Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 90 Quit Drinking
The heroine in "Secret Sunshine" is always in a state of despair and depression.

From November 11nd to February 22th, Gao Yuanyuan was in a state of mental tension during the two and a half months of intensive shooting. One can imagine the depression and pain she felt inside.

In her final howling, part of her emotions finally found a breakthrough and were vented and released.

Otherwise, in scenes like this where the actor is constantly suppressing his pain, if his emotions cannot be vented and he has no experience, he is likely to become depressed and have bad consequences.

"It's okay, it's okay, this is a movie, this is a plot, it's not real, it's okay..."

Cao Yang kept comforting her.

Gradually, Gao Yuanyuan's crying became weaker. It was no longer a desperate cry, but a mechanical cry.

Gu Changwei sighed and said softly to Ning Hao: "This little girl has never learned acting. She is too immersed in the role... This kind of tragic play is very hurtful."

Ning Hao rarely agreed with Lao Gu's words. He was silent for a moment and said, "But as an actor, she is luckier than most actors to be able to perform in a movie of this level and contribute such superb acting skills."

Gu Changwei also fell silent. Putting aside the interests, if it were any other actress, even if they knew that getting into the role would hurt others, there would be countless people who would be willing to do it.

It was not until Gao Yuanyuan could only sob that Cao Yang stopped comforting her. He moved his body slightly to remind Gao Yuanyuan, "You're still holding me."

The second is to see if Gao Yuanyuan will let go so that he can "break free".

However, Gao Yuanyuan ignored him, and Cao Yang only felt that her hands seemed to be holding him tighter.

Sister, it’s okay to hug you when you’re crying, but it would be a bit embarrassing if you keep hugging me like this.

Cao Yang was wondering whether he should struggle to break free, but unexpectedly Gao Yuanyuan gently pushed him away, sobbing while apologizing.

"I'm sorry, Director Cao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, thank you."

Then, he said to everyone present: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

Just assume you didn't mean it.

"Are you okay? Does your hand hurt?" Cao Yang asked.

Gao Yuanyuan then let out a cry, stretched out her hand pitifully, and waved it in front of Cao Yang, breathing heavily.

"It hurts a lot. Director Cao, please help me check if it's swollen."

Live it!

I thought you were Lin Daiyu who uprooted the weeping willow tree. Why didn't you say it hurt when you hit the back of the bench with your hand?

Cao Yang grabbed her hand and took a look. Fortunately, it was not hit with the flat of the fist, but with the spiral round groove on the side of the little finger, that is, the wheel of the fist. Apart from some redness, there was no serious problem.

"It's okay, it won't hurt after a while."

Cao Yang let go of her hand and shouted, "Take a break for 20 minutes and take another shot without tearing the photo."

Damn it, why did you cry so angrily when you tore up my photo? Don't think I didn't see your cruelty. I'm not your scumbag husband.

Cao Yang turned around and glared at Gao Yuanyuan, and happened to see Gao Yuanyuan mumbling something.

When Gao Yuanyuan saw Cao Yang turning around, she shrank her neck, as if she had done something wrong and was caught red-handed.

There are so many strange women, but after I got into the play, none of them were normal.

As soon as Cao Yang sat down in the director's chair, Gu Changwei followed him and handed him a cigarette. He actually knew that Cao Yang basically didn't smoke, but he did it anyway.

Old Gu lit a cigarette for himself, dragged a stool over from the side, sat down and let the cigarette burn without smoking. He looked at the slowly rising smoke and pondered for a long time before expressing his thoughts.

"Director Cao, I think the group of shots just now are very good and can be used as the official version. I personally think that they are not worse than the storyboard script that was planned at the beginning."

Cao Yang thought about it and felt that Gao Yuanyuan's performance just now was indeed good, whether it was her forbearance at the beginning or her sudden outburst after tearing up the photos, it could be said that she was full of emotions, and every subtle expression of hers conveyed the inner world of the character.

But it was a church, and her actions were irrational and illogical, and there was no script to have a priest come out to comfort her. "Her performance was very good, but tearing up photos in a church and throwing them around, don't you think it's a bit disrespectful, a bit impious, and a bit disrespectful to God..."

Is the heroine a devout believer?

No, she didn't believe in God at all in the first place.

The reason why she went to the church was because she was desperate and heartbroken. She needed a reason to live, a motivation to live.

She needs "faith" to live.

When her "faith" collapsed, she began to retaliate, to destroy, and even to seduce God's spokesperson. In the end, she couldn't help but commit suicide by cutting her wrists.

But her desire to survive only became apparent when the blood gushed out.

So, if she was not solemn, pious, and respectful to God in the church at the beginning, could it also be a foreshadowing of her later outrageous behavior - she did not believe in God in the first place?

"You think this is good?"

Cao Yang asked Gu Changwei, and it seemed like he was asking himself.

Without waiting for Lao Gu to answer, Cao Yang stood up, picked up the loudspeaker, turned it up to the maximum volume, and looked at the crew members who had been working with him for two and a half months.

Everyone looked at Cao Yang in confusion as he stood up, still holding a loud speaker. Was he preparing to film? Didn't they say there was a 20-minute break?
But no one said anything, and everyone was ready to get to work right away.

"I declare it a done deal!"

Everyone was stunned, suspecting that they had heard it wrong.

"Finished!"

Cao Yang shouted again, "The last set of shots is perfect, no need to shoot anymore, wrap up!"

"We'll have dinner tonight, on the crew's account."

Cao Yang added another sentence.

Now everyone understood and started cheering at once. There were all kinds of shouts, and one could even hear people shouting, “Director Cao, I love you.”

Even Gao Yuanyuan shouted a few words in a low voice, but she was inconspicuous among the many voices.

At the beginning of the dinner in the evening, Cao Yang announced that everyone should eat and drink well. He would not drink because he had a lot of things to do, and would toast everyone with tea instead of wine.

In fact, Cao Yang was afraid that he would be toasted and drunk by students who did not know the seriousness of the situation, and he was also afraid that drinking too much would cause trouble and lead to making mistakes of principle again.

He had promised Old Situ that he would fight against the bad practices of the directing department, keep himself clean, learn from it, and never make the same mistake again...

I have made a mistake once and cannot make it again.

Cao Yang was secretly happy that he was able to quit drinking.

Back in the room, Cao Yang calculated the time. Today is February 2th, the 9th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Fortunately, they finished the work ahead of time and everyone can go home for the New Year.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the doorbell ring.

When I opened the door, it turned out to be Dong Xuan.

Before Cao Yang could say anything, Dong Xuan bent down and came in.

This scene seemed familiar, as if Li Xiaoran and Yu Feihong had done this before.

What's wrong with you? You treat my room as your own home, right?
