It snowed all night last night, and when Li Shengyao got up and opened the curtains, the outside was already covered in snow, and it was white.

"Dalian by the Sea" has some snow scenes, they have long been prepared for snow, and they will not reject such weather at this time.

However, such a cold environment will definitely have an impact on the crew's shooting.

Most of their crew are people south of Shanhaiguan, and they are still not very suitable for the climate in the Northeast.

Lee was one of them, the hotel was heated and very warm in the room, but he couldn't help but open his eyes when it snowed last night.

It wasn't that he woke up from freezing, but he heard the sound of falling snow, and suddenly he couldn't sleep, he thought of Chen Hao in Yanjing, Dong Xuan, Yan Danchen, and his children.

He wanted to make a phone call, but given the time, he couldn't help it.

He then thought that he would have to start work again the next day, so he closed his eyes and wanted to take a break.

But obviously very sleepy, after closing his eyes, he didn't fall asleep for a long time.

He used to sleep well, and he could fall asleep for three minutes when he went to bed.

This time he lay down for I don't know how long, and he still couldn't sleep, as if the sound of falling snow had a magic that he couldn't help but listen.

It was an experience he'd never had as a southerner.

When he got up early in the morning and saw the world that had changed his face, he suddenly felt a sense of pride, then quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and then followed the earliest crew bus to the set.

The Roc was also in the car.

At this time, the field workers on the car were all shrunk into a ball, one by one, rubbing their eyes, and some people were holding soy milk fritters, obviously just in a hurry, and many people did not sleep enough, or did not "sleep well".

Dapeng had two dark circles under his eyes, he wore a pair of glasses, took them off from time to time, and then rubbed his eyes, he just suddenly shed tears.

Li Shengyao went to Hangzhou to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards, and several assistant directors of Dapeng Bi Gan were responsible for the operation of the crew and filmed some irrelevant clips.

Dapeng will come to things, and at the same time will do things.

Li Shengyao planned to encourage this capable general, and said with a smile: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Well, I made the shooting plan last night, director, you look at my shooting schedule."

Dapeng is a native of the Northeast, and he has long been accustomed to the heavy snow in the Northeast, and he does not feel novel.

It's not that he doesn't sleep well because of the snow, but because he works a lot and sleeps late.

When Li Shengyao heard this, he took the schedule, and then pointed out a few things to be modified, and then said: "Generally speaking, there is no problem, your schedule is more comprehensive, more scientific, and more complete than the previous one, and you will be responsible for the filming of a film and television drama in the future, and you can decide how to shoot it yourself." ”

When Dapeng heard this, he was very happy.

He turned his gaze, he didn't see Bi Gan and Wen Muye, he was a little lost, this kind of thing should be enjoyable for those two to hear.

At this time, a field worker in front of him played and stretched.

Dapeng noticed that Li Shengyao was in good spirits, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, on such a cold day, the field workers were listless, why was Li Shengyao so energetic.

He couldn't help but glance at Li Shengyao, and then hurriedly turned his gaze away.

"What's wrong?"

Li Shengyao felt Dapeng's movements, so he asked.

"Director, you...... Do you watch the news on the web? ”

Although Dapeng arranged for someone to make an official account of the crew of "Dalian by the Sea", from time to time to put some small news and interesting pictures of the crew.

And Li Shengyao arranged for the Fenghua Navy to hype "Dalian by the Sea" on the Internet.

However, Zhang Songwen is a small role, and Lu Han is the top in the Korean circle, and his reputation among passers-by is not good.

There is still a lot of negative news on the Internet about "Dalian by the Sea".

To a certain extent, such news has affected the enthusiasm of some field workers and actors.

Dapeng felt that some people in the crew of "Dalian by the Sea" were not so excited about doing things.

Of course, there may also be weather reasons.

In short, some people don't feel the need to be so serious, they think it's almost enough.

Li Shengyao said that after competing for the best actor in Europe, more people are optimistic about "Three Billboards", and they believe in Zhang Manyu more than "Dalian by the Sea", which is dominated by Zhang Songwen and Lu Han.

Dapeng is not very optimistic about "Dalian by the Sea", and Li Shengyao is so enthusiastic, which makes him a little surprised.

He was eager to know why.

He previously produced the season of "Diao Si Man 12", although there were not many episodes, but Dapeng obviously felt that by the time of the second season, he was already a little unmotivated.

He wants to know how Li Shengyao maintains his enthusiasm for creation under the current public opinion.

Li Shengyao nodded, "I know something." ”

"Director, don't you really think about surprises?"

"I don't care."

"So you have made so many films, including such excellent films as "1937" and "Parasite", how do you maintain your creative passion for "Dalian by the Sea"."

When the words fell, Dapeng looked at Li Shengyao with some weakness.

He always thought that he liked movies and wanted to create excellent works, but he only made two seasons of "Diao Si Man" before he entered a period of exhaustion.

When Li Shengyao heard this, he thought about it and understood what Dapeng meant, so he smiled and said, "I have very low requirements for other things.

It was like accommodation, 5 and 3 stars were about the same in my eyes.

And in terms of food, big hotels and roadside stalls are similar to me.

Even the same is true for mobile phones, which I use now are very average.

These things can be done.

There are only movies, I want to be the best I can be, and I will do my best, for the specific reason, probably because I like it. ”

Hearing this, Dapeng nodded thoughtfully.

For the first time, he felt that he might not like movies as much as he imagined, at least compared to Lee Shengyao, it was still not enough.

In addition to being a director himself, he actually has the idea of being an actor.

He even made a scene of fans screaming wildly in the spotlight.

Perhaps he prefers to be embraced and liked.

Soon after, the bus arrived on the set.

The field workers got out of the car and began to prepare.

Li Shengyao and Dapeng also got out of the car, and Dapeng commanded the workers to do things.

Li Shengyao wore a woolen hat, and then put his hands in his pockets, in the cold wind, observing left and right, walking back and forth, he had to move in advance, to observe how to shoot more effectively.

By the time the actors arrived, Lee had been on the set for 40 minutes, and he kept walking, and his body was much warmer.

Lu Han and Zhang Songwen came to the set, and then began to put on makeup.

Li Shengyao called Dapeng, "Prepare some hot soup, or hot coffee, hot milk tea, and hot fan." ”

When shooting outdoors, there is no way to provide heating, so you can only build a shed to block the cold air, and then use a hot fan to keep warm.

Li Shengyao also arranged these hot drinks, which is very generous.

"Whether it's an actor or a field worker, you must pay attention to your body, keep an eye on the point, and let them pay attention to keeping warm."

Dapeng nodded repeatedly.

After the actors put on makeup, Li Shengyao took the actors to their positions, told them about the play, answered some questions from the actors, and analyzed and discussed the next performance method with the actors.

Whether it is Zhang Songwen or Lu Han, he is very serious.

After lunch, Li Shengyao also got together with Lu Han and Zhang Songwen to study the afternoon performance.

Dapeng has been paying attention to Li Shengyao, and he realized at this time that not only is his love for movies not as good as Li Shengyao, but he is not as diligent as Li Shengyao.

When he was filming "Dick Silk Man 12", he was not as desperate as Li Shengyao is now.

Li Shengyao didn't know what Dapeng was thinking, he was chatting with Lu Han and Zhang Songwen, sharing his views on "Dalian by the Sea".

There was no lunch break, and after the creators finished chatting, they immediately started work and continued filming in the morning.

Before going to participate in the Golden Rooster Award and Huabiao Awards, he was delayed for a lot of time, and Li Shengyao always hoped to complete the shooting on the set efficiently.

Lu Han is even better than he imagined, and this top-notch acting talent is passable.

Zhang Songwen is a powerful faction, and his performance is even better.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was no NG, only two shots, Lu Han and Zhang Songwen successfully completed the shooting.

The field workers thought that they could transfer the scene and go to film an indoor scene, but Li Shengyao did not agree, he waved his hand, "Wait a minute, let's talk about it in twenty minutes." ”

Seeing Lu Han and Zhang Songwen's performances just now, Li Shengyao always had a feeling that he felt that he had forgotten something important.

Dapeng ran over, "Director, what's wrong?" ”

The cold wind was blowing, and the sky was still snowy.

Snowflakes are like carved ice grains, crystal clear.

Li Shengyao stretched out his hand, looked at a few snowflakes in his palm, and frowned slightly.

After standing for almost twenty minutes, the workers talked in a low voice, and Li Shengyao remembered what he had overlooked.

"Dapeng, do you think Zhang Songwen is doing well?"

"It's very good, I didn't watch much of his plays before, but now I think he is a good actor, his acting skills are very strong, at his age, his acting skills are absolutely top-notch, better than those famous actors."

Li Shengyao shook his head, "It's not enough, it's not good enough." ”

It was not until this time that Li Shengyao suddenly realized that Zhang Songwen's performance was not good enough.

He hopes that Zhang Songwen can rely on "Dalian by the Sea" to compete for the best actor, just like "Manchester by the Sea" actor Cassie. Like Affleck, he won several actors.

And although Zhang Songwen's current performance is good, it is very solid and complete at first glance, but the interpretation is still not profound enough and not charming enough.

Like Cassie in "Manchester by the Sea". Affleck, who won the Oscar for Best Actor in one fell swoop,

This guy is completely integrated into this role, as if he is the male protagonist who killed his own child, as if he is the person who has been depressed for a few years and still can't come out.

And Zhang Songwen didn't give Li Shengyao such a feeling, his performance was not profound enough.

may be good compared with the performance of ordinary film and television dramas, but it has not reached the height that Li Shengyao wants.

When Dapeng heard this, he was stunned for a while.

He felt that Zhang Songwen's performance was good, and this level was already very good, which was unexpected.

After all, young actors have limited talent, and you can't ask too much.

Could it be that Li Shengyao really thinks that Zhang Songwen has the power to compete for the three major European actors?

"Director, isn't it okay?"

"Not yet, I'm going to talk to him."

In the evening, the crew and actors returned to the hotel, and Li Shengyao found Zhang Songwen again, still in the conference room of the hotel.

But last time Lu Han was there, this time Lu Han was not there.

Zhang Songwen has changed into the clothes he usually wears, and he looks a little ordinary, just like an ordinary passerby, his appearance and figure are not outstanding.

He entered the conference room, smiling and looking into Li Shengyao's eyes, but not imposing.

There is far no drama maniac, and there is no feeling of old drama bones.

Li Shengyao looked at Zhang Songwen and suddenly understood something.

Although Zhang Songwen did not show it, he actually had some inferiority, he had auditioned more than 300 times and failed for more than two years in a row, which made Zhang Songwen not confident enough, he did not completely release himself, he was not 100% invested in the performance, and there was not enough "self-forgetfulness".

"Teacher Zhang, I want to apologize to you, there is one thing that I didn't find out in advance."

"Director Li, you don't have to be polite to me, what are you talking about."

"Your performance in the first few days has not reached the level I expected, and it is still not good enough, I just found out that you have not completely let go of acting until now."

When Zhang Songwen heard this, he looked at Li Shengyao in a daze, and subconsciously asked, "Director Li, isn't it enough?" ”

"Not enough, I need you to be more committed and 100% immersed in the role."

Hearing this, Zhang Songwen nodded with a wry smile.

As a professional actor, he himself has long felt this way, he has been trying to adjust, but he always feels that there are shortcomings, and he is also troubled by this.

"Director, I don't know what's going on, but I'll think about it seriously."

Li Shengyao nodded, he felt that it was a matter of confidence, because of his previous encounters, Zhang Songwen at this time did not have enough faith and had reservations when he was performing.

He planned to pour a few bowls of chicken soup for Zhang Songwen.

"Mr. Zhang, do you remember the last time we talked here?

I said I believe in you very much, and I chose you because I think you are suitable, and you have to have that confidence. ”

"I ......"

Confidence is generally piled up with excellent grades.

And Zhang Songwen has not had such an experience, he has neither been recognized by the audience nor recognized by industry awards.

Li Shengyao continued: "This afternoon, everyone thinks it's okay, we're going to transfer, at that time I didn't think it was okay, I didn't figure out what couldn't be done at first, but then I remembered that your performance was not bad, but it was not enough to impact the actor."

This time for the Golden Rooster Awards, Liang Jiahui won the best actor by relying on "Parasite".

I hope that "Dalian by the Sea" starring you, even if you can't get the three major European actors, you can still win the Golden Rooster Award.

Understand my requirements? To the extent of Best Actor, your performance is not enough. ”

Zhang Songwen's eyes widened in disbelief, "Director, do you want me to hit the best actor?"

"Yes, I hope you can win a Best Actor, I think you have the strength, I want you to unleash your potential and burst out all your energy.

At the same time, I will have high requirements for you and urge you with the standards of actors. ”

"Can I really?"

Zhang Songwen still feels mysterious.

"You can, you think about it, 100% dedicated, 100% free, and do your best."

When Zhang Songwen heard this, he still felt confused, but Li Shengyao's status was there, and Director Li was so optimistic about him, which made him very excited.

"Director, I will play well and will not disappoint you."

"Okay, from eight to ten o'clock in the evening, I'll play against me."
