Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 243 Legends never wear

Chapter 243 Legends never wear

Chongqing Railway Middle School.

Most of the school scenes in the movie "Better Days" were shot here.

Zeng Guoxiang and Xu Yuezhen took into consideration that Shen Juande joined the crew half a month later. In order to reduce unnecessary time waste and not affect the subsequent shooting plan, the director simply concentrated all the school scenes that did not require the male lead to participate in the front for intensive shooting.

Today is the last day, and there are only a few shots left to complete the campus portion of the entire movie, which gives Shen Juan just enough time to adapt to the filming atmosphere of the crew.

We had lunch in the RV.

Eight dishes and one soup, for two people.

Compared with the three people in "Flowers and Youth" who ate more than 20 dishes, this is already a model of thrift in the entertainment industry.

“This chicken leg is too big, I can’t finish it.”

Zhou Ye held a half-eaten chicken leg and looked at Shen Juan pitifully, as if he didn't want to be blamed for wasting food and wanted Shen Juan to help him deal with the mess.

"If you can't finish it, put it aside." Shen Juan was replying to Du Hua's WeChat. Perhaps in order to make Shen Juan feel a sense of belonging to the company, this sister now often reports to Shen Juan on the company's development and related updates of its artists.

"Ah? That's not a good idea." Zhou Ye knew that Shen Juan's words probably meant throwing it away later.

Shen Juan put down his phone and looked up at her. "What do you do when you can't finish the takeout you order?"

"If you can't finish it, don't eat it."

"That's it. It's the same now as it was in the past."

"Yeah," Zhou Ye nodded.

"There's no camera pointing at you right now, and we're not recording a variety show. Who would be so bored as to give you a high altitude?"

Huang Lei wastes so much ingredients every time he cooks, but no one complains, right?
To put it bluntly, unless the program crew deliberately makes trouble for you, such accidents will not happen.

"That's indeed the truth, but can't you express your opinion?" Zhou Ye blinked.

"What does it mean?"

"Help me eat it. I've seen couples in romantic movies eat it this way, half each."

Shen Juan forced out a mechanical smile and decisively refused, "No, I don't like eating other people's leftovers."

"But I ate everything for you!" Zhou Ye snorted in dissatisfaction, hinting at something.

Shen Juan was silent for a while, "Then bring it here."

"Forget it."

"Playing tricks on me?"

"Hehe! If you don't know, then forget it, but since you already know, then why should I let you, Juanjuan, do something you don't like? I'm not Huang Lei giving you an obedience test." Zhou Ye squinted his eyes and smiled, "Just having this intention is enough!"

Shen Juan looked a little surprised, but it was indeed something a kid would do, so he smiled and said, "You are dark-skinned and I am yellow. I have always respected him."

"Are you being sarcastic or are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious." Shen Juan's expression was sincere.

"But your performance on the show"

As a ten-year-old fan of Shen Juan, Zhou Ye would naturally not miss any news or materials.

“That’s all for show effect.”

It’s really a show effect.

If Huang Lei continued to talk nonsense like that off camera, Shen Juan would probably just turn around and leave without even listening. Why would he stay there and talk back to him?

After all, a reality show needs some highlights.

The era of "I'm fine, you're fine, and everyone is fine" is completely over. Now what the audience wants to see is quarrels and explosive news.

For example, although "Flowers in the Palace" was badly criticized, its ratings were still high;

Although "Flowers in the Third Century" has a good reputation, its ratings are poor.

If a variety show wants to stand out, it has to create topics and conflicts, so as to break through the original audience circle and attract more viewers to watch the show.

Frankly speaking, Shen Juan actually really wanted to go and play on "Flowers in the Sky".

Because he likes both quarreling and serious traveling, especially quarreling. He is really curious whether there is anyone in the domestic entertainment industry who dares to confront him head-on.

Moreover, his international celebrity status can be said to perfectly fit the theme of the show "Flowers and Youth". As long as he doesn't go to Africa, I'm afraid that people will know him wherever he goes.

It’s a pity that the show has been discontinued, and I don’t know if it will really be restarted in 2022, four years later.

They finished their lunch while eating and chatting. Zhou Ye packed up his lunch box and was about to take the garbage away from Shen Juan's RV, but he was pulled back by him.

"What are you doing?"

"Do you have a play this afternoon?"

"No."

"I do not have either."

"so."

"So take a nap here at noon."

Zhou Ye instinctively lowered her eyes slightly, then her pretty face blushed, and she immediately understood something.

"Did you bring an umbrella?" she asked in a low voice.

"How can you carry something like that with you?" "What should we do then?"

"It's okay, I can control it, and don't you know there's a saying like this, Xiaoye?"

"What did you say?"

“Legends are never worn.”

The filming of the campus drama was completed smoothly.

In the evening, it was Shen Juan's turn to work.

As for the script and the character's lines, Shen Juan has read and memorized them almost completely during this period of time.

The story of "Better Days" takes place in a college entrance examination review center with only 42 days left before the college entrance examination.

Hu Xiaodie, a classmate of the heroine Chen Nian, suffered from suffocating school violence for a long time. After seeking help from all parties to no avail, she chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building in despair.

The heroine Chen Nian, who is Hu Xiaodie's friend, unfortunately becomes the next target of bullying by these campus abusers in order to vent their animal desires.

A good friend committed suicide, the abuser kept pressing on, the mother ran away due to debt, and the debt collection group frequently came to the door.
Just as the numb Chen Nian was walking further and further on this dark and gloomy road of life, becoming more and more tired, losing his direction and completely unable to see any light.

By coincidence, she met the protagonist Xiaobei, a school dropout who was beaten up while making a living on the streets.

So two poor people with completely different personalities and backgrounds came together because of the same desperate life, licking each other's wounds, hugging each other for warmth, and supporting each other.
Xiaobei promised Chen Nian that he would protect her for a month until the college entrance examination was over.

Chen Nian promised Xiao Bei that after she was successfully admitted to Peking University, she would bring him to Beijing to make money together and live a new life.

So the two people who rekindled their hope in life spent a very beautiful and warm time together.

However, the good times did not last long. Under the scheme of the campus bullies, Xiao Bei failed to protect Chen Nian. Chen Nian could not help but commit manslaughter after being bullied and taking nude photos. The ridiculous and miserable life pushed the two to the brink of despair.

Like Shen Juan’s upcoming film “A River of Sadness”, it still deals with the familiar theme of school bullying.

Speaking of which, school bullying has been a hot social topic in recent years.

Shen Juan shot two films in a row to reflect current serious social issues, calling on fans to resist school bullying, which also happened to market his social influence.

The traditional traffic assembly line model of broadcasting dramas - marketing - attracting fans - taking on business - increasing sales - licking high-end luxury goods is no longer suitable for him who wants to break out of the traffic framework.

In a sense, considering Shen Juan as a traffic star now is just a way to help other top stars in the circle.

After all, who would know you guys when you go abroad?
Even if all the overseas fame and foreign fans of everyone were added together, I'm afraid they would not be able to beat Shen Juan alone.

No matter how well you do in China, you are only transferring the money from your fans’ pockets to the pockets of domestic upper-class capital.

Although Shen Juan has taken an international route and released songs overseas to gain fans, he will also be profited mostly by foreign entertainment capital.

But at least he can earn foreign exchange for the country.

It can also play a certain role in publicity output.

Leaving aside other things, the value and significance of the latter alone is not something that these top stars who only want to make money by taking advantage of their fans can challenge.

Late at night, Silver Star Mall in YZ District, CQ City.

After the makeup artist spent two full hours applying battle-damaged makeup to Shen Juan, Shen Juan’s first scene after joining the crew of "Better Days" after a half-month delay was finally about to begin filming.

Shen Juan's face was bruised and bloodied at this time. He combed his bangs back and tied his hair into a very casual and unrestrained half-ponytail while acting with Zhou Qiuyu.

It must be said that although Shen Juan at this moment was different from the cold and noble appearance he had shown in public before, he looked particularly rough and shabby, but with his unruly and unruly eyes and clear muscle lines.
All I can say is that after the movie is released, it will probably surprise fans and audiences and they will exclaim: The male protagonist in the rough and forced love literature finally has a face, my goodness, his plasticity is really strong!
What made the experienced makeup artist on the crew couldn't help but sigh was that Shen Juan was completely different from other artists she had met before, who were very particular about angles and makeup.

It's even a bit exaggerated. With this level of appearance, he can pull off any style combination. This undoubtedly saves her a lot of brain cells, and she can easily design a look that satisfies everyone.

Zhou Qiuyu attached great importance to this movie, so he wanted to see how good Shen Juan's acting skills were through this scene.

If basically satisfactory?

Then we can look forward to more things.

What if he is the same as the original male lead Lu Han?
Then lower your expectations early on and view this movie as a purely commercial film meant to hit the box office.

Anyway, Shen Juan joined the crew with the halo of honor as an international star. No matter how she performs in the end, she will not suffer any loss as the female lead with the same role as him. She even has the opportunity to expand her overseas popularity in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places.

Because of this, she also put away her temper in front of Shen Juan, and smiled happily every day. Her low emotional intelligence, which was criticized by countless netizens, instantly improved a lot.

I can only say that there is nothing wrong with what Huang Bo said.

After becoming famous, there are indeed good people around you.

The bad guys have to pretend to be good guys.

As for Shen Juan, he also attaches great importance to this play.

If "An Elephant Sitting Still" was intended to gain a nomination for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, "A River of Sorrow" was intended to demonstrate its commercial value and box office ability.

Then this movie "Better Days" has both.

In his expectation, this movie should be both a box office hit and award-winning.

Wouldn’t it be great if I could win Best Actor nominations at both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards with this movie?

Of course, although it cannot be compared with the three major award-winning actor (in fact, there is currently no one who has won the three major award-winning actor), the achievement of being nominated for the three major award-winning actor is also very remarkable.

So Shen Juan has been very focused on filming during this period.

Not only did he memorize and understand the script over and over again, he also asked someone to invite Zhang Songwen, an acting teacher who has a very good reputation in the industry, to provide guidance and teaching throughout the process.

It is through this drama that he can establish his own acting style, lay a solid foundation for his performance, and become a leader among young actors in the domestic entertainment industry.

 As usual, a play is written with a little bit of plot when it is finished, and nothing is mentioned for the rest of the time.
