I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 304, A Close Friend Never Before Met: Yu Hua Joins "Hidden in the Dust"!

It wasn't until the dismemberment case began to be investigated that the name Shen Mo appeared in people's discussions—but only as a name, not as someone with any real social activity within the Huagang Steel Plant area. This character's appearance was associated with death and the unknown, starting with the suspected death of her, and connecting the two sides, the light and the dark, through Wang Yang, the only person who was close to her.

A silent girl.

Gao Yuanyuan underestimated the script.
She could tell that this was a script that could change her destiny.

But I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Shen Mo, that child.

Her fate.

If the main theme of "The Long Season" is the bright yet melancholic daytime.

The underlying theme is the dark, gloomy night.

Shen Mo, Fu Weijun, and Sui Dong.

These three children formed an unbreakable alliance in the dim candlelight. Together they hoped for a bright future and rebelled against their tragic fate. After they finally won a video arcade, they may have briefly believed that the turmoil was over and that by becoming small business owners on their own small plot of land, they could live a stable and comfortable life like normal people.

future.

It is warm.

There was at least a little bit of warmth, albeit very briefly.

Whether it's Shen Mo, Fu Weijun, or Sui Dong.

After Shen Mo briefly took Wang Yang's warm hand, her adoptive parents' terrifying control returned. When she fought back, they became even more ruthless. The forced nude photos affected her studies, and she was drugged by her nightclub colleagues and forced into prostitution.
When you're backed into a corner, you have nothing left to lose.

kill.

kill!

Mo, whether intentionally or accidentally, murdered the Hong Kong businessman who had wronged her and Yin Hong who had betrayed her. The 800,000 yuan draft was stolen by three children—the resettlement funds that belonged to the workers of Huagang Steel Plant had vanished without a trace.

Their fates became intertwined with the protagonist's storyline.

This also connects to the 'murder case' that occurred here.

fate.

It's just a fucking thing.

The actors present.

Everyone.

Now I understand—why this work is called "The Long Season".

This autumn.

It was really long.

It trapped everyone.

If Li Xuan initially drew the actors into the role during filming, that's no longer the case.

They all got into their roles.

Even Li Xuan was able to dedicate more energy to Biaozi—

At this moment, Li Xuan saw the skill that had appeared in his body.

It is not a reward from the system.

Rather, it is a talent that is gained through trials and tribulations.

This ability comes from combining the roles of director and actor.

Because of their dual roles, they know how to express the subtle movements and feelings of the characters. In terms of specific abilities, they possess the qualities of a director, enabling actors to understand the characters more meticulously and deliver stronger performances.

The sense of immersion and engagement, coupled with the ability to support the actors' performances.

This reflects my understanding and abilities as a director.

The ingenious mechanisms, such as color, shot composition, and cinematography, are all different.

One's own abilities and talents are simply a matter of brute-force numerical increases.

at this time.

Filming for "The Long Season" is coming to an end; this long autumn is finally coming to a close.

Wang Xiang's voice.

Move forward.

Don't look back.

This series has ended.

it's over.
After the filming wrapped, Fan Wei and Chen Minghao, also known as Captain Ma, both left the crew in silence, without even attending the wrap party.
Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen didn't stay either. These two people, who were always laughing and joking around at the Beijing Film Academy, didn't even have this sense of isolation when filming "The Young Pioneers".

For them, this filming was the real challenge.

"The Young Students" is a play.

In "The Long Season," this sense of immersion doesn't feel like acting.

Instead, it felt like a tearing apart.

The feeling of tearing something apart and then placing it in front of you.

On the contrary, those who attended the wrap party were all those with 'milder symptoms'.

"You really are a monster."

At this moment, Huang Liru and Liu Mintao, who were standing next to Li Xuan, looked at him with complicated expressions.

I originally thought Li Xuan was only that amazing in adapted scripts, but I never expected his performance in an original script to be so explosive.
The experience of those involved in the script and the photography team is completely different.

As an actress, she understands this deeply.

If the editing of Li Xuan's drama is good, what kind of effect can it have?

She even had a feeling.

This work might be a contender for the title of best drama of the year.

Just like "Bright Sword" back then, it has the dominance of a top-tier drama!

Of course, this only applies to the directing and screenwriting; regarding the actors...

She saw one, completely absorbed in the play.

Gong Biao seemed to live in another world.

And then there's 'Li Xuan' right in front of me.

seriously.

There were still some things she couldn't say, and Liu Mintao felt that she might have fallen for him.

Is it that optimistic loser, 'Gong Biao'?

Or perhaps it's this exceptionally talented prodigy right before me.

Can't tell.

It's so hard to tell them apart.

For Huayi's photography team, this shoot went exceptionally smoothly.

Because the number of NGs is very small, really very small.

The kind of number of times you can count them on one hand.

Even in the films "To Live" and "Red Sorghum," Zhang Yimou still puts enough pressure on others, and he doesn't hold back when he's scolding people, because communication between people is bound to have barriers and costs.

This kind of communication cost is something no one can change or avoid.

But in "The Long Season," this communication cost seems to non-existent.

"You mean, he didn't ask for much help, and his communication with other people seemed to have no cost whatsoever?"

Wang Haiyang was still a little confused at this point.

It seems quite ordinary.

However, regardless of how "The Long Season" turns out, Huayi's current focus is on "Assembly," the TV series "Soldiers Sortie," and Zhang Jizhong's "The Deer and the Cauldron," which they will invest in next year.
The photography director sent this time also found it strange.

There was never a time when we filmed.

When you encounter this feeling.

It's like actors, directors, and screenwriters are in their own worlds, while those who work as photographers have no idea what they're filming, can only give a brief outline of the plot, and can't immerse themselves in it at all, but the actors can immerse themselves completely in it.

So, Wang Haiyang and Jiang Li asked from the side.

When asked about the composition of this work, he could only give one answer.

That means they don't understand.

However, Wang Haiyang didn't say anything more about this work.

After all, he doesn't seem like the type to become popular.

When we finished filming "The Long Season".

Li Xuan was the last to leave this black soil.

"The Long Season".

It was really long.

For Li Xuan, the autumns of 2006, 1997, and 1998 all seemed to have passed by here. It felt like an eternity.

This applies to every character.

At this moment, Li Xuan had a very strange feeling. After all, this was his hometown.

one.
My father's hometown.

Like Gong Biao, he is the most special one in "The Long Season".

The murder case had virtually nothing to do with him; he was basically just one of the most ordinary people who drifted along with the tide.

And this kind of ordinariness and commonness.

He seemed to be just like his own father.

One.

Just an ordinary person.

At this moment, Li Xuan glanced back once and then continued walking forward.

Sudden.

Li Xuan seemed to hear a voice calling to him amidst the surging crowd.

The voice was speaking.

Go forward.

Don't look back.

Looking back, there was nothing there, only the azure sky and distant cornfields.

That's all.

When Li Xuan got home, he also organized the things he needed to do next, including the upcoming releases of "Buried Alive" and "Protégé". Judging from the timeline, "Protégé" and "Buried Alive" were scheduled to air consecutively.

"The Disciples" came first, and "Buried" followed closely behind.

"Protégé" directly clashes with "Lust, Caution" and "The Warlords".

The three seem to be locked in a power struggle.
Li Xuan may not watch "The Warlords," but he'll definitely support "Lust, Caution."

Nothing more than art.

In terms of international recognition, Li An is more influential than Zhang Yimou in the Chinese-speaking world—however, part of the reason is that he is actively catering to American values.

At this point, Zhang Yimou still wanted to promote his own values, but it was just a step more difficult.
According to Wei Ming.

Meanwhile, the production of "Hidden in the Dust" has been arranged. This project is much simpler to film than "The Long Season". After all, the biggest significance of this project is that it only requires the male and female leads.

According to Wei Ming.

After reading the synopsis of the work "Hidden in the Dust," someone came knocking on the door, drawn by the scent.

When Li Xuan found out who had come to his door...

That was quite unexpected.

Needless to say, I don't need money this time. I'm doing this purely out of my own desire, because I know that I seem to be able to find my own "happiness" here with you.

At this moment, Yu Hua chuckled.

"You just want to instill your own 'happiness' in others, don't you?"

"Hahahaha! ~~~ Yeah, right~ After finishing 'Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit' and 'Little Chef Fu Gui,' I had nowhere to go!"

In Wei Ming's view, Li Xuan and Yu Hua didn't seem to have much interaction, but when they got along, it was like they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

At first, Wei Ming thought that this great writer must be very aloof.

As it turned out, he and Li Xuan had a very congenial conversation.

so amazing.

Li Xuan thought so too.

It was as if the two had known each other for a long time.

It's probably because the other person understands my work, and I understand theirs. Although we haven't had much interaction, we know each other very well. We know what kind of person they are, what they like, their joys and sorrows, their hobbies, and everything about them.

After a soul-to-soul exchange and connection, one knows everything about the other.

That would naturally be a 'close friend'.

"Our other good friend, Shi Tiesheng, was completely stunned after reading your work. He stopped thinking about dying all the time. I originally thought he would live for three more years at most, but now it's no problem for him to live for another three years."

“The quality of life for uremia patients is very low. He has been suffering a lot over the years and almost wanted to give up.”

Li Xuan listened as Yu Hua rambled on about her relationship with Shi Tiesheng.

At this point, Yu Hua said...

Although it's selfish and painful, as a friend, I still hope he can live.

Just stay alive.

As long as you're alive, good things will always happen.

As long as you're alive, you're bound to encounter something good.

Maybe if I live a few more years, I'll be able to find a kidney donor.

Yu Hua is always optimistic.

Thank you, Li Xuan.

I will help you.

Hidden in the dust and smoke.

I took a quick look at the script.

It's also a type of activity that I'm good at.

As Li Xuan listened to Yu Hua's words, a warm feeling welled up inside him.

Although I say that my purpose in creating this is...

It's very simple and unassuming; it's all about fame and fortune. But when you realize that your work truly gives people a sense of hope for life...

That sense of satisfaction was real and tangible.

It feels so good, this sense of satisfaction.

Therefore, there are many reasons why Yu Hua wanted to help Li Xuan. Whether it was as a friend who shared artistic sensibilities, or because he wanted to rekindle his friend's hope for life through Li Xuan's works, there were many reasons.

There are many reasons that promote this.

Moreover.

Li Xuan's script was indeed interesting; it truly resonated with him, something that was ingrained in his very bones and soul.

This is actually a kind of happiness.

To communicate and work with people with whom you can resonate on a soul level.

Bliss.

"I'm actually a little curious. I heard you recently filmed a period drama, which is also a suspenseful one. To be honest, I quite like this type of drama, but most of them are made by Japanese and Korean actors."

Is your work a commercial or artistic work?

What kind of ratings are they aiming for?

Yu Hua, who was standing next to Li Xuan, was muttering to himself.

Then I saw Li Xuan's eyes.

friend.

A relationship of mutual understanding.

The moment their eyes met.

Yu Hua understood.

Then he gave a thumbs up.

This is absolutely unbelievable.

But that is indeed your idea.

At this moment, Li Xuan was also planning his next move.
