Britney said: "Lauren Weisberg's The Devil Wears Prada, a very best-selling novel, has been bought by Fox and is ready to be made into a movie. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I also emailed Fox to play the lead actress Andy, but unfortunately I didn't get a response. I've had two golden sour plums, and now people in the film company don't want to use me!"

Zhang Ran was stunned, wasn't this book published in 05? Why did the film copyright be sold, and couldn't help asking: "The Devil Wears Prada has been published?"

Britney smiled: "It's been a long time since it was published, it's been almost a year, and it's been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than ten weeks, and it's very popular!"

Zhang Ran was a little unsure whether he remembered it wrongly or if history had changed! But he regretted very much in his heart, this was the best time to get in touch with Prada. But after thinking about it, if I really want to win the copyright of this movie, I will definitely offend Wintour, so if I miss it, I will miss it, and I can also catch Prada's line through Wintour.

There are still a few years left in the financial crisis in Prada, and there is no urgency!

Britney saw Zhang Ran stunned and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Ran came back to his senses and asked casually, "Have you watched "Twilight"?"

Britney said, "I didn't expect you to read "Twilight", I thought only girls would read such books?"

Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "When was this book released?"

Britney said without thinking, "Last month!"

Zhang Ran remembered that "Twilight" was published in 05, and it seems that there is no problem with the memory of "Twilight". He remembers that the book "Twilight" was very popular after it was released, selling tens of millions of copies. However, the film companies all thought that the vampire theme was outdated, and the plot of "Twilight" was old-fashioned, the feelings were pale, and the film would definitely fail at the box office, so there was no big company to take over, and it was not until 07 that Summit Pictures bought the rights.

"Twilight" has achieved amazing results after its release, with a total of five film adaptations, the first of which is nearly $400 million worldwide, the second is $700 million, the third is $700 million, the fourth is $700 million, and the fourth is $700 million.

The profit brought by the "Twilight" series of movies is more than one billion, which is simply a money grab!

Zhang Ran was already short of money, as a reborn, if he missed "Twilight", it would be like thunder!

Although the film rights of "Twilight" will not be bought in the short term, Zhang Ran feels that it is better to strike first, in case something happens halfway and is snatched away by another company, it will be like crying to death.

After dinner, Zhang Ran obtained the contact information of Stephanie Mayer, the author of "The Twilight Zone", through the publisher. Immediately after, Zhang Ran got in touch with Stephanie Mayer, and then got on the plane to meet Stephanie Mayer.

Stephanie Mayer would have been a stay-at-home housewife with three children and no writing experience. One day, she had a dream in which a young girl and a handsome and charming man sat on a sunny meadow and fell in love. After waking up from the dream, she was moved by the plot of the dream, so she took a pen and wrote the story in the dream.

It's been less than a month since "Twilight" hit the market, and although it sold well, Stephanie Mayer never thought that her book would be made into a movie. And Zhang Ran is the director of "Time and Space Warrior", and he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, so he easily got the copyright of the movie.

Of course, Zhang Ran did not inadequately treat Stephanie Mayer with $2 million and a 5% profit share.

Stephanie Mayer doesn't have much idea about a 5% profit dividend, but $2 million is a real deal, and she thinks this handsome Oriental guy is so generous that she is a little embarrassed. Without the slightest hesitation, Stephanie Meyer signed her name directly on the contract.

When Zhang Ran returned to Beiping, Nortel's second test had ended, but with Li Xinyue and their checks, Zhang Ran was still more relieved. He only needs to take the last pass and manage the three tests.

Those who can enter the third test are basically excellent students, at least students who are more optimistic about the teacher. The purpose of the test is to gain an in-depth understanding of the candidates' performance qualities, namely: the candidates' comprehension of prescribed situations, events, characters and character relationships, imagination, sensibility, communication adaptability, language, physical action performance, etc.

The content of the three examinations of Nortel this year is different from previous years, the school has made major adjustments to the content of the three examinations according to Zhang Ran's requirements, and the content of the examination is divided into, music, language, physical comprehensive examination, proposition sketch performance, and three parts of the oral examination, in addition to the special talent show, giving students who have a skill a chance to show.

There was only one examination room for the three exams, and a total of fifteen examiners, including Dean Chen Jianfeng, as well as Cui Xinqin and Xie Yuan, all of whom were present.

Soon, the first group of candidates entered the examination room and lined up.

Zhang Ran glanced at the ten candidates, two of them were candidates he paid more attention to, one was Chang Jirong, the other was Jin Shijia, and in addition, Lin Xiaolu, the girl Zhang Ran met in the tractor factory, was also among them.

The first comprehensive examination of language, music, and physical education is all improvisational exams, and the recitation is not a self-selected material, but a ready-made material given by the examiner, which is prepared for five minutes and then improvised to test the student's ability to speak without preparation and tutoring, and to test the student's imagination, comprehension and expressiveness. Vocal music is for students to improvise along with the melody of the piano played by the examiner, or improvised to the rhythm with the teacher.

However, this is the enrollment of the performance department, although it is necessary to test the examination of language, music, and body, but it is not a singer, not a dancer, or an announcer, and the requirements for vocal music and recitation skills are not so strict. The performance teacher pays attention to the expression of feelings, and the language, music, and body actually depend on whether the students recite dance and sing, whether there is the kind of thing that the performance teacher wants, and whether they are integrated into the emotion.

When Xu Jinglei was admitted to Nortel, when she took the physical exam, she danced a section of aerobics that she hadn't learned yet, and she danced messily. The examiner looked stupid, and when she finished jumping, he said to her helplessly, you just give us a lap. As a result, Xu Jinglei really ran around the big classroom, and the examiner let her pass. This thing sounds like a child's play, but in fact, the key to the matter is that her sketches in the third test are particularly good, and the teacher thinks she has the potential to perform.

If the teacher thinks you have potential, pitch and accent are not a problem, the teacher has experience, and will correct it through teaching in the first few years of school.

However, Chang Jirong and the three of them performed well, especially Chang Jirong, who has more than ten years of Peking Opera skills, which is not in vain. After watching his performance, the teachers present all nodded.

The other students were originally good, but with Chang Jirong and their jewels in front of them, they were very mediocre. They were all a little devastated, and felt that in this group they had really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes. But they quickly cheered up, this is the acting department exam, and the most important thing is acting.

And that's true, and the performance is undoubtedly the top priority. Candidates should correctly understand the character relationships, events, prescribed situations and conflicts in the propositions, and then develop imagination, devote themselves to the performance, and actively carry out actions.

After the acting exam began, Zhang Ran asked Jin Shijia and Lin Xiaolu to partner up to complete a rationalized sketch. The topic is: A says, "I'll tell you." B said, "No." Asking students to add a reasonable plot to the two sentences so that the two sentences appear in one occasion requires the candidate to consider the identities of the two people, in what specific place, and what happened. This is not only a test of students' imagination, but also a test of their communication and adaptability.

Jin Shijia and Lin Xiaolu acted in a scene of lovers quarreling, integrating two sentences that have no logical relationship into the situation, and successfully completed the sketch, especially Lin Xiaolu's performance was impressive, and she played a tricky and pungent girl vividly.

After Chang Jirong, Zhang Ran gave him a solo sketch, the content of which was three knocks on the door. This kind of three reasonable use of one action is a problem that is often encountered in art examinations, and the problem when Jiang Wen relied on Chinese opera was three turns.

The title sounds very simple, just knock on the door three times, and anyone can play it. But this is not the case, three knocks on the door need to show three characters with different personalities, or a character knocking on the door for three different purposes in three completely different prescribed situations, with three different mentalities, different emotions.

The reason why Zhang Ran came up with this topic is to see more performance possibilities in Chang Jirong's body.

Chang Jirong began to perform after a short period of thought, the first time, he lingered in front of the door for a long time, reaching out to knock on the door several times, but after raising his hand, he stopped halfway. He was very distressed and wanted to knock on the door, but he was a little embarrassed. It can be seen that something unpleasant should have happened with his girlfriend. Will it be very awkward to meet after knocking on the door? Will the other party tease him and laugh at him? He really hesitated. After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind, took a breath, and knocked on the door.

The second time, Chang Jirong staggered on the field, and it was obvious that he was drunk. He knocked twice on the door, his legs were a little unsteady, and he leaned his back against the door. After knocking twice, the wine surged upwards, his body slid down with the door panel, and he sat on the ground, he raised his fist and slammed the door, shouting in his mouth: "Open the door!" Zhang Guihua, I told you to open the door, you can't hear it!" After he shouted twice, there was no reaction in the room, and he slapped them more violently, and scolded at the same time, vividly outlining the image of a drunk.

For the third time, Chang Jirong held a note in his hand, carried a sack on his shoulder, and walked forward while looking at the door number. He saw a knock on a door, but there was no one inside, and he put the produce on his shoulder on the ground, and knocked again, but no one came to open the door. He looked at the note suspiciously, then at the door, and then knocked heavily on it. This time he knocked louder, but there was no response. He felt that something was wrong, looked at the note again, then at the house number, and went to the opposite door to look closely, and suddenly found that the house number was wrong. At last he stood in front of a door, glanced at the house number, checked the number on the note, and after thinking that it was accurate, he knocked again very confidently, and shouted: "Auntie, I am a dog!"

Zhou Zheng laughed, Yang Fan called him Gou Yu when he first tried it, but he didn't expect that now he actually called himself Gou Yu, it seems that he has a soft spot for this name!

The other teachers also smiled and nodded, acting very well, this Chang Jirong is indeed a talent!

However, Zhang Ran did not have the slightest joy on his face, but sneered: "Chang Jirong, why did you come to Nortel? You have studied Peking Opera for ten years, and you left it so easily, in your heart, Peking Opera is so worthless? Or do you think that Peking Opera can't make a lot of money and become famous?" )
