The movie in which Fan Binbin wants to play soy sauce is "Edge of Tomorrow", which will play Lance, a member of Team J, who is the character played by Charlotte Lee, in the previous life.
Five months ago, Fan Binbin received an invitation from the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" to audition. After a round of auditions, director Doug Liman introduced the role of Lance and asked, "I need to put down all the work at hand and leave home to complete the half-year enclosed action and acting training, are you willing?" Fan Binbin nodded: "Yes." Doug Liman asked again: "You are not the only candidate, there are other contenders, but they won't tell you who they are, after half a year of training, and then decide whether to choose you, are you still willing?" Fan Binbin nodded again: "I do!"
After that, for five full months, Fan Binbin disappeared from public view, only to show up when Xie Jin died. In the past five months, she even changed her phone, cut off contact with friends, and only had one thing in her life to train behind closed doors for "Edge of Tomorrow".
Fan Binbin's mysterious disappearance aroused great curiosity among netizens, and various rumors emerged one after another, until an international student in New York broke the news that she saw Fan Binbin in New York, and everyone knew where she went. However, this not only did not dispel everyone's doubts, but instead led to more speculation, and some people even said that Fan Binbin was seen in a hospital in New York, and she had a big belly. As a result, everyone began to guess who the child was, and half of the entertainment industry was shot, and even Zhang Ran was shot twice.
When Zhang Ran walked into the training hall, he saw Fan Binbin at a glance, and she was the only one of the yellow race on the scene, which was easy to identify.
At this moment, Fan Binbin is training with the line coach in a London accent, their training method is more peculiar, two people stand facing each other, staring at each other and repeatedly saying the same sentence "Are you talking to me".
Ordinary people may feel weird when they see this scene, and they may even feel sick, how to repeat a sentence repeatedly. However, Zhang Ran knew that this was one of the two most basic and important training methods of the Mesler technique, and he was a little surprised to repeat the practice, but he did not expect that Fan Binbin was trained by the Mesler School in the United States.
The Mesler School is another genre of greater influence in the American school of method, in addition to Strasberg and Stella Adler, actors such as Diane Keaton, Gregory Peck, and Sandra Bullock are of this school.
However, Zhang Ran didn't have a good impression of this faction, and he couldn't accept their concept at all. The Mesler school of thought is very different from other schools in that it emphasizes that when performing, the actor should not focus on the role he is playing, but should rely on his or her own actual experience to respond to external stimuli almost instinctively. For example, when you play pain, you don't do anything, take a needle and poke you down, you really hurt, this is the best performance.
To put it simply, the performance of this school emphasizes improvisation, which is a bit like Wong Kar-wai making movies, and of course, the actors trained by this school are also very good.
However, in Zhang Ran's view, the biggest problem of this faction is that they need good opponents when acting, everyone stimulates each other and achieves each other, if you face awesome actors like Feng Yuanzheng and Chen Daoming, there is naturally no problem, but if you play against Yang Ying, Yang Fan, and Liu Shishi, then how can you still act in this play?
Zhang Ran smiled and applauded Fan Binbin: "Binbin, the London accent is very authentic, it is becoming more and more international, and it has really not been in vain in the past few months!"
Fan Binbin saw Zhang Ran, showed a look of surprise, said to the line coach, and walked over with a smile: "Director, why did you come to New York?"
"There's something to do, I heard that you were doing special training here, so come and take a look!" Zhang Ran looked at the muscles on Fan Binbin's arm, and remembered a sentence in "Water Margin", he stood up with his fists and walked on his arms, he really felt like an iron-blooded real man, and couldn't help laughing, "Not bad, you've got a good job, and now you are the most heavyweight actress among Chinese actresses!"
"Oh, director, you're making fun of people!" Fan Binbin said coquettishly.
The two chatted for a few words, and Fan Binbin issued an invitation full of anticipation: "Director, I'll invite you to dinner in the evening!"
Zhang Ran smiled when he heard this: "Okay, I originally said to invite you, but now I save it, I like to eat white food the most in my life, and I like others to invite me the most." ”
Fan Binbin chuckled: "Then we have a decision! I don't know what you want to eat?"
Zhang Ran shrugged his shoulders: "You are the master, naturally you have the idea, anyway, I will mess with you today!"
Fan Binbin thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to Chinatown to eat hot pot, I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time, I really want to eat it, I drool at the mention of hot pot!"
Zhang Ran nodded: "That's it!"
Soon, Fan Binbin started training again, saying "Are you talking to me" over and over again, Zhang Ran did not leave, and while watching Fan Binbin's training, he whispered to her agent and asked them about their training during this time.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Binbin finished training, came out of the training hall with Zhang Ran, and drove to a hot pot restaurant in Chinatown.
After walking into the hot pot restaurant, Zhang Ran and the others found a remote place to sit down, beckoned the waiter to order the food, and then ate it.
Zhang Ran asked while eating: "You have been training for five months, how do you feel?"
Fan Binbin chuckled indifferently: "At the beginning, I couldn't stand it, I felt very bitter and tired, and there was no Chinese food in the place where I lived, so I couldn't eat a Chinese food." Several times on the way home, when I was so tired that I couldn't move, I thought, I'm a star in China, and it's not like I don't have no acting, why did I come to the United States to suffer this foreign crime? Not only is it a small supporting role, but this matter has not yet been decided, in the end, it is not certain whether it is mine or not, why am I working so hard, what am I doing?"
Zhang Ran didn't make any comments on this, just listened quietly, as if in contemplation.
Fan Binbin exhaled softly, if it weren't for the fact that the actor in the movie was Tom Cruise, not that he had the opportunity to play opposite Cruise, or that he had the opportunity to enter Hollywood, he might have given up a long time ago: "But then I slowly got used to it, and I gradually felt a kind of peace and pleasure from the depths of my heart, and now I even enjoy this life a little." In one place, I don't know anyone, I stay quietly, there are not so many open and secret fights, and there are not so many intrigues, which is very comfortable! Sometimes I think that it is good to live like this!"
Zhang Ran thought that his eyes were very sharp, as if he could see Fan Binbin's heart. Fan Binbin does have a sense of calmness, which can't be performed, but it comes from inner strength. He was a little surprised, it seems that Fan Binbin's training in the past few months has really gained something, and he nodded slightly: "For actors, mentality is more important than skills, many actors have no problem with their skills, but there are too many desires in their hearts, and their performances are out of control, and they can't grasp this degree, which is why most actors can only complete their transformation until they are forty or fifty years old, and they can be free." Because when I reach the age of forty or fifty, I have seen through many things, and the obsessions in my heart have been let go. is like a peerless master in martial arts novels, returning to the basics and retracting freely. If you feel this way now, then your performance should be on the next level!"
Fan Binbin's eyes were bent into two crescents, and his expression was very excited: "Really, director, then you will ask me to shoot your next movie, I will definitely not let you down!"
Zhang Ran thought that although there were some changes, he was still the same Fan Binbin in his bones after all, and said with a faint smile: "Tomorrow you go to say goodbye to the teachers at school, and then go to Los Angeles." I had a phone call with Rob Freman this morning, and he told me that the role of Lance is set, and it's you!
Fan Binbin was stunned, tears poured out wildly, and the whole person couldn't cry.
In the past five months, she got up early in the morning every day, drove two hours to the actor training studio at 7:30 after breakfast, and the four-hour training in the morning included basic limb stretching, and then slowly took the props and guns that might be used in the movie, and after lunch was an acting class, starting from the most basic relaxation training, including English line practice, and after dinner, there was a fitness class, and she had to practice until night.
In the past five months, Fan Binbin has been training regularly day by day, and he has trained himself from a graceful girl with a willow waist to an iron-blooded real man. The whole person has gained 30 pounds, and now the whole person weighs nearly 130 pounds, and he is full of muscles.
It's just that all this was not in vain, and she finally won this opportunity. At this moment, all the grievances and sadness turned into tears pouring out, and a huge sense of happiness filled her heart.
This is Chinatown, most of the people who come to eat are Chinese, Zhang Ran and they sat in the remote exchange and did not attract everyone's attention, but Fan Binbin's cry attracted everyone's attention and was immediately recognized.
"Isn't this Zhang Ran!" "Fan Binbin is also here, why is Fan Binbin still crying?" "Wow, it looks like there is adultery!"
Someone directly took out his Apple phone, began to secretly take pictures, and posted them on Weibo.
Zhang Ran looked around and said helplessly: "Binbin, your crying not only made you cry in the headlines, but also made me cry in the headlines, it is estimated that tomorrow's newspapers will be full of news such as 'Zhang Ran New York Night Party Fan Binbin, Fan Binbin cried bitterly'!"
Fan Binbin then remembered that this was in Chinatown, and then looked around, countless eyes were focused on his table, quickly wiped his tears, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm really sorry director, I caused you trouble!"
Things are like this, Zhang Ran can't say anything, and it is not intentional for others to say it: "Forget it, I have been lying down countless times for so many years, and I am used to lying down, and this is also an opportunity to hype up for "Edge of Tomorrow" and my new film!"
Fan Binbin covered his mouth and chuckled: "Director, I didn't expect you to hype it too!"
Zhang Ran rolled his eyes: "How fresh, I'm also good in the entertainment industry." Normal hype in the entertainment industry is necessary, but malicious hype is very bad!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Fan Binbin.
When it was almost nine o'clock, Zhang Ran and the others came out of the restaurant, and Fan Binbin and his assistant drove Zhang Ran to the hotel. Zhang Ran got out of the car, said goodnight, and was about to go upstairs, Fan Binbin smiled at him: "What, don't you invite me to go up and sit down?"
Zhang Ran was slightly stunned, smiled at her and said, "It's too late, I have to catch a plane to Boston early tomorrow morning, I want to rest early, you have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so rest early!"
Fan Binbin looked at Zhang Ran's eyes, and Zhang Ran did not avoid her gaze, gentle and determined, but she couldn't see anything in his eyes, she thought to herself, what a person who can't understand, Yan Ran smiled and said: "Then you rest early, I'll go back." ”
Just as Fan Binbin and his assistant were on their way back, Zhang Ran and Fan Binbin had dinner together, and the photos of Fan Binbin crying out loud were posted on Weibo by netizens, which immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
