"You asked her to work as a production assistant in "Idol Era"?"

Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in disbelief, feeling stunned by this completely unexpected result.

"Didn't you say that she is not suitable?"

Chen Ziyan calmly pressed her hand, signaling Lu Yanhe to calm down.

"I just said that she is not suitable to be your assistant, but she is quite suitable to be a production assistant in "The Age of Idols". I chatted with her for nearly forty minutes. She is quite smart, and at first glance, it is clear A person with a very mature mind." Chen Ziyan said, "It just so happens that I need someone of my own in "Idol Era" and I don't have any capable people at hand. "

Lu Yanhe said: "What about my assistant?"

Chen Ziyan said: "I will find him and match him with him within a month."

Lu Yanhe hummed, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said, "You took advantage of me, Sister Ziyan."

Chen Ziyan was very happy, "Why should I poach your corner? You are my corner, why do I need to poach you?"

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Lu Yanhe found that he could never speak to Chen Ziyan.

never mind.

Chen Ziyan said: "I actually have another idea about Xu Fanxing."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise, "What do you think?"

Chen Ziyan said: "I think she is suitable to debut as an artist."

The expression on Lu Yanhe's face became even more surprised.

He didn't expect Chen Ziyan to think so.

Chen Ziyan said: "I see the potential to be an artist in her. Of course, what happens in the end depends on herself."

Lu Yanhe: "I thought you didn't plan to bring other artists since you brought the three of us."

Chen Ziyan said: "I was too lazy to take it with me, but I am ready to leave Xingyu."

"Leave...Xingyu?" Lu Yanhe looked at Chen Ziyan in surprise, "Really?"

"Yes." Chen Ziyan nodded, "Of course, I may also cooperate with Star Entertainment in another form. I haven't thought about it clearly yet, but one thing is for sure. I will definitely not continue to do it in the current state."

"The current situation...Sister Ziyan, are you dissatisfied with the position given to you by Star Entertainment?"

"Of course not. If I want to be a senior executive, do you think they won't give me this position?" Chen Ziyan said with a stern look in her eyes, "It's just that Star Entertainment's current development situation and future development direction deviate from my goals."

"Sister Ziyan, actually I have always wanted to ask you this question, what is your goal?" Lu Yanhe has never been able to understand one thing. Why did Chen Ziyan, after bringing out top actors like Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bige, Choose to part ways with them and no longer cooperate.

Chen Ziyan said: "My goal——"

After she said these four words, she smiled slightly.

"It's the sea of ​​stars."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

Saying this is the same as not saying it.

Chen Ziyan: "It makes no sense to tell you all this now, but I think you must be wondering why I didn't continue to cooperate with Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou, right?"

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"I've talked to you before, but I didn't talk in depth. Today I can actually tell you that in the simplest terms, my ambition is not to be a nanny or agent for a top actor." Chen Ziyan Said calmly, "When they reach the level of Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bige, their agents must be dedicated to taking care of their agency affairs. This is not in line with my positioning of myself. Therefore, after reaching a certain level, it is easy to get together." Very relaxing, very good.”

Lu Yanhe suddenly felt enlightened.

So that's it.

"As for me, I really like being an agent. I especially like to promote some talented people who deserve to be famous. However, my world is not limited to just a few people." Chen Ziyan said directly, "In the future, you will also grow up. Actors at the level of Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou, I will definitely break up with you. This is not a problem that can be solved by having a deep or shallow relationship. At that time, you need an agent who will focus 100% on you. Otherwise, your career will be in trouble, and I can’t focus 100% on you alone.”

When Lu Yanhe heard what Chen Ziyan said, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant and confused.

"But you don't have to worry about anything, Xiao Lu. Believe me, when the day comes, I will definitely have formed a reliable and completely trustworthy team for you." Chen Ziyan said, "We are still friends , just like my current relationship with Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou."

Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say for a moment.

He couldn't even accept it for the moment.

Man is always a creature that hopes for eternity and eternity.

Intellectually you know that eternity does not exist, let alone eternity, but you can theoretically get a hundred percent score in the test, and at the moment when it actually happens, even if it has not happened at all, you just clearly see what is going to happen. In a moment, you realize that a 100% theory, under the constraints of sensibility, is a fragile and vulnerable building, facing collapse at any time.

-

Chen Ziyan did not expect that she would say these words to Lu Yanhe so early.

Generally speaking, she would not vaccinate the artist until one or two years before the incident happened.

Why did the sudden change come to Xiaolu?

Chen Ziyan said it impulsively, not premeditated.

After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan realized that she was shocked by Lu Yanhe's rapid rise.

Moreover, Lu Yanhe's rise was very strong, but he did not have enough time to train his mind to take on the world he was facing at this time.

Even when he found an assistant for himself, he forgot to analyze the pros and cons she would bring.

Is it that Lu Yanhe does not have the ability to analyze? No, he was blinded by the identity of "Xu Zijun's sister" and forgot to analyze.

Chen Ziyan subconsciously wanted Lu Yanhe to grow up faster. Even if Lu Yanhe has grown up very fast, it is still not enough to keep up with the speed of his career growth.

Being soft-hearted will suffer, and being sentimental will eventually usher in the day when you will be used and stabbed. Chen Ziyan is a pessimist in this regard and does not think about it at all.

Before that, Chen Ziyan only hopes that Lu Yanhe can forge a harder shield, as well as a stronger mind and ability to bear.

-

March in the spring.

"Idol Era" is being broadcasted in full swing. Lu Yanhe recorded an episode of "City Travel Notes" and then prepared to start filming "Late Spring".

Everything is ready, waiting for the start of filming.

"Late Spring" is my first film directed." Before the start of filming, Liu Bige finally gathered several main actors together. What is different from usual is that the crew usually gathered everyone in the conference room before filming, but this time everyone sat together in the classroom.

It's like going back to the time of high school.

Liu Bige is still wearing a white shirt, trousers and black leather shoes, just like a white-collar worker who punches in to work every day.

In China, this kind of dress is generally considered to be work clothes.

However, Liu Bige wears it as a casual dress.

After watching it for a long time, Lu Yanhe got used to it-until today, Liu Bige stood on the podium dressed like this, and looked like a teacher again.

"The production cost of this film is very small, and it's not a big crew, but it will be a very good film. Except for Lu Yanhe, the rest of you are basically acting in a movie for the first time. I hope it can be a good start for your career. Of course, I also hope it can become a very good film in Yanhe's acting career." Liu Bige said, "This is my first time as an independent director, but I have been studying and familiar with the art of film for more than ten years. In the past ten years, I have been thinking about what kind of film I would make when I first became a director. When I had this opportunity, I have been looking for various projects. Finally, I saw "Late Spring" This novel. "

"There are already many classic movies about teenagers. Why do I want to make such a movie to tell a story that many people have told before?" Liu Bige said, "Many people ask me this question, especially since it is not a popular movie in the film market in recent years and has a good box office. There are many doubts. Indeed, I did not choose to make this movie for the box office of commercial movies. If I wanted to make a movie with good box office, I would definitely not choose this story."

Lu Yanhe sat in the audience and listened, a little curious about why Liu Bige said such a "morale-destroying" speech before the filming of the movie.

Generally speaking, don't directors try their best to make everyone believe that this will be a very successful movie?

He believes that Liu Bige must have his own reasons.

"Because among all the choices, it is the one that moved me the most." Liu Bige said frankly, "Because this is my first play, I have to shoot a story that I want to shoot the most. So, there is "Late Spring". I have talked to each of you and kept communicating with you almost every day. You are also the actors I picked one by one. From today on, I hope that everyone can abandon all distractions and concentrate on this film. It requires everyone's 100% concentration and dedication."

-

There are five main characters in "Late Spring".

Lu Yanhe plays the male protagonist Meng Bai in this movie.

Originally, in the original novel, the main perspective of this story was the girl named Yin Yue.

But Liu Bige and Miao Yueyi discussed, first, to let Lu Yanhe play the leading role, and second, to make the expression of this movie out of the personal perspective, so that it can be more three-dimensional and multi-perspective from the story level, and the movie has become a script promoted from multiple perspectives.

The actress who plays Yin Yue is Yan Lingyu, a freshman at Beijing University of the Arts. In order to get Yan Lingyu to star in this movie, Liu Bige had no idea how many rounds of communication with her class teacher. Later, it was only because Lu Yanhe was starring in this movie that her class teacher gave in.

Yan Lingyu's name is more literary, and she is more aloof. To be honest, the first time Lu Yanhe saw her, he felt that this actor was too accurate. Yin Yue in the story is such a cold girl, who is somewhat out of place in the cram school and cannot blend in with many people.

In addition to Yan Lingyu, there is another freshman from Beijing University of the Arts, Kong Fan.

He plays Yu Lang, a classmate that Lu Yanhe is close to in the play.

Kong Fan's image is more like Yan Liang, with a relatively strong body. Although he doesn't make people feel very strong, his wheat-colored skin and bright smile are full of the sense of power of the athletic department.

Compared to that, Lu Yanhe's image is the kind of "white moonlight school hunk" that is common in many film and television dramas. Handsome, excellent grades, and a "sunny warm smile" when he smiles. Fortunately, it's just the image. If this image runs through the film, Lu Yanhe really has no interest in acting.

He Qingqing is different from the two of them. She is not from a professional acting school.

In fact, Liu Bige found her in a talk show theater.

Liu Bige introduced Lu Yanhe, saying: "When I saw a small, 18-year-old girl on stage, I still thought it was incredible, but when she took the microphone and opened her mouth, I was shocked. The desire to express herself and her natural familiarity are too similar to Jiang Mo."

He Qingqing is not a professional talk show actor yet. She just failed to get into college in the college entrance examination. Seeing that the talk show industry was very popular, and she herself was a talkative person, she tried it. Less than a month after trying, she was only on stage for the third time when she was seduced by this man named Liu Bige to be an actor.

He Qingqing didn't believe it at first, thinking that she was cheated. She kept telling people: "Brother, my family has no money, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to see if I can do talk shows after failing to get into college. Don't bother me. It's a waste of time and energy. I really don't have money."

Liu Bige: "..."

In fact, when a director goes to find an actor, it is really easy to be mistaken for a liar.

Because filming is really too far away from the real life of ordinary people, it is difficult for anyone to really believe that a person who suddenly appears in front of them and says that he wants to find you to film is really a director.

The last starring role is Wang Jing. A very ordinary name. She comes from another acting school, but it is far less famous than Jingyi. It is a very ordinary acting school. Liu Bige found Wang Jing by pure coincidence. It was all because of a colleague in Longyan Film Company who recommended her. He said that he had seen such a girl and left a deep impression on her.

Liu Bige went to meet her and decided to cast her after the meeting.

She played Zuo Lanlan, the most extreme female character in the movie.

Before that, they had never met each other.

Liu Bige clearly asked them to start from the first scene when they didn't know each other.

-

Of course, script reading and rehearsal are still necessary.

Before the official shooting, Liu Bige took them to read the script together.

After reading it, Lu Yanhe was surprised to find that although the other people had not acted much, everyone's understanding of the script, the role and even each scene was quite correct, and they did not make any low-level mistakes that novices often make.

This is because Liu Bige actually communicated with the other actors about the script and the characters many times before the script reading.

The preparations for Late Spring before filming were quite solid. Of course, Lu Yanhe had not starred in other movies, so he didn't know what other movie crews were like. Maybe other movies were also prepared early. Before filming, the actors communicated frequently with the director and analyzed the characters clearly.

The play was filmed in Yuming.

Lu Yanhe did not ask the crew to arrange hotel accommodation for him. He came to work at a fixed time every day and went back to Ziyuan Bridge to sleep after work.

There were few classes, and the crew would definitely ask for leave when they had to go to class. Anyway, it was agreed before that it would not affect the filming of the crew.

Instead, Miao Yue came to the scene from time to time, curious to see what the filming scene looked like.

-

The crew of Late Spring was not big, with only about 30 people, which was about the same size as the crew of Three Mountains.

This was because the budget was small and it could not afford a large crew.

Because of this, everyone was almost used as two people, and there was a lot of work.

Because of this, the logistics conditions were not very good.

There were basically no snacks and drinks on the scene.

Seeing this, Lu Yanhe paid for the entire crew to drink coffee, milk tea, and buy snacks from time to time.

Anyway, there were not many people in the crew, so it was not as expensive as expected.

For Lu Yanhe, filming "Late Spring" was much more difficult than expected.

He himself did not expect it.

Logically, he had acted in several dramas, and his acting skills were highly recognized and praised. He originally thought that acting in a drama like "Late Spring" would be a natural thing. Unexpectedly, he encountered a huge problem just a few days after the start of filming.

He felt that his acting was good enough - he didn't know where he could change and adjust, but Liu Bige was always dissatisfied.

Liu Bige didn't say what details were wrong, but only said that Lu Yanhe gave a wrong feeling.

"It was a good performance, but it was not what I imagined." Liu Bige said.

This scene was a scene in which Meng Bai, played by Lu Yanhe, wrote furiously during evening self-study after accidentally encountering his father having an affair with someone else.

According to Lu Yanhe's design, Meng Bai's state in this scene is that he suppresses his anger on the surface, but he is actually furious inside and wants to rush to his father to question him.

However, Lu Yanhe performed three takes in a row, and Liu Bige said they were not good enough.

"The performance was very good, but the layers were too obvious, and the performance was a bit heavy." Liu Bige said.

Although this scene was Lu Yanhe's one-man show, the background was in the class.

The other actors and extras were all there.

Everyone had to accompany Lu Yanhe to act again and again.

Lu Yanhe was able to get into the state at the beginning of this scene, but later, when the number of NGs reached seven or eight times, Lu Yanhe couldn't help but get annoyed and couldn't calm down to act this scene.

After Liu Bige shouted Action again, he almost held his breath and started writing on the paper in a bit of anger, lowering his head expressionlessly, writing very fast, using his wrist and fingertips to force each word, and the tip of the pen even seemed to be about to tear the paper.

The psychological state of the character and Lu Yanhe's boredom and anger at this moment as an actor were intertwined.

He didn't control the strength for a moment, and the tip of the pen finally tore the paper under the pen with a "squeak" sound because of excessive force.

Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment, his eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he came to his senses.

Liu Bige finally said, "This one is ready, Yan He, this one is good, this is what I want."
