You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

The newly appointed counselor is ten thousand times easier to talk to than Deng Xuefeng.

Knowing that Le Yan and Bi Xia were going to join the crew to film a movie, he helped them take care of school affairs early on so that they had no worries.

Before departure, the students and teachers of the whole grade group held a formal "oath-taking ceremony" for them.

This is not the first time that this class of students has gone out to film, nor is it the longest time they have been away. But this is the first time that there has been real collaboration among classmates.

"Every line you say on the set is writing a new chapter of youth for Beijing Film Academy." The line teacher said in a sonorous and affectionate voice, "Every interaction you make is showing the charm of Beijing Film Academy!"

The physical education teacher raised his right hand gracefully and shouted:

“Classmates! Let’s cheer for Le Yan and Bi Xia! Let them show their performance level, performance style, performance results, and performance ambition! We hope they will write a brilliant chapter in the history of Beijing Film Academy!!”

One person is the face of Beijing Film Academy, and two people together are the double doors of Beijing Film Academy.

The male and female protagonists are both from Beijing Film Academy, and they are in the same grade. The performance of Le Yan and Bi Xia not only concerns the reputation of Beijing Film Academy, but also represents the teaching level of the entire grade group.

Children, whether the teacher will be embarrassed or proud depends on your performance in these three months!

The dean held Le Yan's hands with both hands and said earnestly:
"Student Le Yan, if you have any questions about your performance, you can contact us at any time. If you need support from the school, please don't hesitate to ask us. Please remember that you have the entire Beijing Film Academy backing you up!"

Le Yan excitedly pulled his hand out of the department head's hand, took out the notebook and pen he carried with him from his pocket, and wrote a line of vigorous words:

"I will definitely live up to the school and teachers' training!"

After wearing the "Gentleman acts rather than speaks" status card, Le Yan lost his ability to express himself. He had a lot of things in his mind but he just couldn't say them.

The negative effects of the status card will gradually disappear as the wearing time increases. According to Le Yan's previous wearing experience, when he went to Hong Kong to shoot the first scene, he would have no problem counting from 1 to 10, which just happened to match Li Xiaojun's poor language ability.
Although this has temporarily solved the problem at hand, it still won’t work if I don’t know how to speak.

How to communicate without speaking?

In order to communicate with people around him, Le Yan picked up paper and pen, which are increasingly ignored by people in today's society, and expressed his feelings in words.

I didn't expect that when I picked up the pen, I also straightened my back.

The words written by Le Yan are so beautiful!
When God closed a window for him, he also opened a door for him!

In the social era that "Sweet Honey" is trying to interpret, mobile phones and the Internet were not yet popular, and people communicated with each other through letters.

The screenwriter portrayed Li Xiaojun as an ambitious young man who loves reading and has great aspirations, so it is understandable that he has such good handwriting.

This also solves the second problem that is giving Le Yan a headache.

As the times progress and technology develops, letters are gradually replaced by new technologies, but the stubborn Li Laojun still chooses to use letters to communicate with relatives and friends far away in the mainland.
Reasonable!

So reasonable!

After thinking of this solution, Le Yan immediately contacted Kong Chao and expressed his ideas in writing.

Kong Chao thought Le Yan’s design was brilliant at first sight!

He contacted the screenwriter overnight and asked him to add a few plots related to words and letters!

So the thunderstorm that happened a few days ago was not meant for Le Yan, but for Kong Chao.

Because Kong Chao swore to heaven that he would never let the screenwriter change a single word.

Le Yan suddenly took out a pen and paper to write, confusing the department head.

He looked at Bi Xia beside him in confusion.

What's going on?
Bi Xia grabbed the department head's helpless little hand and shook it vigorously twice:
"Student Le Yan is looking for character status recently! Teacher, please rest assured that Le Yan and I will repay our fellow countrymen with good news! Let you be proud of us!"

Bixia has been very happy these days.

Finally no one argues with her anymore!

The time it takes Le Yan to write 10 words is enough for her to launch three rounds of personal attacks.

Hehehe, happy.

She hopes that Le Yan can take as long as possible to find his character state.

The department head held a child with one hand with satisfaction:
"Okay, okay! We'll be waiting for your good news in Kyoto!!"

Like soldiers going to war, Le Yan and Bi Xia arrived in Hong Kong with the crew in high spirits.

But their momentum only lasted for most of the day and disappeared on the evening of the day they landed.

“Isn’t this big wave too exaggerated?” Bi Xia looked at the reference photo in the styling teacher’s hand, with resistance written all over his face.

Because the film is about a story in Hong Kong, the styling and costumes were done by a local team who has a better understanding of the local culture.

The styling and costumes of all the actors in the crew, spanning thirty years, had to be debugged and the final photos taken in these two days. The task was very heavy. After landing, everyone went to the hotel to put their luggage and started working.

"The hairstyle should be changed according to the era." The hairstyle teacher spoke in a thick Hong Kong dialect, took out a curling iron as thick as a rolling pin, and gestured on Bi Xia's head, "Li Qiao used this hairstyle when she was in her thirties, and straightened it again when she was in her forties."

Bi Xia touched his hair reluctantly, then made up his mind and said bravely:

"It looks better with a perm, thank you teacher!"

"Don't be nervous, just do a one-time styling today and then do the formal perm later."

"Okay, okay." Bi Xia touched his chest.

Period dramas are a huge challenge for all actors.

What bothers actresses is the exaggerated hairstyle and makeup, while the male actors’ styling is not so bad; what bothers them is the clothes.

Le Yan, holding an iron-gray cloth jacket, appeared behind Bi Xia, whose head was covered with slashes, and wrote a few big words with his teeth and claws:
"Deng Xuefeng wouldn't even wear this dress! (*￣︿￣)"

Students often say in private that Deng Xuefeng's style of clothing is old-fashioned.

Qi Rui even commented that one of Deng Xuefeng's navy blue inner autumn clothes was the same as the one worn by his seventh uncle who lived far away in his hometown.

But when our seventh uncle wore this jacket, he would shake his head and comment - what an old style.

Bi Xia imagined how Le Yan would look wearing this jacket, and immediately laughed out loud:

"How about we switch and you try perming your hair?"

Le Yan reluctantly put on his jacket and wrote in his notebook:
"If I get my hair permed again, I'll be a best man."

In order to cater to the theme of the times, Le Yan also cut his hair into a very retro 2:8 split.

This look makes him look less clever and more rustic, which fits the script design very well.

"Auntie, please continue with your hair perm. I'm going to try on other clothes."

Le Yan waved the notebook in front of Bi Xia, turned around and went back to the dressing room.

This call of "Auntie" really made Bi Xia feel warm.

But she was in the middle of a styling job and couldn't get away, so she waited until the end of the work, rolled up her sleeves and went to catch the man.

Nephew, auntie has finished perming my hair, where are you?
"Where's Leyan?"

"Le Yan's styling was tried out very quickly and is almost finalized. She is now in the studio over there to show it to the director."

After learning about Le Yan's whereabouts from the staff, Bi Xia trotted all the way to where the director team was working.

During the time when the actors are trying on and finalizing their makeup, the director team has to do the final equipment debugging, check the machines, check the lights, and see if there is any damage along the way.

When Bi Xia pushed the door open and entered, the studio was brightly lit. If she hadn't known in advance that they were adjusting the equipment, she would have thought she had mistakenly entered the filming site.

The murderous intent dissipated a lot under the influence of the quiet atmosphere around.

Bi Xia patiently searched for Le Yan's whereabouts while moving towards the surveillance camera.

She wanted to see what they were filming that required such formality.

There were a lot of people gathered in front of the surveillance camera. When they saw the heroine Bi Xia coming, the staff took the initiative to make way for her to enter.

Before seeing the picture, Bi Xia heard a conversation.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, it's so true."

"Absolutely awesome!"

After the conversation, she happened to walk in front of the monitor and saw the content that attracted everyone to stop and watch.

The camera is facing an old dark wooden desk.

On the desk stood an old green desk lamp made of mottled iron sheets, and on the side close to the wall were neatly stacked books of various sizes.

The camera gradually moved to the left, capturing a blurry profile.

The man was wearing a dark grey sweetheart-neck sweater with a slightly yellowed white shirt buttoned to the top button, fitting perfectly. The camera moved to the left again, and this time the man's face could be seen clearly.

Bi Xia couldn't help but take a big step forward.

Damn, Le Yan?

The clothes full of the sense of the times, the retro hairstyle, the fair and slightly childish face, and the inexplicably simple temperament made Bi Xia think of a few words:

"Li Xiaojun!"

The staff around were also whispering:
"When I read the script, this is the image of Li Xiaojun that I imagined in my head."

"As soon as he got this look, the vibe came out. Isn't he the young man of that era?"

"Cameraman, please give us a close-up. What is Le Yan writing?" Kong Chao said into the intercom.

He asked Le Yan to audition, and he started writing as soon as Le Yan sat down.

It's been so long, what have you been writing?

The picture gradually zoomed in, and the camera was pushed onto the notebook in front of Le Yan.

"You're not happy with me calling you auntie? Look in the mirror. You're only one cigarette away from being the landlady! (ー`ー)"

After writing this beautiful line of text, Le Yan turned the page and continued writing:

"Angry! Angry! Angry! I get angry all day long. Do you understand, ladies? o(￣ヘ￣o＃)"

"How can you be the pride of Kyoto? When we go back this time, only my name will be on the wall of honor! Oh yeah!! (*｀)"

Le Yan, who is able to predict the future, is preparing the talismans he will need for the battle with Bi Xia.

I didn't prepare too much, just about forty or fifty, which should be enough.

We can’t always play against the wind, right?
In the past few days, not everyone has talked to Le Yan (not everyone has seen Le Yan write), and many people exclaimed in surprise when they saw the words on the camera.

"Damn, great handwriting!"

"The handwriting is like the person, straight, beautiful and elegant."

"Oh! No wonder the director suddenly wanted to add a few scenes of Li Xiaojun writing. He is a college student and well-educated, but not much was explained about this point before. It is a good design to use beautiful handwriting to reflect his character."

"Let the pictures speak for themselves. So advanced!"

The exclamations here attracted more people to watch in front of the monitoring period.

Bi Xia walked out in the opposite direction and punched twice with both fists:
"I can kill you!!"

Behind Bi Xia, in the center of the crowd, Kong Chao also patted his thigh vigorously:
"This is the Li Xiaojun I want!"

Three days later, Su Tian, ​​who had completed the rough cut of "Charlotte's Troubles", led his content team to Hong Kong.

Su Tian’s arrival marked the official start of the filming of "Sweet Honey".

Le Yan and Bi Xia are a pair of enemies who will fight for their entire lives.

If two people each get 90 points when filming individually, when they combine forces, they can stimulate the potential buried in their blood, allowing them to get 100 points, 200 points, or even 300 points in the end.

Don't think this metaphor is an exaggeration.
"Comrades: Almost a Love Story" will be filmed according to the development of the plot, which means that the first few days of filming will be the plot when Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao just arrived in Hong Kong. In other words, most of them are personal scenes of the two people.

It is a process for actors to gradually get into the groove when they join the crew and film. Kong Chao made this arrangement in the hope that after the two of them have found a certain performance state after filming a few solo scenes, they will be in a relatively good state when they start acting together.

Unexpectedly, the first scene the two actors shot together surprised the two great directors.

Li Xiaojun went to McDonald's to order food and met Li Qiao who was working there. This was the first time the two met.

When ordering, Li Xiaojun used his hands and mouth but still couldn't explain clearly. He looked back at the long line, nervously took out the small notebook he carried with him and started writing.

Le Yan portrayed Li Xiaojun vividly.
When I first came in, I was curious about the new McDonald's, I was happy but also felt timid as a newcomer, I felt panic and guilty because of the language barrier which made the ordering line get longer and longer, and I also had an indelible sense of inferiority.

Su Tian and Kong Chao behind the monitor were sometimes happy, sometimes anxious, sometimes worried, and sometimes angry as they followed Le Yan's performance.

Le Yan's face was clean and neat, and his every move revealed a refreshing scholarly aura, but the two directors had greasy faces and sweat dripping down because of their emotional ups and downs.

"Le Yan's acting was really great." Su Tian muttered softly.

How come Le Yan’s skills have improved so much in just one month?

In the lens.

Although the focus of this scene is more on Li Xiaojun, Li Qiao, who plays a supporting role, is also not idle at all.

Her expression also changed with Li Xiaojun's different emotions. The camera accurately captured that beneath her originally indifferent appearance of "it's none of my business", there unexpectedly appeared a touch of moving emotion called "sympathy".

Sympathy is an emotion that is difficult to express through body language.

Because it is difficult, people who watch it often ignore it because they cannot capture it.

But this time, everyone outside the camera caught it.

Li Qiao pursed her lips, quickly glanced around, then lowered her head and asked in Mandarin:
“Are we eating here?”

Li Xiaojun nodded happily:

"Uh-huh!"

Then he took out the notes and coins from his pocket and made the payment clumsily.

Li Qiao prepared the food and came back with the plates. Li Xiaojun hadn't counted the money yet.
She glanced at the increasingly long ordering queue behind her and reached out to find money in Li Xiaojun's palm.

Li Xiaojun was so frightened that he subconsciously reached out to stop him.

Li Qiao smoothly pulled his hand away.

Li Xiaojun thought she was going to steal the money and was about to take it back.

Li Qiao on the other side had already received the required amount, waved his hand at Li Xiaojun, and said coldly:

"Next person."

in front of the monitor.

Kong Chao's eyebrows are about to go bald when he works with Bi Xia for the first time:

"Bixia is so strong, Leyan is also so strong, their performances are so smooth, it doesn't look like they just joined the group at all."

He turned around and asked Su Tian beside him:
"Were they this strong before?"

Su Tian said that he had seen Bi Xia and Le Yan acting together, and they were very harmonious.

Is this simple harmony?
This is in harmony with the universe!

Kong Chao seemed to be watching two veteran actors perform on the same stage.
Su Tian touched his bald head and said with a smile:
"It's much better than last time!"

After filming this scene, the two directors did not hesitate to praise the two actors.

Two great actors!
Le Yan and Bi Xia looked at each other, and both read the determination to fight to the death in each other's eyes.

But this childish reason is not worthy of being accepted by the public.

"Because our alma mater is Beijing Film Academy." Bi Xia said loudly.

Le Yan also raised the small notebook:
"Thank you for your training, Kyōei!"

Su Tian & Kong Chao: “.”

The two actors were in full swing and unstoppable, so the director asked them to drink some water and start filming the next scene.

But as soon as Le Yan left, the assistant ran over and said to Kong Chao:
"Director, the company just contacted us and asked the entire crew to watch Our Song on time next week."

"Our brother? Who? I don't have a brother." Kong Chao shook his head.

After the assistant explained for five minutes, Kong Chao finally realized that the company had asked him to organize the entire crew to watch a variety show.

"Why? This isn't school. Do I have to organize students to watch TV?"

The assistant touched his head helplessly:
"I'm not sure about that. The company suddenly notified us that they would come to conduct a spot check. If the organization is not in place, it will affect the establishment of the next project."

"Ah?" Kong Chao put on the mask of pain.

While the two were talking, Su Tian on the side also ended his communication with his deputy.

He patted Kong Chao's arm and asked in shock:

"The company also asked me to organize the "Charlotte's Troubles" to visit my brother. Who is this brother? Why is he so important?" (End of this chapter)
