Chapter 492 I want you to know what self-discipline is
Several waiters came in with dishes, and one waiter opened the red wine and poured it into the decanter.
The food is served, the wine is poured, the meal begins, and the conversation continues.
Since important matters are at hand, everyone is just trying to stop it.
Everyone here is a film and television person, even Wang Jinhua, who is an agent, is considered a semi-professional film and television person.
Regarding the film framework proposed by Tang Jili, everyone spoke freely and made constructive suggestions on related cooperation matters.
There is an immersive exchange here, and from noon to evening the afterglow has dissipated without even realizing it.
On the other side, the sun has just risen.
——New Haven, USA.
Eli community.
The sun is rising and the light is beautiful.
Wandering in the villa in the sunshine, Liu Yifei is sitting in front of the dressing table in the bedroom. On the dressing table are makeup boxes and various combs and other tools for combing hair. Liu Xiaoli is standing behind her daughter with a comb, doing it for her daughter.
hairstyle.
Liu Yifei moved her head slightly from side to side, looked at herself in the mirror, and admired her 360-degree beauty.
She suddenly remembered what Chu Xuan said: "You are 3240 degrees of beauty with no blind spots, of which 360 degrees remain in this three-dimensional world that we can see, and the other eight 360 degrees are in the remaining eight invisible dimensions.
Life appreciates.”
"Pfft", Liu Yifei smiled.
Every time she thought of Chu Xuan's scientific compliment, she felt happy and very interesting at the same time.
Seeing her daughter suddenly smiling, Liu Xiaoli helped her daughter comb her hair and shook her head: "I must be missing Xiaoxuan again."
"We haven't seen each other for almost two months." Liu Yifei admitted frankly, her eyes filled with longing for Chu Xuan.
Liu Xiaoli smiled fondly and stroked her daughter's hair: "After the interview is settled, we will return to China and you can also film a movie."
"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly, thinking that she would be able to go back to film with Chu Xuan soon, and she was looking forward to it for a while.
She looked in the mirror and watched her mother starting to style her hair. After looking at it, she said, "Mom, what do you think of a ponytail?"
Liu Xiaoli's hand combing her hair stopped, and she said thoughtfully: "Ponytail?"
After a pause, she shook her head: "I don't think it's good. If the ponytail hairstyle is combined with your face shape, although you have some heroic spirit, the ponytail will make you look a little delicate."
Liu Yifei blinked and thought about her mother's opinion.
Some time ago, Liu Yi sent her an email about the character setting of Princess Nihuang, the heroine of "Legend of Red Flame", as well as several high-profile plots about the characters, asking her to think about it on her own.
She spent a few days thinking about it several times, and after communicating with Chu Xuan, she added training courses for herself in her daily life of shopping, walking, playing, and reading with her mother.
She begged her mother to hire someone to decorate a room downstairs into a studio, similar to the indoor ultra-small studio used for self-study in the Villa in Donglin Villa, and also added three cameras and corresponding photography lights.
.
Seeing your own training through the camera will give you a more immersive experience and you will be able to quickly spot your shortcomings.
In order to make her character feel stronger, she asked her mother to design Princess Nihuang's hairstyle for her.
"Then what are you going to do?" In addition to filming, her mother has been doing most of her hair growing up. When her mother was a dancer, she often fixed makeup for dancers during rehearsals.
Although my mother has not received professional training in makeup, her experience and vision are not much worse than those of professional makeup artists.
Besides, this is her mother. How could her mother see her daughter as ugly?
"Impossible." Liu Yifei thought arrogantly. This also came from her absolute trust in her mother from the bottom of her heart.
"Tie your hair into a neat bun." Liu Xiaoli said.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at her daughter's questioning look through the mirror. She explained: "Princess Nihuang is not only a general but also a noble princess, and Princess Nihuang and Lin Shu have been engaged since they were children.
It can be said that you are already halfway married."
"In ancient times, when a woman wore her hair in a bun, it represented that she was a wife."
"The preciousness of the headdress on the bun represents a woman's status."
"If you make your hair into a bun, it will give people a natural feeling of nobility if it matches your appearance."
Liu Xiaoli took up her daughter's long hair and started to make her hair into a bun.
"Chu Xuan always said that you have a heroic spirit between your eyebrows, which means you have the temperament to fight on the battlefield."
"Princess Nihuang got her hair tied into a bun before she got married. This means that Princess Nihuang has committed herself physically and mentally to Lin Shu, regardless of etiquette. It also represents Princess Nihuang's love for Lin Shu."
"Paired with one or two headdresses that are less conspicuous and exude nobility and are inserted into the bun, they can also represent the nobility of Princess Nihuang's status."
"Why not wear conspicuous headwear?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.
"Headwear that is too conspicuous will distract the audience's attention. A good actor relies on his own temperament and acting skills." Liu Xiaoli said.
"Wow." Liu Yifei smiled after hearing this: "Mom, I think you are so awesome now!"
Liu Xiaoli showed her face slightly, picked two dim but expensive hairpins from the dressing table, and carefully inserted them into the bun she had arranged for her daughter: "With your relationship with Sister Hua, I have been working in the company for the past two years.
I visited and studied in various departments, and the teachers were also very polite to me, and they answered any questions I had."
"You are making progress, and so am I."
"Otherwise, how can I be your full-time agent when you return after your studies?"
"Mom is great!" Liu Yifei smiled at her mother in the mirror. Neither she nor Chu Xuan knew what her mother had learned in the company. They only knew from the opinions her mother occasionally expressed on weekdays that her mother was getting better and better.
incredible.
As for the analysis of Princess Nihuang just now, my mother was able to tell so many important points with just a hairstyle, which would have been impossible for my previous mother to do.
It seems that she and Chu Xuan still underestimated their mother's evolutionary level, and her mother is hiding it now.
Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter's appearance in the mirror with a different hairstyle, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, she was as pretty as I was when I was young." She thought so. Even at nearly fifty years old, it was rare for her to compete with her daughter for her beauty in her heart.
"Go down and let mom see how you train." She squeezed her daughter's shoulder.
Liu Yifei nodded, stood up and looked at herself in the mirror again.
"Beautiful." She admired herself, turned around and went downstairs with her mother.
Arriving at the photography room, Liu Yifei began to adjust the camera. Without a cameraman, she could only fix the camera in the right position.
Seeing her daughter busy here and there, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but ask, "Want to help?"
Liu Yifei was adjusting a camera and looking at the screen intently. When she heard her mother's question, she said: "Put that camera towards the wall on my side, and then aim the photography light over there at the center of the room."
"
Liu Xiaoli followed her daughter's instructions and started playing with it: "Do you have any explanation?"
Liu Yifei adjusted the focal length of the camera and watched the picture on the screen shrink in order to find the best focus picture: "The camera is aimed at the corner of the wall, and the picture taken will look like a wide-angle lens. Wide-angle lenses are usually used to shoot scenes.
I rarely take pictures of people.”
"The video light is pointed at the lens of my camera, and the picture taken will be backlit, and the effect will not be good."
Liu Xiaoli figured out the camera angle and turned the photography light to face the center of the room: "If it's backlit, the light source is the strongest, so shouldn't the picture be better?"
Liu Yifei shook her head: "Although the light source is the strongest, the picture taken will be distorted. For example, when taking a face shot with backlight, the face may look beautiful under the strong light, but the face will seem to be smoothed.
I can’t take any pictures of the facial lines, it’s almost like a beauty treatment, which is very unreal.”
"Directors Zhao, Director Kong, Wen Muye, including Brother Zhang, they almost don't use backlighting to shoot people, unless it's a special scene."
Liu Xiaoli nodded. Seeing her daughter get up and start working on another camera, she praised: "Okay, professional."
After some time, Liu Yifei finished debugging the three cameras.
The three cameras are aimed at different angles, which allows them to capture multi-faceted images.
After looking at her masterpiece, Liu Yifei clapped her hands playfully, looking very satisfied.
"Okay." She came to the center of the room, ready to start training.
Liu Xiaoli looked at it with her arms folded and said, "Aren't you going to adjust the lights?"
"I don't know how to light up yet." Liu Yifei pouted.
Liu Xiaoli gave her a gentle look and encouraged her: "I'll learn more later."
"Yeah." Liu Yifei nodded, showing her interest and desire to learn lighting, and then fell into silence.
Seeing her daughter's sudden stop, she knew that her daughter was in a mood, so Liu Xiaoli also calmed down and did not disturb her.
For a moment, she only saw her daughter frowning slightly and raising one hand, but it was empty. But Liu Xiaoli knew that there should be a sword as a prop, but such a prop was not available at the moment, so her daughter could only perform without a physical object.
"Kill!!" Liu Yifei shouted in a deep voice.
Just this word, then... there is no then.
"How does it feel?" Liu Yifei eagerly awaited her mother's comments.
Liu Xiaoli's stunned expression slowly dissipated, and she blinked at her daughter: "Is it just like this? It's so embarrassing."
My mother is my mother, and she speaks so mercilessly.
Liu Yifei squatted on the ground and couldn't help laughing.
"I think..." Liu Xiaoli thought about it for a moment and said, "What I feel is that your eyes are like a child's love."
"Children love each other forever?" Liu Yifei squatted on the ground and raised her head.
Liu Xiaoli nodded: "In this plot, Lin Shu died here, and you led the troops to fight at the place where Lin Shu died to fight against the enemy who killed Lin Shu back then."
"The look in your eyes gives me the feeling of love between a son and a daughter. What does this mean? The purpose of your expedition is to avenge Lin Shu."
"But you are a marshal of the country, how can you go to war for personal affairs?"
"If you give me the impression that you have inherited Lin Shu's legacy, that you are protecting your family and country, and that you are expelling the Tartars, then your sense of character will be higher and better."
After hearing her mother's words, Liu Yifei thought thoughtfully.
Perhaps she had done so many emotional scenes with Chu Xuan that she couldn't get out of her habitual emotional state for a while.
But after receiving her mother's advice, she suddenly realized that playing the role of Princess Nihuang in her previous state would definitely not work.
Moreover, the core idea that "Legend of Red Flame" wants to express is to use the life and death love between the male and female protagonists to show the boundless love and the inheritance and continuation of the national will, this noble and passionate theme.
Then, love and love need to be abandoned.
Liu Yifei stood up and got new ideas, and she was ready to try again.
At this moment, a cell phone rang, interrupting her actions.
"It must be Chu Xuan!"
When she heard the call in her hand and thought it might be Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei suddenly lost her thoughts on training and trotted to the stool where her mobile phone was placed in anticipation.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaoli shook her head helplessly and felt funny.
Seeing that the caller ID on the phone was Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei happily pressed the connect button and pressed the speakerphone: "You guys took a long time to eat this meal."
Today, Chu Xuan and Sister Hua were going to discuss the movie with Brother Chenglong and the others. She knew this. Chu Xuan also said that he would call her after dinner to tell her the result of the discussion.
What she didn't expect was that one meal could be eaten from noon to evening, which was quite impressive.
"We're all chatting." Chu Xuan's voice came from the mobile phone.
"You didn't drink too much, did you?" Liu Yifei asked with concern.
"We were talking about business, and we didn't even drink much." Chu Xuan said.
Liu Yifei felt relieved and nodded.
"What are you doing?"
"It's training. My mother just told me a play, which made me realize everything."
"Auntie tell you a play?"
Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Chu Xuan was obviously a little surprised.
"What do you mean?" Liu Xiaoli crossed her arms, walked slowly over, lowered her head slightly and said to the phone: "Looking at your tone, I can't tell a story?"
Probably because Chu Xuan didn't expect Liu Xiaoli to be there, he kept quiet.
"Mom is very amazing, you don't know. She analyzes things in an orderly manner, as if she is a professional performance coach." Liu Yifei praised her mother.
"Auntie, you have become so powerful, which makes me very stressed." Chu Xuan said.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Chu Xuan's joke made them both smile.
Liu Yifei asked: "What was the result of your chat? We have been chatting for so long."
Chu Xuan replied: "Everyone talked about some creative plots and came up with some ideas, so we chatted for a long time."
"After the story frame is determined, I will send you the content in the email. This remains unchanged."
"The preliminary cooperation intention has been negotiated, and it will be a joint venture between Bright Times, China Film Group and Yinghuang."
"The general selection of actors has also been decided. There are two of us in the main cast, so some supporting roles will be played by actors from Hong Kong."
Liu Yifei nodded slowly. Since it is a joint venture with Yinghuang, it will definitely have to use many actors from Hong Kong. Brilliant Times no longer has a choice in this aspect.
This was the result that she and Chu Xuan had long expected, and it was also in response to the call from the relevant departments to call for one family in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
"Next month, a movie from Yinghuang will premiere at the Bright Times Cinema in Pengcheng. Yinghuang Chairman Yang Shouchen will be at the scene. Sister Hua and Third Brother will also go there to discuss the formal cooperation details.
, and determine whether to cooperate.”
"Whether we decide to cooperate or not, Director Tang will start working on the script tomorrow. Even if we don't cooperate with the script, we can still stay in Brilliant Era and wait for the next opportunity to shoot again."
"In terms of the crew structure, according to what we just discussed, Third Brother is the chief producer and first producer, Sister Hua and Mr. Du are co-producers, Director Tang is the executive producer and executive director, and the action director will come
A group of teachers from Xiangjiang are probably like this at the moment."
"Also, Brother Liu will help us design the characters."
Liu Yifei said "hmm" to express her understanding.
Liu Yi is the person who knows her and Chu Xuan's acting styles best, and also knows their acting skills very well.
Director Tang invited Brother Liu to help design her and Chu Xuan's roles, probably because of the above two points.
"How is the progress of "Legend of Red Flame"?" She changed the topic.
"Brother Quan agreed to play the role of Mei Changsu. The rest of the process is going quite smoothly. When you return to China after the interview in June, you should be able to start filming." Chu Xuan replied.
Liu Yifei's eyes were filled with anticipation, and she asked again: "Is "Zhu Xian" going to be finished next month?"
"Well, it will be broadcast in the third week of next month and will start on May 20th." Chu Xuan replied.
"What about "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?" Liu Yifei asked.
"Jiang Xin plays Concubine Hua. The arrangements have been made. Leave the rest to the crew and teachers. Don't worry about it." Chu Xuan said.
"Okay." Liu Yifei nodded: "You should go back and rest early after drinking. I want to continue to find my condition."
"Okay." Chu Xuan said.
Just as Liu Yifei was about to hang up the phone, she thought of something and hurriedly said: "Have your clothes been washed?"
Chu Xuan probably didn't expect Liu Yifei to ask such a question out of the blue, so he paused and said, "I've washed it."
"I don't believe it!" Liu Yifei knew Chu Xuan well and snorted: "Go home and take pictures for me. Let me see if there are any clothes on the clothes drying rack. It's best to take pictures of the clothes for me to see if the complexion has been washed.
.”
"I'll take pictures for you tomorrow." Chu Xuan said.
"Tomorrow?!" Liu Yifei laughed angrily: "You can wash it when you go back, and then take pictures for me after washing it! You can do it, even if the clothes are piled up, you don't even wash them. Chu Xuan, you are getting rougher and rougher!"
"
Hearing what she said, Chu Xuan's voice burst into laughter: "It's just a few clothes, there's no rush."
"What should I do if it smells bad!" Liu Yifei was speechless.
"Buy a new one." Chu Xuan said.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yifei helplessly raised her forehead and looked at her mother. Both mother and daughter felt very happy.
"Chu Xuan, when I come back you are done, I want you to know what self-discipline is, hum." Liu Yifei made up her mind to get rid of Chu Xuan's bad habit of laziness when she returns in June.
In terms of career, he is active and self-disciplined, but in life, he starts to collapse when he leaves her. How can this be done?
With these thoughts in mind, after saying goodbye to each other, Liu Yifei hung up the phone and continued her training-style performance under Liu Xiaoli's gaze.
