China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 66: Filming "Xiu Chun Knife"
  "Reprinted from Hollywood Entertainment News: The new movie "Insidious", a second collaboration between Lionsgate and Future Pictures, has been officially approved. It is reported that the script was provided by Chen Dong, the director of my country's Billion Dollar Club!"

"The crew of "The Spring Knife" held a film launch conference in Hengdian yesterday. Director Chen personally broke the news at the venue that Liu Yifei's female lead was a gift from Director Chen, and the two's suspected relationship was exposed."

"Liu Yifei's mother, Ms. Liu Xiaoli, responded to the online scandal about her daughter and Director Chen, saying that the two are just classmates and friends, not lovers!"

"Dongcheng Pictures general manager Zhong Lifang accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Sohu.com at 10 o'clock this morning. Manager Zhong announced that Dongcheng Pictures has officially established an artist economics business... The current contracted artist is Yang Mi."

"According to insiders, Wang Jinhua, the top manager in China, is suspected of having irreconcilable conflicts with the two presidents of Huayi, and his own artists have taken sides."

"If you sing well, you will act, and if you act well, you will direct! The movie "Initial D" starring crooked singer Jay Chou has already been scheduled for June 6, and Jay Chou will hold a concert tour in the mainland early next month. Promote the movie…”

"..."

There is a lot of news on the Internet every day, and in Chen Dong's opinion, this is nothing surprising.

However, this is the first time in my past and present lives that I have been rumored to have an affair.

I want to ask about my feelings...well, it's probably quite new (xuan).

"My mother asked your company to clarify the scandal about us online."

"Didn't I clarify it at the press conference yesterday? Besides, the more you talk about scandals, the more excited the media and netizens will be. My suggestion is to treat it coldly. After a few days, the heat will dissipate, and other news will naturally Replaced."

"is it?"

"Yes."

Chen Dong is not in a hurry to clarify the scandal, naturally because the target of the scandal is Liu Yifei.

If it were another person, he might have said something else.

……

When Liu Xiaoli heard what her daughter brought back, she angrily poked her head.

"You, you...oh, forget it, go and act properly."

"Well, don't worry mom, it's just a rumor, it's not true."

If only it was just a scandal... Liu Xiaoli waved her hands towards her daughter heartbrokenly and said with emotion: There is no chance for a girl to stay in college.

At the same time, on the other side, all the crew members of "Xiu Chun Knife" have already performed their duties, and the actors have also taken their places. With the order from director Chen Dong, today's first scene kicked off... …

"Field management board."

"3, 2, 1, ACTION!"

"Pass!"

Chen Dong picked up the loudspeaker and said:
  "Okay, let the actors take a five-minute break and shoot the next scene in five minutes."

……

Three days later, Liu Yifei's first scene was filmed.

Even though Chen Dong had expected it, it was still a bit miserable when it was actually filmed.

"Ka, actress, don't look at the camera."

"Ka, the actress's performance is not intense enough. She needs to be more emotionally full."

"Stuck, the actress is over-emotional."

"Ka...everyone take a rest."

Chen Dong called the little girl who was stunned to one side alone and started a small stove.

"Sorry, I……"

"I'm not sorry. Just relax, don't tense up too much, and just show off your acting skills when you played with me last night."

After some guidance from Chen Dong, Liu Yifei's performance really improved a lot.

After two more NG attempts, the first shot passed.

Compared to Liu Yifei, Yang Mi's acting skills are a little better.

But definitely not much.

On average, it takes 7 or 8 NG shots to pass. Huang Xiaoming's acting skills were actually quite worrisome at the beginning. Chen Dong NGed him in more than scenes. It was as if this guy suddenly had an enlightenment and his acting skills suddenly improved.

In fact, the best actor in the entire cast is Mr. Jin Shijie who plays Wei Zhongxian.

When shooting his scenes, if other actors didn't make mistakes, he would have been able to shout out only one or two times on average.

Hu Ge also has a lot of problems, and his biggest problem is actually the same as Liu Yifei, which is to transfer their previous habits of making TV series into making movies.

This is actually a taboo.

Fortunately, Hu Ge was willing to learn and even took Jin Shijie as his teacher on the set. His progress was no slower than that of Miss Liu, who was trained by Chen Dong himself.

Although Nie Yuan is also a niche student, his acting skills are much more stable than Huang Xiaoming's, and he doesn't need Chen Dong to worry about.

And in fact, at the launch conference that day, Chen Dong drove away the reporter who made the accusation for him, not only because the reporter was 'unobtrusive', but also because Nie Yuan was his hometown.

As for Zhou Yiwei and Zhang Songwen, they are just not famous, but they have acting skills and they cherish the opportunity. Chen Dong does not need to worry.

However, in recent times, Zhu Yawen's condition has declined somewhat.

"What's wrong? There were a lot of NGs today. You feel uncomfortable after being scolded by me, right?"

After the play, Chen Dong approached Lao Zhu. After all, the two were classmates and friends. Since they saw a problem, they had to care about it no matter what.

Zhu Yawen shook her head and hit Chen Dong, "You said it was me who NGed a lot. It's fair to scold me a few times. I don't need to be angry because of it."

"What's going on? Are you broken in love?"

"Go away, I don't even have a girlfriend, what kind of love is lost...it's a matter between Sister Hua and Hua Yi."

"Oh? I like to hear this. Please explain it in detail."

"..." Zhu Yawen glanced at this old classmate with eyes full of gossip, a little speechless. At this moment, it was difficult to put him together with the great director who 'denounced Fang Qiu' during the day.

However, he still told the situation before him.

After hearing this, Chen Dong concluded that Huayi and Wang Jinhua would separate sooner or later, and both sides are currently competing for artists.

"Did you three sign the original contract to Huayi or Wang Jinhua?"

"Miss Hua."

"Then what are you struggling with here?"

"But Sister Hua said that if we want to stay at Huayi, she will not tie us up with a contract."

"Haha, I can't tell she is still a good person."

Zhu Yawen could hear the doubt in Chen Dong's words.

So he explained: "It should be that Sister Hua and the two Mr. Wang have reached a consensus. Even if the contract is signed to the company, if you want to follow Sister Hua, Huayi will not stop it."

"What do Luo Jin and Zhou Yang think?"

"Luo Jin probably wants to stay at Huayi. Zhou Yang will probably follow Sister Hua. I...I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Then think about it carefully. Huayi has many resources, but there are also many who share them. As for Wang Jinhua, just because she can secure the position of the number one agent in the country, it is enough to show that she is not a simple woman."

"Dongzi, do you advise me to choose Sister Hua?"

"Haha, of course not. If you are really hesitant, I think you can try to guess Ding Ke."

How could Chen Dong help Zhu Yawen make a decision on such an important matter, so he finally made a joke.

……

At the beginning, the crew of "Xiu Chun Knife" was in the running-in period, and the filming progress could not be improved. However, as the actors gradually found their groove, and everyone had a tacit understanding due to familiarity, the filming speed was much faster than initially.

Fulfilling time always passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since the filming of "Xiu Chun Dao", and about one-half of the film was shot. However, there is some bad news. Chen Dong's assistant director ran away...

　The temperature dropped suddenly yesterday and I caught a cold! Brothers, please also keep warm!
