Chapter 482 Chapter 481: The trick of training actors to film

On the second night, the scene with Liu Yifei was filmed on the highway next to Santa Monica Beach.

It was late at night and there was very little traffic here. It was very quiet with a bus parked on the side of the road for filming.

What made Jiang Feng speechless was that 14-year-old Liu Yifei really couldn't act. When he asked her to make an expression of fear on her face, the expressions she made were all silly and cute.

Dawei, the assistant director of the crew, stood on the bus and explained the play to her several times, but to no avail. So he made up his mind and raised his hand, pretending to hit her.

But who would have thought that when Liu Yifei saw Dawei like this, she was not scared at all, but even giggled out loud.

"Brother Dawei, you don't look fierce at all!"

Eh…

Dawei sighed, and after getting off the bus, he found Jiang Feng who was setting up the shooting scene under the bus. He didn't say anything, but just spread his hands and made a helpless expression.

Looking up at Liu Yifei who was sitting by the window of the bus, Jiang Feng frowned.

"Well, Brother Feng, how about we change people? Zhang Ziyi and big brother Qinglong are here filming "Rush Hour 2" at noon today. Let's give her a call and she will definitely come over right away." The person who said this was photographer Liu Jie.

Ha ha…

Hearing his suggestion, Jiang Feng wanted to laugh.

What's wrong with you? You were the one who recommended Liu Yifei, and now you are the one who wants to take Liu Yifei down.

what's going on?

You pursued her mother and were rejected?!
Jiang Feng was just about to tease him, but when he turned around, he was stunned.

Just under a street lamp not far from the shooting site, there are a man and a woman standing. The woman is beautiful. Even though she is over 40, she still has charm and her every move is full of style. The man in a suit is tall and has an elegant temperament at first glance.

Jiang Feng looked at the two of them, and they happened to look at Jiang Feng, so the man put down his right hand that was around the woman's shoulder, and greeted Jiang Feng with a smile.

"Good director!"

"Oh, Hello!"

"Hello, Director. My last name is Chen. I'm in the real estate business in Beijing. I'm on a business trip to the United States this time, so I came to visit a friend.

Well, director, first of all, congratulations on winning the grand prize at the Grammy Awards on behalf of the Chinese people!"

"Mr. Chen, thank you for the compliment!"

Seeing the man coming over, Jiang Feng shook hands with him.

"director…"

"Ok?"

"I've heard of you before I came here. You're a top student at the Beijing Film Academy, and you're currently studying for a master's degree with Professor Cui Xinqin.

And Yifei is now preparing for the film academy exam next year, I wonder if you can give her some help. "

"for example?"

Seeing that the crew members were setting up the shooting scene and there was still some time, Jiang Feng took the initiative to step back a few steps and stood on the curb side by side with the man.

"For example, let Yifei learn acting from you, because I just saw that Yifei is still a beginner in acting. Your assistant director explained the play to her clearly, but she still can't produce the performance effect you want." Perhaps because he was afraid that Jiang Feng would refuse, the man added hurriedly before Jiang Feng could speak.
"Director, don't worry. As long as you agree to teach Yifei how to act, tuition fees won't be a problem. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

“Um, sorry, Mr. Chen.

This is not about money, because my schedule this year is already full. After finishing this movie, I will return to China to record my next music album. After the album is recorded, I will immediately join the crew to shoot the movie "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou."

"Oh, is that so? Well, I'll think of another way." The man was indeed a big businessman. He was not as fussy as ordinary parents. Seeing Jiang Feng refused, he did not force him. He shook hands with him, then took the initiative to retreat to the lamppost and stood shoulder to shoulder with Liu Xiaoli.

"Brother Fei, is that not possible?"

Liu Xiaoli asked in a low voice.

"No! I'll go to the capital and find a solution for you. It's just a little more money, right? It's okay.

But now I want to see how Jiang Feng will shoot the next scene? Because from what I can see so far, Xixi doesn't seem to have much acting talent."

At this point, the man reached out and held Liu Xiaoli in his arms, then stared intently at the filming scene. …

"Liu Yifei..."

"Here you are, director."

Hearing Jiang Feng's call, Liu Yifei quickly opened the bus window.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Okay, you say."

"What are you most afraid of in your life?"

"There's nothing that scares me, because I started sleeping alone when I was three years old. Many of my classmates said there were ghosts, but where are they?" Liu Yifei was at an innocent age, so she spoke these words crisply.

"So, how many horror movies have you seen?"

"Well, I've seen quite a few, like Saw, the movie you directed, and the horror movie The Ring. Oh, by the way, I also watched Hannibal these two days. Others say this movie is scary, but I think it's a bit disgusting."

"okay, I get it."

After a brief chat with Liu Yifei, Jiang Feng turned around and whispered a few words to Dawei. Dawei nodded, turned around and went to a commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road.

Standing outside the filming site, Liu Xiaoli and the man were a little confused when they saw this scene. What was going on? Were they not going to talk about the play?
Just as they were wondering, Dawei, who had just got on the business car, had already got off the car. The only difference was that he had changed into a long blue windbreaker instead of the jacket he had just worn.

After changing his clothes, Dawei walked back to the bus.

"Liu Yifei..."

"Ok?"

"Close the windows?"

"Okay." Although she didn't know what Dawei was going to do, the obedient Liu Yifei still did as he said.

"By the window?"

"Ok!"

"Pay attention to me."

"Uh huh huh!!!"

Liu Yifei, who was leaning against the car window, nodded frantically.

Just as she nodded, she suddenly saw Dawei unbutton his windbreaker, and his pants fell to his ankles.

"what…"

The incident happened suddenly and Liu Yifei was immediately frightened.

Hearing the girl's scream, Liu Xiaoli rushed over immediately, grabbed Dawei and was about to tear him apart, but at this time, Liu Xiaoli discovered that Dawei was wearing a sweatshirt and shorts underneath.

Oh..., I was scared to death.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli felt like she had survived a disaster!

At this time, Jiang Feng looked at the photographer Gu Changwei and the photography assistant Liu Jie. Seeing that they both made the OK gesture, he picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"OK, passed, next scene."

.........

Since she had no previous experience in acting, Liu Yifei was basically the most difficult actor to shoot in the "Seeing Ghost" crew. Many of the emotions during the filming were inspired by Jiang Feng using various means.

After Liu Yifei's scenes were finished, the scenes of other actors were much easier to shoot. For example, the first female lead, Jessica Alba, had a better understanding with both parties as they worked together for a longer time. Often, Jiang Feng only needed to make a gesture, and Jessica Alba would immediately understand what he wanted? !

Just like that, time passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was April 4st, April Fools' Day in the West. At 1 o'clock in the morning on this day, the crew of "Seeing the Ghost" came to a Chinese restaurant on the streets of Los Angeles. The last scene of the crew would be filmed here.
