China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 114 Moonlight Script, Teruko is not that kind of person!
May 2, morning.

It was the Lantern Festival, and the streets of Yanjing CBD seemed a little deserted.

The crew of "Yanjing Love Story" is filming the opening scene of the play here——

Lin Xia (played by Zuo Xiaoqing) pretends to commit suicide by jumping off a building in order to force out Cheng Feng (played by Chu Hui) who has not been seen for a long time.

Li Chen, Shi Xiaomeng (played by Zhang Yi), and Fei Si (played by Zhou Xiaoou) stepped forward to stop him and offered some kind words.

Unexpectedly, Wu Di (played by Li Chen), who was also facing betrayal, jumped out of the house impulsively when Lin Xia (played by Zuo Xiaoqing) told him something important.

At the scene, Li Chen was jumping on the roof of the building, while sixty or seventy extras were crowded together downstairs. For an urban emotional drama, the scene was a bit big.

In order to promote the drama "Yanjing Love Story", Chu Hui and Zhu Zhibin also allowed the media to visit the set for interviews.

As for Chu Hui, who was sitting in front of the monitor, although it was his first time as a director to shoot a dangerous scene, he acted quite calmly in the face of such a big scene.

Normally, a stuntman would be hired to act in such a dangerous scene, but Li Chen acted in person.

Li Xiaoran was not mainly worried about Li Chen, but worried about Chu Hui. After all, Chu Hui was not only the star and screenwriter of "Yanjing Love Story", but also the producer and director of the show.

There is a saying that a young and talented director like Chu Hui can definitely be regarded as a rare existence in the current film and television industry.

Unlike the flustered Li Chen, Chu Hui, who is both a director and an actor, did not panic at all. He held a walkie-talkie and managed the scene with ease.

Li Xiaoran, who plays the second female lead Wu Mei in the play, felt worried and uneasy when he saw Chu Hui becoming a director at a young age.

Although they were well prepared, the crew was still very nervous. The preparations were repeated many times. Director Chu Hui decided to start filming only when everything was sure to be perfect.

After a few days of turning on the phone, Yang Mi began to realize that Chu Hui and Li Xiaoran seemed to be very close, so she restrained herself a little.

Even though he was hanging wires, jumping from a six-story building still tested his courage, and Li Chen looked very nervous in the air.

"When Chen'er read the script, he didn't raise any objections. He thought that a substitute would be arranged for the jumping scene."

Among them, Yang Mi was the most flattering.

This made the reporter a little strange. Regarding this issue, Chu Hui, as a director, "surrendered" very happily.

Li Xiaoran was afraid that if he was not careful, Li Chen would fall from the 6th floor and become unrecognizable.

And women have a strong nature. Faced with Chu Hui, who is so young and capable and has leadership skills, it is difficult for the actresses who worked with Chu Hui on the crew not to be attracted by him.

"But when this scene was shown on TV, there were actually many close-ups of facial expressions. In order to highlight the reality, I coerced him and said, you have to dance by yourself. Chen'er thought about it, nodded and agreed, and that's how we are today. This scene."

Including Tong Liya, the directors they worked with in the past were all bad old men who were over forty or fifty years old, or even fifty or sixty years old.

Yang Mi, Zuo Xiaoqing, Tong Liya and others looked at Chu Hui with admiration and admiration as he "pointed the country" on the set.

After all, Li Chen didn't know whether Chu Hui, who was a director for the first time, was reliable. If he was not reliable, today next year might be his memorial day.

If something happened to Li Chen, or an accident occurred, Chu Hui would definitely be involved, and he might be the one most responsible.

In order to ensure Li Chen's safety, Chu Hui also took many precautionary measures. Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars were parked at the scene, and a huge inflatable mattress was placed in the open space in front of the building to prevent accidents.

At the same time, the crew also brought in a crane to fix the wire and prevent Li Chen from being affected by the wind and hitting the facade of the building when he jumped.

He told reporters with a smile that he "forced" Li Chen to jump off the building.

At first, Yang Mi didn't know that Chu Hui and Li Xiaoran had a close relationship. She often had ambiguous interactions with Chu Hui on the set because she had shed blood for Chu Hui.

Chu Hui took the walkie-talkie and gave a special instruction to the photographer: "Pay attention to photography. When Chen'er falls down later, be sure to capture a close-up of his face!"

After making sure that everything was ready, Chu Hui turned around and nodded to the assistant director.

"All departments prepare!"

"Start shooting!"

With the assistant director's order, the shooting of the jumping scene officially began.

In front of the camera, Li Chen jumped from a six-story building, causing a wave of exclamations from the onlookers downstairs.

However, the first two shootings did not meet Chu Hui's requirements. Li Chen climbed to the sixth floor again, and then jumped again. After Li Chen jumped off the building for the third time and landed safely, Chu Hui watched the replay and made sure there was no problem, then he took the walkie-talkie and said with a smile: "Passed!"

Hearing the words "passed", Li Chen was instantly relieved.

At this time, various media outlets that came to visit the cast also obtained approval from the crew and interviewed Li Chen immediately.

When asked if he was scared just now, Li Chen said with a smile: "I am still scared. I feel a little nervous every time I jump. I don't dare to look down, and I am also a little worried that something will go wrong during the operation."

In addition, Li Chen also said frankly that when he was about 20 meters away, he felt weightless and his heart dropped with a "pop". It felt like this scene was filmed three times, like three bungee jumps.

It is worth mentioning that there are currently three people in the crew of "Yanjing Love Story": Chu Hui, Li Chen, and Zhang Yi. Wang Baoqiang, Duan Yihong, Zhang Guoqiang and others did not appear.

Chu Hui revealed to reporters that Chengcai and Xu Sanduo, as fellow countrymen in "Soldier Assault", Wang Baoqiang was also one of the actors he invited.

Li Chen and Zhang Yi had made an agreement when they had a drink together the year before last.

Chu Hui was not sure whether the Soldier Gang could regroup.

"I hope that none of the brothers will be missing in the end to support this drama."

"Fortunately, they all agreed to come, and I have reserved roles for Wang Baoqiang, Duan Yihong, and Zhang Guoqiang."

"The number of scenes is really not that small. I hope their schedule will allow it in the end."

"Of course, I can understand if they don't have time to come..."

They are all brothers who have shared joys and sorrows together. Will Chu Hui, who is a director for the first time, know, dare, and how to give orders to his brothers?
Chu Hui smiled and replied: "I have a good temper and will definitely not get angry. If any of us has an idea, we will sit down and have a chat. We have a tacit understanding with each other."

As the leading actor, Chu Hui did not have a role that day. He had a stubble on his face and was wrapped in a military coat. Although he was active and "exposedly domineering", he still could not hide his tiredness and vicissitudes of life.

As a complete newcomer in the directing circle, Chu Hui said with emotion: "The director has to do a lot of work, including scenes, costumes, soundtrack, team, distribution, everything has to be taken care of."

"Moreover, I am also the producer of this drama. I have to participate in financing and discuss product placement. I have to take care of everything. For a while, I used my brain too much and couldn't sleep well. I had to drink a little red wine every day to fall asleep. "

Chu Hui smiled and said that he was still able to cope with it so far: "I have enough energy, and I turned down a lot of dramas, and I also declined all the recent announcement activities."

Having said that, Chu Hui considers himself to be in a good state of mind, "There is no anxiety, only the excitement of creation."

He even wrote three words in big letters on the back of his military coat: "Work hard" and "I am an actor, but I also hope that as a director, I can also be recognized."

However, since Li Xiaoran is the second female lead in the show and has a role almost every day, Chu Hui is also relatively honest and works conscientiously on the set every day.

Because Li Xiaoran would usually go to the room to find him after the show, Chu Hui could not discuss the Moonlight script with the actresses in the hotel where the crew stayed.

Although Chu Hui is not very interested in Yang Mi, Zuo Xiaoqing and others, Chu Hui is still very interested in Tong Liya.

Otherwise, Chu Hui would not have signed Tong Liya to his studio and let her star in the heroine of "Yanjing Love Story".

For several nights, Chu Hui wanted Tong Liya to come to his room and talk to her about the script and the duets, but because of Li Xiaoran's presence, he was never able to make a breakthrough.

Fortunately, Tong Liya's contract still has 6 years, and there is plenty of time and opportunities. Chu Hui can only comfort himself in this way.

Tong Liya didn't think much about it. She just felt that Chu Hui was capable and a popular actor. She was just a newcomer with little fame, so she didn't think Chu Hui could like her.

Moreover, Chu Hui himself was popular with girls and had very good relationships with Li Xiaoran, Yang Mi and others. Tong Liya didn't even dare to think about it, and even felt a little inferior.

Because Chu Hui loved her very much, although Li Xiaoran did not announce her relationship with Chu Hui, she seemed to regard herself as Chu Hui's girlfriend.

Perhaps because of a woman's sixth sense, Li Xiaoran soon noticed that Yang Mi looked at Chu Hui, something seemed a little off, so he asked Chu Hui in a subtle way: "Huizi, what's going on between you and Yang Mi?"

Chu Hui pretended to be impatient and said: "What is the situation? If I have a problem with her, will I still sleep with you every day?"

After hearing Chu Hui's answer, Li Xiaoran also felt that it was reasonable and still defended Chu Hui in his heart.

Even if there is really something between Yang Mi and Huizi, it must be Yang Mi's little vixen who took the initiative, and Huizi is not that kind of person at all.

In Li Xiaoran's view, at least for now, Chu Hui is her man. Even if he really has an affair with Yang Mi, her Hui Zi is in charge and will not suffer any loss!
