China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

In Beijing, Wu Yuchen has already asked the company to prepare the crew. The filming location of the movie Love is very simple, mainly in the apartment where the old couple lives, so before leaving, he had asked the assistant director to find a house with a lively atmosphere and warm decoration.

Mrs. Wang Danfeng also followed him back to the capital. She offered to communicate with the male protagonist Ge Cunzhuang in advance. After all, the two of them were playing an old couple, and the movie also had to film some of their daily lives. There must be a certain kind of atmosphere. There is a tacit understanding, and they need to discuss some details of their daily habits in advance, so as not to find out that something doesn't feel right when they temporarily join the group for filming.

At this time, Gong Li also put down the script of Love. The script was excellent, but it was a pity that she was given too few roles in this role, and there was not much room for her to play.

At the same time, she looked at another script on the table, Pretty Mom. What a coincidence this time, one asked her to raise a daughter, and the other asked her to play the mother. Compared to the previous ones, in this Pretty Mom ​​she is completely the leading female lead, and she is the heroine. The whole movie revolves around her.

Looking at these two scripts, Gong Li's choice is of course... want them all!

Beautiful Mom ​​can be pushed back, but she doesn't have that many scenes in Love anyway. And this is Wu Yuchen, so it’s okay to delay it for an extra month or two, it’s worth it!

When Wu Yuchen hung up the phone, he also smiled. There are three main characters in the movie Love, an old couple and their daughter. Of course, the daughter's role is a supporting role in comparison.

Wu Yuchen never considered letting Jiang Qinqin or other women around him play the role of his daughter. For two daughters who look like 70 or 80-year-old men, you can't find someone in their twenties to play the role, right? What a show.

In fact, this time Gong Li also had to pretend to be about 10 years older, almost 40 years old. In fact, there are many actresses suitable for this role, so Wu Yuchen was not worried at all at first, but it would not be a pity to leave Gong Huang here!

This time Wu Yuchen did not hide his preparation for the new movie, so it attracted people from all walks of life to inquire about the news. However, after hearing that the movie was about the elderly, and even Gong Li could only play a small supporting role, everyone was confused. It's a sigh.

Now Wu Yuchen's projects are absolutely popular. As a director who can win awards and commercial box office, he is more attractive than Chen Kaizi at the beginning. As long as he can participate, even a supporting role can be considered a good deal. qualifications.

Just as Wu Yuchen was getting ready for the crew and letting Wang Danfeng and Ge Cunzhuang develop a tacit understanding, he received another news that the casting of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon had ended.

Wu Yuchen looked at Zeng Li's tired face and went over to hold her face and caress it: Lizi, are you okay?

Zeng Li shook his head: I just feel a little empty after practicing for a few months and then losing the selection...

Regarding this defeat, Zeng Li felt a little complicated. After all, it was her classmate and roommate Zhang Ziyi who was chosen by Li An in the end, and she was directly defeated by the opponent.

Wu Yuchen probably understood this emotion, which was similar to fearing that his brothers would suffer but also fearing that they would drive a Land Rover. He patted Zeng Li gently and said, It doesn't matter. Not every role is suitable. Just do your best.

Zeng Li didn't say anything after hearing this. Then she rested her head on Wu Yuchen's shoulder and said, Actually, I felt before that Director Li would choose Ziyi.

Um?

Every time Ziyi trains, it's as if she is risking her life. Half a month ago, Ziyi was sparring with her instructor. As a result, her hand touched the opponent's sword and one of her nails was cut off. She didn't say a word. She shouted and wanted to continue, and the coach was frightened by her. When I saw it, I knew that I was not as good as her... Zeng Li murmured.

Wu Yuchen sighed inwardly after listening to Zeng Li's words. As expected of the International Chapter, it’s so cruel!

And what Yu Jiaolong wants is this kind of fierceness. I don't blame Li An for choosing her. Wu Yuchen heard Zeng Li describe it like this, and if he had chosen Zhang Ziyi.

In the previous life Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Zhang Ziyi's performance was very brilliant. Her style completely overshadowed the other heroine Yang Ziqiong. Even Zhou Runfa couldn't suppress her sharp spirit. Even Li An said afterward. It was Zhang Ziyi who created Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Wu Yuchen kissed her gently on the side of her face and comforted her in her ear: You don't have to compete with her. Everyone has their own path. Do you think you have gained anything from this training camp?

Zeng Li nodded and trained for several months, receiving advice from Li An from time to time. Naturally, the harvest was not small: I want to go back to school and stay for a while.

Looking at her state, Wu Yuchen also knew that she would be exhausted physically and mentally after her strings were loosened. It was better to go back to school to calm down and settle down. Then he would not arrange any projects for her and wait for her to calm down. . And it seems that The Mansion Gate will be released soon. I wonder if she will have to follow the Mansion Gate crew to run a show next.

The next day, Wu Yuchen came to Li Xiaoran again. At this time, Li Xiaoran was sitting in front of the computer, concentrating on clicking the mouse and pressing the keyboard to play StarCraft.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, but within half a moment he was pushed flat by the Zerg army of computers. Li Xiaoran was so angry that he pouted and slapped the keyboard and cursed: What is this! How come you are growing so much faster than me! The computer is cheating!

Seeing her like this, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but smile and asked: Seeing you like this makes me feel relieved!

Li Xiaoran couldn't help but get up and take a drink of water, acting as if he didn't care: What are you worried about? It's just a movie, isn't it? It's not your movie!

Wu Yuchen asked with a smile: You really don't care?

After practicing hard for several months, she felt that Li An still liked her, but in the end she lost the election, and Li Xiaoran was naturally unwilling to accept it. When asked by Wu Yuchen, he stopped pretending and complained:

That Zhang Ziyi is just a lunatic, a second female lead, what kind of fate is she playing with!

In the setting of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Yang Ziqiong's Yu Xiulian is the female lead, and Yu Jiaolong is the second female lead. In the end, Zhang Ziyi seemed to have given up her life just for this second female lead. She had recruited several people and was not selected in the end, which made Li Xiaoran, who was a bit lazy by nature, quite complain.

Wu Yuchen thought for a while and asked: Sister Ran Ran, what are your next thoughts?

Li Xiaoran pinched his waist: Let's play the game for half a month before we talk!

Wu Yuchen smiled and shook his head. Come on, there is no need to comfort her himself. There are games around, and my self-regulation ability is extremely strong!

Half a month is not long, so I can give her a chance to introduce him.

Wu Yuchen asked: Sister Ran Ran, do you want to act in a comedy?

Comedy? Like The Donkey Gets Water? Li Xiaoran immediately hugged Wu Yuchen's arm and asked.

Wu Yuchen waved his hand: No, it's just a funny comedy, like a New Year's movie.

When Li Xiaoran heard about the New Year film, he reacted quickly: Feng Xiaogang?

Yes, he is preparing for the new movie Endless. If you want to play the role, I will push you over, the heroine.

Li Xiaoran thought for a while and thought it would be good to shoot a comedy to change his mood, so he nodded.

Wu Yuchen didn't waste any time and called Feng Xiaogang directly.

Hey, Director Wu, you sent me the Golden Horse Best Actress to be the heroine. I really want it! Xiaoran grew up in the capital, so she is just right for my movie. She is a perfect candidate!

Then thank you, Director Feng. Please take good care of you and Teacher Ge after Xiaoran joins the group~

The heroine of Endless in the previous life was originally Wu Qianlian. The producers wanted to add a Hong Kong and Taiwan star to attract the audience. However, it was obvious that not only did it not achieve the effect, but Wu Qianlian also did not integrate into the atmosphere of this Beijing-style comedy. , the whole film seems a bit out of place.

Now after a phone call from Wu Yuchen, he changed the heroine to Li Xiaoran. Anyway, he thought the effect should be better than Wu Qianlian.

…

In the performance hall, a young man on the stage finished his piano solo and stood up to salute below. An old couple also applauded along with the audience, showing heartfelt smiles and being happy for the students.

Backstage, they hugged students, chatted with some of their peers and friends, and were praised for nurturing another outstanding musician.

After walking out of the concert hall, the old couple were dressed in cashmere coats and bowler hats, and the old lady was carrying a small bag. They chatted casually about the students just now while walking, which showed that they were a well-educated and tasteful couple. As an old couple, the old man will praise his wife humorously, causing her to smile sweetly, which is warm and beautiful.

Excellent! Very good. The temperament of both teachers is on point~

Wu Yuchen praised that the selection of people this time was indeed correct. A decent and well-educated old couple appeared in the camera, and this tacit understanding and warmth gave people a sense of tranquility and comfort that has passed through the years.

What he is filming now is the beginning of the movie, which shows the ordinary and simple beautiful life of a retired couple supporting each other, which makes many people yearn for it and feel that this is the ideal state that everyone pursues when they grow old. A typical example of suppressing desire and then promoting it, paving the way for the follow-up.

The filming of this movie was not complicated, so Wu Yuchen also adopted a completely sequential shooting method, which is more conducive to the emotional changes of the actors.

At this time, Huang Lei came over and asked Wu Yuchen, Director Wu, how was I just now?

That's right, this time Wu Yuchen invited Huang Lei to play the role of the old couple's musician students, and he was the one who played on the stage just now. Huang Lei is not greasy now, and he has a literary youthful temperament, which makes him very suitable for this role.

His character can be said to be the second male lead, and there is a scene later in which an old lady comes to visit after being paralyzed, but this scene and the room for performance are relatively small.

Although the focus of the play was not on him, Wu Yuchen still praised Huang Lei: Elegant and calm!

Hearing what Wu Yuchen said, Huang Lei also became happy. He has watched Wu Yuchen grow up all the way, from a student in his class to an internationally renowned director who won the Golden Bear and dominated Hollywood.

In the meantime, Huang Lei actually wanted to play Wu Yuchen's role, but unfortunately he either missed it or there was no role that suited him very well. This time, I thought of him in Wu Yuchen's Oscar-winning film, so I finally collaborated with him to play a supporting role.

Wu Yuchen reminded Huang Lei again: Teacher Huang, your next scene is more important, especially your eyes, which must be seen by the audience at a glance.

Don't worry, we won't be held back! Huang Lei assured.

…

Dad, do you want my help?

No, you are so busy at work, how many days can you stay at home? There is nothing you can do across the Pacific Ocean. Ge Cunzhuang waved his hand.

Gong Li opened her mouth, but couldn't say what she wanted to say. This time she heard that her mother had suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, so she asked for leave to come back from the United States to visit. But as her father said, it was not easy for her to work hard in the United States, and she couldn't stay long at all.

Ge Cunzhuang looked away from Gong Li, then raised his eyelids after a moment and said, When your mother is discharged from the hospital in a few days, you can go. We can take care of ourselves. If not, we can hire a nanny.

Gong Li nodded, and then chatted with her father about her children and other things, just like an ordinary father and daughter.

…

Action!

Ge Cunzhuang opened the door and saw Huang Lei, his and his wife's favorite protégé, standing outside. He couldn't help but look happy: Xiao Lei, why are you here? Come in quickly~

Huang Lei said with a smile: Teacher, no one answered my calls to you before. Now that I'm back from this tour, I want to visit you again!

Huang Lei also held a bouquet of flowers in his hand: This is for Teacher Wang. I know she likes jasmine the most!

Thank you, Xiao Lei, you are thoughtful~ Ge Cunzhuang led Huang Lei into the house.

After Huang Lei entered the living room and saw that Wang Danfeng was not there, he asked curiously: Isn't Teacher Wang here?

Ge Cunzhuang paused: Oh, yes, she is inside the house.

Huang Lei bowed and said embarrassedly, I'm disturbing your rest!

I'll put the flowers up first and then tell you, Teacher Wang. Ge Cunzhuang hesitated and said.

Huang Lei sat in the living room for a while, waiting left and right for no one to come out, but his good upbringing prevented him from moving around. He just kept looking around and looking at various things in the house.

Then he heard a click of the door opening. Huang Lei stood up immediately with a bright smile on his face to greet his teacher. However, he only saw Ge Cunzhuang pushing a wheelchair, and the old lady in the wheelchair was his beloved. Teacher Wang.

For a moment, the smile on Huang Lei's face froze, and he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. Before he could speak, the old lady showed her usual elegant smile: Xiao Lei, I'm so glad to see you here!

Huang Lei let the frozen smile on his face continue, then became bright again, and politely replied: Hello, Teacher Wang!

The old lady smiled and said: Sit down quickly, don't be so sullen, just be more casual when you come home.

Then the old lady took the initiative to initiate the conversation, asking about his concert tour and whether he would release a record in the future. She also said that she would buy it when the time came to support him.

Huang Lei always maintained a decent smile when replying to the teacher's words, but it could be seen that he had always been very restrained, with sadness and sadness in his eyes from time to time.

In the end, the smile on Huang Lei's face faded, and he couldn't help but ask with concern: What's wrong with your health?

The air froze for a moment, Ge Cunzhuang lowered his head, but Wang Danfeng still maintained a smile and said with force: It's just that the right half of the body is paralyzed. That's what happens when people get old.

How...

Huang Lei wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted directly by Wang Danfeng: Can we talk about something else?

Obviously, the old lady couldn't stand the students' eyes, which showed sadness, sorrow, pity, and sympathy. Even though these were well-intentioned, she had a strong self-esteem and didn't want her to see these in the eyes of others.

Ah, okay, of course...

Huang Lei noticed the teacher's mood and immediately shrank back to show that he meant no offense.

Xiao Lei, can you play another piano piece in G minor for me?

Afterwards, Huang Lei played a song affectionately. Amidst the sound of the piano, he also understood that facing his once tall and majestic teacher, the lady who had always been elegant and charming in his impression, he did not need too many words, he only needed to play a piece of music that the teacher once taught him. Kindness at its best.

Respect is not about tearing open the wounds of illness in the name of care, but about closing the wounds with a warmth that can be felt by each other.

Pass!

When Huang Lei came over, Wu Yuchen gave him a thumbs up: Teacher Huang, this performance is very good, the mood and scale are well grasped!

Huang Lei is the focus of this scene, which is to let the audience further understand the heroine's inner feelings through his emotional changes.

Haha, if I can say hello to you, my trip will not be in vain!

Huang Lei has been thinking about such a short scene for half a month. He has done it both as a teacher and a student, so he has fully explored the emotions in it.
