Chapter Eighty-Six: Liars
The Department of Acting teaches observational life exercises in the second semester, after the animal simulation.
However, Liu Yifei's situation is relatively special, her life is pale, her experience is too shallow, and she follows the teaching process of the acting department, and many things are not easy to teach. Therefore, after two weeks of elemental training and non-physical training, Zhang Ran decided to take Liu Yifei out to do observation life exercises.
Liu Xiaoli also knows that observing life practice is very important to her daughter, and after these days of observation, she is more at ease with Zhang Ran, and with Li Xinyue accompanying her, there will definitely be no problems. She didn't put up any obstacles: "I'll let the driver drive you there, you have to pay attention to safety!"
Zhang Ran nodded and said: "Just send us into the city, and then we take the bus, there are a lot of people on the bus, all kinds of people, it is a good place to observe." ”
After Zhang Ran and the others entered the city, they found a bus stop with more people and got off.
"Yifei, there are a lot of people here, let's observe here for a while!"
Zhang Ran felt that it was nothing to call Yifei classmates at Liu's house, and now he came out and called it like this, which was a bit too formal, and he felt that Liu Yifei was too quiet, and the little girl should be lively, so he teased her: "Yifei, the performance is about the sect, you are the third generation disciple of the Mary Hill faction, and you are also the thirty-first disciple of the teacher, you will call me Master outside in the future!"
Liu Yifei didn't know what the Mary-Hill faction was, but it sounded very powerful, and she shouted, "Master!"
Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction: "Walking in the rivers and lakes generally has a nickname, and I will call you Baozi outside in the future!"
Liu Yifei was stunned, how could anyone call it a bun? Then he protested: "I don't agree, the bun is so ugly!"
Zhang Ran persuaded with a smile: "The name Baozi is so cute, it fits you very well, and it looks very similar, they are all round and white, it's so suitable!"
"It's not like it at all, I'm not like a bun!" Master, don't call me a bun!" Liu Yifei ran to Zhang Ran's body as if she was coquettish, and said in a greasy voice, her hands didn't forget to grab his arm and shook it inexhaustibly, with a look that if you don't agree, I won't follow.
The girl's cute movements and expressions, coupled with the sweet and greasy voice, are extremely lethal to the opposite sex, and the two young people standing not far away almost fell out of their eyes.
It's just that this kind of cute method is completely useless to Zhang Ran: "I am the master, I have the final say, and I will call you buns outside in the future!"
"But, the buns are really ugly!" Liu Yifei saw that the protest was ineffective, and quickly grabbed Li Xinyue's arm and begged, "Sister Xinyue, tell the teacher, don't call me a bun!"
Li Xinyue smiled: "I don't dare, if you don't want to, then give him a nickname!"
Liu Yifei tilted his head and thought about it, and shouted, "Great Demon King!"
Zhang Ran burst into tears, I didn't expect a child like Baozi to call me that, am I really terrible? I'm obviously very kind!
Li Xinyue laughed out loud when she heard this nickname: "Baozi, you are so cute!"
Liu Yifei's mouth pursed, and she pulled Li Xinyue's arm and said aggrievedly: "Sister Xinyue, why do you call me a bun?"
Li Xinyue felt that Liu Yifei's bulging face was very cute, gently pinched her bun face, and said with a smile: "Because your face is round, it looks like a cute little bun!"
Liu Yifei protested: "Sister Xinyue's face is also round, then you are also a bun!"
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Yes, you two are buns, one vegetable bun, one meat bun!"
Liu Yifei is meaty, obviously a meat bun, where am I like a vegetable bun? Li Xinyue glanced at Zhang Ran: "You are still a teacher, you always like to talk nonsense!"
Zhang Ran waved his hand and said: "Don't make trouble, we are here to learn, not to play, be serious! Baozi, the method of observation has been taught to you, you start to observe immediately, and take notes on the observation of characters!"
"Master is the big demon king, bullying people, I'm not a bun!" Liu Yifei muttered, his face bulging, and he began to observe angrily.
Before coming out, Zhang Ran explained in detail how to observe the characters, and it is necessary to observe the character's dress, observe the character's prop decoration, observe the character's demeanor and mood, etc.;
Li Xinyue and Liu Yifei are both beautiful women, which attract attention, and the pedestrians on the platform, regardless of men, women and children, all glance at them. The two of them usually receive a lot of attention gifts, and they have long been accustomed to it, but they don't care at all.
Zhang Ran ignored them, and saw a cute five or six-year-old girl next to her, so she ran to tease the child.
Just when Zhang Ran was amused by the child to laugh, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a round figure, a big belly, and like a frog, walked over.
He bowed to Li Xinyue and Liu Yifei very gentlemanly, and handed each of them a business card: "The two young ladies, the contemptible Yang Zheng, are the assistant directors of the "Hero" crew, saying that you may not know "Hero", Zhang Yimou, you should know, right? "Hero" is a new film that Zhang Yimou is preparing, preparing to hit the Oscars, and the crew is recruiting actors recently, I don't know if you are interested in becoming actors?"
Liu Yifei tilted her head, looked at the middle-aged man, and asked curiously, "Who is Zhang Yimou?" She came back from the United States just now, and she was not familiar with domestic directors, and she had never seen Zhang Yimou's movies.
Yang Zheng didn't expect to meet a strange girl who didn't know Zhang Yimou, so he set his eyes on Li Xinyue and said sincerely: "Miss, you should know Zhang Yimou, right?"
Li Xinyue was just about to answer, but Zhang Ran came over and hurriedly replied: "I know, I know, "Hero", the actor is Jet Li, the heroine is Maggie Cheung, I heard that it is a super blockbuster!"
Li Xinyue was stunned, and then snickered in her heart, estimating that Zhang Ran was going to play tricks on people again.
Yang Zheng was overjoyed when he heard it, God really helped me, so he began to talk endlessly: "Now many domestic film and television companies are fighting for the role of "Hero", but Director Zhang likes to use newcomers, like Dong Jie and Zhang Ziyi were discovered by Director Zhang from newcomers, I think the two of them are very suitable, and their temperament is good, and they are very likely to be shortlisted......
After Yang Zheng boasted about Zhang Yimou's personal achievements in his life, he highly praised the beauty of Li Xinyue and Liu Yifei, and then asked if they were interested?
Zhang Ran nodded again and again: "I think the two of them are suitable to be actors, especially my sister!" said, reached out and touched Liu Yifei's head, "Look, how beautiful, how cute, looks like a bun, much more beautiful than Zhang Ziyi, she is definitely a natural star!"
The people around him couldn't stop snickering, they looked like a bun, how could they be so boastful? Only Liu Yifei said angrily: "I'm not like a bun, Master bullies people!"
Yang Zheng was overjoyed: "Yes, this girl is so beautiful, if she joins our "Hero" crew, she will definitely become an instant hit, and it is not impossible to become Zhang Ziyi's second!"
Zhang Ran's face was full of joy, with a reasonable expression, but he immediately calmed down, looked at Yang Zheng, and said vigilantly: "You said that it was Zhang Yimou's "Hero" crew, do you have any evidence? Is there a contract or something, I heard that there are many liars who pretend to be talent scouts now, specializing in deceiving little girls!"
Yang Zheng hurriedly took out a cooperation agreement and handed it to Zhang Ran: "Look at it, this is the contract of our crew!"
Zhang Ran flipped through the contract, it was the actor's signing contract, but the contract had a production fee, and the cost was 4,000 yuan, 6,000 yuan, and 8,000 yuan, so he said: "Why do you still charge money? I heard people say that those who collect money are liars!"
Yang Zheng explained: "Sir, you are mistaken, we do not charge any fees. This production fee is the cost of the photo, the actors have to take pictures when they enter the group, and if you want to take a slightly better set of artistic photos, you have to take thousands, we are not ordinary people who take pictures, the photographer is Du Kefeng, Asia's No. 1 photographer, stylist Li Dongtian, who modeled Gong Li and Guan Zhilin. If it weren't for Zhang Yimou's crew, thousands of dollars, if you want to invite them, it would be impossible!"
Zhang Ran seemed a little hesitant: "We have taken artistic photos, there are many of them, can we provide the photos ourselves?"
Yang Zheng shook his head and said: "That's not good, your so-called artistic photos don't meet the requirements at all, where can the photos taken by ordinary photographers get into Zhang Yimou's eyes." If you think about it, Zhang Ziyi is just an ordinary student, she made Zhang Yimou's movie, and she will become a big star immediately, Zhang Jizhong spent 2 million to ask Zhang Ziyi to play "Smiling Proud Jianghu", no one acts, I can't look at it! If you want to get it, you have to invest a little, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you will regret it for a lifetime!"
Zhang Ran groaned for a while, and was about to say that this made sense, but when he saw Liu Yifei looking at him curiously, he said, "Why are you looking at me, I asked you to observe him, and you finished observing?"
Liu Yifei looked puzzled: "You didn't say it?"
Zhang Ran almost didn't fall, and acted with me for half a day: "I just gave you a look and asked you to observe this liar who is pretending to be a talent scout, didn't you see it?"
Liu Yifei covered his mouth and looked very shocked: "Ah, you said he was a liar!"
Zhang Ran said speechlessly: "It's not a liar, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" will be launched in June, now choose a ghost actor! It's not easy to meet a liar who pretends to be a talent scout, I pulled him to talk for a long time, just so that you can observe, you are good, don't do anything, make me work in vain!"
Liu Yifei lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "I don't know!"
On the platform, all the people who paid attention to this side couldn't help but pout: "It's really a liar!"
Yang Zheng's face was red and white, watching Zhang Ran and Liu Yifei talking "one song and one harmony", knowing that he had been tricked, he stomped his feet and slipped away as if fleeing for his life.
