Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 367 - The little mind is quite clever

At this moment, Chen Yu was teasing and harassing Bai Lu. Director Liu Zhangmu behind the monitor was even more amazed. Chen Yu interpreted the rogue and bastard energy very well.

The only small flaw is that Chen Yu didn't take the initiative, but director Liu Zhangmu can understand why it was designed like this. After all, being an undercover agent also requires sticking to a certain bottom line.

The script of "Operation Icebreaker" has been revised and corrected many times. Only the character names are left in the original version, and the logic, plot, and characters have been repeatedly overthrown and rebuilt.

The male protagonist in the first-generation version was passionate, fearless, and firm in his beliefs, but the big bosses behind the scenes were very dissatisfied. They wanted a realistic style rather than a police superman.

If it were filmed according to the original version, it would be equivalent to portraying the male protagonist as a cold front in the police world. The audience would probably abandon the show and change channels after watching more than a dozen episodes.

Therefore, the big boss behind the scenes told the production team of "Operation Icebreaker" not to always try to flatter, but to respect the facts and perform reasonable artistic processing based on the facts.

Immediately afterwards, the screenwriting team began to drastically dismember the first-generation version and adjust the character models, but here the screenwriting team borrowed many settings from "Infernal Affairs".

Therefore, the six scripts submitted one after another are too depressing in terms of branch plots and main plots. Although they are very close to reality, they will make the audience feel entangled.

Judging from the perspective of actors, people including Wu Gang, Wang Jinsong, Ning Li, Gong Lei and others believe that the fifth version is the one that best demonstrates their own strengths.

The characters in the fifth edition are very three-dimensional. No matter whether they are decent or villains, they are not outlined as symbolic characters. All characters will face the choice between good and evil.

The superior leaders in the decent camp can sacrifice their subordinates to complete the mission, and the vicious villains in the villain team can also have a sincere brotherhood.

Although this version of the script delighted many powerful actors in terms of artistry, it only captured the essence of life and failed to achieve a reasonable and appropriate level above life.

In addition, the screenwriting team seems to have changed from borrowing from "Infernal Affairs" to imitating "New World", which makes iQiyi feel a little burning pain in the left and right cheeks.

If Gong Yu were to hand over this assignment to the big boss behind the scenes for review, wouldn't he just be waiting to be scolded? How can we cooperate with others in the future to obtain the filming rights for special themes?

After "Operation Icebreaker" is launched, the project of "Venom Hunter", which will be released next year, has been approved, and the performance contracts of Yu Hewei, Xu Zheng, and Wang Jinsong have been signed.

If this series affects iQiyi's strategic planning for next year, no one in the series' creative team headed by Fu Dongyu and Liu Zhangmu will have an easy time!
Therefore, the fifth version of the script, which was regarded as a treasure by powerful actors such as Wu Gang, Wang Jinsong, and Ning Li, was directly scrapped, which became a big regret in their hearts.

The subsequent sixth and seventh versions of the scripts were not much different in terms of plot construction. The main adjustment direction was the character setting, which continuously deepened the negative emotions of the male protagonist.

Moreover, the male protagonist has been changed from a hot-blooded police officer standing in the sun to an undercover agent hiding in the shadows. From the character setting alone, it is actually a return to "Infernal Affairs".

Fu Min, the new script director and script reviewer Wang Hailin who came to the rescue, cleverly used stitching to downplay the figure of "Chen Yongren".

As a result, the ninth version of the script finally achieved a balance between being close to reality and reasonable artistic processing, which made the big investors behind the scenes very satisfied and praised it.

It's a pity that Fu Min and Wang Hailin did not consider that Chen Yu's imitation object when interpreting the male protagonist was Chen Yongren, but this matter was beyond their scope of authority.

Since the chief director Fu Dongyu allowed and even encouraged Chen Yu to do this, the two people who were only responsible for the script work did not need to take the initiative to remind and advise.

To be honest, Chen Yu's way of imitating Chen Yongren to interpret the male protagonist is quite interesting, especially the complexity of his expression and the loneliness of his back.

But the disadvantage is that Chen Yu only imitated the appearance but never found Chen Yongren's energy. Whenever he had powerful party scenes with Wu Gang and other powerful actors, he seemed very weak.

Fortunately, this group of powerful people are also very understanding of people and the world. Hui Hui guided Chen Yu to stabilize his rhythm and tried their best to help him show his relatively good side.

"Stop, this piece needs to be reworked." Director Liu Zhangmu raised his hand and motioned for Bai Lu to come over. Chen Yu's performance just now could be rated full marks, but Bai Lu was really close.

Chen Yu's rogue character is truly stunning and even shocked director Liu Zhangmu.

If judged based solely on the three-plus minutes of footage, Chen Yu definitely deserves to be nominated for the Magnolia Award.

From his body posture to facial expressions and words and deeds, he looks like a gangster.

It can be seen that the American cowboy culture did not teach Chen Yu any progressive ideas or good qualities, because director Liu Zhangmu felt that Chen Yu had no trace of acting.

Although he is not a famous director, he can still distinguish the difference between superb acting skills and showing his true colors. He estimates that Chen Yu was definitely not a kind person in the United States.

In fact, Bai Lu, who plays opposite Chen Yu, was also shocked by the former's street gangster habits. In other words, in Bai Lu's eyes, Chen Yu just now was a gang member.

This caused her to act timidly, fearing that Chen Yuzhen would beat her up or molest her.

"Bailu, you need to be brave and decisive to pave the way for the subsequent plot. Otherwise, Chen Yu will subconsciously dodge as soon as he takes a look at you, which will cause the plot link to be interrupted."

Director Liu Zhangmu asked the stage manager Han Zhenjiang to get a bottle of juice for Bailu and let her take a few sips to calm down.

"Does Brother Chen and I need to arrange the relevant actions in advance for the pulling and pushing plot of the director?" Bailu had already recovered after the sweet and sour juice entered his mouth. Why does Chen Yu's appearance as a criminal make people tremble when he looks so cute? Bai Lu wiped his pretty face and turned to look at Chen Yu, who was interacting with fans.

Director Liu Zhangmu pondered for a moment and then told Bai Lu that there was no need to deliberately design the movements, but he must be careful with his nails. Bai Lu spread his hands on his knees and glanced down.

Because she was going to join the cast of "Swagger", she deliberately grew her nails slightly longer according to the stylist's request, but now Bai Lu decided to cut them off for the director's job.

Although Director Liu Zhangmu could see what she was thinking, her affection for Bailu still improved a notch. Sometimes such superficial actions can work wonders.

But as Teacher Gao Ming said before, young actors today are willing to sacrifice their future for short-term interests. Just now, Bailu didn't think too much about the new crew.

But the opportunity to improve his favor is indeed fleeting and Bailu cannot weigh it carefully.

"Bai Lu, you have to be brave and decisive, don't be cowed and frightened like the photos in the series."

Director Liu Zhangmu made a final statement and let Bai Lu and Chen Yu return to their initial positions.

In order to pursue a sense of integration into the scene, the smashing of the store while Chen Yu was teasing Bai Lu would be done simultaneously, instead of shooting the two sets of plots separately to save trouble.

This made Bai Lu a little nervous. After all, if she made a mistake, she would have to ask the crew to clean up the supermarket floor and rearrange the various shelves.

"This is what people earn. As long as you perform normally, you will have plenty of time to shoot."

Chen Yu handed the folding umbrella as a prop to Bai Lu and taught her how to swing it more beautifully. This is a small skill in martial arts scenes and is very suitable for female artists.

Chopping from top to bottom and lifting from bottom to top both make the female artist with a cylindrical weapon look strong, so Chen Yu asked Bai Lu to use this pointless folding umbrella to poke.

"But don't hold the tail of the umbrella tightly, but hold it near the middle." Chen Yu showed Bai Lu with a water bottle and instructed the latter on how to exert and release force.

Bai Lu performed very well during the scene, but when it came to actual filming, she turned her angry and grievance-filled responses into a fight similar to a fight between classmates or friends.

The rather gentle movements were very different from her frowning and glaring expression. Even the passers-by who were watching laughed in good faith after director Liu Zhangmu called to stop again.

No matter how well Bai Lu performed, he was still proactive in admitting his mistakes. While bowing to the cast and crew on the set to express his apology, he also expressed sympathy to the passers-by.

Chen Yu admired Chen Yu for her secret marketing skills. As a rising star of Jiu Ling Hua, Bai Lu was already as good as her predecessors in terms of sheer scheming.

Although Bailu cannot threaten Li Yitong, who is infinitely supported by Dilraba.

But it is a huge challenge for Jiulinghua, except Zhou Dongyu, Yang Zi, and Guli Nazha. Chen Yu thinks that Tan Songyun and Jin Chen may not be able to defeat her.

It would be another matter if those sisters could continue to produce high-quality works on the big screen. As for White Deer, which has already emerged in the drama market, it is very powerful.

These things were told by Chen Yu when he heard Dilraba and Guli Nazha chatting. They liked Bailu's boyish character, but did not want to cooperate with him.

As for the reason, Chen Yu didn't know, but he was probably afraid of being overpowered by his juniors. After all, all you have to do is buy a pornographic press release, and no qualification certification is required.

Dilraba has stopped buying pornographic press releases since she announced her relationship with Chen Yuguan, and she also secretly negotiated with Baidu and Weibo to remove the pornographic press releases she had previously posted.

The reason why she did this was because Dilraba wanted her baby to think that her mother was an actress rather than a tacky star showing off her looks and figure.

Dilraba also knows that her appearance cannot even dominate a province, so how can she reach the supreme level of beauty that dominates the whole country.

Therefore, she is now starting to tidy things up in an orderly manner to avoid backlash. Dilraba, who will get married to Chen Yu next year, no longer cares about fame.

Gulinaza, who has always learned from Dilraba in terms of fashion, is also gradually reducing the frequency and intensity of publishing press releases.

At the same time, he transitioned his red carpet style from sexy to light and sophisticated.

At present, her career is steadily improving with a slight increase. She no longer needs to rely on the red carpet to highlight her presence or attract popularity and traffic.

The focus of Gulinazha’s work next year is to digest and accumulate this year’s surge in popularity and benefits and lay a solid foundation.

In addition, she also has to prepare for taking over the role of the first sister in Jiaxing in the middle of next year.

One of the signals that Dilraba and Chen Yu received a marriage certificate was to withdraw from Jiaxing.
