Millennium director

"Okay, let's all take a rest. It's time to eat!"

The director's voice was like the sound of nature, and both the crew and the extras breathed a sigh of relief.

Filming in the summer, especially in this steamer called Hengdian, is really a kind of torture.

But in the blink of an eye, the crew and extras gathered in the Qin Palace Square dispersed in a hurry, all running to get their lunch boxes, and then each went to find a shaded corner to escape the heat.

The same goes for the contestants of "Actors Please Take Your Place."

But only one morning has passed, and their mentality has changed from full of confidence and vitality at the beginning, to now they are hopeless and depressed, and they have even been so hot that they have lost the ability to think, and each one of them has a numb look on his face. He was sitting in the shade in a corner of the palace wall in a daze.

Liu Yifei, who was responsible for leading them, searched for a long time before finding Li Xian, Liu Xueyi, and Qiao Xin huddled in a corner under the guidance of the program staff.

"What's wrong? Why are they all like this?"

Liu Yifei came over and squatted in front of them, comforting and said, "Are you too tired?"

When Liu Yifei said this, Qiao Xin immediately burst into tears. She said with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Liu, being an extra is really hard. I have always been number one since I was a child. I have never eaten like this." It’s so hard for me.”

"What's wrong? Why are you suffering?"

Qiao Xin pointed to the Warring States-style cloth shoes on her feet aggrievedly, and said with a choked voice: "I have already changed two pairs of shoes, and they were all damaged by my walking. On a 38-degree day, I wore five layers of clothes and kept wearing them. He walked up and down the corridor of the palace with his plate in hand and couldn't stop. The most pitiful thing is that he didn't have a single line during the filming all morning, and he didn't even show his face!"

Liu Yifei laughed and shook her head: "You are just recording a show. This group performance will only last three days. After three days, it will be the first formal training."

She pointed to the other extras not far from the rest area and said seriously: "As for them, they have to do these things endlessly, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, no matter what the weather is, repeating these things every day."

"And to tell you the truth, walking on the street is already the easiest part of the group work."

Liu Yifei, who was squatting on the ground, had a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

When we were filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon", there were also a large number of street performers.

"When I was filming in the past, I met a lot of difficult group acting teachers."

“The body is covered with mud and rolling around, playing the role of someone who is fleeing and eating dirt, someone who falls into the water, someone who is beaten, someone who goes up to the mountain wearing a thick armor to fight in the hottest time of summer, and someone who is shirtless and someone who eats food in the coldest time of winter, these are all very important to them. It’s all commonplace.”

"In comparison, isn't it much easier for you just walking on the street?"

Of course, what Liu Yifei did not say was that it is easiest to play a dead person. She and Wu Yuan had the same idea on this point, but it was always a bad idea to use playing a dead person as an example, so she did not mention this.

We are afraid of comparison in everything. When Liu Yifei gave such an example, the mood of the young girls and boys improved a lot.

At least what they encountered was not the most difficult group acting job, and it was just to experience life. Those real group actors did work that was harder and more tiring than them. They worked for several years. Thinking about it, what they are doing now It’s nothing.

Seeing that the expressions of the girls and boys had improved a lot, Liu Yifei clapped her hands and stood up and said, "Okay, let's get up. We have been busy all morning. Aren't you all hungry?"

"There is already food in the rest area. Go get a lunch yourself. Today's lunch box food is very good. You can go to the dressing room to eat. There is a place to sit there and take a rest."

After giving instructions to them, Liu Yifei clapped her hands and left. She was also going to eat, but it was not a lunch box given to the actors by the crew, but a meal specially ordered by Wu Yuan from the hotel.

Now Wu Yuan is waiting for her to have lunch together.

Returning to the RV parked in the rest area, Liu Yifei saw Wu Yuan leaning against the window as soon as he got on the car, watching some video on his laptop.

"What are you looking at?"

"The preview of "Young You"."

"The trailer is online?"

With a few quick steps, Liu Yifei leaned on Wu Yuan's shoulder and looked at the computer screen.

"It has been published several times." Wu Yuan explained: "You have been focusing on the recording of "Actors Please Take Your Place" these past few days, so you haven't paid attention to it, right?"

"The company released a pilot version trailer the day before yesterday and the official version today."

"What's the pilot version or the official version?" Liu Yifei frowned, somewhat confused.

"Actually, it's a way of publicity and marketing." Wu Yuan spread his hands and explained: "The pilot version is only 30 seconds, and it only cuts out a few key scenes. For example, when Chen Nian and Xiaobei were beaten, your face turned pale. It’s a close-up of a wound or something like that, it’s very trivial and has no plot.”

"The official version is a short film of just over three minutes, just like most trailers."

"Why do you have to send it in two parts like this?" Liu Yifei was still a little confused.

"Because this way you can become popular on Weibo twice more." Wu Yuan chuckled, "Posting a trailer can become popular on Weibo once. Why not split it up and post it a few more times to increase exposure?"

In the age of light and shadow, this is considered restrained.

Wu Yuan remembers clearly that during the promotion period of the original version of "Young You", five or six versions of the trailer were released.

What kind of advanced trailer, pilot trailer, official trailer, then Xiaobei's version trailer, Chen Nian's version trailer, the final trailer...

By posting a notice, you can buy a hot search and get your face in front of netizens. This is a very cost-effective deal!

Light and Shadow Era is not so shameless yet and has only released two versions of the trailer, but two versions of the trailer are enough.

Because Liu Yifei's image in the trailer is so ground-breaking, it has triggered heated discussions across the Internet!

Wu Yuan pointed to the comment section of the trailer posted by the official Weibo account of "Young You" and said with a smile.

"Look, netizens are shocked."

Liu Yifei curiously stepped forward to take a look.

"Ahhhhhhh!!! Is this still our fairy sister?!"

"The pot lid can't hide the beauty of our fairy sister, but the fairy sister with her face covered in blood looks so distressing!"

"I feel so distressed. I don't want to slap someone in the face. How can someone be willing to hit a face as beautiful as Liu Yifei?"

"Zhang Yishan is so handsome, he's crazy! My little brother Liu Xing is a thing of the past, now he is my husband Xiaobei!"

"Sister Fairy actually shaved her head. This is too eye-catching. I really can't accept it!"

"It's good to shave your head, the new hair will be darker!"

Liu Yifei chuckled, pointed to the last comment, and narrowed her eyes: "Haha, I think so too!" (End of Chapter)
