Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

Chapter 166 I’m optimistic about you

During the lunch break, the crew also welcomed a guest.

Wang Qiyun, the daughter of the famous director Wang Chong, is also Gao You's classmate.

Wang Qiyun has a good background, and Gao You is talented and good-looking, so their classmates jokingly call them the kings who never meet each other in school.

In fact, Gao You and Wang Qiyun are not very familiar with each other.

Although the two were in the same class, Gao You was previously filming an Asian Games documentary, and later Wang Qiyun was shooting her first short film.

The two had hardly ever met in class.

It was only recently that the two finally met in some compulsory courses.

Wang Qiyun is a girl with short hair. She is not tall and has a small face. If she were an actress, she would be quite photogenic.

I heard that she filmed a lot of commercials when she was a child, and later she decided to become a director, so she was admitted to Beijing Film Academy.

"I'm here to observe and learn. Are you welcome?" Wang Qiyun said to Gao You with a smile.

"Of course you're welcome." Gao You and Wang Qiyun greeted.

"Director Gao, I plan to participate in the Sarolin Film Festival for my short film "Brown". What are your plans?" Wang Qiyun sat next to Gao You and said to Gao You.

"If I have time, I will definitely attend." Gao You is also very familiar with these film festivals.

In her previous life, she was nominated several times but didn’t win any awards, which was a bit regretful.

Of course, without good works, everything is empty talk.

"Come on! I'm rooting for you." Wang Qiyun said with a smile.

After Wang Qiyun left, the filming continued.

Gao You spent two days on the set and finally finished shooting Lao Fang's personal shots.

Then there was a confrontation between Lao Fang, An Li and Li Rong.

This is the climax of the film. Zhao Qing gets into the mood quickly and acts with Liu Daqi in a back-and-forth manner.

Yu Lishu was a bit of a drag.

The movies she had previously played in Hong Kong were all small supporting roles, and there was no need to show any acting skills.

What happens on the stage is somewhat different from what happens in the movies.

This made her a little difficult to adapt to.

The more she couldn't get into the role, the more anxious she became, and the worse her acting became.

Gao You has been "clicked" several times because of her.

Yu Lishu had never been so embarrassed, especially in front of three professional actors.

Zhu Kai plays the role of a corpse better than she does.

Yu Lishu didn't show it on the surface, but she was very anxious inside.

"Crack!" Gao You felt bad for Yu Lishu when he saw her like this.

"Three teachers, please take a rest first. I want to talk to her." Gao You stood up and pulled Yu Lisu to the balcony.

"You're not afraid when there are so many people on the stage, so why are you so panicked when there are only a few people on the set?" Gao You looked at Yu Lishu.

Yu Lishu felt a little embarrassed.

She was able to maintain a stable mentality, but for a moment, she had no idea what to do.

The character of An Li was not as easy to play as she had imagined.

Especially in front of three senior actors, she just couldn't act well.

"The three teachers performed really well." Yu Lishu said honestly.

Gao You could understand how she felt.

These three actors are not well-known in the industry and most of them play supporting roles.

But they have been filming together for at least ten years, and have worked with many award-winning actors and actresses.

If new actors cannot show some skills in front of them, they will easily be suppressed by them.

She was also suppressed by such old actors in the past.

This is a test, but also an opportunity for growth.

"You have been learning opera since you were young, and you have experienced all kinds of hardships. Show your previous enthusiasm." Gao You patted Yu Lisu's shoulder.

In fact, Yu Lishu has very good qualifications, with a bright appearance and outstanding temperament. She has been learning opera since she was a child and has very solid basic skills.

And she herself is also very hardworking and diligent.

Ever since she knew Gao You got up at 4:30 to practice, she also got up at 4:30.

The dormitory is not open at this time.

Both of them came down directly from the second-floor balcony.

Yu Lishu practiced basic skills, and Gao You practiced Wing Chun.

When Gao You went back to write his novel, Yu Lishu was still warming up her voice, and she did not neglect her old job for a single day.

When Yu Lishu was chatting with Gao Youxian, she told him the original purpose of her coming to Beijing Film Academy.

In recent years, Cantonese opera has become less and less attractive to young people due to the impact of various entertainments such as movies and television.

Yu Lishu is not so optimistic about the future of this industry.

She yearns for the more colorful film and television industry.

But this business is the basis of her livelihood.

She has been trying some things.

Later, she signed a contract with a Hong Kong company and allowed the company to package her and create an image of a Cantonese opera star in an attempt to attract more young people who are interested in traditional drama.

However, after two years of hard work, Yu Lishu became famous and received many film invitations.

There are also various invitations to high-society banquets, follow-up reports in entertainment gossip newspapers, pursuit by fanatical fans, and shooting of various commercials.

Her acting career seems to be flourishing.

Yu Lishu was once addicted to that world of decadence and dissipation.

But Yu Lishu was not satisfied.

She wanted more.

So she terminated the contract and came back to take the Beijing Film Academy entrance exam.

She still wants to seek more possibilities in drama, film and television.

However, she suffered a great setback during her first official acting experience.

However, Yu Lishu's character is tougher than outsiders think.

There is no hurdle that Yu Lishu cannot overcome.

"Give me ten minutes." Yu Lishu and Gao You said.

Gao You nodded and went in.

Yu Lishu adjusted herself on the balcony for ten minutes. After going back in, she felt much better.

Even though there were still a few "clicks", at least Gao You was satisfied.

This short film took a total of eight days to shoot.

In the later stage, Mr. Mo found a very experienced editor Peng Yuhang from Qingying Studio to help Gao You with the post-production.

Gao You himself was also in charge of the editing and doing other post-production work.

After completing the rough cut, you can already tell what the film is like.

Peng Yuhang has a new understanding of Gao You, a freshman.

This female-themed short film is very refreshing, calm and vigorous in both structure and picture.

In response to the request, Gao You changed some details and shot several versions.

Peng Yuhang’s favorite is the original version.

After Li Rong killed Lao Fang, screenwriter Ding Ou slowly woke up. An Li did not hesitate and hit him twice with the paperweight again.

Ding Ou never woke up again.

Li Rong didn't even have time to stop it.

Of course, Peng Yuhang felt that this version might not pass.

So Gao You also filmed another version.

When Ding Ou woke up, he was shocked to see Lao Fang lying in a pool of blood.

Li Rong picked up the paperweight and hit him twice more.

What Gao You meant was that you should use whichever version you can pass.

After a few days, the sound effects, music and subtitles were all completed.

The poster was designed by Gao You and Zhu Xiaoya.

Gao You handed it to Teacher Mo, asking her to arrange for the school to watch the film.

Only with the consent of the school leaders and the review of relevant departments will there be a chance to participate in awards and be broadcast externally.

The last documentary "The Heart of the Asian Games" has been reviewed and received good responses.

It seems that CCTV is interested in purchasing the broadcast, and Mr. Mo is following up on this matter.

Gao You just started attending class obediently.

Teacher Mo told her that the film screening would be scheduled for the day after tomorrow, when school leaders and Qingying Studio leaders would come, as well as several directors in the industry.

Gao You nodded to indicate that he understood.

On that day, Gao You met with the school leaders, including Dean Zeng, the head of the directing department, and Director Cen of Qingying Studio.

There are also several directors who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, including director Wang Lan.

Wang Lan saw Gao You and came over to greet her with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. You seem to have grown taller?" Director Wang Lan is very kind and amiable when she is not filming.

"Hello, Director Wang." Gao You greeted her obediently.

"Old Mo asked me to come here, saying that a freshman made a short film and wanted me to come and see it. I was curious, and when I read the introduction, I found out it was you." Wang Lan said with a laugh.

"I'll have to ask Director Wang for some guidance later." Gao You said modestly.

"Of course. But the post-production of 'A Better Tomorrow', which you wrote, has been completed and it will be broadcast around New Year's Day or the Spring Festival. Did you know that?" Wang Lan was still a little excited when talking about her first TV series.

"Wang Tai called me and told me about it. I was the one who recommended the theme song." Gao You has actually been in contact with Wang Tai during this period.

The finished film of "The Tomorrow's Shining Sun" has been released. We have watched the film internally. I heard from Wang Tai that there are some controversies, but most people think it is good, so it will definitely be a hit.

The schedule has been prepared, just waiting for approval.
