Full-time actor

"Check the costumes and makeup."

"Filming is about to begin!"

The voice of the production assistant echoed throughout the film set, and the staff present had already returned to their respective posts.

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu, who had already changed his makeup and hairstyle.

His Zhongshan suit actually accentuated his heroic and upright appearance.

However, there was a hint of seriousness and ruthlessness in his eyes. Liu Yifei had seen this outfit before when she was trying on makeup; it was specially chosen by Jiang Wen and Zhang Shuping.

The purpose was to highlight the character's ruthlessness and cunning in the next scene.

Perhaps noticing Liu Yifei's situation, Chen Yu walked towards the person in front of him.

"How is it? Are you getting a little bored?"

Liu Yifei shook her head.

To be honest, being by Chen Yu's side is more fulfilling than anything else she does.

Jiang Wen and Ge You both changed their outfits.

The following scene revolves around the three main characters.

"Overbearing attitude! You're asking for death!"

Chow Yun-fat appeared on the monitor in a suit, his hand gripping the binoculars tightly in an instant.

Seeing that Jiang Wen was looking in his direction, Chow Yun-fat's expression turned noticeably unpleasant.

"They opened fire as soon as they entered the city."

"This is not something that can be dismissed with a 20/80 split."

"Preemptive strike?"

"No! Let's play around with him first."

"Let's play around with him~"

"Count the ball."

"Count the ball."

The cameraman turned the lens around, and Chow Yun-fat, now dressed in different clothes, sat back in his previous spot.

He was disheveled, and his hair was even tangled.

That's the image he had, staring blankly at the person in front of him.

"Go to hell with it."

Chow Yun-fat kicked the person in front of him directly into a chair, and then pulled out the tooth that was about to fall out.

"Hu Qian, pull out a few more of his teeth."

"Like me, all inlaid with gold."

Chow Yun-fat tossed aside the blood-stained tooth in his hand, his face radiating an air of shrewdness and confidence.

As the most powerful figure in Goose City, his authority was unshakeable.

present.

All four award-winning actors have made their appearances.

The story of "Let the Bullets Fly" officially begins.

Everyone sat together, discussing the next developments in the script.

In general.

The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" may seem simple, but it actually carries a subtle absurdity.

On the surface, it's a story about fighting against local bullies during the Beiyang warlord era.

However, judging from his actions of robbing trains and stealing official documents, Zhang Mazi's core demand was simply for fairness.

Everyone is being hypocritical and putting on an act; this misplacement of identities makes the whole film extremely ironic.

At a deeper level, it is nothing more than a reflection on fairness, revolution, and humanity.

On the first day of filming, we naturally couldn't rush through the scenes.

After finishing organizing today's scenes, Jiang Wen nodded in satisfaction.

Zhou Yun sat next to Liu Yifei.

After the intimate scene between Jiang Wen and Liu Jialing, Liu Yifei subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhou Yun beside her.

Seeing that Zhou Yun did not react much, but instead affirmed the performance of the two of them, he realized that Zhou Yun did not react much.

Perhaps noticing Liu Yifei's situation, Zhou Yun turned his head to look over.

Perhaps it comes from the sedimentation of time.

Zhou Yun exudes an innate openness and honesty.

This reminded Liu Yifei of the time when she was filming "Bruce Lee," and even though she repeatedly emphasized to herself that it was just acting, she still felt a little jealous.

Later, Liu Yifei could only suppress her thoughts.

Some scenes require specific plot points, and she absolutely cannot show any emotion.

"Alright, let's just let the bullets fly for now."

"knock off."

"Everyone, get ready, we're going to have hot pot in a bit."

Jiang Wen rubbed her face vigorously.

They were in good form today, perhaps because they are all top performers in the entertainment industry, to the point that they could basically get every take right on filming.

The staff members then began to organize their work.

They were naturally happy to accept this.

Chen Yu approached Liu Yifei, somewhat hesitant about whether to bring her to the film set the next day.

In comparison, life on set can be quite boring when we're not filming.

However, noticing that Liu Yifei was enjoying herself, Chen Yu swallowed the words that were about to come out.

They don't have many scenes in Huairou, the capital city; they should be moving on to Jiangmen in a few days.

The weather in Jiangmen is much better than in Beijing.

After all, November in the capital city is already late autumn and transitioning towards winter, resulting in a huge temperature difference between day and night.

Going for hot pot together would definitely be a good choice.

Full of wine and food.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei prepared to walk back to the hotel.

"Jason spoke to me on the phone this afternoon, and the filming location for 'Mulan' has been decided."

"Mainly in New Zealand and Xiangshan Film City in China."

Liu Yifei paused, and when she heard Chen Yu suddenly bring up this topic, her expression unconsciously became somewhat melancholy.

She was well aware of the situation that would arise once all preparations for filming were complete.

Chen Yu is currently filming "Let the Bullets Fly". After finishing filming in China, he will move to Los Angeles to film "Joker".

in this way.

The two of them will likely spend little time together.

Not to mention that the director has not yet been decided, even if Chen Yu is to direct, it will definitely only be a nominal position.

They had already anticipated a busy year ahead.

If it were to film "Mulan," Chen Yu would obviously be unable to be in two places at once.

The thought of this situation made Liu Yifei feel somewhat discouraged.

Chen Yu could naturally see the emotions of the person in front of him.

The two of them work together so that they can meet at the top.

Chen Yu had already made a general plan for their future.

Both "Joker" and "Mulan" will be stepping stones for them to fulfill their final promise.

Therefore, no one should make any compromises because of romantic feelings.

Chen Yu patted Liu Yifei on the shoulder, and the latter's emotions finally calmed down a lot.

"The pre-production phase will take a long time, and by the time filming starts, my scenes may already be finished."

This was clearly a comforting remark.

However, Liu Yifei found it quite useful.

"I know~"

"We go home."

The two continued walking towards the hotel.

Although Chen Yu's role in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" is small, he plays a crucial role in every scene.

It undoubtedly drives the core contradiction and embodies the theme.

and so--

Chen Yu definitely needs to be extremely careful.

The two returned to the hotel, took a quick shower, and went straight to bed to rest.

Tomorrow looks like it'll be another chaotic day.

……

After several days of filming, everyone was in great shape.

Especially for Liao Fan and Shao Bing, filming with these top-tier actors and actresses in the entertainment industry was like a top-notch practical training session.

Four Best Actor winners.

Each has its own merits.

Whether it's Chow Yun-fat's domineering presence, Jiang Wen's authority, Ge You's humor, or Chen Yu's versatility, it's like a grand melee of masters. The most important thing when acting alongside them is to resist being led by the nose.

Otherwise, in this situation, one will only completely lose oneself.

"Brother Yu, let me rehearse a scene with you."

When Xiao Liuzi's voice rang in his ears, Chen Yu looked up.

He casually put the script aside.

"it is good."

Although Chen Yu was not happy with Zhang Mo, he did not show excessive harshness.

However, she still felt somewhat distant from him, even though they had many scenes together.

after all.

Jiang Wen's biggest mistake in casting was probably providing Zhang Mo with this opportunity and platform.

As a result, in later promotions and re-releases...

Anything involving him, including his image or name, becomes relatively sensitive, and media reporters tend to downplay or avoid mentioning it.

Ultimately, this ruined his acting career.

In short, if you don't court death, you won't die.

Zhang Mo looked at Chen Yu in front of him. He was a few years older than the man in front of him, but in terms of career, he was in no way inferior to him.

Even though he is a second-generation star, his father is a well-known actor who specializes in playing emperors.

It can be said that he has access to far more resources than the average actor.

However, these were all just a piece of cake in front of Chen Yu.

Just thinking about the real power Chen Yu now holds makes Zhang Mo eager to get closer to him.

Jingle Bell--

The phone rang, breaking the brief silence.

"Answer the phone."

Chen Yu swiped open his phone and noticed the contact name on it.

It's Jason Reed.

The two have been discussing the pre-production of "Mulan" for the past few days and have specially hired consultants specializing in Chinese history, martial arts, and etiquette.

To ensure the accuracy of cultural elements, Chen Yu directly established a cultural advisory group.

in this way.

The upcoming filming will definitely be much easier.

"Hello, Jason."

Jiang Wen was sitting not far away, and after hearing Chen Yu's voice, she looked over.

In the past few days, Chen Yu has been handling some work from time to time.

Fortunately, it won't delay their filming.

Sometimes they can even help him with the overall composition of the image.

have to say.

Having Chen Yu by my side is truly a blessing.

They take on a lot of investment.

Even as a Grand Slam Best Actor winner, I would never recommend playing a minor supporting role in his movies.

In addition, it can also help those around them get into character from time to time.

Why not?
For Jiang Wen, Chen Yu was absolutely the greatest blessing bestowed upon him by heaven.

"Hey! Chan."

“I agree with the grueling training you mentioned a few days ago. We have already communicated with the martial arts consultant, and training may begin at the end of the month.”

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei beside him, who was busy helping him adjust his costume.

End of month.

There are only a few days left.

Liu Yifei was naturally aware of Chen Yu's arrangements, and she had no objections to them.

As a major IP film, "Mulan" cannot afford to be neglected in any aspect.

Jason Reed had already begun preparing for filming after they finalized the collaboration in September.

From researching the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty to military verification, it was an extremely meticulous operation spanning multiple countries.

Liu Yifei dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Even though casting hasn't started yet, she still has to take responsibility for her role.

Besides martial arts and physical fitness, equestrian and military-style training should be perfected.

Moreover, they must diligently study the script and research the historical background, adhering to the most stringent standards in every aspect.

The empire that Chen Yu fought for her.

Whether she can hold on now depends on her own strength.

Why should the love between parents and children be limited to every day and night?
"Then proceed as planned. We can start with individualized training for it."

"For example, some basic and extreme physical fitness aspects of equestrianism."

"Once you've sorted out everything, we'll start casting."

The casting for the movie "Mulan" must be done very carefully.

Actually.

In Chen Yu's mind, all the characters already existed.

have to say.

This is absolutely a top-tier lineup of Chinese-American superstars.

Gong Li, Donnie Yen, and Jet Li.

Any one of them, if brought out, possesses absolute international appeal and guaranteed acting skills.

This lineup, however, failed to make any waves in the previous life.

The reason.

However, this was due to the interference imposed by overseas directors at the time.

He completely reversed the story, and the most controversial change was that he transformed Mulan's core motivation from filial piety and responsibility into an awakening of individual heroism with innate superpowers.

There was a serious error in this regard, which greatly reduced the goodwill of Chinese audiences.

As a heroine of China, Mulan's appeal has never lay in her abilities.

Rather, it is the ability to uphold the virtue of self-sacrifice in the balance between loyalty and filial piety.

Filial piety and righteousness.

Loyalty and courage.

A surge of patriotism and love for one's country.

All of these aspects should be promoted and passed down.

The drastic changes Disney made in its previous version ultimately resulted in Mulan failing to achieve the expected results.

In this life, apart from scouting filming locations and making preliminary preparations, Chen Yu decided to handle all aspects of filming and casting himself.

He wants to create a real Mulan.

He wanted Liu Yifei to become an independent individual.

Jason Reed quickly responded, expressing nothing but admiration for his new boss.

At a young age, he directly acquired shares in Disney.

It has a place in Hollywood and even globally.

Especially during the filming process, she was still able to handle the pre-production preparations for "Mulan" with meticulous attention to detail.

Or you can't say it.

For some people, success is simply a matter of course.

"Director Chen, what are you plotting now?"

Jiang Wen nudged Chen Yu's shoulder, having overheard Chen Yu's conversation with the other side, and couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

Precisely.

Since learning that Chen Yu had invested in Disney, he had gained a much higher level of understanding of the man's capabilities.

You'll find out in a while.

Jiang Wen clicked her tongue, but did not refute Chen Yu's words.

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei.

Their eyes met, and the latter was clearly waiting for Chen Yu's response.

"Okay, everyone."

"Next, let's serve some more substantial dishes to Master Huang."

Jiang Wen clapped his hands.

After the intermission, everyone naturally returned to the intense filming schedule.

The next scene can be considered Chen Yu's highlight.

He ate two bowls of noodles but only paid for one.

The classic "liangfen" case in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" has become a widely discussed cultural symbol in later generations.

As for now.

The real show is about to begin. (End of Chapter)
