Huayu 2007: Starting with Super Boy!

Half a month after joining the film crew.

Xie Ruolin's role then became more prominent.

That's right, for the first half of the month, aside from a few sporadic scenes.

Wang Yihan was actually in a period where she had no acting opportunities.

Because Xie Ruolin's scenes in the TV series are mainly concentrated between episodes 17 and 27.

He is a very important supporting character, but he doesn't have many scenes.

Therefore, he didn't actually need to join the crew in advance.

But he still came.

The reason is also very simple.

In order to better integrate into the film crew.

The objective has been achieved.

He's thriving on set now.

I feel very comfortable.

No one tripped him up, and no one talked behind his back.

Only... Yao Ming.

He dodged it time and time again.

It seems like I have some reservations about him.

But that doesn't matter.

Today's scene is very important.

It was a scene between him and the male lead of the drama, Sun Honglei.

It's the scene in the show where the two people are exchanging information in the coffee shop.

This also gave rise to the show's most famous line: "Now there are two gold bars here, tell me which one is noble and which one is filthy?"

To be honest, this scene...

The requirements for actors are very high.

Is Wang Yihan really capable of doing this?

Director Jiang Wei was genuinely worried for him.

Before filming began, I specifically called him over and instructed him: "Just relax and act naturally in a bit. When I yell 'cut,' don't be nervous, just keep acting. This scene is quite important, so we'll be filming it several times."

"Do you understand now?"

Wang Yihan glanced at her equipment inventory and said confidently, "Don't worry, director, I won't let you down."

After he left, Huang Wei, the assistant director beside him, laughed and said, "Hey, this kid is pretty confident. He's probably in for a tough time with this scene."

"Director Jiang, you can't lower your standards for him just because of Sister Hua."

Huang Wei and Wang Yihan have a very good relationship.

Saying this was also to cover for him.

That way he won't get scolded by the director later.

The tyrant on set is no joke.

The director has absolute authority on the film set.

No matter how famous you are as an actor, if you don't act well, you'll still be criticized without hesitation.

This is completely different from the director who later became a star's nanny.

Director Jiang Wei glanced at him but didn't say anything.

He knew all the little tricks and schemes in the film crew.

But he usually doesn't bother with things that aren't major.

It's good to be confused sometimes.

"Okay, script supervisor, clear the set!" Assistant director Huang Wei shouted through a megaphone.

The site staff have completed the clearing process.

Following this, the instructors from each group (lighting, photography, and sound recording) came in and checked the equipment.

After confirming that there are no errors.

The actors are in place.

Assistant director Huang Wei looked at director Jiang Wei: "Director Jiang, all departments are ready!"

Jiang Wei nodded and took the speaker: "Turn it on!"

The lighting, photography, and sound recording teams started filming.

Then the stage manager came on stage and struck the clapperboard:

"Episode 19 of 'Lurking,' Scene 23, 1 shot, 1 take!"

With a "snap," the script supervisor who had just finished hitting the clapperboard quickly ran off-screen.

The director raised the megaphone again and shouted, "Action!"

Filming has officially begun!

The actors enter the frame.

A window seat in a coffee shop in Tianjin.

Yu Zecheng arrived first, followed by Xie Ruolin who sat down. There were two cups of coffee on the table.

Xie Ruolin (laughing, stammering): "Zecheng, you're here? I knew you'd come."

Yu Zecheng (expressionless): "Speak plainly."

Xie Ruolin: "Fine, that's enough! I'll just ask you one question: Did you have Wanqiu steal my batch of goods?"

Yu Zecheng: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Xie Ruolin: "Stop pretending! That batch of goods is my livelihood. If you cut off my source of income, you're cutting off my path to survival."

......

The performance went very smoothly.

It's not like a young person is facing off against a veteran actor.

Instead, it was two veteran actors putting on a spectacular performance.

Sun Honglei, who was acting opposite Wang Yihan, was also secretly surprised.

When he learned that his co-star today was a young man, he thought it might be a bit troublesome and take a long time.

Unexpectedly, they held their own against me.

That's really rare.

You should know that his aura is truly unique.

His scenes with other actors are not something that ordinary actors can handle.

The director didn't yell "cut," and the two continued acting according to the script.

until...

The climax of this scene:

Xie Ruolin pulled two gold bars from his pocket, slammed them on the table, and stared at Yu Zecheng:

"Now that these two gold bars are here, tell me which one is noble and which one is despicable? Don't give me that!"

At this moment, he, who had always stuttered, spoke fluently without a single stutter.

Behind the camera.

Director Jiang Wei watched the two performers with slight surprise.

Surprisingly, it was surprisingly good.

Wang Yihan, a greenhorn fresh out of school, surprisingly held his own against Sun Honglei, a seasoned veteran.

The actors who were watching from the surrounding area.

They all looked surprised.

This young man, who has been running around seeking advice everywhere for the past two weeks, is surprisingly insightful.

With such skill, it's amazing that they're still willing to ask questions.

hiss! ~

This child has a limitless future.

What are the challenges in portraying Xie Ruolin?

The challenges lie in the rhythm of the dialogue, the contrast between the characters, emotional control, and the tension in the scenes with Sun Honglei.

Wang Yihan's handling of that scene just now was extremely clever.

Xie Ruolin's stuttering was merely a cover-up.

He's nonchalant and stutters when he speaks, but when it comes to things that concern him, like money, intelligence, and business, he immediately becomes fluent and sharp-eyed.

The contrast between the beginning and the end is striking.

In short, Wang Yihan brought the minor character Xie Ruolin to life in just that short segment.

"Click!"

Just as the two were passionately colliding.

The director suddenly yelled "Cut!"

Wang Yihan turned her head and asked, "Director, was there anything I did wrong just now? I'll do it again!"

Director Jiang Wei waved his hand, "You acted very well just now, Sun Honglei acted very well, and you acted very well too. You're all good. With such good material, I have to keep this one. Thank you both for your hard work. Let's do it again."

hiss! ~

The onlookers gasped.

When will we hear the word "hard work" from a director?

This is truly something I've never seen before.

You have to understand that this happened while they were filming.

The most common thing I heard from the director was, "Cut! Your emotion isn't right, let's do it again!"

"Cut! The movement wasn't right. Let's do it again!"

"Click! Where are you looking? Try again!"

......

Countless repeated phrases, like a demonic chant echoing in the ears.

These days have been constantly on their minds.

Hearing the director say "thank you for your hard work" out of the blue today was really...

Unbelievable!

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Sun. Let's do it again," Wang Yihan said with a smile.

Sun Honglei waved his hand, "Why call me teacher? It's too formal. Although I graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, you can call me senior, just like you call Zu Feng."

"Then I'll take advantage of you and call you Senior Hong Lei." Wang Yihan seized the opportunity.

In the entertainment industry, the best strategy is to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.
