Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 239 Teacher Li, As Long as You Open Your Mouth
"du~du~du~"

The phone rang. Liu Yifei picked up the phone, took a look, and answered it immediately.

"Hey, Tiantian, how was the shoot today? Did it go smoothly?"

"Hahaha! Teacher Bao is so funny. He is showing off to Teacher Li Pingbin!"

"What? Senior is the culprit? In the final analysis, it was him who instigated this whole thing?"

"Hey, isn't this normal? The senior is so mean, I'm not surprised by anything he does."

They first chatted about gossip on the set, and then turned to their respective professional knowledge gains that day.

Listening to the two girls chattering about the heavenly book on the phone from afar, Liu Xiaoli had a complicated expression.

Liu Xiaoli is extremely supportive of her daughter's plan to direct a movie, which is a Jiecheng project!

With Jie Cheng in charge, wouldn't it be easy for him to get the title of directing and acting in the film himself?
Just look at Zhou Jielun and you will know. "Secret" has earned more than 80 million yuan in box office in mainland China, and including Taiwan and Hong Kong, it has surely exceeded 100 million yuan.

Not to mention that the film also won honors at the Venice Film Festival and made a lot of money from the sale of copyrights alone, a definite double harvest.

But Liu Xiaoli was strongly opposed to her daughter returning to Beijing Film Academy to attend classes at first.

Is it necessary to be able to direct movies to be a director?
Didn’t Zhou Jielun direct it quite well?

And Xu Jinglei, both of them won awards at international film festivals!

However, as time passed, Liu Xiaoli had to agree.

It wasn't because Liu Yifei's insistence convinced Liu Xiaoli, but because there was no work to do. I was idle anyway, it was the same at home as at school. It was better to go to school to relax than to stay bored at home, wasn't it?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli looked even more miserable.

Huayi used the "Forbidden Kingdom" acting contract as a bargaining chip to reach a verbal agreement with Red Star Wood. But Liu Xiaoli took advantage of the fight with Tang Ren and thought about doing it again.

Unexpectedly, this time it failed!
How can Tangren compare to Huayi’s size and skills?

Fabricating negative information: print media, the Internet, and everywhere.

The original popularity suddenly cooled down. Although the status was not reduced, the resources were like yesterday's flowers, withering and dying.

Liu Xiaoli tried her best to make amends, including but not limited to contacting her mother's family and the family connections on her daughter's father's side, but it only reduced the intensity of the smear campaign.

In terms of resources, Chen Jingfei's tried and tested method of throwing money around has lost its effect.

Coal bosses are waving their money and marching into the entertainment industry. They respect art! They only want to communicate about art! They will never interfere with art!

We are fully aware that the elegance of art requires enormous human and material resources to create, so we use our abundant cash flow to support the development of art.

The entertainment industry has become more prosperous and the cultural and entertainment industry has also flourished.

So, who is Chen Jingfei? Who is he?

Richer than the coal miners, emmm, or the mining industrialists? Or more generous and magnanimous?
As Liu Xiaoli was thinking about it, she became stunned.

It wasn't until I heard "Ouch! Not bad!" on TV that I came to my senses.

I was surprised to see that my daughter had finished her phone call and was turning on the TV, watching "The Voice of China" with great interest.

After the Olympics, the premiere of "The Voice of China" became a huge hit and quickly swept across the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong, Macau, and even Southeast Asia, becoming a phenomenal music variety show in 08.

As for the mentors, Liu Huan who just sang the theme song at the Olympics, Asian pop star Zhou Jielun, Hong Kong queen Morningstone, and electric fan god Wubai are all heavyweights in the Chinese music scene.

"Don't look at the appearance, don't ask about the background, just listen to the voice", the slogan and the swivel chair went viral as the host read the words at a machine gun speed, making this autumn feel like the heat of summer again.

Liu Xiaoli knew very well that one of the organizers of this variety show and the copyright owner was Jiecheng Film and Television Company.

So he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"Xixi, why don't we look for Jiecheng?"

"Jie Cheng's help is more effective than anything we do!"

"Mom, didn't I tell you a long time ago? I won't look for a senior!" Liu Yifei said angrily, "Why are you bringing this up again?"

"Isn't there anything we can do about it?" Liu Xiaoli sighed, "Your godfather can't do anything about it either, at least not for now."

"According to him, we can only wait until time has diluted this matter, and then we can..."

a meal,
"But how long will this take? How long will it take for it to be over?"

"This is the golden period of your career development, how can you waste it like this?"

"Xixi, listen to mom. Let's find Jiecheng, and Jiecheng will take action."

"Why should the senior take action? The senior owes us something?" Liu Yifei interrupted Liu Xiaoli, "Mom, the senior doesn't owe us anything. Instead, I owe the senior something!"

"My senior took me to act in Parasite and went to Cannes."

"My senior wrote two songs for me. If I just meow a few more times on stage, I can earn more than a first-tier actor."

"Senior, find me a teacher to help me hone my acting skills."

"Now my senior has given me another project. It's a campus romance, and the heroine is just my age, so I can act like myself."

"Mom! How do you expect the senior to take care of me? He's not my dad!"

Liu Yifei pursed her lips.
"In life, you have always taken care of me, and my dad has basically never been involved."

"My dad still hasn't been involved much in my career."

"Senior is already more like my dad than my dad is. What else can I ask of him?"

"Continue to only take without giving in return? Just like you did to Tang Ren and Hua Yi before? Let's do it again, senior, three, two, three, four?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli was speechless.

So much so that he didn't notice the strange look in his daughter's eyes.

"Of course it's not just taking without giving!" Liu Xiaoli stumbled as she spoke, "Jiecheng is different from them! If we treat Jiecheng like this, we'd be heartless!"

"In this case, can't we just sign a contract with Jiecheng's company?"

"Mom! You call this paying the price?" Liu Yifei pouted. "You are just throwing the mess to Senior and letting him bear the cost for us!"

"But haven't we also signed a contract with Jie Cheng's company and will contribute to Jie Cheng's career in the future?"

"That's a deal!" Liu Yifei continued, "I work for the senior, and he helps me settle things. It's a fair exchange, and it has nothing to do with the word 'give and take'!"

"Then what do you say we should do?" Liu Xiaoli slumped down on the sofa in frustration, "We can't just sit there and wait, right?"

"I'm not just waiting around. I'm studying hard to prepare for the project that senior gave me." Liu Yifei grinned. "Mom, I've made up my mind. I'll do this project well and then sign a contract with senior's company!"

"Mom, I forgot to tell you, I've already talked to my senior about signing the contract."

"You talked to Jiecheng?" Liu Xiaoli was surprised. "When did it happen?"

"In 04, on the night of the premiere of A World Without Thieves, my senior invited my senior sister Sun Li and her husband to dinner, and I went with them."

a meal,
"You're wrong. Senior and Teacher Huang have divorced a long time ago. They are no longer a couple."

"And Mr. Huang didn't go that time either. It was just me, the senior, and the junior."

He raised his head proudly,

"Mom, by the time you think of signing the contract, it's too late."

"I, your daughter, have already prepared for this!"

"Although senior didn't agree that time, saying that I had to listen to you. But this time it's different, hehe!"

While laughing, he crossed his legs proudly.
Then he said "inadvertently":

"Mom, when my project officially starts, can you come and help me?"

"Me?" Liu Xiaoli was shocked that her silly daughter had suddenly turned into a smart person who could plan and lay out the plan in advance. She subconsciously replied, "How can I help you?"

"Help me with logistics! You can also make a guest appearance!" Liu Yifei blinked her eyes, pulled Liu Xiaoli's arm and shook it hard.

"It is said that brothers working together can break any obstacle."

"It is also said that brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle."

"Mom~Why can't we follow suit?"

"With mother and daughter working together, wouldn't it be easy for us to handle the school's youth romance project?"

"Mom, help me, please!"

"Okay, okay! Mom will help you. As long as you need it, how can I not help you?" Liu Xiaoli placed her daughter's head on her lap and patted her gently.

"Mom, I will focus on the movie then, and I will leave all matters, big or small, such as communicating with the actors, to you~"

"Okay, leave it to mom!"

"Mom, you have such a thin waist, beautiful legs, and a perky butt, hehe! It's so soft and elastic, no wonder the senior likes to stare at you."

"Pa!" Liu Xiaoli slapped her daughter. "What nonsense are you talking about? And where are you touching?"

Feng Chu, who was far away in Hengdian, had no idea that Wo Long had already begun to gradually lay the groundwork for his original firm promise: to ensure that Zhen Jiecheng would be brought into the sisters' project as the male lead.

At this moment Fengchu was using his clever brain, and considering that Wolong's auditing at school would not yield as much as his performance on the set, he hurried to find Li Pingbin.

"Teacher Li, do you want students?"

"If you want it, just ask and I'll bring it to you!"

"Ah?" Li Pingbin was confused. What was going on?
"Promise to be obedient!"

"Promise to be good!"

“Make sure you have a good attitude towards learning!”

"I promise to respect my teacher and honor the Dao!"

Jing Tian counted the advantages on his fingers.

"I have a reserve of knowledge, it doesn't mean I know nothing."

"And he's much smarter than me! You just need to give him some pointers, no need to worry too much!"

"On the set, after you finish shooting, she will serve you tea and water. You don't have to worry about being glared at by my master anymore!"

"In life"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Pingbin interrupted Jing Tian. After a while, Li Pingbin had figured out the general idea. "Tiantian, you are not referring to Liu Yifei, are you?"

"Yes, it's Sister Xixi!" Jing Tian's eyes widened. "Teacher Li, how did you know?"

"Nonsense! Long before you were on the set of Taken, Liu Yifei had already seen the art of war in Parasite!" Li Pingbin rolled his eyes. "How could I not know? I was there! I was the first witness!"

"I say, Lao Li! How can you talk like that? Why is Tiantian not doing her job?" From a distance, Bao Dexi strode over.

"Director Yimou is even an award-winning actor. Jiang Wen jumped from actor to director, then from director to actor, and now he's back again, jumping back and forth over and over again!"

"Jie Cheng is the same, he has been a director and actor!"

"Oh, so it's possible for others to cross over, but for Tiantian, it's not a proper job?"

Holding Jing Tian's arm,
"It's okay for you to envy me for having a good student, but it's wrong to be jealous."

"Let me tell you in advance! I'll give you some of the fruits, soups, and other things that Tiantian prepared."

"But don't even think about massaging your shoulders and arms! Tiantian is still busy studying and doesn't have the time or energy for that!"

After saying that, he took Jingtian and left.

Looking at their backs,
Listening to their conversation,
"Teacher, it's not what you think."

"Tiantian, you don't have to cover up for that old guy."

"Teacher, that's not true."

"Okay, Tiantian, you don't need to say anything, the teacher knows it all! After being in the crew for so long, the teacher has already seen clearly: the damn Jiecheng is the leader of the bastards, the damn Lao Li is a bad guy, and the damn Lao Ji and Lao Cao just squat on the side to watch the fun after finishing their work. The whole gang is fucked up, and I, your teacher, can't help but fuck it!"

"I have no choice but to step on the horse, otherwise I will be unbalanced."

The voices and footsteps gradually faded away.

Li Pingbin stood there, his lips trembling.

After a while, he finally came to his senses and cursed:

"Gan!"

"Horse riding!"

"Teacher, have some tea!"

On the set, Bao Dexi had just sat down when Jing Tian quickly brought him some brewed tea.

"Yeah!" Bao Dexi smiled at his beloved disciple and picked up the teacup.

But in Li Pingbin's opinion, the old man was clearly smiling at him.

Especially when he held the teacup to blow out the hot steam, his little eyes would glance over from time to time.

Tsk! Isn't it just drinking tea? What's there to be proud of?
Li Pingbin moved his butt, changed direction, and decided to make eye contact with Bao Dexi with his buttocks.

I picked up my teacup and was about to drink it when I found that there was not much tea left.

"Teacher Li, let me refill your water."

Jing Tian walked forward carrying a bottle of boiled water.

"Oh, thank you!"

"You're welcome, Teacher Li." Jing Tian shook his head.

She was born with a rich face and a slight smile could make two dimples appear on her face. She is as sweet as her name suggests.

Like a happy little swallow, floating around on the set.

"Teacher Ji, stop smoking and eat some fruit."

"Teacher Cao"

"Brother Tao"

"Brother Chao.Brother Yuan"

There is work in the eyes and things in the hands.

Who doesn't like this girl?

"Everyone is here, come on! As usual, let's finalize the details!"

Zhen Jiecheng's arrival diverted Li Pingbin's thoughts, so he concentrated his attention on today's routine pre-shooting meeting.

This is the most frequently used fixed process in the preparation of the Olympic opening ceremony. It is very suitable for film projects with "industrial-grade" shooting processes.

Zhen Jiecheng used this to inspire his thinking, and if he were to shoot a real science fiction movie in the future, he could completely copy this experience.

This is the case with Guo Fan, the director of "The Wandering Earth". Compared with his directing ability, his management level is more outstanding.

Control and scheduling have made Guo Fan a representative of domestic science fiction films, and are also one of the important reasons for the success of "The Wandering Earth" series.

"Old Li, Old Bao."

"Please note that as long as there is a conversation between two people, the camera must be positioned to provide a relationship shot!"

"Senior, you are talking about the over-the-shoulder dialogue scenes." Jing Tian explained to Qin Lan in a low voice.

"If the environment changes, the camera will move immediately to give a subjective perspective!"

"This is using the empty lens as a subjective perspective to explain the environment." Jing Tian paused, "Sister Qin, do you know the empty lens?"

"I know. You told me before, and I took notes." Qin Lan nodded. "It's a landscape shot. There's no one in the picture."

"But Tiantian, is it useful for me to understand all this?"

"It's useful. It helps us coordinate with the camera better!" Jing Tian said solemnly, "This is a one-shot shoot, which is different from ordinary film and television projects. If the actors don't understand the simple camera language and only rely on rote rehearsal, it will be difficult to perform well."

“Because the set is different from rehearsal, it’s not set in stone.”

"The actors need to make small adjustments to coordinate. Only when they know the reasons and the causes can they know how to make timely adjustments."

Simple? Well, compared to the mysterious Q&A between teacher Jing Tian and his student, the explanations of the meanings of these professional terms are indeed simple.

Thinking of this, Qin Lan no longer had any doubts.
"Tiantian, then you continue!"

"Yeah!" Jing Tian nodded and turned to look at Zhen Jiecheng who was sitting in the middle.

“If there is a strong emotional conflict, the camera position will naturally drop to the mid-ground.”

“When expressing suspense, move from the panoramic view to the close-up and then to the close-up.”

"Close-up, close-up, push-in shots to create atmosphere. Sister Qin, when you act this part, you must prepare your emotions in advance."

"I understand! If there is even a slight flaw, it will be clearly visible in the close-up shot." Qin Lan answered while finding his corresponding role in his mind and making sufficient preparations.

As the two of them whispered to each other, Zhen Jiecheng quickly finished the routine meeting. The props team and the lighting team also immediately got busy.

Before the filming started, Bao Dexi waved to Jing Tian.

"Tiantian, the advantages of long lenses are well known, but what are the disadvantages?"

"Emmm, aesthetic fatigue?" Jing Tian hesitated, "No, it should be visual fatigue."

"Yes, it's visual fatigue!" Bao Dexi nodded, "Do you remember what Lao Li said when he commented on Jiecheng's style a few days ago?"

"Remember! Teacher Li said that you used a long shot to create a montage effect that was supposed to be a contradictory concept."

"That's right! A long shot that theoretically has no concept of storyboards can ultimately make people feel the changes in scene and camera movements that all kinds of montages should have. It eliminates the disadvantage of visual fatigue and only gives a strong sense of immersion."

Bao Dexi smacked his lips.

"This is the strength of Jie Cheng! There is no standard answer in art. Only by deeply understanding and mastering the rules can we break the rules and construct the rules through permutations and combinations."

“Today and the following days of filming will show this more directly in the footage.”

"You will squat next to Jiecheng and watch the monitor carefully! Then write an analysis assignment and hand it in to me."

"Good teacher!"

Not far away, Li Pingbin turned his back, watched quietly and listened carefully.

Pout!
Tsk, after finishing work I still have to correct homework.

You're so busy, old man!
"Crack!"

"Take a ten-minute break and continue!"

This was already the seventh time, and Bao Dexi and Li Pingbin took turns, both of them were out of breath.

Seeing that the natural light was about to change, if we couldn’t shoot well this time, we would have to postpone it to tomorrow. And that would have to be if the weather conditions were suitable, otherwise we would have to postpone it again.

Zhen Jiecheng's voice was still loud even after being amplified by the loud speaker, and he remained calm as he looked at the wasted film foot by foot.

But others can't do it!
It’s not that I feel sorry for the money or want to save some money for the crew, but it’s mainly because the psychological pressure is too great.

Especially today, Zhen Jiecheng didn't curse at all, he just held a big loudspeaker with a stern face, as if he was going to start being crazy polite in the next second.

It's like an old man who hears the upstairs resident take off one of his high-heeled shoes and loses sleep because he's waiting for the sound of the other high-heeled shoe hitting the ground.

"Scold!"

"You scolded me harshly!"

Qin Lan panted heavily, muttering to himself. He looked at Zhen Jiecheng with resentment.

"You can use as much force as you want!"

"It's so torturous to be neither up nor down!"

At one side, Li Pingbin watched Jing Tian massaging Bao Dexi's shoulders and arms, and felt very sad.

Stride towards Zhen Jiecheng,
"Jie Cheng, come with me!"

"What's wrong, Lao Li?" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned.

"Don't ask, just follow me, I will definitely tell you later."

As he spoke, he pulled Zhen Jiecheng towards the corner.

"Well, Jiecheng, I'm really tired these days. My shoulders are sore and my arms are tired."

"Then I'll give you a holiday!" Zhen Jiecheng raised his lips, "It's okay, don't be embarrassed, I understand! Although Old Bob is older than you and doesn't complain of being tired, it's normal! After all, Old Bob is stronger than you, and he's still strong even when he's old!"

"I didn't ask for leave!" Li Pingbin glared, "I mean, you should arrange someone to help me massage my arms and shoulders."

"Relax, understand?"

"You also want to prove that Laodang is strong?" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned. "I understand! I'll take you there tonight!"

"arrange!"
