Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu picked up the simple drumsticks. 😾♛ ❻➈ˢ𝕙𝕌Ⓧ.ᶜ𝐨Μ ★😾

He started banging on the bucket, and a smooth drumbeat rang out.

That's really something!

The actors and staff watching couldn't help but be amazed. Although they didn't know much about music, they were surprised that such a simple set of buckets could produce such a smooth melody.

That's truly admirable.

Because their bodies had started swaying involuntarily.

This was a skill Li Haoyu learned in the film and television industry. Actually, Li Haoyu's purpose in learning to play the drums wasn't entirely pure; he simply wanted to flirt with girls.

Because Li Haoyu had money at that time, he loved going to live concerts. After attending many concerts, he discovered something very interesting.

Which musician in a very popular band is most popular with women?

Is it the lead singer belting out a song on stage? Or the guitarist soloing under the spotlight? Or the keyboardist standing as steady as a telephone pole? Or the bassist chatting with the staff in the shadows?

After a little research, Li Haoyu was surprised to find that none of them were the most popular people in the band. The most popular person was actually the drummer who sat in the back and whose face was not visible.

Eight out of ten girls like playing drums, and the other one likes playing bass. In the eyes of many girls, playing bass is a cool thing, but neither is as cool as playing drums.

Although they might not necessarily want to be drummers, they think it's cool to sit on the drum bench and play a few simple rhythms. Isn't that great!

This is truly absurd.

Later, Li Haoyu curiously inquired about the reason.

Because in the eyes of those girls: guitar chords are not very difficult, but they are still difficult to master. Keyboards, as multi-line control devices, are as unfathomable as mathematics in their eyes.

As for the bass's unique sound, they said they simply couldn't accept it... Only the drums are the easiest to learn; anyone with healthy hands and feet and a fully developed brain can just start playing beat-beat.

Taking photos like this and posting them on WeChat Moments will make you look cooler.

However, Li Haoyu later actually fell in love with playing the drums.

Whenever he encountered something bothering him, he would always go to his room alone and choose a cheerful song. When Li Haoyu finished playing a song, his forehead covered in sweat...

All his worries had long since vanished.

Li Haoyu started singing as he tapped the keys.

"I've always wanted to tell you this."

"You gave me unexpected joy, like an oasis in the desert."

"Say you'll always be with me."

"Let's watch time pass together and remember the way we love each other. It's about loving you and loving you, through joy and sorrow, with you in our lives, even the mundane has meaning."

"It's just loving you, feeling sweet and at ease, that feeling is you."

"Oh..."

When Li Haoyu sang, his body swayed to the rhythm. 💔🐉 ➅❾ˢⓗⓤＸ.Ćσ𝐦 💔🍓

Finally, we've reached the chorus of the song.

"I just love you."

"I'll stay with you, I'll stay with you."

"I just love you..."

Li Haoyu said "I love you" seven times in a row, and he also took the opportunity to confess his love to Lin Miaomiao on the spot.

Li Haoyu is showing off his love here.

The onlookers were also quietly enjoying the song. It must be called "Just Love You," a truly simple and easy-to-understand love song.

This is truly a pure love song; there's nothing else but sweetness. And let's not forget the melody paired with the drumbeats—it has an inexplicable charm.

Drums are the king of rhythm, and although the song is a simple a cappella with a not-too-complex beat, it actually highlights Li Haoyu's vocals even more, making every lyric catchy.

The melody is also very catchy.

Director Li is indeed a great talent...

The audience members present all liked the song. Some of the male voices sounded okay, but they just thought it was pleasant to listen to.

Some of the girls looked at Li Haoyu with stars in their eyes, and they couldn't help but fantasize about what it would be like if their boyfriends sang this song for them.

They'd probably surrender immediately and shower their boyfriends with passionate kisses. These girls were really invested in the relationship; some even had tears in their eyes.

Because "Just Love You" has a catchy melody and isn't too complicated, many people in the crowd started softly singing along when Li Haoyu hummed it for the second time.

Su Qiang watched Li Haoyu's performance from a corner on the side.

He has already started trying to memorize the lyrics.

He knew that his talent was far inferior to Li Haoyu's, whether in television production or talent performance, Li Haoyu was someone he could not reach.

Su Qiang had long since given up on comparing himself to Li Haoyu, after all, the two were simply not on the same level. But it didn't matter! The stronger Li Haoyu was, the happier Su Qiang was.

After all, who would complain about having thick thighs?

Su Qiang planned to memorize the song and use it to confess his feelings to his girlfriend when he got back, since she wouldn't know anyway. He figured he could take advantage of her moment when she was moved to give her a little something extra.

Su Qiang had always wanted his girlfriend to cosplay an anime character.

This time, the trump card was used.

He felt confident that he would get what he wanted.

As for Lin Miaomiao, the protagonist who was confessed to, let's not even mention her.

Lin Miaomiao standing next to Li Haoyu.

He was sitting on a bucket at that moment.

Lin Miaomiao watched as Li Haoyu confessed his feelings to her while playing the guitar and singing. She rested her head on her hands. Lin Miaomiao's eyes melted as she looked at Li Haoyu.

This love song was truly devastating.

Some photographers, driven by their professional instincts, were already subtly focusing their lenses on Li Haoyu. This was a rare opportunity for footage!

Who knows, it might get cut into the behind-the-scenes footage of a TV series someday.

…………

"Why are people still singing so late at night? These film crews are really good at stirring things up."

Because Li Haoyu is holding a banquet today, he hired an outsourcing company to handle the event. The person complaining now is one of the event coordinators at that outsourcing company.

Actually, he came to such a remote place to hold an event late at night.

He wasn't actually very happy.

However, as everyone joined in the singing, the volume grew louder and louder.

He couldn't resist moving closer out of curiosity.

He listened to the drumbeats and couldn't help but sway to the rhythm. This music was quite unfamiliar; he'd never heard it before. Was it one of the stars from the film crew performing?

But I have to say, it does sound really good.

…………

The song ended.

Li Haoyu casually tossed the drumsticks aside. "Alright, I've kept my promise. As for any farewell remarks, I won't say anything; sentimentality isn't my style."

"Anyway, once 'The Beginning' goes well after it's released, you can just wait for the bank transfer notifications! Now, to be cliché, everyone, eat and drink well!"

"Director Li is awesome!"

"Director Li is awesome!"

Everyone had worked hard all day and their stomachs were completely empty. As the chef prepared the food, the aroma of the dishes wafted over on the breeze.

Before long, a dozen or so simple tables were set up.

Each table was laden with sumptuous dishes. After the meal began, the atmosphere became more relaxed. Even the sadness of parting seemed to be somewhat diluted by the aroma of the food.

Perhaps it's because director Li Haoyu personally led the performance, and the cast and crew of "The Beginning" are mostly young people.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes,

The atmosphere was just right, and many people followed Li Haoyu's example, going directly to the open space in the middle to perform. They began their singing and dancing.

The atmosphere of the entire banquet reached its climax.

Today is a joyous day, and Li Haoyu no longer restrains the actors and staff; everyone is mingling together.

The lead actors took turns toasting Li Haoyu to express their gratitude. Even Liu Dan, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, made an exception and toasted Li Haoyu with a glass of wine.

Li Haoyu didn't hesitate and drank it all in one gulp.

During the conversation, Li Haoyu also asked about the other people's plans. Liu Dan said that she would still work on the stage, and as for acting in TV dramas, it would depend on whether there was a script as good as "The Beginning".

Li Haoyu couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this.

I never expected these veteran actors to be so eloquent. It's clear that no one who survives in the entertainment industry is a fool. Actors are all incredibly shrewd.

As for the young actors in "The Beginning", they all left a deep impression on Li Haoyu.

For example, Bai Yufan, who played a rational and humorous game architect, left a deep impression on him.

Li Haoyu also had many scenes with him. He remembers that it was a scene where they were arguing and yelling at each other. He perfectly portrayed the frustration of misunderstandings between friends.

Also, there's Li Gan, who plays Jiang Feng, Officer Zhang's apprentice.

Actually, he didn't have many scenes; he was just a minor character. But just two or three scenes were enough for Li Haoyu to remember this young actor.

When Officer Zhang had his accident, he sat blankly in front of the operating room, clenching his fists and silently shedding tears. His grief was palpable. He even went so far as to question the whistleblower about why.

Such moving acting skills are rare even among young actors. Li Haoyu also exchanged personal contact information with these young actors.

He plans to give them more opportunities when suitable roles come along. No wonder after the director met Zhang Yi, he appeared in almost every film he made.

This is actually the current state of the entertainment industry.

Once a director works with an actor and feels that the actor is particularly suitable for the role, that actor will be the first person they think of when making their next film.

Some directors, after working with actors, gain a general understanding of the actors' acting skills and know what types of roles they are suited for, and more importantly, they perform exceptionally well.

Directors prefer to work with actors who have excellent acting skills because it saves a lot of effort, and these actors are also very experienced, which may shorten the filming schedule.

From a director's perspective, it would be very relaxing.

The director also likes to choose actors who are very experienced.

After all, if you're in charge of a production where an actress needs eye drops to film a crying scene, almost everyone would be tempted to curse her out in their mind.

Furthermore, the closer the character's personality is to the actor's own, the easier it is for the performance to stand out. This is because the closer the personality is to the actor's own, the easier it is to perform naturally and to demonstrate exceptional acting skills.

Good directors want to work with good actors, and good actors want to work with excellent directors. It's a completely mutually beneficial relationship.

Well, Li Haoyu actually had his own little scheme in mind.

In fact, he always felt that casting was a difficult and troublesome thing. If there was a way to be lazy without affecting the quality of the TV series, why wouldn't Li Haoyu do it?

In the final stage, everyone present went completely wild. Li Haoyu was even lifted up high by a group of people, kissed, hugged, and hoisted into the air.

And so, the group from "The Beginning" spent a wild night. Even Li Haoyu, who had received a boost from the system, was drunk by the actors.

That tells you how outrageous the drinking was.

…………

the next morning.

Li Haoyu had to get out of bed and rush to Jiangzhou TV station.

Although filming for the TV series "The Beginning" has finished, his work is far from over. He needs to discuss with Wu Yuqing how to do post-production editing for "The Beginning".

Some say that the quality of a TV series depends on its director. However, there's another saying in the film and television industry: truly good directors are also the best editors.

This statement alone demonstrates just how crucial editing is. Especially since "The Beginning" differs from typical TV dramas. Its fast pace demands even more from the editors.

It requires not only laying the groundwork for the nature of the case and the relationships between the characters, but also ensuring that the audience is truly surprised when the plot twists occur later.

Furthermore, the opening sequence explodes a total of 25 times. Dividing these key looping points into segments would actually be a real test of the editor's skill.

Therefore, Li Haoyu plans to start with the experiences of the main characters this time.

From an observer's perspective, the author speculates and analyzes the reasons behind the cycle. Using a third-person viewpoint, the author derives incomplete conclusions from pieced-together information, thus evoking the audience's emotions.

You can also consider comparing events, time periods, and emotions...

Cutting a long film into shorter, more refined parts and compressing its length is a true test of the producer's skills and abilities. Post-production editing of television dramas is a challenge for many.

Fortunately, Li Haoyu had already seen the finished product.

He was very confident about his editing approach.

The remaining key point is controlling the length of TV series. The length of a TV series is very important; an appropriate length can make the viewing pace very comfortable for the audience.

He believed that with the cooperation of Jia Yuqing...

This will definitely elevate the quality of "The Beginning" to a new level.

As for the rest, it's all about the promotion and distribution of "The Beginning". Television dramas are essentially commodities; we've long since moved beyond the stage where a good product will sell itself.

Good publicity and promotion are very important.

Whoever masters this technology early will be at the forefront of the entertainment industry. Without a strong publicity and distribution team, there's no future in the film and television industry.

For example, if you want to see a movie during the Spring Festival, everyone around you will be discussing the same movie. Whether they say the movie is good or bad, you will be influenced by this "trend".

There's even a feeling that I no longer have anything in common with my friends.

That's the power of propaganda!

Li Haoyu was too lazy to even think.

He still had plenty of budget left, so he didn't need any fancy marketing tactics. Li Haoyu had plenty of money in his pocket, and he planned to use the simplest and most direct method.

Just throw money at it!
