Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 64 [Li Yishu, why are you taking a hot spring bath here? ] Please read on!

Seeing Yu Feihong getting off the car, Li Yishu came forward to greet him with a look of joy on her face: "How did you find time to come here?"

Yu Feihong's look today is quite interesting. She is wearing a thick white down jacket and a cashmere dome hat on her head. She is 1.65 meters tall and wears a pair of plush snow boots, which makes her look a little bloated, like a chubby penguin.

"Are you afraid that I will disturb your good time?" Yu Feihong glanced at Huo Wenxi who was helping to move the suitcases at the door.

Just now at the airport, she met Huo Wenxi and Amy. Yu Feihong didn't care about Amy, but she cared about Huo Wenxi, the beautiful female assistant.

The grown man took a female assistant abroad, and a beautiful one at that.

You really can’t blame Yu Feihong for having wild thoughts.

Li Yishu said helplessly: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Wenxi is the manager of Gong Li and me. She is my assistant mainly to learn more. In the future, her main job will be a manager."

"Agent? Her? So young!"

Although Yu Feihong has not graduated yet, she has also made several movies, so she naturally knows what an agent is. But Huo Wenxi is younger than her, so how can she be an agent? And she is a popular actress like Gong Lijie.

"You're young, so just learn slowly. You know how I founded the company. It's always better to recruit new people than those old hands."

Li Yishu looked at Huo Wenxi who was gradually walking to the front and said with a smile: "Sister Gong Li is very optimistic about her. If you want to film in the future, I will let her be your agent."

"Let's talk about it later." Yu Feihong shook his head: "Except for your film "Love Letter", I don't have any other movies I want to make for now."

Earlier in late October, when Li Yishu returned to China, she told Yu Feihong about her plan to collaborate with Japan to film "Love Letter". Yu Feihong was very excited and expressed her desire to play the female lead.

However, Li Yishu rejected her proposal, and the reason given made Yu Feihong really not know how to fight for it, "You are too beautiful, so beautiful that the audience will ignore the plot!"

Just this one sentence completely broke Yu Feihong's defense.

When is it wrong to be too beautiful?

However, Li Yishu's subsequent explanation made Yu Feihong understand that in pure love films, the plot is very important, and the appearance of the male and female protagonists is secondary.

After all, this is not a love story.

Yu Feihong reiterated: "You must remember that you owe me a movie and an award-winning actress!"

"Don't worry, I won't forget it."

Li Yishu smiled and said, "With Yu Feihong's current acting skills, it's no problem for her to act in a movie, but to win the Best Actress award? Don't be ridiculous."

Amy came running over breathlessly: "Director Li, I have already booked a room for Miss Yu. It's right next to yours."

"Okay, please Amy."

"It's my duty, Director Li. I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you and Miss Yu."

"it is good!"

Amy tactfully called Huo Wenxi and left.

A beautiful woman traveled thousands of miles to Hokkaido, Japan to find Director Li. Who would believe that these two people had no connection?

"Come on, I'll take you around the set."

Li Yishu looked at the time on her watch. It was still a little past 1 o'clock. It wasn't long before the afternoon filming, so she could take Yu Feihong for a walk around the crew.

The two of them appeared in a place on the set, and Li Yishu introduced her to the heroine Miho Nakayama and the hero Takuya Kimura.

The two leading actors also respected Feihong very much, simply because she looked like the "supervisor's wife".

After saying hello, the two of them left tactfully, just like Amy.

Watching them leave, Yu Feihong couldn't help but joked, "I saw that Miss Zhongshan looked at you with a hint of resentment just now~"

"What kind of resentment is that? Maybe you want to ask me when I will be filming, but you are too embarrassed to ask."

Li Yishu pretended to be calm, and admired the woman's sixth sense, which was so accurate.

In the first few days of filming, Nakayama Miho often came to show her courtesy, either by giving her biscuits and chocolates she made, or by bringing her brewed coffee.

Li Yishu once watched a Japanese movie in which Japanese girls would personally make chocolates and give them to boys if they wanted to pursue them.

Although it was not clear where this tradition came from, since Nakayama Miho sent her chocolates, Li Yishu had to pretend not to see it.

The other person's appearance is really not in his aesthetic level, not to mention that he cut his hair short for filming, and he looks a bit like a man dressed as a woman.
The producer who rushed over after hearing the news looked at Yu Feihong and whispered, "Director Li, how about we not shoot today?"

"Shoot, we'll wrap up in a few days, so wrap up early. Tell everyone to get ready, we'll start shooting in twenty minutes."

Li Yishu shook her head and decided to finish the photo shoot and leave early. The snowy days in Hokkaido were quite interesting when they first arrived, but it became really cold and boring after staying for too long.

Twenty minutes later.

Li Yishu held a loud speaker and shouted in English: "Get ready!" Then he sat back in the director's chair and watched the actors perform.

"You're just filming like this?"

Yu Feihong was dumbfounded, watching the actors performing over there, while Li Yishu just sat there as if nothing had happened.

Li Yishu smiled and said, "We discussed the scenes beforehand and asked them to rehearse many times. Now we just need to pick the best one for filming."

It was not too difficult for him to shoot "Love Letter", and after working together for such a long time, the actors were all immersed in their roles. The lines were discussed in advance, and they just had to perform them out during the shooting.

"Well, it's really easy for you to be a director." Yu Feihong shook her head. In her previous films, the director couldn't wait to come over and explain the scenes to the actors.

“Everyone’s directing style is different.”

Li Yishu shook his head. He was used to comparing with the original film in advance, and then accurately telling the actors how to move, what tone of voice to use, facial expressions and movements... and so on.

In this way, the actors will understand quickly and know how to perform the feeling the director wants.

It looks natural and easy to shoot.

After watching a few scenes being filmed, Yu Feihong felt a little itchy, but he also knew that the crew would be wrapping up soon, so even if he wanted to have a small role to satisfy his desire, he wouldn't have the chance.

Li Yishu saw through her thoughts and said with a smile, "Want to film a movie?"

"Kind of."

"How about I give you a small role when we start filming Farewell My Concubine?"

"Okay, but don't give me too many scenes. It would be best if I had no lines, or only one or two. I still want to prepare to stay in school as a teacher next year."

Yu Feihong is a student of the Beijing Film Academy class of 89. If he wants to stay in school, he has to start preparing next year, Class of 92.

"No problem. I'll have to call you Teacher Yu from now on!"

After saying that, Li Yishu glanced at the people filming, frowned, stood up and shouted, "Zhongshan, what's wrong with you? I told you, don't frown, that's not how you express sadness. Eyes, what I want is the sadness brought out by the eyes!"

Faced with Li Yishu's sudden strong behavior, Yu Feihong was slightly startled. Seeing that he was completely different from usual, he really couldn't adapt to him for a while, but he gave people an inexplicable sense of security.

night.

Li Yishu declined the producer's plan to pick up Yu Feihong at the airport and instead took her to a private hot spring resort not far away.

He was brought here by the producer on his first day here.

This private hot spring center has a comfortable environment. Each suite has an independent hot spring pool and there are dedicated Japanese chefs to provide services.

Looking at the heavy snow falling from the sky, sitting in the hot spring, drinking wine and eating snacks, it feels quite different.

Amy took Yu Feihong to a private room: "Miss Yu, this is your room. Someone has already delivered dinner to the hot spring pool."

"What about you?"

"We're next door."

"Isn't that where the hot spring is?"

Yu Feihong pointed to a wooden door at the end of the room.

"Yes, Miss Yu, there is a hot spring pool inside. After you change your clothes here, you can go there to soak in the hot spring."

"Okay, please Amy."

"You are welcome."

After Amy left, Yu Feihong locked the door and then started to change his clothes.

It was her first time to take a hot spring bath. Looking at the clothes provided by the hot spring, there was only a bath towel and disposable underwear specially provided for women.

That thin style would definitely get wet once it came in contact with water, which made Yu Feihong feel a little embarrassed.

But thinking back to the Hong Kong movies I watched in the past, it seemed that the actors always took a bath wrapped in a bath towel, so I shouldn’t be able to see anything, so I changed my clothes.

After everything was done, Yu Feihong wrapped in a bath towel came to the small wooden door. The moment he opened the door and walked out, he couldn't help shivering. It was still very cold outside.

Just when she was about to soak in the hot spring, she noticed that there was already someone there.

"Li Yishu, why are you taking a hot spring bath here?!"
