"Ma Zhiyuan's work has been canceled this week."

Li Zhibai opened a whiskey and ordered braised food takeout, and happily held a sharing meeting for three people at Ziyuan Bridge.

It was said to be a sharing meeting, but in fact, Li Zhibai alone told Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang all the information he had collected.

He had never been so active in inquiring about gossip. Everyone who received his call could hear his gloating from his eager and probing questions.

"Zhou Ping'an is putting out fires everywhere, but several endorsement brands have already terminated their contracts with Ma Zhiyuan." Li Zhibai laughed, "Several cooperations that were being discussed have also been canceled."

Yan Liang said: "Zhou Ping'an wants to give me several resources that were originally his."

Li Zhibai immediately said: "You must not accept it. This person is a real dog. If I give you Ma Zhiyuan's resources at this time, Ma Zhiyuan's crazy fans will chase you and scold you to the sky."

Yan Liang nodded, "I think so too. Taking over Ma Zhiyuan's resources at this time seems like I am taking the opportunity to rob them."

Lu Yanhe: "The main reason is that you don't lack these at all now. Why did you want to take over Ma Zhiyuan's job and lay such a trap for yourself? Zhou Ping'an really doesn't have a clear mind. He just wants to keep everything in his own bowl and is not afraid of messing around. , and spread the rice all over the floor."

Li Zhibai: "If he had a clean mind, he wouldn't be able to do so many bad things."

"But Ma Zhiyuan doesn't respond either?"

"How can I respond? What can I respond to?" Li Zhibai said, "If I were him, I wouldn't have the face to come out and see people at this time."

"But things have to be resolved, and it's impossible for him to never stand up and respond to this issue."

Yan Liang said: "I guess we have to wait for this storm to pass first. Zhou Pingan has not been seen at all in the past two days. He is probably just solving this matter. Before responding, he must also reach an agreement with Xu Qinyin and her company. Consistent, unified caliber.”

"I'm curious, after something like this happened, will Ma Zhiyuan's fans continue to like him?"

"There must be people who lose fans, but there must also be people who don't mind and continue to like him." Lu Yanhe said, "If you expect this incident to completely defeat him, then don't even think about it."

Li Zhibai sighed regretfully.

In this entertainment industry, the two people Li Zhibai hates the most are Ma Zhiyuan and Meng Li.

If one day the two of them retire from the entertainment industry, Li Zhibai will definitely open champagne to celebrate it.

Yan Liang asked: "Ma Zhiyuan and Xu Qinyin have not responded, so this matter may have slowly cooled down."

Li Zhibai said: "Then I really want to directly @马志元 on Weibo and let him take responsibility like a man."

Lu Yanhe: "Don't do this. This matter is not about Ma Zhiyuan alone. It also involves other people. The matter is too big and it will not be good for others."

Li Zhibai: "I know, otherwise I would have posted on Weibo on the first day I learned the news."

-

Just as Yan Liang said, Ma Zhiyuan and Xu Qinyin never responded to the matter or showed up, so the heat of the matter slowly passed away.

Speaking of which, this is not an unprecedented event. To the uninvolved, this is just a bit of a blast.

Liu Bige's new film actually vacated a heroine's seat because of this incident. This incident attracted more attention from agencies and actresses.

Liu Bige and Longyan Pictures held a small interview in private.

Li Zhibai is also there, mainly to let Li Zhibai play with them to see how CP feels.

Only five people received interview invitations, including Wang Jing recommended by Lu Yanhe.

The five of them all had a scene with Li Zhibai, and then chatted with everyone.

No results were produced on the spot.

After all the actors left, Mrs. Huang asked Liu Bige and Li Zhibai for their opinions.

Liu Bige didn't say anything first, but looked at Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai was also very direct, saying: "When I played the role myself, the one I felt the most about was Wang Jing. She was so crazy that when she got mad at me, I was shocked."

Everyone else laughed.

Mrs. Huang also smiled and said, "Wang Jing's play is pretty good."

Another person mentioned: "Actually Ji Miao is also very good. She even won the Phenom Award for Best Supporting Actress and her acting skills are also very good."

"Ji Miao is indeed good, but the sense of romance between her and Zhibai is not that strong." Someone said, "Although our show is mainly about comedy, the relationship between the two characters is still related to love, and there is no sense of romance. At the end of the movie, the audience will not be moved.”

Mrs. Huang asked: "Why is there no sense of CP? Can't it be adjusted in the later stage?"

Liu Bige said: "It is not impossible to create this feeling with some shooting angles and guidance, but it is definitely the sense of CP that can create sparks by itself that impresses the audience more. Ji Miao is actually a little proud, and with When Li Zhibai auditioned, it gave people the impression that she was more than capable of acting in this movie. She was too arrogant."

Li Zhibai said: "Of the five people I just auditioned for, the one I felt the worst about was Ji Miao, but she may have some confidence, after all, she has won the Phenom Award."

Among the five, Ji Miao is the only one who has won a mainstream award.

Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Our movie has you as the core character. If she has such an idea, she will be disappointed."

She asked Liu Bige: "You haven't expressed your opinion yet?"

"I think both Wang Jing and Sun Ruoyao are very good." Liu Bige said, "Wang Jing is that her overall feeling is very similar to the character in the script, her acting skills are explosive and very good in all aspects, and her acting is very good." Aura. The advantage of Sun Ruoyao is that she is very beautiful. She is stunningly beautiful but not aggressively beautiful. It is rare for an actress to have such a look. I imagined her playing this role with Zhi Bai. The picture will actually look better.”

"Sun Ruoyao has only acted in one play before, right? She played a role in an ancient puppet." Mrs. Huang looked at the information in front of her and pondered for a moment, "In comparison, Wang Jing is still more reassuring. I’ve also worked with you.”

"She is a reassuring actor." Liu Bige nodded, "It depends on how you choose."

Originally, Li Zhibai felt that Wang Jing gave him the best feeling in terms of his own feelings.

But after hearing what Liu Bige said, he thought about the effect of appearing on the screen with Sun Ruoyao. It was indeed more cinematic than standing with Wang Jing.

It doesn't mean that Wang Jing is not beautiful enough and is worse than Sun Ruoyao. But this role, this subject, if played by Sun Ruoyao, will form a stronger contrast in image and personality, similar to the contrast between a goddess and a female nerve. This will be easier to produce effects, and it will also make the audience unexpected and surprising. laugh.

Mrs. Wong said: "We actually know the strengths and weaknesses of the two actresses very well."

When she said this, the others stopped talking.

Mrs. Wong said: "How about we do a test shoot? We'll see which one is better and we'll use it."

"That's fine." Liu Bige nodded.

-

After Li Zhibai came back, he told Lu Yanhe about the audition.

"Sun Ruoyao?" Lu Yanhe didn't expect that Sun Ruoyao would appear halfway. He didn't even know this actress.

Lu Yanhe checked Sun Ruoyao's information on the Internet, especially some clips of her previous acting roles.

As they said, Sun Ruoyao is indeed a bright and majestic person in appearance. Although because she is very young, she does not have the feeling of a "big woman" yet, but her eyebrows are a bit like the Hong Kong ones in Lu Yanhe's impression. The charm of a film actress.

Li Zhibai said: "Compared with her, Wang Jing's image is indeed a bit worse, and the contrast effect is not that big."

Li Zhibai is also a person who doesn't understand much about acting. He was supposed to graduate this year, but because he missed too many classes and didn't earn enough credits, he had to postpone his graduation.

Li Zhibai really didn't understand much about the theoretical knowledge in school.

But he has a talent for acting. Li Zhibai also has his own opinions on what is a good performance. This is what distinguishes a good actor from an ordinary actor, and there is a difference in aesthetics. Li Zhibai himself has not acted much, and the time has not been long, but he has been able to clearly distinguish the difference between Wang Jing and Sun Ruoyao, as well as their advantages and disadvantages for a movie and a role.

In fact, many actors do not have this ability to distinguish at all - which actually means that they do not have the ability to distinguish what is a good script and what is a good team.

"A test shoot is actually a safer approach." Lu Yanhe also agreed with this point, "This way we can see most intuitively who is more suitable."

Li Zhibai said: "I heard from Liu Bige that Wang Jing was recommended by you."

"I recommended it, because when I listened to her talk, I felt that Wang Jing was actually very suitable. But if there is a more suitable candidate, of course I will find a more suitable person to play the role." Lu Yanhe said, "Everything is to make this The movie is better."

"I think Mrs. Huang's intention is that she doesn't want to use Wang Jing. Although she has never expressed it in this way, she also hides her meaning very deeply."

"Maybe. When she was filming "Late Spring" with Liu Bige, Longyan Pictures must have wanted to sign Wang Jing, but Wang Jing finally signed her contract to Northern Lights Video. Mrs. Huang probably Because I have some objections to Wang Jing about this matter. It doesn’t matter. Once Wang Jing becomes popular, Mrs. Huang will probably forget about it.”

Li Zhibai: "No wonder."

"Why didn't Wang Jing sign to Longyan Pictures at that time?"

"It must be that the conditions given by Northern Lights Video are better." Lu Yanhe said, "She played a very important role in "Squid Game". This was not arranged by me. It was Northern Lights Video that gave her the role. If Wang Jing signed a contract with Longyan Pictures, and Longyan may not be able to provide her with good resources. "

Li Zhibai nodded.

Yan Liang said: "I remember you said before that there is another movie you want to star in with Wang Jing, right?"

Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "Yes, I wrote a script for Sister Yuqian called "Telephone". It is a story about two time and space, two heroines connected through a phone. I think the role of the young girl should be played by Wang Jing. is the most suitable.”

Yan Liang nodded.

Li Zhibai said: "Didn't I say before that your work is under great pressure? Why do you still have so many projects to advance?"

"That was a script that was written before, and I don't care about it now." Lu Yanhe said, "I will not be deeply involved in this movie anymore. I will name the two heroines as the producer and screenwriter." "Next, Sister Ziyan will negotiate with various film companies to see which one is willing to do it."

Li Zhibai: "That's pretty much it."

"How are the preparations for your drama version of "Nineteen Years of Crime" going?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Li Zhibai said: "I found Bingyuan Video to develop with me. The first draft of the script is out. I just got the first funding from Bingyuan Video and set up a team. However, the official shooting will definitely be at the end of the year or next year. I have to shoot Liu Bigo's movie first."

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded, "The movie version of this story is terrible. You should learn from their lessons."

"Don't worry, I won't find a drama tyrant to play this play with me." Li Zhibai said.

Yan Liang pursed his lips and said: "You two are now starting to be producers. It really puts me under a lot of pressure. It's too aggressive."

Lu Yanhe said: "We all started by chance. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, you can do it too."

Lu Yanhe actually hopes that everyone can participate in this industry more deeply, not just as an actor.

If they are just actors, it is indeed too passive. But if they have the ability to run a project by themselves, then when there is no suitable project coming, they can do the project themselves, the project they really want to do, instead of waiting passively.

Li Zhibai's phone suddenly rang.

He received a call and came back to say: "A play I played before suddenly dropped out of nowhere. It will be broadcast tonight. I was asked to forward the trailer to promote it."

"What play?"

"Washing House." Li Zhibai said.

At this time, Lu Yanhe's phone also rang.

It was Su Xiao who sent a message in the group chat of "Young Days", saying that the play "Washing House" starring her would be broadcast tonight, and asked everyone to help forward her Weibo and help promote it.

This play is starred by Li Zhibai and Su Xiao, and it is broadcast on Bingyuan Video.

Lu Yanhe: "This play was filmed at the end of the year before last, right? It was delayed for so long before it was broadcast."

Li Zhibai said: "It is said that the post-production took a long time because it is a fantasy love story."

"Then the investment should be not small? Why did it suddenly drop out of nowhere?"

"We don't know why, we don't know." Li Zhibai said, "It was scheduled several times before, but it was suddenly cancelled."

Li Zhibai did not broadcast a play for a long time.

The last play was "Bai Yu Yao" broadcasted last spring, a hit fairy tale drama.

A year has passed, and Li Zhibai finally has a new drama to air.

Lu Yanhe forwarded the release date announcement from the show's production team and the trailer.

The drama "Washe" was filmed with a total of 20 episodes, but now only 18 episodes are left.

Because of Li Zhibai, a popular star, the news has attracted a lot of attention once it was released.

Su Xiao has gradually gained popularity and a group of loyal fans in recent years because of the variety show "Young Days".

Bingyuan Video put "Washe" on the shelves as the main drama in June.

However, after the first episode of "Washe" was updated, it was ridiculed by Li Zhibai's black fans because of zero advertising patches, and it became a hot search.

"This drama was airdropped, and it is normal that there are no advertising patches. It is unreasonable for them to use this to laugh at you." Lu Yanhe said.

The three of them watched the premiere with Li Zhibai in the house.

After seeing the hot search on the Internet, Lu Yanhe complained for Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai said: "Don't pay attention to these words that are just for the sake of blackening."

In fact, the phenomenon in the fan circle is really strange now.

Everything is compared, even the number of advertisements in a starring drama is compared.

Comparing the artist's ability to attract investment... The more advertisements, the more popular the drama is, and the more favored it is by advertisers.

And the first episode advertisement rate is actually to see the recognition of the protagonist by advertisers.

"Washe" is a drama that Li Zhibai carried alone-he is the only big star in this drama.

The fact that there are no advertisements naturally attracted the ridicule of black fans.

Ignoring these disturbing voices and watching the first episode carefully, Lu Yanhe said: "This drama is quite romantic, much better than I expected."

In this drama, Li Zhibai finally did not play an exaggerated character who was bluffing or a little crazy, but played a bookstore owner with a mysterious past-he could take others to the world of dreams, but he was also facing attacks from unknown creatures at any time.

Su Xiao plays an ordinary girl who is accidentally attacked by an unknown creature. She accidentally follows the character played by Li Zhibai into other people's dreams, helping each person solve their fear, worry and pain in their dreams, while also resisting the attacks of unknown creatures together.

In the first episode, there are not many special effects, only a few shots of unknown creatures appearing, and Li Zhibai's special effects in several shots of using superpowers in other people's dreams.

The effect is also amazing, not the kind of 50-cent special effects.

After the first episode was broadcast, the discussion of "Washe" on the Internet was set off.

It was mainly promoted by Li Zhibai's fans. At the same time, Bingyuan Video also bought several hot searches to attract more people to watch this drama.

Li Zhibai himself finished watching it and was satisfied.

In fact, since his debut, the dramas he played basically have a large proportion of love scenes.

This is also related to his positioning in the market.

Female audiences just want to watch his love dramas and put themselves in their shoes.

Including the "Moonlight Symphony" he just finished filming and the movie Liu Bige is about to shoot next, both have such themes.

However, although the dramas that Li Zhibai plays have a large proportion of love, the themes are different. From fairy tales to urban fantasy and then to comedy, Li Zhibai still challenges different character types and themes as much as possible within his own safety zone.

Such attempts will not make the audience quickly aesthetically fatigued with him.

Just like the mysterious male shopkeeper he played in "Washe" this time, he is usually a taciturn, tactful, and young man who does not match his age in reality, but in dreams, he is brave and resolute as if he has become a different person. This contrast of roles not only brings great freshness to his fans, but also makes the media highly evaluate him.

Many people think that the media's evaluation of artists is basically paid to do things.

In fact, many media are just normal audiences besides being paid to do things. Their attitude towards celebrity artists is also related to the performance of the artists themselves and the touch brought to them by the works.

Why is Chen Ziliang scolded?

Because he did not act well, not only did he not act well, but also made everyone unable to see his sincerity in acting.

Is Li Zhibai really that good? Talented? Of course not. But he plays roles that he can control and are in his comfort zone. Moreover, he seeks something different in every play, and does not repeat himself all the time, which brings a lot of freshness.

This is the most basic thing for an actor. Compared with his peers, his attitude is particularly dedicated.

-

"Washe" became a dark horse that emerged in June. It is rare for the drama market to have a drama that is highly discussed and has a relatively popular number of viewers.

But this drama is still facing the characteristics of mainly female audiences, just like the dramas that Li Zhibai starred in before. This is a good thing, but it limits Li Zhibai from further broadening his acting career and letting him go further on his own acting career.

Of course, no matter what, at least Li Zhibai has produced another hit drama.

After zero patch ads in the first episode, six patch ads were directly dropped in the second episode, four at the beginning and two in the middle of the film, breaking the previous attacks of the haters.

In addition to the popularity of "Washer" in the drama market, in the film market, the youth love topic "You Ten Years Ago and Me Ten Years Later" starring Ji Miao only received 21 million yuan in the first weekend despite the high popularity in the early stage, which is far from the industry's estimate. It plummeted on the working days of the second week, with a daily box office of more than 2 million. It is expected that the final box office will be difficult to exceed 50 million, which is very regrettable.

On the contrary, the action comedy "33 Days" starring Cheng Shiyan performed steadily, and won 540 million in the box office in one week. It is estimated that the final box office will still exceed 1 billion. This also makes the industry more confident in his "The Beetle Project 2" to be released during the Spring Festival next year. Cheng Shiyan's box office appeal remains unabated.

In addition to these two Chinese-language films, other Chinese-language films have almost no volume in June. The box office performance is mostly mediocre, and there are no dark horses. On the contrary, an American cartoon "Wendy the Stray Dog" has a box office of 600 million in China without any publicity, which is eye-catching.

The performance of these films also affects the films to be released later.

The film "Lost on Journey" starring Jia Long and written by Lu Yanhe is scheduled to be released on Thursday, July 12.

The film "Flowers on the Stars" written by Yu Jiang and starring Lang Xia is scheduled to be released on August 14, the Chinese Valentine's Day.

"Rouge" directed by Wang Zhong, starring Chen Bige and Huang Kairen, and written by Lu Yanhe is scheduled to be released in September during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In addition, several heavyweight films have been scheduled one after another.

The summer season is the most important period for box office in China except for the Spring Festival, and it lasts the longest in China.

The crew of Lu Yanhe's "Love Letter" began to set up camp in Jiangzhi in earnest during this summer season that is about to begin.

Lu Yanhe went there after taking his last exam.

Summer is here.

When Lu Yanhe got off the plane, he felt a wave of heat coming towards him.

There was a bridge in the middle, but the heat was still rolling between the air conditioner and the airport and the cabin.

Luo Yuzhong had already sorted out the crew's shooting plan from beginning to end with Zhao Yuheng, and reviewed the work plans of each department, just to ensure that the basic framework of the film shooting preparations had been set up when Lu Yanhe came.

The crew must have a veteran director like Luo Yuzhong in charge, so that the crew members dare not fool around.

Otherwise, others may not be willing to fool around when they see Lu Yanhe as a new director.

At this time, Jiangzhi has entered the best time of the year.

The sun was shining, and the whole city was shrouded in golden sunshine or green shade, just like the small town summer commonly seen in cartoons, in the hot summer, holding a popsicle, lying on a mat with a fan or air conditioner on, and enjoying the coolness slowly.

The news that "Love Letter" came to Jiangzhi for filming has been known to many people.

After all, during the days when Lu Yanhe was not here, several groups of people from the Love Letter crew had come to scout the location and build the scenery. It was a lot of noise, and it was impossible not to be known.

There were not many scenes to be filmed in the summer.

It was just right for Lu Yanhe to get familiar with the situation.

The scenes in the summer were basically the scenes of the young age, and Chen Bige didn't need to appear.

However, Lu Yanhe didn't expect that Chen Bige would still come.

She said that she didn't accept any other roles anyway, and she didn't have any other work for the time being, so she could come over and have a look. By the way, she also came to see who the girl who played her in high school was.

"Also, you have officially announced that the heroine of this movie is me. If I don't appear in Jiangzhi, aren't you afraid that the media reporters will make some bad guesses?" Chen Bige said with a smile, "If that's the case If so, then your mysterious heroine may have to be exposed."

Lu Yanhe didn't expect that Chen Bige would think so much.

Many people gathered in Jiangzhi because of this drama.

Many fans also came here just to catch a glimpse of their favorite celebrities.

The crew of "Love Letter" directly booked two inns in Jiangzhi for the crew to stay.

This package costs a lot, but it is more convenient for the crew to manage, and it can also prevent others from disturbing the crew's rest.

-

Zhang Ruozhi hasn't had a holiday yet.

Lu Yanhe and the others didn't rush him either.

They planned to shoot other scenes first, including some empty scenes.

Because it was Lu Yanhe's first time as a director, he really didn't know what to do. I have never observed too carefully before what kind of things a director wants to do in a play.

Talking to actors is definitely only a small part.

Fortunately, they set aside enough time to sit down with people from various departments for meetings to discuss shooting plans, storyboards, and test shots.

The test footage was all auditioned by Lu Yanhe himself.

Among them, the most critical scenes for this movie almost all take place in the library.

This drama was filmed at Jiangzhi High School where Zhang Ruozhi studied.

He Yunlan coordinated and students from his own school participated in the performance, so the school readily agreed.

Fortunately, high school libraries are generally not used very much——

Especially in this era, few students go to the library anymore.

He found a very suitable room on the second floor of the library to shoot the scene in "Love Letter" in which the two of them were in the library.

Lu Yanhe stood in front of the window and asked the photographer to take a test shot of him.

Liu Bige is also here.

After the photographer took a picture, before Lu Yanhe looked at it, Liu Bige said no.

"Your shots are too idol drama." Liu Bige took over the camera and took the shots himself.

Because it was just a test shoot, there was no track for the camera to move on, nor any lighting design.

But Liu Bige directly constructed a movement in a short period of time.

Take a picture of the figure revealed in the gap from behind the bookshelf, simulating a person's perspective, moving slightly, testing, and even hiding a bit of cautious shyness, and then slowly pushing the camera out.

Liu Bige carried the camera on his shoulders.

He slowly walked out from behind the bookshelf and walked to the front of Lu Yanhe, facing the sunlight streaming in from the window.

Lu Yanhe's figure was covered with a layer of light.

"The lens must not be too straightforward, it must have its own language." Liu Bige said to the photographer, "Especially for the movie "Love Letter", you have to think about what kind of story this is, this scene What is being filmed? It’s not just the director and actors who need to read the script. Even those who do technical work also need to think about the script and understand how a scene is going to be shot. The skills in your hands can also speak for themselves. Do the work.”

The photographer is a very young man named Wu Zhou. He was a member of the photography team when Liu Bige was filming "Late Spring". This time, Wu Zhou was also one of the photography team brought here personally by Liu Bige.

Lu Yanhe watched the replay with them.

There was no post-production and no light modification. The section shot by Liu Bige lasted only about twenty seconds. However, as he said, without any lines or narration, he was able to shoot from such a camera perspective. Change, showing the emotion that this shot is going to show.

The emotion of secret love, careful and secret observation.

Liu Bige said to Lu Yanhe again: "My judgment should be correct, right? Do you want such a shooting effect?"

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Yes, I really wanted to shoot this scene like this. From my perspective and her perspective, the two people's perspective would be to shoot each other's perspective, forming a camera relationship where they secretly look at each other."

-

At noon, Lu Yanhe went to the school cafeteria to eat with everyone.

The principal asked the staff cafeteria to cook a meal for them to express his welcome to them.

"Oh, you are especially welcome to come to our place to film." The principal's eyes shone when he saw Lu Yanhe, "I really hope that among the senior students in our school this year, there will be children who can become your juniors."

Lu Yanhe: "There will definitely be."

he said to the principal.

Principal: "Well, our school's teachers are not as strong as other places, and the children are also in trouble. I hope you can bring us some good luck by coming to our place to shoot this movie."

Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.

After lunch, Lu Yanhe wanted to use the restroom, but the restrooms were full, so he had to go to find other restrooms nearby.

At the corner of the corridor, two men were standing there smoking, not noticing Lu Yanhe coming from behind.

"Lu Yanhe will be the director and shoot a movie, Liu Bige will be his photographer, Luo Yuzhong will help him with department management, and Chen Bige will be the lead actor for him. Haha, there is no one left."

"What's wrong?"

"I just think that this world is really unfair sometimes."

"Unfair?"

"Everyone's starting point is different. We want to be directors, so we start from the stagehands. We work hard for more than ten years and don't see any opportunities. But stars like Lu Yanhe want to be directors, and everyone is helping him. I know he is very powerful and a genius. He can succeed in everything he does, but I can't help but envy him."

"You'd better adjust your mentality quickly. If you hold on to this idea, you will only feel more and more uncomfortable."

"I'm just complaining to you. I tried to write a script before and asked a producer to help me read it. Do you know how long he watched it? He watched it "He talked for five minutes, and then told me that the script was terrible, as bad as shit, and said that I had no talent for storytelling. I really wanted to smear shit on his face. "

"You can take the script to some venture capital fund projects of the Youth Film Festival, since you have a script."

"Haha, do you really believe that those were selected through auditions? They are all related people with complicated relationships behind them. For someone like me who has no background, people will not even open the script to take a look when they see my name."

"You are too pessimistic."

"Don't you believe it? Haha, you are so naive."

...

Lu Yanhe felt a little reluctant when he heard this. It is an indisputable fact that "there are few opportunities" for those who want to start from scratch. At the same time, he was also a little annoyed, annoyed by this kind of jealous mentality.

He didn't take it too seriously that people were talking about him behind his back, but this kind of talk, which made the outside world full of people with connections and ordinary people have no chance to make a breakthrough, made Lu Yanhe want to stand up and ask, is it because you have no background that others don't choose your script, or is your script itself not well written?

Lu Yanhe has been in the entertainment industry for so long, of course he knows that many people are really talented but not appreciated, but whether it is the venture capital fund of the Youth Film Festival or some other platforms or projects, they are still supporting him by discovering a person's talent.

Every year, there are still young directors emerging. There are so many people in the entertainment industry who have resources and abilities. They never choose projects based on who has a bigger background, but on the script, the script itself.

He is like this, Chen Bige is like this, and Shang Yongzhou is like this.

The better people do themselves, the more they will abandon all interference and only look at what they really need to see.

He doesn't believe that the venture capital fund of the Youth Film Festival is selected by people with connections.

Lu Yanhe also received a request from this project to be a judge. However, he declined because he was very busy. However, many actors and directors in the circle have received invitations to be judges. They are seriously reading and selecting scripts. When they see a good script, they will even be moved and use all their strength to support the director to make this script into a movie.

-

But Lu Yanhe did not stand up to refute him.

He just walked away silently.

Before walking away, he glanced at the two people who were talking, both of whom were from the photography team.

The one who was jealous was the older Bao Wenliang, and the younger one was Wu Zhou.

The reason why Lu Yanhe did not stand up to refute was, first, because it was unnecessary, and second, because, in front of the jealous people, whatever he said was "easy to talk", "you are successful, of course everything you say makes sense".

-

When Lu Yanhe was an actor before, he rarely needed to deal with every staff member in each department.

Communication with the photography team is often to communicate with the director of photography on how a shot will be moved, so that he can find the right shot when performing. Of course, if you meet Liu Bige, you don't need to find the lens. Liu Bige doesn't even want you to know where the lens is. He likes to capture the actor's closest to real and natural state.

Now Lu Yanhe needs to communicate deeply with people in various departments, because each department has to listen to him on how to do it and to what extent.

The advantage of Lu Yanhe's "Love Letter" is that he has a very clear original film in his mind, so he can give very clear instructions.

At the same time, he also specially found someone who can draw storyboards to help him draw the shooting storyboards of this script.

If a movie has a complete storyboard before shooting, it is a particularly good thing for any department. Each department will know very clearly what kind of shot they want to shoot and what they need to do.

And now this test shooting is actually the stage for them to run in.

Liu Bige has actually explained the requirements of photography to the photography team very clearly, and the follow-up is a question of how to execute it. Liu Bige said that if he had time, he would personally supervise the several important scenes in the script. If he didn't have time, he would hand it over to the two photographers in the photography group, both of whom had no problem with their skills.

Lu Yanhe agreed.

For a movie, photographers are too important.

Generally speaking, the photography team is completed by big names in the industry with their own teams.

Bao Wenliang and Wu Zhou were both photography teams that Liu Bige had formed when filming "Late Spring". They had worked together on a play and were relatively familiar with each other.

It was just that Lu Yanhe felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Bao Wenliang say those words at noon, but he couldn't express it.

However, it was impossible for Liu Bige to stay in the "Love Letter" crew to help Lu Yanhe personally shoot.

He has his own movie to prepare in the second half of the year.

He is very loyal to serve as the director of photography and lend Bao Wenliang and Wu Zhou to him.

Lu Yanhe and the crew had three days of trial shooting together. He gradually became familiar with how to be a director and became more and more familiar with the people in various departments.

And while the school has not yet closed for the holiday, the film will start shooting some shots.

For example, the shots of students going to school.

In high school, there were many shots of students going to and from school, and the pictures were very beautiful.

Lu Yanhe and the photography team stayed outside Jiangzhi Middle School for several days and took satisfactory shots. If you think it may be used in the movie, you have to find the people who appear in the shot and ask them to agree to appear in the shot.

If they do not agree to appear in the shot, the shot cannot be used.

The college entrance examination has ended. Currently, there are only students in the first and second grades of high school in Jiangzhi Middle School.

Lu Yanhe would stay near the school with his photography team every day between school hours to shoot some scenes, which made the students very excited. Many students would look at the camera curiously, while some would turn their heads away and avoid the camera shyly.

After the final exams for the first and second year of high school were over, the official shooting began. (End of this chapter)
