A few days later, a piece of news swept the Internet:
【It is reported that the new film directed by Jia Binrui is about to start filming. "National Baby" Xie Youran has confirmed to play the leading role, and "Triple Golden Award winner" Xie Yan will also join. According to reliable sources, the father and daughter will have many rival scenes in the film. It is the first time that the two Xies will appear on the big screen together. What kind of sparks will they create? Let's wait and see. 】
As soon as the relevant reports came out, the number of clicks, comments and reposts increased at a rocket-like speed. Xie Yan and Su Youran dominated the hot searches for the Nth time:
#Xie Yan and the princess co-starred in a movie#
#Jia Binrui's new movie#
#Father and daughter duo is coming soon#
#After five years, the princess comes out again#
#Finally wait for you#
#God-level partner#
Netizens, whether fans or ordinary passers-by, have great expectations for this movie:
"Ahhhh, what did I see?! Really? Really? Someone pinch me!"
"When the news first came out, I almost thought today was April Fools' Day... I wouldn't even dare to dream of that!"
"Best Director + Youngest International Film Queen + Grand Slam winner of Best Actor = God-level movie guaranteed!!"
"A pure passerby, this lineup... I can only say it's awesome!"
"I declare that from today on, Director Jia is the benefactor of my entire family! You! Are! God!"
"Hahaha, it's Chinese New Year! Our princess is finally making a movie again! When will it be released? I can't wait to see it!"
"There was news before that Director Jia was preparing a new movie. He waited for two years for the princess to agree to participate. I was thinking that the current yxh would dare to make up anything for the sake of publicity. I didn't expect it to be true??"
"Waited for two years? Oh my god, I can only say... Director Jia, well done!!"
"Such a luxurious configuration shows that Director Jia is planning something big!"
"If we start shooting at this time, after the post-production is completed... can we catch up with that?"
"Haha, fans don't dare to say it, but I can say it for you! If nothing unexpected happens, you can definitely make it to the Berlin Film Festival. If everything goes well, you can bring back a few more trophies. If you can win the Best Actress award, your princess will become the first person in history to win the Best Actress Grand Slam at the three major international film festivals!!"
"No, no, no, fans don't dare to think that way. As long as they can see the princess on the big screen, it's fine... Don't go for the loan, fans are timid and can't stand being scared..."
"What is there to be afraid of? Your princess's current achievements are unprecedented and may not be surpassed in the future. It would be great to have another Berlin trophy, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't have one. Anyway, I don't believe that such a lineup can still fail! Be bolder, be bolder! Show the confidence of our national treasure!"
“Hahaha this is really funny, passers-by have more confidence than fans!”
The chaos on the Internet had no effect on Xie Yan and Su Youran.
In fact, before the news was released, Jia Binrui had already held a low-key opening ceremony. Now the two have officially joined the crew and started their busy filming life.
Just as netizens speculated, Jia Binrui has big plans this time.
If he still had some concerns before, then after having a great treasure like Su Youran in his hands and even the supporting actor is an award-winning actor of Xie Yan's level, and even more so, the investment has increased several times, our Director Jia has completely "floated".
What is there to worry about? This movie will definitely become another milestone in his directorial career!
Once the goal was determined, Jia Binrui realized that time was running out. In order to leave enough time for post-production, he arranged a tight schedule for the shooting.
Fortunately, the leading actress, Su Youran, is very talented in acting and can basically get it right in one take. Even if she had to shoot a few more takes as a backup in order to achieve perfection, she was still able to complete the task in excess.
The crew almost never had to work overtime, which made the staff, who already had a good impression of Su Youran, like her even more.
Although the leading actor Lin Guanghe’s achievements are not as great as Xie Yan’s, the fact that he was chosen by Jia Binrui proves that he definitely has good acting skills.
With Xie Yan's occasional guidance, the team made rapid progress. The crew was thriving, which made Jia Binrui very happy.
I've shot so many movies, but none of them went as smoothly as this one.
Maybe things were going too smoothly and God couldn't stand it, so he had to create some trouble for him.
Just look, after several days of rushing to shoot the film, one shot was NG five times today because of the non-cooperation of the extras.
"The one in yellow over there, you're just a bystander, just act surprised appropriately, but what's that expression on your face? Can you not be so dramatic?!"
On the huge set, the only sound was Jia Binrui's roar of anger.
Some of the actors looked worried, some looked excited about the show, and some were still nervously memorizing their lines.
There’s no way, there are too many talented people in this crew and the pressure is too great!
The staff were somewhat helpless and angry. Every time they reshoot, the props and scenes have to be rearranged, and they are the ones who are tired.
Surrounded by all kinds of gazes, Zhou Yan's face turned red. She stood stiffly in place, not daring to move.
She wanted attention, but definitely not in this way!
That day, she went to Xinghui with Mu Xiaoxing. Especially after seeing the glamour of the stars, Zhou Yan became more determined to enter the entertainment industry.
However, unlike what she had expected, that she would be discovered by a scout or agent, signed with Star Shine, and reach the peak of her life, her beautiful face, which she was so proud of, could only be considered average among the many artists of Star Shine, and did not attract the attention of the agents who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women.
Zhou Yan found the email address on the official website of Xinghui Entertainment and tried to send two emails, but still received no response.
She looked down upon other small and medium-sized entertainment companies. After seeing the heritage and style of large companies, how could she bear to stay in a small workshop?
Zhou Yan thought about it for a few days and could only start from other places. Fortunately, she had left the contact information of many people during the art exam. Some of them failed like her, while some were lucky enough to pass.
There are also many who come from families with some connections in the entertainment industry. Just recently, Zhou Yan heard that the crew of Jia Binrui's hottest drama is recruiting extras.
So she ran away from home alone, wandered around the crew for several days, and finally got the opportunity to participate in the show by getting in touch with a small boss.
But I didn't expect to encounter such a big setback in my first acting career and be scolded by the director in front of so many people!
Zhou Yan's face was burning with depression, embarrassment, awkwardness, and shame. All kinds of emotions flashed through her drooping eyes. She stood there frozen, not knowing what to do.
Su Youran sighed. This scene was about the heroine she played being wrongly accused and unable to defend herself.
There was nothing wrong with her performance. The reason she did it five times was because the extras watching around her were not expressing their emotions well enough.
Because of the powerful performance of many leading actors, Jia Binrui wanted to make a movie without any flaws, and his requirements for extras were greatly increased. If there was anything inappropriate, he would start over.
Su Youran had been patiently following along as they filmed over and over again, but now she couldn't help but show a hint of fatigue.
The emotions she had to portray in this scene went through a lot, from the shock and disbelief of being falsely accused at first, to her sadness, fear and loneliness that no one believed her, to her complete mental breakdown in the end. It was shot five times, and she portrayed it perfectly five times.
It’s not easy to build up emotions, and it’s even harder to get rid of them after filming. Even if she was very smart, Su Youran still felt exhausted after doing it over and over again.
Xie Yan had been standing aside, paying attention to Su Youran's expression. At this moment, his brows were furrowed. He took a few steps forward and said to Jia Binrui:
"Let's take a break first."
Only then did Jia Binrui notice the weariness between Su Youran's brows. He couldn't help but feel a little apologetic and waved his hand at the people around him:
"Ten minutes of rest!"
After that, he followed Xie Yan to Su Youran and asked with concern:
"Ran Ran, are you okay?"
Su Youran smiled and comforted them:
"It's okay. I just cried too much. I really can't accept this one. I should hold back a little bit."
Several assistants rushed over, some putting on clothes, some bringing water, some wiping sweat, and one stood beside her holding a large black umbrella.
The crowd couldn't help but utter envious voices:
"very nice……"
"This is really thoughtful..."
"As expected, the treatment of a movie queen is different. She is always surrounded by people. Do you see those tall and strong men over there? They are all her bodyguards!"
Some people sneered:
"Do you think all movie queens can be like this? How naive!"
Jia Binrui is a well-known director who is extremely strict with his actors. In his crew, there are no privileges and no one is allowed to act like a big shot.
There was once an actress who had just won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress. She was so proud of herself that she looked down on the makeup artist assigned by the crew and insisted on using her own makeup.
How did Jia Binrui do it?
She was fired from the crew and they announced that they would never work with her again!
What is his status? It is no exaggeration to say that he is at the top of the entertainment industry pyramid. If the actress offends him, you can imagine what will happen to her.
No crew dared to accept her again! So what if she is the best actress? Has Jia Binrui not worked with enough best actor and actress?
But look at the treatment of the young actress who is surrounded by so many people. Not to mention the makeup artist, even her three meals a day are prepared by a specially brought chef. Every time, it’s just her, Xie Yan and Jia Binrui eating together. Even the male lead doesn’t get that treatment!
The hotel was not arranged by the crew, and only Xie Yan knew where to stay. Although there were many assistants around her now, this did not include her clothing stylist, nutritionist and other various consultants.
Every time she came, was she not followed by eight or ten people?
If you try this kind of scene with someone else, it would be strange if Jia Binrui wasn't kicked out of the crew immediately!
Do you think this is just because she is an international film queen?
Wrong! The biggest reason is the huge background behind her!
The sneering people glanced at the handsome figures in the corner, such as them...
