Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 232 Xixi, Call Me Brother Xiaofeng

Liu Qianqian's eyes wandered, "What bet? Why don't I remember it?"

He turned around and fled the scene.

Chen Linfeng hugged her from behind and said, "Don't run away. I'm not forcing you to fulfill your promise now. You've been hiding for several days. If you continue to hide, I'll think I'm single again."

Liu Qianqian was about to struggle, but after hearing this, she asked innocently, "Really? You're not lying to me?"

"I won't lie to you, but it's a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that my Sissi has become a person who doesn't keep her word. I guess her previous claims of wanting to be 'Audrey Hepburn' or 'Gong Li' were just empty talk."

These words were like the devil's whisper, echoing in Liu Qianqian's ears, making her want to cover her ears and not listen to anything.

But my hands were controlled and I couldn’t move at all (actually I didn’t want to move).

Humph, I knew you wouldn't let me go so easily.

Liu Qianqian turned around but did not struggle to break free from the arms around her and remained in her boyfriend's arms.

She nudged Chen Linfeng's chest and said in a sullen tone, "Can't you just forgive me this time? It's said that a real man should be generous."

"Of course I won't make things difficult for my Sissi, it's just that my girlfriend has become..."

"Okay, okay, stop reading," Liu Qianqian stopped him immediately.

She raised her head and called out softly, "Brother~Brother."

Then he said, “Is this okay now?”

Chen Linfeng's ears were numb after hearing this. "More, more."

This is much more powerful than the ASMR in later generations.

"Bah, you think so."

Liu Qianqian felt like she was dizzy. Why did she scream out loud? She was obviously the older one.

Chen Linfeng hugged her tighter.

Of course, given the thick winter clothes, you naturally can't feel anything.

However, the excitement was conveyed to the other party through this action.

Liu Qianqian said angrily, "You only know how to bully me. How can you force your girlfriend to scream like that?"

"There are many couples who do this,"

Chen Linfeng said excitedly, "So next time can you call me 'Brother Xiaofeng'? I think that would be better."

Liu Qianqian became angry and stood on tiptoe to put her cold hands on his neck.

"Hiss~ Your hands are so cold."

But Chen Linfeng would never succumb to this little torture. "Xixi, I'm willing to admit defeat, but you said it."

"Humph, at least change it to once a week, no, once a month, otherwise I won't come."

"Okay, it's a happy decision." Chen Linfeng made the decision immediately.

It was a mistake. I should have said one year.

Xixi's little face was almost completely red, and she looked so delicate and charming.

Chen Linfeng couldn't help himself and pecked it.

"You are not allowed to kiss me today. I am not happy."

Liu Xixi was furious. You have already taken advantage of me with your mouth, and now you want to take advantage of me with your own mouth.

She turned her head away and buried it in her arms to prevent him from seeing her.

Chen Linfeng was so happy looking at his lovely girlfriend that he rubbed her head gently.

The two stood there hugging each other for a while.

Suddenly hearing some noise nearby, Chen Linfeng immediately let go of his hand.

Liu Qianqian was still a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

Following the direction of my boyfriend's finger, I found that it was Zhou Jielun passing by.

Zhou Jielun felt a little embarrassed at this time, not knowing whether to say hello or pretend that he saw nothing.

This is disturbing the love conversation of the young couple.

Fortunately, Chen Linfeng raised his hand at this time, "Hey, Jay Chou is out for a walk."

"Um, I have nothing to do, so I thought I'd go out and see the night view."

By the way, why does he also call me Jay Chou?

Now that I have actually seen it, it is not good to pretend that I didn’t see it at all.

Zhou Jielun laughed and said, "You two should come out and play too."

At this moment, Liu Qianqian huddled behind Chen Linfeng like a quail.

When I heard the question, I didn't know how to answer.

Chen Linfeng took his girlfriend out and said.

"Formally introduce, this is my girlfriend Liu Qianqian."

Liu Qianqian was so shocked by his action that she actually said it out loud.

Although I was surprised, I was actually very happy in my heart.

Then he stopped hiding it and said, "Hello, Jay Chou. I'm dating Xiao Feng now."

Why are you also called Jay Chou?

Zhou Jielun laughed and said, "You two hid well enough that so many paparazzi didn't notice you."

Chen Linfeng spread his hands and said, "Maybe it's because we were good friends in the past. Even if we were together, people wouldn't care too much unless there were photos showing evidence of the incident.

Over time, the paparazzi won’t follow us around and take pictures every day.”

Zhou Jielun was full of envy. He and Hou Peicen had to break up at the end of last year because of the paparazzi.

"I hope you two can stay together for a long time." Zhou Jielun gave his sincere blessings.

Liu Qianqian immediately had a favorable impression of Zhou Jielun. He was such a good man.

The three of them walked and talked.

Zhou Jielun is still more interested in Chen Linfeng.

"You used a lot of old songs in this movie and hired other composers. Why didn't you do it yourself?"

I need that ability, Chen Linfeng complained secretly.

The main problem was jazz. He had never heard much of it in his previous life, so he couldn't remember it.

Of course, that can’t be said.

"I don't know much about jazz, so I won't embarrass myself."

This is the truth.

Zhou Jielun seemed to be thinking about something. It turned out that even geniuses have areas that they cannot take care of. There are too many categories of music, and it is obvious that Xiao Chen does not have the energy to explore more areas.

He asked curiously, "Then how did you come up with the idea of ​​using jazz as a subject?"

Chen Linfeng blinked, "Because it's niche enough to be pretentious?"

Zhou Jielun couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that the legendary Xiao Chen also had this side.

"..."

Liu Qianqian tilted her head and watched the two people in front of her chatting animatedly.

Why is it that when Xiaofeng and I are together, he is not so engaged in the conversation (actually he is just busy making out)?
She was somewhat jealous.

Chen Linfeng was having a good chat when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He turned his head and saw Liu Qianqian, who was staring at the back of Zhou Jielun's head fiercely, as if she was going to hit him.

Chen Linfeng was startled and stopped chatting. "Mr. Zhou, let's stop talking about this for today. I said I would go shopping with Xixi. I forgot about it."

"Oh, I won't bother you anymore."

When waving goodbye, he remembered that he forgot to ask, "Why do you call me Jay Chou? You are not from my company."

When Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian were outside, they did not show any intimacy, but just walking side by side was enough.

Liu Qianqian enjoyed the process and felt a sense of joy and peace.

The next day, the crew held a brief opening ceremony.

Chen Linfeng did not invite any reporters, and the specific promotion will not be officially launched until the film festival period.

In the early stages, relying solely on online blogs, forums and other related channels can already have a warm-up effect.

The filming of "Whiplash" was done in a sequential manner because it involved almost no location shooting.

It doesn't cost much more.

At the beginning of the movie, there are many shots of the protagonist playing drums.

Chen Linfeng did this entirely by himself.

When he learned to play drums, he practiced rock drums, which are somewhat different from jazz drums.

Rock requires drummers to focus on strength and speed. They must be able to strike the drum head quickly and forcefully to create a strong sense of rhythm.

Jazz, on the other hand, requires drummers to use a lot of intensive rolling, pressing and other techniques.

Chen Linfeng only has the basics of the former, and he practiced for a while before the filming started, so he is completely at the level of a beginner jazz drummer.

This is actually better, because there is no need to invite an expert to install it, and he may not be able to install it to the level of an amateur.

In this early continuous shot, Chen Linfeng used a lot of long shots to show the protagonist's early level, which is consistent with the setting.

Zhou Jielun listened with his eyes closed and frowned slightly.

It seems that Xiao Chen was right, his jazz level is indeed average.

The consultant teacher invited as jazz drummer is named Liu He.

He himself graduated from the Yenching Academy of Contemporary Music, the strongest jazz major in the country, and also studied at the Vienna Conservatory of Music and the Berklee College of Music.

He was a drummer in Cui Jian's band in the last century and could be considered one of the best jazz drummers in the country.

He had a good opinion of Xiao Chen's drumming skills.

The basics are okay, and it sounds a little unfamiliar, but the hands are quick and the pitch is accurate, which fits the setting in the script perfectly.

Chen Linfeng invited Liu He this time not only to play drums when his level was not up to par in the later stages.

They are also responsible for assessing the protagonist's jazz drumming skills at different times to ensure that it is in line with the development of the story.

Following him as an advisory group are several teachers from Yenching Modern University, and they have to make a judgment together.

Liu He will take over in the middle of the plot, but he needs to control his level until the last performance, so that he can give his full performance.

In terms of music, Chen Linfeng has achieved the ultimate.

Make sure that even an expert cannot find any fault with it.

There was also Zhou Jielun outside the venue, who was also paying attention. Although Chen Linfeng didn't know, he was also secretly evaluating the content of the music.

Chen Linfeng also has a mission of his own.

He wants to improve his skills as much as possible during this period. In the early stage, he will use more panoramic or long lenses to show his skills.

In post-production, at least when cutting shots, don't show any timidity in your movements.

Of course, this is not something to worry about.

He has a good foundation and is making rapid progress. He can complete the simple parts in the early stage under the guidance of the teacher, and the small number of panoramic shots in the later stage are not a problem either.

Another preparation process is completed.

After Cheng Er confirmed with various departments, he began the procedures.

"Attention all departments, ACTION!"

With the sound of the script supervisor's clapboard, a new shot begins.

There are two cameras pointing at both sides at the same time.

Chen Linfeng didn't pay attention to anything else. He was immersed in his own world and focused on playing the drums.

He had been playing for a long time before that.

At this time, a middle-aged teacher in a casual suit came into the corridor.

He looked up and saw that it was the school's most famous teacher, Li Xuechang, a talented person who could lead his team to win awards in international competitions.

Chen Linfeng felt a little expectant, and it showed on his face involuntarily.

The other person looked somewhat amiable, and clapped his hands together, allowing himself to swing at double the speed.

Chen Linfeng fought as hard as he could, but when he looked up again, there was no one in the corridor.

He was a little frustrated and was silent for a moment.

"Click."

Chen Linfeng stood up, walked to the monitor and checked the previously captured footage.

There is nothing wrong with the content of my footage.

When it was Li Xuejian's turn, he looked at it carefully for a while and then called the lighting team.

"Add some shadows to Mr. Li Xuejian's face. I want the front to be illuminated, but the surrounding contours to be dark. Do you understand?"

There had been a lighting test before, but this time he had an additional new idea.

A devil teacher is not necessarily one who always maintains a ferocious attitude ready to devour anyone.

On the contrary, he might appear to be somewhat kind at ordinary times. This was a setting that he changed based on his appearance characteristics after discussing with Li Xuejian.

When facing ordinary people, Teacher Li Xuechang is usually very kind and friendly.

But when he is in his own territory and facing the students, he will show a different face.

At the beginning, when Teacher Li appears, he will have a kind attitude, and only hints are given through light, shadow and camera language.

In this way, when ordinary audiences watch the show, they will be surprised by the teacher's character setting that changes his face like a normal face.

Professionals and judges will find out the inside story earlier. They generally don't like plot twists because they tend to be more commercial films.

"Understood. I'll adjust it." Liu Qingshan, the lighting technician, nodded affirmatively.

Then go back and make adjustments immediately.

Although Mr. Liu is still in charge of the lighting team, he has now handed over the specific work to Liu Qingshan.

If I really encounter a difficult problem, I will take action myself.

But at present, Liu Qingshan is doing a good job and nothing has gone wrong.

During the early preparations, he also led the photography crew to help arrange the lighting and debug the photography equipment.

Taking advantage of this time, he walked up to Li Xuejian and asked.

"How is it, Teacher Li, are you feeling okay?"

"Director Chen, don't worry about me. I'm in great shape."

Li Xuejian felt a little excited watching the crew's operation.

He spent almost a month at the music conservatory, and since recovering from his illness, he has been working hard for performances, which is rare.

This made him feel strange, but at the same time, he also felt that he was quickly becoming familiar.

Nowadays, whenever I hear the sound of drums, I feel excited.

Li Xuejian knew that he was getting into the state.

Perhaps, he can bring out his strongest strength.

Veteran actors know how to stay in shape.
