Full-time actor

"Click——"

Ralph Fiennes looked defeated, his eyes filled with embarrassment.

"The mood is not right."

Not only Chen Yu, but even the production crew could tell that Ralph Fiennes was clearly not in character.

"I might not have been in the zone just now."

Ralph Fiennes quickly offered an explanation, his mind completely on edge.

Even though he knew the script of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" by heart.

He still felt some pressure when the camera was pointed at him.

The results this time were mediocre.

Chen Yu could understand them. It wasn't just that the North American lead actors were a bit reserved; Chen Yu himself was also somewhat unaccustomed to being suddenly tied to them.

Perhaps it's because of the sudden change in identity.

Ultimately, it seems that no one has truly let loose yet.

"Take it easy."

"I can give everyone plenty of time to adapt."

Everyone knows that film crews burn through money every minute and every second once they start shooting.

but--

Chen Yu had no shortage of money.

Compared to the expenditure of resources and manpower, he pursues the perfection of his work more.

It must be said that Chen Yu was quite magnanimous.

"Everyone, get into a good mood first. Ralph and Swinton will be filming a scene together in a bit."

Chen Yu issued the order.

If we had known it would be like this, we should have given them some time to get to know each other before filming started.

only.

Everyone had just returned from filming on another set, so time was indeed a bit tight.

We could only work out the process while filming.

Ralph Fiennes sat limply in a lounge chair.

The makeup artist has come over to help touch up the makeup.

In contrast, the other actors were equally unsettled.

Liu Yifei sat to the side; she didn't have any scenes yet, so it seemed that the priority today was to get everyone in a good mood.

Fortunately, today's announcement was just a warm-up act, and there were no other scenes scheduled.

And so, the day's filming came to an end.

Everyone was exhausted, but the response wasn't very good.

Chen Yu looked at everyone.

You should know that anyone picked out from here could become a movie star or actress.

Normal filming should be a breeze for them.

However, today's filming went smoothly.

Visible fatigue.

Fortunately, foreigners are good at regulating their emotions, so even if there is something important the next day, it won't affect their nighttime revelry.

"I'll arrange the location."

"Let's all have some fun together."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, everyone was naturally delighted.

Today's scenes were indeed a bit difficult to adapt to; perhaps it would be better for them to communicate more privately.

Jeremy Dawson found a relatively secluded pub.

After work, there was less pressure when we got along.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei abandoned their reserve.

What followed was a harmonious atmosphere, with a group of people sitting around the table.

The sizzling aroma of grilled meat is irresistible.

"Chan, let me toast you first."

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity to play Gustav."

"However, I hope you can forgive my performance today."

Chen Yu raised his wine cup and then drank it all in one gulp.

This marks the first collaboration between the US and China, and he holds a position with full authority.

These actors will more or less find it difficult to adapt.

"We haven't had a chance to celebrate Chan winning the Golden Lion yet."

"Been-overdue congratulations."

Everyone raised their glasses, which really livened up the atmosphere.

"Chan's strength is beyond doubt."

"His new film has broken through the box office records for art films, making him the first person to achieve this!"

"..."

What should have been a proper opening banquet was turned into Chen Yu's victory celebration.

But I don't care about anything else.

As long as the subsequent filming goes smoothly, there will naturally be no problems.

Edward Norton was clearly enjoying his drink.

After three rounds of drinking.

Chen Yu raised his wine glass.

"Today we are brought together by 'The Grand Budapest Hotel,' and I hope that everyone can devote themselves wholeheartedly to it from now on."

"To create brilliance."

Everyone drank their drinks in one gulp. Liu Yifei sat next to Chen Yu, her face flushed.

Fortunately.

None of the actors in this production crew displayed any hostility.

To be precise, Chen Yu's popularity completely surpasses theirs. Even though they are relatively famous in the industry, they are still no match for Chen Yu.

It's approaching midnight.

Then everyone dispersed.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei returned to the hotel, their earlier drunkenness completely gone.

"Everyone may not be fully in the zone yet today."

"After a full day of filming and spending time together tonight, things should be better tomorrow."

Although Liu Yifei said this, she still felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

She was fully aware of the atmosphere on set today.

It always makes people feel a bit stressed.

The relaxed atmosphere that existed when filming "Black Coal, Thin Ice" was not present.

"Filming requires adjustment; we also needed time to adapt when we joined a production before."

"It's just that my fame is so great in China that many things become very easy!"

But now, Hollywood actors also have their pride.

I hope so.

Chen Yu knew that both Ralph Fiennes and Edward Norton would become increasingly powerful in the future.

The roles he played were of paramount importance, and he even won an Oscar for Best Actor.

Her acting skills are, of course, exceptional.

Chen Yu believed in them, and that the filming was only a matter of time.

They'll eventually find their rhythm.

only--

Chen Yu's idea failed for the first time, and the filming results over the next few days were not ideal.

Everyone was full of enthusiasm.

However, during the actual filming, Chen Yu could find flaws to varying degrees.

It's so painful!

He locked himself in the dressing room. If things continued like this, he would never shine as brightly as he had in his previous life.

They really nailed the acting.

However, it doesn't feel very refined.

Even watching the monitor made me feel drowsy at times.

This situation is not a good sign for them.

As for Chen Yu, what he needs to think about now is how to liven up the atmosphere at the scene.

The plot of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" kept playing in my mind.

The plot of the movie is already familiar to everyone.

He had read it countless times in his previous life, and he knew the lines by heart.

Squeak!

Liu Yifei pushed open the door.

What caught the eye was Chen Yu's furrowed brows.

It's clear that the filming schedule these past few days hasn't gone smoothly.

Not to mention Chen Yu, even Liu Yifei was in a bit of a mess.

If this continues, it's uncertain when the filming will be completed.

I sighed subconsciously.

Chen Yu suddenly reacted.

Got it!

He came up with a solution, though he wasn't sure if it would work, but he had no choice but to try it out.

We can't keep dragging this on any longer.

The production team needs to develop a strong chemistry!

"Lily, go and call Dawson in."

He spoke to his assistant, and shortly afterward, Jeremy Dawson appeared in the dressing room.

As the coordinator of this production, there are some things that naturally need to be discussed with him.

The other main actors naturally noticed this situation.

They're not stupid; they can definitely sense that the atmosphere on set has been a bit off these past few days.

But I can't quite put my finger on what the problem is.

However, they have done their best.

Everyone is actually very serious.

But I always feel like something's missing?

"I'm going to revise the filming schedule."

Chen Yu's words surprised Jeremy Dawson.

Why did I suddenly have such a thought?

They are currently filming according to schedule, and changing the filming plan could very likely affect the other actors.

Here is an explanation of the situation of the film crew over the past few days.

In fact, Jeremy Dawson was not unaware of it.

It's clear that the lead actors worked very hard, knowing this was a rare opportunity. The script for this production is truly outstanding.

In essence, they have no problems at all.

If they suddenly change their plans, it will cause their current situation to collapse.

"I plan to film the climax scenes first."

"This will maximize their enthusiasm."

"So far, the response to these scenes has been somewhat less than ideal."

"If this laziness continues—"

Chen Yu didn't say what he was going to say next, but Jeremy Dawson could understand it.

"Perhaps we can give it a try."

"However, the effectiveness is still unknown."

After all, a sudden disruption to the plan, aside from the situation Chen Yu mentioned, could very likely directly lower everyone's confidence.

"So, which scene are you planning to film first tomorrow?"

Chen Yu looked over at Jeremy Dawson's words.

"train."

Jeremy Dawson naturally understood the meaning behind those two simple words.

"I will convey my thoughts to Ralph Fiennes, and I believe he can do it."

"Thank you so much for your help, props team. I'll give you a raise!"

"Ok!"

Jeremy Dawson shrugged and then left the dressing room.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jeremy Dawson called Ralph Fiennes aside.

This action attracted everyone's attention.

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu.

"Dawson is right. Won't a sudden disruption to the filming schedule affect them?"

Chen Yu simply smiled and remained silent.

As for the outcome, we'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.

……

the next day.

The group arrived at the film set early, and perhaps after noticing Chen Yu and Jeremy Dawson's private conversation, they went to find Ralph Fiennes.

Everyone is wondering what might happen today.
"Ralph, are you ready?"

"After I finish my makeup, we'll start the climax scene on the train."

what? !

Those present looked over.

So suddenly?

"..."

Ralph Fiennes nodded; he had gone back and read the script again last night.

The shooting order was suddenly changed, so we had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.

Chen Yu was the director.

He decides which segment to shoot.

Based on this, Ralph Fiennes had no objections, but he still harbored some resentment in his heart.

The rest of the audience are really looking forward to the scenes between the two.

Both Chen Yu and Ralph Fiennes possess an extreme sense of madness when filming.

The entire crew was quite curious.

As for Ralph Fiennes, putting aside the pressure of the moment just now, he actually wanted to know what it would be like to act in front of this Grand Slam Best Actor.
During this period, Chen Yu was the one observing him.

He wanted to personally experience the true strength of this internationally renowned superstar.

The footage was from an audition and doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Then comes the hunting season.

Even if he were facing a Grand Slam Best Actor winner, he would not back down in the slightest.

"Ralph, how are you feeling right now?"

Edward Norton asked instinctively, "Ralph Fiennes and Chen Yu have the most scenes together in this movie."

"I feel pressured."

"But I'm more excited about it."

"Being able to act alongside Chan is also a kind of experience for me."

Chen Yu naturally overheard their conversation.

Next, he was more excited than anyone else.

Whether or not it changes the current situation as he said, he will give his all in this scene.

***
"Everyone in his place."

"The Grand Budapest Hotel, Day Seven, Show One."

"Action!"

Snapped!
The staff were all ready to go and returned to their posts.

In the lens.

Ralph Fiennes has already gotten into form early on.

"it's all my fault."

"She kept trying to tell me she had a premonition, but I didn't believe her."

"Luz must be very sad."

“She hates her terrible and hypocritical children.”

"They won't even greet you properly."

Chen Yu sat down in front of Ralph Fiennes.

bang bang bang!
The sound of the train hitting the tracks echoed in their ears, and the pure white snow was reflected in their vision.

Ralph Fiennes is holding a glass of champagne.

He looked out the window thoughtfully.

As for Chen Yu, he nodded in response to Ralph Fiennes's words.

His eyes held a thoughtful expression, perfectly conveying a sense of caution and meticulousness.

As stateless undocumented individuals.

In that cannibalistic society, life was indeed lived in constant fear.

Chen Yu's expressive eyes are absolutely amazing.

His hunched shoulders further conveyed his tension.

Compared to Ralph Fiennes's wandering gaze, Chen Yu was completely unaffected.

"She's incredibly passionate in bed."

Ralph Fiennes said this calmly, showing no intention of downing the champagne in his hand.

A hint of confusion flashed across Chen Yu's face.

After a moment, he calmed down again, his fingers unconsciously gripping his pants.

“She is 84 years old, Mr. Gustave.”

boom--

As soon as the two finished speaking, the door in front of them was suddenly pulled open.

Several Nazi soldiers appeared before them.

"Brother, what's up?"

"Please show me your ID."

"I am glad to."

Ralph Fiennes finally put down his champagne, and everyone stared at Chen Yu in the camera. Although he didn't have many lines in this clip, his micro-expressions were impossible to ignore.

Ralph Fiennes took the documents back.

Chen Yu's fingers twisted together, and the document in his hand was worn out from being handled.

"This is a Class III immigrant work visa, Franz."

"He was with me."

Ignoring Ralph Fiennes's words, the Nazi soldier in front of him glared at Chen Yu.

"Please come out for a moment."

Chen Yu's gaze swept over Ralph Fiennes, and the meaning behind it was palpable.

He was calling for help.

This prompted Ralph Fiennes to sigh.

No wonder he's a Grand Slam Best Actor.

The subtle shift in their gazes over a single day speaks volumes.

Even though he had no lines, his embarrassment and panic were palpable.

"Stop, you bastard."

Chen Yu was lifted up by Nazi soldiers.

“It’s alright, Mr. Gustav.”

"We'll just listen to them."

Amidst the chaos, Chen Yu's shouts carried a hint of desolation.

The English lines actually resonated with me!

As an undocumented person, his cowardice and panic were on full display during the verification process.

"..."

Liu Yifei covered her mouth in disbelief.

boom!
Chen Yu was slammed heavily against the wall.

The impact caused the blood sac that was already inside the nose to flow out.

Chen Yu has been losing weight for this role, which is why his schedule was scheduled so late in the day – all for the sake of the role.

Swish!
At this moment, Chen Yu turned his head and looked over.

Looking at Ralph Fiennes, there was a sense of déjà vu about compromise.

He simply gazed at Ralph Fiennes.

It conveys a sense of sorrow and resignation to fate.

"..."

Ralph Fiennes, an actor who spends most of his time filming, actually lost focus.

Yes!

He was stunned by that look in his eyes.

What a humble look that was.

He remembered what his teacher said when he was studying acting.

The best performances are always silent!

That statement is correct, and it's not just about Ralph Fiennes.

Everyone present was stunned by Chen Yu's dejected look, their scalps tingling with fear.

A close-up shot.

Chen Yu's micro-expressions were absolutely the icing on the cake.

Ralph Fienneston was briefly detained. (End of Chapter)
