Reborn in another world, the boss loves me to the core

Su Xian: "The success of this movie is not my own achievement. Even without me, the box office would not be that bad."

Yuan Meng: "Yes, because this movie has a novel story and is well-made, which is absolutely above the standard. That's why the driving force behind it is so strong."

"But you didn't pay attention to the online film reviews and audience comments. Most of them talk about the director's level, special effects level and screenwriter's level, and rarely mention the actors in the film. But for an actor, box office appeal is the foundation, such as Xiao Zhan and Shen Yan. Even if the films they made are not so good or not so popular, there are still a large number of fans willing to go to the cinema to buy and watch them, and the overall box office is still considerable, so investors will naturally flock to them."

Su Xian: "I know what you mean. I am not against Jiayi taking the idol star route, otherwise I would not have asked people to write "Boys Over Flowers". However, as a reporter asked me before why I founded Jiayi, I said that it was because I wanted to make better film and television works. No matter when, Jiayi's original intention remains unchanged. Every drama hopes to be refined and must not be shoddy, purely filmed for fans to watch and make money from fans. No one's money comes from the wind."

Yuan Meng let out a long sigh: "I thought you were against the idol star route."

"Who would go against money on purpose!" Su Xian said.

After dinner, Yuan Meng sent her back to the hotel and gave her the notice for tomorrow.

From morning to afternoon and then to evening, it is packed with people.

"Go to bed early, I'll call you tomorrow!"

Yuan Meng hugged her. Except for the first play she followed the crew throughout, she never accompanied the crew again afterwards.

First, she was too busy. As she became more popular, her resources skyrocketed. Even though she was a mature agent, dealing with these things took up most of her time. Second, Su Xian took too big a step. It took only a little over a year for her to go from being an independent artist to setting up a studio and then founding Jiayi.

It is quite remarkable that the business has been able to achieve what it is today in such a short period of time.

"Sister Meng, you don't have to accompany me to the group." Su Xian said, leaning against the door.

This hotel was booked by the crew of "Lamb", and all the crew members are staying there.

"It won't take too long to follow you for a few days. I should have followed you when you were filming Farewell My Concubine. But for at least the next three years, I won't let you take on that kind of film!"

Yuan Meng recalled feeling a little scared. When she saw the edited film, she found that Su Xian was completely immersed in the play and regarded himself as the character in the play.

She can't live without madness. When watching the behind-the-scenes of the scene where she drew her sword and stabbed herself, she even felt that this girl really wanted to commit suicide. This kind of emotional infectiousness is so terrifying.

For an actor, if he cannot get out of the role he is playing, not only will his acting career be interrupted, but in serious cases it will also cause many psychological illnesses.

Su Xian wanted to say something, but when he saw someone in the corridor looking at him curiously, he waved his hand and closed the door.

The next morning, Yuan Meng knocked on the door. Su Xian had already gotten up, washed up simply, and went to the set to put on makeup.

When we arrived at the set, most of the staff were already there, and they were busy setting up the scenery, adjusting the lights, laying the slide rails, etc.

After greeting director Yu Linong, assistant director, executive director and some actors, Su Xian changed her clothes. The clothing brands she endorsed were all top luxury brands, but their styles were not suitable for this gloomy and depressing crime thriller. Therefore, the costumes in the play were sponsored by the crew themselves. It is generally difficult to find clothing sponsors for this type of drama, but because Su Xian was the leading actress, many small clothing brands were willing to sponsor.

Today's show features the rivalry between Su Xian and Tang Lei.

This is the first time Shen Yue and Cai Wenhui meet in the play!

Most of Tang Lei's scenes have been filmed, including the classic blood butterfly scene. In that scene, the explosive power displayed by Tang Lei made the actors and staff present think that he was the perverted cannibal.

For several days, I even avoided him whenever I saw him.

The rival scene was scheduled for the afternoon, so Tang Lei had not yet arrived on the scene.

"Su Xian, this is your first time in the crew today. The scenes in the morning are relatively simple. Let's get used to it." Yu Linong briefly explained the play.

The scene is set.

"You go through this passage and I'll see the effect."

The first move before the official shoot.

Su Xian took a deep breath and walked slowly inside. The lights were dim and the shadows on both sides were filled with mottled brick walls.

The camera slide moves backwards following her footsteps.

"Brighten the light on the face a little bit, use a close-up of the face, and shoot the upper body from bottom to top. Okay, continue." Yu Linong kept directing and adjusting the lights and camera.

A strange sound made Su Xian turn his face slightly, raise his chin slightly, and look down.

The light source switches to the side, creating a natural shadow on the side face.

Keep walking forward, and you will see prisoners making strange noises in every cell you pass by. These noises will be simulated by dubbing artists later on.

"Stop, that's enough. Script supervisor, get ready. All departments, please pay attention. We are now officially starting filming."

There were no lines in this scene, it was just walking from the cell door to the back, and it was done in one take during the official filming.

Su Xian sat in the rest area for a while and then someone told her to take the next photo.

The next shot was her conversation with the prison guard, which had lines.

Su Xian had an excellent memory and could memorize the lines after reading the script only once.

At this moment, Yu Linong was directing the cameraman to shoot materials.

Of course, the richer the material of a movie is, the better. The richer it is, the deeper the visual experience it can bring to the viewers during post-editing.

The prison office was dark and depressing.

The camera panned across the tattered newspapers and photos on the wall, then to the steel door, the clothes hanging on the wall, the desk lamp on the office desk, and another prison guard sitting at the desk raised his head and looked at the camera expressionlessly, and finally turned to a standing prison guard and stopped.

The prison guard was an old superintendent in his forties, with a face full of flesh and a fierce look. He looked at her with a scrutinizing look and was not very kind.

"Hello, Miss. I'm Xu Wu. The person you want to see is at the bottom. The warden should have reminded you that it's best not to get close to that piece of glass."

Su Xian stood in front of the prison guards. The camera shot from behind both of them. The light source illuminated one side of their faces, while the other side was hidden in the shadows, looking depressed and gloomy.

"Yes, he told me, hello, my name is Shen Yue."

The prison guard walked past her and walked towards the iron gate: "Miss Shen, you can hang your coat there."

"Okay, thank you." Su Xian hung his coat on the hook nailed to the wall next to the iron gate.

At this moment the prison guard also opened the door.

"Professor Cai is in the room at the very back. Go to the right."

Su Xian stepped through the iron gate and looked inside. The whole scene was depressing and dim. The sound of the prison guard closing the iron gate seemed to scare her, and she turned back suddenly.

"I've put a chair for you. Don't get too close, it's dangerous." Xu Wu said.

Su Xian nodded, his face relaxed and a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you."

"Don't worry, I will watch over you and won't let anything happen to you."

Then another iron door leading to the prison was opened.

"OK, this one passed!" Yu Linong called for a stop.

Walk in front of Su Xian.

"Su Xian, you're in great shape. I want to shoot the next two scenes together. There will be more lines and the scenes will change. Is that okay?"

"I'm OK!"

"Okay, you take a rest first. It hasn't been set up over there yet." Yu Linong was also very proud.
