"National Anthem" is a big project for Xiaoxiang Factory, and after Zhou Bai really understands it, he understands that if it weren't for chance, the role of Tian Han would have been 100% unavailable.

How big is this project, let's put it this way, this is a tribute film for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the nominal producers are all provincial leaders in southern Xiangnan, just because of Zhou Bai's age gap, he will not be considered, not to mention that Zhou Bai has not entered the sight of the main theme film circle at present.

Next year is the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, whether it is film, music, drama and other cultural circles, are preparing to pay tribute works, the actor the director likes is to take another gift film to have no way, and then find a lot of actors, director Wu Ziniu and producer Kang Jianli are not satisfied, so the matter dragged on.

But there is no way to continue to drag on many things, the staff, actors' schedules, and filming venues have already been coordinated, and it is too troublesome to postpone the shooting.

In the end, Kang Jian thought of Zhou Bai and felt that he had a sense of maturity that did not match his age, so he simply brought the script to see Zhou Bai, even if Tian Han couldn't find a suitable person to perform, the role of Nie Er could be decided first.

In order to know whether Zhou Bai is suitable, Kang Jianqi specially asked Huo Jianqi to chat with Lao Mouzi for a while, and then took the script to meet Zhou Bai, and then proposed two roles for Zhou Bai to choose.

In the bottom of my heart, Kang Jian still hopes that Zhou Bai can choose the role of Nie Er, although there are not as many roles as the male lead, but in real terms, it is almost the role of the male protagonist, it is not difficult to act, and the age is suitable in all aspects, and it is easy to shine.

After receiving Zhou Bai's reply, Kang Jian was silent for a while, he was shocked by Zhou Bai's enterprising spirit in performance, not everyone has the courage to challenge this role, but it is difficult for him to say that he is very optimistic about Zhou Bai in his heart.

This is a tribute film, using a young actor to play the male protagonist in his thirties, it is very risky, if Zhou Bai can't pass Wu Ziniu's level, Kang Jianli can only express regret.

On December 3rd, Kang Jianlian took Zhou Bai to meet director Wu Ziniu, and before he auditioned, Wu Ziniu pulled Kang Jianyan to another room to talk.

Zhou Bai was helpless, there was nothing wrong with Wu Ziniu doing this, as a director, he was responsible for his work, the first impression of the actor was too important, and unfortunately Zhou Bai's first impression did not make Wu Ziniu feel suitable.

"Lao Kang, are you crazy, how old is the actor you brought outside? Looking at the twenties, it is impossible to play so many roles when you are older. Wu Ziniu said a little angrily, at this time he was wearing a peaked hat and a thick coat, and he was very dissatisfied with Kang Jian's behavior of stuffing people.

That's right, in Wu Ziniu's view, this is Kang Jian's trick, the actor Tian Han is not his goal, Kang Jianli is just advancing and retreating.

Wu Ziniu's qualifications are extraordinary, and he naturally has the qualifications to speak loudly, at this time he is a first-line director in China, he won the Berlin Silver Bear in 88, won the Golden Rooster Best Director, and won the Best Recommendation Award of the Jury at the Berlin Film Festival in 94 and the Golden Panda Award at the Montpérie Film Festival in France.

"Lao Wu, don't worry, you are the director, the question of whether the actor is suitable or not is your right, I will not interfere in this matter. Kang Jian then spoke, not slowly.

"At present, you also know the situation of this project in our factory, I really can't find a suitable actor, I don't interfere with your choice, it's just that this actor doesn't look at the age, but the performance is not to say, so I came to him to audition, you just need to try out carefully, if you really think it's not suitable, I won't force him to join the crew, can't you trust me Lao Kang after so many years of cooperation?"

Kang Jian is methodical, quite a little breezy feeling, he has cooperated with Wu Ziniu for many days, Wu Ziniu's temper he knows, so he will not stand up to Wu Ziniu, but patiently explain.

"I haven't found a suitable actor yet, but what is it for you to find a young actor, Tian Han's calm and mature is not something that can be acted if you want to, you also know that this is a tribute film, and we will eat and hang up if we mess it up. Wu Ziniu waved his hand irritably, and even the local voice came out.

"Lao Wu, you are studying directing, let's talk about acting now, if the actor has no problem performing in terms of demeanor, temperament, lines, and shape, can the age gap in appearance be covered?"

"Uh, of course, just use makeup, do you mean that he can fully show the feeling of the role, the only difference is in appearance and age?" Wu Ziniu asked with some hesitation, Kang Jian was not excited at all, and looked confident.

"I've brought people here, don't you know if you look at it?" Kang Jianqian didn't pack a ticket.

Zhou Bai waited in the hotel room for a while, only to see Kang Jianlu and Wu Ziniu coming out of another room, Zhou Bai calmly put down the book, got up from the chair, and nodded to the two people.

"You are a student of Chinese opera, right, why do you want to play the role of Tian Han, you should know that your age is not suitable, right?" Wu Ziniu looked at Zhou Bai with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You can only decide if it's suitable when the performance comes, and I think the reason for playing this role is that it's difficult. Zhou Bai said seriously, not the slightest discomfort with Wu Ziniu's gaze.

"Since you were brought by Lao Kang, although I don't think you are suitable for this role, but I can't help but give Lao Kang face, let's try the play, first talk about your understanding of the role. Wu Ziniu was noncommittal, and said with a sneer, he hoped that by creating pressure, Zhou Bai would be able to retreat.

"I read the script several times, and I also made a superficial analysis of the role of Tian Han, if there is anything wrong, please guide the director. Zhou Bai said.

Originally, if you auditioned, it should be about a big room, at least there must be a stage, and not only the director and producer are present, but also the camera will be set up, and the person in charge of casting will be there, and then give you some lines or something, let you perform, Zhou Bai directly skipped this paragraph.

If you audition, the director will also tell the actor about the play first, and then tell him what kind of performance the director wants, and Zhou Bai also skipped this paragraph.

It has a relationship with the cow, after all, Kang Jian is the director of Xiaoxiang Factory, and it is normal not to do that kind of superficial work.

"First of all, this character from the fall of the Northeast to the final production of "March of the Volunteers", there are many levels of changes along the way, when he saw Qi Baishan and Mei Xiang, he did not deeply understand the cruelty of the Japanese Kou, and he also blessed the authorities, plus his status is not low, so he looks like this, and walks like this!" Zhou Bai's eyes changed, his limbs also changed, and a gentle and wise cultural person appeared, with a kind of righteousness.

"You are students in the Northeast? It just so happens that our drama club is arranging a drama about the Anti-Japanese War in the Northeast, and we sincerely invite you to take a look and help us see if there is anything inappropriate. Zhou Bai leaned closer in his hands, as if he was grabbing someone's shoulder, and said happily and slightly excitedly.

This is a line in the script, which happens to be a scene in the early stage of the movie, when the actor invited Qi Baishan, a college student from Northeast China, to go to the drama club with Mei Xiang.

During the rehearsal of the drama, when he heard Qi Baishan's words and knew that the real situation was very different from his own drama, his mentality changed, so he should be contemplative, it should be like this. ”

"You're right, you've lived through real events, and the way the characters speak in the play shouldn't be that way, we should revise it. Zhou Bai's temperament has not changed, but his demeanor has changed, and the image of a writer with a slight sadness and shame has stood up.

"The drama was staged because of the assassination of a traitor, and I think he should be like this. Zhou Bai said, and then his expression began to change, his body trembled slightly, a little panicked and a little frightened, and his expression of self-calmness made people clearly feel that a big event had just happened.

"After he was kidnapped and beaten, this should be the state. ”

"This is how he should be after the war!"

"After going through the battlefield, he should be like this!"

“……”

In the hotel, the small room seems to be turned into a set for your own show.
