Qianzhou

Chen Jing is a director who attaches great importance to whether the actors fit the script, so after meeting He Yan, she decided to change the script of the first issue.What was supposed to be a story about a couple's midlife crisis was replaced by a story about the end of a world champion's career.

He Yan has a strong figure, strong muscles, and a sunny temperament. Although he is 1.8 meters tall and looks too tall for the camera, his flaws are not hidden, and he is already in line with Chen Jing's ideal image of an athlete.

The characteristic of Chen Jing's storytelling is that she does not preach or try to change, she just records with a calm lens.Everything is left to the audience to perceive.

This shooting method gave He Yan a lot of room to play, but it was also a kind of pressure. His only experience was not enough to support him to show the characters' layers.So after a long time, there was not a single shot that Chen Jing was satisfied with.

Ye Congzhou sat by the side and watched the fun, gloating over Chen Jing's lectures on He Yan and scolding him over and over again.

Although He Yan has a good temper, he takes professional matters more seriously. The director scolded him for acting, but he didn't complain at all.

It was getting dark, Chen Jing asked everyone to go to dinner and start work an hour later.

He Yan took over this drama hastily, and didn't make much preparation in advance, and even if he did, he couldn't withstand Director Chen's impromptu change of the script.

Ye Congzhou did his duty as an assistant, and put the boxed lunch in front of He Yan.He Yan was looking down at the script, but didn't hear anything around him.Ye Congzhou glanced at the script, pulled a plastic stool and sat next to He Yan, and read it for a while.In fact, he just watched for a day. The male protagonist of the script is already at the end of his career, and there are no dramatic ups and downs. Although He Yan's acting skills are far from perfect, but the completion is still so-so, meeting the requirements of ordinary audiences, enough.

Chen Jing hurriedly finished her boxed lunch, sat next to He Yan, and said with a faint smile, "How is it? Do you feel it?"

Chen Jing was strict when she was filming, but she has a very gentle personality when she is off.He Yan has a down-to-earth attitude, and she also hopes to have a good cooperation with He Yan.

He Yan: "The whole script is about Lu Feng's failure. His former halo and honor are gradually disappearing. He has always been in a state of depression. I am trying to find out the difference between these states, but I fail—fight again ——and then fail, this kind of repetitive story makes it difficult for me to interpret differently.”

Chen Jing: "This script was originally the last story of "People Come and Go". I just filmed it ahead of time when I saw you today. Do you think that if a script just keeps telling failures, then what's the point of this script?"

He Yan tried: "You want to convey a feeling through the script."

Chen Jing smiled and nodded, motioning for him to continue talking.

"You want the audience to see the sadness and struggle of a hero when the curtain ends, and you hope the audience will be tolerant."

Chen Jing sighed, and said with satisfaction: "You are right. The prototype of this story is my cousin. This year is the Olympic year, and the public pays more attention to sports. If this story is to have an effect, it is the best time to shoot it this year. I I don't want to forcefully convey values ​​through lines or dramatic conflict. So if your performance can't touch people's hearts, it will not achieve my purpose."

After Chen Jing finished speaking, she got up and patted He Yan on the shoulder, "Let's eat first, it's normal to not find the right state on the first day, let's work hard together."

Ye Congzhou sat by the side and listened to the conversation between the two. He suddenly remembered himself at the age of 27. At that time, Suo D had already released four albums. When preparing for the fifth album, both he and Yi Ran were a little bit out of inspiration. It's Yi Ran, wishing to drink wine as water every day.

Ye Congzhou took the script over and flipped through it again, and casually said, "What do you think is the most painful thing for Lu Feng?"

He Yan: "I can't win the championship."

"I don't think so. When he was in his prime, he didn't win every game, but he won't suffer as much as he does now." Ye Congzhou shook his head slightly. Trust, the gradual strength of the opponent, these things will bring him negative emotions. But for a person who has reached the top, the most difficult thing for him to accept, I think it should be that he can no longer beat himself. "

Just like Suo D, although things such as not being popular and having fewer fans will make them feel disappointed, what hits them the hardest is that they can no longer make music that satisfies them.The inspiration that once poured out, the music that can be composed by speaking, but after two months of hard work, I couldn't write a few words.

The same is true for Lu Feng in the story. He used to be able to defeat his opponent as long as he worked hard.But later, even if he put in ten times more effort, he couldn't return to his best state, so he put in twenty times more effort, but what he faced was more failures.The simplest and most pious belief for athletes is to be rewarded for their efforts, but it has to collapse a little bit.So in the later stages of his career, Lu Feng's only enemy is himself. As long as he doesn't reconcile with himself, he will not be happy.And this kind of unhappiness is very likely to run through the rest of his life.

As soon as Ye Congzhou said these words, He Yan suddenly realized what he was missing just now.Lu Feng in the script always trains silently, plays silently, and faces the media calmly. Day after day, nothing changes.Therefore, He Yan's performance is in a very calm state, unable to express the ups and downs with the help of story conflicts.But at this time, he realized that Lu Feng's pain was different. The bad news from the outside world would be uncomfortable at first, but then he would become numb; He experienced bitterness; especially during daily training, he was not calm and calm, on the contrary, his pain was constantly adding up, losing once, adding up again.

The night scene is about to start shooting. In this scene, Lu Feng's father is sick and he goes home to visit.After He Yan finished eating a few mouthfuls, he ran to wait outside the studio.Ye Congzhou also walked over and glanced around the set up interior scene. In a small bedroom, the actor playing the father was already sitting by the head of the bed, whispering his lines.

Ye Congzhou turned his head slightly, and saw a bottle of jasmine placed by the bed.He quickly ran in, took out the vase, and went to the drama manager to explain to him: "He Yan is allergic to jasmine, he has to sit by the bed for a long time in this scene, if he is allergic, it will affect tomorrow's progress."

Ye Congzhou's voice was not loud, but He Yan could hear it clearly.He was allergic to jasmine, and in his impression, no one knew about it except his parents.

Ye Congzhou walked back to He Yan with the vase, and met He Yan's inquisitive gaze head-on, "What are you doing?"

He Yan smiled, "How do you know I'm allergic?"

……

Ye Congzhou suddenly felt a toothache, not to mention his allergies, he knew where He Yan was sensitive!

"... Listen to what He Zhiqiu said."

He Yan thought for a while, did he tell fourth uncle too?How could he not remember.

In tonight's scene, He Yan's condition was much better than during the day, and he passed it after only repeating it twice.As soon as the director called to call it a day, Ye Congzhou immediately ran to He Yan and asked him for leave.

"I'm going to the city tomorrow morning, and I'm going back to the set in the afternoon, so I'll take half a day off, okay?"

He Yan doesn't really need someone to wait on when he's filming, so he has no objection to this, but is just curious: "Is there something urgent?"

Ye Congzhou: "Yi Ran will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, I'll go see him."

He Yan: "Are you good friends?"

Ye Congzhou: "... I can't call it that, but I really like listening to him sing."

In fact, Ye Congzhou still has one thing to do when he returns to the urban area. Lao Guan, one of his father’s creditors, will come to Fengcheng tomorrow to handle errands. He has already euphemistically mentioned the matter of repaying the money to him a few days ago. , In his subconscious mind, he no longer has the sense of urgency to owe money to others. Now that he is being asked for a debt, he can't make up much money for a while, so he can only treat Lao Guan to dinner first.The house price in Ningyang is cheap, and the house at home can sell for up to 20 yuan. Last time he went home, he listed the house with an intermediary and found a buyer very quickly, but there are still procedures to go through, so he has to ask Laoguan please give me some time.

Of course, there is no need to tell He Yan about this matter, and with He Yan's personality, it is estimated that he will pay off the debt for him.He was short on manpower, and he didn't want to owe He Yan any favors.So many stories happened slowly when you owed me a little money and I owed you a favor. The previous lessons were too profound.

When the two returned to the hotel, Ye Congzhou just came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, when he heard the knock on the door, he opened the door while wiping his hair.

He Yan was wearing a nightgown, leaning against the wall, with a bunch of car keys hooked on his index finger and stretched out in front of Ye Congzhou, "Take my car tomorrow, it's too remote here, so it's not easy to take a taxi."

"No need." Ye Congzhou's door opened a crack, his head was half-wrapped in a towel, and he closed the door and locked it without looking up.

He Yan: "..."

Seriously, this needs to be changed, He Yan promises to kick the door.

Although He Yan has not been spoiled since he was a child, he has never been angry because of his family background.After signing with Huaxing, although he has never been famous, he has no class concept in his mind.He won't give a good face to people who don't like it, even if they are Uranus superstars.That is to say, he looks a little junior in front of He Zhiqiu.

During this time, Yi Ran often met Ye Congzhou, and the two chatted more times. Yi Ran's original reservedness and conservatism towards fans disappeared. Ye Congzhou didn't act like those blah fans. Treat yourself as a friend.And most of the time, Ye Congzhou's words are very reasonable. Whether it is about music creation or the survival rules of the entertainment industry, he often gives very mature advice. If things go on like this, Yi Ran feels that Ye Congzhou does not worship himself, but rather Taking care of myself.

Originally, he planned to be discharged from the hospital today to gather friends for a party, but when He Zhiqiu heard that he was discharged from the hospital yesterday, he immediately sent Li Zaiye, who is in charge of Huaxing's music manager, to come here, so he only had half a day off today, and he had to go back to the company to practice singing in the afternoon.

Ye Congzhou rushed to the hospital early in the morning, and as soon as Yi Ran got up, he arrived at the door of the ward.

Ye Congzhou: "Is your leg completely healed?"

In her previous life, Yi Ran was in a hurry to get out of the hospital and didn't recuperate properly, which caused her legs to hurt when it was rainy. Later, when it got serious, taking painkillers didn't help.So this time Ye Congzhou secretly stuffed red envelopes to the doctor long ago, asking him to make his illness more serious and let Yi Ran rest for a while.

When Yi Ran heard this, she immediately wanted to do a tap dance.Ye Congzhou quickly held him down, and said with a smile: "I have something to do later, I'm relieved to see that you are all well."

Yi Ran: "I wanted to invite you to dinner, but I didn't have time. Next time, anyway, you are also in Huaxing, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Ye Congzhou: "Well, I just want to remind you that Huaxing's focus is not on music, so many processes are not standardized. You can't hope that Li Zaiye will arrange everything for you. You have the habit of composing at any time. In the future, no matter what song you write , all drafts must be kept in time, and it is best to mark the date. Don’t throw away after writing.”

Yi Ran was puzzled: "How did you think of this?"

Ye Congzhou smiled: "Is what I said unreasonable?"

Yi Ran: "That's not true, it's just that I have never paid attention to such details."

That's why you're being used, and that's why all your hard work is being stolen.Ye Congzhou looked at Yi Ran and said solemnly: "Don't you admire Teacher Huang Heng the most? If you can keep this habit, I think he will definitely agree with you when you see him."

Yi Ran had previously wondered why Ye Congzhou knew so much about the entertainment industry. Ye Congzhou's answer was that a classmate in college was the son of the owner of an entertainment company, and he had seen a lot of things with his classmates.Especially in terms of music, from well-known composers and lyricists, powerful record companies, down to singers who have yet to make their mark, Ye Congzhou can understand everyone clearly.

It is impossible to reach this step just by learning from classmates.But Yi Ran was measured, knowing that Ye Congzhou didn't want to be investigated by him, so he didn't ask too much.In the past, Ye Congzhou used to give advice in a peaceful way in front of him, but it was the first time that he gave such a serious advice like today.

This kind of Ye Congzhou gave Yi Ran an inexplicable sense of trust, and he replied seriously: "Yes, then I won't just throw away my notebooks in the future."

Ye Congzhou: "There is still time! Mark the time. Teacher Huang Heng pays special attention to this."

Yi Ran smiled: "When I debut, I have to ask you to be my manager."

Ye Congzhou: "Then I'll wait for your debut."
