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

Zhang Song was the first person to arrive on set. 💎✌ 69SнǗｘ.Č𝓞爪🐍🐠

Li Haoyu met him not long after.

At the same time, he noticed that Zhang Song was acting differently. So Li Haoyu called Zhang Song to his side and asked, "How is it? After a whole night, do you know how to improve?"

Zhang Song nodded. "I read the script again, and now I have some new insights."

Li Haoyu asked with some curiosity.

Tell me what you've learned.

Zhang Song remained calm.

He did not answer Li Haoyu's question directly.

Zhang Song, instead, began to speak to himself.

"Asheng and Xiaolan always come back very late every winter vacation, saying that it is difficult to buy tickets. They only come back on New Year's Eve and tell me that it is easy to buy train tickets on that day."

They thought I didn't know, but I understand they were all very understanding and wanted to help the children; they were just trying to ease my burden.

"The two of them secretly work during winter and summer vacations without telling me. Actually, I haven't told them either. Over the years, I've saved more than 50,000 yuan, which is enough for me."

.........

"It would be so good if they came back early to rest. If they come back early, I can cook them more delicious food to help them recover. My brother and I can also offer incense to our parents and have a chat with them."

"I made an appointment with Pork Rong today to reserve four pig trotters, ten catties of pork belly, and five catties of pork shoulder for me."

"Aunt Cui, who sells pancakes, gave me a free-range chicken from her hometown today. Judging from its claws, it must have been raised in an orchard."

It turns out these are all short biographies of characters written by Zhang Song.

………………

Li Haoyu nodded.

That is indeed the best answer.

Li Haoyu called the makeup artist over and asked her to make Zhang Song look a bit rustic. The makeup artist didn't dare to be negligent and immediately got to work.

Before long, Zhang Song's face showed signs of weariness, and even his clothes were covered in dust. These were just minor alterations.

This also makes his character more relatable. This allows the audience to focus on the actor's performance, and it also helps Zhang Song get into character more easily.

Although Zhang Song's acting skills have reached a level where he doesn't really need external assistance, they have still improved nonetheless.

Just as the makeup artist was about to leave.

Li Haoyu called him over.

He said, "Don't go yet, and while you're at it, give me a haircut, just a simple buzz cut will do."

The makeup artist was clearly taken aback.

What's gotten into the director? Could it be because things didn't go well yesterday? Is he shaving his head to show his resolve? He must be crazy!

He's quite handsome, so why would he be so foolish?

The makeup artist couldn't help but complain inwardly, but she had no choice but to follow Li Haoyu's instructions. 🐤🍟 ➅➈ⓢнυ𝓧.℃ⓞ๓ 💘💜 After all, the director's authority on set was not to be challenged by anyone.

Everyone had no choice but to obey, as can be seen from Zhang Song's example.

Even the male lead in a movie got slammed with insults. She, a mere makeup artist, should probably avoid getting into that mess.

After getting his hair cut, Li Haoyu looked noticeably more refreshed.

Especially Li Haoyu's eyes, which shone brightly.

She looks more capable and energetic.

At this moment, Lin Miaomiao also came over. "Your new hairstyle is so cool! Or you could just shave it all off and style it like a braised egg. It's almost glowing!"

She couldn't hold back any longer and was the first to laugh.

Li Haoyu casually scratched his head.

He said bluntly, "Go ahead and laugh, your fate is in my hands. Be careful, I might rewrite the script and make you bald too. Don't think I'm incapable of doing that."

Perhaps everyone in the crew is afraid of Li Haoyu.

But Lin Miaomiao was the only exception.

Instead, she chuckled and said, "Oh, then I'll see how it goes. I hope you won't disappoint me, and it would be best if you kept your word."

"Otherwise, I'll look down on you!"

Li Haoyu could only helplessly shrug.

Lin Miaomiao has been quite temperamental lately.

It really needs to be dealt with.

Li Haoyu said nonchalantly, "I'll make you pay when you get home. I have important things to do now, so you just wait."

He strode towards the film set, ready to see how Zhang Song actually performed today.

Actually, Li Haoyu figured it out after all.

He was noticeably more relaxed today.

He even joked with the staff, "Alright everyone, stop looking at my new hairstyle. I feel like I'm attracting too much attention. I'm not the main character today."

He waved to the production crew in the distance, signaling that they were ready to start filming.

Li Haoyu nodded, and the production assistant said directly, "All departments, get ready. We're starting to film scene twelve now. The scene where Gao Qiqiang and Xiaolong and Xiaohu have a falling out."

"Smack!"

As the clapperboard fell, the camera began filming.

This is also a major turning point in the plot.

It's important to know that Gao Qiqiang's family has always been in dire straits. His parents passed away early, and he, as the older brother, raised his younger siblings and supported them through university.

It can be said that in the hearts of his younger siblings, he is not only an older brother, but also took on the responsibilities of a father at a young age.

Gao Qiqiang also loves his younger siblings as his own children and values ​​and cherishes this kinship with them.

But when he opened his fish stall hoping to earn a decent living through hard work, he was exploited by the market bullies, the brothers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu.

This has made it so that fish stalls are about to go out of business. If the fish stalls can't stay open, then a large sum of money invested in opening them will be wasted.

This is an even greater burden for Gao Qiqiang, who was already struggling to support his younger siblings' university education.

If his younger siblings cannot afford the tuition fees, they will face the risk of dropping out of school, and their future lives will be like his, struggling at the bottom of society.

This was an outcome he neither wanted to see nor hoped for. Therefore, in order to keep his fish stall business, he had no choice but to buy the plasma TV that Tang Xiaohu wanted, which cost tens of thousands of yuan.

But since he didn't have enough money to buy one, he bought a slightly cheaper TV, which still cost over 8,000 yuan, and delivered it to them. As a result, they looked down on it and ignored his red envelope.

Not only did he refuse to let Gao Qiqiang continue operating the fish stall, but when Gao Qiqiang asked to take back the television that had been given to him, he smashed it.

This isn't even going too far.

It's practically like they're defecating and urinating on Gao Qiqiang.

This led to Gao Qiqiang's outburst, a moment he could no longer tolerate.

This scene is actually very important.

This is also the first step in Gao Qiqiang's descent into darkness.

From that moment on, he gradually followed his heart; ultimately, fate pushed him to the top and destroyed him.

Li Haoyu stared intently at Zhang Song through the camera lens.

At this point, Gao Qiqiang, played by Zhang Song, was no longer the submissive man he once was. He finally shed his cautious and amiable facade, revealing his rebellious and audacious nature.

At that moment, Gao Qiqiang's eyes seemed to be blazing with fire.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but clench his fists.

At that moment, he seemed to resonate with Zhang Song in the video, and he could completely feel the burning anger that wanted to consume everything.

When Tang Xiaohu pushed away the color TV that Gao Qiqiang was struggling to balance, not only did the TV shatter, but Gao Qiqiang's timid and submissive first half of life was also shattered.

When Zhang Song, panting heavily, broke down the door, Li Haoyu even saw a madness emanating from his very bones in his eyes. His emotions were so heightened that no acting was needed anymore.

It was a completely natural performance, as if Gao Qiqiang had stepped out of the script: when Zhang Song finished performing this scene, Li Haoyu couldn't help but stand up from the director's chair.

"Zhang Song, you were fantastic! Your performance this time was absolutely superb; it's exactly what I wanted. You really nailed it."

Not only was Li Haoyu excited, but all the staff present also applauded and showed their admiration.

In fact, these people have all met many big-name celebrities.

I've even seen many talented actors. But Zhang Song's performance in that scene was, in every aspect, incredibly captivating.

Even compared to any award-winning actor, he wouldn't be inferior in the slightest. Especially considering Zhang Song was previously an unknown actor, this time he has truly made everyone remember him.

That's why it looks so special.

Everyone was generous with their applause.

This made Li Haoyu sigh, saying that good actors' performances are truly heartfelt, without any trace of acting, making the audience remember only the character and forget the actor.

Just like when Li Haoyu watched "The Dead End" before, he didn't know that the murderer was an actor. At the time, he really thought that the director had used a real interrogation video for the sake of realism.

At that time, Li Haoyu thought the director was a very serious person, and he also thought that the antisocial personality in the TV series was a real thing.

Much later, Li Haoyu realized that it was actually an actor's performance.

He knelt down immediately.

Looking back now, Zhang Song was also such an actor.

Zhang Song slowly came to his senses amidst the applause. At that moment, he saw nothing but Li Haoyu and the staff cheering for him.

Zhang Song was so excited and thrilled. He had finally gained Li Haoyu's approval; all his hard work over the past few months had truly paid off. He was genuinely moved to tears!

…………

Li Haoyu's biggest change to the plot is that it's more realistic. There's less embellishment and concealment, because reality is often far more oppressive and cruel.

Especially in his exposés of the darker aspects of life, Li Haoyu transcends the usual violence and bloodshed. He describes even darker acts of murder and covert power exchanges.

This is one of a kind.

Li Haoyu made many changes to the plot, including the ending that had been criticized by many viewers.

Especially Meng Dehai's fate; Meng Dehai was already in cahoots with Gao Qiqiang. His son-in-law Yang Jian and his uncle, Old Huang, were both on good terms with Gao Qiqiang.

Is he the only one who remains untainted by the mud?

is it possible?

Li Haoyu changed it to An Xin and Gao Qiqiang openly fighting.

Zhao Lidong and Meng De were secretly fighting each other.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been the later events where Zhao Lidong abandoned Gao Qiqiang and chose to support Jiang Tian. This significantly improves the story's plausibility.

Li Haoyu always believed that what is righteous is righteous, and what is evil is evil.

There's nothing to hide.

Audiences aren't three-year-olds; they are adults with mature judgment and analytical abilities. Movies shouldn't presume to teach audiences what's right and wrong.

You must learn to leave room for the audience to reflect.

Instead of directly telling them the answer, that's what makes a truly good story. Li Haoyu believed that the ending he had meticulously designed would indeed appear on the big screen.

It will definitely amaze the audience.

…………

The subsequent filming went quite smoothly.

With the two leads, Zhang and Zhang, giving a phenomenal performance, the entire crew was like a high-speed gear that had been oiled and was running at full speed.

Zhang Song was like a powder keg that had been completely ignited, and Li Haoyu was determined to capture Zhang Song's perfect performance.

Several scenes were filmed together, which resulted in today's shooting workload far exceeding Li Haoyu's expectations. This has exhausted the entire crew.

Thanks to his improved physical abilities, Li Haoyu was able to keep up.

However, the rest of the crew didn't have that kind of stamina.

Having exhausted all other options, Li Haoyu took the initiative to stop filming, saying, "Okay, everyone, let's take a break!"

He waved his hand, telling the crew to take a break.

He said to Zhang Song, "I know you're in great shape right now, like you've been injected with adrenaline. But you also need to take care of the others; they're not as obsessed as you."

Zhang Song then realized what was happening, scratched his head, and said to Li Haoyu apologetically.

"It's my fault. I haven't made a movie in too long. Plus, my performance yesterday was so bad, so I wanted to try my best to prove myself today."

Li Haoyu nodded in understanding, "However, making a movie is not something that can be done overnight. It requires other emotions, not just passion."

Zhang Song nodded again, "Director, don't worry, I promise I'll work hard until the very last moment."

Li Haoyu said, "You misunderstood me. You should also take a look at the staff behind the scenes."

They're not having it any easier than you; you're managing an unknown number of people for every scene you film.

Li Haoyu then patted Zhang Song on the shoulder and said, "I'm not worried about you right now, I'm afraid my crew will be the first to collapse."

Zhang Song heard this.

He nodded in sudden realization.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't even think of that. It was really my oversight, and I'll think about it more in the future. The main thing is that I'm so afraid of losing this opportunity."

Zhang Song accepted the bottled water handed to him by Li Haoyu.

He was drenched in sweat from his passionate performance, but he didn't rush to open it; instead, he kept bowing his head to express his apology.

Li Haoyu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you don't need to exaggerate like that."

"I'm so happy to have met an actor like you. If everyone were like you, I don't know how much budget I could save."

However, I'm confident that this film will become a benchmark for its genre. All subsequent films of the same type will have to live in its shadow!

It will dominate the entire Spring Festival film season.

It has become a classic masterpiece that everyone talks about!

No anti-gang film can surpass its level!
