[Comprehensive] This is the best actress

"Although it is the protagonist, the person who gave you this script, don't forget that he hasn't even decided on a director, a leading actor, or even other supporting roles." Jin Daoming looked at several scripts and disagreed with Liu Shimei's statement. Pull out one of the scripts, "Like this, a romantic comedy, with a large audience, can restore your popularity earlier."

Liu Shimei didn't answer. In fact, what she valued was naturally not the protagonist, but the script moved her. The reason why the script "Looking for" came to her was that after a party, Liu Shimei and Jin Daoming went to the garage, only to find a middle-aged man standing beside their nanny's car.

The man was wearing an old black suit. Although his hair had been carefully groomed, the wrinkles on the man's face were beyond what he should have at this age. Seeing Liu Shimei and Jin Daoming, the man smiled: "Miss Liu Shimei, I Here is a script, please take a look. Also, this is my business card, if Miss Liu Shimei is interested in the script, please call me."

Obviously, the man did not enter the party scene. The reason why he appeared next to Liu Shimei's nanny car was probably because he found out about Liu Shimei's itinerary.But Liu Shimei didn't open the script when she got it, no matter the screenwriter or the director, when a movie needs to be made, the script is indeed important, but the most important thing is to have the sponsor's support!

Otherwise, without money, how to start a plan to shoot a movie?And this man didn't even go to an ordinary party. Liu Shimei was very negative about whether he could pull down the sponsorship. Therefore, Liu Shimei just put the script aside.

Until one night, Cui Yingdao was lying on the bed and saw Liu Shimei coming out of the bathroom, shaking the poor script that didn't even have a cover in his hand: "This script is very good, I think if it can be filmed, it will definitely be taken." Selected at the film festival."

Only then did Liu Shimei look directly at this "Looking", which is common among the many scripts she has read. Movie scripts are generally not too long. "Looking" is about the 80s of the last century. Unable to get the opportunity to teach in urban schools, in order to ensure her livelihood, she eventually returned to teach in rural schools.

Li Damei grew up in the countryside. Even in high school, she still has an inferiority complex in her bones.While in school, she apparently disliked her roommate's behavior, but she secretly wore her roommate's clothes when her roommate was away.After graduation, all the roommates got jobs, but Li Damei, who had the best grades, finally returned to the countryside due to various reasons.

Back in the countryside, Li Damei flaunted her differences from other rural people. She became a "heterogeneous" in the eyes of other villagers, and because men often peeked at Li Damei, the women secretly called Li Damei a vixen and said she stole men.

In the class led by Li Damei, the students are all good, but they are not used to Li Damei's Mandarin. Their usual teachers always speak the local dialect in class, so Li Damei often speaks on the podium, and the students below all snicker .Even though Li Damei is a teacher, they don't respect her because their parents are talking about Li Damei.

But Li Damei didn't care about these, and even when the student was about to drop out of school due to family circumstances, Li Damei came to talk to him.At the end of the movie, the class led by Li Damei became the first class in the village to be admitted to university, but Li Damei, who was once criticized by the villagers, was now respected by everyone.

The script is very simple, and the prominent Li Damei is very contradictory. On the one hand, she wants to go out of the countryside and go to the city to develop her ambitions, but on the other hand, she hopes that the rural people she represents can have a future and impress the city people.

What impressed Liu Shimei the most was that Li Damei came to persuade her students to continue studying, but the head of the family was the woman who scolded Li Damei the most fiercely behind her back. When she came to the door for the first time, Li Damei was chased away by her with a broom come out.The second time, she threw pebbles and scolded her to go out. It was not until the fifth time when she came to the door that the woman agreed to let Li Damei sit down and talk.

"It's a rare script." Liu Shimei looked at the screenwriter's name written on the script, coupled with Cui Yingdao's words, Liu Shimei made a decision in her heart.

At this time, Jin Daoming disagreed with her point of view, so Liu Shimei explained each item to Jin Daoming.

"Shimei, do you think that even if such a movie is made, how many people will go to the theater to watch it? Nowadays, people like to watch comedies or Hollywood blockbusters, and let them spend money to watch these kinds of movies." Jin Daoming clasped his arms around his chest, shaking Shaking his head, "I guess we can't even recover the cost."

"If this script can be produced, don't think about recovering the cost. It's for the film festival." Liu Shimei smiled, "If he can get sponsorship, then I will definitely act."

Seeing that Liu Shimei was so determined, Jin Daoming stopped saying anything.He found the business card that the person had given him, and called the number on it, but when the call was connected, Liu Shimei snatched it: "Mr. Jin Min, I am Liu Shimei, may I ask for your "Looking" Did you get sponsorship?"

"..." The other party didn't seem to expect it to be Liu Shimei, and only heard the sound of paper being turned over before the voice came, "I have already got 80.00% of the sponsorship, and the director has also been confirmed. I am still looking for the soundtrack." on."

Although Jin Ming was surprised that Liu Shimei would call, he understood the purpose of Liu Shimei's call.I specially told all the progress I have completed, and I really heard the answer I wanted. The smooth progress during this period made Jin Ming feel very good. Now that Liu Shimei has confirmed to join the group, he is even more happy: "Once everything is ready , I will notify you in advance, by the way, the director is Lee Soon Jae."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Shimei turned to look at Jin Daoming, with a little surprise and joy in her smile: "Director Lee Soon-jae was actually found by Jin Ming."

"Really?" Hearing this, Jin Daoming also understood Liu Shimei's weird smile. Director Li Shunzai is good at realistic techniques, but at the same time he can use colors to the extreme. Although the film can win awards, it does not sell well, so almost no works have been released in recent years.Now hearing that director Lee Soon Jae joined, Kim Daoming is no longer dissatisfied with Yoo Se Mi's decision.

Half a month later, Liu Shimei got a call from Jin Ming, and after having a meal with Director Lee Soon-jae and other crew members, the production officially started.Because Li Damei was studying in high school and looking for a job after that, the crew found a school with a sense of age and filmed scenes of living in a dormitory.

Li Damei was holding a thick book and immersed herself in her studies. The bedroom door was opened from the outside with a bang, and one of her roommates, Liu Xi, rushed in, wearing a white shirt, red bell-bottom pants, and a tie around her neck. The red ribbon, seeing Li Damei, Liu Xi did not hide his gaze: "Damei is really the most hardworking person in our dormitory." The words were full of contempt that could not be ignored.

Li Damei didn't answer, just looked at Liu Xi quietly, until Liu Xi could not stay any longer, then hurriedly took her things and left the dormitory.After she left, Li Damei got up and locked the bedroom door, and secretly opened Liu Xi's closet. Looking at the colorful clothes that she had never had before, Li Damei was extremely envious, and gently stroked each piece of clothing. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, Li Damei took a look at the locked door and the tightly closed curtains, took off a beautiful dress, stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, and gestured in front of her.

Unsatisfied yet, Li Damei carefully took off her dirty clothes and put on Liu Xi's dress.Looking at herself in the mirror, Li Damei felt that this was a completely different her, with incomparable happiness and satisfaction, but thought that this was not hers, but she stole it, so she frowned and tightened her fists: "In the future, these I get it all!"

"Cut!" Director Li Shunzai confirmed the picture in his camera, and nodded in satisfaction, "This is over, let's touch up the makeup, and I will take some close-ups later."

Liu Shimei waved her hand to the warm water that Jin Daoming handed over, sat on the seat, and let the makeup artist touch up her makeup with her head up.After hearing the director's words again, he stepped forward to prepare the close-up shots. For Liu Shimei in this state, not only Jin Daoming was satisfied, but also Li Shunzai.

He originally planned to spend half a month shooting scenes in the city, but because of Liu Shimei's performance, it only took ten days, and then he moved to the countryside.When he got there, Liu Shimei didn't know how Director Li Shunzai found this small village. It was located at the foot of the mountain, and the entire village was estimated to be only about [-] households.

I heard that there are people who come to make movies, and almost the whole village has come to watch. Here, only the old people and children are left. Except that they have to go to the fields to do farm work, these people are watching from the sidelines even with their jobs.They don't pay attention to any celebrities, so they just make fun of it. After seeing Liu Shimei, an old man even said with emotion: "Why do movies still come to the countryside to shoot?"

"We just shoot the countryside." Liu Shimei explained with a smile.

The child who dropped out of school in the play is a child actor, and the rest are children from the village who were found by the director.The rural schools in the play are originally poor and backward, and there are children of several ages in a classroom, so this approach is normal.When the villagers heard that their children could be on camera and get money, they all expressed their willingness to participate in the performance.

"Ms. Liu, do you really want to compose music here?" Liu Shimei was wearing a woolen suit, which was exactly the clothes in the 80s, her hair was tied up casually, and there was a tacky flower on her head. I was taking a break off the court, chatting with the soundtrack artist.

She has never been in contact with this kind of music. Even in the past, the soundtrack of TV or movies was post-production, and it was the first time she encountered a soundtrack created on the spot.This Mr. Liu is a friend of director Lee Soon Jae, so he agreed to compose the theme song for "Looking" this time.

"Yeah." Mr. Liu nodded with a smile, looked at Liu Shimei, "you have to act well."

"I will!"
