Crazy Entertainment System

Chapter 417 My Rules

"I know many people will look down on me and think I'm showing off, but I just smile and say it. I don't care what you think, after all, you are a person with your own thoughts, and I can't control your thoughts."

But on my film set, things have to be done my way.

Let me state my rules. First: Every actor who has lines must deliver them. Even if you're just an extra, you have to convey the emotions of an extra.

The perfunctory extras simply said: "Get out of here, don't bother coming back!"

As for professional actors, they must memorize their lines and recite them. If they have to do more than 3 takes due to the lines, they will be fined 200 yuan. This fine will be used as a welfare fund for our entire crew.

From now on, the crew will get their fruit, good drinks, and extra meals from here.

The male and female leads will be fined 500 yuan. Also, I keep a mental ledger; whenever you make this kind of basic mistake, I'll record it in my ledger, out of 100 points! Three attempts count as one point. If your score is below 3, then I'm sorry, Rzy Entertainment won't be using you for five years!

So being an actor in my drama is very hard work, and Yali is also very big.

Of course, for actors who are not formally trained, I can be more lenient. I can give them five takes and count them as one point before the filming is halfway done. After that, they are treated the same as those with formal training, and there's nothing more to say.

Of course, I feel the same way personally.

As for what constitutes a problem, I believe your teachers have all tested it out for you, and the directors around me are also very clear about it.

During breaks, you can joke around and play however you like, but when the performance officially starts, you must be 100% serious.

Of course, as the person involved, both the director and an actor, if I made a similar mistake, my fine would be three times yours. You fine me 500 yuan, but I'll fine you 1500 yuan directly. You can use this opportunity to retaliate against me.

"Friends with IHN can record this on their phones. Then we'll have video evidence. I won't be able to deny it even if I want to!" When Chen Yu said this, the serious crowd burst into laughter.

Now Chen Yu is even stricter with himself than they are, so there's nothing more to say. He sets an example by himself, and the punishments he receives are even harsher than theirs.

"The third issue is scheduling. As an actor and a star, I know that multiple production teams will definitely approach you. So please listen carefully, listen carefully, if you decide to act in my drama, then you can only have two dramas on your plate at the same time."

Some people will definitely say that I have the right to take as many as I want.

Yes, it's your right to accept a role, but it's my right to use you. I can't let the entire crew be delayed because of you.

I don't care about your commercial performances or gigs, and I can't control them, but don't interfere with my business.

"If someone delays my filming schedule by taking on too many roles and commercial activities, making the entire crew wait for them, I might forgive them once—everyone has unavoidable circumstances. But if it happens a second time, please get out of here as soon as possible! I'll replace them immediately. Even if I can't find a role and this show can't be filmed, I won't use you, never!" Chen Yu's words sent a chill down the spines of all the actors. An actor's moment of glory is fleeting; if they don't seize the opportunity to gain exposure, promote themselves, and make a fortune, what will they eat when they're no longer famous?

"I can tell you with certainty that if you act honestly and do your best in every role, you will gain far more than you would by desperately taking on roles and doing gigs."

Finally, there are no big stars in my crew. If anyone acts like a diva or throws a tantrum, don't be rude. Today is my first day officially entering the directing and film industry. I'm setting my rules now. You have two or three hours to decide whether you want to stay. Don't worry, if you regret it now, I won't blame you. Just pretend we never signed a contract!" Chen Yu said with a light smile.

There was complete silence at the scene, but no one left.

Nobody's stupid. Anyone who dares to be the first to speak out at this point will be banned from this industry.

Furthermore, Chen Yu's four points were not excessive; on the contrary, they were quite normal.

"Alright, let's begin the opening ceremony. If you have any ideas later, feel free to contact me. But once filming starts, the four points I mentioned earlier will take effect."

Chen Yu smiled gently.

Chen Yu initially didn't want to pull this stunt right away, but he was worried about the chaos in the entertainment industry appearing in his production crew, and he was also preparing for the smooth progress of filming.

The opening ceremony went smoothly, just as Chen Yu had expected; no one withdrew.

Many people are doing their jobs diligently.

Meanwhile, the actors nervously pulled out their scripts and began memorizing them.

They were unaware of Chen Yu's rules before, but now that he has formally proposed them, they must abide by them. They are mostly newcomers and know that this opportunity is hard-won. If they want to continue in this industry, they must do as Chen Yu says.

They knew in their hearts that doing what Chen Yu said would also benefit them.

Putting aside everything else, the ability to deliver lines is a fundamental skill for an actor. An actor who can't even deliver lines is destined not to go far. They might be able to make a living based on their youth, but that youth only lasts a few years.

Everyone worked hard to memorize and study the script.

At the same time, they exchanged their thoughts. Chen Yu was familiarizing himself with the filming scenes of the script. Although he had the help of Hu Gong, Wang Min and others, Chen Yu knew that it was better to rely on himself than on others.

"Get ready here, we'll head straight to the bus stop!" Of course, the specific location for filming wasn't the bus stop itself, but rather the vicinity of the nearest bus stop platform.

Because there must be a bus stop at the airport.

We had contacted the local authorities beforehand, so the set design and extras for the filming were already in place.

Many passengers are only slightly curious when they see a film being shot, but not particularly interested. They usually just glance at it and then get on the bus and leave. Very few people actually go over with their luggage to take a look.

After all, this kind of thing happens frequently in the capital.

All the staff took their positions, and the first scene of Love Apartment was being filmed for the first time. Chen Yu sat in the director's seat, his eyes fixed on the monitor.

This monitor isn't one of those small monitors; it's a 27-inch monitor with a 2K resolution.

Of course, it wasn't bought from the market; it was purchased directly using fan points.
