China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 122 Liu Yan is happy, Liu Yan is regretful
  Before the filming of "Space Traveler" started, a reading meeting was held. This is a necessary process for the crew of every film before the official start of production.

During the reading, the actors will play against each other so that they can get into the mood faster after the film is started.

Before that, they will also get the script in advance.

Actors of the older generation are more particular. After receiving the script, they usually study it carefully so that they can better interpret the role.

The new generation of actors are even less particular about this aspect.

From the post-80s to the post-90s to the post-00s actors, except for a few actors, each generation is really inferior to the last in this regard.

For example, Peng Yuchang, an actor born in the 90s, after starting up the film and joining the group, he was studying the script while other actors of the same age group were playing.

The effect is that his performance is better than that of actors of the same age group in the same crew.

So much so that he was ridiculed as the "King of Rolls" by the young actors in the same crew.

Not to mention other aspects, just talking about the atmosphere is already very different from before.

Now in 2006, this trend has already begun.

After 2008, the trend became more and more obvious.

And this is one of the reasons why by 2023, the only ones who can compete in the entertainment industry will still be actors born in 75 to those born in 85.

Among the actors born in the 90s and 00s, except for a few who are good, the performances of others are really not good.

The performance is blunt and lacks spirituality.

……

Wang Shu and Wei Zongwan chatted for a while and then started the next filming work.

At this time.

Liu Yan walked up to him with a small fan, looked at him longingly with wide eyes, and said softly: "Director Wang, are you hot? I'll fan you."

Wang Shu glanced sideways at Liu Yan, laughed softly and said, "It's not hot, just fan yourself."

Liu Yan felt Wang Shu's tenderness, and his mood suddenly became quite agitated. Then he seemed to feel the strange eyes around him, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

However, she did not back down, but pretended to be calm and smiled and said: "Should I give you a fan? Anyway, I have nothing to do. Maybe I can learn something by following you until I start filming my scenes." I can also perform better when I’m playing.”

When Wang Shu heard this, he felt that it made sense, and then said: "Then just watch from here. No need to fan, it's very tiring."

"I'm not tired." Liu Yan said quickly. After he finished speaking, he felt his reaction was a bit loud. He blushed and said, "I'm not tired, Director Wang. I'll give you a fan. I'm not tired."

Wang Shu turned his head and looked at Liu Yan's nervous look, and said softly: "Even if you are not tired, you can't come here and fan me."

Under Liu Yan's aggrieved and puzzled gaze, he continued: "With so many people on the crew watching, it will have a bad impact. Some people will spread rumors that I am acting like a big star."

"Oh." When Liu Yan heard what Wang Shu said, he realized that he was being abrupt, and he immediately felt that he had done something wrong and buried his head in aggrieved manner.

Seeing this, Wang Shu smiled and whispered softly: "If you are really fine, just watch from the side. If I have time later, I will tell you about the play."

When Liu Yan heard Wang Shu's words, his lost eyes instantly regained their energy. He stared with a pair of watery eyes and opened his mouth, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Director Wang, you are so kind."

When Wang Shu heard this, he still kept a faint smile and said: "Work hard, this is a good opportunity for you."

"If you perform well and leave an impression on others, producers will take the initiative to look for you to film in the future."

Looking at Liu Yan's longing expression after hearing this, he immediately added, "Of course, if you perform well and have a suitable role in the future, I will also find you to join the cast."

"Really?" Liu Yan couldn't help but asked excitedly after hearing this.

Wang Shu smiled and asked, "What are you lying to?"

With Liu Yan's unstoppable expression of excitement, he then added, "So you have to study the script carefully and act well."

"Although you don't have many roles, this is an opportunity for you to show yourself."

"Cherish it and work hard."

When he said this, he originally wanted to give Zhou Xingxing an example, but then he thought for a moment and did not speak again.

When Zhou Xingxing first debuted, the role he played in a certain crew only had one line.

But he cherishes it very much.

After performing this line of play, I thought about it over and over again and felt that I didn't perform it well. Then I went to the director the next day, knelt down and begged him to give him another chance to perform again.

Obviously.

Zhou Xingxing can succeed not only because of his talent, but also because of his hard work.

In fact, if you carefully compare Zhou Xingxing's performance, you can find that his performance style is similar to that of Japanese comics and some European and American comedians.

And this is exactly a set of comedy performance methods that he summarized from watching a lot of video tapes before he became famous.

The ideas in his mind are not innate, but he has accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge through reading countless films.

"Director Wang, I will work hard." Encouraged by Wang Shu, Liu Yan was very happy and excited, as if he had been given a shot of blood.

Sun Li happened to come behind Wang Shu not long ago. She listened silently to the conversation between Wang Shu and Liu Yan, feeling a little sour for no reason. At this moment, Liu Yan noticed Sun Li standing next to him. With a smile on his face, he couldn't help but share his joy and said, "Teacher Sun, Director Wang just said that he has time to teach me acting."

Sun Li is 82 years old and Liu Yan is 80 years old, so it is not easy for Liu Yan to call Sun Li his sister.

And Sun Li's status is far beyond the reach of a newcomer like Liu Yan, who has just entered the industry. It is also difficult to call Sun Li by her first name.

He is also called Teacher Sun.

This method of address is very common in the entertainment industry. It can not only give people respect in speech, but also alleviate the embarrassment of the age gap.

Sun Li heard this and responded with a smile: "Having Director Wang teach you will definitely be of great help to your performance."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Shu again, narrowed his eyes and joked half-seriously, "Director Wang, can you turn on the small stove for me if you have time?"

When Liu Yan heard this, her heart sank, and she couldn't help but regret that she hadn't restrained herself from telling her that Wang Shu would teach her acting.

When Wang Shu heard what Sun Li said, he smiled and said: "Teacher Sun, you have already acted in a lot of dramas, why do you still need me to set up a small stove for you?"

"Liu Yan is different. She is a newcomer. If she is not taught, she may not be able to perform well."

Liu Yan nodded repeatedly, indicating that Director Wang was right.

"But... Director Wang is not only a great director who won the Best Actress Award at Cannes, but he is also the screenwriter and the leading actor of this play. He is definitely more familiar with the characters in this play than I am." Sun Li smiled. Answer the call.

When Wang Shu heard this, he looked at Sun Li and saw that she seemed to be serious. He understood that she also wanted to perform this drama well, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let me see if I have time, and I will give you some fun if I have time." "

When Sun Li heard this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly: "Director Wang, you are so kind."

Wang Shu shook his head with a wry smile and said to himself that it was lucky that Deng Chao was not here, otherwise he would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing you acting coquettishly towards others.

Liu Yan forced a smile, but in his heart he regretted talking too much.

Originally, Director Wang only gave her a small job.

Now, Sun Li has to start a small stove again.

The time that Director Wang can spare is limited. Wouldn't this affect the time that Director Wang can give her to open a small stove?
  The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more regretful he felt in his heart.

The day passed like this.

night.

Liu Yan returned to her residence and talked on the phone with her boyfriend in a small fishing village.

Her boyfriend was not from the entertainment industry, but she met her boyfriend when she was working as a nurse in a hospital in a small fishing village.

In 2005, Liu Yan came north to Beijing to pursue his career. The two made a three-year agreement, saying that they would return to get married after three years of becoming a human being.

It is now 2006, and there are still two years left before the three-year period.

"Today is the first day of work for the crew. Director Wang is really good. Sun Li approached him and asked him to help with the script and set up a small stove. Director Wang agreed without even thinking about it." Liu Yan chatted with her boyfriend over the phone. Watch what you see in the crew.

Maybe even she didn't realize that every word she said was inseparable from Wang Shu.

"Since Sun Li can go to Director Wang to open a small stove to talk about dramas, you can also go to Director Wang." Her boyfriend, who was far away in the small fishing village, consciously heard Liu Yan's admiration for Sun Li from her words, so he spoke Make suggestions.

"Although Sun Li is young, she has already acted in many dramas for many years. At the end of last year, she starred opposite Jet Li in "Fearless", which is different from me."

"She can go to Director Wang for help, but I can't."

Liu Yan was silent for a while, thinking of the scene when she went for the audition. She was worried that her boyfriend would misunderstand, so she hid the fact that Wang Shu would also give her some advice.

"Didn't you say that Director Wang is a very good person? If you didn't take the initiative to ask, how would you know that Director Wang wouldn't help you with your drama?"

"Director Wang is the director of this play. It stands to reason that the better you perform, the more satisfied he will be."

"So, he probably wants you to play your role well, rather than leaving you alone."

"Under this premise, he should help you."

Liu Yan's boyfriend expressed his opinion.

Liu Yan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Not every character or every scene in a movie needs to be outstanding. Many times, some scenes just need to be qualified and usable, and there is no need to strive for excellence."

"Especially for supporting roles, unless there are some outstanding scenes that must be performed, they are basically just messed up and ended."

Liu Yan's boyfriend understood what she meant and said thoughtfully: "Sun Li is the heroine and needs to perform well, so Director Wang will naturally give her some extraneous treatment."

"And you are a supporting role, the camera and the scene are not that important, so it doesn't matter whether your performance is good or not..."

"It just needs to be that the scene you perform is usable."

"In this way, there is really no need to waste time trying to open a small stove for you."

"And Director Wang, if he doesn't give you some guidance, there's a high probability that you won't be able to perform the role brilliantly."

"If you don't perform well, it's like wasting this opportunity."

At this point, he paused for a moment and then said, "Why don't you find an opportunity to treat Director Wang to a late-night snack? Build a good relationship with Director Wang, and then properly request him to open a small stove for you?"
