Just when Lin Yuanyu was secretly planning his goals for this year, his cell phone rang.
After taking a look at the caller ID, he answered the call directly and put the phone to his ear.
"Hello, Brother Bo?"
"Call me at this time. Is there anything you can do?"
It was almost past twelve o'clock now. Huang Bo called him at this time, and he didn't know if there was anything serious.
"Lin Yuan, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"
Huang Bo did not directly answer Lin Yuan's question. It was obvious that he was not looking for anything important at this time.
The reason why I called now is because Huang Bo has been busy preparing for the filming of the movie "A Good Show" during the day these days, and he only has free time at this time in the evening.
Lin Yuanyan didn't think it was an important matter, so he said in a normal tone: "No, the crew has a half-day holiday tomorrow, how can they go to bed so early."
After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Huang Bo also asked curiously: "Are you filming?"
Preparations for "A Good Show" are already in progress. If things go well, it will be officially launched in more than 20 days. If not, it will only take a month and a half. If Lin Yuan is filming with the team at this time, there will inevitably be trouble.
The situation of the play.
We are all brothers. Of course he doesn't mind waiting for Lin Yuan for a while, but he is afraid that Lin Yuan will not want to delay the progress of the crew and run back and forth. If the other party runs back and forth, it will easily affect the actors.
status.
"Yes, "The Ex 3" directed by Tian Yusheng."
Lin Yuan answered first, and then guessed what the other party meant. Then he changed the subject and added: "But don't worry, Brother Bo, Director Tian and I have agreed to finish filming my scenes first.
If there's anything that needs to be fixed, I'll come over and make it up again."
Fortunately, "The Ex 3" was mostly filmed in Chengdu. If a movie like "Kung Fu Yoga" had to be filmed in various places, even if director Tian Yusheng wanted to finish shooting Lin Yuan's scenes first, the only choice would be
A kind of extravagant wish.
Seeing Lin Yuan say this, Huang Bo felt moved in his heart.
Obviously, before he invited Lin Yuan to star in "A Good Show", he had already accepted the movie "Exes 3".
Whether Lin Yuan refused to star in "A Good Show" or whether he chose to finish filming "The Ex 3" first and later join the crew to film "A Good Show", Huang Bo could not say anything.
However, what he didn't expect was that Lin Yuan directly communicated with director Tian Yusheng in advance to finish filming his part first, so that he could finish filming as soon as possible, and then devote himself to the filming of the movie "A Good Show". In this regard,
Lin Yuan made this choice, Huang Bo would be lying if he said he wasn't moved.
Therefore, Huang Bo didn't say any polite words and just kept this feeling in his heart.
Immediately, he stopped talking about this topic and told Lin Yuan the reason for calling him: "Lin Yuan, Director Wu just called me and asked for our opinions. Which time should we choose to watch the movie?"
Will it be released during the National Day period or during the Spring Festival period?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel slightly startled.
I just saw this related topic on Weibo, and within a few minutes, Huang Bo called and talked about it.
Big data is so scary...
Having said that, there are so many movies in the movie market now, and I don’t know how many movies are trying to squeeze out their heads and want to be released during the National Day and Spring Festival. However, there are only so many movies released during these two schedules. If there is no distributor behind the movie,
If there is no relationship, there is no way you can even think about being able to get into the prime time slot for a daughter at this moment.
But "The Secret of the Dragon" is a good movie. Other movies may not be able to get a slot despite being squeezed, so it was chosen at will.
However, Lin Yuan suddenly felt relieved when he thought that the publishers of The Secret of the Dragon were Wanda Pictures, Huayi Brothers, and Enlight Media, the three major domestic entertainment companies.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan gave his own suggestion: "Brother Bo, I think it would be better to release it during the National Day period."
"Oh? You think so too?"
Huang Bo was a little overjoyed. His suggestion to Director Wu was to release it during the National Day. However, judging from Director Wu's hesitant words, the crew may still hope to release it during the Spring Festival.
Lin Yuan smiled and joked: "Brother Bo, in fact, when Director Wu came to ask for our opinions, we can already see how fierce the competition in the film market is this year. Otherwise, in the past, this was all the distributors worried about.
How can you ask our actors what they think?"
"That's right!"
Regarding Lin Yuan's answer, Huang Bo knew very well. He had made so many movies, but had he ever asked for his opinion as the leading actor before a movie was released? Not at all!
Once the release date is set, an announcement will be sent to the leading actors, and then the film will be promoted with roadshows.
Now I came here specifically to ask for their suggestions. It’s just that the competition in the movie market has become fierce, and even the distributors are not sure when the movie will be released in which time to maximize profits.
The movie market during the Spring Festival has a high consumption power, but the competition is also the most intense. In comparison, the market during the National Day period is slightly weaker, but the competition is obviously much less intense than during the Spring Festival.
Lin Yuan continued his analysis: "Besides, our movie is not a family movie. It is not easy to make a comedy movie during the Spring Festival."
Hearing this, Huang Bo interrupted Lin Yuan's words and joked: "You mean, the movie we made is not as good as "Mermaid" starring you, right?"
Lin Yuan laughed and quickly explained: "How can it be possible? People's audiences only focus on Master Xing's golden sign. I don't have that strength now."
"Modest, right? But your analysis is quite right. I have to talk to the director to see if it can be released during the National Day, so let's stop talking here first. Remember to give me a call when your film is finished.
Say something."
"OK!"
Just after Lin Yuan responded, Huang Bo also hurriedly hung up the phone.
Whether "The Secret of the Dragon" is released on the National Day or Spring Festival schedule actually has no direct interest in them. Anyway, they have already received the salary. It is just that the box office of the two releases is different.
The reason why Huang Bo thought "Searching for the Dragon" would be released on National Day.
First, considering that the competition during the Spring Festival period is too fierce, the final box office is likely to be not as good as the National Day period, which will also have some impact on their competition for tens of billions of box office.
Secondly, if the movie is released during the National Day period, as expected, it will be the same time when they are filming the movie "A Good Show". They can just take this opportunity to promote the movie "A Good Show". Huang Bo, Lin
The three leading actors, Yuan, Shu and Qi, work together again. They don’t even need any hype. The Internet popularity can be directly attracted. Saving tens of millions of publicity expenses is definitely not a problem!
After finishing the phone call with Huang Bo, Lin Yuan put the phone aside and fell asleep peacefully.
...
At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the crew started work on time.
This afternoon is a play for three actresses, Song Zuer, Yu Wenwen and Zeng Mengxuan.
Originally, Lin Yuan planned to go to the set to see how Song Zuer's acting skills were, but before he could leave the hotel, Han Geng pulled him back to the room.
Lin Yuan looked at Han Geng's rather mysterious look and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Geng, what are you doing and making it so mysterious?"
"Do you still remember the sisters that Director Tian told us about?" Han Geng showed a wicked smile and gave Lin Yuan a look that everyone understood.
Hearing what Han Geng said, Lin Yuan suddenly recalled it.
Director Tian indeed said that he had arranged a scene for the two of them as twin sisters. At that time, Han Geng looked around for a long time at the banquet, but unfortunately he could not find the twins.
Now combined with Han Geng's expression, Lin Yuan suddenly realized.
"Brother Geng, you mean the sisters have arrived on the set? Let's shoot this scene tonight?"
"Of course, I heard this from the makeup artist." Han Geng said, bumping Lin Yuan's shoulder with his elbow, and asked in a low voice: "How are you, are you interested?"
Lin Yuan was not surprised at all by Han Geng's idea.
When he was filming "Predecessor 1", Han Geng could be said to be his guide, which allowed him to understand how chaotic the domestic entertainment industry was.
In front of Lin Yuan, Han Geng didn't need to pretend to be serious. After learning that he would be filming a scene involving twin sisters tonight, he came directly to Lin Yuan to discuss it.
Han Geng looked at Lin Yuan's expression and asked again: "How is it?"
If it were anyone else, Lin Yuan might not be interested.
But these are twin sisters. If I hesitate at all, it would be disrespectful to others.
Lin Yuan shrugged and replied: "Of course I have no problem."
Seeing that Lin Yuan agreed, Han Geng did not forget to remind him: "But he is a third- and fourth-tier actor, so be careful not to get caught by him."
"Don't worry, if she takes advantage of me, can't I use it to stop her mouth?"
As Lin Yuan finished speaking, the two of them showed a tacit smile on their faces.
...
It was night in a blink of an eye.
Lin Yuan and Han Geng arrived at the filming set in the crew's nanny car.
After seeing the two leading actors arriving, director Tian Yusheng also said hello and motioned for them to come over.
He didn't want to tell the two of them about the scene, but he wanted to tell them what they should pay attention to when filming later.
As soon as he got closer, Han Geng put his arm around Tian Yusheng's shoulders and asked in a low voice: "Director Tian, where are the twin actresses?"
"She's putting on makeup."
Director Tian Yusheng said without blushing or heartbeat: "You two just sit down according to the script. Later, the twin sisters will come over together, and your reactions will be the most realistic. But there is one thing.
If I don’t call out later, the show won’t stop.”
"no problem!"
Although they were a little puzzled by Director Tian Yusheng's words, the two of them agreed directly.
Isn't that what filming is like? If the director doesn't call for a break, the actors can only bite the bullet and continue acting.
Director Tian Yusheng nodded and said: "Okay, the two actresses should be done with their makeup soon. You two go to the camera and get ready first."
The extras also entered the scene one after another and sat down near the camera.
After adjusting his condition, Lin Yuan gestured to director Tian Yusheng, indicating that filming could begin now.
"Attention all departments, three, two, one, turn on the phone!"
As Director Tian Yusheng's voice came through the intercom, various departments of the crew began to work in an orderly manner.
in the monitor screen.
Han Geng looked around, and after making sure that no tourists around him noticed them, he asked Lin Yuan: "The twins will come soon, how do we separate them?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan showed a reactionary expression: "Hey, that's right, let's talk it over first, then don't mess up." After a pause, he continued: "Since we are twins, there is no difference in appearance, how can we talk?
Talking about personality, I heard that my elder sister is lively and my younger sister is gentle."
Han Geng thought for a while and said: "Lin Jia is usually too cold. I want someone lively, and I choose my sister!"
Lin Yuan then added: "Ding Dian is usually too noisy. If I want someone gentle, I choose my sister!"
The two hit it off immediately and have clearly defined their respective goals.
Han Geng picked up the water glass and put it to his mouth. He seemed to think of something and put the water glass aside again, looking puzzled: "We will drink too much in a while... What should we do if we get confused?"
"Confusion..."
Lin Yuan's reply stopped abruptly, and the two looked at each other and laughed knowingly.
It seemed that he realized that this was a public place, and he suppressed his smile and pretended to be serious.
Just after the two of them finished speaking their lines.
The photographer in camera No. 2 gave a close-up shot of the twin sister actors walking towards the camera.
Even the surrounding extras looked at them involuntarily.
The two twin sisters walked in neat steps to the empty seats at Lin Yuan and Han Geng's table and sat down respectively.
At this moment, the camera suddenly showed a close-up of the two people's faces.
They are said to be twin sisters, but judging from their appearance, these are two completely unrelated people. The only thing that can make them look like twin sisters is that they have pretty good figures.
But as an actress, if she can't even manage her figure well, she may have no choice but to develop in the direction of comedy movies like Jia Ling.
Lin Yuan finally understood why Director Tian asked the two of them to act according to their most realistic reactions.
Can these also be called twin sisters?
Lin Yuan and Han Geng showed their true feelings. They were speechless for a moment and could only force out an awkward smile.
Three minutes later.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan and Han did not make any mistakes. Although the appearance of these two actresses makes them a little bit of a drama, their basic acting skills are really good. Whether it is lines or facial expressions, they can compare to many popular actresses.
Said it was much stronger.
As Director Tian Yusheng called out, Lin Yuan and Han Geng looked at each other and walked in the direction of Director Tian in perfect agreement.
"Director Tian, are these the twin sisters you are talking about?"
"Is this what you call good looks?"
Director Tian: "..."
After a moment of silence, Director Tian forced out a smile and explained: "Isn't this good-looking guy capable of fighting?"
Lin Yuan had no objection to the appearance of the two actors. On the contrary, if the actor who played the younger sister was a supermodel, he would definitely be very temperamental.
What really made him complain was that Director Tian had deceived the two of them for so long.
Especially Han Geng. He had already prepared a small umbrella tonight, but suddenly he was told that it would not rain tonight.
Isn't this deceiving the feelings of brothers?
Lin Yuan patted Han Geng, who was losing interest, and said for him: "Director Tian, it's okay for you to lie to your brothers, but you can't fool the audience. When the audience hears that there are sisters, then you can show them to them.
This...isn't this deceiving consumers?"
The more the two reacted like this, the more director Tian Yusheng couldn't help but chuckle.
He did contact a pair of twin sisters at first, but they didn't want to come because they had something to do later, so he searched for suitable actors online, and found these two actors with very different images.
In order to give Lin Yuan and Han Geng the most realistic reactions, he not only kept it secret from the two of them, but also deliberately told them how beautiful the twin sisters were, just to create this gap in their expectations.
.
Now it seems that his method is indeed good. The performance of the two people in terms of "scumbag" image is simply natural.
...
After being deceived by Director Tian, the two of them naturally lost interest.
The two of them turned a blind eye to what director Tian Yusheng said about the girls he would arrange for them later, and they listened in one ear and out the other.
Just like this, I just followed the filming in the crew.
For this kind of thing, instead of placing your hopes on others, it is better to finish filming early and take the time to take the initiative yourself.
With this idea in mind, the scenes between Lin Yuan and Han Geng were filmed very quickly.
In one month, most of the scenes for the two leading actors were filmed, but the supporting roles and special actors who should have been completed long ago have not yet had their turn.
But they are also happy to see such a scene.
In the past, when I was working with other crews, I would have to change places after filming was completed, and it would take a lot of time just to find the crew.
Now, with the film crew of "The Ex 3", not only do they have food and drink every day, but they also get a living allowance of 100 yuan a day. They get the money before they even start filming. Who is willing to give up such a good thing?
It's just that such good days obviously won't last long.
After all the scenes shared by Han Geng and Lin Yuan were filmed, Lin Yuan basically only had a few scenes left with Zeng Mengqi.
Although there are no scenes with actors such as Yu Wenwen and Zeng Mengqian these days, they still come to the set every day to observe how Lin Yuan and Han Geng handle their rival scenes, and Lin Yuan's acting skills directly impressed them.
Han Geng's acting skills were not bad when he played the role of "Meng Yun". After all, he had filmed "The Ex 1" before, and he had a certain level of understanding of this role. In their opinion, Han Geng's performance was at best
A good sentence.
Lin Yuan, on the other hand, not only appears to be able to change his lines and expressions with ease, but he can also sometimes add scenes on his own outside the framework of the script.
If anyone else adds scenes without permission, director Tian Yusheng will definitely give him a scolding.
But Lin Yuan is different. The scenes he adds are not abrupt. Sometimes he just adds one or two driving scenes in the appropriate plot, which not only adds laughter to the entire plot, but also makes Lin Yuan's "Yu Fei"
The character image has become more fleshed out.
Even Zeng Mengqian's acting skills improved a lot while filming opposite Lin Yuan.
Under such circumstances, the filming process of the movie quickly got on track.
And time passed by in a flash. One and a half months.
In the blink of an eye, it was Lin Yuan's final day.
Originally, Lin Yuan could have finished filming all his scenes as early as ten days ago.
But in the evening, Song Guo'er came to Lin Yuan every now and then to have in-depth exchanges and learn how to film. Those who know how to film are teachers, and Lin Yuan spared no effort and taught him everything he could, resulting in him missing several morning scenes.
Director Tian Yusheng just thought that Lin Yuan was tired after so many days of continuous filming, and did not send anyone to call him.
As time went on, it was extended to now.
On the night when Lin Yuan finished filming his last scene, the crew even held a closing banquet for Lin Yuan.
After the wrapping banquet, Lin Yuan first told Huang Bo about the wrapping up of his part, and also asked his assistant to buy a ticket to return to Shanghai tomorrow.
I have been filming for more than a month. I need to take a good rest these two days to regain my energy and then see how Huang Bo arranges it for the time being.
