Chapter 149: Guarding Against Thieves

In the subsequent filming, Gao Yuanyuan interpreted Xiao Wei's sadness and despair exceptionally well, so much so that the little girl assistants who came to the crew for internships felt as if they were in the same situation, cursing Wang Sheng's heartlessness and indecisiveness in secret.

Director Ning Hao Hao had returned from filming in Hunan Province and caught up with Gao Yuanyuan's outburst scene, which surprised him greatly.

"Old Gu, does Gao Yuanyuan want to win another Best Actress award with a commercial film? This performance is too good, right? Is she acting in a commercial film as if it were an art film?"

Gu Changwei rolled his eyes, how the hell would I know.

"Cao Dao might have felt that Gao Yuanyuan's performance wasn't ideal, and just slightly... um, stimulated her, who knew she would act like this."

Director Ning Hao Hao couldn't help but admire in his heart, Cao Dao is still awesome, just a little stimulation, and Gao Yuanyuan's acting became more and more natural.

"Old Gu, what do you think if I film an art film and invite Gao Yuanyuan to act? Would it increase the probability of winning an award? Would it be easier to get into the European Big Three?"

Director Ning Hao Hao felt that if he could invite Gao Yuanyuan, he could also pull in investment and film an art film he truly wanted to film. With the blessing of a Cannes Best Actress, perhaps he could also win a big award in the European Big Three.

Gu Changwei glared at Director Ning Hao Hao, you brat, you only think of good things, is a Cannes Best Actress someone you, a rookie, can invite?

"Is your story about the broken temple ready?" Gu Changwei asked.

Director Ning Hao Hao was a guy who knew how to handle things and had a good relationship with Gu Changwei. He knew that this guy had been tinkering with a movie since the beginning of the year.

Call it a movie, Gu Changwei felt this was giving Director Ning Hao Hao face, a handheld DV, the whole crew and actors were only eight people, spent 40,000 yuan...

Isn't this just a standard graduation short film configuration?

Director Ning Hao Hao just filmed the short film as a feature film.

"What broken temple story, mine is called *Incense*, I've told you many times, incense, incense, a story about a monk begging for alms to repair the gold body of a Buddha statue."

Director Ning Hao Hao emphasized again, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. He felt he was also very awesome, "tricking" a few people, spending 40,000 yuan, and making a feature film, this was also a skill.

"Isn't this still a story about a broken temple."

Gu Changwei muttered softly and asked: "How do you plan to do it?"

Director Ning Hao Hao scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "I look at Cao Dao's movies, filming casually can win awards in the European Big Three, I thought the European Big Three weren't hard to get into, so I tried..."

Gu Changwei laughed: "And then you were rejected one after another, couldn't even get into the main competition unit, right?"

"Also, not really, there are still some film festivals that can be selected..."

Director Ning Hao Hao's voice got smaller and smaller as he spoke. Those wild film festivals, saying them out loud could only fool people who didn't understand. Everyone was in the industry, so they couldn't be fooled.

In the end, he just laughed it off and said: "My movie has a small cost, it's normal not to get into the main competition unit."

"Then why don't you get into the non-competition unit of the European Big Three?" Gu Changwei said with a smile.

Director Ning Hao Hao knew that this old guy just wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

I also thought about it, if I can't get into the main competition unit, I'll go to the non-competition unit, but... what if I can't even get into the non-competition unit?

"Did you ask Cao Dao?" Gu Changwei asked.

Speaking of this, Director Ning Hao Hao laughed.

"Cao Dao said the movie has already been screened at some film festivals, so don't even think about the main competition unit. He said he could arrange it for me next year, do a screening in the Big Three non-competition unit, and maybe sell it for ten or twenty thousand US dollars."

Damn it!

Gu Changwei looked at the little bastard in front of him, simply envious and jealous. A cost of 40,000 yuan, if it could sell for more than 100,000 US dollars, isn't this return rate amazing?

Why don't I also make a script, film a movie, and then ask Cao Dao for help, can I also covet the Big Three?

Gu Changwei knew that Cao Yang's energy in the European Big Three was very large. If he helped operate it, the probability of winning an award would increase infinitely.

After the large segment of Xiao Wei's outburst plot was filmed, Cao Yang had to sigh that Gao Yuanyuan acted really well. She was like the "real" Xiao Wei, simply acting Xiao Wei's outburst scene to life. Next, he had to film the previous scenes. Gao Yuanyuan was suppressed by Li Xiaoran when filming these scenes before.

Cao Yang was prepared to NG countless times.

However, the situation was once again beyond Cao Yang's expectations. Xiao Wei was like "coming alive," and Gao Yuanyuan's acting really had a feeling of human and play becoming one.

Especially the shots of Xiao Wei calculating Pei Rong, Gao Yuanyuan's performance was simply textbook-level, that look, it was really amazing.

"This acting, acting in a commercial movie, is really a bit of a waste."

Director Ning Hao Hao muttered again beside Gu Changwei.

"Mm, indeed a bit."

Gu Changwei nodded. Since Cao Dao guided Gao Yuanyuan into the play again, Gao Yuanyuan was like a different person. Acting as Xiao Wei, it felt like it was easy and effortless.

Especially when there were scenes between Gao Yuanyuan and Li Xiaoran, the two were like real rivals in love, not like acting, really very real.

This is the acting duel of the best actresses!

Cao Yang felt very gratified, Gao Yuanyuan's sudden outburst made this movie even more exciting.

!

However, Cao Yang discovered through a period of observation that when Gao Yuanyuan was not filming, she also carried a bit of sadness and despair, as if she were still Xiao Wei.

The look she gave him was like Xiao Wei looking at Wang Sheng when she was heartbroken and full of despair.

And without adding an immersion experience, Gao Yuanyuan brought this into the character?

Thinking of what he did some time ago, Cao Yang felt a bit guilty. Gao Yuanyuan was too sensitive, otherwise she wouldn't have entered the play so quickly.

But precisely because she was sensitive, she wouldn't really think that he had hooked up with Li Xiaoran and didn't want her, right?

Uh, he and Li Xiaoran didn't count as hooking up...

Headache, big head.

I just said that two women cannot be put in the same crew at the same time.

So, in the subsequent filming, Cao Yang would always praise Gao Yuanyuan in various ways.

"Not bad, Yuanyuan, the performance is great."

"Yuanyuan, the emotions are in place, that's how it should be acted."

"Yuanyuan, this expression of yours is really amazing."

Of course, while praising Gao Yuanyuan, he didn't forget Li Xiaoran; he didn't want Li Xiaoran to make any more trouble.

"Not bad Xiaoran, the performance is very good."

"Okay, Xiaoran, very good, very good."

"Xiaoran, you're great!"

Slowly, Gao Yuanyuan began to change. When not filming, she had become laughing and talking with the people around her, no longer sad and desperate, and would giggle from time to time.

At the same time, Gao Yuanyuan and Li Xiaoran, as long as they were off the set, would hold hands, looking like very good girlfriends, doing everything together, and even the hotel rooms were changed to be next to each other.

Fearing that the other would leave their sight.

And, as long as one of them talked to Cao Yang, the other would definitely kill over immediately, watching from the side with a smile, guarding against a thief.
