China Entertainment 1997

The movie "Dear" is actually a bit like two independent stories, but they overlap at a few nodes.

Each of the two stories has its own protagonist.

The male protagonist Tian Lijun, played by Cao Xuan, and the second female lead, Tian Lijun's ex-wife Lu Xiaojuan, played by Zeng Li, are the core of the family search incident.

The heroine Li Hongqin, played by Yan Bingyan, has a more complicated story, focusing more on the bitterness and bitterness of being "forced" to part ways as an adoptive mother.

The first half of the movie focuses on Cao and Zeng. After the two find their lost son, Yan is introduced and becomes the main force in the second half.

The two stories are roughly sixty-four chapters long, focusing on "two families" from two perspectives, both closely related and independent.

This is also a relatively common narrative technique in movies.

However, in this way, the core of the movie is somewhat separated. No one is worried about Cao Xuan. With his status and strength, whether Yan Bingyan can support another story has become a concern for many people.

Of course, some people have great confidence in her. After all, Yan Bingyan is not a nobody.

Whether she is the Golden Rooster Queen or "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", it can be seen that she is one of the top actresses among Mesozoic actors. She is not famous, but her hard power is no joke.

Cao Xuan is the one who firmly believes that Yan Bingyan is fine.

The role of Li Hongqin in "Dear" is difficult, and the role of the heroine in "Thousand Arrows Pierced the Heart" is even more difficult. Yan Bingyan can perfectly perform the latter, and the former is naturally not a problem for her.

Facts have proved that Yan Bingyan did not meet Cao Xuan's expectations.

Although Cao Xuan has not filmed a scene opposite her for the time being because the two stories were filmed separately, he can feel that he did not pick the wrong person from the compliments received by other actors and directors.

In a market in Shenzhen City, a large group of people gathered around, excitedly taking photos inside.

The male protagonist Tian Wenjun is set as a small shop owner. In order to facilitate filming, the crew specially chose a small market.

Directly lease it, provide certain subsidies to each shop, and temporarily close the market, which is convenient for shooting and does not affect too many people like street closures.

But even so, the merchants who volunteered to be extras and some of the market's regulars still let it slip that Cao Xuan was filming here.

The Internet is becoming increasingly developed. Netizens can know the world’s affairs with just a mobile phone without going out.

As soon as a few Reuters photos came out, many fans and gourmets came to watch the fun.

The director was very lucky that they chose a market with several entrances, so at least outsiders couldn't come in, and they couldn't capture much information by taking photos. If it were really on the street, it would have been a lot of trouble.

Cao Xuan also kept a low profile. Except for negotiating on the first day, hoping that everyone would pay attention to safety and not disturb the filming, he did not come forward for the other days.

It's not that Boss Cao is arrogant and looks down on people, but he is deliberately lowering the heat.

This is also the experience he has accumulated over many years of filming. Whenever he encounters a crowd of movie fans watching, he has to show his expression, otherwise people will feel too arrogant.

But just express your attitude one by one, but you can't show up every day, otherwise other people will think they can see the big star, and if the word is passed from ten to ten, more and more people will come to watch, and the situation will be difficult to control. .

At that time, Cao Xuan was also keen on being an artist without pretensions, but after suffering a few losses, he realized that sometimes it is not good to be too enthusiastic, and there should be a limit in everything.

There are not many scenes in the market, it will take about a week or so, and it will be a piece of cake for Cao Xuan to try more daily dramas.

Wearing a dark blue middle-aged shirt, Cao Xuan put his bangs down, his face was a little dark, his shoulders were slightly hunched, and he was a middle-aged hawker with a fairly upright appearance.

According to the plot, when the male protagonist and his son were helping the owner of the Internet cafe next door to look after the store, several children went out to play with his son.

The male protagonist didn't want his son to run around, but he didn't want to have a fight with some non-mainstream young people in the Internet cafe. He was busy dealing with it, and a few children ran out. He saw that there were several children, so he glanced at it and didn't think it was too much. Notice.

Little did he know that when his son was playing on the street, he suddenly noticed his mother, Lu Xiaojuan, driving by and hurriedly chased her. However, Lu was concentrating on driving and did not notice her. The son also ran too far and was taken away by a trafficker.

This scene shot by Cao Xuan was about persuading non-mainstream young people to fight. It mainly involved other people's performance. The male protagonist just yelled a few words and occasionally stopped him.

After all, he is a common man, who would easily intervene in such a fight, not to mention that the Internet cafe is not his shop, so he has done his duty by trying to persuade him to stop him.

These non-mainstream people can barely be considered big names.

The assistant director specially found a few acting students from Shenzhen art examination institutions. The ordinary group performances were too fake, and the majority of the actors in the group were not suitable. Finding a few students with some foundation was the most suitable way.

"Okay, passed."

Director Feng Xiaoning went to watch Yan Bingyan's scene today, and Cao Xuan was the executive director.

With a greeting, the students who were pushing him stopped immediately, and one of them even apologized to Cao Xuan.

"Sorry, Teacher Cao, I accidentally hit you just now."

"fine."

A group of people were pushing and shoving, and Cao Xuan was on the side to break up the fight. A bump was inevitable, but Cao Xuan didn't take it seriously at all.

"It's finished today, thank you all for your hard work."

"No hard work, no hard work."

Several students were very excited. Most of them were sophomores or seniors in high school, majoring in performance and preparing for the art exam in the performance department of art colleges such as Beijing Drama College.

Being able to participate in "Dear" and play opposite Cao Xuan this time, even if it is just a background, is a good experience for them, and it can even become a resume.

For example, during the art exam interview, I added that I have starred in "Dear" and I was lucky enough to study with Mr. Cao Xuan. I can't say how useful it is, but at least it is a good bonus compared to other art exam candidates.

"Teacher Cao, can we take a photo together?"

A student with acne on his face boldly asked, and Cao Xuan readily agreed.

Not only did we take a group photo with them, but we also took a photo of each of them individually, which made several students so happy that they almost didn’t ask for their pay.

"If you make a lot of money, go back and show it to our classmates. They will be so envious of you."

"If I want to post it online, I must increase my fans."

"I will directly use it as a QQ avatar."

"I'll show it to my mother. She will definitely wash it out to show off to her relatives."

"Can I buy this costume and take it home? Teacher Cao just took the photo with his arm around my shoulders. I want to store the costume."

"I want to buy it too. This is my first time filming, and it's with a superstar. Haha, I never dreamed of it."

"..."

Listening to the students laughing and playing, and even considering using all their remuneration to buy costumes, Cao Xuan smiled and shook his head.

Carefree and youthful, it’s great to be young!

After filming this scene, Cao Xuan stopped working for the time being, and what was left was the scene of his son chasing the car.

Cao Xuan did not leave, but followed the crew to watch the filming.

In the movie, Tian Wenjun's son Tian Peng is played by two children. According to the setting, they were more than 4 years old before being abducted. The child was found to be about 8 years old a few years later.

The actor Datian Peng was found by the crew. His name is Zhu Xudong, and he is just 9 years old this year.

Xiao Tianpeng was found by Cao Xuan. To be more precise, he was recommended by his aunt's cousin, who is also his... cousin's grandson.

Cousin Cao Xuan is much older than Cao Xuan, and she got married earlier, before she was 20 years old. Her daughter also got married early, in her early 20s.

This also resulted in Cao Xuan already having a grandson two years older than his own son before he reached his forties.

The youngest grandson happened to be named Tian as well. He had a tiger-like head and a tough head, and was quite likable, but his name was quite annoying to Cao Xuan.

Tian Zixuan!

There is no way, Cao Xuan's reputation in his hometown is too high. Since the new century, many children in Zao City have been named with the character "Xuan". Many older generations think that naming with the character "Xuan" will be promising in the future.

As Cao Xuan became richer and richer, and his achievements became higher and higher, more and more people named him became popular.

Especially in Zaoshi, there are names such as Wenxuan, Zixuan, Yixuan, and Haoxuan. Sometimes there may be two-digit names with xuan in a class, and the teacher can be dazzled by calling them.

No relatives or friends, just fellow countrymen, let alone members of my own family.

Although Cao Xuan was a member of the old Cao family, he also had Sun Lan's blood flowing through him, so he was naturally loved by countless relatives of the Sun family.

As the pride of the Cao and Sun families in Zao City, Cao Xuan has a very high prestige among family relatives, and is even deified to a certain extent.

Cao Xuan's niece was his die-hard fan, and she insisted on naming her son with the character "Xuan" in it, not only to express reverence, but also to express some expectations, hoping that her son could also achieve great results in the future.

While preparing for the movie "Dear", Aunt Cao Xuan and her cousin happened to be visiting the house.

This little grandson was playing well with Cao Yang at home. Cao Xuan saw that he was very tough, brave, and quite smart, so he discussed with his cousin how to bring this little baby to play a role.

Of course my cousin agrees. She is not pointing out that the child will enter the entertainment industry and become a famous child star, but it will definitely not hurt to be close to Cao Xuan.

Relying on the relationship between Cao Xuan and Cao Xuan, the Cao and Sun families, as well as their relatives and friends, are actually developing well. Although few of them are successful, they all have enough food and clothing and a small amount of wealth.

To put it bluntly, the ability and vision of the older generation are limited here, and they cannot make any big progress. Cao Xuan has been rich for more than ten years, and the only one who can barely make it out is Uncle Cao Xuan.

There are a few of my peers who are quite good, but except for Cao Ni, who is supported by Cao Xuan, most of them have taken root in Zao City, and few dare to venture outside.

As for the next generation, there are not many adults yet, and it is hard to say about the future, but what is certain is that if they want to break away from Zaoshi and achieve certain achievements, they cannot do without Cao Xuan Zhaofu.

But there are too many children in the next generation and even further down. The direct line is okay, but the collateral line adds up to dozens. Some relatives Cao Xuan has never seen, so there is no family relationship.

Cousin Cao Xuan is a shrewd person. She knows that Cao Xuan has had a good relationship with his relatives over the years because the older generation is here.

Cao Xuan was born into a poor family when he was young. He had always been cared for by his uncles, uncles and aunts when he was a child. He always had affection in his heart, and with Sun Lan and his wife around, he didn't mind helping as long as it wasn't too much.

But the aunt is not young anymore, and Sun Lan is almost in her 60s. When the older generation is gone, the affection between cousins ​​will not be so strong, and it will be even weaker for the next generation.

When the aunt asked for the same thing, Cao Xuan took care of it without saying a word. Cao Xuan was willing to help his cousin because of their childhood friendship, but he might not be able to invite his niece. Maybe he would do it if his grandson came to visit, but not later. Too much affection can be considered wasted.

This is not because Cao Xuan does not recognize his poor relatives, but it is the normal behavior of people who are distant and distant.

Therefore, my cousin hopes that when her aunt and herself are together and the two families are relatively close, the younger generation will be able to brush their faces in front of Cao Xuan. If it catches his eye, even if the elder is not around in the future, Cao Xuan will definitely be willing to support him.

Cao Xuan knew this well.

It's not just the cousin who has this idea. Every time he goes back to his hometown, any clever junior will be brought over to brush his face. If anyone is praised by Cao Xuan, the faces of the adults in the family will be bright.

This alternative comparison made Cao Xuan dumbfounded, but it was also very realistic.

Nowadays, as his status is getting higher and higher, even a few elders are inevitably affected, and most of his peers are a little cautious when facing him.

Let alone a junior, he is an ignorant little brat. Whenever a governor sees him, he is like a savage beast, but his eyes are full of admiration and fanaticism.

Cao Xuan didn't even know how the adults in his family indoctrinated these children...

Cao Xuan actually didn't like this change, but there was nothing he could do about it. Fortunately, there were a few close elders and peers whose attitudes were not too obvious, which gave him some comfort.

He doesn't want to be a lonely man who is in a high position and has nothing to do. It's just outside. What's the point in having everyone look at him at home?

"Xuanxuan, just follow that uncle's instructions and run slowly. Don't be in a hurry."

Zeng Li was also filming on the set, coaxing his little grandson and teaching him how to shoot.

Next to him, Cao Xuan was a little tired. This name really had a lot of flaws, but Empress Xigong liked it very much. She shouted "Xuanxuan" non-stop every day, as if she was addicted to it.

"Uncle, I understand."

The child was quite smart and replied crisply. Zeng Li straightened his clothes and corrected him.

"How should I teach you? Don't call me grandma. If you are old, just call me aunt."

"Oh, uncle and aunt."

"...Okay, you can call me whatever you want."

Zeng Li didn't bother to correct him anymore and stepped forward to drive according to the director's instructions. Under the director's guidance, his little grandson chased after him with his short legs.

It was a very simple scene that was successfully completed within half an hour of filming. The grandson was rewarded with a piece of chocolate, and the crew was ready to call it a day and return to the hotel.

On the way back in the car, Cao Xuan was taking a nap, thinking about tomorrow's scene, when suddenly an exclamation from Zeng Li came from beside him.

"Wang Feng is divorced and his ex-wife tore him apart."

Cao Xuan opened his eyes and took the mobile phone handed over by Zeng Li.

Above is the news. Wang Banbi officially announced his divorce this afternoon, and then his ex-wife began to reveal all kinds of dirty information.

To be honest, this attack was much harder than that of a certain king, and it was extremely realistic.

Apart from other things, Zeng Li and International Zhang were related. She vaguely heard that the two of them had gotten close recently, but she didn't know if they were together.

Moreover, Wang is from the rock and roll industry, and the person currently quarreling online is Wang's third ex-wife.

Divorce is very common in the entertainment industry, but it is relatively rare for an artist to divorce three times in a row.

If we go back ten years, Wang will also shed his skin, but now he will only receive some scolding.

Even getting scolded soon became a luxury.

Because that night, the queen Wang Fei and his ex-wife also officially announced their divorce. As a well-known top couple in the industry, they directly dominated the headlines. Not many people paid attention to the grudges between Wang Fei and his ex-wife.

Perhaps at this moment, Wang Banbi was very lucky to have someone to protect him from the knife.

As everyone knows, it was from this moment on that Wang Banbi completely evolved into Wang Toutiao. For the next ten years, he has been living in the shadow of being unable to make headlines...
