Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 40 Do You Think I Am Like the Past?
Cao Yang was ready to try early this morning.

On the way to the set, he boasted to Tian Zhuangzhuang that yesterday, because the filming had just started not long ago, Liu Ye and Yu Feihong had not yet gotten into the right state, and today they would definitely undergo a complete transformation.

Lao Tian asked, "How can you be so sure?"

Cao Yang smiled and replied, "I have been explaining the play to them almost every day these days. Even a piece of wood would have understood it, let alone a human being."

Old Tian sneered, thinking Cao Yang was joking.

If talking about drama every day could help actors to open up, there wouldn't be so many actors who are just filling in the gaps.

When we arrived at the set, we continued the filming that we hadn’t completed yesterday.

Cao Yang was not worried about the half-day delay yesterday. As long as Liu Ye and Yu Feihong performed at their best, the progress would only be faster.

When Cao Yang and Tian Zhuangzhuang arrived, Liu Ye had already been there for a while and took the initiative to greet them, "Director Cao, Director Tian, ​​you're here? Everyone is in good shape today, and the filming will definitely go smoothly. Please accept my best wishes."

Cao Yang was stunned for more than ten seconds. He really didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. He had too many complaints and doubts.

Today, Liu Ye is like a different person. He is not shy at all. He is more confident and sunny, as if he walked out of "Lan Yu" overnight.

Also, are you serious? What does "please accept your blessing" mean?
In Liu Ye's current state, can he still give the feeling of a leading actor? At least on the surface, everything Cao Yang wanted disappeared from Liu Ye.

As for Yu Feihong, we can’t tell anything yet. Is she getting into the state?
Cao Yang had a bad feeling.

Start shooting, start shooting!
As soon as the camera was turned on, Yu Feihong seemed like a different person. She pushed the plate hard and stared at Wu Qihua, her expression full of uncontrollable anger.

"Crack!"

Cao Yang frowned, his ominous premonition growing stronger and stronger. This wasn't right.

"Sister Hong, don't stare at Teacher Wu, you should look at the camera. Also, you are using the wrong emotions. You are already 'alive', and the hero you have been waiting for is back, right behind your husband. You should be uncontrollably happy and excited, not angry."

"Attention all departments, here's another one."

"Crack!"

Cao Yang couldn't help it, and his voice was a little louder than before, "Sister Hong, look at the camera, look at the camera! Don't be angry, be gentle and happy, be happy and excited, don't stare at Wu Qihua. Rest for ten minutes and adjust yourself."

During the break, Wu Qihua couldn't help but come to Yu Feihong and whispered, "Ms. Yu, did I offend you unintentionally during the filming? The look in your eyes just now was so scary, as if I had done something wrong to you."

Yu Feihong quickly waved her hands, "No, that's not the case. I don't know what happened today. As soon as I started filming, I felt... I felt that your domestic violence was wrong, and I got a little carried away. Sorry, it's my fault, my fault."

"It's okay, it's okay. You may have been a little into the role. I understand, I understand." Wu Qihua himself felt puzzled. If you are too into the role, you don't have to target me like this.

Old Tian came to Cao Yang and gave him a thumbs up. He really thought Cao Yang was quite amazing. He knew a little about Yu Feihong's acting skills, which could only be said to be on par with the original Li Xiaoran.

Although Yu Feihong kept making NGs today, in Lao Tian's opinion, it was not a big deal. Didn't he see that Yu Feihong's acting skills had improved significantly?
The eyes that used to be empty and lifeless are now full of emotions, and this is the most important thing.

"Don't be impatient. This is how filming works. Not everyone is as talented as Li Xiaoran. You have to learn to adapt. Yu Feihong's situation is normal. She is already making progress. She even has drama in her eyes."

Lao Tian knows how to comfort people.

Cao Yang didn't think so. He always felt that Lao Tian was making fun of him.

The experience of being immersed in the play for Yu Feihong was like a stone skipping on water, which made a little splash and then sank.

So what about Liu Ye?
Has Liu Ye's huge change backfired?
……

Yu Feihong pushed the plate away, her face full of hatred...

"Kakaka!"

Cao Yang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "Yu Feihong, go and adjust yourself. Let's shoot Liu Ye's scenes first."

He didn't even call her Sister Hong anymore, just called her by her name.

"Director Cao, Sister Feihong didn't perform well. Don't get angry. You should be patient with women." Liu Ye advised with a smile.

Cao Yang glanced at Liu Ye. This guy is not right. With his previous personality, how could he dare to interrupt at this time? Also, you are a new actor, dare to interrupt when the director is angry?
It's over, there's something wrong with both the hero and heroine.

In this villa, Liu Ye has two highlights. One is hitting the domestic violence man with a golf ball, and the other is a famous scene where the domestic violence man hugs the heroine, and the hero appears behind the domestic violence man and kisses the heroine.

Field recorder.

Liu Ye's face was gloomy for a moment, and he shot decisively and mercilessly. He swung and hit the ball with a "pop" sound, with standard posture and graceful gesture.

"Crack!"

"Very good, one more, second swing."

Cao Yang's eyes lit up. Liu Ye's performance was unexpectedly good.

Three swinging actions need to be shot here, and then three shots of Wu Qihua being knocked down and screaming, and then edited together, it means that every swing makes Wu Qihua scream and fall to the ground.

Liu Ye swung the club a second time, with the same expression and decisive shot.

"Crack!"

"Very good, passed, next is the third shot."

Liu Ye swung the club again. This time, his face was gloomy and his shot was decisive. After swinging the club, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and his expression was extremely natural with his contempt in his eyes.

"Crack! Passed, very good!"

Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief. This was what he wanted. At least Liu Ye didn't cause any trouble.

For the last shot of the villa scene, Cao Yang thought about it and decided to adjust the camera position slightly, shooting from the side and back of Yu Feihong, thus avoiding capturing her expression and focusing on Liu Ye.

Wu Qihua came over in his pajamas and asked, "What are you doing?"

Yu Feihong turned around with a look of disgust on her face, but because the camera was shooting from the side, her expression could not be captured.

Yu Feihong said her only words in the entire movie, "I love you."

Wu Qihua was stunned for a moment, turned around to look back, then turned back again, his expression changed from surprise to joy, and he hugged Yu Feihong, "Dear..."

Yu Feihong stretched out her left hand. Liu Ye came over from behind Wu Qihua, held Yu Feihong's hand, and looked at Yu Feihong with his eyes as if they could speak, his face full of pity and love.

He gently kissed Yu Feihong's forehead, stroked her head with his other hand, and looked at her with his head tilted, like an old father who finally saw his child grow up, his eyes full of doting.

"Crack!"

Cao Yang fell into deep thought. Liu Ye did not act according to the script. This was supposed to be the famous scene of facing the Minotaur, but Liu Ye turned it into a plot about my daughter's growth.

But there is no doubt that Liu Ye's acting skills at this moment are absolutely textbook level. There is no language, but his eyes are full of drama, and you can easily feel what he wants to convey.

Regardless of which version is better, there is no doubt that the one played by Jin Laoguai is more evil and perverted.

If we follow Liu Ye's free-flowing performance, it also fits the plot.

If it is interpreted that the male protagonist is the female protagonist's fantasy character, the female protagonist has changed and dares to resist the domestic violence man, and her fantasy character is very pleased to see her changes, this is completely consistent.

If it is interpreted that the male protagonist has actually died in prison, then what appears later are all hallucinations of the female protagonist. The female protagonist has become strong, and she imagines that the male protagonist will be very pleased to see her like this, which also makes sense.

If it is interpreted that the male protagonist is the patron saint of women, he should be very pleased to see the changes in the female protagonist.

"Very good, passed!"
