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

Chapter 404: Zhu Xian Beautiful Girl and Her Rival
In the evening, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian sat on the bed watching TV.

Although it is in the village, there is still TV signal. With a "dish" on top, many channels can be received.

As it wasn't hot yet, the two of them were covered with a thin blanket, which was quite warm.

Most of the popular TV series nowadays are broadcasted in a four-star broadcast mode, that is, four satellite TV stations broadcast them at the same time. The prices are much higher than those of TV series in the past.

This is also one of the reasons why actors' pay is skyrocketing nowadays.

On TV, Zhongyuan Channel is broadcasting the recently launched "Zhu Xian".

Chen Linfeng paid close attention to this drama. After all, it had nothing to do with his previous life and was a new drama that only appeared because of him.

Mai Zhenhong's soundtrack feels like a perfect match for "Zhu Xian".

The special effects in the drama have improved significantly compared to other dramas.

Even fans of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" drama agree with this.

What Chen Linfeng is mainly concerned about is the story.

It is not easy to adapt online novels, and often trade-offs have to be made.

Looking at the story of "Zhu Xian", the screenwriter did a pretty good job.

This can be seen from Liu Qianqian.

She had not read the original novel, but since watching the drama, she would drag him to watch it together every night.

From Chen Linfeng's perspective, this drama is really good. It tries its best to preserve the flavor of the original work while also making some adaptations.

Many changes have been made, even for the better.

What’s even more amazing is that the characterization of the male protagonist is particularly good.

As expected, she is the former ace screenwriter of Zhou Yi, Chen Manling.

Chen Shantong spent a lot of effort to recruit him, and it was worth it.

In his previous life, this screenwriter had no new works for a while since Zhou Yi disbanded.

When she came out again, the market was completely different from before.

After becoming out of touch with the times, he has not produced any new works to show off.

It’s different now. For Longlin, times have not changed.

A group of male audiences continue to pay attention to domestic TV dramas because of Long Lin's dramas.

Chen Manling can show her talents in this situation.

Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian's aesthetic taste is still in line with the public's thinking. They think it looks good, and most people think so too.

After the broadcast of "Zhu Xian", a group of loyal viewers of Long Lin and fans of the original novel watched it.

Later, as word of mouth spread, it gained recognition from a large number of people.

The male and female protagonists in the drama, Zhang Junning, Jing Tian, ​​and Liu Shishi all became famous because of it and became rising first-tier stars.

Zhang Junning was already quite famous before, after all, he had acted in Long Lin's dramas several times.

In addition, he played the male lead in "Hong Kong Sisters" and "Five Star Hotel", which also had some ratings.

Although he was considered one of the four young actors before, he was more like just making up the numbers.

It is different nowadays. A hit drama in which he plays the leading role has already solidified his godhood.

At least when I meet Nie Yuan, Chen Kun and others at a party again, I won’t feel inferior to them anymore.

Liu Shishi's performance as Lu Xueqi was also very good and was praised by many fans.

But in comparison, Jingtian still made the biggest profit.

Biyao is so popular with fans. She is innocent, dares to love and hate, and is also a little witch.

Jingtian’s appearance is enough to support this role, so his influence is almost beyond the circle.

In his previous life, Jingtian had starred in so many big-budget movies, but he had never been able to achieve anything. However, he achieved it in this TV series.

So much so that Liu Qianqian said enviously, "It's a pity that I didn't get to play such a good role."

Yes, she does not envy a character like Lu Xueqi, but prefers Bi Yao.

Then Chen Linfeng announced that he was a member of the "Xueqi Party".

Liu Qianqian was so angry that she wanted to kick him off the bed.

Actually, saying that I am envious is just a joke.

"Sunset" and "Sherlock Holmes", which one is not more important than "Zhu Xian", even if she plays a supporting role in it, it won't be bad.

What's more, there is also "The Walking Dead".

The drama is expected to be aired in July this year, and in just over a month, she will start participating in the promotion.

In fact, the two of them have quite a lot of promotional tasks in the past two months.

"Taken" is also scheduled for the July summer season. Liu Xixi plays an important supporting role and Chen Linfeng is the director.

"The Ugly Duckling Can Become a Swan" is in August.

Chen Linfeng will also attend the premiere of "Minions".

Liu Qianqian sighed, "It's annoying just thinking about it. It's not good to be too busy."

She originally wanted to make only one film a year.

Chen Linfeng comforted him, "It's okay, I'm with you."

Liu Qianqian complained, "You are the one who led me astray. In your words, you are too 'curvy'."

"That can't be helped. I can't just sit there doing nothing."

There are so many good dramas and movies waiting for him, if he doesn't shoot them, others will.

The next day, Chen Linfeng sat in front of the monitor, looking at the camera in front of him.

In the picture, Liu Qianqian is sitting on the bed with her lower body buried in a blanket. She is only wearing a suspender on her upper body, with one strap playfully slipping down.

She looked around blankly, feeling as if she was in a dream.

Where is this place?
Then she looked down.

Ok?
This towering, um...

What is that which is not very tall?

She put her hands on it tentatively, and it felt soft.

so weird!
She pinched it with both hands through her clothes, then lifted it up from below, and then tried to squeeze it from both sides to the middle...

Had a great time.

The sunlight shines directly on the shoulders and arms, and the crystal skin looks translucent white under the light.

The girl in the camera is so beautiful that she looks like she is in a fantasy, but such a girl is doing such a thing.

Although only the shoulders are exposed, it is full of sexiness and a sense of weirdness comes immediately.

However, such a picture, combined with bgm, will have a different effect.

"Click."

Chen Linfeng stood up and applauded, "Well done, you passed it in one try."

Liu Qianqian relaxed, picked up the coat beside the bed and put it on. It was still a bit cold that day. She looked at Chen Linfeng strangely.

"How did you come up with this plot? Have you ever had a similar fantasy before?"

"Don't slander me, I am very pure."

Liu Qianqian said disdainfully, "Yes, yes, so pure that you want to travel through time and space to touch a girl?"

Chen Linfeng cried out, "It wasn't me who touched you, it was you who touched you."

"I'm telling a story, don't get it mixed up."

"I'm also talking about stories, Chinese entertainment stories."

"Ok?"

……

The two of them exchanged a few words, and the staff moved quickly to continue filming the next shot.

It is difficult to achieve the conditions for natural light, so don't waste time.

Zhang Zifeng, with her hair tied in two small buns, pressed the door, keeping it in the state of having just opened it.

Liu Qianqian maintained the posture at the end of the previous shot, touching her body with her eyes closed, feeling intoxicated.

The camera was behind Zhang Zifeng, and also captured Liu Qianqian inside the door.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"OK, over."

The camera position continues to be adjusted to switch to an indoor perspective.

The whole scene is not long, but it has many camera angles.

We can’t just use two cameras at the same time, because the shots from outside will see inside, which can easily be exposed.

You can't keep shooting because the lighting conditions don't allow it.

This morning sunshine does not last long, so it takes several days to shoot.

This is the troublesome part about shooting movies outdoors using natural light.

It is difficult to always have the right lighting conditions.

But the benefits are also obvious. Sometimes, you can really get a perfect shot.

Just like the scene just now, it is really beautiful in the camera.

However, it doesn’t mean that you can’t continue shooting when it’s time to change the perspective.

This is a post-production thing. The process of shooting from an outside perspective will still be shot in one go.

I'll do it again tomorrow from another angle.

Many times, there is too much material here.

This is where editors come in handy. How to combine different shots into a better story is a test of one’s skills.

Of course, Chen Linfeng did a good job in storyboarding, so most editors can just follow his example.

The next scene is ready, and as the clapperboard sounds, the filming continues.

Liu Qianqian lowered her head and sighed, "Speaking of which, this thing feels just like the real thing."

Then she suddenly realized, "Hmm? Sister?"

She pointed at herself.

"Sister, are you confused?" Zhang Zifeng didn't pay attention to her sister's strange behavior, and just said, "Hurry up and get up to eat."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

"Okay, this one passed."

Chen Linfeng squatted down and touched Zhang Zifeng's head, praising him, "Little Zifeng performed well."

Although it was just a simple recitation of lines and there were no close-up shots, the tone of voice was still very accurate.

Zhang Zifeng looked at the handsome man in front of her, blushed, and whispered, "No, not as good as Sister Xixi."

Liu Qianqian opened the door from the inside, "What's wrong with you not being as good as me?"

"I'm praising your acting skills."

"Is that so?" Liu Qianqian said with a smile, "Little Zifeng's acting was also good. I saw it all."

Zhang Zifeng did not have such a good attitude towards Liu Qianqian.

Without saying a word, he looked at the other person with a distressed expression, then turned and left.

Liu Qianqian was very puzzled. "How did I offend her?"

Chen Linfeng smiled but said nothing. It was not appropriate for him to say anything in this kind of situation.

You can't say that Zhang Zifeng hates his girlfriend because he likes him.

This little boy confessed his love to him on the first day he joined the crew.

Although Chen Linfeng didn't take it seriously, he replied solemnly that the two of them were not of suitable age.

But it is obvious that Zhang Zifeng regards Liu Qianqian as a competitor.

There's nothing I can do about it, this is the case in so many TV dramas I've acted in.

Fortunately, I didn’t meet a guy who treated me as an opponent.

Chen Linfeng clapped his hands and signaled to everyone, "Okay, that's all for now. We should move on and shoot in the village."

I will continue here tomorrow and shoot what I just saw from a different angle. I won’t be able to shoot it today.

Liu Qianqian nodded, then went to change her clothes and put on makeup again.

Chen Linfeng turned his head and looked at Guo Fan, "Let's go, let's change places first."

Guo Fan asked, "Director Chen, for this kind of shot, how do you decide what kind of storyboard is more suitable? I heard that many times, you even think about the editing method in the later stage."

"This is something that can't be taught. It depends on the individual. When you think of a story, some images always appear in your mind. Sometimes the images are very clear and have their own perspective. Just draw them accordingly."

Guo Fan was surprised and asked, "You've already thought about it in your mind?"

"Yeah." Chen Linfeng nodded seriously, as if it were true.

There's no way. I can't say that some of the most impressive movies I've seen many times in my previous life are memorized in my heart.

Guo Fan was completely shocked. So this was the world of geniuses? He finally understood it.

But he is not such a genius, so he still has to consider his own methods.

In the past six months, he has been studying with the crew, and he feels that he is making rapid progress. He always has new understandings, vaguely.

This is all thanks to the teacher.

He looked at Chen Linfeng with a little gratitude.

Chen Linfeng remained serious and solemn, like a real teacher who was teaching and answering questions.

The character is set up very firmly.
