Chapter 78 It’s hard to coax a gift into someone’s heart
“Quick! It’s almost in place, ready to start!”
On the surface Zhou Yutang was communicating with Wen Muye, but in fact he had been paying attention to the situation there.
Knowing keenly that Liu Shishi's mood seemed to have reached a critical point, he decisively ordered to turn on the computer.
“The lens is fine.”
"The radio is no problem."
"The lighting is no problem."
"Clear the scene, be quiet, and prepare for test shooting!"
Wen Muye's eyes flashed behind his lenses The light was bright, Lin Yufen nodded, and the shooting started directly.
The college entrance examination results are released.
But Liu Shishi failed in the exam.
At this time, Liu Shishi seemed to have entered a very subtle emotional state.
Thinking that her future was gloomy, Liu Shishi's heart was filled with confusion and loss. Zhou Yutang was by her side, but seemed far away from her.
All the usual strong shells collapsed instantly.
Fragile, sad, and aggrieved.
All kinds of complex emotions intertwined.
Liu Shishi did not cry immediately, but mist quietly accumulated in his eyes, holding his knees with his hands, sobbing silently.
She also turned her body slightly sideways, not wanting Zhou Yutang to see her embarrassed look.
But her slight sobbing sound was like a sharp knife that had been inserted into Zhou Yutang's heart.
Zhou Yutang's movements and eyes were clearly softening. He looked at the girl with a single ponytail next to him with distress in his eyes.
"I can only study. I can only study."
Liu Shishi's intermittent voice, her emotions were on the verge of collapse, and tears fell down her cheeks like broken pearls: "From junior high school to high school, I only know how to study, but I still failed in the exam."
Zhou Yutang frowned slightly and pursed his lips.
But he didn’t even say a word, he just took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the girl with a single ponytail.
Seeing that the girl with a single ponytail was still crying and her handkerchief was soaked with tears, he took off his clean white T-shirt and handed it over.
Looking sideways and staring at the haggard look of the gentle and beautiful cheeks, Zhou Yutang hesitated again and again and finally said:
"No matter what university you go to, there is something I want to say to you."
br>"Don't tell me now that you like me."
"I like you, you have known it for a long time."
Zhou Yutang looked slightly helpless and lonely, Liu Shishi still Crying: "Then what do you want to say to me?"
say what?
No need to say anything.
The camera zoomed in, and Zhou Yutang’s palm rested on Liu Shishi’s trembling shoulders, and his hands were also trembling slightly.
It seems that he wants to caress the shoulder of the girl with a single ponytail, but he is hesitant and apprehensive, which vividly expresses the hesitant mentality of a young man.
Finally.
The trembling hand still fell gently.
He patted Liu Shishi on the back gently.
What do I want to say?
Maybe I don’t need to say anything, I just don’t want you to feel sad.
“Perfect! So perfect!”
Wen Muye, who was behind the monitor, watched this section over and over again with an extremely excited expression.
Is Zhou Yutang a genius?
Can even Liu Shishi be trained into an acting savant?
Cry! Cry hard!
This is the feeling you want!
…………………………
Aside from filming, Zhou Yutang is also paying attention to information about the domestic film and television industry.
Recently, "Certificate of Nomination" and "Assembly Number" have been crazy on the screen, and Xing Ye's "Yangtze River No. 7" has also begun to issue promotional releases.
There is another major event that will cause a sensation in the film industry in September.
Director Li An once again won the Golden Lion Award in Venice with the film "Lust, Caution".
All in all, this is the second time he has won the Golden Lion trophy. As early as 2005, Li An won it with the movie "Brokeback Mountain" about cowboys in the American West.
The news spread back to China, the industry was excited, and the media was carnival.
Chief Jia won the Golden Lion last year with "The Good Man", and together with Li An this year, he achieved the third consecutive win in Venice among Chinese-American directors.
"Brother Tang, when will "Lust, Caution" be released in China?"
It was dinner time for the crew, Zhang Ruojun was cooking rice and reading the overwhelming headlines, and turned to ask.
"Probably in November."
"We should have finished filming by then?"
Zhang Ruojun's face suddenly showed a look of longing.
“According to this progress, it will almost be completed by the end of September.”
After receiving Zhou Yutang’s answer, Zhang Ruojun perked up and said plausibly: “Yu Tang, Golden Lion Award for Best Film Hey, we must study hard together then.”
"Are you going to study? I don't even want to expose you."
Zhou Yutang glanced at it and said, "You don't think those clips can be preserved after they are released, do you?"
Now "Color" "The Ring" is very popular on the Internet, mainly because of the gossip spread by an insider. It is said that Tang Wei and Liang Chaowei, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, contributed large-scale performances in this movie, which immediately attracted a lot of attention. LSP.
"Then why don't you go?"
"Go, I mainly want to study Director Li's shooting techniques."
"."
……………………
In the following days, the shooting progressed in an orderly manner.
Liu Shishi is truly immersed in the role of Liu Jiayi, and the emotions are well brewed.
Cai Yinong came to visit the class in late September, and an important scene happened to be shot that day.
It’s the most classic part in the rain.
Downstairs in the boys’ dormitory.
Man-made downpour.
Lin Yufen and Wen Muye looked very excited.
At this time, Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi were both fascinated by the drama.
Zhou Yutang won’t mention it.
My chest was rising and falling slightly, and I was stunned with self-righteousness.
He tried hard to control his emotions, but he was still uncontrollably excited.
In order to attract the attention of his sweetheart, he naively held a fighting competition that looked passionate but was actually ridiculous. In order to prove his strength, he fought with others to a bloody head, but was not liked by him. understood by people.
At this time, Liu Shishi was also full of grievances and helplessness.
"Childish!"
"Why do you always deny things that are important to me?"
"Is the thing that is important to you hurting yourself?"
"I'm just naive! That's why I chased you for so long!"
"Then stop chasing you!"
Liu Shishi pursed his lips tightly, and his dark and bright eyes gradually turned red.
The heavy rain was pouring, and Zhou Yutang turned around and left without looking back. Liu Shishi immediately chased him.
The girl with a single ponytail stood in the rain, looking at Zhou Yutang's retreating back, with tears in her eyes, trying hard not to let the tears flow down, and cried out:
"Idiot!"< br>
“Yes, I am an idiot!”
“You idiot!”
“Only an idiot would chase you for so long!”
“You don’t understand anything!”
“I just don’t understand anything! ”
Zhou Yutang walked away alone in the rain, while Liu Shishi stood there, sobbing, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
"Click! Passed!"
Lin Yufen, who was behind the monitor, took off her glasses and wiped her eyes.
Female directors are always a bit emotional, but it can make the experienced Lin Yufen shed tears, which is enough to show that this scene is full of emotions.
On the other side, Wen Muye was also in tears.
This scene is so wonderful, it perfectly explains what youth is and what growth is.
It also reminded him of the girl he met in his adolescence that he regretted missing.
Girls are always more mature than boys of the same age. This is probably the cruelest thing in adolescence.
“Okay, okay!”
Only the performance instructor Zhang Songwen’s eyes were shining, and he even smiled so much that he showed his big white teeth.
It’s not that he has no heart.
But Teacher Zhang, who was in the position of acting director of the crew, was particularly satisfied with the performances of Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi.
In his opinion, this scene should be one of the best scenes in the whole play.
"Hurry, give me a towel."
Assistant Tao Zi was already waiting by the side with a dry towel, and trotted over when the shooting was over.
Zhou Yutang also took the towel handed over by Zhao Liying, and while wiping it, he discussed with Wen Muye and Lin Yufen behind the monitor.
After looking at the shooting results, I determined that there were no problems in every aspect.
The two assistant directors were very satisfied.
Zhou Yutang is also very satisfied.
Liu Shishi's immersive experience style is really effective, and he is truly invested in it. This scene is an emotional explosion, and Zhou Yutang also has a big breakthrough.
“How did you do this?” Cai Yinong, who had watched the whole scene, opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff a goose egg.
The old aunt who has enough food and clothing by herself, all she wants to do all day long is to make the Tang people bigger and stronger, and she doesn’t care about youth.
At this time, Mr. Cai was only shocked by Liu Shishi's acting skills and found it incredible.
She brought Liu Shishi out single-handedly. How many kilograms and taels does Cai Yinong still don’t know?
But as for the scene just now, I really can’t fault it at all. The crying scene in the rain really shocked her.
How to say it?
It feels like it’s not an act
“Xiao Tao, what’s going on?”
Cai Yinong first praised Liu Shishi, and then couldn’t wait to Find Shi Shi’s assistant Xiao Tao.
“I don’t know.”
Xiao Tao was a little confused and shook her head: "It seems to have something to do with Zhou Yutang. A few days ago, Director Zhou had a meeting with Sister Fen, Brother Wen and Teacher Zhang to teach Shi Shi what kind of experience school."
"Zhou Yutang also has this Ability?"
Cai Yinong was amused, and ran over to pull Zhou Yutang and asked: "Shi Shi has made great progress, and the effect is better than taking an acting class. Can you let Hu Ge also learn from the experience school? Aren’t they good friends?”
“.”
Zhou Yutang said speechlessly: “I really can’t help it”
As we all know, Director Zhou only has a way of training actresses.
As an actor, just fend for yourself...
"Then how come Shi Shi's acting skills have improved so quickly?"
Cai Yinong asked persistently.
“Maybe Shi Shi is a hidden acting school.”
"."
Now it was Cai Yinong's turn to be speechless.
She is not blind.
She has paid attention to Liu Shishi's previous dramas and has communicated with the director many times in private.
Several directors said it tactfully.
But the final conclusion is very consistent. Liu Shishi, who has not received any professional training, has unsatisfactory acting skills.
Zhou Yutang was talking nonsense to Cai Yinong, but he knew it well.
The reason why Liu Shishi can enter the role of Liu Jiayi so immersively is also the effect of his deliberate alienation from reality during this period.
The male and female protagonists in the play are in a state of being distant and incomprehensible to each other.
Liu Shishi is very into the show.
But filming was fun for a while, but now that it's finished, I'm a little worried.
“Yu Tang.”
Wen Muye came over and whispered: “This scene is over, why don’t you go and coax Shi Shi?”
He is An honest person, but not an emotional idiot.
Following Zhou Yutang every day, I have long noticed that Liu Shishi and Zhou Yutang are a bit ambiguous.
Just some time ago, when Zhou Yutang was telling her a story, Liu Shishi's eyes were almost wired. Is this possible?
"No dog can be coaxed."
Zhou Yutang said calmly on the surface: "These little girls don't need to be coaxed, just let them adjust themselves."
"Is there such an operation?"
Wen Muye gave a thumbs up in shock, expressing his admiration.
………………………
“Are you there?”
After finishing work, Zhao Liying was a little flattered when she received the news from Zhou Yutang.
The identity gap between the two is really too big.
Zhou Yutang not only became an instant hit, but is now a movie investor + screenwriter + movie leading actor. She sounds like she is the second female lead in the movie, but in fact she is a supporting actress with not many roles.
"Boss Zhou, what's the matter?"
Zhao Liying was a little hesitant about how to reply.
Originally, he was called Director Zhou, but after thinking about it, the deputy directors Wen Muye and Lin Liang sometimes called him Boss Zhou, so they also called him Boss Zhou.
She was not narcissistic enough to think that Zhou Yutang would like her, and she knew that there must be something else going on.
“You are Shi Shi’s friend, just call me Yu Tang.”
There was a message from Zhou Yutang soon to reply: "How is Shi Shi's situation?"
"It's okay."
Zhao Liying glanced at Liu Shishi and understood.
Yes.
Zhou Yutang seemed not to pay much attention to Shi Shi during this period. Shi Shi was very depressed when he came back and his mood was always sensitive.
Now the smart little girl Zhao has come to her senses and knows that Zhou Yutang is helping Liu Shishi to get emotional. After filming, she realizes that she cares about her. What a big pig's hooves.
“Be specific.”
“At the beginning, Shi Shi seemed to be very sad. After he came back, he got a lot better, but compared to usual, he talked a lot less. He thought about it every day. From the lines in the play, I felt like she thought she was Liu Jiayi."
Zhao Liying reported what she observed to Zhou Yutang one by one.
She has a very good relationship with Liu Shishi, but Zhou Yutang is the big boss in this crew, not to mention that he is also concerned about Liu Shishi's condition.
Seeing that the smile on Liu Shishi's pretty little face had disappeared, Zhao Liying sighed quietly: "Boss Zhou Yutang, you are miserable. Shi Shi and I often chat, and I remember she said that she will not lose her temper easily. But when you are angry, it is difficult to coax you, and you are basically in a state of ignoring people."
"That's it."
Zhou Yutang's voice sounded a little helpless: "Then what do you think we should do. ?”
What to do?
I don’t know what to do.
It's not me who made Liu Shishi angry.
Zhao Liying rolled her eyes, but still politely thought of a way for Zhou Yutang: "Boss, I think you should find an opportunity to apologize to Shi Shi, be sincere, it's all for the sake of making a movie, she's sure I will understand you."
"Well, I will give you and Shi Shi a day off tomorrow, and you can take her out for a walk."
Brother, I have no chance to go tomorrow, okay? The studio is also just a side job.
Zhao Liying's mouth twitched slightly, and she asked tentatively: "Boss, what are your plans?"
"You go shopping first, eat hot pot in the evening, and then go to the KTV after the hot pot. I will pay for the whole process. The main thing is to adjust the condition of Shi Shi. You can't be tense all the time. Send me a message when you get to KTV."
"."
…………………………
Since joining the group, there have been shooting plans every day.
Coupled with the fact that Zhou Yutang is a strict tyrant on the set, the filming of this movie was actually quite hard.
Especially the last few scenes where I cried, which consumed a large part of the filming time.
The way Zhou Yutang treated her did make her a little disappointed and sad at first, but when the director said the scene was over, Liu Shishi was relieved.
Finally, I didn’t hold back the crew.
Looking at Zhou Yutang, who had to shave his hair without saying a word because of the need for filming, and ran behind the surveillance mirror to see the results of the shooting without even having time to wipe off his wet body, he suddenly understood everything.
He really put in a lot of effort to make this movie a success.
Not only did he invest a large amount of money, he also went out to build relationships and almost risked everything to be cast as the heroine.
Everyone was very busy during this time on the set, but Zhou Yutang was undoubtedly the busiest one.
Although there were two assistant directors, a director of photography, and an art director to help with the filming, every shot required Zhou Yutang’s personal nod.
So Liu Shishi can understand that he deliberately distanced himself for a period of time in order to help himself get into the drama.
Experientialism, what kind of experientialism is it if you don’t immerse yourself into the characters in the play?
What reason do you have to lose your temper?
Liu Jiayi and Zhou Ziyu, at that time, what they wanted was this kind of feeling of being separated and unable to speak out, but still feeling a little separated.
Forget it, it’s useless to think about this.
The crew is on holiday today, and it is a happy thing to have hot pot with Xiaoying.
Liu Shishi was packing his things.
When girls go out to play, things like headphones, mouthwash, wipes, sunscreen, lipstick and the like are all essential.
Suddenly he paused and put another delicate box into the bag.
Hmph, if you see Zhou Yutang, give him a surprise.
…………………………
Haoledi KTV.
Small box.
Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi rinsed their mouths in the bathroom and chatted about their relaxing day.
I spent the afternoon shopping, bought some trinkets, and contributed 50 yuan to the claw machine. In the end, I caught two cute and ugly bear dolls.
But after being on the set for so long, I still had a lot of fun, especially the Shudu Fragrant Hotpot we had in the evening, which was so delicious.
Both girls, Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying, prefer spicy flavors.
After eating, they arrived at the small KTV box reserved in advance. After singing a few songs, Zhao Liying went out to take a phone call. She didn't come back after more than ten minutes. Liu Shishi wanted to call someone, but Zhao Liying called first. She came over and said that the crew suddenly came to see her for something urgent, so she took a taxi back first.
Liu Shishi felt a little strange, but he didn't ask much. It was normal for filming on the set to reshoot scenes.
She was bored by being alone, so she packed her things and started to leave. When she got to the door, she almost bumped into someone.
Look up.
A lonely and tall figure stood at the door.
Today, Zhou Yutang is wearing a peaked cap, a pair of flat glasses, a large mask on his face, a solid-color high-quality cotton T-shirt with a Möbius ring pattern from the TV series, and simple jeans. Pair it with simple and refreshing Vans canvas shoes.
“Why are you here?”
“I just had a meeting with Sister Xiaoping, and Sister Fen was anxious to ask Xiao Zhao to take a shot. I heard that you are here alone, so I guess you I can't stay here any longer, so I'll take you back."
Zhou Yutang replied without blushing or heartbeat.
“I can go back by myself.”
Liu Shishi deliberately turned his head away from Zhou Yutang, but his heart beat several times unsatisfactorily.
Li Xiaoping from Guangguang came to the crew today. It seemed that Zhou Yutang was going to have a meeting with her to discuss the filming progress, but she actually came to pick him up.
Sure enough.
He cares about himself.
