Millennium director

"Okay, all departments are ready!"

"The lighting artist will brighten the light a little brighter!"

"Three, two, one!"

"Power on!"

Under the command of the assistant director, the photographer moved the camera and started shooting.

In the camera, Wu Yuan, wearing a simple shirt and jeans, slowly entered the scene holding an antique cabinet.

"Mom, look what I found." Wu Yuan shouted to the spiral staircase with a slightly excited tone.

The noble-looking teacher Siqingaowa slowly walked down the spiral staircase.

"Hey, where did this big desk and cabinet come from?"

"I found it at the second-hand market." Wu Yuan laughed and said proudly: "This table and cabinet looks like an object from the old Republic of China. It must be eighty or ninety years old."

"The person who sold this cabinet didn't know the goods. He said it was an old item at home and he didn't want it anymore after moving. I spent 200 yuan to get it back."

The assistant director standing outside the screen held a walkie-talkie and quickly shouted: "Okay, click!"

The sound of hitting the board rang out.

Wu Yuan put away the smile on his face and walked quickly towards the monitor.

"Brother, your acting is pretty good. Your acting skills are promising." Liu Yifei, who had been sitting by the monitor watching the shooting, said with some jealousy: "I don't see you practicing your acting skills in normal times. Are you going behind my back?" Did you practice secretly?"

Compared with when he was filming "Goblin", Wu Yuan's acting skills were more simple and unpretentious.

This is not a criticism, but a compliment.

In this scene, Wu Yuan didn't have any outstanding performance, but he just had this ordinary and ordinary appearance, which fit the scene in the script very well. It didn't look like he was acting, but just like he was chatting at home.

Wu Yuan ignored Liu Yifei and calmly played back the footage before nodding with satisfaction and saying: "Yes, it can be used."

"It's not that my acting skills are great, it's just that compared to idol dramas like "Goblin", realistic feature films like "Love Letter" are more in line with my own life."

"No need to act, just be yourself."

If Wu Yuan is asked to act in a fairy-tale drama, where he hangs wires and flies around in the sky, performs hand seals, and performs various cool moves, then he may not be able to perform well.

But playing an ordinary urban youth in his twenties is quite easy.

Because he had already lived such a life in his dream.

The real scene is reproduced.

In fact, many so-called "good acting" actors are just acting in their true colors.

They specialize in taking roles that fit their own personalities and realistic temperaments. When acting, they only need to show their true side, so that the audience can shout "Well done" and "Excellent acting skills!" and let those who know the inside story People can't laugh or cry.

Of course, this kind of actor usually has a very narrow acting career and can only play one type of role. But if he tries other roles that have a big contrast with his own personality, his true colors will be revealed immediately and he will be criticized by the audience.

Wu Yuan's acting skills are naturally not very superb. He can understand the actors' acting skills and can even guide and provide the actors with various performance effects he wants.

But this is just because he is the director, and the actors will work hard to find a way to present whatever performance effect he wants.

And if he really had to act it himself, 80% of the time he wouldn't be able to perform it. Actors also need practice to make perfect.

So when writing the script of "Love Letter" this time, Wu Yuan consciously wrote the male protagonist in the direction of his true character, so that he didn't need to put too much thought into the performance.

It is equivalent to customizing a script for yourself.

So even though today is the first official day of filming, his work as an actor has gone very smoothly.

After rubbing his chin and watching the playback on the monitor several times, Wu Yuancai said: "Qianqian, the character named Jiang Lan you played this time is not the same as Bai Xiuzhu in "The Golden Family" that you played when you debuted. The background settings are the same, they are both young ladies from wealthy families during the Republic of China, and they also studied in the UK."

"But compared to Bai Xiuzhu, who is full of the temper of a young lady, Jiang Lan is a gentle and sensible girl."

"You can't play this role with the same feeling you had when you played Bai Xiuzhu."

"Oops." Liu Yifei patted Wu Yuan on the back with some dissatisfaction, "Brother, I have been thinking about the script for a long time, and I still understand this clearly."

"Don't worry, I'm very good at this kind of role."

"The Wang Yuyan I played back then was also hailed as the best Wang Yuyan."

"I am much more mature now than I was then, and I can only perform better than I did then."

"Yes." Wu Yuan said reassuringly: "Indeed, your current acting skills have indeed improved by leaps and bounds compared to those when you first debuted."

"You performed very well in "Young You" this time. You may have a chance to become the Golden Rooster Best Actress."

Zhou Dongyu won the Golden Rooster Best Actress and the Hong Kong Island Film Awards Best Actress with "Young You".

However, compared to Zhou Dongyu, Liu Yifei is still a bit too beautiful. Even if she shaves off her head in the film, it is hard to say whether she can impress the judges of the Golden Rooster and the Golden Statue.

I can only say that beautiful actors really suffer a lot in the selection of such so-called art awards.

But Wu Yuan still has great confidence in Liu Yifei, because her performance this time is really good.

Wu Yuan, who has watched at least two-thirds of the film's material, compared it with Zhou Dongyu's version in his mind, and thought that Liu Yifei's version was not inferior at all. Although the performance styles were different, they were both brilliant!

The little girl who was sixteen or seventeen years old and was scolded and cried by the director and Chen Kun because she didn't know how to act in her first film has now grown into an excellent young actress.

Even better than Liu Yifei in the original time and space!

In this regard, Wu Yuan was also very proud.

Liu Yifei's acting breakthrough was entirely due to his day and night training and training.

In addition, he gave Liu Yifei a larger platform, allowing her to cooperate with top actors in Hollywood early before her acting skills were finalized, which opened many doors to new worlds.

"Hehe, it's true!" Liu Yifei grinned, very happy, and she was already imagining herself holding the Best Actress trophy in her mind.

Her biggest goal in life is to become an actress full of honors and widely recognized for her acting skills. Gong Li has been her idol from beginning to end.

Since joining the industry in 2002, Liu Yifei can now be regarded as a veteran actor who has been acting for ten years, and it is time for her to receive an acting trophy that belongs to her.

"I never lie to you." Wu Yuan shrugged, pointed to the center of the set, and said with a smile: "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this."

"After this one, let's continue taking pictures of the next one!" (End of this chapter)
