Especially in the early stage, the jokes are quite dense, and there are many jokes and complaints about movies. It tells a story about the Republic of China, but in fact it also contains connotations of some current film circles.

The early plot is very simple. The down-and-out tycoon Mr. Lu (Jiang Wu) invites the screenwriter Jiahui (Wei Yang), the director of the bad movies Director Zheng (Wang Pangzi), the outdated old actor Teacher Guan (Ge Daye), the vase actress Mengdie (Fan Xiaopang), and the Hollywood extra Ada (Wu Jing) to gather in a mansion to prepare to organize a movie.

Although these people disliked each other and even had some grudges against each other, they all had their own difficulties. With the help of tycoon Lu Ye, they decided to cooperate.

The tycoon Mr. Lu made an extraordinary move and planned to directly film the "Three Elders Case" that had previously caused a sensation in Shanghai and even the whole country.

They were the three most famous tycoons in Shanghai, in charge of finance, shipping and industry. They were murdered in a secret room overnight. Given the popularity and influence of this case, it would definitely be a big profit if it was made into a movie.

In addition, the tycoon Lu even invited the parties involved in the case, the murderer Qi Leshan (Duan Long) and the rookie policeman Dahai (Lin Gengxin).

Although everyone was a little surprised, they were excited and enthusiastic about the fact that the murderer had participated in the creation of the film, which would add more gimmicks. They were ready to "become famous" with this film.

Because I had rehearsed the play before, and went through the plot and lines several times.

Therefore, when the actual shooting started, the director and actors both had a general idea and the progress was smoother.

In the early stages of Twinkle Twinkle Star and in The East Palace, Wei Yang was worried about the performances of Liu Shishi and Nazha every day. He also has to keep an eye on various actors in Joy of Life.

Only this time, when he was filming "Famous", he was able to enjoy the blessing of being a hands-off boss.

Apart from Lin Gengxin and Wu Jing, he doesn't have to worry about the other actors at all.

If there are rare mistakes, he will point them out and immediately correct them or even change your performance. Sometimes, the level and considerations of the actors' performances are even greater than he originally required.

Wei Yang once again understood why big directors like to gather a group of talented people to film together.

Comfortable, worry-free, and pleasing to the eyes! Wei Yang was even somewhat glad that he did not choose Liu Tianxian, otherwise he would have spent every day with her. Unlike now, although Fatty Fan was not as comfortable as Mr. Ge, he did not need to worry too much.

In contrast, Wei Yang's main focus in acting is himself.

He gave private lessons and wrote tens of thousands of words for the character biographies alone. He also often sought advice from Ge Da Ge in private, and even secretly acted with Fan Xiaopang.

Even Fat Fan is convinced!

Wei Yang secretly knocked on her door and entered her room at night. She thought this man was pretending to be serious on the surface, but could not resist her charm in private. She was feeling proud of herself, but it turned out that he came to her to practice performance.

They were acting seriously according to the plot, and Wei Yang also asked her to play other roles to achieve interaction.

Fan Xiaopang, who just celebrated his 30th birthday, encountered such a weird thing for the first time in his life.

But despite complaining, Fan Xiaopang still chose to help Wei Yang. Of course, Boss Wei had to pay for his services.

It’s expensive, hundreds of millions at a time…

With Wei Yang's private hard work and efforts, he has a deeper understanding of the role of screenwriter, and also has a deep understanding of other actors and characters.

After all, Wei Yang is a professional actor with certain acting experience, and he is considered to be quite capable among young actors.

Understand the role, plot and even the opponent's role thoroughly, practice more, and with the help of the "director", you can reshoot if you are not satisfied.

Boss Wei felt that it could still barely reach the average level of the crew, at least not be the one that suffers the most from the movie.

On the set, the staff were constantly making adjustments, especially the lighting and photography departments.

Most of the action in "Get Famous" takes place in one night, so most of the movie is in darkness.

But during filming, it is impossible to let the actors stay up all night to shoot at night. Even if they can, there is not enough time at night. Therefore, we have to use the early morning and evening when the sunlight is not sufficient to achieve day shooting and night scenes.

Sometimes, due to weather, time and other reasons, light can also have an impact.

A movie happens over the course of one night or even a few dozen minutes, and many things have to be roughly fixed, so once there is a change, the photography and lighting have to be adjusted.

After the set was set up, Blue Whale director Zhang Yongxin, who served as executive director, took the camera and the actors took their positions.

This scene is about the murderer’s identity being revealed, everyone panicking and then reaching a consensus, and then starting to question the murderer and digging into the details.

The screenwriter played by Wei Yang is responsible for script writing and naturally takes on the main role in questioning.

Although screenwriter Ka Fai is a person who hates evil, he is a scholar after all, and he was still a little nervous when facing the murderer who killed the three elders and dozens of thugs.

Wei Yang took out a small pot of wine, took two sips, turned his head and looked at Qi Leshan, with his hands on the table, his back straight but slightly leaning forward, his glasses drooping slightly, with a sense of oppression, but his tone was sincere and gentle.

"Mr. Qi, I'm sorry for the intrusion."

Duan Long didn't care, his expression was calm: "Eat yours, smoke yours, feel free to be presumptuous."

As a senior journalist before changing careers, screenwriter Ka Fai is very experienced in communicating and questioning the murderer.

He is good at observing details, has strict logic, quick thinking, and rich knowledge. He likes to force the other party to answer with loopholes and information through continuous and rapid questioning, and then seize these to continue digging deeper, resulting in more and more loopholes.

Compared with reporters and screenwriters, his interrogation was more like a police interrogation. Qi Leshan repeatedly revealed flaws under his questioning.

"Why kill the three elders?"

"For money."

"Isn't being a thug quite profitable?"

"Betting."

"In debt?"

"Loan sharks, desperate."

"How many?"

"Three million."

"Does the loan shark use yellow, white, or green paint?"

"ah?"

"These days, usury is increasing rapidly and currency is depreciating even faster. By the time you pay back the money, the lender will be at a loss."

“Even borrowing and repaying money has to be converted into hard currency.”

"You have figured it out."

"I already knew that. You are called Huang Bai Lu Piao. We are talking about gold, silver and beautiful women. What I borrowed is silver."

"Three million francs of silver."

"How much French currency was this amount of silver converted into before you were arrested?"

"…have no idea."

"You are in debt, and you don't care?"

“I don’t like to keep accounts.”

“Did silver go up or down that month?”

“Who can remember this clearly?”

"You can't remember clearly, but the debt collector certainly remembers clearly and will tell you."

"It has gone up. How can it go down these days?"

"Yes, that month the central bank opened up its silver reserves, and the price of silver fell by 30%."

“…”

"You love gambling, how much are the red square chips in the Magic City Casino worth?"

"I'm going to a small place to play, cash."

"How much does one number on two dice pay?"

"……(silence)"

"Ten to one."

"Yes, ten times the compensation."

"Sorry, I remembered it wrong. It's eight to one."

"……(silence)"

This scene is entirely a battle between Wei Yang and Duan Long.

The other actors served more as background, watching the two people's questions and answers with surprise and thought.

Wei Yang is in an active position in this scene, taking every step carefully and being aggressive, but in terms of performance, it is actually Duan Long who has more room to perform.

From the initial nonchalant attitude, to the slight panic when being caught, and the useless attempts to remedy the situation, he instead exposed more and more nervousness, and finally even became a little desperate and angry.

Although Wei Yang had limited room for performance, he was able to portray the character's emotional changes.

From the normal inquiries at the beginning, to the curiosity and questioning when something was wrong, to the confidence of digging out more and more wrongs later, and the slight complacency of completely exposing the latter's lies and the further desire for the truth.

Because the character is in a state of serial questioning, these emotional expressions are not as obvious as Duan Long's, but it does not mean that Wei Yang did not act them out.

According to the pre-planned shooting plan, the filming should have stopped here, but Wei Yang was a little excited and continued looking down with a serious voice and sharp eyes.

"Why do you want to kill people?"

"Because of money,"

Duan Long didn't make any other movements and took on the emotion very smoothly.

Director: This is the tacit understanding that the two of them had accumulated from their previous scene together. Wei Yang got carried away, and he was actually not much better.

In this kind of question-and-answer style of play, the lines get faster and faster, the emotional levels gradually build up, and more and more is accumulated, which is not only enjoyable to act, but also causes corresponding physiological and psychological changes. The actors cannot just draw out the characters directly.

The other actors were not as into the role as these two. They were somewhat surprised and stunned, but that just fit the situation and did not distract from the performance.

They are all veteran actors who have more or less experienced and seen similar situations, so they reacted quickly and continued acting, even integrating those emotions into the characters.

Executive director Zhang Yongxin also saw the situation and did not interfere, allowing the two to perform.

The only one who was a little confused was Lin Gengxin. He lacked experience and didn't take it as lightly as the others.

However, the rookie policeman he played was a somewhat foolish man. He looked at the "confrontation" between the screenwriter and the murderer in a daze, which actually did not deviate from the character.

Wei Yang and Duan Long ignored the others. All the emotional preparations had been made, and the two began to enter the climax stage.

"Why do you want to kill people?"

Wei Yang's eyes were sharp, and his voice was getting louder and louder: "Why kill the three elders?"

Duan Long looked away with a guilty conscience and forced himself to explain: "Because of money."

Wei Yang pressed on: "You're not doing this for money?"

Duan Long was a little annoyed: "It's because of money!"

Wei Yang raised his voice again, going straight to the heart: "You just want to kill people! You just want to kill people!"

Duan Long was panicked and angry, and smashed the wine pot: "What's the matter? I just want to kill someone."

The two men's voices became louder and louder, and the argument became more and more fierce. Wei Yang questioned loudly, while Duan Long became a little crazy and angry.

"You just want to kill someone."

"I just want to kill him."

Until Wei Yang asked, "Who is he?", the hysterical yelling stopped. The two men looked at each other, panting. Lin Gengxin looked at them in panic and confusion. The camera surrounded them and the other actors were also dumbfounded.

Part of it is in line with the plot, and part of it is because I was surprised by the performance of the two.

Duan Long was fine, everyone had some idea of ​​Wei Yang's ability, at least he was not on par with Duan Long, but the scene just now was not inferior to him, which really surprised everyone.

Fan Xiaopang, holding a cigarette in his hand, stared at the two of them blankly, and recalled the scene when Wei Yang asked him to practice this scene.

Is my extracurricular tutoring so effective? Isn’t a few hundred million per class a bit cheap?
