In the office, Zhou Bai took the script of "My Father and Mother" written on the title page, and was a little stunned for a while, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable.

It is difficult to describe Zhou Bai's mood at this moment, it can be said that there are mixed tastes.

After two years of learning art, the first script to receive was actually a movie by the great director Zhang Yimou, which is a great affirmation, at least after two years of learning art, Zhou Bai has entered the eyes of the great director.

There are joys, but there are also losses, because this movie is called "My Father and Mother", Zhou Bai has the impression that this movie actually does not have too many shots of the male actor, almost all the important shots of the movie are the heroine, and there are very few places where he can play.

"Zhou Bai, haven't you received any invitations recently?" Chang Li said with a smile, looking at the expression on Zhou Bai's face, it didn't seem like she was only happy to be invited by a big director to make a movie.

"Uh, yes. Zhou Bai shook his head and quickly shook off those messy thoughts.

"Actually, at the end of the semester, the school has also received some invitations from the crew, but they have all been blocked by me, many of them are three-no crews, and even supporting roles in TV dramas, Teacher Chang thinks that these messy invitations are not good for you, can you understand?" Chang Li said very sincerely, among all the students, he was most satisfied with Zhou Bai.

In Chang Li's eyes, Zhou Bai's talent is good, he is hard-working, he can resist the temptation outside, and his academic performance has also thrown other students away.

"I understand, Mr. Chang, you are for my good, I understand. Zhou Bai smiled and said, he himself took some invitations, but as soon as he inquired, he pushed them all, either those old TV series with no new ideas or some supporting roles of the three-no crew, I have never heard of it.

"You're a good boy, and it's gratifying to think that way. Now you are still young, twenty years old is not the time to rush to become famous, as long as you go down-to-earth, your future achievements will not be small, and the teacher has enough confidence in you. No, Zhang Yimou thinks you are a talented person, so he sent the script over. Chang Li said with a smile.

The old lady smiled kindly, which made people very warm, of course, when teaching people, it felt like encountering a cold winter, and the contrast was great.

"Thank you, Mr. Chang. I don't understand, how could Director Zhang know about me?" Zhou Bai was very grateful to Chang Ma in his heart, and calling her Chang Ma was not a simple title, because the old lady really treated everyone the same as her mother.

"When you were performing "Soul Rejection" in the small theater, Director Zhang happened to come to our school, and after watching your performance, he felt very good, so he asked someone to ask me about your situation, and then sent the script over. Chang Li said, this matter is also a coincidence, it happened that Zhang Yimou was looking for the actor during that time, and when he found the Chinese opera, he watched a drama by the way and found Zhou Bai.

"The script teacher has read it, it's a good story, but you don't have too many scenes, you read the script first, and then let's talk about it. Chang Li said that she had communicated with people before, and she had read the script a few times just now, and she had a general judgment on this scene.

"Okay. Zhou Bai nodded, and then flipped through the script.

"My Father and Mother" is based on the novel "Remembrance", but the first story of this novel is provided by Zhang Yimou.

In 1997, when Zhang Yimou participated in a film event in Italy, he was shocked to learn the news of the death of his old father, who had lived in the countryside as a teacher for a long time, which reminded him of the simple and simple figure of his father's life and his simple and simple past.

After dealing with the old man's funeral, he still couldn't calm down for a long time, so he told a friend how he felt at that time, and his friend used it to make up a simple love story.

After the story became a novel, many places have changed, and the story that Zhang Yimou originally told is no longer completely consistent. Therefore, in fact, the characters in this film are not completely written about his parents, but they reflect the plain but strong love and family affection of their father's and mother's generation.

Zhou Bai read the script carefully, and could see that the script was not completely written, but the basic framework and setting had been written, just like Chang Li said, he didn't have many scenes.

There are three main male characters in the script of "My Father and Mother", one is "me", one is the elderly village chief, and the other is the "young father", and Zhou Bai can only play the role of "me" or "young father".

The role of the elderly village chief is no longer suitable in terms of age.

There are other roles that are not absent, such as the young village chief, but it is the soy sauce in the soy sauce, and if the script is sent so formally, it must not be this role.

The role of "I", that is, his son Luo Yusheng, is set at about 30 years old, and has been working for several years, Zhou Bai's age is no problem to play, but if Zhou Bai is not mistaken, this role should be played by Sun Honglei, who graduated from the musical theater class of the Chinese Opera Performance Department.

Zhou Bai thought of his age, just like the "young father" Luo Changyu in the movie, he was twenty years old, so nine times out of ten he would play this role.

In the original history, "My Father and Mother" is more appropriate to call "My Mother" directly than this name, 80% of the shots revolve around the heroine, and the role of the young father does not fall into a few shots at all.

The original protagonist Zheng Hao's performance is not good, and his image is not prominent, he is said to be an intellectual, but he really does not have much intellectual temperament, coupled with Zhang Yimou's deliberate scheduling, it is almost as useful as a mascot.

In fact, the real male number one in "My Father and Mother" is not the "young father" Luo Changyu, the real male number one is the role played by Sun Honglei called Luo Yusheng, although the role is not particularly much, but it is much better than Luo Changyu, at least it is not a mascot.

Speaking of "My Father and Mother", the angle of the movie lens is almost all on the heroine Zhang Ziyi, Lao Mouzi can't wait to turn the movie into Zhang Ziyi's photo, although it is very well shot, but it is really blind to the name of the movie.

In the original history, Nima Zheng Hao played the role of a scene decoration, or the kind that was particularly blurred, and the camera couldn't wait to shoot 108,000 miles away, accounting for about the same proportion as peanuts.

"Teacher, do they want me to play the role of a young father?" After Zhou Bai read the script, he raised his head and asked, unable to tell what it was like in his heart.

"Yes, I heard that the director found a student on Xie Yi's side, but I was really not very satisfied, and I happened to see you and came to me. Chang Li told Zhou Bai what she knew.

"They didn't say let me audition?" Zhou Bai asked curiously, the national teacher has always been very strict in selecting people for movie roles, why did he send the script directly.

"I heard that the director finished watching your drama that day, and the focus was on observing you, and I thought you were particularly suitable, so I simply sent the script over, saving the audition. Chang Li said that there was a kind of pride in her eyes that could not be concealed, after all, the director's name was Zhang Yimou, one of the top directors in China.

Zhou Bai is very painful, "My Father and Mother" gives him not much room to play, and it can be seen in the script that the role is insufficient, and he is really not the kind of good role that he can't ask for.

But the director of this movie is what many actors dream of, this is Zhang Yimouye, the later national teacher, the first director of the five generations, even if his movie is a passerby, there are a bunch of people waiting in line.

Compared with Kaige Rinpoche, Zhang Yimou has always maintained a high standard, and after years of changes, he still firmly holds the top spot among domestic directors, and is definitely the number one director in China.

Chang's mother also said that the director was very optimistic about him, and even saved the audition, and sent the script directly, there are thousands of domestic actors, and he is the only one who has this treatment.

"Do you always know who they chose as the heroine?" Zhou Bai asked, in fact, he knew that "My Father and Mother" was Zhang Ziyi's famous work, Lao Mouzi had seen Zhang Ziyi in 97, and Zhang Ziyi also said this.

"I won't hide it from you, the heroine of the movie is Zhang Ziyi from our class. Chang Li said that Zhang Ziyi is still in school now, but this matter has basically been decided.

"It turned out to be a 'little steel cannon', this time she can be considered to be famous overnight, the heroine of this drama is too easy to shine. Zhou Bai smiled, in fact, he was also happy for Zhang Ziyi in his heart, and he was also afraid that history would change again.

"This kid can be regarded as having met a nobleman, but Lao Mouzi's movies are not easy to make, and his requirements for actors are particularly high, and Gong Li almost didn't get into his eyes back then. Chang Li said with a sigh, as a teacher of Chinese opera, she taught Gong Li, the acting goddess's road back then was not smooth at all.

"Well, big directors are like this, but 'Little Steel Cannon' has the kind of tenacity that others don't have, I believe she can. Zhou Bai said sincerely, Zhang Ziyi's heart is much higher than others, but it is not as simple as the swaggering Beijing girl on the surface.

"You have to think about the script first, even if the role is not big, you have to take it seriously. Chang Li said solemnly.

"Okay!" Zhou Bai nodded.
