Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 53 Fatty Fan: Why is a lackey so arrogant?!

What a disaster!
Yan Li held his forehead with his hand. Who could have imagined that an actor would not like others mentioning his most famous role?

Well, it’s understandable. Yan Li suddenly thought of the role he played, Yuwen Chengdu.

If one day someone praised his performance as Yuwen Chengdu and said that he particularly liked the role, Yan Li would probably not be in a good mood.

However, having said that, Yan Li felt that he was not to blame for his ignorance and that his intentions were good. It was okay for the girl to be unhappy, but she was also a bit angry at him.

She is so narrow-minded, no wonder she is not as good as Xiaoyanzi and Ruby Lin!
Yan Li grumbled inwardly and lowered his opinion of Fan Xiaopang.

Of the remaining pieces of information, two were about the stock market, two were internal information of "The Cornucopia", and one was Liang Guanhua's opinion of Yan Li.

In stark contrast to Fan Xiaopang, Liang Guanhua has a high opinion of Yan Li and has a good impression of him.

Yan Li felt comfortable this time!
No one would feel close to someone who doesn't like them, especially Yan Li, who has a clear distinction between love and hate.

If there are other purposes, it's fine. If they have normal interactions and others like him and treat him as a friend, then Yan Li will also treat them as a friend. On the contrary, if others are disgusted with or hate Yan Li, then Yan Li will not try to please others.

...

The next day, Yan Li went out for running and boxing as usual in the morning. Liang Guanhua told him yesterday that the hotel has a special fitness area.

But Yan Li felt that exercising outdoors was more comfortable, as he could enjoy the scenery and breathe fresh air.

There was no filming in the morning, so Yan Li practiced for a while, looked at the stock market, and went to put on makeup after lunch. Then he met Pang Dan, who played the role of "wife" Su Liniang in the play, in the dressing room!
How to say it, this person is actually an "old acquaintance" of Yan Li.

When he was young, Yan Li watched a lot of the other party's third-level discs, such as "Evil Killer", "Extreme Beastiality", "Six Witches", "Triad" and other works, which were a feast for the eyes.

Looking back now, I can only use one word to sum it up -

really big!

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the weather, makeup, or insufficient pay, Diana Pang did not show her strengths in the drama "Cornucopia".

Yan Li learned his lesson this time and did not go up to him and say that he particularly liked his certain play. Instead, he started a conversation in a proper manner.

What surprised Yan Li a little was that he thought that because Pang Dan had appeared in Hong Kong's Category III films, her personality was more of a heroic, generous, and unconcerned type of person.

However, when they started chatting, he found that although this person had a cheerful personality, his words and deeds were very cultured, which was completely different from what he had imagined.

I can only say that there is sometimes a big difference between the images in movies and TV shows and real people.

Not long after, Liang Guanhua also arrived and joined in putting on makeup and chatting.

Compared with Peng, Liang Guanhua is indeed quite like Zhang Daming in "The Happiness of Chatterbox Zhang Daming", with a kind temper and a love of talking.

Yan Li really likes chatting with such people. They are good at talking and they can joke with each other and brag about their little things. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed, and he enjoys working with them.

After putting on makeup, the three of them went to the scene to film. Yan Li didn't have many scenes, and the main part was how he and Liang, Peng and others conspired to plot against Shen Wansan.

As for Song Dian played by Yan Li, Liang Hepeng from the "Cornucopia" crew should be the actors with whom he had the most scenes, followed by the protagonist Zhang Weijian.

Next is Fan Xiaopang, who plays the second female lead Zhao Xue'e.

In the play, Song Dian has always been thinking about Zhao Xue'e and wanted to snatch her back from Shen Wansan. When he was dying, he ran to Zhao Xue'e's tomb to pay tribute, and thus met Shen Wansan and reconciled with him.

After filming began, Pang Dan performed normally, and Liang Guanhua seemed to want to weigh up Yan Li's weight. His performance was more delicate than usual, with greater layering and explosiveness, and there were also many changes in the lines.

Yan Li didn’t know how Liang Guanhua had performed before, and thought that this was the daily strength of the mainstay of the People’s Art Theatre.

Although surprised by the change in the lines, Yan Li still performed at his own pace and took on the role steadily.

After starring in "Conquer", let's not talk about how much Yan Li's acting skills have improved, but after acting with powerful actors such as Sun Honglei and Jiang Shan, his psychological endurance during performance is obviously much stronger than before.

This is actually very important!

Many young actors who have graduated from professional schools have sufficient basic acting skills, at least they can handle most ordinary plots that do not require high performance, but the premise is that they perform normally.

Some young actors cannot perform well, not only because of their poor abilities, but more importantly because of their poor mentality.

I get nervous when I get to the scene, I get timid when I see the camera, and I get scared before I even start acting when I meet my seniors. My mind is in a mess, I forget most of my lines and characters, and my hands, feet, and face are out of control. It's no wonder I can act well.

Therefore, compared to being able to act, the most important thing for newcomers is to dare to act.

Yan Li had an advantage in this area. He was naturally strong-willed and courageous, and with the system's backing, he became even more confident. After training in "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Conquer," minor fights couldn't scare him at all.

Someone with better acting skills than Yan Li might be able to outshine him when acting opposite him, but they won't lead him astray or cause him to lose his composure and make mistakes.

After the director passed it, Liang Guanhua gave Yan Li a thumbs up and praised him a few words.

In this age group, Yan Li is not the best young actor he has ever seen, but he is definitely among the top.

Compared to those young actors who are full of spirit and gifted, Yan Lisheng has solid basic skills and a certain talent, so he can act steadily and well, which makes his acting range wide and his lower limit high.

Liang Guanhua even wanted to persuade Yan Li to try his hand at drama at the People's Art Theatre. Some of the old masters in their theatre were attracted to this kind of promising actor.

If Yan Li knew what Liang Wanhua was thinking, he would definitely refuse politely.

He is not opposed to acting in a drama, but he does not want to play the same role over and over again. Instead, he prefers to try different roles and stories like in movies and TV shows, and then do his best to perform and bloom. This is his preferred way of acting.

Of course, making more money and gaining greater fame by filming movies and TV shows is also a reason that cannot be ignored.

Yan Li had fewer scenes today, so he finished filming after a few takes. Liang Peng hadn't finished yet, so Yan Li said hello and went to the dressing room to remove his makeup.

When I arrived at the dressing room, I found Fan Xiaopang and another middle-aged actress, who should be playing the mother in the play, putting on makeup together. I guess they had a night scene.

Yan Li gave a standard polite smile, nodded, then found a seat, closed his eyes and let the makeup artist remove his makeup.

Since people have a mediocre impression of him and he is not an important person worth making friends with, then they should just stay away from each other to avoid being an eyesore to each other.

Fat Fan looked at Yan Li with his eyes closed and frowned slightly.

Although this guy wasn't very talkative the last time we met, he was still quite friendly. Why is he so cold today?
She was confused, but since it was just a colleague she had only met once, Fat Fan didn't take it too seriously and continued putting on her makeup.

After a few minutes, there was a little noise in the dressing room. Fan Xiaopang looked back and saw that it was the crew's producer Cheng Li who came to the dressing room.

Just as Fat Fan was about to say hello, he saw Yan Li, who had just closed his eyes to rest, coming over with a bright smile on his face.

"Mr. Cheng, why are you here?"

"I was just passing by and came in to see you all."

Cheng Lidong smiled and patted Yan Li's arm: "Today is your first day on set. How do you feel?"

"It's fine. Teacher Liang and Sister Peng Dan are taking good care of me. Thank you for your concern. You are so busy every day, but you still think of me."

"..."

Yan Li and Cheng Lidong were chatting animatedly. After the latter greeted others, the two went to the door to smoke a cigarette and chatted for a few minutes before Cheng Lidong left.

When he entered the dressing room again, Yan Li saw Fat Fan looking at him with great interest and asked.

"Are you familiar with Director Cheng?"

Haha, he didn't say anything just now, but when he saw that he was familiar with the producer, he started to talk to him.

"is acceptable."

Yan Li felt disgusted and said something perfunctorily. Fatty Fan then asked, "How did you two know each other?"

"Introduced by a friend."

"What friends? Are they also from our circle?"

"Ah."

Fan Xiaopang was about to ask more, but Yan Li was too lazy to talk nonsense. He gave another standard polite smile, turned around to talk to the makeup artist, and then closed his eyes to rest, making it clear that he didn't want to bother with Fan Xiaopang.

"..."

Being ignored, Fatty Fan swung the knife at Yan Li with angry eyes, gritting his teeth.

Why is a producer's lackey so arrogant?!
