Chapter 519: The Great Earthquake Initiated

readx;? Li Man knew that Zhang Ran was not talking about fun, but this was the second female lead in Zhang Yimou's movie, which newcomer could refuse? She mustered up the courage to say: "Teacher Zhang, this is a movie directed by Zhang Yimou, and it is the second female lead, you let me go!"

Zhang Ran knows what it means for a newcomer to be able to star in Zhang Yimou's movie, Mou Girl has her own compulsion, and she debuted as a second-tier actor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info compared to other actors who have climbed up step by step from the bottom, it is really a step to the sky, and no newcomer can resist this temptation. If Zhang Ran stood in Li Man's position, he would definitely act.

It's just that Zhang Ran, as the head teacher of Class 1 of the 05 undergraduate, understands Li Man, but he still can't open this opening. If Li Man is allowed to go out to film, what will the other students think, and who will devote themselves to learning acting?

This opening must not be opened!

Zhang Ran looked at Li Man and said indifferently: "I don't agree with Spielberg's female number one, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, either stay in school and study honestly, or drop out of school to film!"

Li Man's expression was very solemn, and he pursed his lips and looked at the ground. She had expected this to be the result before she came, and she had already thought about what to do. She said in a heavy tone: "Teacher Zhang, then I will drop out!"

Zhang Ran looked at Li Man, who had a stubborn expression, sighed secretly, and then said solemnly: "Have you thought about it? Are you sure you want to drop out of school to film?"

Li Man hesitated, but still said firmly: "Mr. Zhang, I have already decided, I am going to film." ”

Zhang Ran said: "Teacher Yan is not here now, she went out to buy things with Teacher Li, and when you come to her, she will give you a withdrawal application form." Fill out the application form and come to me for signing, and then take it to the school to get it stamped. When you finish all the formalities, come back to me, I have something to say to you!"

Li Man nodded and said, "Got it, Teacher Zhang!"

The withdrawal procedures were not complicated, and by the afternoon of the next day, Li Man had completed the formalities that should be done. Just waited for her to finish the formalities and thought that she would not be a member of this place from now on, so she crawled on the bed and cried sadly.

After crying, Li Man suddenly remembered that Zhang Ran had said to himself that he would go to him after completing the formalities, and he had something to say, so he came to the office.

Zhang Ran looked at Li Man standing in front of him and asked, "The formalities have been completed?"

Li Man nodded: "It's done, I'll leave school tomorrow to report to the crew!"

Zhang Ran sighed and said, "After all, we are teachers and students, and I have something I want to say." "Golden Armor" is a play directed by Zhang Yimou, after acting, you will be a Mou girl, this is a big aura, it will give you a high starting point, you don't have to worry about no filming in a short period of time, and they are all female number one;

Li Man nodded, this half-year training has not only honed her body, but also honed her will, and now she is much stronger than when she first entered the school.

Zhang Ran continued: "You have studied Grotowski for half a year, and the foundation is to play very well, but you have not received training in acting techniques, and there will be certain problems in shaping the role, so you must make up for the missing lessons." After performing "Golden Armor", it is best for you to sign up for a training class at Nortel or China Opera to continue the unfinished course, or ask the teacher to conduct special training, so that you can go further. Remember my words, no matter how high the starting point is, no matter how bright the aura of the girl is, it can only last you for a while, actors ultimately rely on their acting skills to speak, so you have to work hard to hone your acting skills, which is the foundation of your life as an actor!"

When Li Man heard Zhang Ran say this, he asked with anticipation: "Teacher Zhang, can I come back to listen to the class?"

Zhang Ran said categorically: "No, if I can let you come back, why should I let you leave!"

Li Man bit his lip and felt very sad.

Zhang Ran opened the drawer and took out a book and put it in front of Li Man: "I originally wanted to give you a copy of Stella Adler's "The Art of Performance", but there is no Chinese version, and you can't understand the English version, so I will give you a copy of "Six Lectures on Acting"!"

Li Man took the book and looked at it, his eyes were a little red: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "This book is relatively old, but it is a very practical book. I heard Zhou Xingchi tell such a thing, Wu Mengda was a foreign grinder every day in the wireless mix, and he went to drink and gamble after finishing work, and he didn't open his mind until he met Guan Haishan, an old drama bone. Under Guan Haishan's teaching, Wu Mengda understood what acting is, and Guan Haishan not only taught Wu Mengda many things in person, but also gave him a photocopy of "Six Lectures on Acting". After Wu Mengda got this book, he gave it to Liu Qingyun after reading it, and after Liu Qingyun read it, he gave it to his friend Wu Zhenyu, and Wu Zhenyu was asked by Zhou Xingchi after reading it...... In this way, the photocopy of "Six Lectures on Acting" played a magical effect, teaching three Academy Award winners and two Best Supporting Actors. So you have time to read it, it will help you!"

Li Man's tears suddenly fell, and he choked up: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand: "Okay, let's go!"

Li Man bowed deeply to Zhang Ran, turned around and walked out of the office.

Zhang Ran didn't know if Li Man had put his words in his heart, he didn't want Li Man to fall from the clouds after performing "Golden Armor" like in his previous life, and he never got a work in his hands again.

Teachers and students, Zhang Ran really hopes that Li Man can have a good future.

Li Man's departure did not cause any sensation, there were a lot of envy, but it was just envy. After envy, everyone studied more seriously, everyone else was already a girl, how could they do it if they didn't work hard. Therefore, the students in Zhang Ran's class carried out observation training more seriously, observing fruits, trees, pedestrians, and everything that could be observed.

On March 1, China Film Group, Century Peak, and Tangshan Municipal Government held a press conference at the Beiping Hotel to officially launch the film "Tangshan Earthquake".

As with other projects with government participation, it began with speeches by leaders from all walks of life, Zhang Hongsen, deputy director of the General Administration, the mayor of Tangshan City, and the leaders of China Film, of course, Zhang Ran, as the main investor and director, naturally did not avoid vulgarity, and took the stage to make a generous statement, saying that he wanted to make the film into a work that can stand the test and has spirit.

Next is the most important process of the press conference, the signing ceremony. In fact, the three parties of Century Peak, China Film and Tangshan have already signed a co-production agreement, but just for publicity, everyone pretended to sign it again.

When the contract was signed, the flashing lights kept flashing, and the news media frantically reported the scene.

After the signing ceremony, Zhang Ran was interviewed by the media and answered the reporters' questions.

A reporter asked: "Director Zhang, why do you want to shoot the theme of the Tangshan earthquake?"

Zhang Ran replied: "Now there is a saying that foreigners say that many Chinese themselves follow suit, that is, Chinese have no faith. At every turn, the Chinese have no faith, how can it be. I don't think it's right, our nation has gone through 5,000 years of ups and downs, countless tribulations, and even the crisis of national extinction, so how did we get to where we are today? If there was no spirit and no faith to support us, would our nation have been able to get to where we are today? I am afraid that it would have been dispersed long ago.

When I came back from a visit to Bergman in August last year, I stumbled upon a report about the Tangshan earthquake and looked for some information. After reading it, I was particularly touched by the fact that the entire city was almost destroyed due to the earthquake in '76, but the surviving people built a brand new city based on the ruins. I thought, isn't Tangshan the epitome of our nation, and isn't the spirit of the Tangshan people supporting the spirit of our nation? ”

A reporter asked: "Do you think earthquake-themed films should avoid reproducing real scenes? What do you think of the secondary harm caused by film and television works to the people affected by the disaster?"

Zhang Ran felt that this question was malicious, frowned and explained: "The script was written by Mr. Liu Heng, and we were not satisfied with the four drafts he wrote at first. When writing the fifth draft, he met a person who had experienced a major earthquake, and this person's experience was almost the same as the framework of our story, and Liu Heng put her experience into the story. This is, of course, with the permission of the other side. Mr. Liu Heng has interviewed many witnesses, and everyone hopes that there will be an excellent movie to commemorate the disaster. Our country is an earthquake-prone country, and last year alone, there were 11 earthquakes in the country, and millions of people were affected. If our film can raise awareness of earthquakes, then I think it will be very meaningful. ”

A reporter asked: "Do you think this movie can move the people who came out of the earthquake?"

Zhang Ran pondered for a while and said: "We will have touching scenes in this movie, but I don't make this movie to make everyone cry, but I hope everyone laughs, I think everyone can walk out of the cinema with a smile after watching the movie, that is the biggest success of the movie, I made this movie in the hope of bringing warmth and hope to the audience!"

No matter what questions he encountered, Zhang Ran answered patiently, but he was always tight-lipped about the plot of the movie.

At the end of the press conference, Zhang Ran did not forget to ask the media reporter for help: "We are preparing to say that other work is going relatively smoothly now, but we are in trouble with the props, I hope you can help us send a message to collect information on daily necessities in the 70s, such as enamel cups at that time, bicycles in that era? Sometimes hundreds of bicycles are needed in a shot, and the cost is too high to do." Whoever had bicycles, sewing machines, kettles and other daily necessities of that era, can you donate some to us, it is really not possible to sell them to us cheaply. ”

After the press conference, the headlines of the entertainment section of the domestic media were all about the press conference, and almost all the media focused on the issue of props, and there were even many articles directly in the headline that read "Collecting old things from all over the country".

After seeing the report, domestic viewers responded positively, and many people called the newspaper's hotline to express their willingness to donate bicycles and other items free of charge. There are also many people on the official website of the movie, saying that they are willing to take out their idle old things and give them to the movie for free.

In order to commemorate and express his gratitude, Zhang Ran personally designed a certificate of honor in the style of the 70s of the last century, attached his own signature, and awarded it to the prop donors who were hired.

Just as Zhang Ran was busy signing autographs, he suddenly received a strange phone call.

The voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone said: "Hello, is it Director Zhang Ran?"

Zhang Ran replied: "It's me, I don't know if you are?"

The man introduced himself: "My name is Fan Jianchuan, I am a collector, and I am also the director of the Jianchuan Museum, we have 5 million pieces of collection from the 70s of the last century, I heard that you are short of props from the 70s, we may be able to provide some help for Director Zhang's new film." ”

Zhang Ran pressed his head, immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Fan, I have admired my name for a long time." I'm such a pig brain, how can I forget you, the most famous collector in China. You can help us, that really solves our biggest problem!" (To be continued.) )
