"It's your first day of filming, how do you feel?"
In the evening, Lu Yanhe took a few people to Sister Jing's private kitchen for dinner, including Zhang Ruozhi, her mother, and her friend Liu Lingmeng.
In addition to a few of them, Chen Bige, Liu Bige, Xin Zixing, and Zhao Yuheng were also there.
Zhang Ruozhi smiled shyly and said: "It feels...ok."
"You did a good job." Xin Zixin said to Zhang Ruozhi with a smile. , "Before watching you act today, I was a little worried, You have never acted before, so I don’t know how it goes. I think it’s risky for Yan He to choose a high school student who is in his second year of high school to act. But after watching it today, I know why Yan He chose you to act. ”
Zhang Ruozhi lowered his head shyly and whispered: "Thank you."
"However, according to our shooting speed, won't we be able to finish the shooting in two weeks?" Xin Zixing said directly When asked about this, "Yan He, I didn't expect that you would be holding us all back later."
She actually said this on purpose, in order to make Zhang Ruozhi relax.
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. The first few days of shooting are used to get familiar with the characters and the shooting environment. The shooting speed will become faster as everyone becomes more and more familiar with the movie. ."
Zhao Yuheng said: "All the scenes in Xia Tian are high. There weren’t many scenes in the middle period. When I was making the shooting plan, the two weeks of shooting were actually extended. Even if it was overdue, it didn’t matter. We signed a contract with everyone on the crew this summer. Director, you can take your time filming for forty days.”
"Reliable." Lu Yanhe nodded, "However, there should be no problem after filming in two weeks."
Chen Bige was not at the filming site today.
She went hiking with her assistant in the mountains outside Jiangzhi City.
She specifically didn’t go there. On the first day of filming, she could predict that Lu Yanhe would be a director for the first time and Zhang Ruozhi would be an actor for the first time. They would be a little overwhelmed on the set.
If she still goes, it will probably distract them even more.
She was pleasantly surprised to hear everyone say that although today's shooting took longer than expected, the situation was pretty good.
"Yan He, I have to suspect that you are really protected by some kind of luck." Chen Bige said, "I thought that today is the first day of filming for you, and the studio will definitely be in a hurry."
“I have invited so many big guys to help me, and all departments are running smoothly. How can I be in such a hurry?” Lu Yanhe said to Chen Bige, "Sister Bige, it turns out you don't trust me so much."
Chen Bige: "That's right, even if I don't trust you, I agreed to play the heroine for you. I'm so scared." For example, not long after the production of "Rouge Button" was completed, I took over your film."
Lu Yanhe smiled and picked up the cup and paid tribute to Chen Bige.
What they drank tonight was local fruit wine, which was not high in alcohol and tasted sweet.
The two people looked at each other and laughed.

Liu Lingmeng whispered in Zhang Ruozhi's ear: "Ruoruo, these celebrities feel no different from our parents in private."
Zhang Ruozhi whispered: "Yes."
Liu Lingmeng was thoughtful, "You have such a shy personality, but they don't dislike you."
"Ah?" Zhang Ruozhi glanced at his friend, "Why do they dislike me? ”
Liu Lingmeng said: “Not everyone says that society is afraid of Can't you survive in the entertainment industry?"
Zhang Ruozhi: "..."
Liu Lingmeng folded his hands on his chest and hummed, "But people can change, you I see Lu Yanhe was more socially intimidated than you when he first debuted.”
Zhang Ruozhi: "Keep your voice down."
"They were chatting and didn't pay attention to us." Liu Lingmeng said while eating the food, "But I didn't expect that Director Liu Bige was so handsome. "
Zhang Ruozhi: "You haven't seen Liu online before. "Is it a photo of Director Bige?"
"I thought it was photoshopped," Liu Lingmeng said, "I also thought that this director, even though he is not an artist, went so far to make himself look so handsome."
The two of them thought that no one was paying attention to what they were saying.
But Xin Zixing heard everything.
She couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
The two girls immediately looked over to her.
Xin Zixing immediately made a zipper gesture on his mouth.

On the second day of filming, Lu Yanhe went to the dressing room at eight o'clock in the morning and changed into his school uniform.
The first scene to be filmed today is a direct follow-up to yesterday’s filming, where a few boys suddenly appeared from the door, heckled the two Aijiki on duty, and then turned around and ran away. .
Lu Yanhe specially found a few boys from Zhang Ruozhi's class to play these roles.
When we arrived at the scene, all departments were already in place.
He went to talk to some boys about the play and asked everyone to rehearse it first.
Zhang Ruozhi has also sat down in the classroom.
Suddenly, he heard Liu Bige ask: "Where is Bao Wenliang?"
Lu Yanhe looked back.
Wu Zhou said to Liu Bige: "Brother Bao...has not come yet."
Liu Bige: "What's the matter with him not coming yet?"
Wu Zhou looked like he was about to speak but hesitated.
Liu Bige took out his cell phone and made a call.
But no one seemed to answer the phone.
Lu Yanhe withdrew his gaze and continued to talk with others.
Since Liu Bige is in charge, he doesn’t need to interfere.
However, when the scene was successfully filmed, Bao Wenliang had not yet appeared.
Wu Zhou shot the whole scene with one camera. There were no dual cameras, so he could only film Zhang Ruozhi’s reaction first, and then the scene with the boys at the door. There were many actors. Play it several times.
Of course the actors didn't mind - it was their first time acting and they were very excited.
Especially a few boys, who are obviously in the restless stage of adolescence and are excited about anything they do. This is filming a movie again - they didn't expect that they just ran into the cafe, why did they suddenly run away? It's in the movie.
It wasn’t until almost noon that Bao Wenliang came over in a hurry.
Liu Bige's face turned dark and asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Bao Wenliang's face was full of apologies, "Sorry, Director Bige, I felt a little uncomfortable this morning and went to the hospital. "
Liu Bige's eyes passed over Bao Wenliang's hair, which was obviously just getting up from the bed.
Bao Wenliang also realized something, raised his hand to smooth his hair, chuckled, and said: "I was so anxious to go out this morning that I forgot to comb my hair. I also wanted to finish watching it early and return to the set early. ."
Liu Bige: "Did you know there was filming this morning?"
"I know... I know." Bao Wenliang nodded.
"Since we know that there will be filming this morning, even if you feel uncomfortable, can't you ask for leave in advance for the crew?" Liu Bige said, "Don't you understand this rule?" What Liu Bige said He said it in front of everyone, leaving no sympathy for Bao Wenliang at all.
Bao Wenliang wanted to explain a few more words to himself, but after seeing Liu Bige's stern expression, he licked his lips twice, and finally did not speak, and honestly admitted Wrong.
-
At noon, everyone went to the school cafeteria to eat together.
The crew signed a contract agreement directly with the school canteen, asking them to provide the crew with three meals a day.
It is also convenient.
Hiring a local chef to help cook for dozens of people in the crew can earn more than usual, and it is not as hard as cooking for thousands of students. The chef is also happy to take on such a job.
Xin Zixing is in charge of the crew's logistics, and all conditions are met. Generally speaking, the person in charge of logistics in a production crew must be the most trusted person. Because there is the most trouble here, and the most oil and water can be fished out. How to do it really depends on the person.
For Lu Yanhe, Xin Zixing is really the only person around him who can do this. Only she can be trusted and experienced, and she will not make mistakes.
Xin Zixing was just as Lu Yanhe expected, with food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything was in place without any mistakes.
Eating in the canteen is a buffet style. Everyone takes a plate and prepares their own food.
Lu Yanhe and Zhang Ruozhi made it separately, only one portion. It's not to eat better and highlight their importance as protagonists, but Lu Yanhe requires that they must have less oil and less salt, and the food selection must also control the calories so that both of them can maintain their best health. state.
One of the most important professional ethics for an actor on the set is to keep yourself in good condition and be available at any time.
Lenses can't deceive people.
If your eyes are a little tired, the camera will magnify them infinitely.

"Old Bao, you were scolded quite badly by Liu Bige today." The people who were drinking together last night sat at the same table, and Bao Wenliang was laughed at by the people at the same table. .
Bao Wenliang's table was far away from Lu Yanhe's table, so nothing he said could reach that side.
However, he still glanced tabooly in the direction of Liu Bige, and then he sighed at the person who just laughed at him and said, "If you hadn't pumped me so hard yesterday, I wouldn't be unable to get up today."
"You can hold me back. Yesterday it was clearly you who insisted on drinking, but we couldn't hold you back."
Bao Wenliang: "Stop talking nonsense."
"Liu Bige is too much. After all, you are also the number one photographer for our drama. I won't show mercy to you at all. I will look at you with anger." I feel chilling."
Bao Wenliang waved his hand and said, "Liu Bige is speaking for me."
"You're so funny. I scolded you so much that I still spoke for you."
"He scolded me, and it's hard for others to say anything. Look at what Lu Yanhe said to me. What's wrong?" Bao Wenliang looked confident, "You really don't understand."
"You. Lu Yanhe was the one who asked me to help. How dare he scold you for such a trivial matter? Old Bao, if he really scolds you, can you bear it?"
"Fuck, I'll show it to you? I'm late, otherwise why would I go back? Are you trying to trick me?" Bao Wenliang scolded with a smile.
"Didn't you say that yourself last night? Not much money, but a lot of shit." Others laughed, "What do you think of the film "Love Letter"? Can it be done?"
"Just a pretentious love story can become a fart." Someone laughed.
"That is to say, Lu Yanhe can film this film. If you change the script to another person, who will come?"
"Indeed, it is said that it is not a literary film. I read those in the script The lines are so pretentious.”
“Perhaps those of us in our forties have become outdated.”
“Anyway, we just work with money. You don’t care whether it succeeds or not. Success has nothing to do with us. If it doesn’t, it has nothing to do with us. It doesn’t affect our ability to get money.”
"That's the truth."
......
Wu Zhou, who was sitting at the table next to him, heard these words and ate in silence.
In this industry, there are really many such "old fritters".
Not everyone working in the entertainment industry is an idealist and hopes to make a good film.
Not everyone can be motivated as described in many movies, TV series and novels.
The reality is that only a very small number of people work under the drive of "making a good show", while the vast majority of people, just like people in other industries, just have a part-time mentality. Doing this work. Even if you can fish, you can fish -
People like Bao Wenliang are like the older middle-level people in the company. They have some qualifications and some capital, so they have a high self-esteem. If you say he can't do it, he has his own abilities. It's impossible to say how capable he is. At the age of over 40, he is already a veteran. At this time, he is still doing front-line photography work. Being an ordinary photographer is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Wu Zhou looked down upon this approach, but Bao Wenliang had more seniority and better skills than him. In the photography industry, he is just a rookie who has only been in the industry for a few years, while Bao Wenliang is already an experienced person. Things like technology are useless if you talk about the heart. The spirit of Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains is admirable, but it is not as good as an emotionless bomb.
Wu Zhou himself attached great importance to the filming of this drama.
The movie "Love Letter" will definitely be a movie that attracts attention in the industry.
For an inexperienced photographer like him, this time as the second-ranked member of the photography crew to participate in a movie written, directed and starred by Lu Yanhe and starring Chen Bige, it is a great addition to his resume. , is a very rich and colorful stroke.
Wu Zhou also knew that this was an opportunity specially given to him by Liu Bige. During the filming of "Late Spring", he was only a camera assistant and was not even the crew's signed photographer. He only appeared as a member of the camera crew at the end of the film. He cherished this opportunity.
-
After getting familiar with each other on the set for a few days, Lu Yanhe gradually adapted to this rhythm.
He was concentrating on the crew's work and didn't care about anything else. There is no need to distract him from school studies, and there is no other work to involve his mind. Although tired, I am full of energy.
Lu Yanhe then realized that what he had done before might really be a bit too complicated. Taking care of everything, a person has to be divided into several parts to do things, and a brain has to cut out different areas to deal with different things.
Now, being able to concentrate on just one thing made him feel relaxed and happy.
When Chen Ziyan brought Tu Song and Wen Minglan to visit the class, she clearly felt that Lu Yanhe's state was somewhat different - very tired, but very energetic.
This seemingly contradictory set of words appears in Lu Yanhe, but it is not inconsistent at all.
Tu Song asked: "Sister Ziyan, is there really no theme song or interlude for me to sing in this movie?"
Chen Ziyan glanced at him helplessly, "How many times have I told you? Of course I will recommend you if there is a suitable opportunity, but if there is no suitable opportunity, it will not be sweet."
Tu Song: "Me neither. I want to force it, but there must be a lot of people coming to Lu Yanhe. I am afraid that others will get in first."
Chen Ziyan: "Are you telling me that you are afraid that others will get in first? Your agent is also Lu Yanhe’s agent?”
Tu Song: “Ah… I forgot.”
Chen Ziyan: "Don't say this in front of Lu Yanhe. He is already tired enough from filming movies. Don't add to his worries."
"I went to sing for him, why did he become Does it increase your worries?" Tu Song was dissatisfied, "Sister Ziyan, you are so partial."
"You have an idea." Chen Ziyan glanced at him. " Would it bother you if Lu Yanhe insisted on asking you for a MV shooting opportunity when you were making an album? "
Tu Song was shocked, "If Lu Yanhe is willing to shoot the MV for me, why should I? If you want to be annoyed, there is something wrong with me.”
Chen Ziyan: “…What if it was Lu Yanhe before his senior year in high school?”
Tu Song was stunned.
His expression changed.
"I..."
