Chapter 777: Hearts are restless, Lian Baozhi

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Director Chu didn't know that he had entered Qingbei University and was studying directing.

He said: "I can understand more than half, but I can't understand some of your special treatments. I am studying directing at Qingbei."

This time it was Director Chu who was stunned.

"You? Studying directing at Qingbei?"

He looked Gu Cheng up and down, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to be a peer of mine."

Gu Cheng shook his head: "I am just a student. I haven't learned many lens expressions. It is very difficult to become a director."

Chu Chenliang said: "You are an actor and naturally sensitive to lenses. If you have a little talent in directing, then your identity as an actor is enough to help you go further."

He paused, "I said why you came so early today. As soon as you arrived at the crew, you turned around me, staring at the lens from time to time."

"I thought you were going to curry favor with me, and I was just wondering. With your status, there is no need to please me. It turns out you really want to steal the art."

Gu Cheng smiled shyly. Facing a big director, how dare he take any star airs.

Chu Chenliang thought for a while and said: "How far have you learned in school?"

Gu Cheng mentioned it simply.

Chu Chenliang raised his eyebrows and said: "I once participated in the compilation of textbooks on directing majors in a certain university. This part of knowledge is not something that can be learned in the sophomore year."

"Even if those who enter Qingbei are top students, the gap shouldn't be that big."

Gu Cheng said: "Well, I have recently self-studied this knowledge."

"I am worried about starting school in September, but the scenes in the crew haven't been filmed yet, so I previewed a part in advance."

Chu Chenliang nodded: "Since this is the case, if you are not afraid of being tired, you can help with chores by my side when you are free, and I will teach you a little lens processing art by the way."

Gu Cheng's eyes lit up: "Director Chu, do I need to pay apprenticeship fees?"

Director Chu said speechlessly: "You really want to steal the art. If you want to be my disciple, I am not willing to accept you as an apprentice."

"You are an actor in the crew. If I teach you the lens processing method, you can perform better."

"As long as you film seriously for me in the crew, don't make trouble, and complete your tasks every day, that is the best reward for me."

The role Gu Cheng plays is one of the important male supporting roles, but it is different from Seeing Jin Li and Bai Jiang.

This is their first cooperation, so there is a certain difficulty in running-in.

The key is that Gu Cheng's previous play was "Desperate Counterattack", also a special effects film, but special effects films are different from special effects films.

Director Zheng's filming style is worlds apart from his style.

Although Gu Cheng has a lot of experience in filming special effects films.

But in the filming of other literary scenes, Director Chu always feels that he can't keep up with the rhythm.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to grind Gu Cheng out. It just so happened that Gu Cheng sent the reason up.

He can take the opportunity to teach him directing aspects, so that he can get started quickly.

So from this day on, Gu Cheng became Director Chu's follower in the crew besides filming.

Whatever scenes Director Chu filmed, he sat on the side and watched.

He held a notebook in his hand and took notes from time to time.

Gu Cheng kept staring at the lens, and Director Chu was not annoyed. He would even say a few words to him during the filming gap.

Sometimes when they discussed happily, he would pat him on the shoulder, give him a thumbs up, and say he was teachable.

This friendship fell into the eyes of other actors in the crew, and it was a bit incomprehensible.

The crew spread new gossip again.

"I heard that Gu Cheng is very favored by Director Chu. If the male lead hadn't been decided long ago, maybe the second part would change a male lead."

"Gu Cheng and Director Chu have a close personal friendship, and Bai Jiang's status as the male lead is about to be unable to be kept!"

"Have you noticed that Gu Cheng is a supporting actor, but the director has added many scenes that didn't appear in the script for him these days?"

"What kind of big thigh are you still hugging Bai Jiang? You should hug Gu Cheng's thigh. As long as he says a few good words in front of the director, we don't have to worry about our scenes being cut, and maybe we can add a few more scenes."

As soon as these rumors spread, they fell into the ears of Bai Jiang's assistant.

Some people deliberately chewed their tongues in front of the assistant, wanting to see what Bai Jiang's reaction was.

There are many people in the crew, and people's hearts are complex.

Under the restlessness of their hearts, some actors, even if they can't get any good, like to do things that hurt others and don't benefit themselves.

It seems that watching the big-name actors in the crew make a fool of themselves, their dark and jealous thoughts will feel much better.

Even though they know that even if the big-name actors are embarrassed, these small fry cannot replace them, but they are happy to do so.

The assistant immediately told Bai Jiang these rumors and asked worriedly:

"Brother Jiang, is Gu Cheng trying to seize your status as the male lead? I see they are spreading it in a decent way, and Gu Cheng has indeed been staying by Director Chu's side these days."

"Looking at Director Chu's appearance, he is quite good to him."

"Director Chu hasn't had a smile on his face for you actors for days, but when he was filming, Gu Cheng was by his side, and I don't know how many times he smiled at Gu Cheng."

Bai Jiang's thoughts went astray, and he asked curiously: "How do you know Director Chu smiled at Gu Cheng many times? Are you staring at them?"

The assistant felt a little guilty and said in a low voice: "I was hiding in the corner and staring secretly. Many actors looked more openly than me, and Director Chu and Gu Cheng didn't say anything."

"Brother Jiang, aren't you worried that Gu Cheng will curry favor with Director Chu, cut your scenes, and take all the highlights to him?"

Bai Jiang came back to his senses and said calmly: "Don't worry, my character setting is different from his character setting. If Director Chu insists on giving my highlight scenes to Gu Cheng, it will only make the plot collapse faster."

The assistant said anxiously: "That's what you say, but are we just letting Gu Cheng curry favor with Director Chu?"

Bai Jiang didn't answer but asked: "Did you find out what I asked you to find out? What are Director Chu and Gu Cheng discussing?"

The assistant shook his head: "I haven't found out yet. Director Chu is very serious when filming, and other actors dare not go over, fearing being scolded."

"Although they are still followed by the screenwriter, those actors dare not disturb the screenwriter. What if they annoy the screenwriter and write their scenes to death in advance?"

Bai Jiang said thoughtfully: "Just listen to these rumors, don't be hostile to Gu Cheng. We don't even know what they are discussing. It's too early to treat him as an imaginary enemy now."

"Also," he paused and emphasized, "This play is Director Chu's play. He wants to film it however he wants."

"Director Chu is the only one who has the final say in filming. Even if he really wants to add scenes to Gu Cheng, we can't disobey. Think about Xu Ting who filmed the previous one."

"So many of her female lead highlight scenes were given to Seeing Jin Li, but she only dared to curse Seeing Jin Li in secret and didn't dare to go against Director Chu."

The assistant's heart trembled slightly, and he nodded immediately.

After Bai Jiang finished his scenes the next day, he didn't return to the RV immediately, but came to Director Chu's side.

Director Chu glanced at him, thinking he was just here to see his performance in the lens, and didn't say anything.

Gu Cheng felt that Bai Jiang should have a purpose in coming over, but he didn't care.

Bai Jiang stood beside the two for half an hour, and finally understood, his eyelids jumped slightly.

Good guy, Gu Cheng wants to be a director in the future!

Originally thought it was a competitor deliberately currying favor with the director, but found that the goal of the peer is to become the actor's boss!

Bai Jiang returned to the room and went online to investigate Gu Cheng's major at Qingbei, and found it was "directing", and everything was understood.

No wonder Director Chu is willing to take Gu Cheng.

If his apprentice is a top student who understands at once, then he is also willing to take him.

Bai Jiang said a few more words to the assistant, telling him not to provoke Gu Cheng.

He thought for a while and asked the assistant to release the news that Gu Cheng is studying directing and is receiving Director Chu's guidance.

The power of "director" is still very strong.

Even if Gu Cheng is just a "reserve director", it is very strong.

You can think about it with your toes. With Gu Cheng's appeal, his debut work will definitely not lack big names to act, nor will it lack popularity and heat.

If you can curry favor with Gu Cheng in advance and lock in one of the roles in his first work, that would be cool.

As a result, the actors in the crew were already friendly to Gu Cheng, and as these news spread, they became even friendlier to him.

Fortunately, the crew has Director Chu suppressing it. When Gu Cheng and Director Chu are discussing, these actors dare not come over to get close.

Otherwise, wherever Gu Cheng goes in the crew, there will be a few sycophantic actors following, and the atmosphere will be too awkward.

Gu Cheng thought to himself, he is not some innate halo holy body, he really can't stand being praised by people every day.

The crew just started filming, people's hearts are restless, rumors spread a lot, and updates are fast.

But after filming for a month, many people's minds in the crew settled down, and everyone became very down-to-earth.

The filming was officially on the right track. Director Chu saw that their hearts were settled, and only then did he give them special effects scenes.

Special effects segments require non-object performance. If the actor is not in the state, it is very difficult.

At the same time, Lian Baozhi and agent Lv Jieshan discussed many times, and Lian Baozhi still decided that she wanted to go to drama to hone her acting skills.

Lv Jieshan is not optimistic about drama, thinking that she is doing unnecessary work.

"Your development is quite good now. If you feel that your acting skills can't keep up, then sign up for a few more acting training classes, and hire an acting teacher who follows the group when filming to guide your acting skills at any time. Why do you have to participate in drama?"

"Drama is still too high-end for the entertainment industry. Except for your die-hard fans, no one else will pay for it."

"It's not awkward for you to participate in drama, it's awkward if no one buys tickets."

Lv Jieshan makes sense, and Lian Baozhi is not a person who doesn't listen to advice.

But this time, she is a bit stubborn.

"My acting skills have no room for improvement. Even if you hire more teachers to teach me, it's useless. I can't become them."

"Now my acting skills are not as good as Jian Liting's a few years ago. At that time, Jian Liting's acting skills were also excellent, but she couldn't break through for a long time. Everyone thought it was necessary to choose some other types, such as specializing in literary films to make a breakthrough."

"But she hasn't filmed in the past few years, only performing drama."

"And her acting skills are very different from before. Even Seeing Jin Li speaks highly of her performance."

"So going to film drama will definitely hone my acting skills!" Lian Baozhi said seriously.

Lv Jieshan was choked.

Well, that's true.

But she also knows that Jian Liting had no choice, so she plunged into drama.

But Lian Baozhi has a choice. There are many ways to improve acting skills, not just drama.

Lian Baozhi's words continued to come from her ears, "Drama cannot be filmed only once or twice. It needs continuous investment for my acting skills to improve."

"I also have some traffic now, so I shouldn't be unable to sell tickets."

Hearing that Lian Baozhi still wants to deepen in this area, Lv Jieshan immediately said: "No!"

"Your schedule is usually so busy. It's enough to film drama for you every few months. You are still in the rising period of your career and haven't encountered a bottleneck."

"When you really can't advance, come and put your energy into drama. You still need to continue to rush in the entertainment industry, and take more announcements to stand firm."

"If you turn around and attack drama now, it is undoubtedly giving up your seat to others. Think about Li Xunfang."

"Even if she is married, she is still constantly engaged in her career. Your resources overlap so much with hers. Aren't you worried that your retreat will make all the resources cheap for Li Xunfang?"

"It's not good to make it cheap for anyone, are you really willing to make it cheap for Li Xunfang?"

Lian Baozhi immediately said: "Can't make it cheap for her!"

Lv Jieshan: "That's right. Drama can be filmed for you, I didn't say you can't film it. You can film for a period of time, but the monthly announcements can't be left behind."

She said with a serious expression: "But you have to think clearly. Once you take on drama, you will become busier and more tired than before."

"Some time ago, you told me you wanted to rest. Once you take on drama, your rest time may be filled by drama."

Lian Baozhi thought of being beaten by Jian Liting in the crew, and thought of Seeing Jin Li's recommendation, gritted her teeth and said:

"Film! At worst, I won't rest for these two years!"

She set a time of two years for herself.

If she uses her scattered rest time to film drama in these two years, and her acting skills still haven't improved at all, then she will give up.

Lian Baozhi sent a WeChat to Seeing Jin Li.

Seeing Jin Li saw it that night and called Jian Liting.

Jian Liting's side sounded quite noisy. When she spoke, her voice was full of energy, which was a very standard drama opening voice.

Seeing Jin Li said: "I mentioned to you before that because I entered the crew, I couldn't participate in the drama you invited, but I will find a suitable actor for you."

Jian Liting gave an "um", "Yes, have you found this actor?"

As soon as the words fell, she hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if you can't find it. Recently, there is no shortage of actors in the drama group. Many actors heard about me and Director Zheng, and they are busy currying favor with me, wanting to film this drama I am in."

Seeing Jin Li smiled, and hearing the smile in her words, she also felt relieved.

People said it very sincerely, and indeed they were not worried about not having actors to perform her drama.

Seeing Jin Li said: "I found an actor. Her foundation is solid, but she lacks agility. Although she may not be able to take over my scenes, she is also quite good. You can arrange it after you assess her."

Jian Liting asked curiously: "Who?"

Seeing Jin Li: "Lian Baozhi."

Jian Liting was stunned, "It's actually her. I thought this kind of traffic flower wouldn't come to perform drama."

Seeing Jin Li said meaningfully: "Don't underestimate people. She has more perseverance than you think. Stars who can climb up from the bottom are not simple." ===== CHAPTER 778 =====
