Chapter 267: The Beautiful Thing That Became an Instant Fame
The days when he COSed as the King of Sunglasses on the crew were happier than Bai Youlou had imagined.

In the past, he really hated those guys who couldn't speak human language and just said some obscure and naughty words.

Now. Question, understand, and become.

Don't say it, really don't say it.

It's quite interesting when you don't speak human language.

Of course, the interesting point is that there are people who actually believe it.

Liu Manli was very addicted to this feeling. She even didn't want to listen to Bai Youlou's normal words. She just wanted to listen to those confusing things.

After all, the shooting effect is there~
Liu Manli felt that it was a blessing for her to find Bai Youlou. Under his "guidance", not to mention other things, the texture of the story shots alone seemed to be significantly different from that of other directors.

However, she was obviously a little confused.

Nanako always feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity when looking at the footage shot these days.

After thinking for a while, it suddenly dawned on me!

Ah yes! This feeling is very similar to the film "Before Sunrise" that Bai Youlou filmed with An Luning before.

It's even somewhat similar to the technique used in "Dying to Survive".

"Better Days" was filmed in the same city as "Before Sunrise".

With the mountain city as the backdrop, Bai Youlou can always capture people’s visual impact with pleasing neon lights and a sea of ​​flowers.

The aura, artistic conception and posture captured by the lens seem somewhat poetic.

In technical terms,
"Well, if you want to make everyone in the picture look radiant, you have to let the photographer keep the camera in the same position during the shooting process, and capture the top light, side light, back side light and other different light positions to make the characters look different."

Liu Manli disagreed with Bai Youlou's "guidance". "I heard from my teacher that now everyone likes to use multi-camera global lighting, which allows for faster shooting, more angles, and higher tones, and can take care of the exposure of every detail."

Bai Youlou nodded, "Yes, that kind of picture is brighter, and the actors' faces appear clean and free of blemishes, but the lighting effect is flat and not three-dimensional enough. It is more suitable for variety shows and TV dramas."

In the "debate" with Bai Youlou, Liu Manli was completely at a disadvantage. After all, compared to the "mentor" from the Film Academy, what Bai Youlou said was certainly more valuable.

In fact, Bai Youlou did not cheat her. He did the same thing when making his own movies, especially when shooting some important shots. He started doing this from his first movie "Whiplash".

This type of technique is mainly used to shoot characters. It was rarely used in "The Dreamers", and other methods were used instead.

The culmination of this work is "Before Sunrise" which he collaborated with An Lu Ning.

He used a lot of telephoto lenses in that movie.

Blur the background, blur the edges.

Large area of ​​dark tones, narrow field of view, white space, afterimages, and close-ups of faces.

The picture appears both affectionate and bizarre.

This telephoto lens gives people an unstable virtual feeling.

In this extremely romantic scene, the girl looks like a dream, as bright as jade.

It has both a confusing and charming sense of story and a multi-dimensional sense of space.

So until now, there are fans of An Lu Ning saying that "Before Sunrise" is the best movie made of their Lu Bao.

The pinnacle of true beauty.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it means that there is a strong sense of space, and in this sense of space, the perspective seems to be being spied on.

It allows the viewer to be more immersed in the story, and with every move of the people in the painting, this telephoto lens seems to breathe.

The light was like countless pairs of eyes, she was being watched, but she didn't know it.

"Nana, don't be so deliberate. Hold back your posture a little. If you are too graceful, you will look coquettish in the photos, which is not in line with your personality."

Nanako felt very uncomfortable.

She especially wanted to be photographed as beautifully as Bai Youlou. That kind of "watching a fire from the other side of the river" tone made a girl like her who loved beauty feel unable to stop.

But she really can't.

Who makes her the heroine?
Her character doesn't allow her to be so coquettish. What Bai Youlou needs is that broken but tough feeling.

This really troubled Nana, as she had prepared herself to star in a melodramatic youth film.

As a result, after I joined the crew, more and more things seemed wrong. I was confused and even lost my way.

On the contrary, her "little apprentice" Lu Xiaoxiao can enjoy such treatment, which makes the girl very happy. Even if she is wearing a school uniform, she can still use it as wallpaper if she cuts it.

She played a vicious female supporting role, which pushed her one step further towards the controversial path. In the future, she will probably follow Nanako's example and take the black-and-red route, and then whitewash herself depending on the situation.

But no matter how vicious it is, it is truly beautiful.

There are many ways to survive in the entertainment industry, and one should not let one's values ​​be guided too much by one's facial expressions. Lu Xiaoxiao saw this very clearly, so she was very cooperative.

No matter what her personality is, beauty comes first.

This kind of beauty even made the original author of the novel lose his mind. He turned a blind eye to the script that was tampered with by Bai Youlou and Xiajier, and was obsessed with the movie shots.

When novels are adapted into movies or TV series, the original author’s say can be greater or lesser.

For example, this guy whose pen name is Han Ming, has a lot of say, and it seems that he will be deeply involved in the screenwriting work of any adaptation of his works.

Generally speaking, this is correct.

But it also depends on the status.

Bai Youlou stood there, really not wanting him to touch the script. This guy couldn't even read it.

But he is not such an unreasonable person. His main idea is "harmony brings wealth", so how can he not let others read the script?

But there is no complete script for "Better Days" now. Today's script may change tomorrow.

Bai Youlou just put it there and put it in bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste.

Anyway, Liu Manli has already "invested". In her opinion, the current script was discussed by her and Bai Youlou, and it is also part of her hard work. There is nothing wrong with it.

At the same time, my expectations for this movie are growing. I feel particularly good about myself and think that I can make a pretty good movie as my debut as a director.

When people are happy, they are in high spirits, and Bai Youlou is also happy with him.
There is no need to hide it in the crew anyway. As the leading actor and "special consultant", Bai Moumou needs to have long talks with director Liu Manli Liu frequently, so living together is also for work.

Everyone thinks there is no problem, it’s for work and art.

Only Nanazi had some complaints, but facing Liu Manli's strong suppression, she did not dare to charge forward as aggressively as she did against Jiang Yuanchu.

From a little green tea to a little grievance~
There is always someone who can defeat you. In front of Liu Manli, Nanazi is very honest.

But he was too honest. Bai Youlou thought, with Jiang Yuanchu's example, if Nana was a little bolder, she might be able to do it again.

Isn’t one of the traditions of Manli Entertainment that the old ones bring up the new ones?

If Nana really dared to come over in the middle of the night, considering Liu Manli's current mood and the fact that she had already experienced something exciting, she might be willing to turn a blind eye and play with her.
Unfortunately, Nana doesn't dare to do that.
Even though Bai Youlou gave her a hint, she still didn't dare to do it.

On the contrary, her "apprentice" Lu Xiaoxiao is bolder. She often hangs around the gym late at night, and occasionally meets Bai Youlou, and then asks our Director Bai to teach her how to exercise.

Bai Youlou is a good person.

How could I refuse a sincere request for help from a girl who loves to wear yoga pants?
He will definitely help if he can.

It’s definitely not because Lu Xiaoxiao is such a brave girl, there is nothing in the Yoga Road!

But young girls these days do have a lot on their mind, and they always think about becoming famous overnight.

To be honest, becoming an overnight sensation is indeed a good way to go.

Of course, sometimes one shot may not be enough, and it may take many times to consolidate the situation.

But Bai Youlou actually can't really follow this approach. First of all, he doesn't really follow the so-called unspoken rules and promote others.

He always flirts with ready-made ones.

Choose the right person and then have a relationship with him or her.

I could help out though.

However, he did not dare to help for too long, and he did not know who spread the news. After Lu Xiaoxiao ran to the gym to block him, many young ladies from the crew came over after smelling the smell.

Actually, it doesn’t matter. If he flirts with one person, he can do the same with a group of people.

But who could have known that Miss Zhao Mia would actually come over and let him take advantage of her, which was not an easy advantage to take.

Bai Youlou had learned his lesson from An Luning.

It’s okay for the more open-minded, rich and beautiful girls who just want to have fun, but for those who are not open-minded and are relatively conservative, or even have never been in a relationship, it really brings great pressure.

Faced with the temptation of a wealthy son-in-law, not everyone can resist it.

Fortunately, Bai Youlou is a gentleman and he has the ability to remain calm even when a beautiful woman sits on his lap.

But Liu Manli was a little curious. What was going on? This little bastard gave it so cleanly.

She almost couldn't help but pinch it to see if she could squeeze out some more.

In short, Bai Youlou really put a lot of thought and effort into Liu Manli's debut film.

There is not a single drop in any aspect!
In fact, Bai Youlou couldn’t stay in the crew of "Better Days" all the time.

Going out for a stroll with Jiang Yuanchu some time ago was considered a rare vacation. After all, "Dying to Survive" made such a big splash, he probably won't be able to relax until next year.

Even though I have joined the group now, I still receive many invitations, many of which I cannot refuse.

So he had to leave the crew every now and then, or simply do other things in the crew, such as giving interviews.

Some of the media outlets that come to interview us are well-known, and it is difficult to refuse them outright, especially when they are giving us face.

Magazines like "Times" and "People" are either high-end or red and professional, and I can't refuse them at all.

Mr. Bai is almost becoming a typical representative figure.

Fortunately, it is positive.

It's quite magical to say. He used to be a representative figure in the circle who seduced the second sister-in-law, and later he was a notorious lunatic in the circle. But as his achievements became more and more awesome, the adjectives used to describe him became more and more positive.

To be honest, even if he really tried to seduce his second sister-in-law now, he would probably be suppressed by his halo.

At most, you can stop being an actor and become a professional director, there is no problem at all.

As for Fengpi, he hasn't gone crazy for a while. After all, no one dares to mess with him.

Having a better reputation and attracting more attention from the audience and superiors has both pros and cons.

One of the disadvantages is that Bai Youlou still can't go on a date with "ten people".

Zhao Su really has the ability to organize a party, he is so sincere!
He even sent Bai Youlou an updated list every once in a while.

The latest list contains at least third-tier female stars.
But to be honest, after updating to this extent, Bai Youlou is not very interested in "keeping a date" anymore.

They are at least third-tier female stars. Can they really have a silver party with him?

Many people's interest in female stars mainly comes from their fame. With the same appearance, female stars are more unique and precious.

But if you gather them together, this blessing will not increase, but decrease.

Because that wouldn't be surprising.

It would be better to let Lao Zhou call ten or eight young models
"Brother Lou, come with me to participate in a show and I'll find you a young model!"

"I can think of a way to use the name of 'Dying to Survive' to promote your movie. I can shamelessly put up a slogan that says 'Dying to Survive's original crew is here.'"

"I have already used this trick. I just want to consolidate it. Brother Lou, this is our company's own film. You can't favor one over the other."

Bai Youlou felt quite embarrassed after hearing this, as if he was blinded by the beauty.

Well, he does have a bit of
Xiao Wu on the other end of the phone was almost crying. The first promotion of "Lost in Thailand" has already started, but the male lead Bai Youlou and the female lead Nanako are "locked" in the crew by Liu Manli.

There is no need to say much about Bai Youlou, and even Nanazi is actually a good publicity expert.

Although she is not popular and often criticized, she has a good show effect! And she is really beautiful, and she is really good at publicity.

Xiao Wu was looking forward to it, hoping that Bai Youlou would bring Nanazi out to participate in the promotion of "Lost in Thailand".

But there was no way Liu Manli would let anyone go.

Compared to their role in "Lost in Thailand", these two are definitely the male and female protagonists in "Better Days".

In "Lost in Thailand", at least there are Long Ziqiang and Bai Youlou who have comparable roles, and Nanako's role is not considered the only female lead. How could Liu Manli let them go?

Besides, Xiao Wu’s reputation is still a little small.

Even though the micro-film "Old Boy" had a good reputation and received good response, many people in the circle remembered the name Wu Mugun.

But Xiao Wu has not yet proven himself in serious theater movies.

However, compared to Bai Youlou's initial start, the difficulty he faces is relatively simple. From the perspective of film investment, cast, subject matter, etc., as a new director, his chances of success are quite high.

And it’s not that he cannot fail. At least Bai Youlou is still willing to give him a chance.

so.
