261: Old Chen, I've finished filming my commercials and variety shows, and I'd like to come visit you.
"Really?" When Liu Haoran heard Wang Baoqiang's words, he thought Wang Baoqiang was just comforting him and didn't quite believe it.
"It's true. There's no need to worry about what happens if you laugh on set; we should definitely have some fun while filming. If we can't even laugh on set, how are we supposed to film a comedy?" Wang Baoqiang waved his hand and explained.
Hearing Wang Baoqiang's explanation, Liu Haoran felt slightly more at ease.
"Yeah, I understand, Brother Baoqiang," Liu Haoran said with a smile.
Wang Baoqiang's age was actually enough to be his uncle, but he felt that calling him "brother" sounded better.
After all, although Wang Baoqiang was that age, he looked like a young man of twenty-three or twenty-four, and he didn't look at all like a man who was about to step into his thirties.
"Good that you understand. When I first joined Director Chen's Film Crew, I was just like you. The first time I laughed on set, I was afraid it would be very serious, but actually, it's just like this; it's not a big deal as long as you don't keep laughing constantly." Wang Baoqiang nodded.
On the other side, Chen Le saw that Wang Baoqiang was talking to Liu Haoran and didn't rush them, instead watching quietly from the side.
Seeing that the two had nearly finished chatting, he spoke up: "Baoqiang, Haoran, have you rested enough?"
Hearing Chen Le's voice, Wang Baoqiang immediately made a "no problem" gesture.
Chen Le responded to them in kind.
Soon, the second shoot began. This time, Liu Haoran didn't laugh again and finished this segment very smoothly.
"Very good, Haoran, you performed well in this part!" Chen Le was not stingy with his praise.
Although the role of Character in this movie doesn't require much acting, for a newcomer like Liu Haoran to be able to reach this level is already considered very good.
On the other side, hearing Chen Le's praise, a smile couldn't help but surface on Liu Haoran's face; being able to receive Chen Le's praise made him feel very satisfied.
Wang Baoqiang also looked at Liu Haoran with a smile at this time and said, "Not bad, Haoran, your progress is much faster than mine was back then."
Upon hearing this, an excited expression immediately appeared on Liu Haoran's face.
He felt quite happy when Chen Le praised him, but Wang Baoqiang's praise made him feel very excited.
The reason was that Wang Baoqiang was his idol, and receiving recognition from his idol naturally made him more excited.
"OK, everyone take a break; we'll continue filming the rest later." Chen Le smiled as he looked at the members of the Film Crew, telling everyone to go rest.
The Film Crew members couldn't help but cheer when they heard Chen Le's words.
In Chen Le's Film Crew, there were rarely times when they were exceptionally busy; the filming speed was fast, and there was plenty of rest time.
The number of NGs was also relatively low; compared to other directors' Film Crews, they were very willing to continue working in Chen Le's Film Crew.
Hearing it was time to rest, Liu Haoran went to the break room along with Wang Baoqiang.
"Brother Baoqiang, can you teach me how to act this part?" Liu Haoran looked at Wang Baoqiang and asked for advice humbly.
Even though it was time to rest, he was still very diligent and wanted to learn more knowledge.
He knew he was a newcomer, but the Character he was playing was the lead, which undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on him.
Precisely because he was the lead, he needed to work even harder so that he could be worthy of this role.
Since Chen Le trusted him and gave him this role, he naturally couldn't let Chen Le down.
Otherwise, not only would he himself be unable to accept it, but even the movie fans wouldn't accept it either.
Hearing Liu Haoran's words, Wang Baoqiang agreed immediately; regarding Liu Haoran's request for advice, he was very willing to teach him.
Now he finally knew the feeling of teaching someone; the sense of achievement gained after this kind of teaching was indeed very different.
On the other side, Chen Le was resting in the break room.
His break room was a separate room with simple decorations inside.
Chen Le sat down and took out his phone.
The screen showed a message that Yang Mi had just sent.
"Old Chen, I've finished filming my commercials and variety shows, and I want to come visit you."
Seeing Yang Mi's message, a smile appeared on Chen Le's face.
"Sure! If you want to come, I'll have Sister Li help you with your visa," Chen Le replied to her.
"Great, I haven't been to Thailand yet; have Sister Li help me with it," Yang Mi replied with a smile when she saw Chen Le's message.
Yang Mi knew Zhang Li and also knew that Zhang Li was the manager of Chen Le's company.
Speaking of which, Zhang Li had already been working at Morning Star for several years.
"Alright, when do you plan to come?" Chen Le asked.
"I'm not sure yet; I'll come whenever the visa is ready," Yang Mi said somewhat vaguely.
"Visas are actually processed quite quickly; it will definitely be done within this week," Chen Le thought for a moment, his fingers tapping on the phone screen.
"Okay, I'll tell you when my visa is ready," Yang Mi replied once more.
Afterward, Chen Le pulled up his contact list and dialed Zhang Li's number.
On the other side, Zhang Li was busy in her office back home when she suddenly received an international long-distance call from Chen Le.
Seeing it was Chen Le's call, Zhang Li thought he had some urgent matter and hurriedly answered the phone.
"Hello, Boss, is something the matter?"
"Yeah, Sister Li, I have something I need you to do for me..." Chen Le said, telling Zhang Li about Yang Mi's visa.
Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it was this; she had thought it was something else, but it was just to get a visa for Yang Mi.
This visa matter was nothing to Zhang Li; after all, she had handled so many visas to Thailand for the Film Crew members that she was already an expert at it.
"No problem, Boss, I'll take care of this for you," Zhang Li agreed immediately.
Hearing Zhang Li agree, Chen Le nodded. "Good."
Afterward, he hung up the phone.
On the other side, Chen Le sent a message to Yang Mi, telling her that he had already spoken to Zhang Li about helping her with the visa.
Yang Mi sent Chen Le an OK emoji.
Afterward, she sent a message to Zhang Li.
A week passed quickly.
The filming of detective chinatown 1 had also entered the right track. Liu Haoran had changed a lot; in just two weeks, he had adapted to the life of the Film Crew. The childishness on his face had also faded a lot, and he had become more mature.
Under Wang Baoqiang's guidance, his progress was also very fast, so fast that even Wang Baoqiang was a little surprised.
Not only Wang Baoqiang, but Tong Liya, Chen Chichi, and Xiao Yang also felt very shocked.
For a child who wasn't even an adult yet to be able to reach this level was already considered very impressive.
Especially when they saw how hard Liu Haoran was working, Tong Liya and Xiao Yang felt that they were being a bit too relaxed.
Especially Xiao Yang; he was originally a singer, and it was also his first time filming this kind of major movie.
Although his performance was not bad, compared to Liu Haoran, he felt that he was still too lazy.
