Feverish actress cried after being angered by haters, but discovered the real culprit was at her bed

"Mom, it looks like it's just ahead, we're almost there."

On the main street, Liu Yifei was arm in arm with her mother, Liu Xiaoli. The two walked together, and if no one told them, they would probably not know that they were mother and daughter, but would be mistaken for sisters.

During the ten-plus days of school break, Liu Yifei was incredibly bored at home and wanted to see Lu Yan, so she tricked her mother into coming to Chongqing for a trip.

After arriving in Chongqing, Liu Yifei took her mother sightseeing for two days, and then "casually" mentioned that she had a classmate who was filming a movie with director Wang Quan'an there.

Liu Xiaoli initially disagreed with the idea of ​​visiting and learning from the film set, but upon hearing that a renowned director like Wang Quan'an and a film queen like Yu Nan were on set, she decided to let her daughter learn and perhaps make some connections, and agreed to visit the set.

That's why Lu Yan received that text message.

Using the address Lu Yan sent on her phone, Liu Yifei wandered around Sandao West Street several times before finally finding the entrance.

It's a mountain city, so this is normal.

Today we filmed the scenes where we questioned the museum. Lu Yan rented a useless exhibition hall and decorated it like a small museum, which is very similar to the original film.

At the entrance to the film set, Luo Jin, having received instructions from Lu Yan, waited at the door early.

"Auntie, Sisi!"

As the two entered, Liu Xiaoli was quite surprised to see Luo Jin. It turned out that the classmate her daughter had mentioned was Luo Jin. Why was he so hesitant when she asked him earlier?

There's nothing wrong with saying that.

"Xiao Luo, it's been a long time since I've seen you come to my house for dinner. Are you settling in well on set?"

While chatting, Liu Xiaoli toured the film set under Luo Jin's guidance. Liu Xiaoli handed over the snacks and fruits she had brought to Luo Jin, asking him to distribute them to everyone. Luo Jin then went to do so.

Turning around, Liu Xiaoli noticed that her daughter's absent-minded eyes were looking at something, as if she were searching for something.

Suddenly, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, and her gaze locked onto a small circle.

Among that group of people were Wang Quan'an, Yu Nan, Chen Chuang, Wang Xun...

Everyone lowered their heads, listening to what Lu Yan was saying. What else could they say? As a producer, Lu Yan was naturally sticking to his budget.

"This venue can only be rented for 4 hours today. There will be a fine of 2000 yuan for each hour over the limit. We will try to get everything done in one take! If there is anything you don't understand, you can tell me and I will demonstrate first. But once we start filming, we will try not to repeat ourselves. That is my requirement."

"Know!"

  

Everyone nodded, already used to Lu Yan's stingy nature. They all knew the production crew didn't have much money and would save wherever possible.

Chen Chuang, Wang Xun, Huang Bo, Luo Jin, and others had no objections; they still cherished this hard-won performance opportunity.

With budgets being raised and the budget being so tightly controlled every day, Lu Yan was actually a little embarrassed. In fact, he shouldn't have been the producer in the first place; it could have been the director and producer, or the actor and producer.

However, it's basically not like that when a producer acts as an executive producer, because producers and executive producers are essentially two opposing departments.

The producer is the head of the production team and the financial director. His responsibility is to control the budget, and to control the budget, he has to give orders.

At this point, the producer plays a crucial role. They act as the director's supporter and artistic advisor, and are usually a well-known director or a big-name actor.

The producer isn't necessarily on set every day. If the director encounters a creative block, the producer will come and offer some "guidance".

If the producer and director argue about whether or not to reshoot a scene, the executive producer is the final arbiter.

If a film is bad, the producer bears some responsibility; if a film is good, the producer helps the director avoid interference from the production company, allowing the director to focus on creating art.

This is why Lu Yan insisted on being the producer himself; he understands the script and doesn't trust Wang Quan'an.

The producer has the right to make the final decision, and it is precisely because he is aware of this that Wang Quan'an mostly adopts Lu Yan's opinions.

After all, isn't it good that someone has to take responsibility?

Seeing Lu Yan and the others talking, Liu Yifei wanted to call out to Lu Yan but then held back and quietly watched Lu Yan work.

His eyes gradually lost their ability to think. Everyone says that men look most handsome when they are working seriously, but I have never seen Lu Yan so serious before.

"Sisi, isn't that... Lu Yan?"

After watching for a few minutes, Liu Xiaoli was surprised to find that her sharp gaze was fixed on her daughter. Liu nodded guiltily, "Ah! I forgot to tell you, Mom, Lu Yan is also on set."

Before Liu Xiaoli could ask any more questions, Liu Yifei rushed over to find Lu Yan. Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter's back and was speechless for a moment, her eyes filled with worry.

This girl clearly came to see Lu Yan; no wonder she was stammering earlier.

Liu Xiaoli suddenly had a feeling that her daughter might really be kidnapped.

Just then, Lu Yan and the others finished their conversation and greeted Liu Yifei with smiles: "Liu Yifei, long time no see!"

Lu Yan's gaze passed over the excited Liu Yifei and fell on Liu Xiaoli walking behind her, and he froze.

Oh no, Liu's mom is here too. Calm down, calm down. Liu Xiaoli must not know what happened before. So I'm just an ordinary classmate, not Huang Mao.

Lu Yan took the initiative to step forward and greet Liu Xiaoli. Liu Xiaoli remained polite, but subtly hinted at Liu Yifei's feelings.

The conversation didn't last long before the crew had to start work again. Lu Yan apologized and told Liu Yifei to go back first, as staying on set was quite boring.

Liu Yifei refused and insisted on staying to study, so Lu Yan ignored her and continued working.

Liu Yifei and her daughter sat quietly watching the filming. Liu Xiaoli learned from the staff next to her that Lu Yan was actually the film's producer and supervisor, and even wrote the script.

They were greatly shocked. No wonder they didn't see Lu Yan perform, but everyone in the audience listened to him.

Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized that she didn't know enough about Lu Yan. He had won the Golden Rooster Award, the Golden Kirin Award, and was nominated for two leading male roles. Now he was even able to work with a director like Wang Quan'an on a movie.

Among young people, this should be considered the best they can do.

On the other hand, having just achieved success, it's too hasty for young people to cross over into production; they're too impetuous.

Liu Xiaoli, being an adult, saw things more clearly. From their power dynamics on set, she could tell that Wang Quan'an was just the director, while Lu Yan was the one truly responsible for the film.

So why did Wang Quan'an only take on the role of director, and why was he willing to delegate the production duties to a young man?

If he truly believed in the project, he wouldn't have just become a director. He probably didn't want to take responsibility, so he directed this film out of personal connections.

Liu Xiaoli did not watch the film, especially after learning that Lu Yan was the screenwriter, which made her even more convinced of her guess.

For the next shoot, Lu Yan would demonstrate first before filming, minimizing the margin for error.

The performance was mostly fine. Liu Yifei watched Lu Yan demonstrate for everyone, her eyes sparkling with envy and admiration.

In comparison, Lu Yan's acting skills are far superior to hers.

Liu felt somewhat frustrated. It wasn't until evening, when filming ended, that Lu Yan invited the entire crew to visit the set, along with Liu Yifei and her daughter.

This level of hospitality was quite impressive. After the meal, Liu Yifei reluctantly left with her mother.

The two had no opportunity to communicate privately and could only communicate via phone.

Perhaps it was Lu Yan's performance that spurred Liu Yifei on. A few days later, Liu Yifei suddenly said on the phone that she wanted to be like Audrey Hepburn and make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

After being mocked by Lu Yan, Lu Yan logged into Tianya that evening and opened his account, which hadn't been updated in a long time.

I've updated two short videos to give Xiao Liu a good talking-to.

......

The filming of Crazy Stone took 18 days. After the crew finished filming, they returned to Beijing.

On his first day back in Beijing, Lu Yan contacted the editing team he had already arranged to edit the film demo.

After staying at the school for another 20 days, he finally received the edited hard drive sample and immediately found Wang Quan'an and Yu Nan to review the film together.

After watching only a third of it, Lu Yan's heart sank. Furious, he called the post-production manager: "I gave you 20 days, and this is what you edited?!"

Lu Yan's roar could be clearly heard in the office. He rarely lost his temper like this, but this time he really couldn't stand it.
