China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 672: Could it be that he was possessed by someone else?
"Why didn't Yangyang come today? That's weird. Didn't Director Li say yesterday that he would give him a day off so that he could go back and think about how to act? He's been thinking about it for a whole day, so he should be back, right?"

"They say that when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. In my opinion, something must have happened that we don't know about."

"Is he going to have a falling out with the director? I've never been treated this way before in other crews, so I can't stand it and don't want to act anymore."

"It's normal not to want to act. People can still get paid tens of millions of yuan for other productions without having to put in any effort.

The requirements are high here with Director Li, and the pay may be a little less than in other places. If it were me, I would also choose another crew."

"You are hopeless if you think like that. Isn't it for Director Li's own good that he has high standards?

If all directors don’t dare to point out the actors’ mistakes, then do we still have good dramas to watch?

A worker who earns several thousand yuan a month will be scolded by his boss if he does not do his job well.

Isn't it normal for an actor who gets paid tens of millions to be scolded by the director for a bad performance?
If it were me, I wouldn't need tens of millions. Just give me one million. If I don't act well, you can even beat me up.

After you beat me, I still have to say that it was a good beating."

……

There were rumors flying around in the crew, saying all sorts of things.

Some also said that Yangyang was scolded by Li Yu yesterday and he went back and cried bitterly.

In short, all kinds of outrageous versions have come out.

After Li Muge discovered this phenomenon, he said to Li Yu: "Director Li, why don't we dispel the rumors? The truth of the matter is not what they said."

Li Muge sometimes admires these gossip people very much. Their imagination is so strong that it is a pity that they don’t write short scripts.

Just by capturing a tiny bit of information, they can make up eight hundred unique short stories.

If you can focus on your work, it won't be a problem to win the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes.

“Forget it, don’t try to dispel the rumor. When Yang Yang comes back in a week, won’t the truth be revealed?

The word "rumor-debunking" has been overused by people in the entertainment industry. People originally didn't believe it, but after seeing the rumor-debunking statement, they immediately believed it.

It’s a little outrageous, but that’s the reality in the entertainment industry.”

Li Yu refused.

At this time, it is better to do less than more, and the important thing is to focus on filming.

If I debunk a rumor, there will be eight hundred new stories coming out tomorrow, which will only be more annoying.

Since Li Yu said so, Li Muge certainly had nothing to say.

Just move the other actors' scenes to the front.

Yangyang's scenes can be filmed a week later. Anyway, it's not a mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time, so it doesn't matter much who shoots first.

As we all know, there are no secrets in the entertainment industry.

The situation in the crew soon reached the ears of other artists.

Liu Yifei called Li Yu to gossip: "I heard that Yang Yang cried because of your scolding, and then he didn't want to act anymore, is it true?"

To be honest, Li Yu was a little surprised.

How fast was it that it reached Liu Yifei's ears so quickly?

Liu Yifei was tortured by Yang Yang for a long time when she was filming "Eternal Love". Li Yu was not surprised at all that she called to gossip about her. What surprised him was that the gossip about Liu Yifei came so quickly.

"It's true that good news doesn't get famous, but bad news spreads far and wide. It's really a waste of talent for these people in the circle not to go undercover and gather intelligence." Li Yu complained.

"Do you think Yang Yang cried because of your scolding? I heard that not only did he cry, but he also wanted to terminate his contract with your crew." Liu Yifei continued to gossip.

"You said it yourself, this is hearsay, don't you know how credible hearsay is?

I heard on the Internet that you are a transgender? Tell me if you are.”

Li Yu was quite speechless.

"..." Liu Yifei was speechless. Well, she knew that the story about Yang Yang crying and wanting to quit the show was fake.

If it was true, Li Yu would not deny it.

After a while, Liu Yifei asked: "If it's fake, why don't you refute it?"

"Someone spread the rumor that you were a transgender person. Have you ever refuted the rumor?" Li Yu asked a fatal question.

“…” Liu Yifei was speechless.

She really debunked the rumor, but the rumor was still spread, and the effect was not very obvious.

After she debunked the rumor, some people even said that she was anxious. If what everyone said was not right, why would she rush out to debunk it?

“It’s useless to refute rumors. Refuting rumors is a good thing, but it was ruined by those artists in the industry.

Whenever someone is exposed for cheating in a relationship or doing something bad, they try to refute the rumor immediately, only to be slapped in the face the next second.

Now people have taken it for granted that refuting a rumor means that the thing is true.

Sometimes, it is better to remain silent than to dispel rumors. "

Li Yu said again.

"That makes sense, but have you finished writing my script for me?" Liu Yifei urged.

After the failure of "Eternal Love", she begged Li Yu to take her flying again.

Li Yu suggested that she temporarily leave the film industry and make a TV series to restore her reputation.

Originally she was reluctant to return to the television industry, but Li Yu later persuaded her.

She thought about it carefully and felt that if the script was written by Li Yu, the TV series would be reliable.

But Li Yu had been a slacker again, not giving her the script for such a long time.

"You know how busy I am. I have to go to Hollywood to make a movie and write a script for Director Mu and Director Chen. Give me some time. Good things are worth waiting for. Wait a little longer and I won't let you down." Li Yu offered her another big pancake.

Too much debt is not a burden. If you owe a lot, there is nothing to be afraid of.

……

A week later, Yang Yang, who had been practicing for a whole week, came back, and his return broke all the rumors.

"How do you feel after a week of acting lessons? Today we will focus on filming your scenes. If you still can't act well, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Yu said to Yang Yang.

After hearing Li Yu's words, the people in the crew finally understood why Yang Yang had disappeared for so many days.

It turned out that she didn't cry because of Li Yu's scolding, nor did she not want to act anymore, but she went to take acting classes.

"I don't dare to brag. If I still don't act well, Director Li, you can just criticize me." Yang Yang replied.

"Remember, the most important thing in acting is to be natural. The highest level of acting is to be subtle and silent, so that people can't feel that you are acting." Li Yu reminded him.

Although Yangyang took the acting class at the last minute, he will definitely make progress as long as he works hard.

Li Yu didn't expect much improvement in his acting skills. As long as he changed his bad habits and acted well without distracting people, he would pass.

After the staff set up the scene, the first scene in Yangyang began filming.

This time, Yangyang's performance was much more natural than a week ago, but it still seemed a little stiff.

Li Yu asked him to come a few more times, and this one was considered passed.

After the afternoon shooting, Yang Yang started to get into the role better. Out of a full score of 100, his performance was between 65 and 70 most of the time, with occasional breakthroughs to 75.

It's definitely not comparable to his acting prowess, but he's much better than he was before.

So everyone in the crew was very surprised. After a week of seclusion and cultivation, he actually became a different person? Could it be that Yang Yang was possessed by another spirit?
