This was the anti-theft stamp.
Xie Yifeng's face was obviously tired. When Fang Lin saw him..,
Her attitude was obviously much warmer than Zhou Yuhe's formulaic smile,
"Yifeng..,
Don't tire yourself out too much. No matter what, your health is the most important. "
Xie Yifeng smiled generously,
"I'm fine,
But you, Teacher Fang..,
If you keep frowning like this, it won't look good. "
Fang Lin waved her hand in embarrassment,
"Teacher, you're already so old..,
What's there to say about looking good or not. "
Xie Yifeng's innate social skills were really something that others could not be envious of.
Zhou Yuhe looked at Xie Yifeng, but his gaze was attracted by the manager beside him.
It was a short, fat old man who stood beside Xie Yifeng and looked two heads shorter than him. He had a kind smile on his face.
In fact, he didn't look as old as he looked,
He was only in his fifties,
But half of his head was covered by snow-white hair, making him look a lot older.
The smile on his face was very kind,
It made Zhou Yuhe couldn't help but think of the Maitreya Buddha he saw on his grandfather's desk when he was young.
In the entertainment industry..,
The pressure of a manager's work was quite great,
Not only did they have to deal with a lot of schedule matters, but they also had to have sharp eyes, tough hands, and swift and decisive work efficiency,
So most of the time..,
They all looked smart and capable,
Or sophisticated. An agent like him, who was as kind and amiable as the old man next door, could be said to be quite rare.
However, Zhou Yuhe knew that this was just a facade. To be able to lead Xie Yifeng from the ups and downs of his child star days to ten years of obscurity, and then to the peak of his acting career for the next twenty years, becoming a legend that countless people looked up to, this uncle named Xu Feng was definitely not an ordinary person.
Xu Feng seemed to feel his gaze and looked in his direction. Suddenly, he smiled, and the wrinkles on his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
Zhou Yuhe nodded at him, which could be considered as a greeting.
There were a total of three lead actors, but only Xie Yifeng and Zhou Yuhe were present today.
Zhang Liran, who played the female lead, had a schedule in Korea, so she couldn't attend.
Before this, she, Director Cai, and Fang Lin had already read the script alone, so today's reading session was mainly focused on the two roles of Shen Yan and Xu Chang.
The reading session began.
First, the scriptwriter Fang Lin gave an in-depth analysis of the core of the work.
The whole story revolved around six high school students in Grade 1, Class 4 of the Affiliated High School of National Normal University. It described the high school life that ordinary people should have. There were family ties, friendship, and neighborly relationships … Compared to traditional youth dramas, there were not many elements of love. Instead, it was more about the scriptwriter's deep understanding of life and youth.
It was simple but very real, cruel but full of true feelings.
The portrayal of warm family ties, pure friendship, and cruel reality was just like our real lives. It made people laugh, but at the same time, they would cry because of the twists and turns of the plot … This was the most touching part of "Back to Youth".
After Fang Lin finished, it was time for Xie Yifeng and Zhou Yuhe, which was the love line of the story. This part started from the moment the female lead, Yang Dingding, got into the Affiliated High School of National Normal University.
On her first day of school, she was punished to run away, and she accidentally ran into Xu Chang's "territory". Xu Chang originally wanted to hit her on the head, but when he realized she was a girl, he gave up.
The plot didn't follow the melodramatic development of idol dramas, where the female lead and the second male lead lived a happy life of quarreling with each other. Instead, they simply arranged for Xu Chang to appear. The refreshing and refreshing beginning made people feel comfortable after watching too many melodramatic idol dramas.
"When Xu Chang first appeared, he didn't have much feelings for Yang Dingding," Xie Yifeng analyzed methodically. "All his focus was on how to fight against his family. His parents were divorced, and his father often stayed out at night, but he had high standards for him. He wanted to resist, he wanted to fight, so he deliberately pretended to be a hooligan in school. Even when he was threatened by the dean to drop out of school, he refused to reveal that his father was on the board of directors. His rebellious and unreasonable personality made him seem out of place in the Affiliated High School of National Normal University.
"He was used to hiding everything in his heart, because when he was a child, he begged his parents not to divorce him countless times, but no one listened to his wishes. From then on, he believed that there was no need to say the impossible. Not only would it not come true, but it would also embarrass everyone. Because of this, he had never once confessed his true feelings to Yang Dingding. He had always used jokes to hide his cowardice and cowardice.
"He wasn't a gentle person, but he did all the gentle things for Yang Dingding, but unfortunately, he never said it out loud. He longed for love, but because his family was broken, he was afraid to be too close to others, and at the same time, he was afraid to bear the risk of the person closest to him leaving. By the time he finally grew up and could face the loss, by the time he finally mustered all his courage and told her his true feelings through a joke, there was already someone else by her side … "
Xie Yifeng's voice always carried a strong sense of sorrow and regret, like a mellow melody, playing out the sadness and helplessness that everyone loved when they were young, but didn't dare to love, but couldn't. It hovered slightly in the wind, and finally disappeared …
Maybe there were times when you liked someone but didn't dare to admit it.
Maybe there were times when you were afraid that the person who integrated into your life would suddenly leave you one day without warning.
Maybe there was once a Xu Chang living in your heart …
Xie Yifeng's portrayal of the character was many times more detailed than Zhou Yuhe's sudden rebirth and forced him to do something beyond his abilities.
Furthermore, the angle was very special. When the point of view of "afraid of intimacy, afraid to bear the risk of losing" came out, Director Cai and Fang Lin were obviously stunned. It seemed that there was a deeper explanation for the matter of Xu Chang that was described as a teenager's awkwardness and hesitation. Many fragments were suddenly strung together by an invisible line, and a vivid image of Xu Chang suddenly emerged in everyone's mind.
Fang Lin sighed heavily.
This sigh wasn't to say that she was dissatisfied, but that she was very satisfied …
It was because of this satisfaction that she felt even more regretful that the other party couldn't act as Shen Yan.
Thinking up to this point, she couldn't help but glare at Director Cai, as if to say, "Look at this, Shen Yan and Xu Chang were so good, but now they can only protect Xu Chang!"
Director Cai felt that he was in the wrong, so he could only pretend not to see it. His eyes kept drifting out of the window.
After Zhou Yuhe finished retorting, he felt that something was wrong.
When he looked, Xie Yifeng was also stunned.
Then, the two of them laughed at the same time.
Xie Yifeng: "That's it, no need to be so polite, we're just taking what we need."
"No matter what, I owe you a big favor …"
"Then treat me to a meal," Xie Yifeng said seriously.
"Get lost," Zhou Yuhe scolded with a smile.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they were still good friends in their previous lives.
Zhou Yuhe left in a relaxed mood.
Xie Yifeng stared at Zhou Yuhe's back in a daze.
"It's only been a few days … He really is a talented actor." Xie Yifeng couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the other party's outstanding performance when reading the script.
"Didn't you see that his script is full of notes? What talent, it's just an illusion brought about by a lot of hard work in a short period of time. You have to put in the effort to be rewarded, Yifeng. "Xu Feng patted Xie Yifeng's shoulder and taught him with a kind face.
"You even know this? Uncle Xu, it seems like you really like him. Why don't you try while you can still pry him away? " Xie Yifeng teased. Putting aside the fact that the script was a very detailed matter, Xu Feng was sitting on both sides of the rehearsal hall, quite a distance away from Zhou Yuhe. It seemed like his agent's occupational disease was acting up for him to be able to observe a young man he had never met before.
Xu Feng shook his head. Zhou Yuhe's agent, the young man named Yang Yu, he remembered seeing him once at his teacher Fu Xiaoyu's place a few years ago.
That was a very ambitious, stubborn, and smart guy.
He could see Zhou Yuhe's malleability just from seeing him once, let alone Yang Yu, who he interacted with day and night. Zhou Yuhe might still be a newcomer, but with his attitude towards Zhou Yuhe, he was probably already a treasure that no one could pry away …
Xu Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if he was half a beat slower. Only then did he react. Xie Yifeng, this grown up kid, actually dared to joke with an old man?
Xu Feng calmly threw out a landmine, "I don't just know this, I also know that the kid seems to like you a lot."
"Like me?" Xie Yifeng blinked his eyes in confusion.
"His Weibo profile is a line from your first movie, you didn't expect that, did you?" Xu Feng walked away with an enigmatic smile on his face, leaving Xie Yifeng standing there with a dumbfounded look on his face.
*****
Not long after the script reading session, the crew officially started filming.
Since it was a youth drama, the cost was very low. It didn't need special effects like an action drama, nor did it need a magnificent historical building like a historical drama. The scale of the production team of "Back to Youth" was really not big, and there were usually only a few dozen people active on the set.
Although the scale of the crew wasn't big, the atmosphere of the entire crew was very good.
Perhaps they were influenced by the heartwarming plot of "Youth Again", everyone was very kind to each other, unlike other crew members who were either busy or had a straight face, as if they were ready to collect debts at any time.
This kind of atmosphere was naturally very warm for the staff who were used to working in big crews.
But for some people, it wasn't something to be happy about.
Zhang Liran, who played the role of the female lead, Yang Dingding, who was affected by her schedule in Korea, only joined the crew on the third day of filming.
As soon as she entered the crew, she felt that the atmosphere was different, and she immediately felt a little flustered.
If everyone was so lazy, how could they possibly finish filming within the stipulated filming period?
If the male lead was still the previous Xie Yifeng, then of course it would be different.
