Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 25 Short Film Finalists, Who Are You Interviewing? (Please Read and Collect)

"The Sky of Eighteen Years Old" required the use of a school for filming.

Now it is November in the Gregorian calendar, and it is far from the winter vacation.

It’s not easy to find a shooting location.

The crew members searched for two days and finally found a suitable one.

A new campus of a middle school in Shanghai.

The vice president introduced to director Li Guoli and Tang Wen:

"This place is just across the road from our old campus. The main teaching building, academic affairs building, and administrative building have been built. Multimedia classrooms and physics, chemistry, and biology laboratories are also available."

Physics, chemistry and biology laboratory?

Tang Wen said that he had been to middle school twice in his two lives, but had never seen what a laboratory looked like.

The middle schools in this Magic City are almost more luxurious than ordinary universities.

"I think this place is nice." Li Guoli looked at Tang Wen.

Tang Wen considers himself as assistant director, but director Li Guoli will not neglect him.

Although he repeatedly stated that he was here just to learn.

But whether it was Cai Yinong or Li Guoli, they were still polite and respectful.

"Director Li, it's up to you to decide."

"Okay, props team. Start setting up the set today and it must be completed within five days. I've checked the almanac, and we have to start filming on time!"

Director Li is from Hong Kong, so naturally he brought the customs there to the mainland.

Decide on a shooting location.

The crew members also booked a hotel nearby.

The main actors arrived one after another.

That afternoon, Tang Wen looked at the time and drove the Santana 2000 borrowed from Shanghai Film Studio straight to the airport.

T2 arrival floor.

A woman and a man walked towards Tang Wen, one in front and one behind.

The man walking behind, Zu Feng, just raised his arm and waved at Tang Wen.

Then, he saw the beautiful long-legged girl who was on the same plane as him running towards Tang Wen quickly.

Then, the two hugged each other tightly.

Are we friends?

This guy’s girlfriend is Dong Xuan.

Zu Feng just finished guessing.

Seeing the beautiful girl again, she took the initiative to hug Tang Wen's neck and kissed him.

Zu Feng stopped and frowned.

You read that right, it’s this kid Tang Wen!
Did he break up with Dong Xuan?

Just as he was wondering, Zu Feng saw Tang Wen hugging the person in his arms, making faces and winking at him.

Zu Feng: ...

The two separated, Tang Wen pulled the embarrassed Tang Wei and introduced:

"Brother Feng, this is Tang Wei, the campus beauty of the Central Academy of Drama. She plays the second female lead in this drama. You have seen our relationship."

Zu Feng: Okay, okay, another school belle.

"I'm Zu Feng, a teacher at Beijing Film Academy. I'm also Tang Wen's friend. You can just call me Brother Feng."

On the way, Tang Wei was both excited and nervous.

Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "Director Li is from Hong Kong. What's his temper like? Is he strict with the actors?"

Tang Wen smiled and patted her hands: "Don't worry, I'm here. Just focus on studying the character. If you don't understand something, ask Brother Feng. He's our acting teacher."

Tang Wei was very smart. He immediately turned around and said, "Teacher Zu Feng, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you in the future."

"Okay, no need to be so polite." Zu Feng glanced at Tang Wen and remembered the last time he filmed the "Fairy Tale" MV and knew about Dong Xuan's acting.

Young people are really having fun.

However, this kind of emotional issue is too personal, so he can't say anything.

The hotel we stayed in was only three stars.

The small crew has few people, so renting two floors is enough for them.

The main actors, including Zu Feng, all had single rooms.

"Do you miss me?" Tang Wen took Tang Wei into the room, without even closing the door, and she hugged him tightly.

"I do." Tang Wen expressed his deep longing with practical actions.

"What are you thinking about every day? No, don't we have to meet the director later?" Tang Wei blushed.

Tang Wen made a strong request, so she had to compromise and give him the benefits.

Her boyfriend must have put in a lot of effort to get a newcomer like her to play the second female lead.

Although Tang Wen didn't say it.

But he didn't even go back to school, and stayed here to keep an eye on the crew. He must be afraid that someone else would snatch his role.

Half an hour later, Tang Wei hurriedly changed her clothes and put on makeup.

Go to the conference room with Tang Wen to meet the main creators.

Director Li Guoli was surrounded in the middle, and the other core figure was Cai Yinong.

Tangren has only been established for two or three years, but most of the actors and actresses it has worked with are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In addition, she also has the agency contract with director Li Guoli.

Mr. Cai’s name is still very intimidating.

"Hello, Director. I'm Tang Wei."

They had just greeted the director when Cai Yinong separated from the crowd and came over.

Both sides have introduced themselves.

Tang Wei complimented with a surprised look on her face: "I didn't expect Ms. Cai to be so successful in her career and still so young and beautiful."

Cai Yinong was very happy to be praised: "Have you signed a contract with an agency?" Tang Wei's heart moved, and he looked at Tang Wen and said, "She is still a student."

Cai Yinong looked at the talented man and beautiful woman and wanted to recruit them both under his command.

A singer, screenwriter, director and a beautiful actress.

Just think about it and there is a future.

"Director Tang Wen, I think you can really consider coming to Shanghai to develop your career. There are too many actors and bigwigs in the capital, which is not conducive to young people making a name for themselves."

"Thank you, Mr. Cai. I will consider it." Tang Wen understood what she meant, but he would not join another company and work for them.

The main personnel were all present, and Tang Wen’s youth was surprising.

Since there are no famous actors, there is essentially no problem of anyone acting like a big shot in the crew.

Only Nie Yuan had doubts: "Is my character a little childish?"

He plays Shi Yanfeng, a rich second-generation, nicknamed Shita, no, star.

Not very pleasing.

But it is impossible to change the plot.

Facing the eyes of the crowd, Tang Wen spoke freely:

"He is a carefree rich second-generation who was pampered when he was brought up.

He is the engine and core character of a series of plots.

The beginning is not pleasing, but the change at the end is in line with the theme of growth.

The character arc will be more moving.”

"The character arc is well described." Director Li Guoli led the applause.

What else can the little unknown Nie Yuan say?

Try to memorize your lines.

Tang Wei saw it and couldn't suppress his smile.

My boyfriend is really awesome.

There is no doubt about the level of director Li Guoli.

There was nothing difficult about the script and the filming went smoothly.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the shooting progress was gratifying.

This is Tang Wen and Tang Wei’s first play.

There is a lot to learn, and the two are very busy every day.

Even though we lived upstairs and downstairs, we didn't have much time to be alone together.

At the end of each day, Tang Wen’s director team would hold a meeting to review the filming content, and they would often be busy until late at night.

Tang Wei was busy looking for Sun Li and Zu Feng to help improve his acting skills.

The only time they could be together for a while was when they were eating.

Everyone in the crew knew that they were a couple.

No one is so blind as to try to take advantage of Tang Wei.

“Half of the shooting time has passed and two-thirds of the progress has been completed.

What Shanghai Film Group meant was that the film should be edited after filming and aired as soon as possible.

But the TV series needs exposure, let’s have a media open day!”

The first time Tang Wen raised an opinion was about publicity.

In fact, he has been doing publicity all the time.

All major websites have live broadcast posts of the crew.

He would take some stills and post them online, and let Sun Chao, who was in the imperial capital, direct the typists to maintain the popularity.

As for the media day, he had already thought of the point of hype, which was to hype the scandal between Bao Jianfeng and Sun Li.

As for what Mr. Huang Sanshi thinks, well, I believe he can understand.

Shanghai Film Group stepped in and contacted various media outlets.

The reporters arrived and each one was more eloquent than the other, praising the crew in different ways.

After writing the manuscript, I sent it to the crew for their review first.

They only released it to the public after they confirmed that there were no problems.

After all, the media in Shanghai cannot help but give face to Shanghai Film Group.

A few days later, the peace of the crew was broken again.

"Marrying the Wrong Man in the Right Carriage" is broadcast on cable in the capital.

The lead actor Nie Yuan initially gained fame in the entertainment industry.

For several consecutive days, several groups of reporters came to interview.

Realizing that he was going to be famous, the young Nie Yuan started to act like a cool character, just like the character he played in the drama, becoming visibly cool and aloof.

It adds a little twist to everyday photography.

That evening, Tang Wen received a call from Mr. Ren himself.

"Helpful Life" was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, and Shanghai Film Studio received an invitation.

Tang Wen is needed to cooperate with the interview to bring fame to Shanghai Film Group and Shanghai Animation Studio.

Tang Wen didn't refuse.

So, the next day.

Suddenly a group of reporters came to the group, singing and talking in large numbers, far more than before.

Nie Yuan, who was filming, became unconsciously hurried in his expressions and movements.

Tang Wen sighed. Young people just can't keep their cool.

The camera failed to respond after three NGs, so he reminded: "This time the reporter is not interviewing you, so act well."

Unexpectedly, Nie Yuan was very angry: "If you don't interview me, will you interview me?"
