I'm Not Blind (10,000 Words Updated!)
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 like a monkey, jump up and down, and even pull people to play various small games with him.
This kind of thing would never happen 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 his palms on the palms of another person's hands, and the hands on the bottom should be turned over and hit on 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 not 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 ridiculed: "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 childlike hatred. He didn't even have to act. His emotions were ready to come out, and he was caught by the camera. It was particularly touching.
At lunch time, 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 kid."
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 in the front In the scene I played last night, he wanted to reconcile with me and crawl into my bed. He slowly moved closer to me like a small animal, nuzzling me little by little. Huang Tianlin could He was not taught to act like this, he is 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.
"Do you want 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 kid 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 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 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 he can't be a full-time actor. He should go to school. It's just that during the 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 doesn't lack my care. But I like him, he is very interesting."
Huang Tianlin: "This is a big deal. 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 film can all speak Chinese. They can come to the country to film without any obstacles. Moreover, they are all Chinese. They are people of the same origin. If we can gather a group of Chinese actors to deepen their exchanges with the country, this is also very consistent with the current direction. "
Lu Yanhe heard this and said, "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 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. There are still several Chinese dramas released on streaming media every year in the form of copyright cooperation. The market for Chinese 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."
"The action is fast enough." Chen Ziyan smiled, "He is very motivated and has great ideas. If it weren't for the fact that the Malaysian market itself is too small, 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, talked, and had dinner together, which made her feel more confident.
She returned to the hotel and called Lu Yanhe.
"Have you finished work?"
"I don't have any scenes tonight," Lu Yanhe said. "I just got in the car and was going to find a restaurant nearby with Dong Ge and Wang Biao to eat some local food. What do you think of Yuan Hai's producers? Can we cooperate?"
"Yes," Chen Siqi said. "I watched what they shot in the past few years and talked to them for a long time. They still have the production foundation and ability. Their shortcoming is that they have no experience in doing big projects. The projects they have done in the past are mainly life-related and emotional. In short, they are experienced in doing small-scale and small-scene scenes, and their level is OK, but if they want to do big productions and big projects, Maybe we don't have that capability yet. But this is in line with the needs of our Jump Up Theater."
"That's great."
"Yeah." Chen Siqi said, "This afternoon, Northern Lights Video also sent a message that after the Jump Up Theater went online, six dramas have been launched, and a total of more than 7 million new members have been added to their membership."
Lu Yanhe was pleasantly surprised, "This data is very beautiful."
"Yes, I just don't know if this data can be stabilized."
The number of new members added by the video platform, in simple terms, is how many people opened a membership when watching this drama, including monthly, quarterly, and annual members.
At present, the proportion of annual members in domestic video websites is still relatively small, and the main members are monthly members. If there is a drama or variety show that you want to watch this month, you need a membership to watch it, so you open it once, and don't continue to recharge after watching it.
Therefore, there is a data that the number of new members added by the six dramas of Jump Up Theater exceeds 7 million. It doesn't mean that they never watched dramas on Northern Lights Video before, nor did they recharge their membership on Northern Lights.
For video websites, the commercial value of a drama is mainly reflected in several aspects:
1. New members.
2. In-stream ads.
3. Views.
Jiuqiqi Theater is not very good in the latter two aspects, but its performance is excellent compared to its cost. However, in terms of new members, it has reached a breakthrough of 7 million people in just over a month, which is enough to be comparable to the performance of popular dramas.
But the purchase price of these six dramas by Northern Lights Video is much lower than that of a popular drama.
If it is a big drama led by a first-line star and rated A or above, the average price per episode can generally reach more than 6 million yuan, which is just the general price. If the drama itself has a certain popularity or the main creative staff is popular, this number can fluctuate a lot.
The dramas of the Tuiqiqi Theater have only two to three episodes each, and because it is the first broadcast on Yuehu TV, there is an exclusive broadcast window period. Northern Lights Video is only an online exclusive broadcast platform. For a drama like "The Adventures of a Girl" with a new director and actors, the purchase price is even less than 1 million per episode. And a drama like "The Intern" starring a popular actor like Yan Liang only costs 5 million per episode.
In short, the revenue brought by Jump Up Theater to Northern Lights Video is far greater than the cost.
Of course, this is also a good signal for Jump Up Theater. With the popularity of the first six dramas, the purchase price of the subsequent dramas of Jump Up Theater is bound to rise.
"When will you go back?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Siqi: "I'm going back to China on a flight tomorrow morning. What about you? How many days will you be here shooting?"
"I don't know yet. Huang Tianlin knows that I'm not in a hurry to finish the seven days agreed in the contract, so he shoots very slowly every day and pays great attention to details." Lu Yanhe was a little helpless, "Maybe we have to shoot a few more days. It's up to him. As long as he doesn't delay me for ten days or half a month, it's fine. After all, "Love Letter" will start to promote soon, and the promotion of this movie is in your hands."
Chen Siqi: "Don't worry, we already have a promotion idea. Your directorial debut won another award at the Jose Film Festival. We will only go all out to make this movie To be seen by everyone. "
Lu Yanhe: "Then don't work too hard. It doesn't matter if the box office is good or not. Anyway, the movie has made a profit through overseas copyright sales, and there is no pressure to release it in China. Don't work overtime for this."
"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, we have made other people's dramas popular, but we have done your drama mediocre. How can this be justified?"
Last time, Chen Siqi's team used fan fiction promotion as an opportunity to open up the topic of "Mountain Peak", which brought this cold-received and well-received drama back to life and shocked the entire industry.
After that, Chen Siqi's team took on the promotion of several dramas and made some outstanding achievements. They asked for high prices, and there were not many projects that they really cooperated with - not so many projects were enough to cover the publicity expenses.
"Love Letter" also had enough funds to pay Chen Siqi's team an eight-digit publicity fee because of its performance at the Jose-La Film Festival, a considerable bonus, and good sales overseas.
Otherwise, given Linghe's current financial pressure of operating the Jumping Theater and preparing for "The Chinese Paladin", either Lu Yanhe would have to pay out of his own pocket or Chen Siqi's team would have to provide friendly services. Otherwise, it would definitely not be possible to pay for Chen Siqi's team's publicity services.
As for Lu Yanhe, of course he hopes that these things at work will be done as they should be. Friends should make clear accounts, not to mention lovers.
Anyone who does it in the end is no longer alone.
The promotion work of "Love Letter" is not done by Chen Siqi alone. If Chen Siqi provides friendly services to Lu Yanhe and does not charge for it, what about the people in her team? They invest money, time and energy, but they can't get project bonuses. What do they want? Do they want Chen Siqi and Lu Yanhe to have a good impression of them?
This is why the more things involve multiple people, the more clear the accounts must be.
Because it is no longer a matter between the two of them.
-
In "Tropical Rainy Season", Lu Yanhe has two very important lines.
One line is the line between him and his family.
The other line is the emotional line between him and a woman.
Of course, he will not shoot this scene naked, and the focus of this movie is not on this. The plot is that when his relationship with his family is getting worse and worse, a beautiful woman whose husband has died moves upstairs, and he is attracted to her.
As a result, their relationship was discovered by their younger brother. This incident caused a huge uproar. This incident also became a climax of the whole movie, and the scandal entered this family. He had a fierce quarrel with his mother, and his younger brother burst into tears. The next day, he left this family.
The movie did not end with him, but his character ended there and disappeared from the movie.
For this movie, he is a symbol of the growth of the younger brother's character, a very important symbol.
His departure is an important change in the younger brother's life.
Having played so many dramas, including "The Golden Age" and "Phoenix Terrace", Lu Yanhe has a very protagonist perspective in every drama as long as he appears and in every scene he is in. Only in "Tropical Rainy Season" is he a real supporting role. Whether it is the story or the rhythm, it actually does not revolve around him, but focuses on his younger brother.
This actually gives Lu Yanhe a very different actor's perspective. Including the design of the rivalry between himself and the widow, if it were in the past, he would not care whether he was a supporting role or not, 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 "colorful", couldn't dominate the show, 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 drama is also reflected here.
However, in another character line, that is, his emotional line, he made the presence of his character less prominent, and he tried his best to use an "escape attitude" to highlight the "difficult to escape" fetters.
For example, when he met the woman for the first time, Lu Yanhe designed something for himself. On the one hand, he was attracted to her and took the initiative to help. On the other hand, he always paid attention to the situation downstairs - he was paying attention to the movements in his home, fearing that his attentive actions would be discovered by his mother and brother.
The actress who played the opposite role was Han Yujiang, a Chinese who grew up in Malaysia. She had not acted in many TV dramas. She used to be a local stage actor and a friend of Huang Tianlin. He pulled her to play in this play.
She is very beautiful.
The first scene Han Yujiang played against Lu Yanhe was when she moved and Lu Yanhe came to help.
After she finished, she felt a little strange and asked, "Yanhe, why do I feel that you are a little absent-minded when you are acting?"
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 to 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 I was not 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 about it seriously. Did he think wrong?
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 said to 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. With this kind of spatial relationship, you say I am completely attracted to her and will not be distracted? I think it's unrealistic."
Huang Tianlin said, "If you mind this, you won't come up to help at all."
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "But I am a man, and a man with blood. I see a woman who makes my heart beat. As soon as she appears, she attracts my attention. I can't be indifferent, but this is a contradiction. I should have this contradiction."
He turned to look at Han Yujiang: "Put yourself in their shoes. If your family is downstairs, you secretly come upstairs to contact a man who makes your heart beat, can you do it without being distracted?"
Han Yujiang hesitated, "More or less, I will care a little bit 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 film the feeling of falling for her at first sight in this scene. I can act it out. Director, believe me, let's try a few more times and find a performance method that you and I can agree on, okay?"
After working with Huang Tianlin for a few days, Lu Yanhe has figured out Huang Tianlin's style.
This person is a director with a very strong self-esteem.
He must need others to respect him, trust him, and not challenge his authority.
Although Lu Yanhe can't listen to him 100% and doesn't want to do so, within the rules, he is willing to give Huang Tianlin, as a director, such a sense of authority on the set.
He has already taken a step back.
Huang Tianlin took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "Then give it a try."
-
However, when Lu Yanhe gradually got into the groove and found a character state that both he and Huang Tianlin could accept, Han Yujiang was a little overwhelmed.
The reason why she collapsed was not because of anything else, but because she found that she couldn't take on Lu Yanhe's role at all.
When she got the script, she felt that she could play this role with ease, and she didn't need superb acting skills. As long as she was beautiful, seductive, and had a sexiness between maturity and innocence, that was enough.
This was one of her own characteristics.
But she found that when she stood with Lu Yanhe, every shot, Lu Yanhe's body details, eyes looking at her, and expressions would change slightly, gradually turning into a real 17 or 18-year-old boy who was full of blood and fell in love with a woman at first sight.
And the occasional distraction and trance in his expression gave him a sense of unpredictable stories, making her subconsciously forget that she was acting and want to explore his past life.
When she came to her senses, she inexplicably felt that she was superficial in Lu Yanhe's eyes.
Suddenly, she couldn't tell whether she felt that her acting was superficial or the character she played was superficial.
This suddenly made her confidence collapse a little.
She couldn't act anymore.
-
Huang Tianlin was the first to discover Han Yujiang's problem.
He looked at Lu Yanhe speechlessly and pulled Han Yujiang aside.
"Xiao Jiang, don't let him lead you by the nose."
Han Yujiang's face was very bleak and he was hit hard. He said, "Director, I feel like I have facial paralysis."
Huang Tianlin: "Don't think so. You've acted very well."
Han Yujiang asked in disbelief, "Really?"
"Really." Huang Tianlin said, "You can't think of comparing with Lu Yanhe. Among the young generation of actors, how many can act better than him? You have to look at yourself and your role. You have already done a very good job of presenting the feeling that your role wants to present."
Lu Yanhe, who was about to come over to ask what was wrong, was stunned when he heard Huang Tianlin's words.
Huh?
-Among the young generation of actors, how many can act better than him?
It turns out that Huang Tianlin can also hear words of praise for him?
Lu Yanhe smiled, stopped, and didn't move forward.
At this time, let Huang Tianlin do Han Yujiang's work.
Lu Yanhe went to his own lounge chair and sat down.
Wang Biao handed him the phone.
"Did anyone call?"
"No." Wang Biao shook his head.
Lu Yanhe turned on his phone and replied to some messages.
One of the messages was from Zhou Mukai, who asked him if he could take a day off next month. Xiao Jing, who went to the UK for exchange, would be back next month.
Before Xiao Jing went abroad, they said together that when he came back, they would welcome him together.
Lu Yanhe said: I will return to China after filming "Tropical Rainy Season". I can take time off. Next month, the movie "Love Letter" directed by me will start to be promoted. There will be some advance screenings. I plan to go back to Zhenhua to hold a screening. Why don't you come and help me stand on the stage?
In addition to Lu Yanhe, Mao Jiayang and Zhou Mukai both chose to study for a master's degree. After Xiao Jing returned to China, he delayed his graduation for a year and most likely chose to study for a master's degree. They all stayed in Yuming.
Since Lu Yanhe graduated, he has had less contact with them. It's not that they are estranged, but they used to see each other from time to time, but now it's difficult to even see each other. In addition, Lu Yanhe is very busy with his work now, and the person Lu Yanhe sees the most is Zhou Mukai, or because Zhou Mukai is a part-time editor of "Jump Up" magazine, Lu Yanhe sometimes runs into him when he goes to the editorial department of "Jump Up".
Zhou Mukai said: OK, you can ask them in the group later?
Lu Yanhe: OK.
-
I don't know what Huang Tianlin said to Han Yujiang. Half an hour later, they continued to shoot, and Han Yujiang's condition was much better.
Then, Lu Yanhe found that Huang Tianlin told them different things——
Huang Tianlin would tell him that the following shot was for him, so that Han Yujiang could act with him, but Han Yujiang's performance would not be captured.
In fact, there was a camera secretly filming Han Yujiang. However, Han Yujiang herself did not know that there was a camera filming her, but she relaxed and showed her body very naturally, releasing the beauty of a woman's body curve in front of the camera, without any affectation, a natural temptation.
Huang Tianlin was using this method to capture Han Yujiang's best state.
Lu Yanhe saw through it but did not say it.
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 We specially captured some close-up shots of your reactions. The director didn’t ask for them, they took them themselves. They thought your reactions were so good in a few shots, and they praised you for your professionalism.”
Lu Yanhe didn't 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 when it is discovered at this time, it is too late. 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 staying here."
Huang Tianlin said: "We can't keep dragging Lu Yanhe and asking him to stay on the set. I will review all the films I shoot, so as not to turn around and have to 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?"
"say what?"
"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 earlier. Sent to him."
"What did he say?"
"He's very interested and wants to see the finished film, or maybe 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 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, if I ask him to act in my other script, will he agree to act in it?"
Yuan Hai was stunned.
"Are you talking about the script of "Ferris Wheel"?"
"Yes." Huang Tianlin said, "After filming "Tropical Rain Season", I am ready to film this movie."
Yuan Hai said: "But is there a role suitable 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 modify the script according to his version." Huang Tianlin said, "Change it to the boyfriend of the current heroine as the protagonist and rewrite the script."
Yuan Hai: "I don't know if he will agree to act in it, you can communicate with him."
Huang Tianlin nodded.
Yuan Hai looked at Huang Tianlin with a complicated expression and said: "I thought you would at least wait until the film festival before you would give in and correct your attitude towards him."
Huang Tianlin muttered softly: "I'm not blind."
