Full-time actor

"disappointment?"

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have been better off saving my sister back then."

It has to be said, he can set the tone with just a few words.

The leaping flames reflected on Chen Yu's face, making his nonchalant demeanor absolutely captivating.

This is a play led by Chen Yu.

Snapped--

Yongmei slapped him, but perhaps because she wasn't quite ready to react emotionally, the person in front of her raised his hand somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sorry, I wasn't feeling well just now."

Chen Yu's existence is something that cannot be ignored.

Especially the honors he has received.

Putting everything else aside, acting opposite Chen Yu definitely puts a certain amount of pressure on you.

"Teacher Yongmei."

"There's no need to feel guilty. Li Yuanni's emotions must be on point in this scene."

"This emotion must be expressed through the slap."

That's right!

It wasn't simply a matter of disappointment and frustration, but rather a mix of guilt and pain that had been building up inside him for ten years.

She felt guilty towards Fang Deng; the helpless choice she made back then caused her to suffer from insomnia for more than a decade.

Therefore, this slap is crucial.

Yongmei nodded.

As for the crowd, their attention has once again been focused on the camera.

Chen Daoming looked at Chen Yu directly in front of him. No wonder he became a Grand Slam Best Actor; he takes his roles so seriously.

It's rare to see such a state in many actors.

Screen rotation.

Liu Yifei was lying on the bed, covering her face and crying bitterly. Her intermittent sobs struck a chord in everyone's hearts.

The current Liu Yifei has long since broken the curse of being just a pretty face.

This kind of role is completely out of their depth.

"Ya Ya, is your head hurting again?"

Liu Yifei covered her head and responded, clearly awakened by a nightmare.

"Come here, let Daddy pinch you."

Chen Daoming supported Liu Yifei's head; Liu Yifei didn't have many lines in this scene.

"Are you too stressed about the college entrance exam?"

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. The worst that can happen is that you won't pass the exam."

"Even if you go to university, there are still a lot of useless people in universities."

Liu Yifei remained silent.

The soft sobs and furrowed brows still revealed her bad mood.

"Nonsense!"

As Chen Daoming entered the room, Chen Jin's expression clearly showed displeasure.

You mean me?!

“The kids are all grown up, look at how you’re dressed.”

"Stop pretending to be ignorant."

Chen Yu looked at Chen Daoming on the monitor. The veteran actor was different; every movement and expression was quite realistic.

Especially when misunderstood by her adoptive mother, her subtle expressions.

All of this is enough to show people his mental state at this moment.

Separated by a wall.

Liu Yifei covered her ears tightly, the argument between her adoptive parents was clearly audible.

She felt a mix of emotions.

This feeling led her to ultimately enroll in Hangzhou Medical College, which was far from her home.

Chen Yu was standing at the door carrying large and small bags.

Yongmei's eyes were filled with reluctance as she stood behind Chen Yu, carrying her package, her heart also struggling with the decision.

Who else could take care of you like I do?

"It's different outside than at home."

Chen Yu stood in front of the camera, his face showing more helplessness and urgency.

He eventually gave up his studies.

Next, I'm going to venture out into the world.

"I just want to test whether I'm lucky or not. Otherwise, I'll never know."

Chen Yu's urgent tone when he spoke was somewhat amusing.

To fit the role in the film, he studied Tangshan dialect for a long time. He has always been responsible when it comes to acting.

"Such a big place like Tangshan can't even hold you?"

"Tangshan University? You've been watching TV for nothing!"

“Those people from the mountains have already made it to Shenzhen, while I haven’t even been to Shijiazhuang yet.”

finally.

Chen Yu resolutely left with his large and small bags.

As for Yongmei, she slammed the door shut behind her.

She feared that if she hesitated any longer, she wouldn't be able to accept the loss of her son.

"OK."

"Halftime."

Liu Yifei had already walked over, a faint smile on her fair and round face.

When she looked at Chen Yu, her eyes shone brightly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Chen Yu reached out and gently pinched Liu Yifei's nose. That's how acting is; during filming, you have to completely imagine yourself as the character in the play.

Only by integrating with it can you better leverage its advantages.

"Tangshan University? You've been watching TV for nothing!"

Liu Yifei mimicked Chen Yu's tone, clearly indicating that the scene had left her somewhat amused and exasperated.

"A joke about me?"

Chen Yu tickled Liu Yifei, while Chen Daoming had already walked over.

"You are truly blessed by God."

The sound interrupted the conversation between Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

When I turned my head to look, Chen Daoming was standing not far away.

"have to say."

"Your scenes feel really natural, like they're not acting."

Chen Daoming wasn't using the role to flatter Chen Yu.

In all his years in the industry, he has rarely seen a young actor who can grasp all the roles so clearly.

He has no problem with the progression and switching of emotions.

It's unbelievable that some people are born to act.

Even Chen Daoming felt somewhat inferior at this moment.

Faced with the words of the person in front of her, Liu Yifei smiled and looked at Chen Yu.

"Teacher Daoming, you flatter me."

"There is so much I can learn from you. I just saw your performance on the monitor and I really admire you."

"Especially the subtle changes in facial expressions."

I really have to give you a thumbs up.

The two men's mutual flattery made Liu Yifei sigh helplessly.

Only after Chen Daoming left did Liu Yifei look over dejectedly.

"And me? Didn't my wordless performance just now deserve your thumbs up?"

Chen Yu smiled and casually pulled Liu Yifei toward the monitor.

"Then let's enjoy your wonderful performance."

Liu Yifei clearly showed resistance; this was obviously a public execution.

only.

It was too late to leave at that moment. The two sat in front of the monitor, watching the footage frame by frame.

The following scenes are crucial.

Similarly, most of the turning points in this drama revolve around Liu Yifei.

But that will happen in a couple of days.

Today's scenes are almost finished filming; it's time to handle the minor details of the other main actors' scenes.

"Brother Yu, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

Everyone is eager to communicate with Chen Yu. If they could connect with this Grand Slam Best Actor, they would definitely be in a great position in the future.

As for Wang Jingchun...

He is the only person on the field who has worked with Chen Yu twice.

Only he can bring this up.

Everyone looked at Chen Yu with anticipation.

Liu Yifei naturally sensed everyone's expectations. Compared to the group dinner, Liu Yifei preferred to spend some time alone with Chen Yu.

but.

The main cast and crew members need to get to know each other as soon as possible.

Although everyone knew each other normally, there was no reason to refuse the invitation. "Okay."

"Then let's meet at Hongyan Restaurant."

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

The group arrived at Hongyan Restaurant in a grand procession.

As a long-established brand in Tangshan's catering industry, Hongyan Restaurant has hosted countless celebrities and artists.

Chen Yu booked the entire venue.

Their presence here is very likely to cause a sensation.

After all, it was common knowledge that they were filming in Tangshan.

The group took their seats.

Yongmei and Liu Yifei sat on either side of Chen Yu.

As the two most important women to Chen Yu in this drama, they naturally deserve such preferential treatment.

"I'd like to raise a glass to Brother Yu."

"It's really a very happy thing to work with Brother Yu again."

Wang Jingchun drank it all in one gulp.

Although he had relatively few scenes in this drama.

Most of it was interspersed in his memories, but that still made him content.

Chen Yu wrote, directed, and acted in few scripts.

However, they all achieved good results.

Just by watching "Better Days", you can see the talent behind it.

In addition, there's "The Grand Budapest Hotel," which hasn't been released yet, so people don't know much about the plot.

The fact that it has driven those guys in Hollywood so crazy is enough to prove the quality of this work.

I believe it will definitely be a masterpiece.

In addition, the film "Aftershock" garnered a lot of attention as soon as it was released.

At the time, it was the subject of much discussion.

Adding to the mix was the Wenzhou earthquake, and the film was already generating a lot of buzz even before it started shooting.

In particular, Chen Yu's extravagant spending of hundreds of millions of yuan.

Who in the entire entertainment industry has such courage and boldness?
That's right, only Chen Yu!
So even if he appears as a dead man, Wang Jingchun is enough.

"It's fate that brings us all together."

Chen Yu drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and the others followed suit.

Yongmei sat beside Chen Yu.

During the filming process, Chen Yu did indeed provide her with a lot of help.

Compared to her previous ease in filming, she clearly struggled a bit when facing Chen Yu.

Fortunately, Chen Yu did not show any emotion.

After each performance, they can get together to communicate.

The other members of the crew began to step forward.

He toasted Chen Yu.

Their biggest expectation for this dinner party was Chen Yu.

During filming, everyone put in their best effort to perform, all in order to impress Chen Yu.

"Brother Yu, with you leading the way, this film is definitely going to be a success!"

Lu Yi raised his wine glass. Compared to this person who was ten years younger than him, he truly felt inferior.

Some people have already won the Grand Slam right after graduation.

As for him now, his most popular works are probably only a handful.

After three rounds of drinking.

The atmosphere on the field remained intense, and Liu Yifei's face was flushed; she was equally excited in this lively atmosphere.

Chen Yu reached out and patted Liu Yifei on the shoulder.

The latter belatedly looked up and noticed the sly look on the person's face.

Everything that needed to be celebrated has already been celebrated.

Now is the time for them to escape together.

The two returned to the hotel.

The intense filming didn't tire them out; on the contrary, the celebratory party that evening was what kept them going.

Liu Yifei collapsed onto the bed.

I was so sleepy that I couldn't even keep my eyelids open.

I was just barely holding on, but now—

"Get up and take a shower."

The sound of Chen Yu's voice reached Liu Yifei's ears, making her look utterly hopeless.

Chen Yu carried her into the bathroom.

Liu Yifei gently closed her eyes.

"Honey, after we finish filming 'Aftershock,' can we have another vacation?"

Seeing Liu Yifei's dreamlike words, Chen Yu felt quite helpless.

Looks like this little girl is looking for another chance to sneak away.

but.

After finishing filming "Aftershock", their workload probably increased rather than decreased.

That's right.

It's time for "Black Coal, Thin Ice" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" to be released.

Bruce Lee and The Dark Knight should also be attending the awards ceremony.

For them, there was absolutely no free time ahead.

Besides.

There's another rather special thing happening this year.

Golden Horse Awards Ceremony.

The 2008 Golden Horse Awards ceremony was full of highlights.

However, this time it probably has little to do with Chen Yu.

They carried Liu Yifei out of the pool.

The person in my arms slightly opened their eyes.

Eyes rolling.

After having a few drinks, Liu Yifei looked even more radiant.

Nip any ulterior motives in the bud.

After all, they still have filming to do, and Liu Yifei's scenes will be more demanding tomorrow, so they naturally can't do anything that might affect their performance.

the next day.

Liu Yifei sat up in bed, feeling refreshed. She had thought that she might have a splitting headache today because she had been drinking last night.

Surprisingly, it's going to be easier than I expected.

"Honey, get up."

Chen Yu had some insomnia yesterday. Seeing the person in his arms sleeping soundly, he suddenly lost his sleepiness.

The two headed to the filming location.

The crew of the film "Tangshan Earthquake".

The main cast and crew have gathered together and are discussing their upcoming scenes.

Compared to the relaxation I experienced last night.

Everyone is on high alert today.

Filming the Tangshan earthquake was a way for them to console a part of the nation's grief, and naturally they had to take it with the utmost seriousness.

Especially Yongmei.

In this film, she is undoubtedly the soul of the movie.

So much so that in her spare time she would communicate with TS citizens who worked as extras.

Those who experienced the Tangshan earthquake firsthand would obviously draw her in more deeply.

"Are you ready?"

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei in front of him.

In the next two scenes, Liu Yifei has a significant amount of screen time.

From the death of her adoptive mother to becoming pregnant out of wedlock.

These two things combined are enough to shatter a person's beliefs.

Next comes the test of acting skills.

Everyone turned to look in their direction; they had already witnessed Liu Yifei's acting skills firsthand.

Chen Nian in "Better Days" has already broken the label of "pretty face but no substance".

"Ready!"

Liu Yifei can be said to be always ready.

The way the state changed in an instant was what Chen Yu appreciated most.

No matter how comfortable Liu Yifei is in her state, she can instantly adjust her state as soon as she starts working.

Chen Yu sat down in front of the monitor once again.

He had no complaints about Liu Yifei's acting skills.

Aside from a few minor issues, Liu Yifei is already quite adept at acting.

"The two of you are the ones I care about most in this life."

"But you two—"

"None of them want to be with me!" (End of Chapter)
