PS: The plot has been slightly adjusted.

－－－－－－－－－The following text－－－－－－－－－

After catching a flight all night and arriving in Beijing, Ye Ming got off the plane and found that there were many missed calls on his mobile phone, all from Chen Xi. Why?

Even if Ye Ming didn't get through, it was very clear. People from Chen Fusheng Jewelry Company must have told the Chen family the news, and Chen Xi naturally got the news.

Sure enough, Ye Ming called. Chen Xi first asked Ye Ming where he was now. When Ye Ming said that he wanted to shoot a movie like Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother", Chen Xi was immediately confused. envious.

Later, I suddenly remembered and said, "Do you want to use jade when making movies? I heard from my family, how about I send it to you, whatever you want."

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry, the problem has been solved, and the filming of the movie has been completed. I will give you a call when it will be released. Don't worry. I guarantee that I will give you an unexpected surprise."

Ye Ming didn't go back to Huihuang Film and Television at all, and went directly to Xinhuamian Company. At this time, Zhang Weiping was about to get in the car when he saw Ye Ming coming over and said hello: "Ye Ming, I was about to call you. It just so happened that you came over. I heard that you made a movie of your own, how busy are you doing?"

Ye Ming naturally understood that Zhang Weiping meant to make fun of him, so he didn't care at the moment. He said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is joking. I have support funds. If I don't film, I will be sorry for the country. By the way, Mr. Zhang, my The movie Father and Mother seems to have more winter scenes, so why is it starting now?"

Zhang Weiping greeted Ye Ming to get on the bus and said: "Actually, there is nothing [no one can be left behind]. The response is quite good. It just so happens that I have time now. Director Zhang means to set up the team first. He is, Filmmaking is very meticulous, so be prepared. The filming will be smoother by then. No, the actors are being decided. Except for you and Zhang Ziyi, the rest of the people have not been decided yet. Director Zhang is currently auditioning. , let’s rush over and have a look together.”

Relationships are not officially started. After getting in the car, Ye Ming finally felt relieved. The audition was held at the Drama Academy, which surprised Ye Ming. Why not at the New Flower Company, but he didn't ask that.

Zhang Yimou came to recruit actors. This in itself was a big sensation in the drama school. Some students who were well-informed knew that the heroine had been chosen a few days ago. It was Zhang Ziyi, a freshman in the college. It was said that the male lead was also selected. As for the candidate, not many people know who it is at this time.

And this time director Zhang Yimou is choosing a supporting actor to play [my] supporting actor.

Even for the supporting actor in director Zhang Yimou, this is a goal that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Anyone who likes acting is one of them. Who doesn't want to appear in Zhang Yimou's movie, even if it is only one scene?

Therefore, at this time, there were quite a lot of people coming to audition.

Zhang Weiping took Ye Ming, and naturally there were staff to clear the crowd and walked in. At this time, several students were talking about who the person who came just now was. He looked familiar.

Because there are so many celebrities in drama schools, and many of those big names are their teachers, even senior students, so these students are somewhat used to seeing big names.

However, one student finally remembered it, patted another student on the shoulder and said: "Old Sun, did you see the person who just passed by? Ye Ming, the singer of [Legend], just ten years old Within a few days, he became the king in one battle and became the most popular singer in the three places across the Taiwan Strait."

Lao Sun looked at Ye Ming who disappeared into the crowd and said, "I really didn't see it clearly. What is Ye Ming doing here?"

The student snorted and said, "You deserve it. You can't find a suitable movie after graduation. The relationship between the two is very profound. You are here to audition. Ye Ming can sing well, but that doesn't mean he can also act." Okay, if you can get in touch with Director Zhang, that will be a golden sign."

Lao Sun looked into the distance noncommittally and narrowed his eyelids. Who wouldn't want to be in a movie by Zhang Yimou?

When Ye Ming and Zhang Weiping came in, the place was taking a break. There were three people sitting in the middle, one was Zhang Yimou, and the other two were older ones and looked like teachers from the drama school.

And there was a little beauty sitting next to her. She was delicate and refined, with an oval face that was very photogenic. Her black hair was spread out, and there was indeed a hint of Gong Li between her eyebrows. Zhang Ziyi, this girl is Zhang Ziyi.

After Zhang Yimou saw Ye Ming and Zhang Weiping, he immediately laughed and said: "Weiping, how did you do it? You are still with Ye Ming. How can you two meet each other?"

Afterwards, everyone exchanged pleasantries, and Zhang Weiping naturally said that no introduction was needed. Zhang Yimou introduced Ye Ming: "Ye Ming, this is Teacher Song from the School of Drama, and this is Teacher Li. They are two of the biggest names in the circle. , if you have any questions about performance in the future, you can ask these two teachers for advice."

Then, Zhang Yimou introduced Ye Ming. Although the two teachers teach and educate people, no matter what, they are also people in the industry. They are also impressed by Ye Ming's recent hot star. Therefore, Seems very polite.

Then, Zhang Yimou introduced Zhang Ziyi. At this time, Zhang Ziyi could almost be regarded as a complete newcomer, even newer than Ye Ming. She had filmed a shampoo commercial with Zhang Yimou and did not have much acting experience. .

Therefore, compared to the domineering Zhang Ziyi later, the current Zhang Ziyi still seems more reserved.

After the introduction, Zhang Yimou said: "You two, please get in touch with each other more. You will be acting together in the future. Once you are familiar with each other, it will be easy to get into the mood."

Ye Ming took this opportunity to scan Zhang Ziyi's data [Name, Zhang Ziyi. Age nineteen, acting skills: 360, singing skills: 200, popularity: 230, force value: 180, understanding: four stars. 】

Sure enough, Zhang Ziyi's understanding is also very extraordinary, and none of the four great beauties can save money. Even if Zhang Ziyi's acting skills and popularity are not very high, under the guidance of the famous director Zhang Yimou, it can be said that she has made rapid progress.

After sitting down, Zhang Yimou seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "Ye Ming, I heard that you have shot a new movie. I don't know how busy you are. It will still be some time before the official start here, but I am just working on it." It’s just a press conference.”

Ye Ming naturally knew that his eyebrows were high and low, so he immediately replied: "This, haha, I'm done. A small-budget movie can't be compared with someone else's 100 million. A few friends can join a team and work together for a month." The filming is almost finished, and the rest is post-production. Director Zhang, actually I have a question after I came here, why did you bring two of us actors with you in the casting?"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "You don't understand this? When I choose actors, I first choose the protagonist. The rest is to choose the supporting role according to the protagonist. Why are supporting roles called supporting roles? They are to serve the protagonist. of.

Therefore, the supporting character's demeanor and temperament must match that of the protagonist. Otherwise, in such a situation, it would be a bit unsightly.

The pictures will not be very harmonious, because I shoot many of them with close-ups. Therefore, at this time, the supporting characters must match the protagonist's demeanor, otherwise I will not use them. "

Every director has his own habits when making movies, which is why some directors shoot garbage, while some directors shoot classics.

Zhang Yimou likes to use close-ups when making movies. This habit can be seen from his first directorial movie "Red Sorghum".

After Zhang Yimou checked seven or eight actors, he found that there were not many good ones. Even Zhang Weiping, who was almost watching the excitement, couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhang Yimou's requirements are not generally high, but he also knows what his partner is like. He knows that his partner is very demanding. At least in the selection of actors, others cannot influence it. Understand.

However, watching Zhang Yimou choose actors was indeed a very sad thing. Therefore, after watching a few, Zhang Weiping left quickly on the pretext that his company had something to do.

Teacher Song is older and slightly bald. Several of the students who were auditioned by Zhang Yimou were his students. However, although he did not know what Zhang Yimou's specific decision was, he could tell from Zhang Yimou's subtle expressions. I felt that something might be wrong, but no one took notice of Zhang Yimou.

At this time, Teacher Song took a sip of water and said, "Director Zhang, how about we take a break first and let the students in front of us take a break? After all, it is your audition. They are anxious and sometimes their performance is not normal. This It’s also a reasonable thing.”

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said: "Forget it, forget it. There is no need to wait for this matter. As an actor, if you can't overcome this psychological barrier, then why are you acting?" Zhang Yimou's words were relatively straightforward. Teacher Song There was a moment of silence.

At this time, Teacher Li took over the words with a smile: "Originally, we thought Director Zhang liked newcomers, so these people are more freshmen. After all, Xiao Zhang is also a freshman. She is lucky to be favored by Director Zhang. If Zhang The director wants to find someone with more proficient acting skills, so I’ll ask a few graduates to come over and audition, what do you think, Director Zhang?”

Zhang Yimou actually wanted to look at the problem from a different perspective. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed. Maybe he needed a supporting actor with more mature acting skills and a sense of vicissitudes of life. (To be continued)
