"East Side Mist" tells a story in the Republic of China period. The protagonist Ning Shen is a reporter who chases celebrity anecdotes on weekdays and occasionally goes to dance halls to drink and dance. He is a typical playboy. However, no one knows that his true identity is the underground party liaison Red Heart K that the Japanese army has always wanted to catch. At the same time, the Japanese army's spy Urano Soji who has been lurking in China also entered Dongjiang under the pseudonym Chang Ye. A battle between good and evil is about to break out.

In this drama, Guo Wenyuan plays the protagonist Ning Shen, a lazy but righteous man, while Song Yimian plays Urano Soji, who looks shy and elegant but is actually ruthless and scheming. The contrast between the two is huge, and the battle of wits and courage in the play is very exciting.

After joining the crew, the two of them shot their own shots at the beginning, and the crew was divided into two groups A and B to shoot at the same time.

Director Shao Ning was filming Guo Wenyuan's A group at first, but after two days of filming, he went to B group to see the filming results. After watching, he became extremely excited: "Mr. Guo, we have found a treasure this time! Song Yimian is simply Urano Soji himself!"

Guo Wenyuan knew that Song Yimian's acting skills were good, especially when he was studying in the "Red Actress" crew before, he improved very quickly, and later he received Pei Ran's teachings. Guo Wenyuan also wanted to know how much he had improved, but the two of them were filming in different groups and could not see it. Now he heard Shao Ning say this, he became even more curious.

Fortunately, this heart-wrenching feeling did not last too long. A week later, the two had their first scene against each other.

Guo Wenyuan wore a baggy shirt, plaid pants, a camera bag on his shoulder, and a pancake in one hand, perfectly portraying Ning Shen's cynical look.

At this time, a tram passed in front of him. Ning Shen hurriedly stopped and ran onto the tram in two steps. However, he didn't notice that he hit the pancake on a student standing next to him.

This student was Chang Ye played by Song Yimian.

Ning Shen quickly patted him with his other hand: "I'm sorry, classmate. Hey, this is all stained with oil. I'll buy you a new piece of clothes after we get off the bus."

Chang Ye took a half step back calmly, but a smile appeared on his face: "It's okay."

Ning Shen said carelessly: "It does matter! I tell you, this shirt can't be washed clean if it's stained with oil. I see that the cuffs of your clothes are a bit old, so just take this opportunity to buy a new one. I'll pay for you, don't save me money."

Chang Ye frowned slightly and emphasized his tone: "Really, no need. "

Ning Shen seemed a little dissatisfied: "What's wrong with you, student? I, Young Master Ning, have always been daring and responsible, but I can't let this little thing ruin my reputation."

Chang Ye didn't expect him to be so difficult. When he was about to refuse, the other party leaned over and took a look at the book in his hand: "Oh, your name is Chang Ye!"

Chang Ye: "..."

Ning Shen smiled and took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him: "Take it. Whenever you want to buy clothes, you can come to the East City Daily to find me."

Chang Ye curled the corners of his mouth perfunctorily, took his business card and got off the car.

Ning Shen, who was standing in the car, looked at his back, stroking his bag with his fingers, and murmured in a low voice: "Chang Ye, is that you?"

At this time, Shao Ning called out "Ka".

Guo Wenyuan put aside the expression on his face, got off the tram and went to watch the replay next to Shao Ning.

Song Yimian was a step behind because he was farther away.

When he came over, he found that Guo Wenyuan and Shao Ning were both looking at the monitor with serious expressions, and neither of them said a word. Song Yimian was startled and asked carefully: "Mr. Guo, Director Shao, is there...any problem with the filming?"

Shao Ning raised his head: "No, it was filmed very well, it's passed this time, you just need to touch up the makeup and add a few more shots later."

Song Yimian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Guo Wenyuan again.

Guo Wenyuan snorted and patted Song Yimian on the shoulder: "Okay, you grasped the character very well, and even the sense of camera is better than before. You must have done a lot of homework, right?"

Song Yimian scratched his head, looking a little shy, but also happy: "Well, I later looked for some similar roles and figured out the acting skills of the teachers. Then I found documentaries and imitated some small movements. In addition, Pei Ran also taught me a lot. I feel that I am much more proficient than before."

Shao Ning asked curiously: "Pei Ran "Ran?"

Guo Wenyuan explained casually: "It's not the Pei Ran you imagined, it's..." He thought for a moment, then said, "He is your colleague."

Shao Ning showed an eager expression when he heard it: "Then I must ask him for advice if I have the chance."

Shao Ning had seen Song Yimian's audition before, although it was not bad, but it was completely different from now. If he became like this and was a colleague named Pei Ran, then the other party's ability would definitely not be bad, after all, training actors is also one of the director's jobs.

However, Guo Wenyuan and Song Yimian looked at him with strange eyes.

Shao Ning wondered, "What's wrong? Doesn't he like others asking him for advice?"

Guo Wenyuan: "That's not the case. - But he prefers another kind of advice."

Shao Ning: "???"

Song Yimian added, "Pei Ran is very good at Kung Fu, Director Shao, you have to be careful."

Shao Ning didn't take it seriously and said proudly, "I have learned Taekwondo since I was a child, and I am already a third-degree black martial artist. Even if it comes to Kung Fu, I'm not bad."

Guo Wenyuan looked at him pitifully and said, "Then wait until you finish directing "East Side Mist" before going to ask someone for 'advice'."

Shao Ning: "Why?"

Guo Wenyuan said coldly and cruelly, "Because the crew has limited funds and doesn't want to pay for your medical expenses."

Shao Ning: "..."

——While

the filming of "East Side Mist" was in full swing, Pei Ran had already discussed the rough outline

of the script with Yang Yizhou and Tang Tang. Yang Yizhou is indeed one of the top screenwriters in the country. The outline alone shows how wonderful the script is. With the brainstorming of Tang Tang and Pei Ran, it was enough to impress the investors.

However, there are currently only two investors in this movie, Shen Huai and Guo Wenyuan, and both of them trust Pei Ran. Guo Wenyuan originally wanted to invest in the name of Guanrui, but who would have thought that Sheng Er would directly push him back at the board meeting. In addition, although this play has a big boss like Yang Yizhou, Pei Ran is a complete newcomer after all, which made Guo Wenyuan embarrassed.

Guo Wenyuan was so angry that he directly used his own company to invest.

The investment amounts of both of them were not low, and Pei Ran was not making a big movie, so the budget was not large, so he did not plan to look for other investors.

Yang Yizhou originally just wanted to complete the task of the Film Association, and because he was interested in Pei Ran, he took the job of screenwriter.

He didn't expect that after starting to work, Pei Ran and Tang Tang were not like the screenwriters he had taught before. If they had any questions, they would immediately raise them. Although they were very polite, the questions were very sharp. Yang Yizhou also became more serious and nervous in this situation, which made him feel the enthusiasm when he first entered this industry.

The three of them finished their discussion, and Tang Tang volunteered to go make tea for them. Yang Yizhou stretched his body, looked at Pei Ran's beautiful profile that didn't look like a real person, and couldn't help asking: "I see that you know a lot about the Hong Kong martial arts industry in that era. Considering your age, that era is too far away for you."

Pei Ran didn't even blink: "I watched a lot of movies from that time when I was a kid, and I was very interested, so I went to look up some information, but it was all just talk on paper."

Yang Yizhou was still a little skeptical, With a smile, he asked: "Are you familiar with Mr. Shen and Mr. Guo? They invested so much money without blinking an eye. This trust is so rare. This is the first time I see a new director who can attract investment so easily."

Pei Ran raised his head and showed a faint smile: "I am also very grateful to Mr. Shen and Mr. Guo, and you. I will always remember your kindness to me."

Pei Ran's answer was flawless. Yang Yizhou curled his lips in boredom and was too lazy to ask further. Anyway, no matter what, as long as the film is good, it will be fine.

In this regard, Pei Ran's current performance is very good. After

a few people drank some tea and discussed for a while, Pei Ran received a call from Shen Huai.

He said something to the two of them and walked out of the room to answer the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, Shen Huai didn't say hello and spoke directly: "One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Pei Ran raised his eyebrows slightly. Shen Huai used to be such a stable person, but he became more and more crooked under Ye Cang's influence.

He didn't think about it and said directly: "Bad news."

Shen Huai said: "The bad news is that Guanrui also wants to participate in the film association's plan to train new talents. It is said that they have already determined the selected movies. The screenwriter is also a top screenwriter in the industry. The leading actor is the previous movie emperor Fu Cheng. This will be your strongest opponent."

Pei Ran didn't even move his eyebrows, and then asked: "What about the good news?"

Shen Huai: "I haven't found a suitable photographer before, and now I finally have some clues."

Pei Ran did not show a happy expression, but asked back: "It seems that this clue is not a simple matter, otherwise you should have signed the person a long time ago."

Shen Huai sighed: "You are right. This person is Yi "I was introduced to him by my husband. He was a very good photographer in his early years. Later, he got into trouble and couldn't make it in the industry, so he switched to making documentaries. At that time, he said that he would never come back to make movies. In recent years, his documentaries have won many awards at the international level. He has both fame and status. Money can't impress him at all."

Pei Ran listened to Shen Huai's description, but a name popped up in his mind: "Cen Shu."

Shen Huai was stunned: "Do you know him?"

When Pei Ran was in the soul state, he had watched Cen Shu's documentary in the lounge of the Xiangjiang Sports Center. It must be said that Cen Shu is indeed very talented. His control of color and light and shadow is simply genius. This left a deep impression on Pei Ran, and he can't forget it until today.

Shen Huai did not ask in detail, but just said: "I found an intermediary to contact him and arranged a time to meet, but Cen Shu has a weird personality and is famous for his insistence. I am not sure I can convince him at all."

Shen Huai was also helpless. The moment he saw Cen Shu's film, he realized that he was very suitable for Pei Ran's crew. It was a pity that Cen Shu was too stubborn, so he could only do his best.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ran, who had not responded, suddenly said: "I will go with you."

Shen Huai was stunned: "Can you convince him?"

"I don't know." Pei Ran answered honestly, "But I know that our crew must have him."
