Rebirth Turn

Generally speaking, it is the job of the director to prepare and build a crew.In fact, the crew of "Hometown" was indeed prepared by Li Ran.However, as a producer, Lu Yan also has a great say. Apart from not interfering with the director's shooting ideas, he will try his best to participate and pay attention to other aspects when he has time.So apart from the really inconspicuous extras, all the important and main roles are decided by the two of them together.

A few days ago, when Lu Yan was participating in a program, he received a call from Li Ran, telling him that the actor who was originally cast for an important role had an accident. I can't get into the crew on time.

The crew has been filming for a while. Although this role does not have many roles, it is quite crucial. If the actor joins the crew after he recovers from his injury, it may disrupt the progress of the filming.In the middle of the dilemma, the other party also very sensiblely asked to withdraw, and the crew readily agreed without asking him to pay compensation.It happened that Lu Yan was busy those few days, so the re-casting was handed over to Li Ran. When Li Ran notified him that he had already chosen someone and was a newcomer, Lu Yan didn't care.Lu Yan knew that Li Ran had a vicious vision, so he would definitely be able to choose someone, even if it was a newcomer, Li Ran was very good at training actors.

When Lu Yan returned to the crew and saw the newcomer actor, he felt a little familiar at first glance, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.The requirement for this role is to be young, beautiful and good-looking. The originally signed actor was of mixed race, with outstanding facial features, which made it easy for people to fall in love with him at first sight. At that time, Lu Yan and Li Ran almost decided on him at the first meeting. After he couldn't participate in the performance because of an accident, Lu Yan regretted it for a while.What is rare is that the appearance of the replaced one is not inferior to the original one at all, especially when he smiles, he is a little naive and shy, which is especially easy to arouse women's maternal feelings. Look at almost everyone around him. If it's a female staff member, you'll know it.

I don't know where Li Ran found such an outstanding young man, maybe he is a newcomer who just debuted.In recent years, Lu Yan has been very busy, and it is normal that he has no time to pay attention to the newcomers in the showbiz.Anyway, in this circle, if a newcomer comes today, he will become an old one in the blink of an eye.It's too late for everyone to sweep the snow in front of the door and try hard to keep their position and climb up, so how can they control the frost on others.

Lu Yan looked at the newcomer actor twice more, and Song Hui walked over and said with a mysterious smile, "Brother Lu, does he think he looks familiar?"

"Huh? I've seen him?" Lu Yan asked.

"I knew Brother Lu that you don't remember." Song Hui smiled, "You still remember that you went to a music academy to donate money the year before last, and when you left, a donated student stopped our car."

"Oh, so it's him." Lu Yan remembered a little.

"At that time, he rushed out so suddenly that I was shocked. I still have lingering fears when I think about it now. The young man is so courageous." Song Hui tutted.

Lu Yan looked at him with a smile, "You don't seem to be much older than him, do you need such an old-fashioned tone? Just because of this, you have remembered him for so long? It is really enough to hold a grudge."

"Not really." Song Hui scratched the hair on the back of his head, "Brother Lu, you don't usually pay attention to newcomers, you don't know, this kid is very popular now. He participated in a talent show at the beginning of the year and won the championship. Now The popularity is very high, and there are piles of little girls who want to visit his class every day. But I didn't recognize him at first. He recognized me first, and there are not many people who are so good-looking. I just remembered."

Lu Yan smiled lightly, "I can't see that you are still a face control."

Song Hui shrugged, "I can't help it, who made everyone around me so high-quality, and the aesthetics have been cultivated."

Today happened to have their rivalry.Before the filming started, the newcomer came to greet Lu Yan and called out respectfully, "Brother Lu."

Lu Yan smiled slightly and called out his name, "Xiao Xuyan."

Xiao Xuyan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Brother Lu, you still remember me!"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so intense, but now it seems inappropriate to say that I only remembered it after someone reminded me, so I just smiled and didn't speak.

Xiao Xuyan's beautiful eyes seemed to be shining, "Brother Lu, I remember everything you said to me. If you don't want to accept gifts from others, you have to work hard to become stronger. All dignity is based on being able to survive. Yes. I also want to be a person who can give like Brother Lu."

Lu Yan patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "This is very good, come on!"

Xiao Xuyan still wanted to say something, but Li Ran called them over to talk about the show, so he had to give up.

After the filming started, Lu Yan found that although Xiao Xuyan was a newcomer, his acting skills were a little immature, but he was quite spiritual and basically understood everything.Coupled with his cute appearance, it made up for his lack of acting skills.What's more, his role requires more appearance than acting skills.Once again, Lu Yan felt that Li Ran's vision in selecting actors was undeniable. The effect Xiao Xuyan achieved was even better than the mixed-race kid they signed before.

However, although the requirements for acting skills are not high, they can't be completely absent, so every time Li Ran talks to Xiao Xuyan about the play, he will be very detailed, even a look, a movement, and the angle of looking at the camera are all stipulated, he just needs to do it.In this way, although there is not much room for newcomers to play, it can guarantee the shooting quality of the movie to the greatest extent.On the other hand, this can be regarded as a lesson for the newcomer, letting him know what to do.

Li Ran is such an excellent director, he is responsible for the film, and it goes without saying that he is responsible for the newcomers.But sometimes being too serious will attract gossip, especially when Xiao Xuyan's appearance is so outstanding.Li Ran was a bit slow in this aspect, and he didn't react until more and more people showed ambiguous smiles when he was talking to Xiao Xuyan, and some words fell directly to his ears.Thinking of how others looked at the scene where he was talking to Xiao Xuyan, Li Ran felt a little dark. It's no wonder that every time he called Xiao Xuyan to stop, he would show a somewhat embarrassed look.As a director, I have been described as such, but as a rookie actor, I am not sure what to be described as.

Li Ran complained to Lu Yan a little depressed, "What are you talking about? Isn't it normal for a director to talk to an actor about a play? Just because the actor looks better, something must happen? The thinking of these people Why is it so dirty?"

Lu Yan pursed her lips and smiled, it was rare to see the domineering Director Li having such an aggrieved moment, so she added insult to injury, "It's no wonder they think so. It's normal for a director to tell an actor about a play, but you don't have such patience with others. You don't seem to have lost your temper with him."

It is well known that Director Li has a bad temper. When talking about plays with actors, he often speaks bloody people, especially some new actors who are not enlightened.But he never lost his temper with Xiao Xuyan, no wonder others thought he was interested in Xiao Xuyan.

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and said innocently, "Every time I told him he did a good job, and his attitude was also very correct, why should I scold him? Besides, there are people I haven't scolded before. He's not the only one, I never scolded you when you first filmed my scene."

This is true, but Lu Yan was just joking with him. After laughing, of course he still wanted to comfort him, "You also know that the domestic environment is like this. Such scandals break out every now and then, everyone It’s a bit of a war. What’s more, the body is not afraid of the shadow crooked, others just talk about what to be afraid of.”

"Hey," Li Ran sighed, "Hollywood's environment is still good, everything is industrialized, and there are various trade unions to protect the rights and interests of actors and directors. There are not so many bad things at all. When will we purify the domestic industry? The environment has made people nowadays talk about all kinds of dirty things when they talk about the entertainment industry."

"As long as we filmmakers work hard from generation to generation, we will be able to develop to that level one day." Lu Yan was not particularly sure.

"Unless the domestic environment can also realize industrialization, if the investor director and others always have the final say, otherwise, I think it will be difficult! Even if the director investor doesn't think so, it can't be guaranteed. Some actors have that heart. In addition, There are so many gossips from boring people, and there is nothing that can be said to be true. If you destroy your bones, your mouth will make you gold." Li Ran said helplessly.

Lu Yan patted him, and said with a smile, "Okay, my Director Li, don't worry about the country and the people so much, think about it, huh? Anyway, these words have no effect on you."

Li Ran shook his head and said, "I'm really fine. It's just that Xiao Xu is a little pitiful. I think he is said to be worse in private. Otherwise, you can give him more guidance for the rest of the scene. Anyway, what kind of effect do you want? I know too."

"Then you're not afraid of others talking about me and him? That's a bit unkind." Lu Yan said intentionally.

Li Ran gave him a sideways glance, "Who made our film emperor Lu popular? It's not the first time you've pointed out a newcomer. Besides, everyone knows now that you have a 'lover'. Besides, this is an organizational issue. For your test, you should be guided, but you are not allowed to have any crooked thoughts and do things that are sorry for Boss Su."

Lu Yan spread his hands, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Knowing that you are not, I feel relieved to entrust the task to you." Li Ran smiled.

So, before the next shooting, Li Ran told them the scene as usual, and then said loudly, "Lu Yan, if it was you, how would you act in this part, tell Xiao Xu about it."

Lu Yan smiled in his heart, Li Ran's words were really a bit of a cover-up, but it's hard for him to come up with such a trick to avoid suspicion.

Indeed, as Li Ran said, although Lu Yan became famous, he never put on airs and was very kind to others, so he was very popular.No matter if you are a newcomer or an actor with some qualifications, as long as you seriously ask him for advice, he will patiently help, and his advice has always been simple but effective, and will not give people the feeling of domineering.In this crew alone, Xiao Xuyan was not the only one who got Lu Yan's advice. Besides, it was Li Ran who asked Lu Yan to give him advice, so no one would say anything.

Li Ran and Xiao Xuyan spend less time alone, and those gossip gradually dissipated.In this way, everyone is really happy.

However, what Li Ran didn't expect was that although Lu Yan wouldn't have other thoughts about Xiao Xuyan, but he couldn't keep Xiao Xuyan from thinking about Lu Xian.

In the beginning, it was normal for the seniors to give advice to the juniors. Later, Xiao Xuyan started to get close to Lu Yan with excuses. He did not deliberately hide his admiration. Lu Yan is not a slow person in this regard, and he will not have to wait for the other party to clarify. Only then did I understand.But the other party didn't make it clear, and Lu Yan couldn't refuse directly, so he intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself, hoping that the other party would retreat in spite of difficulties.

This kind of thing is nothing to Lu Yan at all, and he doesn't take it to heart at all, so there is no need to mention it to others.

The filming schedule has always been quite tight, and the daily budget is staggering, and Lu Yan's role as the leading actor is even tighter, and he won't focus on other things.What's more, when the filming progressed to October, the shortlist for this year's Taiwan Golden Horse Awards had already been released. After Lu Yan was awarded Best Actor in the Hong Kong Film Awards, he was nominated for Best Actor in the Golden Horse Awards.Various interviews and programs came one after another, occupying his time outside of shooting.
