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

This scene.

The staff members nearby also saw it.

They couldn't help but whisper among themselves. Wasn't Zhang Song one of Li Haoyu's men? Why was Li Haoyu showing him such disrespect now?

Actually, Li Haoyu didn't deliberately get angry.

It's not because he's under a lot of pressure right now.

Actually, most directors are like this; they don't seem very happy on set. There's nothing you can do about it; everyone knows that anger is bad for your health and mental well-being.

But Li Haoyu sometimes really couldn't control himself, because he was carrying the biggest burden of change, and this might be his last film. Li Haoyu really couldn't accept the consequences of failure.

Therefore, we must be absolutely certain!

Because the movie camera can't stop, no matter if you're laughing, crying, yelling, kicking, or hitting, you have to find a way to keep the camera moving and keep the set running.

Li Haoyu didn't care what others thought, even if they called him a tyrant on set. Besides, Zhang Song's performance hadn't satisfied Li Haoyu.

But it's not that Zhang Song's acting is bad.

Rather, it felt like he hadn't fully let go.

Li Haoyu called Zhang Song to his side and said...

"I know you have the ability to act very well, but this is all too predictable. The worst thing about acting is predictability, because that's too boring."

"I want you to add something of your own."

Zhang Song clearly had a good performance at the beginning, but while he maintained his level of skill later on, he lacked the high energy he displayed earlier. After all, this is a movie, not a TV series, and the narrative pace can't be that slow.

Clearly, Zhang Song was still in its comfort zone and hadn't stepped out of it at all. Sure enough, upon hearing Li Haoyu's words, Zhang Song lowered its head in shame.

For an actor to be verbally abused for a performance error is a tremendous disgrace, especially for someone with such high aspirations.

Zhang Song immediately said, "I'm sorry, director. I know where my problem lies. I promise you I will never disappoint you again."

Li Haoyu frowned and nodded. He glanced at the time; it was already past 11 o'clock. The staff had also been working hard all day. Although he strived for perfection, he also had to consider the constraints of reality.

Li Haoyu said, "Go back and think about it carefully tonight. If things continue like this, I can't guarantee you'll stay in your current position. After all, this is just the beginning."

In fact, Li Haoyu's words had a double meaning. On the surface, it meant that the film had just begun shooting and Zhang Song still had room to experiment.

There's actually another hidden meaning: if Zhang Song still doesn't meet Li Haoyu's standards, then replacing him isn't out of the question.

After all, the cost wasn't as high as imagined. Li Haoyu didn't stay any longer; he turned and left, giving Zhang Song time to think things through.

Then Li Haoyu asked Su Qiang to inform the production crew that filming for today was over and everyone could leave and rest. They would reshoot this scene at 7:00 AM tomorrow.

Zhang Song remained alone in the same spot.

He was also frustrated with himself for being so bad, even though he had prepared so much beforehand. In the end, he was constrained by the things he had prepared in advance.

Zhang Song calmed down.

He started thinking about how to perform tomorrow.

.........

Lin Miaomiao, who was standing to the side, saw that Li Haoyu had gotten angry.

She came over to comfort him, saying, "Actually, I think Teacher Zhang Song performed very well. Why are you being so picky? This isn't like you."

Li Haoyu said angrily, "Good is enough. He's the male lead I handpicked. If he can't perform at 120%, it'll be a complete failure."

"This is my movie. If he can't do it, he can get out of here."

Li Haoyu feels his temper flaring up again.

For a moment, even Lin Miaomiao didn't know what to do. She had never seen Li Haoyu like this before. In the past, no matter what happened...

Li Haoyu always appeared calm and composed.

This is the first time he has ever lost his composure like this.

Lin Miaomiao felt increasingly wronged. She had clearly meant well for Li Haoyu, yet he treated her so harshly. Did he really not know how to cherish what he had?

Could it be that Mom is right?

No man is any good.

She felt terrible, and tears welled up in her eyes before streaming down her face. But at that moment, Lin Miaomiao didn't want Li Haoyu to see her like this.

She tilted her head back, trying her best to prevent Li Haoyu from discovering everything.

But Li Haoyu could not possibly be kept in the dark about all of this.

Li Haoyu also realized his problem at this point.

Recently, due to the completion of the main quest, he may leave this world at any time. Therefore, he has to be hard-hearted and treat all staff members with extreme harshness.

He was willing to do anything, because only in this way could the quality of the film be guaranteed, and only then could Li Haoyu earn enough wealth for Lin Miaomiao to last a lifetime.

However, Li Haoyu overlooked the most important factor.

That is, everything he did was actually to make Lin Miaomiao happy. If Lin Miaomiao wasn't happy, then all the things he did, no matter how hard he tried, would have been meaningless.

Li Haoyu suddenly understood.

I seem to have put the cart before the horse.

Without saying a word, he kissed her directly, wiping away her tears. Lin Miaomiao was instantly shocked, "What are you doing? This is too outrageous!"

"With so much saliva, you don't find it dirty, but I do."

Li Haoyu laughed and said, "I did make a mistake, and besides, haven't we done even worse things before? As long as you're happy, what does it matter?"

"Anyway, you're my wife, so there's nothing shameful about it."

After saying that, Li Haoyu started touching Lin Miaomiao inappropriately again. But Lin Miaomiao was now much more experienced and wouldn't let Li Haoyu succeed so easily.

"Have you suddenly figured it out now? But it's not that easy. Do you think you can just make someone angry and then say a few nice words and it's all over?"

Lin Miaomiao's eyes were red.

She angrily tried to shake off Li Haoyu's hand.

But in the end, Lin Miaomiao's resistance was still very strong.

"I really know I was wrong, but it was all for you. I wanted to earn more money for baby formula for the kids, otherwise we might starve in the future."

There were no outsiders here, and even if there were, Li Haoyu wouldn't care too much. He pulled Lin Miaomiao into his arms and stared intently into her deep eyes as he spoke.

"Okay, I've apologized, so you have no choice but to forgive me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Miaomiao could hardly resist Li Haoyu's burning gaze.

However, she still put up considerable resistance.

Lin Miaomiao still used her elbow to push against Li Haoyu, refusing to admit defeat. Li Haoyu slightly increased the pressure, pulling the defiant Lin Miaomiao even tighter.

He didn't know if it was Lin Miaomiao with tears in her eyes.

Li Haoyu was actually a little excited.

Lin Miaomiao also admitted defeat, saying, "Alright, I forgive you, okay? Let me go now, or I'll really get angry later."

Lin Miaomiao suddenly realized that she was still on set. Although everyone had finished work, there were still many people around. If the two of them continued to entangle themselves like this, they might be seen by others.

That would really kill the society.

She didn't want to be talked about behind her back.

Lin Miaomiao couldn't throw a tantrum anymore. "I'll fulfill your request when we get home. Now, let go of my hand."

Lin Miaomiao's focus has also changed.

She let go of her resentment towards Li Haoyu.

Now, instead, she is filled with girlish shyness.

Li Haoyu said, "Then I really believe you. And I guarantee this movie will be a success. I'll give you the award trophy when it wins."

Li Haoyu said with a smile, and the words to make the girl happy just came out of his mouth.

"I believe you can do it. You are the best producer and my best husband. If even you can't do it, I don't know who can."

"If you can really do it, I'll give you a mystery gift then." Lin Miaomiao's face was as red as a ripe apple.

Especially the last sentence.

She was so shy that she didn't dare to lift her head.

"Hahaha... I'll start looking forward to it then."

Li Haoyu stroked Lin Miaomiao's hair, and began to imagine the mysterious gift. If Lin Miaomiao could break through her limits, it would definitely be a wonderful surprise.

Especially since Lin Miaomiao is so shy.

He was even more excited.

Seeing that Li Haoyu remained silent, Lin Miaomiao said with some curiosity, "What kind of wicked idea are you thinking of now? The gift I mentioned earlier was very proper."

Lin Miaomiao said this.

A bolt of lightning flashed through Li Haoyu's mind.

Li Haoyu finally realized where the problem lay. What was that one little something missing? It was the lack of a sense of vicissitude and wistfulness as one looked back on the past.

This is the essence of cinema.

Otherwise it would become a mediocre work.

For example, the most outstanding feature of Jiang Wen's films is their tough-guy vibe; the strong masculine energy in his films practically overflows through the screen.

As for Zhang Yimou, he is also outstanding; his use of color is unparalleled. In some ways, he doesn't seem like a director, but rather like a painter.

The most distinctive feature of Ang Lee's films is their delicate emotional expression and moving details. Every great director has their own style. This is the path that Li Haoyu wants to pursue.

In fact, Li Haoyu had already vaguely realized this when he was rewriting the script.

However, he still couldn't figure it out.

Li Haoyu suddenly realized that the core of the story was actually a story of "rags-to-riches" from the bottom up.

What's truly captivating is the diverse range of human experiences depicted in the story, where each person's position is interconnected and everyone is subject to unavoidable fates. This is reflected in many of the characters.

For example, Cao Chuang, An Xin's mentor, was the most senior and longest-serving criminal investigator, and could have been promoted to deputy director in due course.

But times suddenly changed; seniority was no longer as important as academic qualifications, and he lost his advantage. The corrupt Zhao Lidong tried to win him over, promising to help him get promoted to deputy director.

He agreed because he was unwilling to give up.

The same applies to Gao Qisheng. He truly embarked on the path of drug trafficking and ultimately perished because he hoarded hundreds of thousands of PHS phones, only to have them swept into the trash overnight.

He could only try to fill the gap through other means. This all stemmed from the unpredictability of fate; everyone has a pair of hands that can turn the tide of destiny.

Just as Li Haoyu was pondering.

"Anyway, don't overthink it. I won't give in easily," Lin Miaomiao insisted on her own ideas.

She was like any girl in love.

Lin Miaomiao kept arguing with Li Haoyu.

"You should look at it from an artistic perspective. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Actors should naturally express their true selves. Aren't I helping you improve your acting skills?"

"Lin Miaomiao, you need to let go of your ambitions, and then you will discover a new world." Li Haoyu grabbed Lin Miaomiao's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and whispered.

Lin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Why don't you exaggerate even more? You really just spout nonsense."

In fact, Lin Miaomiao was already prepared to listen to him. After all, Li Haoyu was her man, so Lin Miaomiao could accept it.

Li Haoyu said, "It's no big deal. Just go back and try a simple one first. After that, you won't think it's a big deal."

Li Haoyu spoke with a serious expression and a rather domineering tone.

However, as Li Haoyu spoke, his tone suddenly turned playful. "Anyway, it's just a one-man show for two, so just listen to me."

"hey-hey!"

Lin Miaomiao was gradually swayed by Li Haoyu's advances.

She was at a loss for what to do because of Li Haoyu.

She felt a mixture of shyness and subtle anticipation. Lin Miaomiao thought to herself, "If it's you, it wouldn't hurt to try other things."

Li Haoyu quietly held Lin Miaomiao in his arms.

Lin Miaomiao was like a warm little kitten, lying in Li Haoyu's arms.

Neither of them spoke, as if afraid to break the romantic atmosphere. The moon, too, seemed to be moved by the two of them, shyly hiding behind the clouds.

Lin Miaomiao suddenly raised her delicate and beautiful face and fiercely questioned Li Haoyu, "If you dare to be mean to me again, watch out for my fists."

"Of course, of course! This was an accident!"

Li Haoyu quickly confessed his feelings.

Lin Miaomiao continued, "Will you still be this nice to me in the future? I actually have a pretty bad temper."

Li Haoyu said, "It's none of my business. I just like people who are unique."

Lin Miaomiao complained, "Hehe, did you eat honey? And don't touch my head like that!"

Li Haoyu said earnestly, "Alright, I understand. I'll do whatever you say. Is that alright? You really are a cold-hearted woman."

Lin Miaomiao retorted, "Hehehe, do you think I'm still as naive as before? I have absolutely no interest in you. Don't flatter yourself."

Li Haoyu rubbed his head. "You caught me. I've noticed you seem to have gotten a little smarter lately. Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go! I know I was wrong! Let go now!"

"You're really trying to murder your husband!"
