Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 321 What kind of mediator is the tyrant on the set?

"..."

Thousands of fantasies were put to rest in one second, and all Han Duoduo's thoughts returned to reality.

No matter what kind of rumor it was, it obviously didn't fall on her.

At this moment, Han Duoduo clearly understood that he had been a little too presumptuous just now.

Just thinking about shit.

No matter what she said, it was not her turn.

Han Duoduo knew very well that her appearance had little to do with her being chosen by the Wandering Earth crew.

She does have good looks, but obviously there is no one more beautiful than her in the entertainment industry.

It's just that his temperament and age are in perfect harmony with the character's image, and he learned it in a down-to-earth manner during school.

Plus...cheap.

For a player like Han Duoduo to be chosen as the heroine in a big-budget film like The Wandering Earth, even if she is the titular heroine, it is pie in the sky.

It doesn't matter if it's paid or not.

Of course, Li Cheng and the others were not that stingy, and they still offered a suitable price, reaching seven figures.

Let's put it this way, for any artist, even a top domestic entertainment star like Cheng Jing, if Han Duoduo has any thoughts about her, it is both a formal and unspoken rule.

However, once the artist becomes Xu Nian, no matter whether he is a contestant in the entertainment industry or not, no matter whether the opponent is a man or a woman, there are anti-unspoken rules.

What do you mean...

That is to say, as long as it has anything to do with Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu is the one who suffers, no matter who the other party is, everyone wins.

And there are real-life examples of this.

For example, a female singer who retired from the entertainment industry who did not want to be named, and a female CEO who did not want to be at the top of the rich list can all prove this.

They felt they had earned something.

I am so happy every day that I can’t even find the north...

In short, after returning to reality, Han Duoduo sat upright and focused on being an audience.

"Xu Men has no restrictions."

Xu Nian then said simply.

"It's just that, Director Li and others think that my performance style is relatively new, and there are still many people who criticize me, so I don't want to get used to it."

"It's not about becoming a new sect. After all, the threshold is very low. There is no theory to speak of and it's not complicated. It's just a slap in the face."

Li Cheng and the others agreed with Mr. Xu's calmness. They had followed him all the way and knew Mr. Xu's starting point.

I just get annoyed by people.

I just happened to have the conditions and opportunity to directly slap people inside and outside the circle.

Putting aside everything else, Mr. Xu just said, you can't even beat the players I brought out, you are so stupid!

So, Li Cheng thought about it and said: "Then should we change the shooting order and shoot Xu Qi's scene first?"

"You don't need to be so deliberate, just do it step by step. The difficulty of this drama is the special effects production. There is plenty of time for the performance part alone." Xu Nian replied.

"That's true."

"The main difficulty now is actually figuring out the scale for localizing science fiction films."

"That's definitely a problem."

"Director Chen, don't just agree. Everyone is pointing at you in this regard."

"No, no, there are indeed some problems that are bound to be encountered."

"Then let's solve it step by step."

"have nothing to say."

"..."

The topic at the dinner table turned around, and finally it came to Master Xu taking Han Duoduo.

"The most popular people on the island are actors. Isn't it appropriate?"

"That's because you don't understand Mr. Xu. They are all actors. You won't be able to learn this thing if you watch it too many times."

"I see."

"It's all trivial matters. Xiao Han is a professional and his basic skills are better than mine. He can basically get through everything."

Han Duoduo: "..."

Should I answer the call, or should I shut up?
…………

There are no plans to start work in the afternoon, so this lunch naturally requires some wine.

This place is Shandong again.

You know everything.

The whole crew is here, more or less doing a do-as-the-Romance kind of thing, and there are players like Meng Sanjin here.

The scene was just...

Anyway, Mr. Xu didn't pay attention. He stopped getting involved after three drinks and became an excited audience watching the show.

Mr. Xu never drinks too much when he goes out.

Never let yourself reach your limit.

This is the consciousness and self-control that seems to be inherent after becoming a traffic star.

In fact, the real drinking started after Han Duoduo and some other female contestants left the table.

After all, the main talkers present here all have pursuits, dreams, and goals, and there are plenty of ways to do fancy things, so they would not be in this kind of situation.

As for being drunk...that's not a big deal.

The media has little interest in reporting it.

For now, even the news about Mr. Xu being drunk is not as powerful as the crew allowing the media to report on "The Wandering Earth".

"None of you are good at it. I'm not bragging. Meng and I can kill everyone in the audience."

After Meng Chao had almost finished a pound of liquor, Xu Nian decisively started to taunt him.

"Still doing as the Romans do, tsk tsk tsk, that's it?"

To be honest, Mr. Xu still knows Meng Chao very well. This amount, based on the level of wine on the table, is only one pound to the point where Meng Sanjin is just getting excited.

His boy was born to be an alcoholic.

Because Mr. Xu's schedule in the past few months was too simple, it gave Meng Chao the perfect opportunity to prepare for pregnancy. Yu Ting is already three months pregnant, and this time the lockdown has been lifted.

Even if he drinks occasionally, he would never be able to enjoy such a happy moment.

The amount of three kilograms of liquor is not something that an ordinary wine shop can enjoy.

"Okay, okay, we admit that you, Mr. Xu and Meng Zhu, can't drink. How about we drink alone if we can?" Li Cheng, who claimed to be half Shandong, immediately became angry.

"Okay, okay, I'll have a drink and you have a drink, how about that?"

"Come!"

"..."

So, Xu Nian picked up his exclusive two-money cup, poured a full glass, and pushed the separate cup directly to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng: "6."

"Meng, let's drink together. It's been two years and I don't believe I can beat you!"

"Come on."

"..."

.........

So, after half of the crew was let go by Meng Chao, Xu Nian, who had only drank 2 taels in total, left the table.

After returning to the hotel, I washed up a little, got on the common Alfa, and then took Han Duoduo to the city.

That's right.

The culprit who paralyzed the Wandering Earth was still carrying out exemplary teaching in a leisurely manner.

Han Duoduo was shocked.

She is young, but she is not without common sense.

After returning to the hotel, I heard that the party was going crazy, and I heard that one person after another was being carried away.

As a result, the protagonist took her to the scene to observe and learn the performance like nothing happened.

And there is no need for an agent to arrange everything by himself.

Wherever you can draw inspiration from.No matter how you analyze it.

Everything is in order.

The actual execution is even more relaxed and comfortable, and he knows how to avoid being recognized by excessive attention.

Apart from anything else, Han Duoduo felt that these alone were enough for him to learn.

Then I heard Xu Nian say: "Actually, my method is very simple, just be yourself."

“It may just be that you need to relax yourself reasonably on the set, so that the performance looks relaxed, ordinary but natural;
In fact, it means looking at all kinds of people and then seeing what you are like. "

Han Duoduo quickly wrote it down carefully.

For a second, her mind even felt that she had learned it, but Xu Nian made random arrangements and she couldn't find the state...

…………

…………

The daily life on the set is not complicated, and there is usually nothing fussy about it.

At least that's how it is from Mr. Xu's perspective.

When he has nothing to do, he doesn't even leave the set. He sits there holding a thermos cup every day like a second uncle.

Han Duoduo, who was belatedly aware of the situation, finally understood why Li Cheng introduced Xu Nian like this on the first day.

With the way the second uncle looks like, it's hard not to call him that.

Because there was no rush to arrange scenes for herself, Han Duoduo, who was fully adapting to the daily life on the set, stayed with Xu Nian most of the time.

You can clearly observe Mr. Xu's casual daily life.

Most of the time, Mr. Xu can just sit there and do nothing.

Others came over to chat, but Mr. Xu did not resist.

The most common scene is Mr. Xu, the executive director and others chattering and pointing.

Han Duoduo can only say that it looks better when released than wandering on the earth.

As long as Mr. Xu is not involved in the drama, Mr. Xu and others will comment on it from beginning to end.

The target includes the director who directs, the other two who assist in directing, as well as the actors and extras on set.

Of course, Han Duoduo knew very well that this was also teaching him.

Because occasionally Mr. Xu would suddenly take her out and ask her opinion, asking her to talk about her feelings from the audience's perspective.

In the meantime, Mr. Xu also mentioned asking Meng Chao to help Han Duoduo contact Tianyue and send her an artist contract to sign her.

Han Duoduo once again understood why he was called Mr. Xu.

Master Xu asked her opinions and thoughts, then directly ordered Meng Chao, and that was it.

There is no go-to-[-] process.

Han Duoduo herself didn't feel much, but several of her relatives and friends were extremely happy.

Then Han Duoduo realized that he had been hit by a pie again.

Nothing else. The reason why she was so young and alone on the set without her parents was because she had a relationship with Li Cheng.

It's not a relationship, it's Han Duoduo's main instructor at school who has a good relationship with Li Cheng, like a close friend... Of course, this became clear after the casting was completed.

Li Cheng never loses his temper when it comes to business matters.

Therefore, Li Cheng would usually mention something to Han Duoduo about big things, so that she would know how good she was.

…………

The filming progress of The Wandering Earth is the slowest among all the films Xu Nian has starred in.

According to this situation, it will take at least three months to shoot.

Because Chen Yifan and Li Cheng adopted a special shooting method to shorten the time and... burn up the funds.

Not too complicated.

That is, some special effects will be produced directly on site to assist shooting.

Xu Nian doesn't have many scenes. Sometimes he only shoots two or three scenes a day and then they are gone.

Therefore, the requirements for actors' performance ability are even higher. Most of the time, it is basically a one-shot requirement.

More long shots and combination shots are needed to show the authenticity of the scene, so that the audience can be immersed in it while watching, without that studio feel.

It can be regarded as a kind of groping state.

After all, Chinese film and television has indeed not had a team to comprehensively produce a truly effective science fiction movie for many years.

Even Chen Yifan, a player who has worked with many players in Hollywood, still needs time to get used to the team and so on.

Naturally, this kind of running-in will be accompanied by...arguments and even quarrels.

It’s not that everyone suddenly fell out, but that creating something new is sometimes accompanied by all kinds of friction.

And some conflicts of ideas and so on.

It's normal to argue.

After all, it is such a big crew, and it would be a bit bragging if they were always harmonious.

Mr. Xu had quarrels with people on the set...

…………

"I'm not questioning your ability. What I mean is that you don't have to copy the Hollywood methods."

"Funding is not a problem, our more important key point is to make this movie."

On this day, Li Cheng and Chen Yifan started to quarrel again.

Chen Yifan was also helpless about this: "I'm not saying that you question me, I just want to express that we only have such a plan at the moment."

“It’s not necessarily bad to use doctrine.”

"But you have problems with even basic things in this direction. This is no longer as simple as using doctrine."

"That's a bit much to say."

"Why don't you ask everyone? The team was formed by everyone together, so it can't be said that it's all about me."

"I won't take sides, but Director Chen, you can't be so stubborn sometimes."

Zhuang Hui also joined the 'battle situation'.

Chen Yifan: "..."

As the war situation expanded, the entire crew became a bit silent from top to bottom.

Even the executive director, who was always chirpy, kept his mouth shut.

Han Duoduo and some other actors even dared not say anything for a long time.

The props, stage management, extras, etc. all wish they could disappear immediately.

This kind of scene is simply not something that 'handymen' like them can get involved in.

However, they actually had a 'reasonable' idea, and even felt that they had expected it.

Because...the three monks had no water to drink.

The structure of the three chief directors of the crew is too easy for conflicts of ideas to break out.

Especially two of them are still famous players on the international stage.

but……

None of this affects Mr. Xu.

At first, he just watched the show. His point of view was that the truth became clearer as the arguments were made, and the quarrel was not a big problem, and instead, the show could be filmed well.

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Mr. Xu had no choice but to stand up reluctantly.

"I've been listening for a long time. You guys are just arguing here. Have you ever heard that practice is the standard for testing truth?"

"Isn't it just a matter of one or two scenes?"

"Since none of you are convinced and have reasons, why don't you each direct a group and compare the effects?"

"Do you need to be so noisy? How old are you? Three or two years old?"

"If you keep making noise, I'll do it myself!"

At this point in the training, Mr. Xu picked up the loudspeaker and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Get ready for me to start work!"

"Listen to the second uncle." Li Cheng was the first to express his opinion, "In order to avoid further disputes, I will direct first."

Chen Yifan also expressed his attitude quickly and honestly: "Okay."

"..."
