Become famous another day.

The person who came to see Su Xiao was Yu Qin, the director of "Happy Time".

A salary of 100,000 yuan, a shooting period of half a year, and a movie.

That’s right, it was the movie that had approached Jiang Yuqian but was ultimately rejected by her.

Before Yu Qin came to him, Su Xiao had never thought that one day he would be noticed by a big director like Yu Qin.

But, 10, half a year.

After hearing these key words, Su Xiao knew very well in his heart that the company would definitely not agree.

She doesn't have the capital now to spend half a year making a movie and only get paid 10 yuan.

She herself is willing to pursue art, but her team and her company are not willing to follow her and starve to death.

However, Yu Qin's producer said to her: "Do you want to be a traffic star in everyone's mind for the rest of your life?"

When Lidya Su heard this, she bit her lip subconsciously.

She was actually very angry with herself.

She is obviously already a popular star, even if she is a traffic star who is "discriminated" by the mainstream circle. If she doesn't think about becoming a particularly great actor, she is already at the top of the industry.

Is the traffic terrible? Is it terrible?
Being a top star also means high commercial value, which means that every project will be chosen by her first.

However, Su Xiao also felt it. As a top star, if you are not recognized, when you come into contact with those real people in the entertainment industry, you will be looked down upon.

You may even be looked down upon and ridiculed by many media outlets.
-
"We really don't need to take on such a movie. Although Yu Qin's movies sound very high-end, who knows what her movie will be like? Can it be shortlisted for the top four international films? Can it win an award if it is shortlisted? Spending half a year gambling on a movie like this is too costly."

The agent's attitude was indeed not to support Su Xiao taking on this movie.

"Think about it, Yu Qin's last movie helped Ning Xiulian win the Best Actress Award at the Venice International Film Festival. Logically, her new movie should be sought after by many actresses, but it has been so long and nothing has been decided. Now she has sent the script to us."

Of course, what the agent said makes sense.

Su Xiao also has self-knowledge.

Now that this movie has come to them, no other actress would be willing to take it.

Su Xiao asked: "When will I have the opportunity to make a serious movie in the future?"

The agent said, "There will definitely be suitable opportunities in the future, but we don't need to make a movie just for the sake of making a movie, right?"

Su Xiao: "This is not a movie made just for the sake of making a movie."

The agent said, "I will contact Linghe later. If you want to make a movie, I will go over there to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation."

Su Xiao: "If the company still insists that I can only play the leading female role, Linghe will definitely not use me, right? Xiao Yun played the second female role in "Those Years"."

"Is Xiao Yun as popular as you?" the manager asked back immediately, "Besides, Xiao Yun doesn't have as many organized black fans as you do, right? If you play a second female role, do you believe that your black fans will immediately blacken you to the point of being out of fashion?"

Su Xiao was silent.

"Even now, there are still many haters online who are using that reporter's words to mock you, saying that you are looked down upon by the mainstream circle."
-
“Lidya Su is indeed in a dilemma now.”

There is a lot of controversy about Su Xiao on the Internet.

In "Young Days", other actors have already entered the mainstream, but Su Xiao has been stuck in idol dramas.

Besides, Lu Yanhe didn't use her.

I don't know where this voice came from, saying that Lu Yanhe looked down on Su Xiao's acting skills, so all his friends were pulled into his projects, except Su Xiao, who had never worked with him on any project other than "Young Days" and didn't even go to "The Birth of an Actor".

Yet, amidst such controversy, Lu Yanhe remained silent.

According to his past habits, if his friend was really criticized, he would definitely stand up.

There were even more people who ridiculed Su Xiao.

About two or three days later, Lu Yanhe posted a Weibo late at night: I plunged into the crew and filmed it all day and night, but there was a commotion again and everyone had to prove themselves. It's a pity that the program has been going on for six years, but it has not caught the attention of others. How can I get a glimpse of the whole picture through a tube, and how can I know the long-term success of the program.

Afterwards, he sent another smiley face, saying jokingly that he had written a limerick late at night and asked people not to laugh at him.

Lu Yanhe @Su Xiao in "Young Days": I was filming recently and didn't have my phone with me. I just learned about the recent controversy from my assistant and responded late.

Su Xiao: Alas, I asked you to respond. I’m sorry for getting you into this trouble.

Lu Yanhe: Who hasn't been involved in an unexpected disaster? I'm stunned. You are so famous, but in the eyes of some media with water in their brains, your achievements are worthless.

Su Xiao: It’s because I have been acting in idol dramas all the time, at the bottom of the food chain.

Lu Yanhe: There are so many people acting in idol dramas, but I haven’t seen anyone more popular than you.

Su Xiao's idol dramas are really more talked-about than the last, and they are really popular. Every drama can create a popular male star, or even two. In this era of boasting about all kinds of data, the only criterion for testing whether a drama is popular or not seems to be whether it creates a popular star.

Su Xiao: Well, recently a very good movie approached me, but because it would take half a year to shoot in one go and the pay was very low, the company firmly disagreed with me taking the role. And not just movies, basically the roles they offered me were limited to idol dramas.

It's not anything else, it's because Su Xiao can get the highest pay for idol dramas, which is one-third higher than the pay for other types of dramas.

This is the appeal that Su Xiao has accumulated in the field of idol dramas.

Liu Zhiyin: Touch it.

Su Xiao: Sister Zhiyin, why haven’t you slept yet?

It's actually already one in the morning.

Liu Zhiyin: The plane just landed and I just took a nap on the plane.

Su Xiao: A true model worker.

Liu Zhiyin: Do you want to act in other dramas? You don't like to act in idol dramas?
Su Xiao: No, I really like acting in idol dramas, but people always say that I am always stuck in the idol drama circle.

Li Zhibai: Hey, just like me, in the eyes of others, I can only act in romantic comedies.

Su Xiao: Your situation is much better than mine, so stop playing the victim, okay?
Liu Zhiyin: But it takes half a year to shoot a movie, and the pay is still very low. For an actor on the rise like Xiaoxiao, the cost-effectiveness is indeed a bit low. If the movie fails, these half years will be wasted.

Su Xiao: That’s what the company told me. They also said that even if I were to act in a movie, my acting skills would only be good enough.

Liu Zhiyin: What a crappy company yours is.

Su Xiao: However, I also know myself well. I am indeed good at playing that kind of life drama. If I were asked to replace someone else and play a role that is not like me, I really would not be able to act that well.

Lu Yanhe: Putting aside the outside world’s evaluation of you, do you want to try new genres yourself?

Su Xiao: Do ​​you have a role for me? If you do, I'd be willing to do it. If it was from another company... To be honest, if it wasn't for a crew that looked awesome, I'd be nervous and wouldn't dare to do it. I know I'm not a very good actor.

Lu Yanhe: To be honest, I have worked on so many projects, but there is really no major role that suits you.

Su Xiao: Because I look like a girl next door, right?
Lu Yanhe:? What?

Su Xiao: Many directors said that I could only play the cute type of girl and that I was not suitable for costume dramas, so I didn’t shoot many costume dramas.

Most of her plays are contemporary idol dramas.

Lu Yanhe: If that’s the case, don’t force yourself to change career path right away. You’re acting in idol dramas and have such great results. You’re unique and you’re the queen of idol dramas. Why would you be influenced by those people?

Su Xiao: It's all your fault. You have single-handedly squeezed us young actors to death. Not winning an award becomes our original sin, even though we are only in our twenties!
Lu Yanhe: Bow and apologize.

Su Xiao: It’s okay, don’t worry about what they say. I know that when you choose actors for your projects, you must base it on suitability. That is, you don’t make idol dramas, otherwise, no one is more suitable than me.

Xiao Yun: What if I die?

Su Xiao: Why... are you here too?

Xiao Yun: I got up to go to the bathroom and saw you guys kept sending messages.

Su Xiao: You also ran into this.

Lu Yanhe: To be honest, Su Xiao is more suitable for acting in idol dramas than Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun: Haha, that’s because you didn’t give me the chance. Don’t think that I can only play a female hero.

Li Zhibai: You can also play the role of Shadaha.

Xiao Yun: Looking for death?
Li Zhibai: You can also play a tomboy.

Xiao Yun: Tomorrow I’ll let you know what a tomboy is.

Lu Yanhe: How about I write an idol drama script for the two of you? How about you two compete?

Xiao Yun: What the hell?

Su Xiao:?
Lu Yanhe: I have indeed never written an idol drama before, but I can give it a try.

Although Lu Yanhe himself is not a fan of idol dramas, he happened to have experienced a period when idol dramas were booming.

I also watched many idol dramas with his mother.

The one that impressed him the most was "I May Not Love You". To some extent, he felt that this drama had gone beyond the scope of an idol drama, but in essence it was still an idol drama.

He was very moved at the time.

Besides that, what about "It Started with a Kiss" and "Fall in Love with You"...

Well, that's it. He really doesn't watch a lot of them, and he can watch even less of them. He is really not an audience for idol dramas.

Lu Yanhe suddenly felt that he had talked too much.

He has never watched an idol drama with two female protagonists.

Is there such an idol drama?

It seems that idol dramas basically don't have two male protagonists or two female protagonists. The basic operation is that there may be some bloody and lingering feelings between the male No. 1, the male No. 2, the female No. 1, and the female No. 2, but in the end, the male No. 1 and the female No. 1 will definitely be together, and the male No. 2 will definitely be with the female No. 2.

On the contrary, there is a Japanese drama that quite meets his needs, called "White Line Flow".

At that time, Lu Yanhe chose to watch this Japanese drama because it starred the two young actors in "Love Letter" and he treated it as a spin-off of "Love Letter".

Of course, this drama still tells a youth love story, which is also very classic.

However, Lu Yanhe basically no longer remembers the plot and can no longer be a "plagiarist".

Oops……

Su Xiao: Yan He, do you really want to try writing an idol drama?

Lu Yanhe: It’s not that it’s impossible, I just don’t know how it will look when it is written.

Xiao Yun: I’m jealous.

Lu Yanhe: What are you jealous of?
Xiao Yun: You tailored the script specifically for Su Xiao.

Lu Yanhe: Who wrote the "Wulin Waijia" that you starred in?
Xiao Yun: The role of Guo Furong was not tailor-made for me. Lu Yanhe: ...

Lu Yanhe was suddenly stunned.

and many more.

Speaking of which——

There is a movie that is really suitable for Xiao Yun.

"..."

With a personality like Xiao Yun, among the actresses Lu Yanhe knows, who are also of this age, she is the only one who can play the role.

"My Sassy Girl".

Su Xiao's style is actually closer to another Korean actress Lu Yanhe knows, Son Ye-jin. The movie she starred in, "If You Were Me", was a tear-jerker despite its melodramatic tone.

Lu Yanhe took a breath of cold air.

He hesitated for a moment, then @苏晓, wrote: "If Love Has Destiny". Then @萧云, wrote: "My Sassy Girl".

He said: I'll write down this idea that just popped into my mind.

Xiao Yun: What is this? What is a wild girlfriend? You want me to play a wild girlfriend? Why don’t you write a fairy girlfriend for me?
Lu Yanhe: No, we can’t chat anymore. I have to go to bed and recharge my energy so I can continue filming tomorrow.

Ever since being dissed by Liu Bige, Lu Yanhe has been working very conscientiously on the set. He dares not be lazy or perfunctory.

Honestly number one.

Xiao Yun:? ? ?
Xiao Yun: You can’t keep me in suspense, right?

Xiao Yun: Holy shit? He really just slept like that?
Xiao Yun: No way?

Xiao Yun: Be a human being, how can I sleep tonight? !
Xiao Yun: At least tell me, are you really going to write a script for me?

Xiao Yun: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Li Zhibai: Go to bed quickly, you're making so much noise.

Xiao Yun: You will die tomorrow.

Still remembering the grudge against the "tomboy".
-
After entering September, the crew and actors of "Ding Feng No. 1" began to wrap up the filming one after another.

Liu Bige's films are basically shot in chronological order, following the order in which the plot of the script develops.

There are fewer and fewer actors in the crew.

Zhou Ruo also finished filming.

This is the loneliest film Lu Yanhe has ever shot.

When Zhou Ruo was around, there was still a Zhou Ruo who could talk to him. But after Zhou Ruo finished filming, there was no one left.

This was also done deliberately by Lu Yanhe.

He is in such a situation in the movie, and outside of the movie, he also hopes to immerse himself in this environment.

Every day, Wang Biao watched Lu Yanhe leave the hotel. From the moment he got in the car, he would put himself into character and stay in that state all day long. He didn't look at his phone or talk to others. Most of the time, he was alone, like a ghost, standing in a corner. Only after work, when he was on the way back in the car, and listened to music, would he allow himself to come out of the character state.

This kind of switching back and forth has never happened to Lu Yanhe when he was filming other dramas.

He doesn't need to use this form to enter and exit the play.

Wang Biao actually couldn't quite tell why the difficulty of Dingfeng No. 1 was greater than that of Lu Yanhe's other dramas.

Wang Biao even felt that Lu Yanhe's acting skills didn't seem to be that explosive in many cases in this movie. However, he had to admit that Lu Yanhe often gave him the feeling of being a "completely different person".

The look in his eyes is different.

It is not through some metaphysical changes in facial expressions, tone and rhythm, but through some unexpected moments.

Wang Biao is a veteran actor who has seen many so-called "plastic surgery-style acting skills".

They seem to be able to completely change their acting style for each role. That's great, of course, but you often feel that, well, the traces of acting are a bit heavy.

Just like the scene at the end of the movie "May 12", where Natalie Portman imitates Julianne Moore. If you just watch it, you will think it is a good and impressive performance, but when you think back to Julianne Moore's scene, you will suddenly find out what is life and what is acting. Most of the "plastic surgery acting" is actually "acting of the actor".

Lu Yanhe didn't want to deliberately change himself in every aspect.

It is impossible for a person to completely transform himself into another person. This accumulation over the years has formed inertia in the body and limbs, which cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Therefore, when Lu Yanhe performs, unless it is certain specific roles and scenes, his aesthetics and pursuit are not to make wide-ranging adjustments within a large span, but to create a moment of strangeness on a large and general daily common denominator.

Just like everyone - ordinary people who are not actors, there must be moments in daily life that make people around them feel extremely strange.

This is what Lu Yanhe is pursuing.

It was after realizing this that Lu Yanhe understood why Liu Bige said that his performance was not of good quality until it was discovered in the editing room.

Because there is definitely no problem with his "broad-based" images, but Liu Bige can no longer find those moments in the camera that seem to condense the screen into eternity.

That moment is something that Lu Yanhe can only encounter after going through countless trials and tribulations.

For Lu Yanhe, all he can come across are techniques and acting skills, which can even be described as superb acting skills, but they are definitely not art.

Because art cannot be copied.

Lu Yanhe is this type of actor.

Just like the widely praised ending of "Comrades: Almost a Love Story", Maggie Cheung's smile and tear.

She herself could not replicate it.

There are many types of actors, including good actors, but top actors must have some kind of "uniqueness".

Of course, different good actors, when it comes to good performances, actually all have the same goal.

The key is to find your own path to a good performance.

Lu Yanhe was lucky and found it very early.
-
Wen Shengming watched with his own eyes as Lu Yanhe in this play walked into a realm that almost no young people had ever reached, without paying any attention to the people around them.

He found it difficult to describe his feelings.

He has always felt that acting certainly requires talent, and some actors can give performances that will go down in history when they are still in their teens.

However, to evaluate an actor from a broader perspective, we must look at what kind of performance aesthetics he has formed over his long career.

Wen Shengming has always believed this.

So, whether you have won the Best Actor award once or twice, or are gifted and highly praised, they are all shooting stars.

The actors he truly respects are those who have “heard the truth.”

He practices this philosophy himself and also looks at other actors in this way.

Lu Yanhe himself didn't say it, but Wen Shengming knew very well that Lu Yanhe was the kind of person whose talent had reached a certain terrifying height, and who used an almost cruel rationality to break through the ordinary goodness of performance and reach an unprecedented moment of eternity.

Every morning, Lu Yanhe would come to have breakfast with him as promised.

When the two of them had breakfast, they rarely discussed personal matters outside the crew.

But they would chat about foreign movies and foreign actors from time to time.

If we talk about it, we will inevitably talk about everyone's performance concept. In their minds, what kind of actor is a good actor——

The answer means each person’s performance aesthetic.

They will not have any disputes or quarrels.

There are different opinions, but they are just mentioned at the right time. Then, they compete with each other in their respective performance aesthetics.

This was an unspoken consensus between the two of them.

Liu Bigo didn't know either.

All we can see is that the scenes between Wen Shengming and Lu Yanhe are becoming more and more like a "four ounces to move a thousand pounds" effect, precise, without fireworks, only silent confrontation.

Just like their roles in the play.

Then, finally, the filming of "Dingfeng No. 1" was completed.
-
The rain is falling gently.

The sky is blue.

After Liu Bige announced the completion of the filming, the crew members all breathed a sigh of relief and their faces were filled with joy.

The busy life on the crew has come to an end, and everyone can have a good rest for some time.

Lu Yanhe and Wen Shengming stood in the corridor at the same time, watching the rain.

Rain fell from the courtyard.

Everyone was coming and going, loading and unloading things.

Wen Shengming suddenly asked: "After the filming is finished, what are you going to do?"

Lu Yanhe turned his head, smiled at him, and said, "There are several screenwriting projects to be promoted."

Wen Shengming nodded.

The conversation stopped.

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button.

After a while, Wen Shengming continued seamlessly as if no pause had ever happened.

"It's been a long time since I felt oppressed by others when I was acting." Wen Shengming said with a smile, "You will be amazing in the future."

Lu Yanhe: "Thank you for your guidance."

"I didn't give you any instructions, so I don't dare to take credit for it." Wen Shengming smiled, "Yan He, act well and be a good person. I will always watch over you."

Lu Yanhe looked at Wen Shengming with some surprise.

Wen Shengming nodded to him, turned and left.

There was no one around him, no assistant, no bodyguard, and no domineering aura that could be seen at first glance.

But his figure was solid.

After leaving, he still remained in Lu Yanhe's impression.
-
I recommend a new fantasy book called "The Demon-Catching Sword", which has 14 words.

It has been four months, and I have been writing 20 words a day. This has not affected my updates, and the number of words updated each month is over . I have not given up writing for fun. On the contrary, a completely different subject matter and story has made me very happy to write "Selecting a Day". Can you believe what I say now? (End of this chapter)
