Millennium director

The decorated coffee shop was filled with extras brought from the entrance of Beijing Film Studio.

Following Wu Yuan's "Action", the extras, who had been sitting quietly in their seats just now, immediately chatted and laughed with each other, tasting the coffee and snacks on the table.

Four film cameras were focused on the table in the center of the cafe from different angles.

Luo Jin and Yuan Hong looked around at the layout of the coffee shop.

"The carpentry on the ceiling is pretty good."

"This chair is quite comfortable to sit on."

"This newly opened coffee shop is more sophisticated than the one we used to go to."

Because they had already gone through the scene several times before the official start of filming, the performance of both of them was pretty good.

Wu Yuan, who was sitting behind the monitor, nodded and said with satisfaction: "Cut to the point!"

A camera moved forward, and the lens focused on the waiter who was not participating in the chat, but was holding a menu and looking blankly at the surroundings.

"Sanye" has never seen such a high-end restaurant in a rural town. Even in the town where she lives, the only place that sells things is a canteen converted from a dealership!

"Wenjie, are you ready?"

Yuan Hong's shout brought him back to his senses, and he quickly lowered his head to look at the menu.

"So expensive?!"

"The cost of a cup of coffee is more than my monthly pocket money!" Hu Ge shouted in surprise.

"Okay, click!"

When the on-site field management decided, Wu Yuan picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Keep this status and keep one more line!"

Liu Yifei, who had been standing next to Wu Yuan watching his performance, quickly handed Wu Yuan a bottle of mineral water.

"Brother, the weather is hot, drink more water."

"Oh, okay." Wu Yuan casually took the mineral water without looking at it, opened it and took a sip, while hurriedly giving instructions: "Props team! Put food on the table for the extras!"

"As for the lighting artist, adjust the light angle and make the backlight brighter to make the cafe brighter!"

"Remember to add a few group shots during the photography session."

"Hurry up and take another photo!"

The filming of "Your Name" was not too difficult.

For these actors, most of the roles they play can be considered true-to-life performances. For college students to play high school students, there is no possibility that they have not experienced anything and do not know how to act.

Not to mention Chen Hao. As the most professional actor in the entire cast except Grandma Wu, the role of Sun Meimei is a piece of cake for her.

Isn’t she just a heartthrob sister with flaming red lips and full of charm? Isn’t that something that comes easily?

The only one that is more challenging is Hu Ge.

He is indeed the most important actor in this movie and has the most complex role.

In order for him to act in this movie well, Wu Yuan narrated the scene to him every day. Before each official shooting, he had to let him walk through the scene several times to make sure it was OK before filming.

Hu Ge is quite spiritual. At least the 21-year-old Hu Ge basically fits the character of the male protagonist in "Your Name". He can't be said to be easy to perform, but it went smoothly under Wu Yuan's training.

The filming of the scenes in Beijing is progressing in an orderly manner.

However, not all of the crew was busy. Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, and Zhou Yang, who mainly filmed scenes in Yunnan Province, were relatively free.

In fact, Wu Yuan did not require them to form a team with the capital.

For example, teacher Wu Yanshu, who plays Grandma Sanye, has not joined the cast yet. She will not be notified to join the cast until the crew moves to Yunnan Province.

But Liu Yifei took the initiative to join the group, saying that she wanted to observe the shooting skills of other actors and learn from them.

If she did this, Zhou Yang and Zhu Yawen would definitely come together.

It is a good thing for an actor to be eager to learn, and Wu Yuan is naturally happy to see this.

The three of them also reported to the set on time every day and followed the crew to start and finish work.

No, today we were filming a date scene between Hu Ge and Chen Hao on an overpass near Shunyi, the capital. All three of them were present, and they were even sitting on the edge of the set, looking like they were watching the show.

"I have melon seeds here, Sissi, would you like some?" Zhu Yawen took out a large bag of bulk melon seeds from his arms as if by magic, and handed them to Liu Yifei like a treasure without even looking at Zhou Yang next to him.

Zhou Yang was a little unhappy, raised his hand and slapped Zhu Yawen on the back: "You only have eyes for Sissi, right? Why don't you ask me if I want to eat?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Zhu Yawen grinned and touched his back, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Zhou Yang's hand: "Eat, eat, eat, I'm not letting you eat."

Watching the two of them fighting, Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed out loud. She knew that Zhou Yang was trying to save her.

As a relatively sensitive girl, Zhou Yang could actually tell that Zhu Yawen's feelings for Qianqian seemed to have deteriorated recently, from a classmate friendship to something else.

She could also see that Liu Yifei had no idea in this regard, so she made a joke to prevent both parties from being too embarrassed.

casually stuffing the melon seeds in Liu Yifei's hand, Zhou Yang grabbed another handful from the bag, and then said with satisfaction: "Sit tight, the filming will start soon."

"Look at how people act in emotional dramas. You can learn from it and see how Hu Ge gets into and out of dramas."

Well, that makes sense.

Zhu Yawen glanced at Liu Yifei awkwardly, sat back on the folding chair obediently, and looked at Hu Ge and Chen Hao who were preparing on the overpass.

However, after waiting for a while, they did not wait for Wu Yuan to shout "start". They only saw a staff member trotting up to Wu Yuan and saying something. Then Wu Yuan stood up and shouted to stop the set. , followed the staff.

"What's going on?" Zhu Yawen said with some doubts.

"I don't know." Liu Yifei and Zhou Yang looked at each other and shook their heads.

Soon, they knew the answer.

A few minutes later, Wu Yuan led the three people back to the overpass.

The crew of "If Love" came to visit the cast of "Your Name".

Zhang Guorong, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun followed Wu Yuan, all looking at the set curiously.

"Director Wu, if I had known that you were filming on location today, I would have come to visit the team another day." Zhang Guorong wiped the sweat from his forehead. It is still very hot in the capital in August, and you will be sweating profusely if you stay outdoors for a while.

Zhou Xun's attention was focused on the actors, and he looked curiously at Hu Ge and Chen Hao, who were playing opposite each other: "Are these the male and female protagonists of your movie?"

"The boy is new, right?"

“The woman looks familiar”

"Ah! You are the heartthrob of "Pink Girl", right? This TV series is very popular!" Zhou Xun pulled Chen Kun's sleeve: "Kun'er, this girl is beautiful, why don't you go up and ask for her contact information? "

"Don't make trouble." Chen Kun pulled away Zhou Xun's outstretched hand with a black line on his face, "Now that you have a boyfriend, you just want all your friends to fall in love, right?"

"Why don't you give one to Yuan'er?"

"Haha." Zhou Xun smiled and introduced his girlfriend to this person. Are you kidding me?

Wu Yuan, who was listening to their bickering, was also amused and shook his head: "Chen Hao is not the heroine, the heroine is there."

As he said that, he pointed to Liu Yifei and three people sitting in a row in the corner of the set.

Chen Kun and Zhou Xun followed his hand and looked over, and their eyes happened to collide with those of Liu Yifei and the other three who were looking over.

"Is it her?" Chen Kun was a little surprised: "Liu Yifei?"

Liu Yifei was also surprised to see Chen Kun.

On the set of "Golden Pink Family", Chen Kun was not very kind to her.

Wu Yuan also looked over. He smiled and said to Chen Kun: "The little girl is still working hard. She also studies hard and conscientiously in school and has gained a lot of practical experience."

"Stop looking at her through the eyes of Wu Xia Amon."

As he spoke, he waved to Liu Yifei.

Zhou Xun looked back and forth between Wu Yuan and Chen Kun curiously. She didn't know Liu Yifei, and she didn't know what the two of them had to do with her, but she didn't ask.

But Zhang Guorong was different. He directly asked out of curiosity: "What's wrong with this little girl?"

"It's nothing." Wu Yuan shrugged: "This girl made her debut with Chen Kun before she was a freshman. She didn't know anything about acting at that time. Every time she acted opposite Chen Kun, she You have to be taught a lesson by him.”

"I don't know how many times the little girl has cried when she was scolded."

"It's something Kun'er can do." Zhou Xun nodded with sudden realization.

Chen Kun is really serious about acting. Even if she didn't act well on the set, she would be criticized by Chen Kun, not to mention a young girl who hasn't learned acting yet.

Zhou Xun could imagine how miserable he would have been scolded at that scene.

While a few people were chatting, Liu Yifei, who saw Wu Yuan waving, also walked over nervously.

"Director Wu, are you calling me?" She asked in a low voice, then looked at Chen Kun, who looked cold, and greeted timidly: "Hello, Teacher Chen Kun."

"Hey, hey, hey." Wu Yuan was not happy when he heard this title.

"If you call me Senior Brother, how come you are the teacher when you call me Brother Kuner?" Wu Yuan smiled and hugged Chen Kun's shoulders: "This is your direct senior brother, please call me Senior Brother!"

Liu Yifei raised her head and glanced at Chen Kun. Seeing that his expression had not changed, she shouted softly: "Hello, senior brother."

【

】

"Yeah." Maybe it was for Wu Yuan's sake, or maybe he listened to what Wu Yuan said just now, Chen Kun nodded kindly and said: "It's great for you to be able to act in Director Wu's play. A lucky thing.”

"If you don't understand something or don't know something, just ask Director Wu. Don't figure it out by yourself."

"Perform well, show your all-out attitude, and don't embarrass the school and your brothers and sisters."

"You still have acting talent. As long as you work hard, you will become an excellent actor."

But no, it’s all in Wu Yuan’s movie, can the future still be bright?

"Yeah!" Liu Yifei nodded firmly and promised seriously: "I will work hard to act well and not embarrass my senior brother!"

Chen Kun then showed a smile, patted her shoulder with a smile, then turned to Wu Yuan and said:

"Yuan'er, Director Zhang has called you two carts of watermelon. Why don't you let the crew take a break and eat some watermelon before continuing filming."

Sure enough, it's watermelon again, the first choice for summer visits.

Wu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Okay."

"Where's the assistant director! Notify all the crew that they're eating watermelon!"

"If Love" was started much earlier than "Your Name". When Wu Yuan was still in the United States, Zhang Guorong started shooting in the capital.

Of the investment in this film, three million US dollars came from Light and Shadow Times, and the remaining one million US dollars came from China Film.

To be honest, the cost of 30 million yuan is still very high to recover, but it is not impossible.

As long as this movie can have a box office of 20 million and win a few heavyweight awards, then selling the copyright will not only make back the money but also make a small profit.

Therefore, Director Han is quite optimistic about this project, and all preparatory work has been given the green light.

After "Stealing Heart" was released with a box office of 18 million yuan in the mainland and 23 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, the filming of "If Love" began.

Now, the filming of the film's scenes in Beijing has been completed, and the crew has entered a shutdown stage.

There is no way, the remaining scenes need to be shot in winter, and the weather has to be minus ten to twenty degrees, so it is impossible to shoot now.

Zhang Guorong could only wait until winter came and then take the crew to the Northeast to find a location to shoot the rest of the plot.

Sitting under the awning and eating melon, Wu Yuan asked: "Zhang Sheng, are you going to return to the Hong Kong music scene and release a new album?"

"Well, I promised my fans and friends that I will make a new album this year."

Zhang Guorong, who was also picking out melon seeds with a piece of watermelon, said casually: "I won't accept the drama now, but I can't completely go behind the scenes. I still have to do the album."

"Compared to acting, making an album is easier to arrange your time."

Acting takes a month or two as soon as you join the group, and you can't do other things in the middle. But when making an album, you can choose the time to go into the studio to record songs, and divide it into several days or ten to record, which makes the time arrangement much easier.

Zhang Guorong can even record songs while filming.

Even holding a concert is definitely not compatible with filming.

"There will be no tour this year. We may have a tour next year, and we will have to spend at least half the year on concerts." Zhang Guorong added.

He was reporting to Wu Yuan in advance, telling him not to approach him if there was a drama next year.

"Okay, I understand." Wu Yuan nodded.

He also has a movie project in hand, which is the remake rights of "The Butterfly Effect" he bought from New Line.

Wu Yuan plans to make this movie next year and release it in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, giving mainland audiences a taste of low-budget science fiction movies.

The movie "The Butterfly Effect", like "The Night the Comet Came", is a science fiction story based on a physical experiment or conjecture.

There are not many special effects, but the story is related to science fiction and can bring a lot of "science fiction" enlightenment to domestic audiences.

No way, before "The Night the Comet Came", mainland movies didn't have the concept of science fiction at all.

Wu Yuan doesn't want to wait until "The Wandering Earth" 20 years later, or until future foreign science fiction blockbusters such as "Transformers", "Gravity" and "Interstellar" to baptize domestic audiences. That would be too late.

He wants to lay out the domestic science fiction film market as soon as possible!

But who to find as director for this "Butterfly Effect" is indeed a problem.

Putting this matter behind his mind for the time being, Wu Yuan ate the watermelon in two bites, stood up and clapped his hands: "Everyone eat as soon as possible, and start filming immediately after eating!"

"If it's any later, it will be evening, and the scene will have to be postponed until tomorrow!"

On that day, the crew of "Your Name" finished work at 5:30 pm.

Due to the visit of Zhang Guorong and others, it was somewhat delayed. As a result, the filming of this scene was not completed and had to be reshot tomorrow. However, the whole crew was very happy.

There was watermelon to eat, and we also avoided the hottest hour at noon.

Liu Yifei was also very happy. When her mother came to pick her up, she was bouncing when she walked.

"Sissi, why are you so happy today?" Liu Xiaoli asked curiously.

She had something to do today and couldn't get away from it, so she didn't accompany Liu Yifei on the set. Unexpectedly, her daughter seemed to have encountered something interesting today.

"Hehe." Liu Yifei shook her head, reached out and hugged her mother's arm, and said coquettishly: "Brother Chen Kun came to visit the class today. He even encouraged me to act well and praised me for my talent!"

"Oh~" Liu Xiaoli covered her mouth and chuckled: "He can still praise others?"

"It's a pity that mom is not here today and didn't see him praising you."

"It seems that our Sissi has really become better. This year's acting class was not in vain."

Liu Yifei smiled naively: "My senior brother is right. I should lay the foundation now. I should study the classes in school seriously, and I should also observe and study the performances of other actors when I am on the set."

"Mom, let me tell you, Hu Ge did a great job today. He is only a sophomore..."

"And Sister Chen, she is really beautiful, and her every move and smile is charming. I can't even imitate it..."

The mother and daughter entered the house chatting and laughing.

Liu Xiaoli went into the kitchen to prepare meals for her daughter, while Liu Yifei was busy feeding the pets at home.

Both mother and daughter had restless tempers. After a busy time, eating and bathing, when Liu Yifei finally relaxed and returned to her room, it was already close to nine o'clock in the evening.

After twisting her sore waist, Liu Yifei thought for a moment, and instead of lying on the bed, she walked to the desk and sat down, and pulled out a thick leather notebook from the drawer.

On the cover of the notebook, there are four big words written: "Diary on the set."

After concentrating on these four words, Liu Yifei turned over the inside page.

On each page, there is a small line recording the date and the crew's diary.

On September 12, 2002, the weather was sunny.

I arrived in Yongkang today. It’s really beautiful here. I also met Brother Zhiying. Little Tornado is really handsome!

On September 13, 2002, the weather was sunny.

Today, two boys came up to me on the street and asked for directions. Boys these days are really bad guys. They always look for a pretty girl when asking for directions.

September 14, 2002, the weather was cloudy.

Brother Zhiying was NGed more than a dozen times today. Wia hung up all afternoon. It hurt to watch. Fortunately, the character I played, Wang Yuyan, didn’t know martial arts.

On September 16, 2002, the weather was neither sunny nor cloudy.

Hey, I filmed night scenes for two nights in a row. I’m so tired. I have to start work early in the morning tomorrow. Justice can be late, so why can’t I be late?

September 18, 2002, light rain.

I’m so annoyed. I was praised by Sister Chen Hao and Sister Tao for being beautiful again. Now I kind of hate myself. No matter how hard I try, I’m just a beauty in the eyes of others.

September 21, 2002, moderate rain.

I recently discovered a good way to vent my stress. Every time I get scolded on the set, I will go to the toilet. After going, I angrily say to the toilet: Eat shit! Then I rush to the toilet, which is really a great relief!

"..."

Most of what is recorded in the diary is Liu Yifei's life on the set and her small insights when she was on the set of "Dragon". No wonder it is called "The Diary of the Set".

And scrolling back further, the date directly spans a year, which is some records of her life on the set of "Your Name".

Soon, she turned to a new blank page.

Picking up the ball pen on the table, Liu Yifei glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall, lowered her head and started writing.

On August 23, 2003, the weather was sunny.

Today, Director Zhang Guorong, Sister Zhou Xun and Senior Brother Chen Kun came to visit the crew, and Senior Brother Chen Kun even praised me.

I know that he said nice things to me because of my senior brother's face, but I am still very grateful to him.

I hope that when I see Senior Brother Chen Kun next time, I can straighten my back and confidently tell him that my acting skills are already very good!

By the way, my senior brother smiled at me today. He looks so nice when he smiles, hehe.
