Zhang Ran stared at Liu Yifei for a few seconds, saw her meet his gaze, a stubborn look, and nodded slowly: "Since you want to try, then try it!" After speaking, he picked up two pages of the script: "You and Ding Sheng have a play, I hope you show the piety of the character!"

Movie auditions are generally two-part, the first is chatting, the actor needs to warm up, chatting helps the actor relax and get into the state, and then the script is the audition, which is to let the actor try to read the prepared script. The actor has just received the script, and it is very difficult for him to perform perfectly, and he usually holds the script and reads it at the same time.

Zhang Ran was too familiar with Liu Yifei, so he didn't talk to her much, and went straight to the point. The role he gave Liu Yifei was a girl Jason met when he crossed over to the side of the road in Maple Leaf City. The girl took Jason to the city and told him that the statue of the black cloak was their god. This role is one of the more important supporting roles, and there are more scenes.

Liu Yifei is simple and knows English, so it's okay for her to play it, but Zhang Ran thinks that playing such a role doesn't mean anything to her, and now she needs to learn, not take on the play!

As a master, he really hopes that his disciples will lay a solid foundation, so that the road of acting can go further!

Liu Yifei took the script and looked at it, there were not many lines, only a few sentences. Before coming, she had read the novel "Six Beings of the Realm" repeatedly, and although she was now playing a role that was not in the novel, she knew the theme, tone, and subsequent development of the story. She silently read the lines twice, briefly constructed the characters in her heart, and then signaled that Ding Sheng could start.

"What's the matter with that statue?" Ding Sheng held the script. Read the lines in an exaggerated tone.

"That's our god, the god of free heaven!" Liu Yifei held the script in his hand. He raised his head and looked at the non-existent statue. Her gaze is religious. The tone is full of awe, like a devout Buddhist facing the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

……

After Liu Yifei finished acting, Zhang Ran nodded slightly, acting better than he imagined. Although she has been filming for the past few months, it can be seen that she is insisting on training, which really satisfies Zhang Ran. However, he didn't show too much emotion, and said lightly: "Let's do it all over again, this time I want you to show doubts, doubts about this so-called 'god'!"

A character, a scene, or a line can all have different performances. Zhang Ran was cooperating with Feng Yuanyi and Chen Daoming. Shot more than ten times in one shot, their performances are basically not the same. As far as Zhang Ran knows, the most powerful is Meryl Streep, who can organize more than 100 ways of acting in a play.

Zhang Ran hasn't seen Liu Yifei acting for a few months, and he wants to see if the current Liu Yifei can adjust at any time according to the needs of the director and quickly organize different performances.

Liu Yifei pondered for a moment and began to perform for the second time, this time the character she played was no longer pious in the face of the statue of the black-robed man, but faintly suspicious.

After this. Zhang Ran asked Liu Yifei to change two more acting methods, and she acted decently, but Zhang Ran still filled in the three words "not considered" in the column of "audition again or confirm the candidate".

After making an evaluation, Zhang Ran stood up. moved a chair and placed it next to Ding Sheng, and then beckoned, "Buns." You're sitting here. Join us as a judge and see what others do!"

Liu Yifei glanced at Zhang Ran. Moved the chair to his side and sat down: "Master, I want to sit next to you!"

The next one to come in and audition is Zhou Xun. She was a little surprised to see Liu Yifei sitting in the interviewer's position, but then she became happy again, she and Liu Yifei could talk very well, she should be able to help herself say a few words!

Zhang Ran admired Zhou Xun's acting skills, Zhou Xun's acting skills came from life, and they belonged to the performance at his fingertips, he directly picked up the two pages of the script and said: "You cooperate with Ding Sheng and play this scene again!"

Zhou Xun took the script from Zhang Ran's hand, read it for almost a minute, digested it, walked to the center of the room with Ding Sheng, and then started the performance. The content of her performance is the same as Liu Yifei, that is, the dialogue between the girl and Jason.

After a few lines, Zhang Ran had to say that Zhou Xun is indeed very good, she has not received systematic professional training, but she is very talented, has rich life experience, the whole performance is very natural, and the expression control and detail control are particularly exciting.

Liu Yifei was completely stupid, Zhou Xun only read the script for one minute, and he could perform this scene very perfectly, and the performance was so delicate and real. No wonder Master wants me to learn from her, it's amazing!

Zhang Ran directly wrote "This role is played by Zhou Xun" in the column of "audition again or to determine the candidate". Of course, he had plans to let Zhou Xun star, but he still had to listen to Zhao Fei and Ding Sheng's opinions, so he didn't make a decision on the spot, and said calmly: "I'm glad that you came to the audition, and when we finish auditioning all the actors, we will notify you!"

"Thank you, Director. Zhou Xun thanked him and left the room.

At noon, after having lunch in the school cafeteria, Zhang Ran brought Liu Yifei into the office of Qingying Studio. He believes that after watching the performances of other actors in the morning, Liu Yifei will definitely have something to gain, and now he can talk to her.

Zhang Ran looked at Liu Yifei and asked, "Baozi, you watched so many actors' auditions in the morning, do you have any feelings?"

Liu Yifei said in a low voice: "I feel that my performance is very bad, and I am too far behind other actors." ”

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "I told you, your biggest problem is the lack of life, like what is the most important life for your older children? You don't want to go out and act all day long, let alone be a star. At Nortel, you are just an ordinary student, don't wrap yourself, you have to be like other classmates, go to class, get out of class, eat, watch movies, and fall in love...... You have to go through all the lives that ordinary college students have experienced, and this will be an important source of your performance improvement in the future!"

Liu Yifei whispered: "Master, I didn't want to go out to act, and I didn't want to be a star. I also wanted to go to class, get out of class, eat, and watch a movie with them, but they stopped talking ......" words. She lowered her head slightly, looking very aggrieved.

Zhang Ran realized that he had made a mistake. Liu Yifei came to find him because he was wronged, and asked, "Baozi, are you not getting along well with your classmates?"

Liu Yifei pursed her mouth and nodded aggrievedly.

Zhang Ran thought about it for a while and understood the problem, Liu Yifei missed a semester of classes, plus he was famous, so he was more likely to be excluded in school. However, he remembered that Liu Yifei had a good relationship with Jiang Yan, and asked, "What about Jiang Yan?

Liu Yifei shook his head and said: "Crawling wants to act in a movie, it seems to be called "Peacock". It's going to be training for a long time, and now it's in the field, not in school!"

Zhang Ran was slightly stunned when he heard "Peacock", Zhang Jingchu became popular with the role of her sister in "Peacock" in the previous life. The emotional expression of "Peacock" is subtle, and the narrative is realistic, but in the part of the sister, it is rare to show passion and romance. A scene of my sister dragging a homemade parachute through the bustling street market is the cadenza of the whole film. It is also Zhang Ran's initial impression of Zhang Jingchu.

It's a very good movie, and it's a bit of a shame to miss it. However, Zhang Ran is confident that he will make a better movie and let Zhang Jingchu go further!

Seeing that Zhang Ran was silent, Liu Yifei asked, "Master." What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Ran glared at her: "I'm wondering if to expel you from the division! It's so disappointing to me, actors are warriors, and they must have a strong heart." But what about you, if you don't get along well with your classmates, you want to escape, I don't have such a cowardly apprentice!"

Liu Yifei's eyes were a little red. said aggrievedly: "Master, they are talking nonsense. said that I was admitted to Nortel through the back door, and said, I followed, hum, I don't like them!"

Zhang Ran saw that she was about to cry, and comforted: "It's really hateful to say bad things about people behind your back, they are jealous of you." People will be jealous of others at times, and Master will also have them, so don't worry too much about it. In fact, your classmates may not really want to exclude you, they are all ordinary students, and you are celebrities, and they are not the same kind of people as you, and they feel that you are far from them, so they will naturally alienate you! At this time, you must learn to take the initiative to communicate with everyone, you can't think that I am a fairy sister, I am young, you all have to let me, that is impossible! In school, you are all students, you are equal! You have to learn to get along with people!

"Master, I also want to get along with them, but they are cold to me, they don't take me to buy clothes, eat, or watch movies, I don't know what to do!"

"You are a star now, you often shoot advertisements and magazines, your mother knows a lot of people in this area, if you take the initiative to help your classmates introduce advertisements and magazines, will the classmates who get your help be grateful to you, and will your relationship with your classmates soon become better? You have to learn to use your own advantages!"

"I know, Master!" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, and sure enough, Master was still powerful.

"That's it!" Zhang Ran put his hands together and stood up, he suddenly remembered a question and reminded, "Baozi, SARS has been in trouble recently, and it is said that the contagion is very amazing, I am afraid that it will spread to Beiping." You have to pay attention, buy a mask to take with you, and don't go to crowded places recently!"

"Master, you don't wear a mask either, you can buy one too, don't get sick!" Liu Yifei said seriously.

At six o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran completed today's casting work and returned home.

Zhang Ran stepped into the house, smelled the aroma of food, and stretched out his head to look at the kitchen, where Zhang Jingchu was busy. It's good to have a girlfriend, you don't have to eat in the canteen every day, the food in Nortel's canteen is really not good!

"Beauty, what about cooking?" Zhang Ran walked around behind Zhang Jingchu, grabbed her waist, and said in a hooligan tone.

"You go to watch TV, I'll make this dish, and then you can cook a soup and eat!" was intimately hugged by Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu was very sweet, with a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes were full of sweet charm.

"No, I want to watch you cook!" Zhang Ran hugged his hands tighter.

"Don't make a fuss, it'll be mushy for a while!" Zhang Jingchu untied Zhang Ran's hand from her waist, and then pushed him out of the kitchen, "It's going to be fine soon, wait obediently!"

Zhang Ran came to the living room to make a cup of tea and leaned comfortably on the sand. I turned on the TV and flipped through the programs of various channels with the remote control, and there was really nothing to see. He was about to go online to watch the news when the screen of the TV flashed and the trailer for Before Dawn appeared.

"In Shanghai in the autumn of 1948, in order to obtain the hidden plan of the Kuomintang, the **** underground party organization launched a life-and-death struggle with the agents of the Eighth Intelligence Bureau of the Kuomintang with the help of the **** party members who had been undercover for many years. Zhang Ran, director of "Burst Drummer", and Zhang Jiandong, director of "Don't Talk to Strangers", joined hands with Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo to create a ......"

After watching the trailer of "Before Dawn", Zhang Ran's face sank: "What the hell is Beiping Satellite TV doing! How can I meet Mr. Zhang Jiandong by doing this!" (To be continued.) )
