an Ziyan brought Wen Minglan and Tu Song to visit the set. During the break in filming, Lu Yanhe took them around the school and told them what kind of story this was.
It was the first time for Wen Minglan and Tu Song to hear the story of this movie.
After listening to the story, Wen Minglan was deeply moved and said softly, "This story really touched me."
"Are you moved just by hearing this story so simply?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"Yeah." Wen Minglan said, "Especially the ending of your story. After so many years, you suddenly discovered that the boy who had teased you and left a mark in your memory was actually secretly in love with you... I don't know how you boys feel, but for us girls, if we knew that such a person existed after so many years, we would probably feel... very warm."
Lu Yanhe said: "That's good."
Wen Minglan asked: "When you write a story like this, it's really easy for people to wonder if you had a crush on a girl like this when you were in school."
This is not the only person who said this.
Lu Yanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If this story is really based on my real life experience, would I still write myself to death?"
This response was indeed something Wen Minglan did not expect. She said, "Haha, that's right."
Tu Song looked at Lu Yanhe and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.
He actually really wanted to pretend to casually mention the theme song, ending song or interlude of this movie, and he was willing to sing it.
But Chen Ziyan's reminders and instructions were like an imperial sword hanging before his eyes.
He still didn't say anything.
As Lu Yanhe's former teammate, Tu Song has never felt the gap between himself and Lu Yanhe more clearly than now.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable.
In fact, Tu Song was not very jealous of Lu Yanhe. He just felt that they had the same starting point, so why was he so far behind?
-
When Wen Minglan saw the heroine of this movie, Zhang Ruozhi, she felt quite complicated.
Because she originally thought that she could actually play this role.
At that time, she had fought with Chen Ziyan for it, but Chen Ziyan said that Lu Yanhe had already taken a fancy to a newcomer and there was no chance for her.
This time, Wen Minglan also wanted to see what kind of newcomer this was and why he was chosen by Lu Yanhe.
She had always felt that it would not be out of place for her to play a high school student now, and she didn't understand why Chen Ziyan didn't help her get this opportunity.
Now that she had seen Zhang Ruozhi with her own eyes, Wen Minglan understood everything.
Zhang Ruozhi just sat in her seat in a quiet corner of the classroom. Crew members were coming and going around her, but it seemed that they had no effect on her.
She lowered her head and was reading a book and doing homework.
The sunlight came in from the window and fell on her.
Wen Minglan thought that if it were her, she would probably stand up immediately and move to a place where there was no direct sunlight.
But Zhang Ruozhi sat in the sun without fear. Under the sunlight, one could even see the fine hairs on her cheeks.
She had no makeup on, her face was bare, but she was as pretty as a lotus flower emerging from clear water.
Wen Minglan suddenly realized why Lu Yanhe had to find a newcomer, a high school girl, to play this role.
However, she still couldn't help the jealousy that was overflowing in her heart.
She knew it wasn't right, but she couldn't help it.
A man reeking of alcohol walked towards me from the front.
Wen Minglan was stunned.
Why is it that someone in the crew smells of alcohol during the day?
She gave him a puzzled look.
The other person saw her, smiled and said, "Are you Wen Minglan?"
Wen Minglan nodded and said, "Hello, who are you?"
"I'm Bao Wenliang, the cinematographer of this film." Bao Wenliang smiled at Wen Minglan, "Are you here to visit the set?"
"Yes." Wen Minglan nodded.
Bao Wenliang: "Why are you alone?"
Wen Minglan said: "I'll go out for a walk by myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bao Wenliang's face suddenly changed. He turned around, supported himself against the wall with one hand, bent down, and vomited.
An unpleasant smell floated to Wen Minglan's nose.
It smells bad.
But if she just turned a blind eye and left at this time, it would seem that she was inhumane.
She could only force herself to stay where she was and asked, "Teacher Bao, are you okay?"
Bao Wenliang didn't bother to pay attention to him and vomited again.
Wen Minglan: “…”
She rummaged through herself, found a pack of tissues, pulled out a piece of paper, and handed it to Bao Wenliang.
-
Suddenly, the crew members became agitated, as if a switch was turned on.
Lu Yanhe was a little confused at first, not knowing what was going on.
He turned to look at everyone. Everyone was looking down at their phones, even Chen Ziyan.
Lu Yanhe picked up the phone in confusion, only then did he realize what had happened.
Regarding the Xu Qinyin pregnancy incident that caused a lot of controversy before, Ma Zhiyuan and Xu Qinyin finally came out to respond to this matter.
Xu Qinyin and Ma Zhiyuan announced that they would raise the child together and fulfill their responsibilities as parents.
Fans of both sides collapsed at this moment.
Fans often deceive themselves.
As long as their idols don’t come out to respond to this matter, they are willing to believe their idols. All reports are false, all evidence is false. In this era, everything can be false.
Until their idol came forward and admitted it.
The last straw that he relied on was also pulled away.
-
This incident caused too much of a stir in the entertainment industry.
Their response also avoided the main point and omitted the relationship between Ma Zhiyuan and Xu Qinyin.
It seems that Ma Zhiyuan has no intention of getting back together with Xu Qinyin just because her pregnancy was exposed.
Still don't want to be together.
No one knows what kind of agreement they reached or what consensus they achieved.
All in all, this response has brought the matter to a close.
Ma Zhiyuan and Xu Qinyin will not respond again.
If Ma Zhiyuan's conversation with his friends after drinking had not been exposed, the matter might have really ended there.
"Either Li Zhibai or Lu Yanhe deliberately told the media about Xu Qinyin's pregnancy. Only the two of them had the opportunity to know about it." Ma Zhiyuan obviously didn't realize that his words were recorded. "Xu Qinyin only told the people from Longyan Film Company about this. She quit the role. She has a play. Later, Li Zhibai will play the male lead in Liu Bige's new film. So who could have spread this news? Aren't they the only two people who can't stand my goodness?"
Ma Zhiyuan made his accusations and complaints while drunk, and even revealed a hint of grievance in the recording.
Ma Zhiyuan's remarks also made Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai a hot topic.
The main thing is that Ma Zhiyuan named and stated in the recording that it must be one of them who deliberately leaked the information to the media.
This basically meant sending Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai to the front of his diehard fans' anger, which had nowhere to vent.
Many people even say—
No matter what happened between Ma Zhiyuan and Xu Qinyin, it was a matter between the two of them. Stabbing someone in the back was just too disgusting.
This statement has also been liked and recognized by many people.
No one likes a snitch, and no one likes someone who stabs or steps on others in the back.
Even if this person really did something wrong.
In this matter, the ones who are even more angry are Xu Qinyin's fans.
If Li Zhibai and Lu Yanhe leaked this matter to the media because of their personal grudge against Ma Zhiyuan and wanted to take revenge on him, then Xu Qinyin had no connection with them at all.
Why should Xu Qinyin be hurt because of this?
Wouldn't this incident cause greater harm to Xu Qinyin?
Because of this recording, Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai were severely scolded by the fans of both groups. After seeing the situation online, Lu Yanhe was very angry.
First, the person who leaked this to the media was not him, and he believed that it was not Li Zhibai either. Neither of them was so shameless. If this matter only involved Ma Zhiyuan, they might really do so, but this matter also involved others, and they would not rashly do such harm. This matter was simply Ma Zhiyuan's imagination.
Second, Xu Qinyin’s fans also made him angry——
Ma Zhiyuan, a man who slept with your idol, got your idol pregnant and didn't take responsibility, and only reluctantly agreed to be the father after the news broke out, you didn't attack him in this situation, but instead attacked the person who exposed this matter? Are you out of your mind and don't know what's important?
Lu Yanhe really took a long, deep breath.
His eyes met Chen Ziyan's.
Chen Ziyan saw what he wanted to do at a glance.
She shook her head at him, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Lu Yanhe took another long breath.
A minute later, Chen Ziyan sent a message.
She came to him: "Send this."
Lu Yanhe picked up his phone and took a look.
——A big pot has fallen from the sky. As a father, you should learn to shoulder the responsibility on your shoulders and stop passing the buck when something goes wrong.
Lu Yanhe raised his head in shock and looked at Chen Ziyan.
ha?
Is this the look you gave me before to tell me not to be impulsive?
The lethality of this sentence was so great that just by looking at it now, Lu Yanhe had a premonition that if Ma Zhiyuan saw it, blood would rush to his head and his hair would stand on end with rage.
Chen Ziyan said: "Just post it like this, everything that needs to be said has been made clear in this sentence, so that he can't control his mouth and just talk nonsense."
Lu Yanhe happily copied, pasted, and posted this sentence.
Weibo has crashed.
-
When Wen Minglan and Bao Wenliang came out of the classroom together, they were confused by the atmosphere.
For the first time, the set was so quiet, yet there were so many undercurrents between people.
Even Bao Wenliang was a little confused. He caught a man and asked what happened.
So they reviewed what had happened in their absence.
Especially when they knew what Lu Yanhe had just done, they were all dumbfounded.
Bao Wenliang asked Wen Minglan in a low voice: "Is Lu Yanhe... so tough?"
"It's rare, but he can be quite cruel sometimes. If someone really crosses his bottom line, he will be very scary."
Bao Wenliang took a deep breath. "Isn't he... a very gentle person? I've never seen him lose his temper."
"Of course he won't lose his temper with you, he is a very stable person." Wen Minglan said, "But if you are his enemy, that's another matter. I have never seen anyone who has become his enemy and still has the upper hand in a fight with him."
Bao Wenliang swallowed and suddenly sobered up from the little bit of wine he drank at noon.
-
Here.
Li Zhibai complained on the phone: "I was about to scold him as a dog, but I found that I couldn't post anything! Weibo crashed! Then I looked again, damn, it was you who did it! Damn it!"
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Don't send it anymore, I've already sent it."
Li Zhibai: "Why? You've let out your anger, but I haven't let out mine yet! I have to hold it in myself to vent my anger."
Half an hour later, Weibo was finally rescued and returned to normal.
Li Zhi Baifa: If I had known that you had the bad habit of being a father, and I had secretly disclosed it to the media, would they still have a chance? Have you underestimated my disgust for you? Rot quickly.
Weibo crashed again.
-
Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai responded one after another, without any intention of apologizing. Of course, it was impossible for them to apologize.
However, their tough attitude, as if they were united in their hatred of a common enemy and ready to fight, shocked the entire Internet.
Again, everyone hopes to see the real side of artists, rather than the perfect side that is packaged by the company and the team.
From the perspective of mass entertainment, who doesn’t like to watch real people fighting?
Moreover, he did it personally.
However, neither Lu Yanhe nor Li Zhibai actually wanted to get caught up in this vortex of quarrels.
To be honest, for them, there is no need for this. However, they have been caught up in the surging public opinion and attacks, and cannot stay out of it. No matter how this vortex is spinning, they cannot stop it. They can only make themselves more violent to avoid being swept away by this vortex.
Weibo crashed twice——
This has also become a hot topic on the Internet. On the one hand, the collapse caused by Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai's remarks has been named by many as "Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai's battle to restore their reputation as top stars." If you are not a top star, you can't crash Weibo. On the other hand, their attitudes have also directly countered the large-scale attacks on them that appeared online before.
Their attitude is also clear: they will not take the blame for telling the media the news.
The controversy, which had finally died down, has once again come back to Ma Zhiyuan.
However, in this situation, Ma Zhiyuan pretended to be dead again.
Disappeared again.
-
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that after this incident, many crew members suddenly became much more respectful towards him.
Lu Yanhe didn't react at first. He felt it first from the photographer Bao Wenliang, and then from others.
Although he didn't say it, he could feel Bao Wenliang's attitude towards him in his heart.
As a new director, and a young new director in his early twenties who switched from being an actor, it is impossible for Bao Wenliang and other veterans who are in their forties and have been working in the entertainment industry for many years to take him seriously.
Including the fact that Bao Wenliang complained about Zhang Ruozhi in front of him on the first day of filming. This gesture itself was a provocation, a symbol of not taking Lu Yanhe seriously. Otherwise, which staff member would dare to find fault with the protagonist in front of the director on the first day of filming? If anyone is to find fault, it should be the director who does it - this is an offense to the director's authority.
However, Lu Yanhe didn't want to care too much about these things.
As long as they don't affect the filming of the movie and can help the movie be made smoothly.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yanhe's attitude did not change at all, but Bao Wenliang's attitude changed in the past two days. Lu Yanhe suddenly could not hear his complaints.
Then, not only Bao Wenliang, but other senior colleagues who were in similar situations as Bao Wenliang suddenly stopped being so pretentious.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that his counterattack against Ma Zhiyuan would have an unexpected effect.
-
"This Lu Yanhe doesn't look as gentle as he usually appears."
"What's there to say? This is normal. He's so young and he's already accomplished this. Do you think he's a dough Buddha that you can mold and knead at will?"
"You are speaking in hindsight now. Who said before that he is young, knows nothing, and can only rely on us?"
"Hasn't he been not afraid at all these days? He doesn't make stupid or psychotic demands, and he doesn't bother us either. That's good. So why should I compete with him?" Someone said, "Look at his attitude towards Ma Zhiyuan. He is merciless and ruthless. If we really make him angry, can we bear his anger?"
"If you're scared, just say it."
"If you don't want to back down, then just keep going."
"What can I say? What can I say?"
"..."
After this conversation, it did not arouse anyone's rebelliousness. On the contrary, everyone on the set respected Lu Yanhe more.
-
"Have you noticed that everyone in the crew is in awe of you now?" Xin Zixing asked Lu Yanhe in a low voice while eating that day.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"It seems that he was frightened by my previous attitude in refuting Ma Zhiyuan."
Xin Zixing said: "They probably realized that you are not the young director who is easy to bully as they imagined."
"They... didn't bully me, not in such an exaggerated way, they just didn't respect me that much." Lu Yanhe said, "If they didn't do their job well, I wouldn't bear it."
"Their abilities and skills are indeed beyond reproach, and they deserve the high price they were paid," Xin Zixing said. "I really admire the fact that Love Letter spent so much money to hire technical staff behind the scenes. The set design of this film is really first-class."
There are a lot of everyday scenes in "Love Letter".
However, the more everyday the scenes are, the more difficult it is to create a unique cinematic feel.
At least, the two scenes of the classroom and the library were specially built by the art team.
Including the library, in order to design the feeling of layers of bookshelves with the atmosphere of old times and piles of old papers in Lu Yanhe's script, the art team specially made seven or eight renderings for Lu Yanhe to choose from.
At the Jiangzhi Center, the angle between the book lending counter and the sunny window was not suitable for filming.
In order to film this most crucial scene in the movie, the layout was changed. The book registration counter was knocked down and a new one was built according to Lu Yanhe's impression of the layout in the movie.
The color of the wood, the degree of aging, the distance between the bookshelves, and the time of light and shadow that best meets the requirements of filming have all been carefully sorted out.
This is also why Xin Zixing said that the set design of this movie is first-class.
Because a lot of thought was put into the shape, color and layout, every scene in the movie is harmonious.
Most viewers may not be able to discover the secret, but everyone will subconsciously feel comfortable when seeing such a scene. (End of this chapter)
