Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 25 In the Name of Visiting the Set

In a conference room, Li Chen sat at a rectangular conference table, with the main creative staff of "Shoplifters" sitting on both sides.

The youngest is Guan Xiaotong, who is less than 7 years old.

His thin body seemed somewhat malnourished.

It fits the appearance of the daughter who was abused by her original family very well.

This little girl will next play Xiao Qingcheng in The Promise.

"Senior Sister Mei Ting, you have been childless all your life, but you have come to your senses during these few days in prison."

"That's why I told Tai (Shota) personally the clues about his biological parents."

"It may seem like you've pushed your son away, but at this moment you already have the selfless love that only a mother can have."

"At this moment you are already a qualified mother."

"Your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, this glance back at me when you return to the cell."

“There should be a sense of satisfaction that I am content, but also a sense of relief that I have been freed from constraints.”

Li Chen talked incessantly, and Mei Ting nodded in response while taking notes.

In one afternoon, Li Chen went over the process with each actor.

It wasn't over until almost six o'clock.

Li Xuejian said with a smile: "At this moment, we are finally in harmony with the director."

Lü Ying nodded and said, "I have always been curious, and today after listening to the director's explanation of the role, I am even more curious."

“How did the director, at his age, write such a profound and realistic script?”

"I wouldn't be surprised if the director was the same age as Xue Jian."

Li Chen smiled and said without blushing, "Teacher Lu, you are too kind. Young people like to have wild thoughts."

"I was inspired to write this after seeing a news report about a thief."

first scene
Action
The story is set in a small town on the coast of a country in East Asia.

Li Xuejian and his son were stealing in a supermarket.

Xie Miao conveys his complex inner thoughts through strange finger movements.

At the critical moment, Li Xuejian used his body to block the tally clerk.

Xie Miao moved quickly, put the things into his schoolbag, and then quickly fled the supermarket.
Teacher Li Xuejian has a good grasp of facial expression management.

His evasive eyes and cowering, hunched posture make him look like a habitual thief from the lower class.

It really proves the saying that a good actor can play any role well.

A bad actor always seems to be playing himself no matter what role he plays.

Hengdian Film and Television City has experienced a blowout boom since the beginning of this year.

The total number of film and television productions in 2004 was equivalent to % to % of the previous decade.

So during the filming of "Shoplifters", many colleagues wanted to visit the set.

Li Chen politely declined.

The fourth scene
On a rainy day, dad and mom were the only ones left in the small house.

The two of them had a rare moment of their own world.

My mother dressed up specially and wore a sexy, tight, see-through dress.

This made my father, who was eating, a little restless.

It was time for the only passionate scene between mom and dad.

In order to let the two actors relax more, Li Chen specially asked everyone to leave.

Both of them are professional actors, and their portrayal of the passionate release that comes after a long drought is very touching.

Mei Ting has a really good figure, no wonder.
Of course, in order to be able to be released in China, Li Chen used camera switching and long shots to omit some of the exposed parts.

When the film was released in the island country, the male and female protagonists were both naked, which would definitely not be allowed in China.

After the passion, the two were sweating and lying naked on the floor.

The woman's curvy figure and the man's skinny and old appearance formed a sharp contrast.

During their conversation, it was revealed that they were not a real couple.

The man simply assisted the woman in killing her ex-husband who had been violently abusing her for a long time.

The two were about to rekindle their fight when they heard a noise outside the house and the children came back.

The two of them put on their clothes clumsily, and Dad acted as if nothing had happened.

Teacher Li Xuejian portrayed the person who was clearly feeling embarrassed.

But the contradictory inner struggle that cannot be expressed is fully revealed through the subtle details.

"Click!" Li Chen gave them a thumbs up and said with a smile, "This one passed."

Mei Ting and Li Xuejian put on their clothes and entered and exited the role with ease.

On June 5000, Emperor Entertainment Group announced a high-profile investment of million to produce the undercover police and gangster blockbuster "New World" in collaboration with Rongchen Pictures.

The slogan used is "Infernal Affairs" against Media Asia.

The industry was full of ridicule, saying that investing a higher amount of money than Infernal Affairs could not bring about the good reputation and high box office of Infernal Affairs.

Almost no one believes that anyone can surpass the classics.

When the media asked where New World's confidence in The Infernal Affairs came from, Emperor Entertainment Group claimed.

The script of "New World" is based on the original script directed by Li Chen from the Billion Dollar Director Club.

The story is as exciting and true as Infernal Affairs.

The main cast of "New World" also includes movie kings such as Nick Cheung, Tony Leung, and Simon Yam.

We also have a professional production team from Emperor Entertainment Group, so we are fully confident that we can surpass the achievements of Infernal Affairs.
Soon after, Xu Zheng's "Nightclub" also completed the casting.

Li Chen took a look and found that Xu Zheng had a good vision.

The people chosen are all very talented in comedy, such as Jiang Chao, Lei Jiayin, and Huang Bo.

For the role of Li Xiaolu, Xu Zheng chose Du Ruoxi, who is much more eye-catching than Li Xiaolu.

However, Xu Zheng is also a ruthless person. As a fellow student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Huang Bo is still very cheap at this moment.

Unlike the people chosen by the director of "Nightclub" in the previous life.

Except Xu Zheng.

Qiao Renliang, Li Xiaolu, Zhang Jiayi, which one can act in comedy.

Such a good script was ruined, probably because of the limited cost of two million.

At the end of June, when Stone's box office share came in, Li Chen invested the money in Penguin stock.

Crude oil futures cannot be traded now. In the second quarter, international crude oil prices fluctuated between US$34 and US$42.

Li Chen also failed to grasp the timing.

If he buys it at 36 today and it drops to 35 tomorrow, all his work on "Crazy Stone" will be in vain.

It is still safest to hold stocks for the long term.

In mid-August, the box office of "House of Flying Daggers" surpassed that of "Shi Tou", earning 1.5 million yuan in one fell swoop.

Li Chen felt no wavering.

Considering Zhang Yimou's reputation and the joining of a number of big names, this data is not that impressive.

If last year was the year of Zhao Yanzi, then this year is truly the year of Zhang Ziyi.

Whether it is Hero, House of Flying Daggers, or Purple Butterfly, which were released in North America one after another.

It's still Memoirs of a Geisha produced by Spielberg.

This immediately made Zhang's name as an international celebrity famous.

"Shoplifters" is nearing the end of filming.

The arrival of Liu Xiaoli and her daughter really caught Li Chen off guard.

Looking at the graceful Liu Tianxian in front of him, her thick black hair fell on her shoulders.

Wearing a white round-neck T-shirt with cartoon patterns.

The exposed arms, as white and even as lotus roots, are pleasing to the eye.

However, it seems a bit out of place to wear a delicate silver shoulder bag across her body, as she is still wearing a pair of jeans.

This is how much I like jeans.

The girl smiled smugly and said, "Why? You don't welcome my mother and I to visit you?"

Li Chen laughed and said, "You are asking me to break the rules. I always refuse others who want to visit the set."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Li Chen, if it's inconvenient, forget it. Xixi insisted on coming to the crew to study."

"I thought that the actors in your play are indeed talented teachers, so I agreed."

Facing Tianxian's somewhat fierce and cute eyes, Li Chen smiled: "Auntie is right."

"Teacher Lü Ying and Teacher Li Xuejian are both powerful people in the industry."

"If Yifei can learn something from them, she will definitely benefit a lot."

Liu Yifei's face finally cleared up and she smiled, "That's pretty good."

　Thanks to the book friend: Wufeng Yikefei for the reward
　　The first round of recommendations will begin tomorrow. I beg my family to read and support me. I’m so nervous…
