Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 321: Ye Zi's Difficulties, Valentine's Day is Coming

February 2th, on the set of Better Days.

Shooting continues.

Today, Zhou Ye has been in a tense state since he arrived on the set, repeatedly rehearsing the flipping action in his mind.

Today she is about to shoot the most difficult scene in the entire movie, being pushed down the stone steps by Chen Nian!
Even though I rehearsed a lot with the action instructor, it’s impossible to say that I wasn’t afraid.

Even though she had promised Lin Li so solemnly before, when the moment really came, she still felt fear in her heart.

It was past five o'clock, the sky was getting dark, and the crew moved to the stone steps.

"Zifeng, yeah."

"Come here you two."

Lin Li stood by the steps, glanced at the two girls who were dancing and chatting not far away, and shouted.

Zhou Ye and the other man looked back, then trotted over hand in hand.

"Director Lin."

As they came closer, they both greeted each other at the same time.

"Well, how are the preparations going, especially Ye Zi? We're going to shoot the scene of him tumbling down the stairs. Are you sure you don't need a body double?"

Lin Li glanced at the two girls in front of him, and finally his gaze stopped at Zhou Ye's face and asked.

"I'm OK."

"I don't have any problem either!"

Both girls showed great confidence.

"Hey, are you sure everything is alright? I noticed you've been mumbling to yourself all day, so now you're sure?"

Lin Li was worried and asked Zhou Ye for confirmation again.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, I will be fine."

Zhou Ye pursed his lips and answered seriously.

"it is good."

"Get ready on site, shooting will start in three minutes."

Lin Li looked at Zhou Ye deeply, then picked up the intercom to notify all the people on the scene.

"Roger that!"

There was a uniform response from the audience.

After taking a few steps to the monitor and sitting down with his legs crossed, Lin Li waved for the action director to come closer.

Lin Li looked up at him: "How is Zhou Ye's falling action practice? Is it safe?"

"Reporting to Director Lin, Teacher Zhou Ye performed very well during practice, so there should be no problem."

"And during the actual filming, she would also wear knee pads, wrist guards and other protective gear to protect key parts, which can basically ensure safety."

The action director was a middle-aged man in his forties. Seeing Lin Li's serious expression, he answered carefully.

Everyone in the entire crew knew that Director Lin was very special to this actress named Zhou Ye. Even though everything was normal on the set, they were inseparable outside the set.

Everyone knew this, so he was always very focused when guiding Zhou Ye, and his attitude was particularly upright and easy-going.

"Very good. Go check with the props on the way to see if the green cloth and mat are in place. Have you tested the thickness of the mat to see if it is safe enough?"

Lin Li thought about it, and still felt a little worried before giving another warning.

"Okay, Director Lin, I'll go right away."

The action director responded respectfully and quickly ran over to check.

It is said that he fell down the stairs, but it is impossible for him to really fall down from a flight of stairs that are dozens of meters high, otherwise any good person would be killed.

The main thing is that the moment of being pushed is real falling, and after falling to the ground, there are soft cushions and green cloth along the stairs going down. In the later stage, special effects synthesis is used to complete the complete process of falling down the stairs.

However, the entire process from being pushed to falling off the cushion had to be completed by the actor himself, and he also had to make a real reaction of his body hitting the steps during the fall.

He had a deep impression of the scene of Ye Zi from his previous life, and he performed it himself. It took him more than ten takes to get through this shot, but he also injured his waist.

This time when he came to shoot, he naturally wanted to ensure Ye Zi's extreme safety.

"Props, check the mat and green cloth again."

"All the idle male staff members should wait on both sides of the stairs to ensure the safety of the actors."

"On-site preparation."

As Lin Li's steady voice was transmitted to the entire set through the intercom, the on-site staff quickly mobilized and arrived at the corresponding positions.

Zhou Ye, who had already prepared himself in front of the camera, glanced at the calm Lin Li behind the monitor and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

Of course she knew that Lin Li cared about her, but she just wanted him to know that she was not just a vase, and that she could do well and act well.

"The actors are in place."

"Both photographers, be ready. Don't shake your hands. Try to get it right in one take. Don't make each other suffer."

"Prepare the notes!"

"3, 2, 1!"

"Youth of You 1096 scenes, 1 shot 1 time!"

"action!"

"Snapped!"

As the script supervisor clapped the clapboard, the photography teacher quickly moved the camera forward, capturing the figures of Zhang Zifeng and Zhou Ye firmly in the camera and presenting them on the monitor screen.

In front of the monitor, Lin Li had a blank expression on his face, holding the intercom tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on the monitor screen without blinking.

In the camera, the conversation between Zhang Zifeng and Zhou Ye is continuing. Zhou Ye is crying and begging Zhang Zifeng not to report her.

Everything went very smoothly, and as Zhou Ye stood up and continued to babble on his lines and inadvertently mentioned Chen Nian's mother, Zhang Zifeng's eyes changed, causing the crowd of onlookers to hold their breath.

Lin Li narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhang Zifeng on the monitor. This change in his eyes made everyone think back to Zhang Zifeng's terrifying smile in Detective Chinatown.

Although it was not a smile this time, her cold eyes were similar to that smile.

"what!"

In the picture, as Zhang Zifeng pushed hard, Zhou Ye let out a scream, fell to the ground very naturally, and then rolled down along the slope of the stairs!
"Photography!" Lin Li raised the intercom and yelled to the photographer who was already waiting at the bottom of the stairs.

The photographer quickly caught up, and the camera followed Zhou Ye's figure closely to record her painful expression clearly and accurately!
Lin Li stared at the picture on the monitor, and when Zhou Ye finally rolled to the approximate position, Lin Li immediately shouted into the intercom at his mouth.

"Card!"

"Good! Everyone performed very well. One pass!"

"Adjust for three minutes, and then continue shooting after three minutes."

Lin Li tried his best to keep his voice calm. After he finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked quickly down the stairs.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Walking closer and finding that there was nothing unusual about Zhou Ye's condition, Lin Li secretly felt relieved. He glanced at the onlookers around him and asked in a faint voice.

At this time, Zhou Ye was already bowing to the surrounding staff one by one to express his gratitude. His fair and tender face was still stained with tears and his eyes were still slightly red.

But at this moment, she was grinning, with a shallow dimple on each cheek, and her brows and eyes were smiling broadly, and it was obvious to the naked eye that she was in a happy mood.

"Director Lin, I'm fine."

Seeing Lin Li, Zhou Ye's mouth corners widened even more, his eyes curved into crescent shapes, his head slightly tilted, his smile cute and bright under his messy long hair.

"Well, I'm glad you're alright. You did a great job."

When Lin Li saw Zhou Ye transformed into a happy puppy, he smiled and praised him.

"I think so too, hehe~"

Zhou Ye smiled even more happily after being praised, revealing a row of white teeth.

"fool."

Lin Li was infected by her smile, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. He looked gently at the girl in front of him with a beautiful smile.

The most beautiful scenery in the world is right on your face.

-

February 2th, Valentine's Day.

The filming of the crew continued as usual, but Lin Li was not completely unsympathetic and announced the end of filming at five o'clock.

After all, he knew that many of the crew members' significant others had come to the mountain city today specifically to spend Valentine's Day with them, so he naturally wanted to help them.

After packing up his things, Lin Li exchanged glances with Zhou Ye who was not far away, then walked out of the set and got into the car slowly.

Not long after, seeing a white figure jogging towards her, Lin Li immediately reached out to help her open the car door.

"Hello hello!"

"Hello, Brother Leopard."

Zhou Ye quickly got into the car, closed the door, and then began to greet people with full energy.

Lin Li smiled, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

"Hello, Miss Zhou."

Wang Bao responded without turning his head and started the car.

"Yezi, if you are exposed today, you will take full responsibility and protect me."

Lin Li turned sideways to look at Zhou Ye standing beside him, and teased him leisurely.

"Don't worry, I will protect you well."

Zhou Ye patted his chest, looking confident that everything would be up to me.

"Anyway, if we are discovered, you take the blame and I will run away."

Lin Li lowered his eyes to look at her, a smile in his deep eyes.

"Tsk, our teacher Nanxun is actually this kind of person, with no sense of responsibility at all. If the fans knew this, they would be very sad."

Zhou Ye wrinkled her upturned nose towards Lin Li, exuding the coquettishness that only a young girl could show.

Today she wore a half-high collar casual top with a plush long coat. The pure white outfit was very pure, and the brown buttons and brown cross-body bag added more color to the whole outfit, making her look like a bright and beautiful girl.

"We have to make this clear, Zhou Yeye. I told you there would be a lot of people outside today and there would be a risk of being surrounded. It was you who insisted on dragging me out."

"You know, today is Valentine's Day."

Lin Li looked at her with a smile and said something meaningful.

"It's more lively when there are more people. Besides, what's there to be unhappy about having a beautiful lady like me accompany you?"

"I just feel sorry for you because you are all alone out there. Please don't be ungrateful."

"Humph!"

Zhou Ye clasped his hands across his chest and gently lifted up his fair face, with a proud and coquettish expression on his face.

"Yes, yes, I'm so happy!"

"But yeah, isn't she a beautiful girl? Has she become a great beauty now?"

Lin Li discussed the matter with her in a serious manner.

"It's annoying! Stay out of the way of a beautiful lady!"

Two blushes appeared on Zhou Ye's cheeks. He glanced at Lin Li and turned to look out the window.

"Ah……"

Lin Li chuckled and shook his head.

He leaned leisurely in the back seat, his eyes involuntarily lingering on Zhou Ye's delicate profile.

It was indeed a face that was heart-thumping enough, with its fair and pink skin, soft and plump lips in a light cherry color, and its small lip beads that looked very suitable for kissing.

Hmm? Why did your thoughts suddenly go astray?
He has been trying to control his feelings for Ye Zi, fearing that he might accidentally cross the line.

It’s not that he doesn’t dare, but that he can’t.

Based on his understanding of Ye Zi, she would be deeply shocked once she knew that he had relationships with so many women.

but!

If he could win Jingyi first, with Ye Zi's unyielding character, he would be able to win her over.

So the plan now is to take down Jingyi first, and then go straight for Yezi!
In short, the advantage is mine!
