A Joyful Boy: From Meeting the Drunk Song Qian

It turns out that Guo Fan, a new director, is so meticulous.

I really was judging others by my own petty standards.

Uncle Da apologized.

However, neither Guo Fan nor Su Chen responded.

After all, people are worried because they are afraid of being scammed, and they are also worried about Chinese science fiction films.

The two of them understood this very well and were also very happy about it. In this day and age, it's rare to see veteran actors saying so much to new actors.

Most of them only make their own films.

They wouldn't care whether the movie lived or died.

Even if it's a bad movie, they'll take it for the money.

There aren't many directors like Uncle Da who are willing to go the extra mile.

I took a quick look at the cast.

Apart from Uncle Da.

Almost no celebrities participated.

This made Uncle Da nod with satisfaction. What he feared most was that his so-called significance would be used to hire celebrities, with half of the investment going towards that.

Then there's no chance of ever getting ahead.

Now it seems that Uncle Da should be more worried about whether this movie will do well at the box office.

A person's dreams always need to be supported by money.

If The Wandering Earth doesn't become a big hit, it could very well hinder the production of other science fiction films.

At this moment, Uncle Da even thought about asking his friends to help promote the film after it was released.

But this is all for later.

He needs to see how well the footage is shot; if the footage is too poor, then there's no point in him doing it.

The first shot is very simple.

They took Su Chen to the space station room that the film crew had prepared.

Perform according to the script.

This part is almost a one-man show; there is no one else to help him. He has to stay in the room and simulate the dialogue based on the lines and the scene.

This really tests a person's skills, especially without verbal and eye contact.

People tend to focus their attention on things they wouldn't have noticed before.

For example, the camera lens.

This really tests a person's professional competence.

At first, Guo Fan had some doubts about Su Chen's major.

That's why I wanted him to put on a spacesuit and perform for me.

To determine his acting skills.

If all else fails...

He would simplify the important parts of that scene.

Then, the character of Liu Peiqiang will be appropriately shortened.

But Su Chen's performance now far exceeded his expectations.

Let alone reducing the number of characters.

He even wanted to bring the character to life.

Do it when you think of it.

Guo Fan immediately took out paper and pen and began to write and draw on Liu Peiqiang's character's line sheet.

Uncle Da saw Su Chen's performance.

I was also very surprised.

Even though they're all props, even if it's his first time, he might still make mistakes because he's not used to them.

But Su Chen's performance was very realistic.

Judging solely from the director's shots, Su Chen appears to be in a real space capsule.

It felt as if someone was actually talking to him inside the machine in front of him.

Everything is so natural.

What a terrible person.

Uncle Da used to see those popular celebrities in the entertainment industry making movies and TV shows.

They clearly don't know anything.

You can earn millions, or even tens of millions.

It's a real headache.

It's not because they earn too much, but because they perform too little.

1087: I think you just want to save money.

If a good actor gets paid that kind of salary.

Uncle Da wouldn't think anything of it.

I used to be like that too.

But someone with absolutely no acting skills managed to take away almost half of the money invested by the investors.

This applies to anyone who genuinely loves movies.

No one would consider this a good situation.

If the future capital market is full of people like this.

After that, Chinese films...

Don't even mention going global.

Even crossing the national border is difficult.

When they go out, it's all just fans having fun on their own.

This development is absolutely abnormal.

It will not help the future of Chinese films.

It's amazing to see such acting skills among the younger generation.

He was finally relieved.

I'd like to say something to Director Guo Fan.

Looking back, I realized...

Guo Fan sat next to the director, writing and drawing on Liu Peiqiang's script.

I looked over curiously.

It was discovered that the director was actually adding scenes for the characters on set.

Uncle Da's face also showed a hint of interest.

He initially thought the director was just a newcomer, and one of his purposes in sitting next to him was to offer him some advice.

To avoid mistakes.

Unexpectedly, this director also surprised him.

Although he is a newcomer.

But he was very composed.

The added scenes for the character are not abrupt at all, and even play a strong role in advancing the plot later on.

Uncle Da just stood there watching him for a while.

“I think Liu Peiqiang should be shocked here. After all, this is how people really feel. If it were as you wrote, getting angry might seem a bit strange.”

Guo Fan listened to Uncle Da's advice.

First came surprise.

Then I thought about it carefully.

I think Uncle Da is right.

They changed everything he had just written.

This became Uncle Da's suggestion.
