CHAPTER XX
Early the next morning, the crew of "If Love" in Shanghai Chedun Film and Television Base held a simple start-up press conference. In addition to a large number of journalists coming. Zhang Xueyou, a fan of Zhou Xun also came. Especially a group of excited female fans, they held Zhang Xueyou's poster and pulled up a red banner, all of them were very excited. There are probably nearly 100 fans of Zhang Xueyou, and the charm of the king is irresistible.
Shen Lian stood on Chen Xin's right side, with Zhou Xun on the side, and let the reporter take photos of them. When it came to the reporter's question session, Shen Lian, who was unexpectedly selected to replace Jin Chengwu, became the focus of reporters' questions.
"Hello Shen Lian, the album you just released recently has sold considerably, and you just have a firm foothold in the music industry, so you wonder if the development of the film industry is in a hurry." A reporter asked.
"I think there is an introduction to me in our company's profile, I am a student of theater and a professional actor. Thank you. Shen Lian responded with a smile.
"Then there are rumors that you are bringing investment into the group this time, is it true?" Another reporter asked a very pointed question.
"We have so many main creators of this movie, especially the director has put a lot of thought into it, and your question is questioning the efforts of all of us." Shen Lian also responded unceremoniously.
"The first movie is with Zhang Xueyou and Zhou Xun, two big names, if you are a qiē shun lì, will the identity of the actor accompany you more in the future, do you still have the confidence to release an album?"
"Today is the launch of the film, and I don't want to respond to other questions."
After a long period of verbal debate, the boot press conference finally ended. This is the first time Shen Lian has stepped into the camera as the protagonist, although he has also filmed a lot of MVs before, but he is really the first time to appear as the protagonist of a big movie like this, so it is definitely fake to say that he is not nervous.
"This costume will do, right?" Facing the mirror, Shen Lian looked at the beige suit on his body, and asked the costume master beside him in distress, in just half an hour, he had already changed three sets of clothes, but the costume master was not satisfied.
"Haha, don't be annoyed, how can you make a good movie if you don't pick the right one." Because it was Shen Lian's first performance, even Chen Xinxin, as the director, came to the set and personally helped Shen Lian's costumes.
"Director, I really think this set is pretty good." Shen Lian couldn't help complaining when he saw Chen Xin coming, in his opinion, this beige suit fits well, and it also sounds like a temperament when he wears it, and this is also quite consistent with the style of shooting for a while.
However, Chen Xin did not respond, but touched his chin, looked at Shen Lian with a thoughtful expression, was silent for about half a minute, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Take that pure black suit and let Shen Lian try it." ”
As soon as his words landed, a costumer went to execute it.
"Alas......" Shen Lian sighed, did not refuse, obediently took the suit, and the director said that he would do what he did.
A few minutes later, Shen Lian walked out of the fitting room in a pure black suit, and all the people present couldn't help but light up when they watched him come out.
The cut of this black suit is very noble, and the smooth and tight waistline sets off Shen Lian's tall figure at a glance, making Shen Lian's image more in line with the mood of the things in the play. Then the costume designer picked out a light blue and silver-white plaid tie from the side and put it on for Shen Lian.
At this time, Shen Lian's outfit was full of a calm atmosphere, which was also more in line with Lin Jiandong's identity as a star. Shen Lian looked in the mirror by himself, and he was extremely satisfied with this outfit.
"Okay, that's it, Shen Lian is here, let me help you get a foundation again, and fix your hairstyle by the way." The stylist stared at Shen Lian with bright eyes, as a stylist, what he hopes most is to see that Youjin can perfectly display his works, and there is no doubt that Shen Lian is this kind of entry.
Half an hour later, Shen Lian, who was wearing a pair of gentleman's sunglasses, walked into the shooting site, and all the eyes on the scene couldn't help but turn to him.
"Yo, it's cool and handsome," his partner Zhou Xun also complimented.
"Sister Xun, don't play with me." Shen Lian couldn't stand it and teased. The staff set up the venue.
"Start Shooting!! Chen Xin gave an order. This scene is mainly about Nie Wen (played by Zhang Xueyou) as the director, the actor Lin Jiandong (played by Shen Lian), and the heroine Sun Na (played by Zhou Xun) Sanjin participated in the press conference of the new film and was interviewed by the media on the spot.
The sound of the camera shutter continued to sound, and the media dressed up in the ensemble began to ask formal questions.
"I heard that this story has a concept only with funds, and it was the investors who asked you to make a song and dance film and use big-name actors, so do you want to turn to become a director who creates according to market demand? What do you think of the difference between a craftsman director and a creative art director......? ”
Before the media's words were finished, Nie Wen, as the director, interrupted her question.
"This young lady, I only have one purpose for making movies, that is, to make good movies, whether it is funds, actors, box office or those awards, the ultimate goal is the same."
"If your questions aren't constructive, I think that's the end of my questioning section." Lin Jiandong's tone was dissatisfied, obviously angered by the media's questions, of course, this also included Sun Na's deliberate appearance of pretending to be a stranger, which also made Lin Jiandong very angry.
The media was stunned for three seconds before the flashing lights continued to flash, and the questions continued, but this time the media's spearhead was pointed at Lin Jiandong again.
"I heard that you have always refused to go back to China to film, so what moved you this time?"
"The salary is high, the director is ......" Saying this, Lin Jiandong brought a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned his head to look at Sun Na, and continued: "The heroine is beautiful enough......"
And Sun Na showed an inexplicable smile under his words.
“CUT――――――!!!” The filming of this scene is over here, and Chen Xinxin, who was sitting in the director's seat, immediately stopped.
Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief, this performance was not easy for him, the flash of the key media was very close, and his eyes were very uncomfortable.
"Shen Lian, come here." Chen Xin stopped Shen Lian, who was resting on the side.
"What's wrong?" Shen Lian walked over nervously.
"See for yourself." Chen Xin turned the screen of the monitor to Shen Lian and said: "There is something wrong with your eyes, Sun Na is obviously unwilling to recognize you, and you are with the idea of revenge against her, there must be some provocative meaning in your eyes, but also some hatred." ”
"Forget it, you go back and figure it out yourself, and shoot again in ten minutes." Chen Xin waved his hand and pushed Shen Lian back.
In the following time, Shen Lian became the worst person scolded by Chen Xin. In order to maintain the mentality of Zhou Xun and Zhang Xueyou, don't force the two to stop filming too many times, Chen Xin privately asked the group actors to train with Shen Lian, and pointed out the slightest shortcomings. Shen Lian, who scolded at every turn when he was under too much pressure, was bloody. Shen Lian also looked depressed, and he was very helpless. However, everyone can see that the situation is also improving little by little, and half a month later, when the crew transferred to the Dongfeng Hotel, Shen Lian began to slowly integrate into the movie. In a simple theater temporarily renovated by the crew, all the work and staff are busy, and Chen Xinxin is also pulling Yelena, a dance teacher invited back from the United States, to discuss the issue of singing and dancing for a while.
"The dancers worked hard and the rehearsals were in place."
"Well, I don't doubt that, but I want you to see it from the perspective of a stage director, from which angle do you think this shot would be more natural?" Chen Xin humbly asked Yelena for advice.
Elena muttered for a moment, then began pacing back and forth in the field. Soon, Yelena was standing in a place not far away.
"This is the place, this is the best angle to admire, and all the dancers will have a clear view of their gorgeous dances."
"Remember to set up a camera here in a moment, flat and with a fixed stand." Chen Xin weighed it for a moment, and then immediately commanded.
"Well... Good. The staff immediately nodded, and then arranged for their men to set up the camera.
"Well, are you sure about the performance for a while? Or if there are any difficulties, they will be raised all at once. Chen Xin asked Zhang Xueyou, who was standing beside him.
"There's nothing difficult, it's mainly a play between the two of them, I only have two clips, and I don't even have lines." Zhang Xueyou shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.
