Compared with the chaos and complexity outside of filming, the filming set of "Silent Stairs" can actually be described as very smooth.
Extremely smooth refers not only to the degree of cooperation between various technical departments, but also to the performances of the actors. Almost no low-level problems such as jams and distractions were encountered. In every scene, everyone They all performed with a sense of ease and enjoyment.
Lu Yanhe also had to lament once again that indeed, there are too many good actors in this industry, but too few are famous.
Even among famous actors, a large part of them are not that good in acting, and they have not even reached the passing mark.
Even Zhou Yelu, who made Chen Yu blush before, his acting skills are very solid. For a small character with not many lines, he can handle every scene very steadily. , in the extremely limited exposure of his face, he captured the moment for the audience to see him——
Instead of letting the camera go by, the audience may not even remember that he, the actor, acted in this drama after watching it.
Every actor polishes every line of his words thoroughly.
"What a bunch of good actors." Chen Yu didn't know how many times he had said this.
Lu Yanhe knew that he actually did this on purpose.
The actors in the crew all belong to the type where the more they are encouraged and praised, the better they perform.
Especially Zhang Yuan and Peng Yufen.
It's a pity that both of them have a management company, otherwise Lu Yanhe would have the idea of recommending them to Chen Ziyan and signing them up to make trouble.
Lu Yanhe said to Chen Siqi: "These actors can actually sign long-term contracts with them, just like Yu Ling in "The Intern". They have very good acting skills. Although they have good tempers and personalities outside of acting, It’s difficult, but he is still dedicated on the set.”
Chen Siqi nodded.
“You don’t need to tell me, I think so too. If you star in this drama, it will definitely attract a lot of attention, and they are very likely to become famous, so I have asked them to go there a long time ago. Prepare a contract. Otherwise, after the show is aired, they will probably receive a lot of film offers and their schedule will not be so free.”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"By the way, how is the investment situation of Jump Up Theater in the later period? Can the production funds of each subsequent drama be increased a little? There is no need to control it between two and three million anymore, right?" Lu Yanhe said, "With the current production budget, we can only produce dramas with a relatively simple scene and fewer actors, and dramas with a slightly more complex schedule and more scenes. This I can’t afford all the production funds.”
Chen Siqi: “The investment situation is not bad. The ratings and viewing situation in the first month are quite satisfactory to advertisers, but are they satisfied with the subsequent ones? We are still discussing the increase in the production budget of the project. We can afford to pay for the current cost, but if the production cost increases later, it will be bad if the broadcast situation is not so ideal. I still hope to maintain such a low-cost model, with little pressure on all aspects, and such a small project is also convenient for training our newly formed production team."
Lu Yanhe: " Okay.”
“If we encounter a movie that requires higher production funds in the future, we will definitely give the green light, just like "The Silent Staircase". You don’t need to give a higher budget to the movie. Do you want to make it into a movie? If that’s the case, why not just make it into a movie?” Chen Siqi said, “I understand your desire to strive for excellence in every work. , but film and television dramas, especially our emerging model, are not suitable for moving so fast. We do not have enough confidence and foundation to optimize and upgrade.”
Lu Yanhe nodded understandingly.
One of the advantages of Jump Up Theater is that the production cost is low, so they can let themselves go and shoot according to their ideas, and that is why they can use so many unknown actors.
Whether it is the two girls in "Girls' Adventures", Yu Ling in "The Intern", or Zhang Yuan and Peng Yufen in "Silent Stairs", they are usually not actors who can play the main roles. .
Once the production budget of a drama increases, Yuehutai and Northern Lights Video, which are also investors, are willing to choose non-famous actors like them to star on the basis of their current broadcast results. ?
Lu Yanhe knows the answer to this question very well.
-
The seven-day shooting period was really short. Lu Yanhe had just gotten acquainted with the actors in the crew a little bit before the day of separation came.
However, after experiencing so many separations between the crew and crew, this feeling of separation has basically become fleeting.
This feeling may be similar to that of being transferred out of a normal job and being assigned to a special class for a week or two to work with someone for a few days. To say that there is no affection between them is impossible. It doesn't matter how deep the feelings are.
In comparison, for an artist, the team members around him are actually like fixed, long-term colleagues.
The nature of their work determines that they are like nomads, living in the entertainment industry.
As the artistic director and starring role of this drama, Lu Yanhe has a large voice, but he has hardly used his voice.
He is very cautious on this point.
He always believes that since he is not the director, the person primarily responsible for the work, and it is not really a matter of principle, even if he has different opinions, it is best to keep his mouth shut and control his hands. Don't express your opinions easily.
The more people have the right to speak, the more cautious they should be and know what impact their opening may have.
After wrapping up, there was actually a wrapping up party the next day.
However, Lu Yanhe was really in a hurry to return to Yuming, because there were still several urgent tasks waiting for him, which must be completed before going to Malaysia to film "Tropical Rainy Season".
So, Lu Yanhe had to rush back overnight when the filming was finalized.
Lu Yanhe took advantage of Wang Biao's time to help him pack his luggage, and took the gifts they had prepared early in the morning to say goodbye to the crew one by one.
From the director to the screenwriters, the heads of various departments, and the cooperating actors.
"I'm very sorry. Because I still have work, I won't be able to attend the closing banquet with everyone tomorrow. I look forward to when this drama is broadcast."
This is a habit that Lu Yanhe has developed now.
Before you leave, say a good goodbye.
Because no one knows when the next meeting will be.
But if the memories are good when we are apart, then we will definitely be more familiar when we meet again.
Lu Yanhe had to rush back overnight, but Chen Siqi had to stay and deal with the aftermath of Director An Jian's incident.
So, Lu Yanhe went to find her in the end.
"When will you come back?" "I will go see An Jian tomorrow to see what's going on." Chen Siqi said, "Although I don't know what kind of reason he will give me, but, yes I imagine he would deny it."
"We have no evidence either."
"Yes, there is no evidence." Chen Siqi said, "Unless he admits it personally, we can't prove that he is the person who sent the anonymous letter."
"Actually, we don't need to get to the bottom of it. If something like this happens, no matter what, we will not cooperate with him again until this matter is resolved."
"At least I want to know whether what happened that year is true or not, and it belongs to Xin Pingqing's father. suicide, What's going on?" Chen Siqi said, "Especially since Xin Pingqing is from our company."
Lu Yanhe: "Then...are you going to have a showdown with him?"
" I don’t know, now I haven't thought about it yet." Chen Siqi shook his head, "Let's see what he says first. Since he told Liu Yuan the news, we will know if he wants to point the finger at Xin Pingqing. ”
"Okay, just try it. Don't force it. Even if it's true, we can't call the police on the grounds of fraud."
"But we can identify a person clearly." Chen Siqi said.
-
Lu Yanhe returned to Yuming.
I arrived at Ziyuan Bridge late at night.
Neither Li Zhibai nor Yan Liang are here, they both have work today.
Arrived at the gate of the community, Zou Dong asked: "Yan He, where will you sleep tonight?"
After he asked, Lu Yanhe realized that he had it all in Ziyuanqiao There are two places to live.
One is between him and Li Zhibai and Yan Liang, and the other is between him and Chen Siqi.
As a result, both rooms were empty tonight.
Lu Yanhe said: "Let's go to Building 17."
His and Chen Siqi's house.
Zou Dong drove the car to the elevator entrance of Building 17 in the basement and sent Lu Yanhe up.
"We will pick you up at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Wang Biao said.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
After sending him in, Wang Biao and Zou Dongcai went downstairs together.
"Brother Dong, don't see me off. I've already called a car. Just drop me off at the gate of the community later."
Zou Dong looked at him with a look in his eyes. Some confusion and confusion.
"It's already so late. We'll be here early tomorrow morning. You should go to bed early."
Hearing this, Zou Dong said, "That's okay."
Wang Biao yawned, "It's running smoothly. Fortunately, after work is over tomorrow, I can sleep in the day after tomorrow."
< br>Zou Dong smiled.
"Are there no other arrangements for the day after tomorrow?"
"No." Wang Biao shook his head, "There is no work arrangement, are you okay?"
"I want to go see my son. I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Okay." Wang Biao nodded, "Go ahead, Brother Dong."
"I don't know Yan Do you want to go out the day after tomorrow? ”
"It's okay. I'll accompany him when he goes out." Wang Biao said, "I happened to have met a few candidates for your B position before, so I just happened to pick one from them and give it a try."
Zou East: "Post B?"
"Brother Xiao Lu said that you have always been his personal bodyguard all by yourself. Except for large-scale events, there is no one to take shifts with you. It is too hard. Let me find you a B position. There is nothing like the day after tomorrow. When you are working, just take a break and let someone else do it for you," Wang Biao said.
Zou Dong was stunned for a while and did not come back to his senses.
He followed Lu Yanhe almost every day, but he didn't know that Lu Yanhe still wanted Wang Biao to find him a B post in this matter.
Wang Biao: "Don't worry, Brother Lu said that even if you come to post B, no one can take your place beside him, so don't worry."
Zou Dong nodded.
"Thank you."
"There is no need to be polite between the two of us. Forget about others. Regarding Brother Lu, there are so many people in the whole team, and the only person I trust is you." Wang Biao smiled , "You are the only one who truly trusts and cares for Brother Lu."
Zou Dong glanced at him in surprise.
He didn’t expect Wang Biao to say that.
"Okay, go back and rest quickly." Wang Biao yawned again, "I'm really sleepy to death." (End of this chapter)
