As the sun set, a large unused long table was filled with one hundred and eighty lunch boxes called by the production team.
The crew temporarily stopped working for dinner, and the teachers on the directing team each took a lunch box and ate in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office building.
Chu Xuan was still in the director's state, sitting in front of the monitor and watching the playback, and discussing with cameraman Long Fei how to edit the footage he just shot in post-production.
The overall multi-angle and multi-view shots require a lot of thought and thought over which scene should be shown first and which scene should be followed in order to achieve the best effect possible. After the shooting, the ideas are still there, and the editing concept can be effectively finalized.
To be appropriate.
Seeing Chu Xuan's serious attitude, Liu Yifei didn't bother him, got up and helped them get two lunch boxes.
"Hey, let's do it while we eat."
Chu Xuan and Long Fei took the lunch boxes, eating, watching and chatting.
Liu Yifei looked around while eating to see if there was anything unusual going on with the crew, and finally fixed her sights on Guo Tao and Sun Yizhou.
Guo Tao and Sun Yizhou, who came to act as friends and performed very well in the first few scenes, should be thanked.
It would have been better for the director Chu Xuan to do this in person, but Chu Xuan was focused on his own world and completely ignored external affairs. Liu Yifei shook her head in her heart and could only go on her own.
"Teacher Guo Tao, Teacher Sun Yizhou, thank you for coming over to help play these two roles."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. This role is quite interesting, and it's a new experience to be able to play it."
"Yes, it's an honor for me to be able to play a role in a big production team."
Faced with Liu Yifei's gratitude, Guo Tao waved the hand holding the chopsticks, while Sun Yizhou, an actor of the same age, seemed more polite.
"The role of Teacher Guo needs to be played with a sense of experience, but most of the actors who came to audition at that time were young. Some acting teachers seemed not to favor this role, and there were not many roles in this role. Chu Xuan and I
We were too embarrassed to ask senior actors to act, so fortunately Brother Bo recommended Teacher Guo Tao, which really solved a big problem for us."
"Huang Bo called me and said that there was a role for me to help with. I heard that it was filmed in Shenzhen. I was just thinking about where to travel with my wife. I also heard that it was your crew. I was also very curious.
Yes, here we come.”
Facing Liu Yifei's words of thanks, Guo Tao said with a smile.
"Brother Bo is in the hotel, but he didn't come with the group today."
"He called me in the morning and said he wouldn't come over because he had a hotel scene to do. We would get together in the evening."
"Invite Mrs. Guo to come with you that night. I will be the host and welcome Mr. Guo Tao and his wife to Shenzhen."
"Hey, don't be so polite. We'll do it ourselves. You and Director Chu are busy, so don't waste your time."
"Where, don't delay."
Liu Yifei chatted with Guo Tao enthusiastically for a while, then turned the topic to Sun Yizhou.
"The sunshine, passion and sense of justice in the role of Teacher Sun require a lot of explosive power. Teacher Sun's performance is very appropriate. I have heard Chen He say that Teacher Sun is the best among actors of our generation."
It's very good. I have witnessed the excellence of Teacher Sun today. When this scene is broadcast, it will definitely be more exciting because of Teacher Sun's performance."
"No, you and Director Chu are the best of our generation. Our generation of actors should learn from you, and all the members of our "Love Apartment" crew are your fans. It's really an honor to be on your crew.
, when I go back to Shenghai and tell Lou Yixiao and the others about my joining the group, they will definitely be extremely envious."
"Really? If Director Chu and I go to Shenghai one day, we can find an opportunity to get together."
"Okay, okay, I will tell them, they will be very happy."
Liu Yifei and Sun Yizhou chatted for a while, looked at Guo Tao, and asked them a question with great interest: "Teacher Guo Tao, Teacher Sun, how do you feel about filming a few scenes in the crew directed by Chu Xuan, a newcomer?"
?”
Guo Tao blurted out: "The shooting angle is novel."
"Yes." Sun Yizhou nodded in agreement.
Guo Tao continued: "I rushed over this morning and listened to the production team telling me the play. When I heard that it was a play that interpreted malicious marketing and hype, my first reaction was to expose the reality and criticize the darkness. It needs to be given to the audience.
Very strong resistance."
He held a lunch box in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand. He spread his hands with a look of astonishment and a smile in his eyes: "I didn't know that this shooting angle is completely different from the cliché shots in urban dramas on the market that require revenge in similar scenes. It gives a different feeling."
The actors use different lenses and language to view events from different perspectives to express their views in an all-round way. The shooting angle of your drama is really unique."
Hearing what Guo Tao said, Sun Yizhou and the nearby special actors nodded.
Because there are too few scenes, their roles do not have character scripts. There is no need to go to the trouble of deducting individual character scripts when something can be explained clearly in a few sentences. During the day, they were invited to the set to listen to the production team's explanation of the script. All of them
They all have the same idea. According to the usual lens processing method of urban dramas on the market, these scenes mostly focus on a dark element that satirizes reality.
But after Chu Xuan's guidance just now, and the camera shooting like this, it was just like Guo Tao's evaluation, and the shooting angle was novel.
The focus is not on satire or criticism, but on objectively expressing the views of different people from different angles. This kind of shooting idea is something they have never seen before, and it is also something that is not available in the current market.
"It's very realistic and down-to-earth. Looking at this drama only from the first few scenes, if other similar scenes are like this, this drama will be unique in the category of idol dramas." Guo Tao commented.
Liu Yifei was very happy to receive this evaluation from an actor with a talent level, and she was also happy for the recognition of Chu Xuan in the teacher's words.
After chatting for a while and watching them finish eating, Liu Yifei took out the red envelope she had prepared earlier from her pocket and presented it to them.
"No, no, no, no, you are too polite."
"This is not polite, it is appropriate. The two teachers can come to help us with our work. We can't let you fly and stay in a hotel in vain. This is a little thought from me and Chu Xuan. I sincerely thank the two teachers for their efforts."
There is no salary for the friendly appearance, and there is no need to sign any acting contract. It is purely a free assistance.
But when someone comes to help, the travel and hotel expenses have to be reimbursed. This is not sophistication. It is the simplest and most basic way of thanking someone for helping.
The red envelope was neither big nor small, just a few thousand. Guo Tao and Sun Yizhou accepted it after being polite.
Seeing that the crew started to work again, Guo Tao and Sun Yizhou said goodbye and left in a very sensible manner. Liu Yifei sent the two into the elevator and both parties said goodbye.
"It's easy for you two teachers. Let's work together next time."
"good."
The elevator door slowly closed, and Guo Tao and Sun Yizhou only saw a beautiful figure passing by.
When the elevator door was completely closed, Guo Tao glanced at Sun Yizhou: "She is only in her early 20s, right?"
Sun Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "It should be about 21 or 22."
Guo Tao nodded and said with emotion: "Do you think she is only 21 or 22? Her temperament, words and deeds give me the feeling that she really has the demeanor of a big producer. This Liu Yifei will be great in the future, not just an actress.
"
Sun Yizhou and Guo Tao were not familiar with each other, and they only became acquainted with each other because of the afternoon drama, but when the topic came to this point, he also agreed with the topic and sighed: "It is said in the circle that Liu Yifei became popular because of Chu Xuan. I am in the same group
My friend Chen He told me that this is not the case, but seeing is not as true as hearing, so I just had a few words with Liu Yifei..."
He thought about it and said, "Although I don't know Sister Hua, I feel like I was just dealing with Sister Hua."
Sister Hua? Wang Jinhua? Queen of the entertainment industry?... Guo Tao smiled: "It kind of means that."
"Really, being famous is not as good as meeting." Sun Yizhou shook his head: "Those in the circle who say that Liu Yifei relies on Chu Xuan to gain power are a little bit of a sly person. They just exchanged a few words, and you can also talk to Teacher Guo.
Talking and laughing, this is not something ordinary people can do. The combination of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei seems to me to be a match made in heaven."
Guo Tao nodded slightly. They came to act as a friendly act. They never had a few words with director Chu Xuan from beginning to end. Logically speaking, they came to help for free. The crew should be more polite.
I am not seeking this courtesy, but this is a natural and normal way of dealing with people.
But after the filming of the scene was finished, Chu Xuan didn't come to say hello to them. Instead, Liu Yifei came.
Liu Yifei is a producer, so it was reasonable for her to come to say hello.
Chu Xuan was still dealing with matters, which was within their understanding.
The feeling given to these two couples is that one is inside and the other is outside.
Often those who are in the home are women, and those who are outside the home are men.
But the scene just now was just the opposite. It was not Chu Xuan who treated them politely, but Liu Yifei.
After several exchanges, they had to admit that Liu Yifei's temperament, aura and elegant and easy-going feeling really made them feel amazing and made them very comfortable. It was as if they were dealing with some gentle big shot, which made them feel comfortable.
Liu Yifei, who looked like a fairy on the screen and only gave people a quiet and elegant feeling, was impressed.
I have to say that Liu Yifei supported Chu Xuan in this small detail of the exchange just now.
"Eh? Where are Teacher Guo Tao and Sun Yizhou?" After Chu Xuan and Long Fei exchanged editing ideas, they looked up and saw that the set was being set up again, and Guo Tao and Sun Yizhou were nowhere to be seen, which made Chu Xuan feel confused.
.
"Just left." Liu Yifei got off the chair next to him. Seeing that it took so long for Chu Xuan to take a bite or two of the lunch box, she frowned and said, "Eat quickly, it's not good for your stomach if it gets cold."
"Leave?" Chu Xuan held the rice with his left hand, stuck his chopsticks in the rice, slapped his forehead with his right hand, and said with a wry smile: "I'm dizzy. People came to help me and didn't even say hello. This is embarrassing. Remember to remind them when you meet them in the future.
I apologize to them."
"What are you apologizing for? I went to chat with them for a while and expressed my gratitude. I also gave them red envelopes. You, the director, are not responsible. I, the producer, will do it for you. Just shoot your scene well." Liu Yifei smoothed her hair.
.
Chu Xuan was startled, then a smile appeared on his face, and he kissed Liu Yifei on the lips: "It's great to have you."
"Spit." Liu Yifei was caught off guard and was sneak-attacked by Chu Xuan. Seeing the teachers nearby smiling like aunties, she glared at Chu Xuan with a slightly embarrassed look.
But seeing that Chu Xuan didn't take it seriously and looked relaxed while eating, she stopped bothering her. The men and women matched each other and the husband and wife worked together. She, as the wife, would handle the things that Chu Xuan couldn't take care of. In her opinion, this was also a matter of business.
A way of relationship between husband and wife.
After Chu Xuan finished eating, it was already night.
The huge office space was successfully re-set by the crew, and four partitions were built in the east direction to present four different scenes similar to apartment bedrooms.
The scene to be filmed tonight is about the reaction of fans after the news came out that the heroine An An was being maliciously marketed.
Four actors, Zhang Ruoyun, Li Xin, Song Qian, and Zhu Yilong, were preparing on the set. Each team member fine-tuned the work at hand at their respective positions. Chu Xuan threw the lunch box into the trash can and followed deputy director Lu Chuan. Performance director Huang Lei rushed to the set to direct the scene.
, tell a play.
"The afternoon drama is about Starlight Media's malicious marketing of An Xin. The specific public opinion situation on the Internet was produced in post-production and is not available at the moment. It is up to you to imagine based on the script."
"As die-hard fans of Liu Yifei, you suddenly saw a lot of news targeting Liu Yifei on Weibo."
"Then you sit in front of the computer, located in four places across the country, and make comments from your own perspective. The specifics of how to comment are not included in the script, it is just a quick brushstroke, and you need to improvise."
"Just imagine, when your idol is praised and criticized, how should you as fans comment and fight back."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Xuan said to the four actors, who were thinking about their acting ideas while listening.
The difficulty of this scene is that as a fan, you have to make a speech, and the speech has to be improvised.
The script is not well designed in this area, and the actors' temporary performance may be more effective.
"Four temporary Weiyu accounts have been arranged for you, corresponding to the Xinlang private server. The news and topic pages about Anxin being praised, killed and hacked have been created. After you log in to the account, you can chat and delete them in the corresponding topics.
It’s not public, just play with you.”
Zhang Ruoyun, Li Xin, Song Qian and Zhu Yilong were shocked. They knew what this scene was about before. After all, they all had a character script. The script also made it very clear that they should respond to bad comments and comments in the computer as a fan.
News, but there is no specific information on how to operate the script on the computer. Now that the director said this, they thought it was awesome.
They are all young people in the Internet era. Of course they understand what Chu Xuan's words mean. They asked a company as big as Xinlang to set up a private server for the crew, and also set up micro-entertainment websites in the real world one by one.
, and the malicious marketing plot in the play is presented on a real website, and actors like them can also perform on this real website, which is a bit awesome.
"Now you go and get familiar with it. Find a topic and comment below to get a feel for it. Please ask Teacher Huang to give some guidance on their performances."
Chu Xuan made arrangements for the actors and the cameramen.
"The final picture of this scene is a four-square grid layout on TV. Each grid is a picture of an actor as a fan. I want four actors to appear in one picture at the same time. The effect to be achieved is
Something happened to the idol, and fans from four places across the country had different reactions at the same moment."
"It reflects the star-chasing people of the current era, their seemingly normal but irrational star-chasing behavior."
"The connotation is the relationship between star-chasers and family. You are so concerned about a star that has nothing to do with you. When did you ever pay so much attention to and care about your family, parents and relatives?"
"Everyone, think about how to shoot these four shots."
Chu Xuan directed the scene on the set according to his own ideas, while the camera operators were listening and thinking about the language of the shots.
On the directing team's side, listening to Chu Xuan's direction, Liu Yifei was also chatting with the teachers.
"Today's star-chasers are quite crazy, and all kinds of unexpected situations happen every year." Fang Wenshan said.
"It's better now. The bad incidents in previous years are really happening one after another, especially in Xiangjiang." Tang Jili said.
"Don't we, Director Chu, have a ready-made case?" Qi Mu said with a smile: "In the 'Korean Wave' incident, a little girl knelt down to plead for Hallyu, which shocked the whole country."
Liu Yifei opened the plastic bag and distributed the pearl milk tea to the teachers. She also handed a cup to Gu Lina next to her and said: "It is precisely because of this incident that Chu Xuan and I realized that in this circle, the lower the profile, the better.
Therefore, in the past two years, we have not participated in external activities and business if we can. The fewer topics we talk about, the more leisurely we are, the less frequent attention we attract, and the lower the chance of possible bad incidents."
Zhou Jielun nodded: "Yes, but in this circle, you can't avoid being surrounded by some garbage topics. Often you can only clean yourself up, and you can't ask others to do what they want. This is a test of your mentality."
"Yes, it's unavoidable." Liu Yifei sipped her pearl milk tea and said, "No matter how low-key we are, our works must be publicized. Publicity creates topics, and when there are topics, bad things will always come out."
Fang Wenshan nodded slightly: "If it's a spontaneous comment from a netizen, forget it. It's normal to be both positive and negative, but when it comes to the topic of capital's malicious marketing, it's really hard to prevent and very annoying."
"Yeah." Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly: "Just like today's scenes, they were created based on my real experience. The title of 'Sister Fairy' was malicious marketing by capital back then, with the intention of praising me and killing me. Later, I was
The manager at the time, Huang Bing, who is now the chairman of the Bright Era Artist Agency, followed the same idea and issued a large number of beautifying press releases, which turned the title into a good reputation, and then let it go."
"This part is your real experience!" Fang Wenshan and Zhou Jielun were both surprised.
In the script, Starlight Media maliciously marketed the heroine An Xin because the heroine's short film entry was in the costume genre. The reason why the heroine was in costume was because An Xin's appearance was accompanied by the song "Lanting Preface".
Because Anxin's micro-movie is a period costume, Starlight Media praised Anxin as the "fairy sister" and then continued to market Anxin's fraud, using a marketing strategy where the higher the praise, the harder the fall.
In the play, Starlight Media succeeds, and An Xin plummets as a result. This is the main plot of trying to make a comeback with the encouragement of the hero Jock.
Liu Yifei's reputation as the "Fairy Sister" is well known to the public, and they only thought it was for publicity and put her in the drama to suit her role.
I never expected that what happened in the drama turned out to be a true story. Anxin was maliciously marketed as the "Fairy Sister", and Liu Yifei's name as the "Fairy Sister" was also maliciously marketed in reality.
"Really." Liu Yifei nodded.
It was the first time that Tang Jili and Ning Hao heard Liu Yifei talk about this matter. Tang Jili praised: "You are the only one who can hold on. Huang Bing was the only one who had the courage to come up with this marketing idea. If it were someone else,
If an actress plays Wang Yuyan and is marketed in such a malicious way, her image and reputation do not match, and the market does not buy her, then the road ahead will be very difficult."
"Wang Yuyan is the 'fairy sister' herself." Gu Lina said, she was very surprised that Wang Yuyan was the fairy sister, so how could there be malicious marketing?
Liu Yifei looked at her: "But you can't just use this point as the focus of publicity. If you vigorously market towards a certain point, good things will turn bad. At that time, some people did this deliberately, just like today's drama.
First praise him and then crush him."
"Ah, that's it." Gulina seemed to understand.
"What did Chu Xuan say about this?" Zhou Jielun was curious.
Hearing this question, Liu Yifei looked like she couldn't help laughing, and said: "Chu Xuan said that this malicious marketing is low-level. If he marketed me as the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens, it might be successful."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed again and again. The fairy sister was not enough, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl was also required. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
