Chapter 575: Acceptance
Lu Yan He hit a straight ball.
To tell the truth, at this moment, Lu Yan He was actually surprised and also a bit incredible.
Indeed, for "Tropical Rainy Season", his joining is a rare thing.
Not to say that Huang Tianlin, as the director of "Tropical Rainy Season", needs to welcome Lu Yan He with open arms, but it shouldn't be so picky.
Such an attitude, especially the first meeting, Lu Yan He inevitably thought more.
For many directors—especially art film directors, they may not necessarily welcome big-name actors.
The reason is also very simple, because the addition of big-name actors will affect their control over this movie as a director.
Lu Yan He is worried that Huang Tianlin is because of such reasons that he has such an attitude towards him.
If this is the case, Lu Yan He feels that twisted melons are not sweet, and there is no need to force them together.
"Tropical Rainy Season" is just a good play for him, a role type he has never acted before, challenging, with performance space, but not good enough to make him put down his posture and act in this play regardless of everything.
Indeed, he is not short of this movie to act.
Therefore, Lu Yan He doesn't want to guess, and doesn't want to communicate with Huang Tianlin through intermediaries later, so he just asks clearly in person.
Huang Tianlin looked at Lu Yan He in surprise, and didn't expect that Lu Yan He would ask him directly like this.
The scene was a bit awkward for a moment.
After a while, Huang: "I hope this movie can be filmed according to my ideas."
Sure enough.
Lu Yan He suddenly realized and let out a sigh of relief.
It's easy to handle if you know where the problem and crux are.
"Of course, you are the director of this movie." Lu Yan He said, "However, I am an actor, and I definitely have my own understanding of the role. I hope you don't regard my different understanding of the role as a challenge to your director's authority."
"What if there is always a divergence between my opinion and yours in the end, and we cannot reach a consensus?" Huang Tianlin asked.
Lu Yan He: "Unless it involves principled things, if I cannot convince you in the end, I will act a version according to what you want. Finally, you choose which version to use."
"Can you do what you say?"
"Of course." Lu Yan He nodded, "When filming in the past, the grinding between me and the director is always before the start of filming. I am an actor who really needs the director to discuss clearly how to act this role. Of course, there are also directors who like to let me give a few versions on the film set, which are all OK. I am not the kind of actor who is stubborn and must act according to my own understanding, but I am not the kind of actor who acts whatever the director says. If you just want a puppet actor, I am definitely not this type."
Huang Tianlin: "When I filmed the last drama, because I couldn't reach a consensus with the male lead, I almost couldn't finish filming the drama. He left the crew directly, which made me have to modify the script in the end to finish filming the movie. Frankly speaking, you are Lu Yan He. If such a situation happens again, I have no way to stop you."
"I am a responsible actor. If I decide to participate in the filming of a movie, except for principled problems, otherwise, I will not give up halfway, and I will not leave the crew just because of disagreement." Lu Yan He said to Huang, "I am no longer a newcomer actor, Director. My attitude towards acting and my attitude towards directors have been tested by more than ten dramas."
Huang Tianlin was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Director, since your script can move me, your script will definitely move other so-called big-name actors. The things that happened in the past make you have a shadow in your heart about big-name actors and dare not cooperate easily. You can't always not cooperate with big-name actors. I don't know what I should say to make you let go of the guard and mustard in your heart—I will not promise that I will definitely not have disputes with you, nor will I promise that there will definitely be no divergence between us, but I will definitely discuss with you on the basis of facts. In fact, convincing me is your duty as a director, and convincing you is also my duty as an actor. As long as the starting point of both of us is to make this drama better, I think we can definitely reach a consensus."
The words Lu Yan He said made Huang Tianlin's face soften a lot.
Actors are not immutable, and actors also have growth.
When acting at the beginning, it must be mainly listening to the director, but as acting more and more, with a deeper understanding of the script and performance, one will have one's own ideas.
Although it is said that in the crew, the person responsible for a drama is the director, and the director is the helmsman—however, when actors have a certain right to speak, in order to protect their roles, or to realize their ideas, it is easy to have conflicts with the director. Such situations are common.
A young director like Huang Tianlin who has only filmed one movie is actually in a most difficult period.
He has already filmed a movie, is not a new director, and has the directing experience of one film, which gives him a certain confidence.
However, he does not have enough knowledge and experience to give him enough self-confidence and confidence to face big-name actors like Lu Yan He, so he is inevitably inferior, or even panicked and uneasy.
It is precisely because Lu Yan He knows this that he did not choose "forget it" at the first time, but chose to speak clearly openly.
In short, he hopes that many cooperations will not go to nothing because of some emotional internal friction between each other.
Lu Yan He also knows that his current situation is relatively awkward.
Young, big-name, and capable, this is indeed the reason why many people rush to cooperate with him, and it is also the reason why some people are wary of cooperating with him.
Especially directors like Huang Tianlin who shoot art films.
The film he chose was not aimed at the box office from the beginning.
After Lu Yan He made things clear with Huang Tianlin, he ended this meeting at another door of the ecological park.
He was a bit tired from walking, looked up, and saw a coffee shop in front.
Lu Yan He said to Zou Dong: "Brother Dong, let's go there and sit for a while."
Zou Dong nodded.
Entering the coffee shop, Zou Dong went to order two cups of coffee and brought them over.
Lu Yan He was looking at his phone, chatting with people.
"Thank you, Brother Dong." Lu Yan He picked up the coffee Zou Dong put in front of him and took a sip, "Hmm? The taste is a bit special."
Zou Dong heard this, picked it up and took a sip.
"I didn't taste anything special. Coffee feels like the same taste." Zou Dong smiled.
Lu Yan He is a heavy coffee lover, drinks a lot, so he can tell the difference in taste and taste, while Zou Dong usually drinks more tea.
"Did you try the tea leaves they sent me?" Lu Yan He asked.
The film festival officially sent him several local special gifts. Because Lu Yan He doesn't drink tea, the tea leaves were immediately given to Zou Dong. The only one around him who drinks tea is Zou Dong.
Zou Dong shook his head and said: "Not yet."
"I feel that the tea leaves in Southeast Asia have a taste of spices. I guess you are not used to drinking them." Lu Yan He said.
The taste of those tea leaves is a different fragrance from the clear fragrance of Chinese tea leaves.
The two of them sat in the coffee shop chatting and resting.
Suddenly, at this time, Lu Yan He's phone buzzed. "Hmm?"
It was Li Zhibai who sent a message in the three-person group.
Li Zhibai was complaining that he had a dispute with Liu Manbo on the film set today.
Lu Yan He was a bit surprised and immediately dialed the group voice call.
"What's going on?" As soon as Li Zhibai entered, Lu Yan He asked immediately.
Li Zhibai explained simply.
"The effect he wants, I can't act it out. It's not a technical difficulty I can handle at all, but he insisted that I act like that." Li Zhibai was very speechless, saying, "I filmed that scene all afternoon, and it wasn't successfully filmed in the end."
Lu Yan He hesitated and said: "How could this be? Did it delay the progress of normal filming?"
"That's not the case. A few more NGs for one or two scenes didn't affect the overall progress, and this scene is indeed quite important. I'm just very annoyed. I felt I couldn't act it out from the beginning and told him, but he insisted that I try. It's not that I didn't try. I tried more than ten times and couldn't try it out. Then shouldn't I give up and change a way of acting?"
Li Zhibai was a bit angry.
"Everyone in the whole crew watched me NG again and again, like watching a joke."
Lu Yan He immediately reacted. Li Zhibai is thin-skinned and feels that he has lost face.
"What's wrong with this? Isn't it normal for actors to NG when acting? And you are acting in something you are not good at." Lu Yan He said, "Don't rely too much on talent. It's not easy to meet a director who lets you NG more than ten times. In the past, when acting, I guess no matter how you acted, the director praised it, right?"
Li Zhibai: "Of course, I do have some talent in acting."
Lu Yan He: "... Although it is said that actors should have confidence, don't be too blindly confident."
Li Zhibai: "Just kidding, I tell you, I just didn't act in art films. If I act in an art film, I will win an award directly and scare you."
"Okay, okay, okay." Lu Yan He laughed, "You communicate with Liu Manbo well. Are you unwilling to cooperate with him to challenge yourself, or do you feel that there are too many NGs and you feel ashamed in front of so many people? Say it clearly and let him think of a way for you."
"I still go to talk to him about this? Forget it, do I still want my face?" Li Zhibai immediately refused.
Lu Yan He: "Then what do you do? Continue NG later?"
"NG, who is afraid of whom." Li Zhibai said, "Anyway, I have tried my best. He found such a high-difficulty acting method for me, and I can't act it out. That is his problem. He is deliberately making things difficult for people."
"You really don't have any internal friction."
"Internal friction? How could this word appear on me." Li Zhibai said.
Lu Yan He heard him say this and knew that his emotions had come out.
It seems that the emotion of Li Zhibai's complaint just now has passed.
At this time, Yan Liang joined the voice call late.
"What's going on? Aren't you and Liu Manbo quite good?" Yan Liang asked as soon as he entered.
Li Zhibai: "Your speed is slow enough."
Zou Dong suddenly gave him a gesture behind Lu Yan He's phone at this time.
Lu Yan He looked back and found that Huang Tianlin, who had already left, didn't know when he came back.
He was standing outside the coffee shop, preparing to come in.
Lu Yan He hurriedly said to Li Zhibai and Yan Liang: "I have something else here, I'll withdraw first, you guys talk."
He exited the voice call and looked back.
Huang Tianlin pushed the door open, walked in from outside the door, and went straight to Lu Yan He.
"Yan He, I seriously thought about what you said just now, and I think I have to apologize to you." Huang Tianlin's expression was very serious, saying: "I shouldn't be full of guard against you because of what happened in the first play."
Lu Yan He stood up in surprise and looked at Huang Tianlin.
"Director, why are you so sudden?" He was a bit bewildered.
Huang Tianlin: "I'm afraid that because of my irrational behavior just now, I will miss the opportunity to cooperate with you."
Lu Yan He was even more confused.
Huang Tianlin's approach really made Lu Yan He not think clearly, how did Huang Tianlin think?
Why is it so back and forth?
"Are you still willing to film 'Tropical Rainy Season'?"
Lu Yan He said: "I am of course still willing to cooperate with you on this movie."
Huang Tianlin let out a sigh of relief, saying: "I will seriously think about your opinion when I go back later."
Lu Yan He said: "Don't force it. I said, I just have my interpretation of the role based on my identity as an actor, but you are the director. If you finally decide that the movie must be filmed like that, I will cooperate with you as much as possible."
Huang Tianlin was surprised, and at the same time, there was a bit of unbelievable surprise in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect Lu Yan He to say this to him at this time.
"I am really very sorry for what I said before." Huang.
Lu Yan He shook his head and smiled, "Let's see you on the film set later, Director."
Huang Tianlin smiled, nodded, and let out a sigh of relief.
After Huang Tianlin left, Lu Yan He sat down again.
Zou Dong looked at him very suspiciously and asked: "Yan He, why are you still so readily saying that you will continue to film this movie? His attitude today is very strange. At first, he had that attitude towards you."
Lu Yan He pondered for a moment and said: "Although I also feel strange, but speaking of it, it is actually a feeling. I have never felt that he has malice towards me. So, he is wary of me, feeling that I will grab his director's authority, actually I can still understand it quite well. Any creator will be wary of this. When I told him my attitude very clearly, he is probably coming back to his senses now, feeling that I am actually quite suitable for cooperation?"
Zou Dong: "I just think his previous behavior was too impolite. Not to mention your status and reputation in the film circle now, even if it is an ordinary actor, his attitude like this is also impolite."
Lu Yan He: "Impolite is a bit impolite, but it is still that sentence, I didn't feel malice, so it's okay. My acceptance is still quite high." ===== CHAPTER 576 =====
