Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 177 Su Youpeng: Who will save me?
……

……

"Okay, absolutely perfect."

Su Youpeng's satisfied voice broke the subtle atmosphere in the classroom.

Chen Duling suddenly lowered her head.

Gu Qing's sudden, unexpected glance back made her feel like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

The panic and shyness captured by the camera are absolutely genuine.

Seeing her reaction, Su Youpeng clapped his hands happily: "That's a wrap, everyone, thank you for your hard work."

"Let's pack up and go burn incense and pray to Buddha together. This will be a good omen for the official start of filming!"

"Worship...worship Buddha?"

Guan Xiaotong muttered to herself, a little curious.

"Yes, it's a launch ceremony, just for good luck, peace, and smooth sailing," Ou Hao explained from the side.

The production team was very efficient.

An incense table was specially set up in a relatively quiet open space outside the teaching building.

The altar was covered with a red cloth, on which were placed incense burners, offerings (mainly fruits and pastries), and most eye-catching of all was a golden, smiling statue of the God of Wealth.

As the director, Su Youpeng was naturally the first to step forward. With a devout expression, he skillfully lit three incense sticks on the candle and bowed three times respectfully to the statue of the God of Wealth.
He muttered to himself, "May the God of Wealth bless our 'Left Ear' crew with a successful start to filming, smooth production, box office success, and abundant wealth..."

He bowed with utmost seriousness, as if this were the most important part of the entire ceremony.

Gu Qing stood to the side, watching, her gaze sweeping over the traditional statue of Guan Yu, the God of Wealth, and a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and regret) welled up in her heart:
"The righteous and loyal Guan Yu has become a god of wealth, no wonder his face is getting redder and redder."

This thought carried a slightly helpless smile, but it also showed that Su Youpeng, as a director from Taiwan, followed their tradition of placing more emphasis on "good fortune" when starting filming.

Next,
When it was Gu Qing's turn to step forward, he composed himself, his face displaying the focus and respect expected in a work setting.

He also lit three incense sticks on the candle flame, gently fanned out the flame, and wisps of smoke rose up.

Gu Qing held the incense sticks in both hands, placed them in front of his forehead, and bowed three times earnestly to the image of the God of Wealth on the incense table.

Whether you believe it or not, you still have to show the respect you deserve.

Guan Xiaotong, Chen Duling, and others also offered incense in turn.

Three sticks of incense, their smoke swirling, carrying different hopes and wishes, ultimately merging into the summer air.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the incense table and the people around them.

Watching the wisps of smoke rise, Su Youpeng took a deep breath, a confident smile on his face, and announced in a loud voice:
"Alright! Incense has been offered, and prayers have been made to the gods! I hereby declare—the film 'The Left Ear' has officially begun filming!"

"Good luck with the start-up!" Everyone responded in unison, and applause rang out.

"From today onwards, all crew members, including actors, must address each other according to their characters in the play, understand?"

"Understood, Director."

"Okay, let's shoot the first scene."

Su Youpeng rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work. "Li Bala, change your clothes."

The film crew went to a nearby dilapidated house and began setting up a bar set that looked outdated from the early 2000s.

Gu Qing handed the shoulder bag to her assistant, then suddenly noticed Chen Duling still standing blankly in front of the school gate. She asked in surprise, "Aren't you leaving?"

"With the film crew?"

Chen Duling was a little at a loss, "But the director didn't say that we were going to film my scenes today."

Is this your first time acting?

"right…"

"Then you'd better go to the location and familiarize yourself with the environment, otherwise your mind will go blank when filming starts."

Gu Qing paused for a moment, then said, "As for why I know this, don't ask."

Chen Duling's lips curved into a slight smile, and she was about to say thank you.

Gu Qing turned around and led her assistant into a motorhome.

"Sister Xiaoya, do you have any good RV recommendations?"

After getting on the bus, Gu Qing was not very satisfied with the facilities.

Celebrities generally have two choices when it comes to filming.

It's more convenient to buy your own RV or rent a local RV when you arrive in a new place.

"Boss, you should have bought a good RV a long time ago."

"I'm waiting for the company to pay me, aren't I? A bunch of tightwads, playing dead every day, and saying that renting a car is more convenient."

"They only think about making money off me, but they don't think about spending any of it."

Gu Qing leaned back on the sofa, dissatisfied.

"Boss, what are your expectations regarding the price of the RV?"

Zhao Ya was searching on her phone, "The prices are generally between several hundred thousand and over a million."

"Let's look for projects in the millions. We can't skimp on ourselves once we've made money; the facilities have to be top-notch."

Gu Qing replied casually.

“Is there a requirement for the number of people?”

"5 to 8 people, not too big."

Zhao Ya was extremely efficient and quickly found several RV models for Gu Qing.

The average is between 100 million and 200 million.

For example, the Ford E450, priced at approximately 200 million yuan, is Uncle Benshan's personal car.

The Toyota Alphard, a favorite of Andy Lau, is priced at 100 million yuan.

"It looks a bit old-fashioned."

Gu Qing looked at several vehicles and finally chose the GMC Business Star from the GMC brand series.

Priced at 150 million.
The main color scheme is agate black with carbon fiber trim, and the center console features a waterfall design, giving it a futuristic, interstellar warship feel.

Seating configuration: 4 Gulfstream airline seats, supporting electric rotation/massage/ventilation and heating, and the rear seats can be electrically reclined into a bed.

The car is equipped with smart features, including in-car WiFi, an electric wine cabinet, chrome-plated LED reading lights, and dual in-car refrigerators.

"By the way, before placing the order, ask if it's possible to modify a space to make room for the computer."

"If possible, I'll place an order. I want to see the finished vehicle as soon as possible."

Gu Qing thought, if a motorhome doesn't have a computer, can it still be called a motorhome?
"Okay, boss, I'll go to the store and ask directly."

Zhao Ya, along with her driver, set off with great enthusiasm.

Gu Qingze spent some time reading the script in the car, studying the character, and then, feeling a bit tired, closed his eyes for a short rest.

……

—Inside the simple bar,

"Crack!"

Su Youpeng screamed hoarsely, his usually gentle face contorted with rage, "Are you pigs?!"

"How many takes have we done? You can't even act out a single line or expression?!"

The crew remained silent, terrified.

Su Youpeng is going crazy.

In the past, when he was an actor, he felt that directors would scold people all the time, like they were crazy.

But now,
Su Youpeng expressed remorse.

How can we not curse these pigs?!
The opening scene was very simple.
The story introduces Li Bala as a notorious bad girl who, while her peers were still in school, had already learned to earn money to support her family through her looks and charm.

Ma Sichun had to pose provocatively on stage, which angered a girl who threw a bottle at her feet and accused her of seducing her boyfriend.

It's just such a simple action and plot.

The bottles were almost all smashed, and the camera hadn't even captured it yet. Do you think Alec Su is crazy?

On the left,
Following Gu Qing's advice, Chen Duling quietly stood outside the surveillance camera and observed.

Every time he smashed the bottle and Su Youpeng yelled "Crack!" and cursed,

Even that could frighten her so much that her body trembled.

Chen Duling pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little glad that she had come to the scene in advance to get used to it.

Otherwise, she might encounter this situation while filming.

I think she'll actually cry.

Coincidentally,
Ma Sichun was already crying.

She was originally quite confident in her acting skills.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Su Youpeng, who was directing a film for the first time.

Actors typically go through a process before becoming directors.

Generally speaking,
Only exceptionally talented actors can accumulate the capital to become directors.

Alec Su has starred in many classic dramas, and can be described as excellent.

But this often leads to a result,
Such an excellent actor becoming a director,

He believes that all actors can perform in the way he sees actors.

What I could do in one go back then, why can't you?
Isn't crying scenes simple?

If you close your eyes, the tears will flow out, won't they?

Just like how Michael Jordan taught people to play basketball,
Scoring? Too easy.

such,

If you have a good shot, you can fake out the defender and then take a step and shoot directly; if you have a good drive, you can fake out the defender and then drive straight to the basket and score, right?
Other players: "???"

This is exactly what Maschin is doing now.

The continuous NGs left him utterly devastated, and he sobbed incessantly while wiping away tears.

"Stop, stop, stop, let's take a break."

"Try to calm yourself down."

Su Youpeng pinched his throbbing temples, forcibly suppressing his anger that was about to erupt.
