Choose a day to become famous

Zhang Ruozhi has never acted or had any filming experience.

However, Lu Yanhe chose her without any hesitation.

After school enters the summer vacation, the crew will be able to manage more easily. When I was shooting some outdoor scenes and empty shots, there were many people watching and looking at them curiously. Now, the school's security guards have also been arranged to help the crew clear some areas in front of the school so that the crew can film without being disturbed by the surroundings.

The first scene Lu Yanhe and Zhang Ruozhi planned to shoot was of two people riding bicycles after school on a small road.

This scene is a scene in the movie where the female character, Aijiki, recalls her high school days with the male character, Aijiki, in a reminiscing tone.

"I didn't expect that we were in the same class for three whole years. During those three gloomy years, I was treated unreasonably and differently... It may sound funny to others, but to the people who were in it, It was difficult to say that we gradually had to avoid each other. I can’t even remember whether we talked.”

The first problem arose just like that. Zhang Ruozhi didn't know how to ride a bicycle.

Lu Yanhe had never thought about this problem before.

Zhang Ruozhi's cheeks were slightly red and he immediately apologized.

Lu Yanhe smiled and shook his hand and said, "It's okay. Let's learn from it. We'll shoot the bicycle riding scene later."

Zhang Ruozhi pursed his lips and nodded.

Her classmate Liu Lingmeng stayed with Zhang Ruozhi on the set as her "assistant".

Hearing this, Liu Lingmeng immediately said: "I will teach Ruoruo how to ride a bicycle. Don't worry, she will learn it in three days."

Lu Yanhe smiled, "There's no rush."

As a result, the shooting of the first shot had to be postponed before the shooting started.

At this time, Bao Wenliang from the photography team suddenly complained in a low voice: "Couldn't we have told him earlier that he didn't know how to ride a bicycle? He said it after the machine was set up. Isn't this tormenting people?"

They all heard Bao Wenliang's voice.

Zhang Ruozhi's cheeks suddenly turned red, and he immediately bowed to Bao Wenliang and said, "I'm sorry."

Liu Lingmeng responded to the injustice and said: "Then you didn't ask Ruoruo in advance if she knew how to ride a bicycle. We didn't know that Ruoruo would ride on her own."

Bao Wenliang laughed and said, "If no one is riding the bicycle, will the two wheels turn by themselves?"

Liu Lingmeng: "..."

Lu Yanhe didn't want to see them bickering at this time.

"I didn't tell Ruozhi in advance that she needed to ride the bicycle in person, which caused inconvenience to everyone. I apologize to everyone."

Lu Yanhe glanced at Bao Wenliang indifferently and said to everyone on the crew: "This is not a big deal. Once Ruozhi learns to ride a bicycle, we can shoot this scene again."

Lu Yanhe's calmness and calmness, as well as his generous apology, made the scene fall into silence for a while.

He turned to look at Zhao Yuheng.

"Yuheng, let's change the scene and film the scene between me and Ruozhi in the classroom, the one on duty."

Zhao Yuheng nodded.

-

"Brother Wenliang, why did you complain like that at that time?" Wu Zhou asked.

Bao Wenliang said: "Why can't we complain? One of them has never been a director, and the other has never acted. They don't know anything. They come to film when their brains are hot. How much trouble has it added to us?"

Wu Zhou said: "But Lu Yanhe is the director, although he is indeed very young. Is it really okay for you to deny him face and complain about the heroine in front of him?"

Bao Wenliang shrugged his shoulders and said: "It doesn't matter. Zhang Ruozhi is not a heroine. There is only one heroine in this movie, and that is Chen Bige. Why are you cowardly? He and Liu Bige borrowed this movie for us." There are only two photographers, how can he accuse us of this?"

Wu Zhou wondered whether Bao Wenliang's idea was a bit too arrogant. However, Bao Wenliang was his senior, and it was impossible for him to accuse Bao Wenliang. He could only hide these thoughts silently in his heart and not say anything.

Bao Wenliang said: "I'm telling you, Wu Zhou, you can't make a lot of money doing technical work like ours, but you don't have to be afraid of offending people. As long as you have real skills, you can make a living wherever you go. "

Wu Zhou nodded.

At this time, Luo Yuzhong walked over from the front.

Bao Wenliang's expression immediately changed, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he called Director Luo.

Luo Yuzhong glanced at him, nodded, and went to find Lu Yanhe.

-

Luo Yuzhong said: "I have to go back to Yuming first. There is something in my company that I need to check out. I've pretty much taken care of it for you for the time being. It's not a big problem. As a director, I'm not afraid of you making requests to others. I'm afraid that you keep your ideas in your mind and rely on everyone to guess your thoughts. Therefore, if there is anything, you must communicate with various departments in time. You don't have to worry about the difficulty of implementation. The director's job is the brain, and other technical departments. , they are your hands and feet. They are here to help you realize those ideas. Do you understand? Dare to mention it, don’t dare to think about it, but you have this possibility.”

Luo Yuzhong's reminder hit the nail on the head regarding Lu Yanhe's issue.

Lu Yanhe smiled and thanked him, and said to Luo Yuzhong: "Thank you, teacher. Without your help, I don't know when the crew will be able to smooth things over."

"You have already called me teacher. Isn't it normal for me to do this for you?" Luo Yuzhong said, "I have a movie ready to be produced later. If you are interested, you can participate in it."

Luo Yuzhong truly regarded Lu Yanhe as one of his own.

The gameplay of the series is really different from that of the movie.

The drama series is basically a lump sum system - the platform buys the goods, pays the money in one hand, and delivers the goods in the other hand. As for the subsequent broadcast, whether the income is high or low, that is all borne by the platform itself.

For a director of Luo Yuzhong's level, basically every project of his is guaranteed to be profitable regardless of drought or flood, and he is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money.

He took the initiative to make Lu Yanhe interested and invest a little bit. In fact, he was taking him to make money together. Making money is secondary. Being able to enter the capital camp of his project and get to know more people is the most critical and important resource for Lu Yanhe's follow-up.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said yes: "You see how much share you can give me, just tell me the number, I can do it."

Luo Yuzhong invested in the filming of "Love Letter" this time, although it was not much, only 800,000. But you must know that movie investment and drama investment are completely two different concepts. The former is a high-risk project, but the latter is different. And his willingness to invest was actually his most powerful support for Lu Yanhe.

Luo Yuzhong: "It will take about a week for me to come back and have a look. If you encounter any problems or small problems, please contact Zhao Yuheng. He is very capable and experienced and can handle it. If there is a big problem, I would rather delay for a few days and lose some money." When you go in, don't rush to solve it, lest it looks like you've patched the hole, but actually created a bigger hole. Call me and ask others for advice. You are different from other new directors. Your biggest problem is. Capital is that you have many people who can help you, don’t waste this advantage.”

Lu Yanhe nodded, hummed, and smiled at him.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Oh, that's right." After Luo Yuzhong explained this, he remembered something, "Did a photographer choke on you just now?"

Lu Yanhe: "You didn't choke me, but you were not very polite."

Luo Yuzhong: "If he only does this once or twice and then calms down, then don't talk about him. If he gets worse, you have to deal with it. Don't forget, he is Liu Bige's loanee. No matter what, don't affect your relationship with him. There is something really wrong with Liu Bige. If you contact Liu Bige and let him handle it, it will save his face and establish your authority. This crew is just a small world. Don't listen to what the media says about art and aesthetics. Or whatever, just treat this like a small sect that has just been established. No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, everyone below you may have their own ideas and may not be convinced by you. You must establish your authority and let them no matter what they think in their hearts, but their words and deeds must be obeyed. you."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said hello.

These are Luo Yuzhong’s many years of experience in directing, and every word is precious.

"You have thought very clearly about this movie. This is a good thing. It reassures me that it can be made well." Luo Yuzhong patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder, "I know how you want to present the movie, so all you have to do next is to Just shoot it.”

-

Transition scene, filming the scene in the classroom.

This scene takes place after school. Only two men and women, Aijiki, are left in the classroom. As students on duty, they stay on duty.

There are only a few lines about this scene in Lu Yanhe's script.

However, because it was a temporary change of shooting plan, the classroom layout had not yet been completed, so they took a break first.

Lu Yanhe called Zhang Ruozhi to the corridor.

"Don't worry about riding a bicycle." Lu Yanhe said, "It's not a big deal."

Zhang Ruozhi nodded slightly and hummed.

Lu Yanhe laughed and asked, "Do you have anyone you like?"

"Huh?!" Zhang Ruozhi suddenly opened his eyes like a deer and looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise, as if he didn't understand why Lu Yanhe suddenly asked this.

Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "If you have it, you can put in that mood and state of mind when performing."

Zhang Ruozhi pursed his lips gently.

In the corridor, the breeze is gentle.

The sun shines down, covering the campus with a golden film.

Zhang Ruozhi's youthful expression fell in Lu Yanhe's eyes, which made Lu Yanhe feel relieved.

She doesn't need to act, she is the Aijiki in the script.

-

When the shooting actually started, it was already three hours later.

Wu Zhou and Bao Wenliang were each responsible for one of the two camera seats used in the afternoon.

One filmed Lu Yanhe and the other photographed Zhang Ruozhi.

I'm very lucky. At this moment, when the light is most saturated, the shots are very beautiful. In an environment like a classroom, the youthful atmosphere almost overflows.

Lu Yanhe sat in the window seat, lowered his head to read and organize his notes.

The person he was competing against was actually Li Pengfei, his high school classmate.

Although it was not stated clearly in the script, Lu Yanhe felt that Huai Jingshu was not a student with very good grades. Many lines and details in the original movie also reflect this. Therefore, Lu Yanhe could not have such a sense of confidence and assurance of victory on his face.

But underneath the seemingly expressionless and silent exterior, there is a bit of deep-hidden bluntness of an adolescent high school student, and a little bit is enough.

This look was achieved after Lu Yanhe had many video calls with Chen Siqi and tried many different methods.

He specially went to get a haircut of a student, which made him look less handsome. Huaishu's good looks are ordinary, student good looks, because the depression of adolescence gives him a little more charm. If his image was fashionable, handsome and handsome, the atmosphere of the story would not be "everyday" or "ordinary student".

Then, Lu Yanhe also refused to wear makeup. Originally, the makeup artist asked if he wanted to at least apply foundation, but Lu Yanhe said, "Not at all."

"It all depends on lighting. Neither I nor Ruozhi put on any makeup at all. We use natural light and lighting to adjust the condition of our faces." Lu Yanhe said, "I even hope that our faces can be seen clearly in the camera. Clear texture.”

Regarding this point, Lu Yanhe also worked with several departments several times during the trial shooting before he found an ideal picture situation for Lu Yanhe.

So, as soon as the filming started, Lu Yanhe got into the mood.

Zhang Ruozhi stood on the right side of the podium and erased the two names "Huai Jing Shu" written in the column of the students on duty. Then, he looked back at Lu Yanhe and asked in a low voice: "Huai Jing Shu, who is the student on duty tomorrow. "

Lu Yanhe raised his eyes slightly, glanced at her, and said two names.

Zhang Ruozhi hummed, took the chalk and wrote his name on it.

"What was taught in math class today?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Zhang Ruozhi said: "Equation."

Lu Yanhe asked: "What equation?"

At this time, other students would suddenly appear at the door of the classroom and tease the two of them.

However, because this scene was temporarily adjusted and filmed, these student actors have not arrived yet.

These student actors were looking for the boys who suddenly ran in when Lu Yanhe, Zhang Ruozhi and Liu Lingmeng were eating in a cafe that day.

Lu Yanhe felt that their temperament was very similar to the boys in the script.

The restlessness that can't be concealed all over the body, and the mood of wanting to tease others.

Liu Bige shouted Cut for Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe took Zhang Ruozhi to the monitor to watch the replay of the video he had just taken.

Zhang Ruozhi appeared in the camera, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be exposed from behind the mask in winter, with a layer of clear water in his mouth, and the caution and timidity unique to a girl.

Lu Yanhe's heart dropped solidly.

very nice.

He looked back at Liu Bige.

Liu Bige also nodded to him. The meaning was the same, indicating to Lu Yanhe that Zhang Ruozhi was indeed good.

-

However, although Zhang Ruozhi is really suitable for this role, in Lu Yanhe's view, she is indeed a newcomer and can't act. Even a very simple scene exposed many problems.

Lu Yanhe pulled Zhang Ruozhi aside and said to her: "Ruozhi, you look very beautiful in the camera. Did you see it too?"

Zhang Ruozhi nodded sheepishly.

She is very shy.

"However, acting can't just be good-looking. The first time I filmed was "The Golden Age" directed by Luo Yuzhong. At that time, Director Luo told me that acting is not about acting yourself, but a reaction. ." Lu Yanhe combined with the scene he just performed, "In that scene, you are the main perspective, because it is you as an adult who is recalling what happened in high school, right?"

Zhang Ruozhi nodded.

"So, if you look at the script, all the scenes between you and me are actually from your perspective." Lu Yanhe said, "Although you are wiping the blackboard with your back to me and writing the names of tomorrow's students, But when the camera shoots at me, it will definitely bring your silhouette, or a certain location, because every shot I appear in is your memory."

Zhang Ruozhi was thoughtful.

"Then when you were talking to me just now, and when I was talking to you, it was not two people talking from a normal, flat perspective, but it was all happening through your perspective." Lu Yanhe said, "When you say When you say your lines, before you say them, and after you say them, you have to realize that you are talking to me. You handled it very well just from the beginning. Before talking to me, you looked at me first and then asked me what I am worth tomorrow. Who is Risheng? But after that, your lines and performance have nothing to do with me. You just waited for me to say my words, and you just went along with it. There was no communication between us. "

Lu Yanhe took Zhang Ruozhi to watch the replay of the scene just now.

"Look, if you pause for a moment and be surprised when you hear me asking you a question, after all, I rarely take the initiative to talk to you. In your eyes, I am actually a bit aloof and talk very little. Someone suddenly asked you a question, and you gave people a feeling of surprise. Isn't it more common sense?" Lu Yanhe said with a smile.

"Actually -" Zhang Ruozhi stopped talking.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Actually what?"

"I don't know if Huai Jingshu has fallen in love with this boy with the same name as her at this time, so I don't quite understand her mood." Zhang Ruozhi said, "I'm always a little embarrassed to look at you. You used to Ask me if I have someone I like, and let me put in my feelings when facing the person I like. When I face the person I like, I don’t even dare to look at him.”

Lu Yanhe suddenly understood what Zhang Ruozhi was thinking.

"Then do you want to see him?"

"Huh?" Zhang Ruozhi asked.

"That is, under normal circumstances, when you know that he is not looking at you and no one else is looking at you, would you want to take a secret look at him?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Zhang Ruozhi nodded hesitantly, "Sometimes I take a sneak peek."

"Then if a boy you like, or are somewhat curious about, suddenly talks to you and asks you questions, would you also legitimately take a look at him at this time?"

Zhang Ruozhi stepped in and nodded.

"Will you keep watching?"

"No." Zhang Ruozhi immediately shook his head.

"Well, that's it." Lu Yanhe said, "Actually, you are in this state at this time."

Zhang Ruozhi came back to his senses and was thoughtful.

After Lu Yanhe finished talking to Zhang Ruozhi, he gave her five minutes to think about it again.

-

Liu Bige held his hands on his chest and stood in the corridor with Lu Yanhe.

"Why did you suddenly think of filming such a story?" Liu Bige asked Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe said: "There is no special reason. At that time, I just wanted to shoot a story that could be started quickly, so I thought of this."

Liu Bige: "I haven't read such a pure love story for a long time."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

Liu Bige: "Really, maybe it's because times are different now. You can't see such a love story now. It was only possible if it happened more than ten years ago. Your setting of time and space is really wonderful. Using a span of time creates a natural sense of memory, and it also makes it easy for people of my age to remember when I was studying.”

Liu Bige looked at him suspiciously: "But, is this story based on yourself? Have you ever secretly had a crush on someone?"

Lu Yanhe: "...The person I like is now with me. I don't need to make a movie to commemorate the person I have a crush on."

Liu Bige: "Anyway, after the movie is released, there will definitely be many people who think this way. You'd better think carefully about how you want to answer this question from the media."

Lu Yanhe said: "What's the answer? Could it be that you filmed "Late Spring" just because you have experienced such a youth?"

Liu Bige: "Everyone knows that this has an original story."

"That's not what Miao Yue has experienced."

"Of course we know that the creation is fictional, but for many viewers, this is not the case." Liu Bige said, "It is always easy for everyone to take the stories written by the creator as a matter of course as stories that the creator himself has experienced. "

This is indeed a dilemma that many creators have to face.

-

This afternoon, everyone saw how critical Lu Yanhe was about a shot.

In fact, starting from the third article, Zhang Ruozhi has already given a very good status.

She completely understood what Lu Yanhe told her.

However, Lu Yanhe was not very satisfied with his condition.

He always felt that he acted too facially.

However, this character really has no expression most of the time.

Lu Yanhe himself would be in trouble if he could play such a character who has no lines most of the time.

Especially imitating the version played by Takashi Kashiwahara in my memory. The more I imitate it, the worse it gets.

Even Liu Bige could see his discomfort.

If Lu Yanhe cooperated with Zhang Ruozhi in the past and helped Zhang Ruozhi find his form, later it became Zhang Ruozhi helping Lu Yanhe find his form.

But Lu Yanhe was not in a hurry.

After filming so many scenes, Lu Yanhe has gradually become accustomed to his own creative rhythm. The first scene is always the most difficult to shoot, because you can't find the right state, so you need to slowly adjust and get closer.

Lu Yanhe believed he could find it.

Every time Lu Yanhe and Zhang Ruozhi finished filming, they took Zhang Ruozhi to the monitor and watched it again.

"It's not right, it's still wrong." This is a sentence that always pops up when Lu Yanhe watches his performance.

But except him, no one knew what was wrong.

Liu Bige may know, but he doesn't say anything. On set, he remained largely silent. This is his respect for Lu Yanhe as a director. On someone else's set, you can't speak freely or make comments. This is not his crew, this is Lu Yanhe's crew. A crew only needs one voice.

In fact, Liu Bige also knew what Lu Yanhe was saying was wrong.

Lu Yanhe was looking for a state in which he, as a high school student, had developed some curiosity or affection for girls behind his taciturn image.

If you can't feel this subtle emotion from him, he will really be left with "facial paralysis".

At five o'clock in the afternoon, after eight takes, Lu Yanhe finally got a satisfactory shot and shouted.

knock off.

One shot, shot for an entire afternoon.

That's not too long for a movie.

But eight takes were considered too much. Because this shot is not a very difficult shot, nor is it a very important shot in the movie. In the initial planning, this scene was not planned to take one afternoon. Zhao Yuheng was thinking about whether to change the subsequent shooting plan.

According to Lu Yanhe's shooting method, it's really not possible to finish shooting the summer part in two weeks.

Of course, it’s okay even if it’s overdue. The summer vacation lasted so long that they rented their house for a month.

Lu Yanhe and the others left first.

Everyone else packed up their own things.

Everyone got together and started chatting.

"I feel that this little girl Zhang Ruozhi is very good at acting. She is really photogenic and looks good."

"Yes, she does look good. I think this little girl will become popular in the future."

"You don't even think about it. Lu Yanhe chose him from so many newcomers. How can he not look good?"

Wu Zhou put the camera away and packed it in a box, then turned to look at Bao Wenliang, who was sitting in the last row of chairs in the classroom, smoking.

His camera was also confiscated.

"Brother Wenliang——"

"Have you packed it up?" Bao Wenliang pointed to his camera, "Please pack it up for me. I'm really tired. Damn, I shot one shot eight times. Is there any difference between them? I'm convinced. "

Wu Zhou smiled coquettishly and stepped forward to help him collect the equipment.

Bao Wenliang: "Actually, we could have called it a day, but he insisted on delaying it until now."

"It's not too late to call it a day, it's not dark yet." Wu Zhou said, "It's much better than other crews."

Bao Wenliang: "Other crews worked overtime because there were too many scenes to shoot, and there was no way but to overtime. This scene was shot in one day, and it was such a simple shot. Have you ever seen any crew shoot like this?"

Wu Zhou: "I don't understand either, I'm just a photographer."

"Old Bao, please stop being so lazy. We finish work early today and we are going to have a drink in the evening. Will you go?"

"Let's go."

"OK."

Bao Wenliang said to Wu Zhou: "Xiao Wu, then help me take these back."

Wu Zhou nodded hesitantly and said oh.

Bao Wenliang left with several people.

Those who stayed in the classroom to finish the work were young people from various departments. They are either assistants, apprentices, or juniors like Wu Zhou.

Wu Zhou and them looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

Wu Zhou said: "If there is nothing else to do when we go back later, why don't we get together together?"

Everyone else nodded and said yes.
