Chapter 76 Sweet!
A few days later, after Wu Yuan packed up his dormitory, he called to order a car of big watermelons and drove straight to Huairou Film and Television Base.
Summer and watermelons are undoubtedly the best match.
Along the way, Wu Yuan was thinking happily that he had made Chen Kun proud this time.
Berlin Best Director, Oscar Best Screenplay Award winner, personally came to visit Chen Kun, how big of a face must he have to be treated like this?
In fact, he came here specifically to support Chen Kun.
As a good friend, Wu Yuan knew very well that although Chen Kun was handsome and had good acting skills, he was actually quite inferior.
Because of his original family, Chen Kun had an unhappy childhood, and he had always been in a state of living without anyone to take care of him, living a dirty and sloppy life every day.
This caused Chen Kun to be somewhat introverted and inferior in his youth, and he envied and even envied those children with happy families.
Why did Wu Yuan have a good relationship with him?
Part of the reason is that Wu Yuan also lost his parents at a young age, and later his only relative, his grandfather, also passed away. His family situation was even worse than Chen Kun's, which made Chen Kun feel that this little brother and he shared the same fate and had to support each other, so the relationship became better and better.
"The Story of a Noble Family" is Chen Kun's first TV series in which he is the absolute male lead, and it is a CCTV drama!
Chen Kun attaches great importance to the filming of this TV series, fearing that he will not complete it perfectly and drag down the drama.
So Wu Yuan wanted to come and cheer him up, or even give him some encouragement.
However, when Wu Yuan came to the Huairou Film and Television Base with a truckload of watermelons and drove into the set of "The Story of a Noble Family", he found that the atmosphere on the set was very wrong.
From the director to the crew, all had gloomy faces.
Xiao Liu, Chen Kun's assistant who received the notice in advance, saw Wu Yuan who came to visit the set at a glance, and ran over to greet him.
"What's going on?" Wu Yuan, who got off the car, grabbed Xiao Liu's arm and asked in confusion.
With a pout, Xiao Liu motioned Wu Yuan to look at the center of the set.
Wu Yuan followed his movements and saw Chen Kun standing in the middle of the set with his hands on his hips, with his back to him, shouting at a little girl.
"Can we shoot?"
"You can't recite the lines well, and you can't move. Not only can you not finish your part, but you also delay the progress of other actors in the same group!"
"If you can't shoot, then get out as soon as possible. There are hundreds of people in the crew, and no one has the time to accommodate you all the time!"
"I really don't know what Producer You likes about you, and he insisted on letting you play Bai Xiuzhu!"
Chen Kun, wearing a white suit, was staring at Liu Yifei standing in front of him and cursing.
The little girl, who will turn 15 next month, has been pampered since she was a child. How could she be scolded like this?
Liu Yifei lowered her head and said nothing, aggrieved but stubborn, not wanting to cry out.
But the tears were not very obedient, and they still fell to the ground like pearls that had broken off the string.
She really had never learned to act. Although she was admitted to the Film Academy, she had not even started the first semester of classes.
Since she joined the crew, she, a newcomer with almost no acting experience, had to be scolded by the director every day, and now Chen Kun, the actor who was acting opposite her, could not bear the scolding.
She knew that the fault was indeed hers, so she did not refute at all, but just lowered her head and endured it silently. It was right to be scolded if she did not do well.
Liu Xiaoli hurriedly stepped forward, pulled her daughter behind her, and said to Chen Kun with an apologetic face: "Teacher Chen is really sorry, Xixi is acting for the first time, and she doesn't understand many things. She is also learning while filming. Give Xixi some time to adapt."
"How can an actor who can't act come out to film a TV series?" Chen Kun sneered.
Chen Kun, who was young and energetic and won the male lead of "The Golden Age" with his accumulated reputation and professional level, really looked down on Liu Yifei, a vase who joined the crew with just a face.
Not far away, Wu Yuan, who witnessed all this, smacked his lips with emotion.
Of course, he recognized that the one being scolded was the future fairy sister, the fairy in the field of TV dramas, and the literary and artistic girl in the field of movies.
It was just that Wu Yuan had never seen Liu Yifei, who was so young.
To be honest, Liu Yifei impressed him more in the classic images of Wang Yuyan, Zhao Linger, and Xiaolongnu, as well as the movies she made later.
He really forgot that this actress' debut work was "The Story of a Noble Family".
After thinking about it, Wu Yuan stepped forward.
In the middle of the set, although Liu Xiaoli stood up to try to smooth things over, the young Chen Kun didn't care and continued to scold Liu Yifei: "If you don't know how to act, learn it. Find a professional teacher to teach you how to act after the show!"
"If you can't even do the basic movements well, how can you act!"
"If you can't learn it, just don't shoot it. It's just a waste of time!"
Liu Yifei still lowered her head and sobbed silently, nodding continuously, looking obedient.
"Okay." A voice interrupted Chen Kun's scolding.
Wu Yuan walked into the set, patted Chen Kun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I just came to visit the set, and you did this, which made me very embarrassed."
"The little girl can't act, just scold her a few words, there is no need to hold on to her."
"A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl is ten years younger than you. It's normal for her to not know how to act. Everyone learns slowly from not understanding to understanding."
"Okay, I brought a cart of watermelons for your crew. Let's go. I think you need to eat more watermelons to cool down."
Chen Kun glanced at Wu Yuan and sighed: "You are here."
Liu Yifei also raised her head in a daze and met Wu Yuan's clear and bright eyes.
"Director Wu.?!"
Wu Yuan nodded with a smile, gave her a bright smile back, and put his arm around Chen Kun's shoulders: "Come and visit my buddy."
"Kun'er's personality is like this. He always says whatever he wants when it comes to work. He scolds you for the good of the crew. I hope you can understand."
After saying that, Wu Yuan ignored the girl's reaction, turned his head to look at her mother, and said in a serious tone: "Although I don't know how she got into the crew."
"But girls of this age should study hard in school, not filming in the crew."
"What should be done at what age, I think you know better than me."
"My mentor once said to me that if you want to build a building, the most important thing is to lay a good foundation."
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
"If you don't study acting knowledge first, and you want to be famous in a hurry, you will never be an excellent actor in this life."
"That's all I have to say. I hope Auntie will seriously consider it."
The reason why Wu Yuan said this to Liu's mother was mainly because the director felt sorry for the actor.
Is Liu Yifei successful as an actor?
If we look at her fame, she is undoubtedly very successful.
But in terms of awards and artistic achievements, she is extremely unsuccessful.
One of her failures is her poor vision in selecting films, and her poor acting skills are another problem.
These two problems can actually be improved through learning.
If Liu Yifei had put more energy into her studies during college, perhaps her acting skills could have been improved, and her vision in selecting films would have been better, then everything would have been different.
As a director, Wu Yuan naturally hopes that more outstanding actors can appear in the Chinese film industry.
At least Liu Yifei is still very hardworking, and is a hardworking actor that directors like more, but she often doesn't work hard in the right direction.
So Wu Yuan is willing to kindly remind the other party's mother without affecting himself.
As for whether to listen or not, that is not something he can control.
At this time, the other people on the set also recognized Wu Yuan.
Director Li Dawei, the producer, the assistant director and others all swarmed up to surround Wu Yuan, and greeted him with smiles and compliments.
Wu Yuan also took Chen Kun and the main creators of the crew to the shade nearby to share the large watermelons he brought specially.
Liu Yifei stared at Wu Yuan's back as he walked away, biting her red lips with her silver teeth, and stretched out her hand to pull her mother's arm: "Mom, let's hire an acting teacher to follow the group."
"I can practice extra after work every day."
Liu Xiaoli looked at her stubborn daughter, and although she felt distressed, she still nodded: "Okay."
The atmosphere of the crew soon began to change.
Berlin's best director invited everyone to eat watermelon, what a face-saving thing!
The crew's production staff quickly moved boxes of watermelons from the truck and quickly cut them into pieces and distributed them to everyone.
Director Li Dawei also waved his hand and said cheerfully: "Thank you Director Wu for the watermelon he sent during his visit. The whole crew will take an hour's break and eat the watermelon first!"
"Hey, this watermelon is really good, with thin skin, red flesh and lots of water!"
Every crew member's face was no longer depressed. Having free watermelon in this hot summer is a happy thing.
However, Wu Yuan, who has always been a careful observer, still found that Liu Yifei and her daughter seemed to be somewhat isolated.
They sat alone in the corner of the studio, and the crew members passing by with watermelons in their hands ignored them.
Seeing this, Wu Yuan sighed and stretched out his hand to signal Xiao Liu to give two watermelons to the mother and daughter.
Wu Yuan didn't care how many troubles there were in the crew of "The Golden Age".
But since he came to visit and send watermelons to everyone, as long as they were in the crew, they should be treated fairly.
Soon, two pieces of thin-skinned and red-fleshed watermelons were delivered to Liu Yifei and her daughter.
The mood of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is just like the weather in June, the mood comes and goes quickly.
Liu Yifei, who got the watermelon, immediately smiled with a little baby fat on her face, took a big bite happily, and showed a satisfied smile.
Liu Xiaoli, who was watching, laughed secretly. She was still sobbing in grievance a moment ago, but she was immediately coaxed by this piece of watermelon. She was too heartless.
She touched Liu Yifei's head and asked in a doting way: "How is it, is the watermelon sweet?"
Liu Yifei looked at Wu Yuan who was surrounded by the crew, and then looked at the watermelon in her hand, and nodded with a smile.
"Sweet!"
