Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 452 Shocking Real Scene

It was already 5:30 in the afternoon when the guest shot was finished.

This time, his role is even smaller than in "Changjin Lake".

The entire film "The Battle at Changjin Lake" lasts at least five or six minutes, and "The Wandering Earth 2" is less than two minutes.

After changing back into his private clothes, Xu Yien checked in at various locations on the set to take pictures.

These mechanical devices are really cool and stylish.

When the movie is released, I will select some and post a nine-grid photo on Weibo.

In fact, compared to "The Wandering Earth 2", Xu Yien still prefers to watch the first part.

The first part has a lot of grand mechanical craftsmanship, planetary engines, large engineering vehicle exoskeletons, etc., as well as dungeons.

I didn't feel the shocking beauty of Sphere 2 except for the space elevator.

Secondly, although the second chronicle has an epic feel, it is not as coherent as the main storyline of the first.

The amount of information is indeed large enough, but I feel that the three parallel lines are not well balanced and related. Perhaps the chronological narrative is indeed difficult. The protagonists are actually doing the same thing, but the settings of the several outbreak points are a bit scattered.

From personal experience, many viewers even fell asleep in the cinema, mainly because there were too many literary scenes and it was not that exciting.

Although Xu Yien thinks Andy Lau's digital lifeline is quite good-looking, and the various clips of it together with "Gong Xi Fa Cai" are very popular and novel.

But it still didn't prevent Tu Hengyu's digital lifeline from being scolded.

There is really no need for fans to abuse him, and it will not affect the relationship between the crew and Andy Lau.

The thanks are not in vain.

This has nothing to do with Xu Yien, because Xu Yien only made a cameo appearance in the second part.

The most important thing for Xu Yien is to perform well in "The Vanishing Lady" and "The Journey Home".

When Andy Lau saw Xu Yien, he greeted her: "Yien!"

Xu Yien, who was browsing on his phone, looked up and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Andy Lau."

Andy Lau is a well-read TV series writer and has watched many mainland TV series, such as "Addicted" and "Guardian".

Xu Yien put his phone in his pocket and the two shook hands.

Andy Lau said: "I've seen your performance in Soul Guardian, it was very good. Are you here to make a cameo appearance this time?"

Xu Yien replied: "Yes."

"If there's a chance in the future, we should collaborate more often. I'm really looking forward to working with a young and outstanding actor like you. Hahaha, let's add each other on WeChat."

"I also look forward to working with you. My father is a fan of yours. If my father knew that I could act with you, he would definitely be very happy."

To be honest, most people of Song Ge’s generation liked Hong Kong stars.

I am not just a fan of Andy Lau, I am also a fan of Jacky Cheung.

Xu Yien felt that he could still ask for an autograph.

Andy Lau smiled and said warmly, "Oh? I see. Remember to bring it to your father when the time comes."

"Okay, Mr. Dehua, can you write an autograph for my father?"

"Okay."

Fans don’t need to bring photos for autographed photos, because the star’s studio will prepare these photos themselves as gifts and feedback to fans. Things that are worthless are not worth mentioning at all.

Taking the photo and pen from his assistant, Andy Lau asked, "What's your father's name?"

Xu Yien said: "Xu Wensong, the word 'wen' means article, and the word 'song' means pine and cypress."

After signing his name neatly, Andy Lau also wrote some nice words of blessing, namely "good health and all the best".

Andy Lau couldn't write something like "as blessed as the East Sea" because judging from Xu Yien's age, his father must be much younger than him.

Taking the autographed photo, Xu Yien smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Dehua."

"Just call me Brother Hua."

"Thank you, Brother Hua."

After some pleasantries, Andy Lau talked about why Xu Yien chose to act in "Guardian".

Maybe when he was chatting with Huang Jinyu, he also discussed why Huang Jinyu chose to play "Addicted".

Xu Yien said frankly: "At that time, there were no film offers. The Taiwanese actor originally scheduled for the role of "Guardian" felt that there was no future and left. It just so happened that my schedule and the character's characteristics were suitable, so I stepped up to save the situation. I also miss that time. It was several years ago. I was very happy when I was filming."

Originally, the role of Shen Wei was scheduled to be played by Ren Yankai from Taiwan, but he heard in advance that the investor was going to run away, so he immediately broke the contract.

It can be said that Xu Yien’s performance in "Guardian" is the same as Qu Chuxiao’s performance in "The Wandering Earth".

But the rescue went wrong, which slapped the face of the original actor who ran away.

Of course, this is also because Xu Yien took away Brother Long's opportunity. Fortunately, Xu Yien still has a conscience. In movies such as "Peak Explosion" and "Life Events", Xu Yien had no intention of taking away the opportunity.

Even without "Life Events", I can still win the Golden Rooster Award!

Andy Lau praised, "It's great. In mainland China, this kind of subject matter doesn't really align with mainstream values. There are a lot of dramas with this theme in Hong Kong and Taiwan, like 'Want to See You,' you've seen it. A lot has been cut out here." Xu Yien chuckled, "I know. It's mainly because I'm playing a danmei drama, not a danmei. Don't overthink it. Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan have a true socialist brotherhood."

"Hahahaha, I understand, I understand."

Andy Lau raised a meaningful smile.

Previous films like "Farewell My Concubine", "Lan Yu", "East Palace, West Palace" and "Beautiful Boy's Love" are all BL films in a sense, and are now classics.

The original work of "The Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" starring Huang Xiaoming and Yin Zheng is a tribute to "Farewell My Concubine";
Yin Zheng took on this drama not just to gain traffic.

The second reason is that as a fan of Leslie Cheung, it is most appropriate for Yin Zheng to play the role of Shang Xirui to pay tribute to Cheng Dieyi.

In fact, the reason why danmei adaptations are banned now is very simple. The voices of female danmei adaptations are too loud and they can easily lead teenagers astray. This is a wrong value.

In fact, even if danmei adaptations are banned, those who are willing to do it will still do it.

Such as "Lotus Tower", "Hunting Crime Picture Book", "Kuang Hu", "The Republic of China Detective", "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", "Young Song", "The Three-Body Problem", and "Fengshen" these film and television works.

You can’t avoid being criticized on LOFTER and various platforms.

Fangirls will find their own way to make a living.

After the broadcast of "Kuang Biao", the popularity of CPs such as "Qiang Xin Ji" and "Xin Xiang Shi Cheng" will also cause Xu Yien to be criticized by the haters and return to the "Dangai"!
Nothing to worry about.

Magnolia: I will put forward my Best Actor nomination!
……

……

The capital of the Numean Republic was Leptis.

This exotic town built on flat land covers an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters, including more than 70 buildings, two main streets and five small streets. Each street has a clear functional plan, and various shops such as mobile phone stores, pharmacies, clothing stores, milk tea shops, etc. are scattered among them.

After planting seventy or eighty coconut trees and palm trees, an exotic atmosphere emerges.

Xu Yien exclaimed, "Fuck!"

Seeing it live is more shocking than in the movie.

It feels like I am in a foreign country now.

Rao Xiaozhi has a small mustache and pushed up his glasses.

With a proud smile on his face.

I am extremely satisfied with Xu Yien's concise feedback.

He smiled and said, "Yien, we haven't finished setting up the set yet. It's expected to take more than a month. The art team still needs to take into account all the details of the characters' lives. If there aren't enough details, it won't be enough to support this world."

Although the country and city are fictional, the details are all based on facts.

The art team learned about the city's appearance during the war through news documentaries, photos taken by war correspondents, and evacuation documentaries, and observed urban planning and street widths through maps.

Studying the customs of local residents, as well as the personalities and living habits of the characters in the play, and on this basis, creating the characters' living environment and the atmosphere in which the plot takes place, this is the job of a film artist.

Creating a sense of reality does not mean replicating reality. Simply replicating reality cannot bring a strong visual impact to the audience.

All of these effects have to be created by artists.

Unable to display his own culture, Xu Yien just gave a thumbs-up and said crudely, "Fuck, that's really cool."

As usual, films of the same type are mostly shot in Morocco, Jordan and other places, where there are natural scenery, foreign actors and military equipment needed for filming.

However, due to the influence of masks, the difficulty and cost of international filming increased, and the main creators finally decided to set the scene in China, which also posed a challenge to the art team.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg." Rao Xiaozhi put his hand on Xu Yien's shoulder and continued, "The rest of our film's nearly 100 scenes, including cities, borders, and deserts, were shot in Yinchuan and Shizuishan in Ningxia, as well as in the border area between Inner Mongolia and Ningxia."

A guy with a short haircut appeared next to him, and he was also very satisfied with Xu Yien's surprised look.

The guy with the buzz cut smiled and said, "Of course it will work. This is the most tiring set design job I've done in all these years."

Looking at Rao Xiaozhi, Xu Yien asked curiously, "Who is this?"

Rao Xiaozhi patted the man with the crew cut on the shoulder.

He smiled and introduced Xu Yien, "This is our translator's art director, Li Miao. He's pretty awesome, right?"

"No, no, no, this is the credit of our entire crew."

Li Miao was very modest. He continued, "Director Rao, Director Guo, and I have been discussing this every day for a while now. This is truly my biggest project in all these years. I won't take orders like this anymore. It's too tiring, hahaha."

He served as the art director for "Miracle Kids", "The Lone Moon", "Assassination of Novelist", "Dying to Survive" and "Detective Chinatown", and his skills are very profound.

Xu Yien gave a thumbs-up and said sincerely, "Damn, Director Li is awesome. It's my honor to be able to participate in such a thoughtful film."

"I'm really looking forward to your Sniper. I think you'll be chosen by Director Zhang Yimou to play the leading role. Your acting will be amazing!"

Rao Xiaozhi's words are rough but his logic is sound.

Xu Yien also smacked his lips, raised his eyebrows proudly, and said proudly: "Don't worry, Director Rao, I will definitely not let you down. When the time comes, you can come and watch my sniper and feel my acting skills before the filming starts."

"Okay! I'll give you a shoutout on Weibo then!"

Xu Yien and Rao Xiaozhi bumped fists: "Okay."
