The day when the idol is disqualified, when the superstar rises

"Whenever this happens, I always give up the idea of ​​being a director in the future. It's too tiring to control a crew. I'd rather hold [-] concerts a month."

Looking at the busy set, Wang Chuan said with emotion.

What is being filmed is the famous scene in "La La Land" where the drivers get out of the car and sing and dance when they are stuck in a traffic jam on the highway at the beginning.

Some people complained that "La La Land" fully proves that as long as the beginning and the end of a movie are shot well, it doesn't matter if the middle is boring.

Although this traffic jam scene is not as good as the classic tribute skewers at the end and a glimpse of a lifetime, it is lively and interesting, and it can make musical and musical lovers smile knowingly. The charm of musicals is also mainly reflected in this play.

But at the same time it's really hard to shoot.

It is not only necessary to take one shot to the end, but also to let the appearance of the extras match the rhythm of the song. Even if they are all dancers with basic dance skills, it is a great test for the director's scheduling ability.

"You still want to be a director!"

Catherine next to her exclaimed.

"I used to think that being a director must be very interesting, so I had the idea of ​​trying it. Do you feel that I am even more careless?"

Wang Chuan joked.

Catherine did not directly express her dissatisfaction with Wang Chuan's tour around before the start of the show, and even found time to make an album.

But Wang Chuan also knew it in his heart, so he teased himself first.

"How could it be?" The polite Ms. Catherine quickly denied the thoughts in her heart, "I actually envy you. I have a feeling that if you really become a director, you will be a very good director."

What follows is Catherine's sincere words.

There are also many cross-border stars in the United States, and there are several strong existences who have won all four major awards: Oscar, Grammy, Tony Award and Emmy Award.

However, almost no one like Wang Chuan wrote the songs he sang and the plays he acted in, and his desire to create was still so strong.

In the previous reports on Wang Chuan in the United States, those who followed Wang Chuan learned that he had created nearly a hundred songs and nearly twenty scripts in the five years since his debut, and all of them have achieved amazing success in China, completely dominating the Chinese entertainment circle , was wildly sought after by the Chinese.

Even though China's entertainment industry level is far behind that of the United States, Wang Chuan's genius performance, which is obviously more than one level higher, has every reason to believe that his talent can definitely gain a foothold in Hollywood.

The popularity of "syt" proves this point. He has already produced his first English album with great ambitions. Catherine, who is becoming more and more curious about Wang Chuan, noticed some comments on Wang Chuan's album a few days ago. Great tidbits.

Although Catherine can't hear that album now, so many soundtracks and songs in "La La Land" that she likes very much are also created by Wang Chuan, which is enough to show that the success of "syt" in the United States is not accidental .

Catherine of the film "La La Land" also believes that even though it will be difficult for the academy to recognize it due to its natural "disadvantages", it is enough for Wang Chuan to steadily open up the situation in Hollywood.

Entering the American market is still a dual-threaded simultaneous effort. What supports Wang Chuan in doing so is not only the Huaxia Capital behind him, but also his strong self-confidence and amazing talent.

Catherine had a premonition in her heart that Wang Chuan would completely change America's view of China, and let Americans see how well Huaxia people can also do in the field of film and music. Maybe China's entertainment industry will gradually be able to complement America!

Catherine herself thought this idea was crazy, but she couldn't control her admiration for Wang Chuan. No Chinese person had ever surprised her so much. Sometimes she even felt that it would be nice to have a relationship with this Chinese person— —

Well, that's it.

Although there are appreciations, but the further and more exaggerated ideas should be incidentals after the acting state has been adjusted.

Catherine thought so herself.

Apart from admiration, Catherine felt a little sorry for Wang Chuan.

Because Catherine thinks that Wang Chuan is talented in acting, but he is too distracted and has no time to hone and improve, and maybe he is also satisfied with the current "enough" level...

"Thank you for your feelings," Wang Chuan said with a smile, "but I still feel that being a director is too troublesome."

"But your diligence has exceeded my imagination. You shouldn't think how lazy I am usually. I feel that my energy is only enough to prepare a play by myself, and you are touring the world and making an album—" Catherine stopped suddenly, and the expression on her face instantly became awkward, "Sorry, I didn't mean that, I, I..."

"It's me who should say I'm sorry." Surprised Wang Chuan interrupted her, "I didn't fully prepare for this movie, and my acting skills are still so bad."

Wang Chuan didn't expect her to stop and apologize at all.

"No, it's not that bad." Catherine laughed out of embarrassment, feeling as if something was wrong with her statement, "I just... it's actually my reason why the start-up time was in May."

"I could have made the album in the second half of the year."

"Actually, you haven't affected anything. You can't help yourself when you get busy in the entertainment industry."

"I actually didn't expect you to be so tolerant."

"... Let's work together to make "La La Land" well."

"I'm going to do the best I can."

"Ah."

Catherine nodded.

The smile on her face finally eased, and she also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Wang Chuan didn't fully prepare for this matter before starting the machine, and it was impossible for Catherine to be free from grudges in her heart.

But every time we met, Wang Chuan performed very well, and his image was getting more and more consistent with the hero Sebastian in the film, so Catherine felt unable to speak.

And when he met Wang Chuan to talk about "La La Land", Wang Chuan acted quite forcefully...he hesitated even more.

But after shooting a few scenes after turning it on, Catherine already felt that this incident had affected her state, but it was already turned on, so it seemed even more strange to mention it again.

Fortunately, Wang Chuan gave her a reason today so that she could speak out relatively naturally.

Now Catherine feels that the shackles on her body have been completely broken, and she can finally devote herself to acting.

Catherine turned her head to look at Wang Chuan's side face again. He was watching the group performers obeying the arrangement of Ke Xizhe, who did it himself, and looked at it quite seriously.

A handsome man indeed.

she thought to herself.

……

Wang Chuan actually felt Catherine looking at him, but he didn't look back at her.

To put it bluntly, Wang Chuan was worried that Catherine was really thinking about him, so he kept controlling contact with her that might have an ambiguous atmosphere.

Anyway, Wang Chuan just needs to be a substitute when filming. There is no need to cultivate feelings outside the film to make the acting more devotion and natural.

And after all, the feeling of drinking and chatting with Jones a few times is not bad. It is not clear whether they have forgotten each other in the rivers and lakes. In case Catherine, an experience group, really can't control it...

Wang Chuan would definitely refuse.

But that would be embarrassing.

In the crew, it is better to pay more attention to things that an actor should not pay attention to... such as the operation of the set.

Wang Chuan, who has already filmed many films in China, came to the United States to film "La La Land", and it is difficult not to automatically compare the crews of the two countries.

It has to be said that the gap is really obvious.

The gap seems more obvious when this kind of big scene scheduling tests group performances.

Most of Huaxia's ensemble performers are just doing their jobs, and they just go to work to dawdle, while the American ones seem to feel that each of them is waiting for the opportunity to soar to the sky at any time, and they are extremely devoted to the performance. Finally, you can keep your full attention outside the camera, instead of taking the opportunity to be lazy, and then get serious when you see the camera position coming.

So there are very few cases.

This gap will take time to bridge.

However, it took two full days to shoot this scene before Ke Xizhe was satisfied.

For a film whose original shooting period is less than two months, it is a little tight.

Fortunately, the Hollywood film and television industry system is strong in all aspects.

With top-notch sets and props and a mature and stable production crew, there are almost no accidents on the set that cause the suspension of filming.

Moreover, the mature green screen shooting technology reduces the trouble of running around to find a view.

The traffic jam scene was filmed in a parking lot instead of actually running on the elevated highway.

This kind of crew will make the actors extremely comfortable when filming, without being distracted by other things.

In addition to being pulled by the director to criticize...

Ke Xizhe, a cunning old man, is not a good talker, Wang Chuan knew it from the very beginning.

But I didn't expect him to become extremely irritable when he arrived on the set, and he seemed to be a completely different person when he scolded people.

Unfortunately, Wang Chuan was the one he scolded the most.

The filming at the beginning was okay, because there was no plot of interaction between the male and female protagonists, but two separate lines. After they started to contact, they didn't immediately become ambiguous.

Wang Chuan just needs to easily act as the handsome man.

But after the two started to have a romantic relationship, Wang Chuan was dragged to execution...

Ke Xizhe's eyes are too venomous. He feels that the rivalry between Wang Chuan and Catherine is invisible.

Catherine suggested at the beginning that it might be because her performance is too personal, and maybe she can adjust her performance.

But Ke Xizhe did not agree.

Because of the relationship between the male and female protagonists in this movie, although the male protagonist Sebastian and the female protagonist Mia are both pursuing their dreams, Sebastian is more accommodating to Mia, so Sebastian later decided to encourage Mia to go to Paris , The two finally broke up, which made Mia so emotional at the end of the movie listening to Sebastian's playing in the audience.

If Catherine instead accommodated Wang Chuan's performance, it would be completely contrary.

So at first, after a few days of stable filming, the crew began to shoot a rival scene between Wang Chuan and Catherine every day. Ke Xizhe got angry and cursed, and then went to shoot other scenes. Wang Chuan tried to adjust the rhythm of his state...

The only good thing is that this movie is originally from the heroine's perspective. Catherine has a lot more scenes than Wang Chuan, and Wang Chuan still has time to adjust.

...others think.

However, Wang Chuan knew that his personal role in front of him was also substituted to act in order to satisfy Ke Xizhe.

Others think that they are not in good shape, but in fact, their acting skills are not good, and they are just a bastard who only relies on substitutions.

Now Ke Xizhe is dissatisfied with the substitution, let Wang Chuan...

Wang Chuan tried not to substitute himself... Ke Xizhe's scolding voice was the loudest that day.

So now Wang Chuan can only try to give up the state of being extremely relaxed and comfortable when substituting, try to perform something different while substituting, consciously adjust those mature micro-expressions and detailed movements, thinking Replace the male lead with yourself, what your real performance should be, and replace it slowly.

This caused Wang Chuan's acting state to suddenly become completely abnormal after Ke Xizhe's unprecedented rage, as if he couldn't act anymore.

Wang Chuan has been sitting on the set for two days and has not been arranged to shoot any scenes.

Ke Xizhe told Wang Chuan "intimately" that he can wait for Wang Chuan to find a status. Anyway, the film is mainly invested by Huaxia, and it cannot be completed according to the original plan. It is also paid by Huaxia people. He can wait for a month or even a year Three to five years.Shoot halfway first, then stop and wait for Wang Chuan to give up the damn concert, order, "global travel"... After finding the state, start shooting again.

If it doesn't work, Ke Xizhe is also ready to give up the movie.

There's no way he's letting the movie blow his name.

So Wang Chuan was really worried.

I was even thinking that I should hone my acting skills in Huaxia, and then go abroad to earn my reputation...

"Feel sorry."

After seeing Catherine coming, Wang Chuan apologized again.

Since Wang Chuan was "targeted" by Ke Xizhe, Catherine would come over to chat with Wang Chuan during her spare time, trying to find ways to help Wang Chuan find his status.

When Wang Chuan saw her shouting "Sorry", he was almost able to respond.

"Don't be sorry," Catherine said helplessly, "I said before, I think you are very talented in acting, but you just haven't found the most suitable acting method for yourself. Acting is not an easy thing, I have also experienced In this way, when you suddenly feel that you can’t act. But this actually means that you have reached the bottleneck period of acting breakthrough. You may feel painful for a while, but try your best to perform and work hard to survive this period , your acting skills will definitely improve tremendously."

"Maybe."

Wang Chuan sighed.

"Maybe what I'm going to say next will be a little offensive."

At this time, Catherine spoke without any of the "polite hesitation" she used to have, but rather decisively.

"It's okay," Wang Chuan said with a wry smile, "whether it helps me or not."

"I have always felt during this time that after you came to the United States from China, you seem to have achieved very impressive success. You have also shown a great understanding of Hollywood rules and American culture. But you feel more like It’s because you have a deep gap with all of this, you are just deliberately showing that you are popular with the market and can blend in the circle like a fish in water, and you don’t seem to agree with all of this.”

Catherine's words were sharp.

As if to avenge Wang Chuan's sarcasm for mocking her at the beginning, he didn't show any affection at all.

"..."

Wang Chuan could not refute.

Then I heard Catherine continue to speak.

"Like it was to me."

Her tone suddenly became resentful.

"..."

Wang Chuan didn't expect it at all.

"Honestly, I've done so many scenes and you're the first one to make me feel like I've lost all my charm. You seem to be bored with me and you just hide it inside. It's a really bad feeling. "Catherine looked at Wang Chuan with more resentment in her eyes, "Because I feel that you can't find your status because you don't like me. You know, acting is about interacting with others."

"..."
