the [Patient Support Group]. There are many new friends here today. Let's introduce ourselves again. How about the old friends come first?"

Shu Chang stood up first. Her makeup looked a little pale, but the smile on her face was full of healing.

"Hello everyone, I have acute myeloid leukemia and have been a member of the mutual aid group for many years. Here I feel everyone's care and encouragement, which gives me the courage to survive.
I also hope that new friends can be positive in this atmosphere and say no to the disease together."

Next, we will introduce Qiao Zhenyu's lymphoma and Lei Datou's kidney failure.
At this time, the camera turned to Wei Jin, who was looking at Liu Yifei from time to time. The latter obviously noticed it, and a shy and embarrassed look appeared on her face. She looked around, trying to avoid embarrassment.

In the end, I couldn't resist Wei Jin's gaze and couldn't help but look back.

This time, the eye contact was different from the previous one at the corner. There seemed to be a wonderful feeling rippling in the hearts of the two young people.

The camera switches to Luo Jin's turn. He stands up, looks around, and introduces himself:
"I have retinoblastoma and my eye is a fake one, but I have a girlfriend who loves me deeply, so I don't find life difficult. I am here today to accompany my good friend."

As he spoke, Luo Jin looked at Wei Jin, who immediately rolled up one of his trouser legs, revealing his calf wrapped in green cloth.

"Bone cancer. I've had my limb amputated before."

This part will be made into a prosthetic limb using special effects later, and the actors on the scene are all veterans, so no one showed any abnormality.

Next, they continued to introduce themselves. After Liu Yifei finished introducing herself, Huang Bai was the only one left at the scene.

Lu Yang, who was sitting behind the monitor, knew that it was time to test the skills of the veteran actor.

In the picture, Huang Bai changed his previous optimistic and funny appearance and sat in his seat with a lonely expression, his legs slightly bent inward.

"I had testicular cancer and had it removed many years ago. My wife divorced me."

"Ugh"

There was a sigh at the scene.

"Click! Very good, this one passed."

As soon as Lu Yang finished speaking, Lei Datou rushed towards Huang Bai and punched him in the chest.

"Brother Bo, your acting is amazing, let me see if he is really gone, haha"

"Big head, get out of my way!"

"Hahaha"

People in the entertainment industry are always separated by time, and even though several of the people who came to guest star today are all actors from the company, the time they can get together is really rare.

Therefore, Wei Jin specially arranged a dinner in the evening, which can also be regarded as a memory of "Those Years".

Before we knew it, we had known each other for more than 8 years, and the table was filled with sighs and lamentations.

After reminiscing about the past, everyone started talking about their recent work.

Perhaps because he wants to continue his glory, Xu Ke is very concerned about "Shendu Dragon King". The publicity work started 20 days in advance and Qiao Zhenyu will join the crew soon.

Lei Datou was fooled by his best friend Guo Jinfei and starred in a TV series "Dragon Gate Escort" last year, which will be aired at the end of next month.

The movie "Beauty of War" that Shu Chang filmed last year was just sold due to the inefficiency of the production team, and the specific broadcast time is still unknown.

Huang Bo invited everyone to attend the premiere of "No Man's Land" on the 5th, and of course everyone responded.

"Brother Bo, then you will have to compete with your confidante, haha."

Lei Datou smiled and joked that there was only a difference of two days between "No Man's Land" and "The Secret: Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", but they were absolute competitors.

"What are you talking about? We are just friends."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Sister Zhilin said that if you weren't married, she would want to get married, haha."

"Yes, she said she was a little into the role in "101 Marriage Proposals". Brother Bo, that's amazing. That's Sister Zhilin."

"."

Huang Bai was teased in various ways and could no longer bear it, so he acted like a big brother and started looking for people to drink with him frequently.

Except for Luo Jin, everyone else's scenes were also finished, and they were not exhausted at all. Even Shu Chang picked up his glass and started drinking.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly reached a climax.

The dinner came to an end in a lively atmosphere. Because the filming was done near Beijing, the crew did not arrange accommodation, so everyone went home.

Tonight, Wei Jin specially brought Liu Yifei to Xishan Villa because they could have fun here.

Wei Jin was not a pervert. After the girl sincerely admitted her mistake and made a series of promises, he changed his course.

However, as the saying goes, one can escape the death penalty, but one cannot escape the crime. Liu Yifei then changed three sets of clothes in the room, becoming a flight attendant, a nurse, and a student.

Each set was reduced to ashes under the violence of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
