Just a few days after returning to the Chinese opera class, Zhou Bai received a movie invitation, not because Zhou Bai was already famous in the entertainment industry, but this time he was still an acquaintance, Huo Jianqi.

It's also quite painful to say, Zhou Bai received a movie invitation, except for "My Father and Mother", which was taken by Lao Mouzi by mistake, the other film appointments were all introduced by acquaintances, "National Anthem" was Kang Jian looking for him, because of the investment in "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", and now this "Blue Love" is looking for him to act, and it is also because of the investment in "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" that I met the director.

"Director Huo, why did you think of looking for me? This movie under China Film, the actor should be easy to find, right?" Zhou Bai asked suspiciously after reading the script.

"This movie is adapted from a novel, I have been idle at home since I finished filming "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog", and I happened to see the novel, so I wanted to adapt the novel, so I proposed the project to Beijing Film Studio, but I didn't expect it to pass smoothly. The first thing I thought of was you, the actor was very suitable, I wanted to find you for a long time, I inquired with Lao Kang and found out that you were still filming, didn't you wait until you finished filming?"

After Huo Jianqi finished filming "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", he has been idle, and now "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" sees that there are no theaters interested, and he is idle, so Huo Jianqi has the idea of making a new movie.

This "Blue Love" is actually Huo Jianqi saw a novel called "Performance Art" one day, and the thinking about young people's thoughts on art and life, feelings and responsibilities in the novel resonated with Huo Jianqi, so he wanted to make it into a movie very much, and deliberately found the author of the novel, Fangfang.

I learned from Fangfang that screenwriter Si Wu had already started the adaptation of the movie script, but after several drafts, it was only completed this year.

After he submitted the film project to Beijing Film Studio, it passed very smoothly.

Originally, Beijing Film Studio had a film project called "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days" and wanted to shoot him, but unfortunately, because of the use of many old drama bones, it would take a lot of effort to invite these people, and it would not be possible to solve it for a while, so he simply discussed with the leaders of Beijing Film Studio, first finished filming "Blue Love" and then filmed "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days", and the leaders also thought it was a good way, so they approved the project.

"Zhou Bai, I know that you just finished filming "National Anthem", and now you are very tired, and your state still needs to be adjusted, I will be honest with you, I went to Xiangnan, I have seen some of the film materials you shot in the early stage, I think you are particularly suitable for this role, if you need time to adjust, this is no problem. Huo Jianqi said very sincerely, full of sincerity.

When he saw the novel, the first thing he remembered was Zhou Bai's appearance, and he felt that it was really suitable if he came to play it, and then went to Xiangnan, and it happened that part of the movie material was printed, and he was shocked by Zhou Bai's performance after watching it, and he was even more determined to find Zhou Bai to cooperate.

It is difficult to find good actors at any time, especially for directors, every time a film project is launched, how to find the right actor has to be a headache for a long time, so many movies are really nerve-wracking under the selection of the protagonist, and there are even some movies that change roles during filming, which is the reason.

"The script is very good, Director Huo values me so much, I'm really grateful, but I just returned to school and have to take leave to make a movie, isn't it inappropriate?" Zhou Bai said embarrassedly, finally making up for the previous course, and now I have to ask for leave again, Chang Ma is afraid that she will scold people.

"National Anthem" was filmed during the winter vacation, so it basically didn't take up much class time, less than a month of classes, Zhou Bai began to make up classes after returning to school, and the exams and everything have been made up.

But if you shoot "Blue Love", it will basically take up school time, Zhou Bai didn't ask about the specific shooting time, but if you think about it, you know that this time it should be started at the end of March, and it will be almost finished in May.

"Our crew will discuss this issue with your school, for actors, of course, going to school is very important, and it will have a good edification of your artistic accomplishment, but acting skills are accumulated through a large number of works, only real shooting can make your acting skills be honed, I think you should also understand, right?" Huo Jianqi said, of course he knew that Zhou Bai was still a student of Chinese opera, but he was currently in the second semester of his junior year, and with his current acting skills, it was really hard to say what he could learn in school.

Zhou Bai was silent, Huo Jianqi said the truth, which actor in the entertainment industry does not constantly polish his acting skills through his works, not everyone has the opportunity to play the leading role in the movie, if he can't hone his acting skills through different types of works, it is very likely that there will be a situation of fixed thinking and professional regression.

Until he quit the entertainment industry, he only starred in about 20 films, and even less as a starring actor, but it doesn't mean that people just acted in these movies, he didn't know how many stage plays he performed, and there was only one such god all over the world.

The most obvious person who relies on his works to improve his acting skills is Andy, he relied on a large number of performances, after different types of movies and TV series, and training for different directors, he became an actor-level actor.

Don't look at Andy's performance in the feature film "Running to the Angry Sea", and he was nominated for Best New Actor at the Academy Awards, but even after a year or two of training, his acting skills can only be said to be average, until 88's "Mong Kok Carmen" is the first time he has truly completed his transformation, and seven or eight years of training have really honed his acting skills.

"When is the start time? I want to have long hair, right?" Zhou Bai asked, speaking helplessly, filming "My Father and Mother" had to have long hair, and then it was shaved into a three-seven-point pot cover, and when filming "National Anthem", it was cut into a round head, and now it is going to be long.

"We expect it to start at the end of March, your hair is relatively short, keep it for now, and if it doesn't work, take a hood. Huo Jianqi was overjoyed in his heart, and Zhou Bai asked about the start-up time, which meant that there was a play.

"Okay, I'm going to audition for this film, do you want to audition? Do you want to take makeup photos?" Zhou Bai asked, the project of Beijing Film Studio is different from independent films, and it is not the director who has the final say.

The current Beijing Film Studio belongs to China Film, in February this year, China Film was officially established, Han Sanye has been on the throne, and is currently a high-powered boss in China Film, this behemoth is like an aircraft carrier in China, and even the Huayi brothers can only be regarded as a small fishing boat in front of it.

"When the makeup photos go to Bincheng, it's the same whether you shoot or not, as for the audition, you don't need it, I asked Lao Kang to intercept some of your movie shots for me as material, and the work is the best audition. Let me tell you about the salary first, you and the heroine are both at the same price, 100,000. Huo Jianqi said and patted Zhou Bai on the shoulder.

"Okay, I'll take the script back, I'll prepare for the time before filming starts, the last scene is very tired, and the state has to be adjusted. By the way, Director Huo, have you chosen the heroine?" Zhou Bai asked.

"At present, there is such a desirable actor, who has already sent an invitation to audition, and he is still your acquaintance. Huo Jianqi said, and then reported a name, which made Zhou Bai laugh dumbly, he didn't know that he was going around and around, but he was really an "acquaintance".
