Become Famous Another Day

Although Huang Tianlin was murmuring in his heart, he still cooperated with Lu Yanhe and acted out such a scene in front of Huang Feng.

"Can I act?" Lu Yanhe said to Huang Tianlin very impatiently, "Director, I'm very busy, okay? I can't even schedule rehearsals. How can I shoot it later?"

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yanhe said this, Huang Feng, who was originally pestering his mother to eat ice cream, immediately turned his head and glanced at them.

Qin Shulan was right, Huang Feng was indeed a very clever and perceptive child.

Huang Tianlin cooperated and pretended not to see Huang Feng looking over, and said, "He is still a child, please be more patient."

"There are only actors here, no children." Lu Yanhe said irritably, "If you do this, I really won't be able to continue filming."

After saying that, Lu Yanhe turned around and left.

Huang Tianlin sighed.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, Huang Feng's "I want to play! I'm not serious!" expression just now was completely gone.

Ten minutes later, Lu Yanhe was invited out again.

He looked at Huang Feng: "Can you act?"

Huang Feng pursed his lips and his eyes became a little timid, "I can act."

As soon as the show started, Lu Yanhe was shocked by Huang Feng who was seriously involved in the show.

When Huang Feng acted like the younger brother in the script, he played rogue with him, and after being scolded by him for a few words, he started to attack him. However, the brother played by Lu Yanhe couldn't bear it, and after giving him an elbow in return, Huang Feng burst into tears.

This was just a show, but Huang Feng cried just because he wanted to.

His eyes turned red instantly, and he burst into tears.

“…”

This kid is really wronged.

Lu Yanhe sighed in his heart.

He had to pat his head and comfort him.

-

So, after two hours on the set, they finally entered the official shooting stage.

Lu Yanhe finally realized how ridiculous Huang Tianlin's requirements for the camera were.

Huang Tianlin will never stop before you finish the scene.

Even if your performance is not as good as he wants, he will not stop. He will wait for you to finish your performance and then tell you where you can make adjustments.

Each one comes in its entirety.

But acting like this consumes a lot of energy.

Therefore, after each performance, Huang Tianlin would let them rest for ten to twenty minutes.

On the fifth take, Huang Tianlin was still dissatisfied. The reason he was dissatisfied this time was because he felt that after Lu Yanhe was slapped by Qin Shulan, he looked up at the wrong angle in disbelief.

Everyone in Lu Yanhe was stunned.

What the hell?

Wrong angle?

Huang Tianlin immediately showed him how he wanted Lu Yanhe to raise his head.

Basically, the neck is just raised a little bit, and the key is the eyes.

What Huang Tianlin wants is a pair of angry eyes that look sideways from bottom to top.

Lu Yanhe nodded, indicating that he understood.

Huang Tianlin did not start this scene over again, but directly asked Qin Shulan and Lu Yanhe to start with a slap in the face.

There are two cameras, one for Qin Shulan and one for Lu Yanhe.

Huang Tianlin said: "Sister Lan, for this slap, I want it to feel very crisp, sharp, loud but not heavy."

Qin Shulan: "..."

However, it is obvious that Qin Shulan has adapted to Huang Tianlin's style.

She nodded and said to Lu Yanhe: "Yanhe, cover your face with your hands first, and I'll give it a try."

Lu Yanhe said: "It's okay, come directly."

"Don't come directly." Qin Shulan said to Lu Yanhe, "Trust me."

Lu Yanhe felt that there was something in Qin Shulan's words, but since Qin Shulan said so, of course he was willing.

Between actors, especially mature actors, sometimes it is the simplest and most trouble-free way to just do it over and over again.

Then, Lu Yanhe understood why Qin Shulan said, "Don't come directly."

Qin Shulan tried to hit the back of his hand several times, but Huang Tianlin was not satisfied.

Either it feels slow or it feels heavy...

Huang Tianlin said: "This slap is her annoyance towards her brother. This annoyance is not about blaming her brother for bullying her brother, but why her brother can't help her share the burden when she is so hard, but to cause trouble for her." . Sister Lan, this slap is not to show the feeling of "why are you bullying your brother", but the feeling of "can you understand something and save me some worries".

Lu Yanhe felt worried for Qin Shulan.

The more mysterious the feeling, the harder it is for the actors to perform what the director wants.

There is no way to quantify this kind of feeling, it can only be understood, not expressed in words.

Qin Shulan walked aside, found a corner, and thought alone.

Huang Tianlin didn't rush either.

The scene took another break.

Lu Yanhe sat on the sofa and wanted to drink water, but Huang Tianlin stopped him.

"You won't even let me drink the water?"

"It's better if your mouth feels a little anxious." Huang Tianlin said.

Lu Yanhe: "...Then I can drink from the head office through a straw, right?"

Huang Tianlin: "Okay, then don't drink too much."

"..." Lu Yanhe wanted to complain, "There are so many things to do."

Lu Yanhe also silently pondered the "angry look" Huang Tianlin wanted.

There must be a little bit of grievance in the anger, but not too much. If there is too much, the character will be wrong.

—He beat me indiscriminately, why didn’t you ask whether it was me who bullied him, or whether he was the one who fooled around first? He is your son and I am not your son? !

Lu Yanhe gave himself such a psychological driving line to mobilize his emotions.

-

Today is Lu Yanhe's first day of filming, so Yuan Hai has been staying on the set, just to be afraid of any accidents, so that he can solve them as soon as possible.

Yuan Hai noticed that Lu Yanhe basically stayed alone on the set. Although Zou Dong and Wang Biao were also there, they did not stay near Lu Yanhe, which surprised him.

Basically, as long as there are no cameras filming, there will always be assistants around.

Although Wang Biao is Lu Yanhe's executive agent, he was actually Lu Yanhe's assistant, and he still shoulders this responsibility.

But most of the time, Wang Biao was either chatting with the people next to him or lowering his head to process some messages on his tablet.

Yuan Hai thought for a while and asked Wang Biao if he needed an assistant for Lu Yanhe during this period.

He thought that Wang Biao was no longer willing to do such a small job as an assistant after becoming an executive agent.

Wang Biao was stunned by Yuan Hai's enthusiastic proposal.

What the hell, arranging for someone to take his job in front of him?

"No, thank you Mr. Yuan." Wang Biao said, "We have enough manpower now. Brother Lu is not the kind of celebrity who has seven or eight people waiting for him when he goes out - er, I mean the assistant team, no Talking about bodyguards. This is not in the city and is relatively remote, so we still brought some bodyguards, just in case.”

Yuan Hai nodded to express his understanding.

"Actually, I should have thought of hiring bodyguards here in advance."

Wang Biao smiled and said it was okay.

He thought to himself, even if you hired him, we wouldn’t dare use him. Who knows who you hired.

When it comes to matters involving wealth and life, Wang Biao and Chen Ziyan have the same idea: they would rather spend more money and buy security to avoid any accidents.

Yuan Hai asked: "I think Yan He is always alone. Doesn't he need an assistant to follow him?"

"I'm following." Wang Biao said immediately, and then he realized why Yuan Hai would ask this. He explained with a smile, "On the set, unless Brother Lu comes to see us, we will not stay with him, otherwise he will blame We disturbed his character."

Yuan Hai came back to his senses and realized that he had misunderstood.

"So that's it."

"Mr. Yuan, after the filming of "Tropical Rainy Season" is completed, do you have any plans?" Wang Biao asked.

Yuan Hai said: "The plan is to screen it at several international film festivals first. I hope it can be shortlisted for the main competition unit of one of the four major international film festivals. If it can be shortlisted, it will be more beneficial to the subsequent promotion of the film."

Wang Biao nodded and asked, "Has the distribution company for this movie been decided?"

"Several companies have already contacted us, and they are all still negotiating," Yuan Hai said.

"Are there any film companies in China that want to contact us?" Wang Biao asked.

"Yes, of course there is. In fact, China is the most interested in this movie. Several companies have asked about it and have all offered very high prices." Yuan Hai said, "But I am also interested in Chinese film companies. I don’t know much about it, and I’d like to ask your opinion.”

Wang Biao was a little surprised: "Are there any film companies offering high prices now?"

Yuan Hai: "Maybe it's not a high price for Yan He's past works, but for our movies, it's a very high price."

Wang Biao thought to himself that "Tropical Rainy Season" is a literary and artistic film. Based on the box office of Lu Yanhe starring in literary and artistic films in the past, everyone will calculate the price. At most, the average domestic film company will pay between 2 million and 3 million US dollars.

This number is indeed a high number for "Tropical Rainy Season".

Wang Biao said: "Mr. Yuan, we did not participate in the production of the movie "Tropical Rainy Season" in any other capacity. I will report to Sister Ziyan later about the distribution of this movie in China. Maybe she can give you more accurate advice.”

Yuan Hai nodded.

Wang Biao asked with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, I saw that in addition to being a producer for director Huang Tianlin, you also made several other films. Some media said that you are the leading young new director in Malaysia. You are Will you pay special attention to young directors?”

Yuan Hai nodded, "Our Malaysian film market is not big, and the film industry is not complete. In fact, it is difficult for filmmakers to get ahead. I want to push our Malaysian filmmakers to a bigger stage and let more people around the world know them." , and often feel powerless. In Vietnam for so many years, there has only been one director Song Muqing, and there is no other director. Of course, they are at least better than us. They also have Song Muqing.”

Wang Biao nodded.

He actually felt quite deeply about what Yuan Hai said.

He and Lu Yanhe have participated in so many international film festivals. In addition to those film crews with big directors, big stars, and big studios behind them, there are actually many small crews without stars and not noticed by the media.

What impressed Wang Biao the most was when he and Lu Yanhe went to see a Polish movie at the Sittur Film Festival. That movie was not shortlisted for the main competition unit, but was in another unit. The screening time was not very good, the director was not famous, and the actors were all Polish actors, and they were not even famous. Of course, because of the film festival, there are still a lot of audiences in the cinema - which is why many people say that the atmosphere of the film festival will make people who really love movies happy.

What did the film crew do? It very thoughtfully placed a brochure similar to an advertising flyer on everyone's seat, which introduced the theme, content and director's shooting ideas of the film in English and pictures, and also introduced The film’s creators have a profile.

Later, Wang Biao saw an interview with the film's producer in a report, talking about why he prepared such a small manual. The producer said: "Because our film's budget is very limited, even if everyone hopes to We came to Situl to meet everyone, but we couldn’t afford the air tickets and accommodation for so many people. We also didn’t have enough budget to hire the media to promote our film. We could only do it with the little money we had. I took these manuals and brought them to Situer, so that the audience who sees this film can know more about our film.”

Wang Biao sounded particularly sad.

Small country, small crew, tight budget, still want to be seen.

Film has never been just an art.

The last words the producer said in the interview were: "I hope everyone can see that we in Poland are still making movies. We have our own Polish filmmakers and our own film culture."

In fact, filmmakers from any country may have such thoughts in their hearts.

It all starts with oneself, and then inevitably leads to looking back at the past in one's life, looking back at times and history.

Wherever people come, their souls return.

Wang Biao smiled at Yuan Hai and said: "I believe Mr. Yuan that you will be able to take your Malaysian films to the world. In fact, you have come a long way, haven't you? Several of the films you have produced before have actually been shortlisted. an internationally influential film festival.”

Yuan Hai shook his head and smiled.

"This does not mean you have gone global if you are shortlisted for an international film festival. In this industry of filmmaking, winning awards is important, but what is more important is whether you have weight among your peers and in the hearts of the audience." Yuan Hai said: "So, Yan He Being able to film "Tropical Rainy Season" this time, I really feel like it's pie in the sky."

Wang Biao glanced at Huang Tianlin thoughtfully and said, "But it seems that Director Huang doesn't really want to cooperate with Brother Xiao Lu. The last time he came here, he said something bad to Brother Xiao Lu. To put it mildly, I wasn’t very enthusiastic this time.”

Yuan Hai said: "I apologize for Tianlin, he is actually -"

Yuan Hai hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no point in saying this. If you stay in contact with him for a longer time, you'll know what kind of person he is. Give him some time."

Wang Biao actually wanted to ask Yuan Hai why he would collaborate with Huang Tianlin, a person with a bad temper and arrogance, for the second time when he has collaborated with many young creators?

Wang Biao saw it. Not only was Huang Tianlin not very enthusiastic towards Lu Yanhe, he was also not very polite towards the producer Yuan Hai.

To put it simply, in Wang Biao's eyes, director Huang Tianlin's character is flawed.

Even though Lu Yanhe told him so much, Wang Biao still felt that Lu Yanhe was not worth it.

With Brother Lu's current reputation and status, he wants to collaborate with young and talented directors. There are a lot of them out there, and there are so many coming out at film festivals every year. Why would Huang Tianlin be specifically chosen to collaborate?

-

In the evening, Wang Biao went out to make coffee for Lu Yanhe.

There is still a scene to be filmed tonight, and I don’t know when it will end.

There was no coffee machine on site, so Wang Biao brought instant coffee liquid and mixed Lu Yanhe with some ice orange juice in a thermos cup.

Lu Yanhe didn't like drinking pure American style because it was too bitter, so he had to add something else.

"What are you talking about?" Huang Feng suddenly ran over without knowing why, raised his head, and looked at him with confusion and curiosity.

Wang Biao actually quite liked this child.

Although he talks a lot and is very active, he is also very intelligent and lovable.

"Coffee." Wang Biao said.

"It's already evening and you still drink coffee?" Huang Feng asked with a shocked look on his face.

"Have you had coffee?"

"No, my mother doesn't allow me to drink."

"Then how do you know you can't drink coffee at night?"

"My mother said that you can't sleep after drinking this." Huang Feng said, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep at night?"

"It's not for me to drink, but for your brother Lu Yanhe to drink. He will be filming with you tonight, so he needs to drink this to feel energetic."

Huang Feng immediately let out a sigh.

He choked.

"He's so annoying, why do you want to be his assistant?" Huang Feng asked.

Wang Biao smiled and asked, "Why do you think he is annoying?"

"I asked him if he could treat me to some popsicles. If he didn't want to treat me to it, forget it. He insisted on letting me eat it if my parents agreed. Doesn't that mean he didn't want to treat me to it?" Huang Feng pouted, " And he gets angry and is as scary as a monster."

Wang Biao: "Actually, he is very nice."

"You lied."

"Really." Wang Biao said, "Look, you made so many mistakes this afternoon. Did he blame you?"

"He even got mad at my uncle."

"That's because you refused to rehearse carefully." Wang Biao said, "You deliberately refused to cooperate. Of course he was angry. But as long as you acted seriously later, even if something went wrong, did he get angry?"

"...Then he can't keep being angry with me, right? I'm still a child."

"You are already twelve years old, in junior high school, and you are still a child." Wang Biao complained ruthlessly.

Huang Feng: "...I haven't gone to junior high school yet. It will take more than two months before I go to junior high school. I'm still a primary school student now!"

"It's already June and you haven't graduated from elementary school yet?"

"..." Huang Feng pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't find the words. Finally, he smacked his lips angrily, "I won't tell you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Wang Biao smiled.

Then, he saw Huang Feng crashing into the oncoming Huang Tianlin like a cannonball.

Huang Tianlin was hit hard and he lost his balance and stumbled back.

Huang Feng shouted.

Huang Tianlin himself staggered, but his first reaction was to raise his hand to pull Huang Feng, who also lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Huang Feng threw him directly.

"Hiss—" Huang Tianlin took a breath.

Wang Biao quickly screwed on the thermos cup, put it on the car, and went over.

"Director Huang, are you okay?"

Wang Biao noticed that Huang Tianlin rested his elbow on the ground and kept his palm still in a strange posture.

Huang Tianlin frowned, with some pain on his face, "Huang Feng, are you going to murder me?"

Huang Feng got up and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Apologize honestly, no shame at all.

Wang Biao helped Huang Tianlin up.

Huang Tianlin grabbed his left arm with his right hand and glanced at his left wrist.

"Did you twist when you were holding on the ground just now?" Wang Biao asked.

Huang Tianlin: "I don't know. I hope it's okay. I'll go find some medicine and spray it."

He glared at Huang Feng: "If you keep running around, I won't beat you!"

Huang Feng pursed his lips.

Wang Biao touched Huang Feng's head, "There are people coming and going in this crew. If you are running around, you will definitely bump into people. Look, now you have bumped into a real monster."

Huang Feng: "...My uncle is not a monster."

"He just got angry with you. He is not a monster. Your brother Lu Yanhe becomes a monster just because he gets angry with you? Why do you have such double standards at such a young age?" Wang Biao asked with a smile.

Huang Feng: "Uncle, he just has a bad temper."

"…You know this again?"

"Of course I know." Huang Feng said decisively, "Whenever someone bullied me when I was a child, it was my uncle who helped me!"

"Bullying you? You don't seem to have the character to be bullied. It would be nice if you don't bully others."

"Then they all have fathers, and I don't have a father." Huang Feng lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Wang Biao was stunned.

"ah?"

"When I was a child, my mother had to work to make money, and my uncle took care of me at home. Some of my classmates would laugh at me for not having a father, saying that I was an orphan. My uncle would scold them and tell them that if they say these things again in the future, he Let them become orphans," Huang Feng said, "Although many people said at that time that he had no job and relied on my mother to support him, and he had no future. "

Wang Biao scratched his head.

"Then he is now a film director, he is very promising."

Huang Feng: "Of course, my uncle is very good. He has been good at writing articles since he was a child."

"How do you know he's been good at writing articles since he was a kid? How old are you?"

"Because there are many articles he wrote on the walls of my house, all posted by my mother." Huang Feng looked proud.

Wang Biao: "I didn't expect that you are still an uncle."

"What does uncle control... mean?" Huang Feng didn't understand.

"It's nothing, you don't need to understand." Wang Biao pursed his lips and smiled.

-

The scene to be filmed tonight is about the brother who was slapped by his mother in the movie. He came back late at night, went to his room, and went to bed. His brother suddenly got out of his bed and wanted to sleep with him in his bed.

The brother pushed him away.

The younger brother was sitting by the bed, holding his tongue.

After a while, his brother looked at his pitiful appearance and asked him to come up.

A very simple play.

If it had been placed on another crew, Lu Yanhe felt that it would have been enough in just two or three takes.

However, after seeing how meticulous Huang Tianlin was about details during the day, Lu Yanhe had no idea how long it would take to finish filming this scene.

Fortunately, Lu Yanhe is not the kind of actor who says, "I will be very anxious if today's scene cannot be filmed."

He is an actor who really makes himself very clear on the scene - these things are the director's responsibility. He is just an actor, and he is only responsible for his own role and performance. As a director, if you don't want to pass it yourself and want to grind it over and over again, then it's fine.

Lu Yanhe is willing to act several times more. He has never been the kind of person who has so much self-confidence that he thinks it is a waste of time to perform more than once. Instead, he likes to adjust himself again and again, and even finds a scene that allows him to show a sense of quality.

And as expected, the scene tonight did not go so smoothly.

It's just that it's not the actors who are having trouble, but the lighting.

Huang Tianlin was very dissatisfied with the light and shadow effects. He thought it was too bright. After the lighting engineer dimmed the light, he thought the picture was not good-looking.

The lighting team was tormented by him for almost an hour, and they were sweating for many rounds.

Lu Yanhe just kept lying on the bed.

After waiting for another hour, Huang Tianlin, the photographer and lighting engineer finally found a shooting effect that Huang Tianlin was satisfied with.

Huang Tianlin decided to put this scene in a long shot.

The camera is tilted towards the door, so that when the brother played by Lu Yanhe enters the door, the door will open and light will leak in from the outside. At the same time, a light will shine outside their bedroom window to simulate the effect of moonlight.

The room can present an effect of being quiet at night but with clear vision.

But in this case, a problem will arise.

In this scene, the actors' performance could not be well presented.

You know, Lu Yanhe didn't have many scenes in this movie. This scene was treated like this. In fact, it was a very good scene that showed Lu Yanhe's acting ability, using his change of attitude towards his younger brother. , to show a kind of emotional change and relationship change, now it has to become a lens and picture presentation, rather than a performance presentation.

Even Huang Tianlin felt a little sorry after doing this.

He bravely came to explain to Lu Yanhe why he shot like this.

"I wanted this scene to form a very sharp contrast with the close and tense quarrel scenes during the day. No matter how fierce the quarrel was during the day, at night, everything has settled down and quieted down, and the relationship between relatives "Relationship, no need to say much, just a few small movements, one move and one move, just like this," Huang Tianlin said, "Can you understand what I am talking about?"

Lu Yanhe smiled and nodded: "Understood, just make it how you want. If you feel sorry for me, just make another version that focuses on the actors' performances. You can then make your own choice and see which one you want to use in the end." "

Huang Tianlin was surprised by his generosity.

Huang Tianlin dared to raise various questions to Lu Yanhe confidently during the day, such as the angle of raising his head and the content of his eyes, because he believed that the things he raised would make Lu Yanhe's performance better, more precise, and more charming and rich in character, so he dared to Be confident.

But now he doesn't have the confidence - because this is sacrificing the actor's performance space to achieve a film rhythm and lens beauty.

As a result, Lu Yanhe agreed without hesitation.

Seeing Huang Tianlin's shock, Lu Yanhe said: "We Chinese all have a kind of freehand beauty. I know what kind of effect you want to shoot this scene. I will understand it after you say it."

The so-called still water runs deep.

Huang Tianlin's eyes changed slightly.
