Filming continues, on the set of "Twenty Again".

Yan Danchen put on retro makeup, and the temperament of the eldest lady of the Republic of China came to her face.

She didn't linger in front of the mirror, and after finishing her makeup, she hurried to the set to wait.

The staff saw her show up and asked if she was ready.

Yan Danchen nodded, full of confidence.

The next few shots had already been prepared several times earlier, and it wasn't a big problem for her.

After receiving an affirmative reply, the field management issued an instruction and counted down to 30 seconds.

Within thirty seconds, all areas to be swept by the camera are cleared again.

All the rest of the personnel checked their work and shouted "Ready" repeatedly.

The whole set was like an army, neatly making Wang Zhiwen, who was watching from the sidelines, praise it again in his heart.

Without waiting to think about it, when the thirty seconds were up, after a "start", Yan Danchen began to perform in front of the camera.

Ten minutes later, Yan Danchen finished filming for the fifth time.

Then a group of actors came to the monitor to watch the replay.

Yan Danchen looked at Lu Ping'an, who had a regular and calm expression, and was a little nervous.

This shooting, or the current Xingchen crew, is very different from three years ago.

The last time Yan Danchen participated in Lu Ping'an's movie was when it was "Source Code".

At that time, many of the Xingchen team were just graduates or even newcomers in school, and there was always a rush when shooting.

But that is no longer the case.

After several years of tempering, Lu Ping'an's team has become a sophisticated instrument.

The division of labor is fine and efficient.

In Lu Ping'an's words, there is basically no second such team in the mainland.

Also, after all, not everyone can go to Hollywood and participate in the production of big projects throughout the process, and the Xingchen team went in a group and participated in the production of the whole process, and more than once!

In addition, it is not only the team that is sophisticated, but all the equipment of the crew is also sophisticated.

Lu Ping'an briefly introduced it to her.

The total price of a few cameras and all the spare lenses alone is close to $4 million.

This is unimaginable in the eyes of other film companies.

Yan Danchen's first reaction was that there was no need.

It's so extravagant, it feels like you're using a supercar to transport slag, it's a waste.

But after actually experiencing this top-notch equipment, Yan Danchen finally understood the gap between Hollywood and domestic films.

In addition, Lu Ping'an's directing skills have risen sharply.

Yan Danchen obviously felt that his texture in the movie had been greatly improved, which made him sigh: This is the movie.

But it also poses a problem, because the filming of each scene is more stressful than expected.

Because of the expensive various instruments and professional personnel, in addition to the huge improvement in the texture of the picture, there are also higher requirements for the actors to show themselves in front of the camera.

The previous method of killing in a set of performance modes does not seem to be very effective.

Different scenes, different lights, different lenses, and even different positions, all have to be refined.

In the words of Wang Zhiwen, who watched together: I have filmed movies with road guides, and I feel that the movies I have made before are all TV series.

One is a special forces, and the other is a special forces, but compared with the Xingchen team, it is really similar to the regular army that is currently filming TV series.

After watching Yan Danchen with a new texture on the monitor again, he will sigh again: Hollywood directors are different.

In fact, Wang Zhiwen's perception is a little exaggerated.

He entered the industry very early and is well-informed, but in fact, after domestic films entered the blockbuster era, he, like most actors, did not participate in real commercial blockbusters.

With this feeling, it is actually a three-view reshaping of leading commercial films.

Haven't seen it, of course it's fresh.

In addition, the improvement of the overall quality of the Lu Ping An team is indeed a very important factor.

Over the years, Xingchen has had its own top-level team.

Lu Ping'an expressed satisfaction.

"Teacher Wang, how is it, do you feel that there is anything inappropriate?"

After watching the playback, Lu Ping'an asked Wang Zhiwen with a smile.

"No, no, Xiao Yan acted very well, and this time he has made great progress."

Wang Zhiwen immediately liked it and smiled happily, which was a feeling from the heart after being respected.

"That's over, get ready for the next shot."

Lu Ping'an waved his hand, and the team moved again.

Lu Ping'an then said to Wang Zhiwen: "Next is Xue Zhiqian's role, I still have to trouble you, Mr. Wang." ”

"Don't worry, being a teacher is my old job."

Wang Zhiwen left with a smile.

Zhang Songwen, who came to observe with the group, also went over to watch.

Wang Zhiwen's line ability is a must, and for Zhang Songwen, he will not let go of any opportunity to improve himself.

The rest of the actors also went over to listen to the class.

Improving oneself is one thing, showing attitude in front of Lu Ping'an is another.

No one wants to be fired from the Lu Ping'an crew because of their casual attitude.

This way you really can't mix it up in the future.

And this is also the reason why Lu Ping'an respects Wang Zhiwen very much.

Just like "Initial D", Wang Zhiwen at this time is Liang Jiahui, who was used by Lu Ping'an as a teacher in the crew at that time.

What is the nickname of "a generation of love saints" aside, Wang Zhiwen is indeed a cow, and to cooperate with this kind of cattle, respect is a must.

In this way, the overall performance of the crew and actors can be raised a lot.

Save time and effort.

It is expected that the 40-day schedule will definitely not exceed 30 days in the end.

Lu Ping'an once again expressed his satisfaction.

The crew is running efficiently and advancing steadily.

The time is also fast into October.

On October 4th, Jiang Wen, who had not been seen for a long time, came to visit the class.

"Is the movie finished?"

After chatting briefly with everyone in the crew, Lu Ping'an and Jiang Wen sat together.

"A few shots are missing, and I will go to the new province to make up for it after the New Year."

Jiang Wen said and said to Lu Ping'an, "Thank you!" ”

"When are you going to talk about this?"

Lu Ping'an smiled and gave a roll of his eyes.

Like the original plane, "The Sun Also Rises" started filming a few months ago, and the progress was less than a third of the time and the funds were overrun.

At the beginning, the investor Jiang Wen was looking for was directly scared back and withdrawd.

Jiang Wen had no choice but to call Lu Ping'an again, and Lu Ping'an gave another 20 million without the slightest hesitation, and the project was able to continue.

This kind of thing is not worth mentioning to Lu Ping'an, after all, he had planned to give up the children to set up a set of wolves behind.

But for Jiang Wen, it's definitely not.

He knows that many times, even if the relationship between two people is good, the aspect of money will turn sour.

But Lu Ping'an's style made him understand once again that there are really some unusual people in this world.

And luckily, I had a good relationship with that person.

"Thank you anyway, it's not a small amount of money."

"If you lose, it's a big deal to bury you alive."

"Hahaha, okay, tell me in advance when the time comes, and I'll find a feng shui treasure."

Jiang Wen didn't realize that what Lu Ping'an said was true, laughed, and then asked about the movie he was making now.

Lu Ping'an handed over the script, and then briefly introduced the story.

Jiang Wen didn't read the script after hearing the story, he wasn't very interested in this kind of story.

just replied: "It's a little simpler, I thought it was another amazing story." ”

"It's hard to make money, don't chill."

Lu Ping'an didn't explain much.

Indeed, "Twenty Years Old Again" is naturally not comparable to those films that explore human nature or something.

But why should commercial films be so esoteric, and they don't rush for awards.

The previous "Wonderful Night" was actually the same, happy and relaxed, it was enough.

Jiang Wen was a little regretful: "I still miss the way you used to be, the script 'snapped' and threw it on the table, cocked Erlang's legs, and watched everyone's faces change, and the net TM pretended to be better." ”

"Rub, that's what I think of you?"

"You dare to say you don't?"

"Nope!"

"Come on, you!"

Jiang Wen pouted with a smile, and then returned to seriousness, "But I'm serious, your previous ideas are really much better than the current ones."

Jiang Wen talked about Lu Ping'an's previous movies.

Lu Ping'an was also quite emotional.

That's more than five years.

Time flies!

"Tell me when you have a point.,It's okay if you're not ready to shoot.,It's still good to relieve boredom in your book.。

After hearing this, Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "How do you know that there is no mystery in this script?" ”

Jiang Wen was immediately interested when he heard this.

Then hurry up and read the script.

I just listened to the story briefly, but I didn't read it carefully, and I thought it was really a simple popcorn movie.

But, after he saw it, he showed disappointment again: "Youth is bizarre, laughter, if you want to talk about depth, there is, with a bit of fantasy humanistic care, focusing on the respect and understanding between generations, it's indeed a pretty good book, but it's a lot worse than the mystery, right?" ”

Jiang Wen is worthy of being Jiang Wen, and after watching it once, you can know the essence of the movie.

Lu Ping'an expressed his admiration in his heart, and then cocked Erlang's legs.

"Look, here you go again, and say you don't!"

"Ah, subconsciously."

"It's pretending!"

"Nothing."

Jiang Wen pointed to Lu Ping'an and shouted, very happy.

After laughing, Lu Ping'an put down Erlang's leg with a smile and said "Xuanji": "You turn the script upside down and try it." ”

After Jiang heard this, he quickly recalled it in his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he began to complete it by himself:

An old lady who has gone through a full life, is gentle and elegant, enthusiastic and kind, has a harmonious relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and has a harmonious neighborhood, and just wants to spend the rest of her life quietly.

One day suddenly a crazy old lady appeared, to give her youth for free, she accepted, so the body became 20 years old young appearance, with delicate skin, ruddy lips, plump body, angel face, she was overjoyed, began to enjoy life, she fell in love, to sing, to do what she didn't have time to do when she was young, a lifetime of life experience let her know how to care for others, to encourage others, her life became so perfect.

is about to become a famous singer, and a handsome young guy is about to fall in love.

She felt that it was a gift from God, not a deal with the devil.

However, at this time, the plot took a big turn, God took away her youth when she was the happiest, and she turned back into an old lady.

All the beautiful youth was lost in an instant, and career, love, all suddenly woke up like a dream.

She began to be unable to adapt to old age, although this was originally her old life, but after tasting the magic of rejuvenation, she could not forget the taste, and she began to search frantically to find her youth again

Since then, she can no longer live in peace, and has become an old lady who owes her mouth, muttering to herself every day, bringing infinite negative energy to her family, friends, and people around her, and finally her family can't stand it and sends her to a nursing home.

At the end of the story, she comes out on the street and finds another kind old lady.

"Hiss~ It smells like that!"

Jiang Wen's eyes were shining.

The dark version of "Twenty Years Old Again" is the way to be safe.

It's a lot like "The Tuner" and "Hunger Platform".

"It's going to be a lot of fun!"

Jiang Wen was a little excited.

The story was made up by his brain in a short period of time, and if he really made up for it, it would be much better.

However, Lu Ping'an shook his head and said, "It's too dark to pass the trial." ”

"Isn't it easy to circumvent audits?"

"Forget it, let's make a commercial film."

Lu Ping'an shook his head and said, "It's good to be happy, and the influence may not be small."

The reason why the South Korean version of "Strange Her" can be admired is that the movie cares about the old ladies of this world with a kind of humanistic care with fantasy colors, and we who will eventually become old ladies, and those who have watched the South Korean version will understand the meaning of this sentence.

Humanistic care is no worse than exposing human nature.

A little more good, there is no harm.

People also prefer this.

This is also the reason why this humanistic film model was later used by South Korean directors in batches.

So from this point of view, Lu Ping'an's filming of "Twenty Years Old Again" is also opening up another road for mainland filmmakers that has not been taken much attention before.

After Jiang heard this, he was impressed by Lu Ping'an: "It's very different from a few years ago!" ”

Lu Ping'an raised his chin and was very proud: "That's, I'm a big Hollywood director!" ”

"Look at you!"

Jiang Wen pouted again, and then stretched out his hand, "Comrade Director, at my son's first birthday banquet on the 16th, you have to wrap a red envelope that matches your identity, right?" ”

"My godson was born? It has to be big! ”

"you, take advantage of me, don't you?"

The two chatted for a while and continued filming.

Jiang Wen also spent a day in the crew.

Although I have no interest in the positive and warm version of "Twenty Years Old Again".

But he was very greedy for all kinds of new equipment for the crew.

It's a pity that his movie is about to be completed, otherwise he would have to change a batch of equipment, oh, and borrow people.

He had already seen that the people at the scene were not ordinary people.

But if you look at Lu Ping'an again, he will understand.

There is nothing strange about what kind of generals there are soldiers.

In the evening, Jiang Wen didn't stay to eat on the pretext of going back to take care of the children.

Lu Ping'an also called it a day and went home directly, and when he returned home, Yan Danchen had already washed his name.

In the past few days, Lu Ping'an specially arranged it, and used "surprise to solve the acting problems of Xue Zhiqian and Liu Yan", so that Yan Danchen had a day to rest.

Why do you want to rest, Yan Danchen can't hold back thinking about it day and night, and another reason is that Chang'e will appear in "Baolian Lantern" tonight.

"Baolian Lantern" was launched yesterday, and the ratings were very good on the first day.

Yan Danchen was a little excited.

If the ratings are high, the actors in the play will definitely become popular.

And he is the actor of Chang'e, if the audience likes it, then it will be of great help to "Twenty Years Old Again".

The question is, will the audience like it?

With such worries, she was a little nervous the whole time when she watched TV at night.

But the results should look good.

The third episode of TV is 15 minutes long.

The Queen Mother summoned Chang'e.

"The fairy is here."

As soon as the most beautiful Chang'e appeared, Lu Ping'an was a bright eye.

Then the queen mother asked Chang'e to go to Huashan to make a decree, but was robbed of the task by Erlang God.

This is followed by the footage of Tianting clocking in and out of work.

Chang'e called out to Erlang God and asked him what happened to the Three Holy Mother.

Just these few shots can be seen that Chang'e is so beautiful.

"Steady, don't worry."

"Oh yes, I'm still so nervous."

Sister Chang'e got into Lu Ping'an's arms and covered her face, unable to tell whether she was really nervous or coquettish.

But it seems that she already knows that Chang'e will probably be a logo of her career.

Then the TV continued, and the two chatted about the plot while watching, as well as about the filming of the TV series.

Lu Ping'an asked her with a smile: "Is Chang'e and Yang Jian a couple?" ”

"It's Erlang God who has a crush on me."

"Yes, the screenwriter has a big brain!"

"Isn't it!"

"But I think Chang'e should be with the Jade Emperor."

"Ah, why?"

"What do you think about the rabbit in your arms called?"

"Jade Rabbit."

"What's the last name?"

"Jade Rabbit, Jade. Aha, Lu Ping'an, the screenwriter in the world is the biggest in your brain! ”

"That's not it, I will find you to be my girlfriend if I have a hole in my brain."

"I'll bite you to death"
