Huayu: Becoming a director has been incredibly successful for me.

"So, do you think I'm more handsome, or Qin Hao?" Tian Shun asked back.

"Qin Hao? Who's that?"

"The male actors who auditioned today." Tian Shun also gave Qin Hao the script for the male lead role, telling him to take a good look at it and prepare for the second audition.

Wait until you pass the second audition.

Qin Hao was allowed to enter the music academy to practice the cello.

In the story of "Departures", the male protagonist was a violinist in an orchestra before becoming a mortician.

This arrangement is to allow Qin Hao to perform even better.

"Tian Shun, you're definitely more handsome, way more handsome," Liu Yifei praised, then continued, "What about me and Fan Bingbing?"

"It must be because you're so beautiful, Sisi. You're far more beautiful. To describe you in one sentence, this woman should only exist in heaven. How often can one find such beauty on earth?"

"Tian Shun, that's too much, you've gone too far~" Liu Yifei was embarrassed by the compliment, "I'm just an ordinary girl."

"You call this ordinary?" Tian Shun deliberately retorted loudly, "Then everyone in the world except you, Qianqian, is ugly, and you're the only ordinary girl."

Liu Yifei felt incredibly flattered by the praise.

When asked about the movie later, she replied, "Jeon-shun, when is my audition?"

"Now."

"Now? Here?"

"Yes, here you are. You haven't seen the complete script, so perform a scene for me right here."

"Then I'll get ready." Liu Yifei took a deep breath, preparing herself emotionally to get into character. Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Should I change my clothes?"

"No need, this dress is pretty, it looks great," Tian Shun complimented.

"It's alright~" Liu Yifei thought to herself with a smug smile.

Wait a few minutes to prepare.

They performed it live.

I've read the script for "Departures".

Although the female secretary doesn't have many scenes.

But remember that too.

A short performance was staged on the spot.

"Clap clap!" Tian Shun clapped after Qianqian finished her performance.

"How was it?" Liu Yifei immediately continued, "You can't praise me like before. You have to tell the truth. I want to hear the truth."

"Hmm..." Tian Shun thought for a while and said, "Qianqian, actually you were not well prepared, which caused you to not be very into the role during the performance and your eyes lacked expression. But to have the performance just now, you are definitely excellent among actresses born in the 85s."

As Liu Yifei listened, she nodded from time to time. After Tian Shun finished speaking, she continued, "Eye acting is actually quite difficult. During the previous filming, the directors didn't pay much attention to it, which made it impossible for me to settle down and learn."

Filming a TV series.

Unlike movies.

There are far more shots of it than in a movie.

Each episode is forty minutes long, and there are about forty episodes in total.

The movie is basically only two hours long.

However, the filming periods for both are roughly the same.

This means that the filming schedule for TV series must be faster than that for movies.

In filmmaking, a single shot can be filmed repeatedly to achieve the desired effect.

In order to meet the deadline, TV dramas sometimes make mistakes in their lines, but that's okay. They can dub the lines later. As long as the scene is roughly the same, it will be accepted.

Therefore, it's difficult to hone one's acting skills by acting in TV dramas.

Only by acting in movies, under the high demands of famous directors and repeated takes, can one truly hone their acting skills.

"Sissi, it's different with me, I have very high standards." The goal of "Departures" is to be among the top three in the world, so Tian Shun has to have high standards.

"High standards? Really?"

"What, scared?"

"I love it so much!" Liu Yifei was so happy she almost danced with joy.

"..." Tian Shun didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Tian Shun, let's talk about the movie story some more, so I can better understand the character." Liu Yifei needs to understand the character well in order to empathize with him and perform better.

……

"Xiao Chen, Qian Qian, are you still chatting?" About half an hour later, Liu Xiaoli came over.

"Mom, why are you walking so quietly again?" Liu Yifei heard the sound and her mother came over, just like when she was changing clothes in her room.

"You two were chatting so intently," Liu Xiaoli said as she came down.

It's getting late.

Even later.

It wouldn't be safe for Tian Shun to go back.

I live here.

Even worse.

At home, it was just her and Xixi, a widow and her child.

It would be very inappropriate for a grown man like Tian Shun to spend the night here.

"Aunt Liu, it's getting late, so I'll head back now." Tian Shun understood what she meant.

"It's not particularly late." Liu Yifei glanced at the time; it was past ten o'clock at night. How late was that?

"It's not just today. We can have Xiaotian come over again tomorrow. Early to bed and early to rise is good for your skin." Liu Xiaoli had been secretly watching from the second floor.

It's clear that Xixi has developed feelings for Tian Shun.

If things continue to develop like this...

It's estimated that the two of them will get together soon.

"Then tomorrow, Mom, please cook another sumptuous dinner," Liu Yifei said happily.

"I'm practically a chef now," Liu Xiaoli joked, then looked at Tian Shun and asked him to come over again tomorrow.

"Aunt Liu, I'm not free tomorrow, I have a dinner appointment." Tomorrow, Tian Shun is going to have dinner with his second uncle and Han Sanping from China Film Group to discuss the movie "Departures".

"Oh, right, Xiaotian has something important to do tomorrow, so he can come again when he's free."

"Mom, I'll see Tian Shun off." Liu Yifei got up to see him off.

……

The next day

Li's Private Kitchen

Tian Shun and Tian Zhuangzhuang had just arrived at the hotel's private room not long ago.

The actress in the cheongsam led Han Sanping in.

Han Sanping was wearing a Zhongshan suit and had a crew cut; upon closer inspection, a few gray hairs could be seen.

"Old Han." Tian Zhuangzhuang stepped forward and shook hands.

Back then, both of them worked at the Beijing Film Studio and were very good friends in private.

"Old Tian, ​​congratulations on becoming the head of the directing department." Han Sanping shook hands with him, then looked at Tian Shun, "Xiao Shun, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

A few months ago.

Tian Shun fell seriously ill.

Brother Tian Zhuangzhuang was extremely anxious.

Invite all the professors from Peking Union Medical College Hospital to come over.

After all, Tian Shun was her son, whom she had when she was over forty years old, and she cherished him dearly.

Fortunately, they escaped danger in the end.

"Uncle Han, not only are you fully recovered, but you're even healthier than before." In Tian Shun's memory, he had met Han Sanping many times, and Han Sanping had even held him when he was a child.

"That's good. And Xiaoshun, you need to understand that health is the most important thing. There's a saying that health is the foundation of everything." Han Sanping said as he sat down. "And today, it's on me."

"Old Han, it's my treat today, but you can treat me next time. Don't try to take it from me." Tian Zhuangzhuang asked the waiter to serve the dishes first, having already ordered them before coming.

He then handed the tea menu to Han Sanping.

The waitress in the private room, dressed in a cheongsam, opened a bottle of Moutai and poured three glasses of wine.

Behind Han Sanping, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Tian Shun, there stood a young female attendant, providing one-on-one service.

"You all go out first. I'll call you if I need anything." Han Sanping and the other waiters all left. "Old Tian, ​​there's something I'd like to ask you."

"Old Han, given our relationship, just ask me if you need anything." Tian Zhuangzhuang could tell from Han Sanping's expression that it was something important, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the waiter to leave.

"You wrote the script for 'Departures,' didn't you?"

Han Sanping had read the script.

The story is so good.

It's clearly a script designed to win awards.

How old is Tian Shuncai?

At nineteen, one certainly couldn't write a script like this.

Thinking about it.

The Tian family really went to great lengths to promote Tian Shun.
