In fact, Liu Yifei had questioned the standards set by her mother for accepting roles.
There are no actresses aged 18 or 19 who play the leading role in every film.
There are so many heroines looking for me.
But she knew this was her mother's painstaking efforts to make herself more famous.
However, she is the direct beneficiary. The three heroines Wang Yuyan, Zhao Ling'er, and Xiao Longnu have really given her a huge advantage.
So she didn't say much about her mother's standards for accepting roles.
Of course Liu Xiaoli knows that it is difficult to make movies now, even if she has to start from the vase and the border.
But she still wants to fight for her daughter as much as possible.
This is the case for "Animal World". Although Liu Qing has a small role, she is a solid heroine in the cast, and her appearance is sufficient.
And when the crew promotes it to the outside world, they will single out Liu Yifei and introduce: "Zhang Yuanjun stars in the lead, and Liu Yifei makes a special appearance."
Other actors, even if they have more roles, will be ranked behind Liu Yifei.
This ranking is boring, but necessary.
As soon as the graduation period is over, the film school's 02 form begins the graduation thesis defense.
The 02 list includes Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun, who belong to a real star class. Their graduation defenses were reported by the media.
It is a pity that they did not defend on the same day. Liu Yifei defended on the 8th and Zhang Yuanjun on the second day.
Liu Yifei actually wrote a paper "A Brief Discussion on the Creativity of Actors".
Zhang Yuanjun was not able to come to the scene in person, but through the media's video reports, it can be seen that she was quite nervous at the time.
Neither can report without a script.
Fortunately, the instructors did not embarrass her and let her go after simply asking a few questions.
What’s so difficult about an undergraduate thesis?
After leaving the defense classroom, Liu Yifei happily accepted a brief interview with reporters.
Finally, he said, "I hope all the students behind me will do their best." Then he left with a smile.
On the second day, Zhang Yuanjun and others’ defense went very smoothly.
"Fortunately, it went very smoothly." Zhang Yuanjun was interviewed while standing at the door of the teaching building. "The next step is the graduation ceremony on the 29th."
"We're just waiting for "Animal World" to start shooting later." Zhang Yuanjun "suddenly" remembered, "On July 27th, "Famous" will premiere in Beijing in the standard screening room of our school. Remember to come."
The reporter smiled and agreed: "I will definitely come."
"It will premiere in Shanghai on August 1st, and you should come too."
"Come on, come on." He continued.
On the weekend after completing the graduation thesis defense, 02 Ben sent several representatives to record an episode of "A Date with Lu Yu".
This is a spot that the college has struggled to obtain.
In the name of graduation, "Famous" was promoted. It was led by Wang Jinsong, the class teacher of 02, and Zhang Yuanjun, Liu Yifei, and Jiang Yiyan participated in the recording.
Don't ask why Jiang Yiyan went, she just has the ability.
"A Date with Lu Yu" is very popular now, and it is not easy to get an appointment for the last episode.
This episode of "Getting Famous" is scheduled very late and will be broadcast at the end of July.
The program lasted the whole day. After finishing the recording, Liu Yifei said hello politely and left in the car.
We will talk about this program in detail when it is broadcast.
On the 19th, "Crazy Stone" premiered in Shanghai, and Zhang Yuanjun was invited to attend.
In the entertainment industry, some people seek profit, some seek fame, and even more people seek fame and fortune.
Brother Hua is of course the perfect idol, but he also has things he pursues.
No matter what the purpose is, Hua Ge can spend real money to support new directors and is willing to use his influence to stand up for new directors. This is worthy of praise.
Even if Yingyi Entertainment does not allow Zhang Yuanjun's studio to sign on "Crazy Stone", it still has to recognize the important role of the new star director program.
If you make money yourself, leave your reputation to Brother Hua.
"Make a Famous" will make you famous.
It's strange that there were very few celebrity guests at the Shanghai premiere.
Zhang Yuanjun thought about it and realized that "Crazy Stone" had only been screened once at the Shanghai International Film Festival, and many people had never seen it.
After the small-scale test screenings in Beijing and Shanghai in the past few days and word-of-mouth fermentation, the premiere in Beijing will be very lively.
Zhang Yuanjun's arrival was an unexpected surprise for reporters.
Even Andy Lau was "surprised": "I really didn't expect him to come. He is so popular now and so hard to hire." Andy Lau said on stage, "Thank you very much Zhang Yuanjun for coming to support our movie."
Zhang Yuanjun was sitting in the audience smiling and waving.
In order to thank Andy Lau for his support, Ning Hao specially presented the most important prop in the film - jade to Andy Lau.
During the screening of the film, the audience's laughter could be heard almost every minute, and the audience gave warm applause at the end of the film.
Shortly after the screening, Andy Lau, Ning Hao and several leading actors took the stage to talk about their filming experiences.
As one of the producers, Andy Lau was obviously very satisfied with the film. He praised the director and actors all. He also revealed an interesting fact: Ning Hao once invited him to play a role in the film, but he refused because he was too busy.
Ning Hao replied to him: "It would be really inappropriate for you to play that role."
Zhang Yuanjun shut up and didn't talk about Xie Xiaomeng's affairs, and just carried out normal business exchanges: "I laughed so much that I shed tears. It is a very unique movie, and it is a rare type in China. Next time you have such a movie, you can contact me .”
After the premiere, Zhang Yuanjun said hello, made an appointment to meet again in Beijing, and left with his assistant.
Zhang Yuanjun did not return to the capital, but went to the preparation team of "Animal World" - taking advantage of SIPG, most of the movie scenes had to be shot in Shanghai.
Most of the hospitals in Magic City are now very busy and it is not convenient to receive the crew. Therefore, the production team rented a building in Chedun Film and Television City and transformed it into the appearance of a hospital. Now that the decoration has been completed, the hospital equipment is being transported in.
The scenery in the studio has not yet been set up, and some customized props have not yet been put in place. "Animal World" will shoot the exterior scenes first, and the gambling games will be shot in the studio, so it doesn't matter if the studio is decorated a little later.
As for the ship Destiny, except at the end of the film, when Zheng Kaisi disembarks from the ship and takes photos of its physical form, the rest of the shots of the ship are all produced by special effects.
This is the only physical shot, using an old ship from the Shanghai Shipyard, rented for 100,000 a day.
The start-up is about to begin, and Xu Ke’s team has already stationed at the site to supervise the work.
The scene was in full swing.
Xu Kezai has already begun to think about the camera position and lighting.
"Come on, you start walking from here, let me take a look." Xu Ke directed a boy to stand over and act as a model for him.
"You." Xu Ke called a girl, "You stand there and I look at the light."
Zhang Yuanjun and assistant Xiao Zhao also came to the crew at this time.
Assistant Xiao Zhao saw that the girl's back looked familiar, so he asked Xu Ke: "Director, what are you doing?"
Zhang Yuanjun explained: "This is called light substituting. Sometimes the lead actor is not available, so he needs a stand-in to help him position himself so that the crew can light him easily."
"Then whose replacement is this?"
"There are not many girls in the whole group, so this must be Yifei's replacement."
Xu Ke looked at the light and said, "Okay, that's it."
After the director approved it, the light turned around for the girl.
"Sister, why are you here? Haha." Zhao Liying smiled awkwardly.
