Chapter 74

Boss Lu said modestly: "Everyone is a born actor, it depends on how individuals discover it."

He took the opportunity to encourage the two rookie actors:

"Teacher Feng knows that one of the sentences Grotowski said most often in his teaching career is that everyone can be an actor, and everyone has a rich mineral deposit hidden in them, waiting to be discovered and mined."

Feng Feng Yuanzheng agreed: "Director Lu is right, Zhou Jielun has already done very well as a novice, keep working hard!"

The first day of filming passed in a tense and busy manner. On the morning of the 28th, the actors finished breakfast and rushed to the set. The bulletin board outside the studio posted the shooting plan for the day, which is also called a call sheet in Hollywood crews.

A complete call sheet will generally include the day's shooting plan, order, scenes, involved actors, and even reminders of the day's weather by the logistics.

For those directors who pay great attention to lighting effects, they even calculate the light situation every hour from a professional perspective to assist the shooting process.

The call sheet is the highest behavioral guide for the entire crew for the day. Every action and preparation of the crew members must revolve around it.

Of course, the call sheet is also frequently updated, especially in large crews, where too many unpredictable things happen.

Seeing Lu Kuan stopped in front of the call sheet. According to this shooting process, it can be finished in about 25 days, which is not too fast compared to the original 19-day speed.

The deadline for this year's Venice Film Festival is around the end of July. Adding the post-production time, there is no big problem in submitting the manuscript at the buzzer.

Even if the time has passed, it is not impossible to accommodate. Don't think that only the mainland is a society of human relations. International film festivals can also find famous directors and judges to delay submitting materials.

Coupled with the current Asian selection selector Marco Müller, who is a pro-Chinese filmmaker, has a standard Beiping accent, likes to wear Chinese-style clothes, and the annual Chinese-language films he serves as the film festival chairman and selector have achieved good results.

Today's shooting continues, it is the breakup scene between Liu Liu Yifei and Zhou Zhou Jielun.

Xu Huan, played by Zhou Zhou Jielun, proposes to break up with Yu Yan, played by Liu Liu Yifei, at Starbucks Coffee because he wants to focus on drumming.

The two sit opposite each other, Liu Liu Yifei is immersed in sweetness, completely unaware of what will happen.

"I don't think we should be together anymore."

Liu Liu Yifei's smiling expression stopped abruptly.

"Cut!"

Seeing Lu Kuan held the walkie-talkie: "Liu Liu Yifei, your expression changed drastically in just one sentence. Don't you know how to leave space for the performance below?"

"I know, Director."

The little girl stuck out her tongue and secretly cheered herself up.

She knew her acting skills were not good enough, but she had been working hard since Seeing Lu Kuan started teaching her morning exercises and acting, and she had never slacked off.

Just for this supporting role with less than 10 minutes of scenes, she wrote more than 30,000 words of character biography, which is not hard work.

But when the real exam came, she still showed her timidity.

"Get ready, do it again!"

Seeing Lu Kuan behind the monitor shook his head slightly. Her performance was an improvement compared to the immaturity in *Family of Gold*, but it had not yet fully reached the requirements of the big screen.

Since he invested in Red Star Dock, Boss Lu cannot allow her to continue to shape those innocent and cute images in her comfort zone like in later generations.

Whether it is for her own development or Seeing Lu Kuan's plan to make money from Liu Liu Yifei, an artist of Red Star Dock, he must solidly help the little girl improve her acting skills.

"Cut!"

"Cut!"

Liu Liu Yifei's face was a bit ugly. At first, she was incomparably confident. She felt that after so much effort, she should be rewarded.

At least she should be stronger than Zhou Zhou Jielun, who just started acting in movies?

Unexpectedly, Seeing Lu Kuan, who was relaxed and joking with her on weekdays, completely turned into a tyrant on set, unable to tolerate her slightest mistake.

Seeing Lu Kuan stood up directly from the big monitor and didn't even want the walkie-talkie.

He walked to Liu Liu Yifei with a pale face and gave her a storm: "Your expression changed drastically in just one sentence. Do you think your performance is reasonable?"

The little girl instinctively wanted to find an excuse: "I... he proposed to break up, shouldn't I have this expression..."

Seeing Lu Kuan mocked: "Then why don't you just cry out? Do you still remember what the character's action chain is? Do you remember what the progression of emotions is?"

"You have read the script. The male lead has so many lines later. Your face changed like this in the first sentence. Tell me what you are acting later?"

Liu Liu Yifei is a typical spoiler-style emotional substitution.

She has read the script and already knows what the male lead will say later, so she involuntarily displayed all her expressions and psychological states, ignoring the level and progression of the performance.

"I... understand..."

Liu Liu Yifei's aggrieved golden beans were spinning in her eyes. She also knew she was wrong, just couldn't control it for a while, and wanted to prove herself in front of Seeing Lu Kuan.

Actually, she has a strong personality. She remembers all the words Seeing Lu Kuan said jokingly that her acting skills were poor.

Other members of the crew, including Feng Feng Yuanzheng, were silent on the side, watching the usually relaxed and humorous Director Lu output to the actors.

Liu Liu Xiaoli is a dancer. She knows that the crew has the rules of the crew. In this situation, even if Liu Liu Yifei is embarrassed, she will absolutely not interfere.

"Continue, don't eat until you finish filming today!"

Hollywood crews are strictly controlled by the union system, and actors and staff have to pay for overtime. Boss Lu doesn't care about this and directly arranges 996.

The performance continues. The previous lines are a repetition of Zhou Zhou Jielun's lines. This time, Liu Liu Yifei obviously slowed down the rhythm of emotional expression, and her face did not collapse suddenly as before.

Liu Liu Yifei's face also changed with the description and the future of the two people she imagined, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

She didn't know why the two people who were in love a second ago would reach this point.

"You think I can't succeed if I have you? Are you so sure this is a fact?" The girl was making her last retention.

In exchange for an unhesitating affirmation: "Yes."

She picked up her bag and turned to leave. A tear fell from her pretty face just right and was captured by Ning Hao's over-the-shoulder close-up.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Seeing Lu Kuan.

He looked at the playback on the monitor and didn't pick up the walkie-talkie for a long while: "Keep one first."

Seeing Lu Kuan is still not satisfied.

Liu Liu Yifei has just entered the right track, and Zhou Zhou Jielun is a bit of a flop again.

It is indeed very difficult to act with two novice actors, but this is a helpless move.

Fortunately, the eye of this movie is the character of Feng Feng Yuanzheng.

Zhou Zhou Jielun breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Lu Kuan's requirements were too strict. Even if he was scolding Liu Liu Yifei just now, he could feel the huge pressure as a rival actor.

"Liu Yifei, come on!"

The Little Heavenly King had become familiar with her during this time, and he did not hesitate to send his encouragement.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou Jielun."

Two rookies huddled together for warmth.

She swept Seeing Lu Kuan's position with fear, and unexpectedly, Seeing Lu Kuan's voice came from the walkie-talkie again: "Xiao Liu, Zhou Jielun, come over here."
