You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 26 Breaking the Cocoon

  Zhang Genshui is gone~

   is like an insignificant episode...

   Some people wondered why he was in such a hurry, but the attention was finally attracted by the crew...

  The movie has finally started shooting again.

   The progress of the filming is still very slow, so slow that it is maddening, and even a challenge to people's tolerance.

   When many people heard the whistle of the shooting, their hearts suddenly burst, like soldiers on the battlefield...

   The process of shooting was as desperate as ever.

   Repeated reshoots, repeated deletions, and even the plots that everyone in the crew worked hard for a long time and tried their best to shoot, will all be deleted because of an understated "no".

   Seeing that it took a long time to keep the footage that could be kept, everyone stared at it with big eyes.

   They want to cry.

   It was a very hopeless feeling.

   seems to be cutting meat in your heart, and it's a big piece, the kind you can't breathe.

   Occasionally, some staff complained in private, saying that even if they followed a famous director and crew like Li Dongsheng, they had never been tortured like this...

   They thought it was a nightmare they would never wake up from.

   Of course, after complaining, they continued to film honestly the next day...

   They did not have the intention of leaving.

  The head of the crew, Qian Wei, remained silent in the crew and supported the filming from beginning to end. In addition to Qian Wei, there was also their boss Feng Kai.

   Feng Kai's seat has changed.

   He picked up the horn and sat in the place where Zhou Yang once sat, his face as serious as a piece of ice.

   Not only did he sit in a different place, but from the moment he sat in that position, he seemed to be a different person.

   He began to be extremely strict with filming, and began to be very serious about the actor's state, including the script and other issues.

   Fifty percent of the reshoots and deleted scenes are all from the hands of Feng Kai.

   He is more professional than Zhou Yang after all...

   Zhou Yang only pays attention to the state of the actors, if the state is not right, he will retake the film, but he is more comprehensive...

  Professionals start to get serious, which is an absolute disaster.

   Not only the state of the actors, but also the script, the arrangement of props, and even the attitude of the staff!

Even, when shooting in the mine several times, Feng Kai would personally carry the camera to adjust the angle to shoot. After shooting, he would also carefully check the shot, and even analyze the plot of the shot with a more professional temperament. How will the whole movie be affected? What kind of impact does it have, and what special metaphors...

   They who followed Feng Kai up the mountain a few days ago would never have imagined that...

  The source of the nightmare turned from Zhou Yang to Feng Kai.

   "Is he Director Feng..."

   "Why do you feel like he was infected by Zhou Dao?"

  “…”

   They looked at Feng Kai.

   always felt that something was wrong with Feng Kate, and the sense of disobedience was very strong.

   And Zhou Yang...

   Since Feng Kai came to power, Zhou Yang seems to have become a marginal figure again.

When    was filming, he was sitting next to Feng Kai.

At the beginning of the filming, after Feng Kai finished filming a short story, he would discuss with Zhou Yang with the camera, and Zhou Yang nodded in agreement or shook his head from time to time to retake the film. In addition, Zhou Yang did not seem to be involved in the filming at all. , most of the time they stared at the crew in a daze. After two days of filming, Feng Kai would still hand over the revised footage to Zhou Yang and ask Zhou Yang for his opinion. Zhou Yang basically nodded, even At the back, when the crew started work, Zhou Yang did not appear in the shooting area...

   And this disappearance is not a day or two...

  10 days in a row…

  You can't see any shadow of Zhou Yang in the filming area at all.

   It seems that Zhou Yang has given up the filming rights and handed it all over to Feng Kai...

  It's just that at night, when passing by Zhou Yang's office, everyone saw that the lights in Zhou Yang's office stayed on until the early morning.

   Then the next day, Zhou Yang was seen leaving the mining area in a coal mine truck until he came back in the evening by the sunset.

  No one knows what Zhou Yang is doing...

   They didn't have the time to ask...

  The shooting was really tiring. Repeatedly deleting and shooting, they were tossing them to death. Once the shooting was over, they wanted to fall asleep and think about nothing.

   After arriving at the back, when the lights in Zhou Yang's office were not on at night, they did not confirm whether Zhou Yang was in the mining area or whether he had left the crew.

   Even some of them are still wondering if Zhou Yang has completely packed up and left...

   This state continued until December 12.

  When the movie was filmed, when Tang Chaoyang and Song Jinming went to the talent market to look for a new "fat sheep" plot, everyone moved from the mountain to the hotel at the foot of the mountain again.

   They are going to shoot a lively scene in the market.

   They met Zhou Yang again in the rest shed.

   When they saw Zhou Yang, they were shocked!

   Even Qian Wei pushed up his glasses and looked at the figure in shock.

   He didn't dare to go up and recognize each other for a while!

   "Hello everyone!"

   "Hey, hard work, hard work..."

   "Viagra, what's wrong with you? Don't recognize me? I'm Zhou Yang!"

  “…”

  “…”

  Holding the woven bag with the quilt with both hands, wearing a must-have shabby gray fur hat, and wearing a pair of ripped cotton pants...

   Until the figure patted Qian Wei on the shoulder.

  Qian Wei stammered and looked at Zhou Yang: "Zhou, Director Zhou?"

   He was a little unsure.

   He couldn't believe that this guy with dirty clothes had a straightforward smile on his face, as if the guy who was a migrant worker in the city turned out to be Zhou Yang.

   Even if he looks a lot like Zhou Yang...

   "Yes, it's me, cough, it's me... It's only been a few days, um... I haven't seen you for more than ten days, so I don't recognize you?"

   "Zhou, Director Zhou, what's your accent..."

  “…”

   Qian Wei's eyes were full of discord.

   staring at Zhou Yang again...

   His sense of separation is very strong!

   Not only the way Zhou Yang walks, the expression on his face, his movements have changed...

   Even the accent has changed incredible!

   His accent is no longer standard Mandarin, but a hint of Henan accent, which sounds very awkward and rustic.

  In less than half a month...

   What happened to him?

   Not only Qian Wei was shocked.

   Even Feng Kai stared straight.

"you……"

  Feng Kai looked at Zhou Yang, and he said the word "you"...

   Then, as if something was stuck in his throat, he couldn't say anything.

   He stared at Zhou Yang repeatedly.

   A lot of doubts and uncertainties flashed through.

   "Director Feng...try?" Zhou Yang looked at Feng Kai with a naive smile.

   "Okay!" Feng Kai nodded, "I listen to you and try shooting now."

  “…”

  …………………………

   Pull the isolation line.

   Organized extras...

   The plot of this scene finally started filming.

   In a noisy talent market…

   They saw Zhou Yang's figure gradually entering the camera.

Under the camera, he was walking aimlessly through the crowd with his luggage on his back, and when he saw someone was recruiting, he gathered up the courage to move forward, but in the end he missed the opportunity because of his nervousness. Then, he continued to look around, confused. A trace of confusion flashed through understanding.

  The camera gave him a close-up.

  Under the camera, he was still looking around silently, as if he had inadvertently swept the camera. In just a few seconds, three emotions appeared in his eyes.

   Confused, uneasy, hesitant...

   He clutched the straps of his backpack tightly, and just kept wandering among the crowd. The young and unworldly man was just a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old rural youth who dropped out of school to work...
