On the fourth day after Lu Yanhe joined the cast, he finally felt a little bit more connected to the role of the brother he played.
It's not that he didn't act on his behalf when he was acting before. But as an actor, it takes time and a familiar process for him to truly enter a role and become one with the role.
For this play and this role, Lu Yanhe actually didn't make much preparation in advance.
On the one hand, of course, it was because he was very busy some time ago and he didn't have much time to prepare. On the other hand, it is also because this role is actually not that difficult and complicated, and does not require him to make any preparations in advance.
Such a character does not actually have much depth and complexity. With Lu Yanhe's current performance ability, if you prepare too much, you will lose the explosive power of the character itself.
There is a very delicate balance between advance design and on-site performance.
In fact, good actors tend to rely more on their performance when they fully empathize with the characters at that moment on set. That cannot be planned in advance - of course, this does not mean that actors do not need to do their homework in advance. Instead, do all the homework that needs to be done, and then forget about it and leave it to your sensibility and intuition.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Lu Yanhe felt like he was himself, referring to the environment on this set and this group of actors.
He began to develop a sense of familiarity with the world in front of the camera, with this group of people.
After Huang Feng became familiar with him, he began to spread his mischief to him.
Basically, as long as he is not filming, Huang Feng will not be idle on the set. He can talk loudly, jump up and down like a monkey, and even pull people to play various small games with him.
This kind of thing never happened to Lu Yanhe before, but now he probably felt that he was familiar with Lu Yanhe, so Huang Feng started to pester him.
Huang Feng didn't know where he learned about a game Lu Yanhe played when he was a child.
One person puts the palms of his hands on the other person's palms, and the hands on the bottom should be turned over and hit the back of the hands on top.
In fact, it depends on whose response is faster.
Huang Feng prides himself on being a master of this game and is invincible in beating the entire crew.
Lu Yanhe was so targeted by him.
Lu Yanhe nodded and agreed immediately.
As a result, Huang Feng could never hit the back of Lu Yanhe's hand, but Lu Yanhe could always hit the back of Huang Feng's hand.
After coming down for more than ten times in a row, Huang Feng was so angry that his eyes were red and watery, and he almost shed tears.
Lu Yanhe laughed and deliberately taunted: "Isn't it right? Are you crying now?"
Huang Feng screamed in anger.
His mother heard the noise and came over quickly. When she saw her son screaming angrily at Lu Yanhe, her face immediately changed and she wanted to step forward and take Huang Feng away.
Lu Yanhe noticed Huang Feng's mother coming over and immediately winked to indicate that it was okay.
Huang Feng's mother felt relieved.
She was really worried that her naughty son would offend Lu Yanhe.
Huang Feng left angrily.
Lu Yanhe didn't bother to coax him.
While filming, Huang Tianlin was so happy that he slapped his thigh. In the camera, Huang Feng looked at Lu Yanhe with a childlike look of hatred. He didn't even have to act. His emotions were ready to come out, and it was very touching to be captured by the camera.
At lunchtime, Wang Biao came over with lunch and whispered to Lu Yanhe: "That boy Huang Feng must have been frightened by you. Just now he had to drag people to play the game of hitting the back of the hand, and others just let him continue to look for him. If you say that they can't beat him, he has to challenge himself and try his best to beat you. Huang Feng won't answer anything and refuses to come to you."
Lu Yanhe: "Children are like this, and I was like this when I was a child."
Wang Biao: "I was like this when I was a child! But, Brother Lu, were you like this when you were a child? It's hard to imagine. I feel like you should have been an obedient and self-disciplined child since you were a child."
"How could that happen?" Lu Yanhe smiled, "Huang Feng is quite interesting. This kid, you see, he has such a bad temper and can't calm down at ordinary times. He seems to have an insensitive character, but when he acts, his emotions are very accurate. , in the play, especially the night before yesterday with In the scene I acted, he wanted to reconcile with me and climb into my bed. He slowly moved closer to me like a small animal, nuzzling him bit by bit. Huang Tianlin didn't teach him When you act like this, you are naturally able to empathize with different emotions.”
Wang Biao: "Brother Lu, that's not necessarily true. Huang Feng may not be as noisy as he usually seems."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little confused and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Wang Biao: "He told me that he had no father when he was a child, and his mother and his uncle raised him. If a child who grew up in such an environment is not sensitive at all, I think it is wrong. Impossible. He was often bullied by his classmates when he was a child, just because he didn’t have a father, but he never seemed to show it at the scene.”
Lu Yanhe showed a surprised expression.
The reason why Lu Yanhe was surprised was not because of this incident, but because he really hadn't seen this from Huang Feng at all in the past few days.
Huang Feng gave him the impression that he was a carefree little kid who had been well protected by his family since he was a child. He could also be innocent, lively, and mischievous on the set.
This is not the case.
-
After learning about Huang Feng from Wang Biao, Lu Yanhe suddenly felt a little sympathetic when he saw Huang Feng again.
He immediately realized that his mentality was wrong.
The last thing children need, especially at this age, is sympathy.
Cruelty and indifference will hurt a person's heart, and so will sympathy. Sometimes, the former is a hard knife, and the latter is a soft knife, both of which are bloody and indistinguishable.
Lu Yanhe took the initiative to call Huang Feng.
"Would you like to play the game on the back of your hand?" Lu Yanhe looked at him with a smile.
Huang Feng: "..."
He looked at him warily and asked: "What do you want to do?"
"I want to see if you have made any progress." Lu Yanhe said.
Huang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not making any progress. I won't play with you. You can find someone else to play with."
After saying that, he ran away.
Lu Yanhe: "..."
"This boy is really a thief." Qin Shulan, who played their mother in the film, smiled and sighed, "This is actually his first time acting."
"His acting talent is outstanding." Lu Yanhe said.
Qin Shulan nodded, "Yes, if he were in China, or in Europe and the United States, he might have become a child star if he had such a talent."
Qin Shulan's tone was filled with regret.
When Lu Yanhe heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
-
"You want to sign Huang Feng to your company?" Huang Tianlin looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.
"It's not my company. Although I have some shares, strictly speaking, it's my agent's company." Lu Yanhe said, "But it is very powerful in China and it is a good company. Huang Feng is very He has acting talent, but it’s a pity that he doesn’t become an actor. If you are willing, I hope I can take him with me in the future.”
Huang Tianlin looked at Lu Yanhe in shock and didn't speak for a long time.
"I have to discuss this with his mother."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
"But what do you think? He lives in Malaysia, not in China." Huang Tianlin was very confused, "Do you want to take him to China?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's Malaysia or China." Lu Yanhe said, "He is still a child and cannot be a full-time actor. He should go to school. It's just that during winter vacation or summer vacation, if there is a suitable opportunity, he can be a full-time actor." role, he can come to China to film.”
Huang Tianlin actually knew that Lu Yanhe provided Huang Feng with a good opportunity.
"Why are you so interested in him? I thought you didn't like him." Huang Tianlin said, "You didn't seem to take much care of him on the set."
"Care?" Lu Yanhe said, "I feel that he does not lack my care. But I like him, he is very interesting."
Huang Tianlin: "This is a big thing. I have to think about it carefully. Moreover, it depends on his own thoughts and his mother's opinion. Signing to your company and becoming a child star——"
Huang Tianlin's face was full of surprise and concern.
Lu Yanhe understood very well.
He nodded.
"You guys should discuss it first."
-
Chen Ziyan is very supportive of Lu Yanhe's desire to sign Huang Feng.
It had been decided before Shihuo that this company would be the first company in China to open its brokerage services to artists from all over the world.
The first foreign artist signed by Shihuo was Thai actress Caina.
If Huang Feng signed the contract, he would have signed a Malaysian actor.
"By the way, what about the other actors in your play? I heard from Wang Biao that the actress Qin Shulan who plays opposite you also has very good acting skills and is also a very famous actress in Malaysia."
"Yes, but she should already have a brokerage company and agent here." Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Ziyan said: "That's only in Malaysia. We can represent her overseas brokerage business. Several actors in your movie can all speak Chinese. They can come to the country to film without any obstacles. Moreover, they are all Chinese. They are people with the same roots. If we can gather a group of Chinese actors to deepen their exchanges with the country, this will be very consistent with the current direction.”
Lu Yanhe heard this, "Then let me ask her?"
"Don't ask. When you are about to finish filming, I will come over and discuss the matter together." Chen Ziyan said, "I have long thought of signing other agents besides Huang Tianlin Film and Television. As a director, The future is definitely bright.”
Lu Yanhe: "Don't Mr. Yuan have any objections?"
"The relationship between his company and Huang Tianlin is itself a cooperative relationship in film and television production and does not involve anything else." Chen Ziyan said, "I have inquired about it when I talked to him before."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.
"Yuan Hai also has an idea. He wants to bring his production company to China to see if there are any opportunities for project cooperation. The Malaysian market is still too small. Although international streaming media is hot, they can hardly grab any cooperation opportunities. In the Asian market, the production business is basically divided between South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and India. Several Chinese-language dramas are now released on streaming media in the form of copyright cooperation every year. The market for Chinese-language film and television dramas is basically divided. Our side is occupied.”
Lu Yanhe said: "I know this. He took the initiative to find Siqi and wanted to cooperate with Jump Up Theater."
"He moves quickly enough." Chen Ziyan smiled, "He is very motivated and has great ideas. If it weren't for the small market in Malaysia, his production company would definitely be more than what it is now."
"I don't know how Siqi's visit to his company went," Lu Yanhe said.
-
Chen Siqi visited Yuan Hai's company in the afternoon, met with several producers in his company, chatted, and had dinner together, which made him think a lot.
She returned to the hotel and called Lu Yanhe.
"Have you called it a day?"
"There is no drama for me tonight." Lu Yanhe said, "I just got in the car and I am going to find a restaurant nearby with Brother Dong, Wang Biao and the others to eat local food. Producer Yuan Hai, what do you think? Cooperate? ”
"Yes," Chen Siqi said, "I have watched what they have shot in the past few years and chatted with them for a long time. They still have the production foundation and ability. Their shortcoming is that they have no experience in doing large projects. What they have done in the past The projects are all based on life and emotion. Mainly, to put it simply, they have rich experience and good skills in making plays with small themes and scenes, but if they want to do large-scale productions and projects, they may not have the ability yet. However, this is not the same as our jump theater. The needs are quite consistent.”
"That's good."
"Yes." Chen Siqi said, "This afternoon, Northern Lights Video also sent a message. After Jump Up Theater went online, six dramas have been launched, and a total of more than 7 million new members have been attracted to them. ”
Lu Yanhe was pleasantly surprised, "This data is very beautiful."
"Yes, I just don't know if this data can be stable."
To put it simply, the number of new members of the video platform is how many people have signed up for membership while watching the show. Monthly, quarterly, and annual memberships are all counted.
At present, the proportion of annual members to members of domestic video websites is still relatively small, and they are mainly monthly members. If there are dramas or variety shows that you want to watch this month, you need to be a member to watch them, so you can only open them, and you will not continue to top up after watching them.
Therefore, there is data that the number of new members attracted by Jump Theater's six plays exceeds 7 million. It’s not that they have never watched dramas on Northern Lights Video before, nor have they recharged their membership on Northern Lights.
For video websites, the commercial value of a drama is mainly reflected in several aspects:
1. Recruit new members.
2. Patch advertising.
3. Play volume.
Jump Up Theater actually does not do very well in the latter two aspects, but relative to its cost, the results are excellent. But in terms of attracting new members, it was able to reach a breakthrough of 7 million visitors in just over a month, which is comparable to the results of popular TV series——
But Northern Lights Video’s purchase price for these six dramas is much lower than the purchase price for one popular drama.
If it is a major drama starring an A-list star and rated A or above, the average episode price can generally reach more than 6 million yuan. This is just a general price. The drama itself has a certain degree of popularity, or the main creators are currently popular. Under certain circumstances, this number can fluctuate much higher.
As for Jump Up Theater's dramas, each one only lasts two to three episodes, and because it is the first broadcast on Yuehu TV, there is a window period for exclusive broadcasts. Northern Lights Video is only an online exclusive broadcast platform. Directors like "The Adventures of a Girl", For brand-new actors, the average purchase price is less than 1 million. And a drama like "The Intern" starring a popular actor like Yan Liang only has an average episode of 5 million.
In short, the benefits brought by Jump Theater to Northern Lights Video are far higher than the costs.
Of course, this is also a good sign for jump theater. With the popularity of the first six dramas and the jump theater dramas that will follow, the purchase price is bound to rise.
"When will you go back?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Siqi: "I will fly back to China tomorrow morning. How about you? How many more days will you be filming here?"
"I don't know yet. Huang Tianlin knew that I was not in a hurry to leave after the seven days stipulated in the agreement. He shot very slowly every day and picked out the details very hard." Lu Yanhe was a little helpless, "Maybe we need to shoot for a few more days. , It’s up to him, as long as he doesn’t delay me for ten days and a half, it’s fine. After all, the promotion of “Love Letter” will begin soon, and the promotion of this movie can be left to you.”
Chen Siqi: "Don't worry, we already have a publicity idea. Your directorial debut won another award at the Netherlands Film Festival. We will only go all out to make this movie seen by everyone."
Lu Yanhe: "Then don't work too hard. Whether the box office is good or not, the movie has already made a profit through overseas copyright sales, and there is no pressure for domestic release. Don't work overtime on this matter."
"Work is work. Since we have accepted the order and want to promote "Love Letter", we have to do it to the extreme." Chen Siqi said bluntly, "Otherwise, other people's dramas will be popular for us, but your drama will be quite satisfactory for us." , there is no such truth.”
Last time, Chen Siqi's team used fan fiction promotion as an opportunity to open up the topic of "Top of the Mountain", bringing this well-received drama back to life and shocking the entire industry.
After that, Chen Siqi's team took over the promotion of several dramas and achieved some outstanding results. They charge high prices, and there are not many real cooperation projects - not that many projects are enough to cover the publicity expenses.
It was also because of "Love Letter"'s performance at the Hollywood Film Festival, which received a large bonus, and sold well overseas, that it had enough funds to pay Chen Siqi's team an eight-figure promotional fee.
Otherwise, according to Linghe's current financial pressure of operating Jump Theater and preparing for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" at the same time, either Lu Yanhe will pay for it out of his own pocket, or Chen Siqi's team will provide friendly services. Otherwise, he will definitely not be able to pay for the promotional services of Chen Siqi's team normally.
For Lu Yanhe, of course he hopes that these things at work should be done as they should be, and accounts should be settled clearly between friends, let alone between lovers.
Anyone who reaches the end will no longer be alone.
The publicity work of "Love Letter" was not done by Chen Siqi alone. If Chen Siqi provides friendly services to Lu Yanhe and she doesn't charge for it, what about the people on her team? People invest money, time and energy, but they don’t get project bonuses. What do they want? Do Chen Siqi and Lu Yanhe have a good impression of them?
This is why the more things involve multiple people, the more important it is to have a clear account.
Because it is no longer a matter between the two of them.
-
In "Tropical Rainy Season", Lu Yanhe has two very important lines.
A line is the line between him and his family.
The other line is his relationship with a woman.
Of course, he won't be filming this scene naked, that's not the point of the movie. The plot is that when his relationship with his family was getting worse, a beautiful woman whose husband died moved upstairs, and he was attracted to her.
As a result, their relationship was broken by his younger brother. This incident caused an uproar. This incident also became a climax point in the entire movie, as scandal entered the family. He and his mother had a heated argument, and his brother burst into tears. The next day, he left the house.
The film doesn't end with him, but his character ends there and disappears from the film.
For this movie, he is a symbol of the growth of the younger brother, a very important symbol.
His departure was an important change in his brother's life.
Having acted in so many dramas, including "Golden Age" and "Phoenix Terrace", Lu Yanhe has a very protagonist's perspective in every drama he plays, as long as he appears in it. Only in "Tropical Rain", he is a real supporting character. The story and rhythm do not actually revolve around him, but focus on his younger brother. This actually gave Lu Yanhe a very different perspective as an actor. Including the design of the scenes between himself and the widow, if it were in the past, he would not care at all whether he was a supporting role, and would definitely play every scene as the protagonist. But in this movie, Lu Yanhe himself realized that every time he appeared, he couldn't be too "dense and colorful", and he couldn't overwhelm the main role and disrupt the overall rhythm of the movie.
Therefore, Lu Yanhe made two distinctions for himself. In the scenes at home, with his mother and brother, his emotional color and character arc are very strong and eye-catching, and will never be suppressed - his functionality in this family scene is also reflected here.
However, in another character line, that is, his emotional line, he made the existence of his character less prominent, and he tried his best to use an "escape attitude" to highlight the "difficulty of escaping". "The bond.
For example, when he met that woman for the first time, Lu Yanhe made a plan for himself. On the one hand, he was attracted by her and took the initiative to help. On the other hand, he was always paying attention to the situation downstairs - he was paying attention to him. There was no commotion at home, and I was afraid that my mother and brother would discover my attentive behavior.
The actress who plays the opposite role is named Han Yujiang. She is a Chinese who grew up in Malaysia. She has not acted in many film and television dramas. She used to be a local stage actor and a friend of Huang Tianlin, so he invited him to star in this drama.
She is very beautiful.
The first scene where Han Yujiang and Lu Yanhe played opposite each other was when she moved and Lu Yanhe came to help.
After she finished the performance, she felt a little strange and asked: "Yan He, why do I feel that you are always a little absent-minded during the performance?"
Even Han Yujiang could see it, let alone Huang Tianlin.
Huang Tianlin asked Lu Yanhe angrily why he acted like this.
Lu Yanhe explained his understanding of this scene.
Huang Tianlin said directly: "When a man is attracted by a woman, he will not have other things in his mind, and he will not be absent-minded."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Han Yujiang also said: "I thought it was because I wasn't attractive enough to you."
If Lu Yanhe is a tool-type character in this movie, then Han Yujiang is not even a tool-type character, but a pure tool.
Lu Yanhe thought carefully. Could it be that he had gone astray?
Lu Yanhe did not insist and said, "Then I will play it again."
But after the performance, Lu Yanhe shook his head.
"No, that's not right." He told Huang Tianlin, "This is not somewhere else, this is upstairs in my house. My house is under the floor. My mother and my brother are there. This kind of spatial positional relationship , you said that I am completely attracted to her and will not be distracted? I think it is unrealistic.”
Huang Tianlin said: "If you cared about this, you wouldn't come to help at all."
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "But I am a man, and a vigorous man. I saw a woman who made my heart beat. She attracted my attention as soon as she appeared. It is impossible for me to be indifferent, but this is a kind of contradiction. , I should have this kind of contradiction.”
He turned to look at Han Yujiang: "Think about it for a second. If your family is downstairs, and you secretly come upstairs to meet a man who makes your heart beat, can you do it without being distracted?"
Han Yujiang hesitated for a moment, "More or less, I will be a little concerned in my heart."
Lu Yanhe nodded and looked at Huang Tianlin.
Huang Tianlin took a deep breath.
Lu Yanhe: "Of course, I know you want to capture in this scene the feeling of me falling for her and falling in love with her. I can perform it. Director, you believe me, let's try it a few more times, let's find it." A performance method that both you and I can agree on, okay?”
After working with Huang Tianlin for a few days, Lu Yanhe finally figured out Huang Tianlin's style.
This person is a director with a very high self-esteem.
He must need others to respect him, trust him, and not challenge his authority.
Although Lu Yanhe couldn't listen to him 100%, nor did he want to do so, within the rules, he was willing to give Huang Tianlin, as the director, such a sense of authority on the set.
He has taken a step back.
Huang Tianlin took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "Then give it a try."
-
However, when Lu Yanhe gradually got better and found a character state that both himself and Huang Tianlin could accept, Han Yujiang collapsed a little.
The reason why she collapsed was because she realized that she couldn't catch Lu Yanhe's scene at all.
When she got the script, she felt that she could play this role with ease, and she didn't need any superb acting skills. She just needed to be beautiful, seductive, and sexy between maturity and innocence.
This is a characteristic of herself.
But she found that when she stood with Lu Yanhe, every shot, the details of Lu Yanhe's body, the eyes and expressions looking at her, would change slightly, gradually turning into a real seventeen or eighteen-year-old, A young man who has just fallen in love with a woman at first sight.
And the occasional distraction and trance that appeared in his expression gave him a sense of unpredictable story, making her subconsciously forget that she was acting and wanted to explore his past life.
When she came to her senses, she felt inexplicably superficial in Lu Yanhe's eyes.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she felt her acting skills were superficial or that the character she played was superficial.
This suddenly caused her self-confidence to collapse.
I can't continue acting.
-
Huang Tianlin was the first to discover Han Yujiang's problem.
He glanced at Lu Yanhe speechlessly and pulled Han Yujiang aside.
"Xiao Jiang, don't let him lead you away."
Han Yujiang looked very pale and was greatly shocked. He said, "Director, I feel like I have facial paralysis."
Huang Tianlin: "Don't think like that, you have already performed very well."
Han Yujiang asked in disbelief: "Is it true?"
"Really." Huang Tianlin said, "You can't think of comparing yourself with Lu Yanhe. How many actors of the younger generation can play him better? You have to look at yourself and your role. You are already very good. Complete the feeling of your character.”
Lu Yanhe, who was about to come over and ask what was wrong, was stunned when he suddenly heard Huang Tianlin's words.
ha?
——How many actors of the younger generation can play him better?
So it turned out that Huang Tianlin could also hear words of praise for him?
Lu Yanhe smiled, stopped, and didn't go any further.
At this time, let Huang Tianlin do Han Yujiang's work.
Lu Yanhe went to his rest chair and sat down.
Wang Biao gave him the phone.
"Did anyone call?"
"No." Wang Biao shook his head.
Lu Yanhe turned on his phone and replied some messages.
One of the messages was from Zhou Mukai, who asked him if he could take a day out next month. Xiao Jing, who went to England for exchange, was coming back next month.
Before Xiao Jing went abroad, they had said together that when he came back, they would take care of him together.
Lu Yanhe said: I returned to China after filming "Tropical Rainy Season". If I can find time, I will start promoting the movie "Love Letter" I directed next month. There will be some early screenings. I plan to go back to Zhenhua to hold one. During the screening, why don't you come together and help me stand on stage?
Except for Lu Yanhe, Mao Jiayang and Zhou Mukai all chose to go to graduate school. After Xiao Jing returned to China and extended his graduation by one year, he would most likely choose to go to graduate school and stay in Yuming.
Since Lu Yanhe graduated, his contact with them has become less and less. It’s not that we are estranged, it’s just that we used to see each other from time to time, but now it’s difficult to even meet. In addition, Lu Yanhe is now extremely busy with work. The person Lu Yanhe sees the most is Zhou Mukai. This is because Zhou Mukai is a part-time editor of "Jump Up" magazine. Lu Yanhe sometimes bumps into him when he goes to the "Jump Up" editorial department.
Zhou Mukai said: Okay, can you ask them both in the group later?
Lu Yanhe: OK.
-
I don’t know what Huang Tianlin told Han Yujiang. Half an hour later, they continued filming, and Han Yujiang’s condition was much better.
Then, Lu Yanhe discovered that Huang Tianlin was different from what the two of them said——
Huang Tianlin will tell him that the following shot was taken of him and asked Han Yujiang to act with him, but Han Yujiang's performance will not be photographed.
In fact, there was a camera secretly filming Han Yujiang. It's just that Han Yujiang didn't know that a camera was filming her. Instead, she relaxed and showed her body very naturally, releasing the beauty of a female body curve in front of the camera, without any artificiality, and with a natural allure.
Huang Tianlin is using this method to capture Han Yujiang's best state.
Lu Yanhe saw through it without saying anything.
In the evening, Lu Yanhe had to film with Qin Shulan and Huang Feng again.
In these scenes, he basically became a backdrop.
Many times, after a scene, he only has one or two lines, mainly to provide them with scenes.
At this time, if you want to win, you actually have no chance to win.
Your acting skills are as good as heaven, and you are just a background that the light does not hit on you.
Lu Yanhe has acted in so many scenes, and this is his first acting experience.
He has never acted in a scene where he served as a background for so many times.
He has played supporting roles three times, in "Golden Age", "Phoenix Terrace" and "Three Mountains". In the dramas he appeared in, he was always the protagonist of that line.
Comparing it with his previous performance experience, Lu Yanhe was quite emotional and thought about a lot of things.
As a result, after he finished his performance, everyone in the crew looked at him with admiration.
He was still confused, but Wang Biao clarified his doubts.
"Everyone admires you. Even if you only have one or two lines, you are always performing. In your state, you never stop. You are responsive every moment." Wang Biao said, "Even the photographer They specially captured some close-up shots of your reactions. The director did not ask for them. They took them themselves. They thought your reactions were great in a few shots and praised you for your professionalism.”
Lu Yanhe did not expect that this could also be a reason for praise.
Professionalism... has also become a reason for an actor to be praised.
-
Huang Tianlin was sitting in the editing room, looking at some material that had been shot.
This is what he does after finishing work every day, making sure that the material he shoots every day is OK and there are no problems.
Many times, problems are not discovered until the footage reaches the editing desk.
But often it is too late when discovered at this time. Unless it is retaken, it can only be adjusted through technical means——
Once adjusted, the quality will be compromised.
Therefore, Huang Tianlin hopes that if there is a problem, he can find it as soon as possible, so that he can arrange reshoots later while the crew and actors are all around.
Of course, given the fact that he shoots so many takes for each scene, he can always find usable shots if he doesn't pursue long shots without cuts.
Yuan Hai knocked on the door and came in with coffee.
"Don't you go to bed early? It's already eleven o'clock. If you don't go to bed, you're still here."
Huang Tianlin said: "We can't keep dragging Lu Yanhe around and asking him to stay on the set. I will review all the films I have made so that I don't have to go back and beg him to come back for reshoots."
Yuan Hai was too familiar with Huang Tianlin.
As soon as he heard Huang Tianlin's tone, Yuan Hai knew that Huang Tianlin's attitude towards Lu Yanhe had changed.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied with Lu Yanhe's shots?"
Huang Tianlin said nothing and only looked at the screen.
After a few seconds, he said: "It's okay."
Yuan Hai: "Do you know what the crew are saying?"
"What did you say?"
"They are talking about whether this movie has the potential to compete in top film festivals." Yuan Hai laughed, "They are still thinking about whether this movie can win a grand prize, so almost everyone came up with their best film." I can work in a good state without having to keep an eye on them.”
Huang Tianlin curled his lips.
Yuan Hai said: "Today I also talked with the film selector at the Venice International Film Festival about the situation of our film. He wanted to see the clips we had already shot, so I called him the clip you edited before. Sent to him.”
"What did he say?"
"He is very interested and wants to see the film or a rough cut."
Film festival selectors often do not wait until the film is completed before issuing invitations to a film.
Many times, attention starts right from the filming stage.
Especially films starring popular actors like Lu Yanhe, or young directors like Huang Tianlin who have gained a good reputation in the international film industry with their debut films, are all being focused on.
Huang Tianlin said: "There is no need for Lu Yanhe to act in this movie."
"Huh?" Yuan Hai asked, "It's already this time, why are you still saying this?"
"No, I mean, it's a bit of a waste for him to play this role." Huang Tianlin sighed, "Basically, as long as there are scenes of him, they are amazing. He is so good at acting. Even if he has no lines, only one scene is missing. The face in focus makes it difficult for people to ignore his presence. ”
Yuan Hai: "How do you think he achieved such high achievements at such a young age?"
Huang Tianlin pursed his lips.
"Actually, I talked to him. Putting aside the various reasons he said before, why is he willing to play such a supporting role." Yuan Hai said, "He is a person who really loves the film industry. He said that if His participation can help a good movie get more attention, and a supporting role can also be used. He doesn't care about protagonists and supporting roles. I was worried that your attitude would anger him at first, but he was not irritated at all. , he has been tolerating you.”
Huang Tianlin's face was expressionless.
The light from the screen reflected on his face, making him look a little cold.
"And he tolerates you because he feels that your creative talent is worthy of his help." Yuan Hai looked at Huang Tianlin with the same tolerance, "Don't worry that he will take away your glory as a director. When you see him Looking at the situation on the set these days, he really appreciates you, so don’t be too stingy. You are a director who will represent Malaysian films in the future, be more generous.”
Yuan Hai patted Huang Tianlin on the shoulder to encourage him.
Huang Tianlin was silent for a long time and asked: "Brother Yuan, tell me, if I ask him to act in my other script, will he agree to act in it?"
Yuan Hai was stunned.
"You mean the script of "Ferris Wheel"?"
"Yes." Huang Tianlin said, "After I finished filming "Tropical Rainy Season", I was ready to make this movie."
Yuan Hai said: "But, is there a suitable role for him in "Ferris Wheel"? I remember it is a story about a girl, right?"
"If he is willing to act, I am willing to revise this script according to him." Huang Tianlin said, "Change the current heroine's boyfriend as the protagonist and rewrite the script."
Yuan Hai: "I don't know if he will agree to act. You can communicate with him."
Huang Tianlin nodded.
Yuan Hai looked at Huang Tianlin with a complicated expression and said, "I thought you would wait until at least the film festival before you would relent and correct your attitude towards him."
Huang Tianlin whispered: "I'm not blind."
