168. Actor?

When Zhang Xueyou and Liu Yifei arrived at the place, Ye Sumang and Zhou Xun had already moved chairs and sat in front of the monitor to watch the replay of the camera just now.

At this time, the screen happened to play Ye Sumang's shocked look when he looked at Zhou Xun eating noodles.

Through a layer of hazy glass, Zhou Xun in the picture was holding a noodle bowl, half a noodle hanging on the corner of her mouth, looking at Ye Sumang foolishly. As the camera turned around, even though Ye Sumang was wearing glasses, she still couldn't stop the storm of surprise in his eyes...

"How is it?" The camera was not long, and it was less than thirty seconds. After the playback, Zhou Xun immediately asked Ye Sumang for his opinion.

"Overall, it's not bad, but you were stunned for a while. Let's do it again, just try to count two in your mind." Ye Sumang suggested.

"No problem." Zhou Xun smiled, and she also felt that she had been stunned for too long.

However, the conversation between the two made Liu Yifei and Zhang Xueyou change their faces. Zhou Xun was stunned just now for about three seconds, and Ye Sumang asked Zhou Xun to count two numbers in his heart, which means that the look of the eyes actually had an error of less than one second, but in this second, both of them felt dissatisfied.

Liu Yifei suddenly realized how loose Ye Sumang's "strictness" was in "Singing and Dance"? If you measure yourself according to Zhou Xun's current standards, let alone two months, I'm afraid that he might not be able to meet the standards set by Ye Sumang in a year.

A bitterness suddenly filled my heart, and there was also a kind of unwillingness. The girl bit her lip silently. She did not go up and talk to Ye Sumang for a rare reason, but began to think about her acting skills and how to make progress.

Unlike Liu Yifei's silence, Zhang Xueyou had already smiled bitterly at this time.

"Ha, I'm really glad to be able to work under such a director. Unfortunately, this is a woman's drama..." It seems to be for the people around me, and it seems to be talking to myself. Zhang Xueyou's eyes were full of melancholy at this time.

His mood was very complicated at this time.

I originally took on Ye Sumang's play, because he liked the style of the opera very much, and because he also helped Ye Sumang with the favor of "Snow Wolf Lake" last time, he did not pay too much attention to this movie at the beginning.

But the longer you stay in this crew, the more Zhang Xueyou can discover the excellence of this movie.

Not to mention the world's top dance team and singing and dancing director, the costumes and props are all top-notch, and the script is also very excellent. The more in-depth the filming is, the more you can feel the profound connotation it wants to express. Sometimes, Zhang Xueyou will fall into deep thought when holding the script, thinking about a certain passage in the script, which will arouse his memories or reflections.

It can be said that this is definitely a top Chinese movie, a film that can be touching and reflective. Perhaps its story is not inspirational, but it is profound enough, just like using a negative teaching material to tell people not to be blinded by flashy performances, what is your true heart.

Zhang Xueyou felt that he was improving every day when he was able to participate in such a crew. He was very satisfied with his acting skills in the past, but in the crew he found that even Ye Sumang was obviously better than him. So after joining the crew, he did not live the leisurely life he thought he was a day, but was immersed in learning every day and could not extricate himself.

Because of laziness, he is about to fall behind. He is Zhang Xueyou and he does not allow himself to become a burden to others.

"Mr. Zhang Xueyou, you..." Liu Yifei heard Zhang Xueyou's sigh and looked over in confusion. She saw that this shy and a little naughty man's eyes revealed a vicissitudes at this moment.

Looking at Liu Yifei with a hint of worry in her eyes, Zhang Xueyou smiled gently and explained: "It's okay, I just feel that it's a pity that I didn't meet Su Mang, a powerful director, early, otherwise I wouldn't have been filming dramas like now, but after filming so many years, I ended up being the title of "Indian actor". Without a trace of honor, I was still a laughing stock in many people's mouths."

"It's amazing to be an actor. I don't have the same honor." Liu Yifei replied calmly. She really doesn't think there is anything ridiculous about the 'Indian actor'.

In response to this, Zhang Xueyou could only shake his head. After all, Liu Yifei is still young and cannot understand his current feelings.

Although he debuted as a singer, Zhang Xueyou is actually very passionate about acting. He has played roles in more than 60 films, including those who are not as popular as the male lead. However, it seems that God always goes against him. Every time he feels that when he sees the hope of winning the best actor, he will always have a stronger opponent to defeat him. So that after nearly 20 years of filming, he has only won the title of "Actor of the Best Actress" at a third-rate Indian Film Festival, and has been ridiculed by many people as "Actor of the Best Actress".

He was very unwilling to accept that he had already won all the honors in the songs. Now the difference is the honors in film and television. This has really become a part of his heart. Therefore, after participating in this work, he became more and more fond of sighing.

If, just if, this movie can focus on the male lead, I guess it will definitely bring you a trophy for the best actor, right?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xueyou couldn't help but feel regretful, and sighed unconsciously.

He likes to keep things in his heart, so he thinks more than others, and he will inevitably feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

At this time, Ye Sumang and Zhou Xun had returned to the scene again and began to remake the scene they had just performed. This time, neither Liu Yifei nor Zhang Xueyou came over, but stood outside, looking at the figure in the plastic sheet, imagining the role they played.

After filming this scene twice, Ye Sumang was completely satisfied. After all, Zhou Xun's acting skills were indeed strong enough. As long as Ye Sumang said it once, she could find her state immediately and be able to use it skillfully in the next scene. Working with such an actor, Ye Sumang also felt that he had made great progress. Recently, he became more and more devoted to the role, and Zhou Xun was given a contribution.

Because there will be an indoor scene in a while, it is in that semi-basement, Ye Sumang and Zhou Xun will have to make up for it.

In the lounge, Liu Yifei sat aside in a daze, no longer as happy as before, but fell into deep thought and didn't say a word for a long time, which also attracted Ye Sumang's attention.

"Xixi, what are you thinking?"

"Ah? I'm thinking about something..." Liu Yifei was startled by Ye Sumang's sudden questioning, but then she reacted, looked at the makeup artist beside her, and said in embarrassment. It's not that she doesn't want to say what she thinks in her heart, but this matter involves others, and she feels that she can't say it in front of outsiders.

Ye Sumang saw her embarrassment and waved his hand to let the makeup artist leave the house first.

"It can be said this time." Ye Sumang said with a smile, but he didn't expect that this little girl would have some worries.

However, as Liu Yifei spoke, the smile on Ye Sumang's face gradually faded. It turned out that this incident had nothing to do with this little girl, and it was Zhang Xueyou's business.

"That's it. I heard Mr. Zhang Xueyou's feelings aside, but I didn't understand why he showed that regretful expression..." Liu Yifei wrinkled her little nose in distress, and looked at Ye Sumang with a confused look, hoping that he could give her an answer.

Ye Sumang naturally would not disappoint her. Although Liu Yifei only listened to it, Ye Sumang could already understand the reason why Zhang Xueyou was feeling.

"You are young, so naturally I won't understand because you still have a lot of youth to squander. But your Snow Friend is different. He is already in his forties. As he gets older, he has fewer and fewer opportunities to be a male lead. He himself attaches great importance to the honor of this movie hero, so he feels so emotional, just like those famous veterans in the NBA, who are famous and have high salaries, but they just lack a championship ring. Now your Snow Friend is lacking this 'Champion Ring' in the film and television industry."

Liu Yifei immediately understood what Ye Sumang said.

"Then he said it's a pity that he didn't meet you early, that means he thinks you are the super coach who can lead the team to win the championship!" The girl's face was completely lost, and it was filled with endless excitement, because from Ye Sumang's words, she inferred Zhang Xueyou's respect and recognition for her beloved person, which made her feel extremely proud.

Ye Sumang nodded, as if he had agreed to Liu Yifei's words.

This movie "If? Love" does carry Ye Sumang's great determination, and he is also confident that this work will shine in major film festivals next year, so Zhang Xueyou's feelings are confident that he can bear it.

"You are in the lounge for a while, I'll go find Brother Xueyou." After thinking about it, Ye Sumang felt that he should understand Zhang Xueyou's knot, which would be the best way to untie Zhang Xueyou.

Liu Yifei nodded obediently. The most pleasing thing about her delicate mind is that she can understand Ye Sumang's heart very much. She plays when she should play, and when she should be quiet.

Ye Sumang walked out of the lounge with a weed-like hairstyle. After a little inquiry, he knew where Zhang Xueyou was, which was the greenhouse where he and Zhou Xun were filming just now.

At this time, there were already many staff members outside the greenhouse, all holding big bowls and eating noodles in big mouthfuls. Ye Sumang was accused of this, and he specifically told the master to prepare these noodles, otherwise the props for filming would not be enough for these people to eat.

"Master Ye, come for midnight snacks too? Master Liu's dandan noodles are really amazing!"

"Yes, Director Ye, come in quickly, there is a location inside."

Ye Sumang's arrival caused a commotion. The staff who were gathered together to chat and eat noodles all stood up and greeted Ye Sumang enthusiastically. They were very kind in their words. For this big boy, they were their leader at work, but in private, they were indeed their favorite junior.

"Is Brother Xueyou in there?" Ye Sumang responded one by one with a smile before asking quietly, and many people nodded.

After confirming the location, Ye Sumang also walked in, but he did not go directly to find Zhang Xueyou who was sitting aside in a daze, but instead ordered Master Liu to make two bowls of dandan noodles before walking over.

"Brother Xueyou, what are you thinking?" Ye Sumang asked with a relaxed look on his face.

"It's Su Mang." Zhang Xueyou looked up and found that it was Ye Su Mang. Then he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just here to eat a bowl of noodles."

Hua said with Rang, but his eyes revealed his worries, and Ye Sumang could see it at a glance.

Ye Sumang smiled and said nothing. After waiting for about five minutes, Master Liu came over with two bowls of dandan noodles. The snow-white noodles and spicy meat sauce looked like a big appetite.

Under Zhang Xueyou's somewhat surprised eyes, Ye Sumang took out two pairs of chopsticks, first handed them to Zhang Xueyou, and then he broke them open the chopsticks, picked up the noodles in the bowl, mixed them well, and took a big bite.

"It's delicious, Master Liu's craft is indeed this." Ye Sumang smiled and gave Master Liu a thumbs up not far away. He got Master Liu's embarrassed smile. He turned around and found that Zhang Xueyou was still staring at the noodles in a daze, and immediately said, "Brother Xueyou, let's eat it."

"Haha." Zhang Xueyou smiled helplessly, saying that it was a midnight snack, but it was just an excuse. Now that the noodles are really in front of him, he didn't have the intention to swallow it, even though the fragrance emitted by the noodles is so tempting.

Ye Sumang just advised him and said nothing. He just kept consuming noodles. In just five minutes, a large bowl of noodles entered Ye Sumang's stomach.

"Brother Xueyou, why is this not what you like?"

"Of course not." Zhang Xueyou immediately waved his hand when he heard Ye Sumang's question, and then said with a wry smile: "I have no appetite."

"Ha, that's a bargain." Ye Sumang laughed loudly, snatched the noodles in front of Zhang Xueyou like a greedy cat, and began to stir it skillfully.

Looking at Ye Sumang's actions, Zhang Xueyou couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Xueyou." At this moment, Ye Sumang, who was stirring the noodles, suddenly slowed down his subordinates' movements and said in a calm tone: "Sometimes... you have to say something in your heart. Only by saying it can you be expressed. Always keep it in your heart, you will become a heart-wrenching illness."

Zhang Xueyou was stunned. What does Ye Sumang mean?

It seemed that he felt Zhang Xueyou’s doubts. Although Ye Sumang lowered his head and accompanied him, he continued to say, "Xiqian mentioned a few words to me. I understand Brother Xueyou’s thoughts."

This time, Zhang Xueyou suddenly realized that it was Liu Yifei who had just said those stupid words that were just now, and he did not blame Liu Yifei for talking too much, but was very grateful to her. Without her words, I am afraid that he could only keep things in his heart.

But now that he has made a fuss, Zhang Xueyou doesn’t mind talking to Ye Sumang.

"Actually, this is purely my own heart disease. You know that I have been filming dramas for so many years, but I have never won a meritorious Best Actor Award. Sometimes I think I have acted well and the script is also very good, but it's just one step away. I haven't touched that honor in twenty years. My friend Tony Leung has already had several actors, and Andy Lau has been the same in recent years. Only me..."

"Seven points to winning an award depend on strength and three points to luck. You must have a good script, and good roles and good acting skills. However, sometimes you have to choose good opponents, just like the 67th Oscars. Morgan Freeman's "Shockishon's Redemption" hadn't met Tom Hanks' "Forrest Gump", that movie champion would definitely be Freeman."

The Oscar-winning Oscar winner competition was considered by many people to be the most exciting one. The two still argued about each other's comparisons. Unfortunately, since Yu and He Shengliang were born, the two excellent actors in the two excellent films must decide a victory or defeat.

Ye Sumang said this to Jacky Cheung, just to use this comparison to enlighten him.

"Haha, you're right. Sometimes, not only do you have to be strong enough, but you do need some luck." Zhang Xueyou smiled. He had encountered such a thing. The original "Man Forty" could have won him the award of the Best Actor Award for the Academy Awards, but he had no choice but to meet Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Football", and he ended up losing with hatred.

"Actually, you are depressed, I am also very depressed." Looking at Zhang Xueyou's face gradually having a smile, Ye Sumang also smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Although I have been in the industry for two years, I have not won a big prize. By the way, there are still people outside who think that the movies I made are just for box office."

This is true. Even the media in "If? Love" believes that Ye Sumang's follow-up work on "Singing and Dance" is to re-enter the money of the general public.

Zhang Xueyou was happy. He could understand this from some lines in the script, because he played a director himself, Ye Sumang inevitably incorporated some of his thoughts when he created this role, so Zhang Xueyou could more or less understand Ye Sumang's equally bitter mood when reading the script.

"Su Mang, I believe that as long as this movie is released, it will definitely bring you countless honors. Unfortunately, if the plot of this movie is more biased towards the male lead, I might be able to take the opportunity to sprint for the title of the Best Actor!" Zhang Xueyou said with a smile, with a relaxed expression on his face.

But his words stunned Ye Sumang.

The plot is a little more favorable to the male protagonist? Why didn’t I think about it before? Now that I think about it carefully, the direction of the plot is indeed too focused on Sun Na’s line. This undoubtedly conceals the style of the two male protagonists, especially the role played by Zhang Xueyou, which has almost become a supporting role.

Now the plot is only one-third, and everything has not yet unfolded, Ye Sumang's thoughts have become alive. If we can try our best to increase the role of the male protagonist and make the collision between the two more intense and profound, the whole movie may be sublimated again. Thinking of this, countless wonderful ideas popped out of Ye Sumang's mind and began to organize them into plots...

"Su Mang..." Seeing Ye Su Mang suddenly stunned, Zhang Xueyou couldn't help but exclaim softly.
Chapter completed!
