Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 770 Warm, playful and inspiring producer Liu

The scene of unspoken rules is divided into two parts. In the first part, Gulina puts on makeup and pretends to be drunk. She is sent to the room by Wen Zhengrong, who plays the agent. Zhang Songwen, who plays the capitalist Ren Bulun, opens the door. In the camera, he helps the person in in a very calm manner and then closes the door.

The scene ends here, and the audience knows what happens next.

Zhang Songwen in the previous scene behaved well. As the boss, he gently welcomed the newcomers at the table. In this scene, Zhang Songwen was as gentle and polite as ever, but he was doing something bad.

This little reversal will surely make the audience exclaim "beast in human clothing".

How can a villain be so normal? Zhang Songwen's "villain" state is like this, which gives people an unexpected feeling.

"Click."

"Gulina and Teacher Wen are preparing for the next game."

It was Gulina's first time performing. She was only 17 years old and inexperienced. She knew she was about to perform a somewhat revealing sex scene. She was at a loss in the room on the set, and subconsciously folded her arms to protect herself.

Zhang Songwen didn't know how to persuade her. A little girl was performing a revealing scene, and as a grown man, he couldn't say much about it. He also had no presence in the scene, so he could only leave on his own.

"Nana, it's okay. It shouldn't be too revealing." Wen Zhengrong came over to comfort her, glancing at Chu Xuan in the living room outside the room. "Believe in the director's character. A man with a wife won't see a girl like you embarrassed."

Liu Yifei came over and said with a smile: "Teacher Wen, Chu Xuan will be embarrassed if you say that."

The surveillance camera was placed in the living room, and Chu Xuan in front of the surveillance camera held his forehead and shook his head helplessly.

Liu Yifei clapped her hands and called to the crew: "Everyone, please give the actors some space to perform. Please go out."

She began to clear the scene, and the crew members were sensible and all left.

"What about me?" asked cameraman Long Fei.

Liu Yifei came up to Long Fei with a smile on her face. Under Long Fei's surprised gaze, she took the camera from his hand and said, "Put the fixed camera there, and I'll shoot the mobile camera. Director Chu said so."

Long Fei looked outside the door and exchanged a glance with Chu Xuan who was sitting on the sofa.

Chu Xuan nodded, feeling amused. It was clearly he who wanted to control the game console, but he said it was arranged by him. This was really a bit cheeky.

Long Fei saw Chu Xuan's expression and understood. The reason why Producer Liu controlled the game console in this scene was, firstly, to take care of Gulina so as to avoid embarrassment for a grown man like him to shoot the bed scene. Secondly, Producer Liu wanted to use the game console to experience the feeling of filming and satisfy his sudden interest.

So, Long Fei retreated.

Liu Yifei walked towards Gulina and raised the camera in her hand: "Now it's ready, I'll take a picture for you. Later, there will be only you, me and Teacher Wen in the room."

Gulina pursed her lips. Liu Yifei cleared the scene and took the photos herself, just to take good care of her. This made her feel warm: "Then...should I take it off now?"

"Is the underwear you are wearing a tube top?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Yeah." Gulina nodded.

"That's easy." Liu Yifei said, "You don't need to take off your pants. Just wear a tube top and lie down in the quilt, exposing the back and shoulders of the tube top. Then squeeze out some tears and lie on your side."

Is it that simple? It's not that revealing... Gulina breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that she would be exposed, but it turned out to be just like sleeping normally, which made her feel relieved.

"If you're afraid of embarrassment, just go to bed and hide under the quilt to take off your clothes. I'll close the door." Liu Yifei said, and came to the door and made an "OK" gesture to Chu Xuan. She then waved to a makeup artist, and closed the door after the makeup artist came in.

"I'll go outside to prepare." Wen Zhengrong left.

Gulina was already lying down, trying to find her emotions and squeeze out her tears. The makeup artist touched up her makeup and messed up her hair.

Liu Yifei held the camera and followed Chu Xuan's instructions to focus: "Slightly reduce the focal length, as if you were shooting it directly, and slightly enlarge the field of view."

The focus puller was cleared out, and only Chu Xuan could control the details of the shot remotely.

While adjusting the camera slightly, Liu Yifei worried that Gulina was still feeling uncomfortable, and consoled her: "I don't even have the courage to shoot this kind of scene. You have the courage to shoot it, which is much better than me."

"No way." Gulina, who was lying with her back to him, smiled and was very happy about Liu Yifei's encouragement and praise for her.

"Really, you are better than me." Liu Yifei added: "Although your two appearances seem indecent, the fact that you are a member of the disadvantaged group in them will make the audience sympathize with you. The right and wrong of the plot will be judged by the audience, but the final direction of the story is definitely towards light, so the plot where you finally come out of the shadows will be more popular with the audience."

Hearing what Liu Yifei said, Gulina had an expectant look in her eyes and said, "Actually, I am very happy to join the crew of "My Love from the Star" because you are here. I grew up watching your dramas. You are so beautiful."

Liu Yifei's hand was suspended in mid-air while adjusting the camera. She automatically ignored the words at the end. The words in the middle made her look silly and cute: "You grew up watching my dramas? I'm dizzy. I'm only 21 years old, okay."

Gulina's sister and the makeup artist were at a loss for words. Is Gulina considered to have low emotional intelligence or is she just a man of few words? But she was so sincere, and what she said must be the truth. This can only show that Liu Yifei is too good.

Chu Xuan teased over the intercom: "Nana is 17 years old. She was only 11 when your Golden Powder was broadcast. It's okay for her to have watched you since she was a child."

"Shut up." Liu Yifei said angrily. It was the first time someone told her that she had grown up with him. It made her seem so old. She was only 21 years old, but now she was someone's senior. It was really sad and funny.

"Did I say something wrong?" Gulina said nervously.

"Have you seen Chu Xuan grow up since he was a child?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Yes, you two are my idols. I have liked you since sixth grade." Gulina said honestly.

"You are right then." Liu Yifei said.

Huang Lei's laughter came from the intercom: "It's a love-hate relationship."

The makeup artist and sister Gulina were even happier. Liu Yifei also couldn't help laughing. She couldn't be the only one being called old. After hearing Gulina say that Chu Xuan was also raised by her, she felt relieved.

"Oh, I was crying, why are you laughing?" Gulina was depressed. She couldn't understand why everyone was so cheerful, and the emotion she had finally found disappeared in an instant.

"No more talking, just continue." Liu Yifei had a liking for her for a moment, as if she saw herself when she first entered the industry, as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

"Let's start. The script supervisor is just outside the door clapboard." After a while, Chu Xuan's voice came from the intercom.

Gulina's sister left after giving a few instructions, and the makeup artist helped Gulina to tidy up her look and then left.

Liu Yifei took the camera and focused the lens on Gulina's smooth upper back. After the script supervisor clapped the board loudly outside the door, she slowly moved the camera around the bed, trying to keep the camera at a consistent height above the ground.

The fixed lens is at the corresponding corner of the bed, and the lens is facing the door.

When Liu Yifei passed the corner of the bed and disappeared from the fixed camera, Chu Xuan's voice came from the intercom again: "Teacher Wen, come in."

The door was quietly opened, and then there was a soft "bang" and then the sound of high heels walking in was heard.

Liu Yifei didn't care about this. Her camera was always on Gulina and her attention was always on Gulina. When the camera moved around the bed and came to Gulina's face, she stopped.

The camera freezes, Gulina turns her face to the side with a look of despair, the traces of tears at the corners of her eyes are obvious, some hairs mixed with tears are stuck to her cheeks in her messy hair, this scene combined with the foreplay tells you what tragedy has happened.

After the moving lens froze for a few seconds, when Wen Zhengrong walked in in the fixed lens and was about to walk sideways into the corridor beside the bed, Liu Yifei saw this scene out of the corner of her eye, and then slowly raised the camera, adjusted the angle on the spot and gave the lens to Wen Zhengrong.

Wen Zhengrong disappeared in the fixed shot with a turn, and appeared in Liu Yifei's moving shot without any seamless cuts, making the picture of Wen Zhengrong smoothly connected and in the same frame with Gulina.

Wen Zhengrong folded his arms, looked down at Gulina, and said calmly: "A pleasant night may be able to exchange for a lifetime of worry-free food and clothing. The cost-effectiveness is so high. Crying seems hypocritical."

Wen Zhengrong calmly turned around and walked away: "Get up and go, my heroine, a bright future is waiting for you."

Wen Zhengrong's scene was performed during the audition, and Chu Xuan added it temporarily to see more of Wen Zhengrong's performance.

In response to the teachers' unanimous suggestion, this scene should be added to the script, simply because these two lines are too profound and ironic, and may become a classic.

Chu Xuan asked Liu Yi to add this scene in. In contrast to the painful and lonely Gulina, Wen Zhengrong's calmness and indifference combined with the lines highlight a profit-seeking character, highlighting the atmosphere in the entertainment industry where people only care about profits and have no humanity.

It works great, the only problem is...

"Producer Liu, your camera is too shaky. Don't try to use automatic frame extraction. Adjust it and try again."

The camera is too shaky, so it automatically skips frames?
Gulina didn't understand, so she just kept acting and followed the instructions.

Wen Zhengrong covered his mouth with his hands and smiled happily. If the camera is too shaky, it will freeze when processing the image quality to improve the clarity. The solution is to remove the stuck frames. However, Chu Xuan called the picture freezes caused by the shaky camera automatic frame extraction?
Frame skipping is a technical job and also the art of director editing. But it was obvious that Liu Yifei couldn't hold the camera steadily, but Chu Xuan said that Liu Yifei's camera movement was too advanced, like automatic frame skipping. This is incredible. This professional joke is really funny.

Concubine Liu Yi bent down slightly with great joy. She squinted her eyes and sent two sharp glances at the door. If the door was not closed, she would let Chu Xuan know what the queen's gaze was.

"Try again." She took the camera back to its place. She just couldn't believe it. How could she not hold the lens steadily?

Facts have proved that operating the camera with a handheld game console requires a lot of skill, and people without sufficient skills will not be able to hold the camera steadily.

I tried it again, and the problem still lies in the camera movement.

"Producer Liu, how about we change people? Can we practice privately before going on to do it?" The directors outside were all happy.

"Let's do it again!" Liu Yifei refused to admit defeat. Such enthusiasm is worth learning.

But Gulina can no longer cry. Can you please consider the girl’s feelings?
"Come on, sister." Gulina cheered for Liu Yifei.

Just a moment ago, Liu Yifei was encouraging Gulina, and at this moment, Gulina encouraged Liu Yifei in return. The two simple and pure girls took care of each other. It was quite inspiring to shoot this scene like this.

"Click."

"Forget it, let's just pass it."

Forget it? What kind of attitude is this? … After Liu Yifei finished filming for the third time, she heard Chu Xuan's tone and immediately walked out of the room quickly and went to the monitor to replay the footage.

"Isn't this good? No trembling or shaking, so what's the problem?" She raised her eyebrows.

"No problem, this time it's great." Chu Xuan shook his head.

"Then what does 'forget it' mean? What's your attitude?" Liu Yifei widened her eyes.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. It was perfect." Chu Xuan took her hand and walked out.

"That's more like it." Liu Yifei murmured with satisfaction, returned the camera to Long Fei, and changed the scene with Chu Xuan.

The teachers looked at the couple flirting with each other, shook their heads and smiled. This dog food actually filled their dinner.

"Sister, can I go with you?" Gulina put on her clothes and ran out. She spent a brief time with Liu Yifei and received her comprehensive protection. Perhaps it was because she was successful in chasing her idol, or perhaps it was because of Liu Yifei's personal charm, which made her, a young and inexperienced girl, develop trust and some dependence on Liu Yifei for no reason.

"Sure, come quickly." Liu Yifei turned her head and waved to Gulina.

Gulina ran forward with joy, came to Liu Yifei and took her arm. Without the class barriers that Song Qian experienced as a trainee in South Korea, nor the sophistication of relationships that Yang Mi experienced as a career ups and downs, Gulina is really innocent at the moment.

Chu Xuan watched the two of them chatting happily, and knew that Liu Yifei really liked to interact with women with pure personalities such as Jiang Xin, Tang Yan, and now Gulina. This is also a realistic portrayal of the fact that birds of a feather flock together.

He had joked about his wife in the past. With Liu Yifei's identity and status, once her team of similar people became strong, Liu Yifei's clear stream and her team would turn into a clear spring. With Liu Yifei's personality, she might even become a dedicated godmother in the entertainment industry.

At present, it seems that there is evidence of this.

He didn't have any thoughts about it, as long as his wife was happy.

Sister Gulina who was following behind the crowd suppressed her excitement. Her younger sister had just entered the industry and had no idea what to do. If she could get along well with Liu Yifei and take care of her, then her younger sister's future would not only be smooth, but would also have fewer obstacles and she herself would be able to protect herself.

Tang Ren is a subsidiary of Brilliant Times, Liu Yifei is the boss lady of Brilliant Times, Cai Yinong is interested in signing his sister, and now it seems like it will be a good place...
