Chapter 885: Master and Apprentice
Liu Yifei has worked hard in Hollywood in recent years, and after "The King of Kung Fu", he starred in "Chunli Biography 1 and 2", as well as "Killing Tournament" three action movies. "Killing Tournament" was not released in theaters, and the DVD was directly released, and the DVD sold well, while "The Legend of Chun-Li" performed well at the box office due to the influence of "Street Fighter" and Chun-Li's popularity, with a film investment of $20 million, a box office of nearly $20 million in North America, and a box office of nearly $40 million overseas. "Chunli Legend 3" has begun preparations, and it will start shooting at the end of the year.
As a yellow race, it is already quite remarkable to be able to have your own series of movies in Hollywood, even if it is a B-grade movie. However, for Liu Yifei, this is far from enough, after breaking with Zhang Ran, she positions herself as a first-line star in Hollywood, in order to prove that Zhang Ran is wrong. It's just that Hollywood is the world of white people, and they would rather give important roles to blacks than to yellow people, and so far she has not been given a decent opportunity.
Hollywood can really give yellow people a chance, and the only one who can use Asians in big productions is Summit Entertainment, but that is Zhang Ran's company, and Liu Yifei can't take over Summit Entertainment's plays. Seeing Zhang Ran's growing influence in Hollywood, but she was never able to achieve her goals, she was extremely indignant.
Now I suddenly heard that Zhang Ran accepted Jingtian as an apprentice, and said that he would cooperate when Jingtian finished the drama, and let Jingtian be the heroine. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Zhang Ran really regarded herself as an experiment, and she also pretended to take care of herself, but in fact, he was very disgusted with herself in his heart. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she posted on Weibo in a fit of anger.
After Liu Yifei posted on Weibo, netizens were stunned, she has always been a good-tempered fairy sister, what happened today? Fans are also puzzled, who bullied my family Qianqian? This is too hateful!
"Who bullied my Sissi? My Sissi is so gentle that she is angry, this is so hateful!"
"Sissi, don't be angry, who bullied you and tell us!
"Wow, it turns out that Liu Yifei will also be angry, I thought she was just a bun as her name suggests!"
Zhang Ran knew that Liu Yifei was scolding herself, and this girl was still hating herself! But he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and firmly believed that he was right, at least Liu Yifei is now a qualified actor.
In the previous life, Liu Yifei often had acting expressions, but when you look at her eyes, you will find that the eyes are empty, and you can't feel the inner waves, nor the soul of the characters. But now it's different, now Liu Yifei's acting is a bit similar to Zhang Ziyi, before "The Grandmaster", Zhang Ziyi's role was always ruthless, which made the character particularly fresh and made Zhang Ziyi go international;
As a master, Zhang Ran really taught this untalented apprentice!
After the meeting at the peak of the century, Zhang Ran drove back to his community, got out of the car, locked the car door, and then walked to the villa.
Zhang Ran took out the key, opened the door, and saw Zhang Jingchu and Jing Tian sitting on the sofa talking, so he asked, "Jing Tian, aren't you recording a running man in Lin'an, why did you come to my house?"
When Jing Tian saw Zhang Ran coming back, he jumped up from the sofa like a spring, and greeted him with a smile: "Master, you're back!" and then said loudly: "Recording a show is not as important as apprenticing! Master, I really hope to worship under your door and learn acting with you, so you can accept me!"
After finishing speaking, Jing Tian knelt in front of Zhang Ran with a "poof" and looked at his eyes sincerely.
Just now Zhang Jingchu talked to Jing Tian about apprenticeship, and Zhang Jingchu asked Jing Tian, how do you apprentice when you are down? Jing Tian said, I will kneel down for the master. Zhang Jingchu thought she was joking, but she didn't expect her to really kneel. Zhang Jingchu looked at Jing Tian dumbfounded, this girl is really real, really cute!
"You get up first!" Zhang Ran said expressionlessly: "I ask you, you have been clamoring to worship me as a teacher, so do you know the difference between teacher and student and master and apprentice?"
Jing Tian stood up from the carpet and said seriously: "The relationship between teachers and students is relatively distant, and the relationship between master and apprentice is relatively close, and they are a family." Apprenticeship is not only a formality, but also a declaration that you will formally learn from Master from now on, and from then on you will become a family, a teacher for one day and a father for life. ”
Zhang Ran was a little surprised, he didn't expect the stupid Jing Tian to really say something, it was unexpected. Of course, teachers and students are different from master and apprentice, teachers and students are mostly used to learn culture, often one teacher to multiple students, students have finished learning, graduated, everyone will go their own way, and master and apprentice are often learning skills, teaching a skill, mostly one teacher to one apprentice. The Master is responsible for the future of the apprentice, and the apprentice must obey the Master as he treats the Father.
Although the relationship between master and apprentice is getting weaker and weaker, the relationship between master and apprentice is still very important in the field of performance, because performance pays attention to words and deeds, and pays special attention to inheritance. Feng Yuanyi's teacher Mersin is German, and she originally hoped to pass on her mantle to Feng Yuanyi, but Feng Yuanyi returned to China for acting, and Mersin was angry with Feng Yuanyi for many years. The Germans are still like this, not to mention China, which pays attention to "being a teacher for one day and a father for life".
Zhang Ran said solemnly: "The relationship between teachers and students, as long as the teacher teaches seriously, whether the student can graduate or not, whether he can learn well, the teacher is generally not responsible; You say that if I accept a stupid girl like you, who has no talent, no experience, and no aura, won't I be exhausted to death?"
Jing Tian knew that she was not a particularly smart girl like herself, so she pursed her lips and begged: "Master, I know that I am stupid, but diligence can make up for it, I will work harder than others." Master, didn't you say that everyone has the potential to become a good actor, just like everyone carries a certain amount of gold, the difference is only that I show three or four kilograms and you only reveal half a kilogram, as long as I work hard, I can become a good actor!"
"That's not what I said, it's Grotowski. Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Jingchu, Liu Yifei's apprentice made a lot of trouble, Jingtian wanted to worship himself as a teacher, he must ask Zhang Jingchu's opinion, "Daughter-in-law, do you say I will accept this apprentice?"
Jing Tian ran to Zhang Jingchu's side, pulled her arm, and said pitifully: "Master!"
Last night, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu talked about this, and Zhang Jingchu liked Jingtian very much and agreed. She knew that Zhang Ran was saying this now, showing respect for herself in front of outsiders, and said with a smile: "I think Jingtian is very good, so accept her!"
Jing Tian said, "Thank you, Master", looked at Zhang Ran, and said nervously and expectantly: "Master, I agreed!"
Zhang Ran nodded slightly and said slowly: "For actors, genres, skills, and even talent are not the most important, the most important thing is to have a heart that truly loves acting." At this point, you are better than many people, so you can barely accept you as an apprentice!"
So far, there are about 40 students and apprentices of Zhang Ran. If he was asked to choose a successor from among these disciples, he would most likely choose Jingtian. Although Jing Tian's talent is not high and his life experience is relatively simple, Zhang Ran feels that the farthest among these disciples in performance may be Jing Tian.
When it comes to acting talent, Yang Fan is one of the more prominent among Zhang Ran's students, but in her last life, she became a well-known king of bad movies, and the audience shook their heads when they heard Yang Fan's acting skills. The reason is very simple, Yang Fan's mind is not on acting, but just taking advantage of his youth and popularity to make quick money. If you don't have to act and deal with it randomly, your acting skills will naturally not come out.
People who really love acting will pursue acting as a lifelong career, even if the talent is not high, as long as he is willing to work hard, as long as he can persist in acting, acting skills will be practiced one day!
Jing Tian cheered and said with a smile: "Master, when will we hold the apprenticeship ceremony?"
Zhang Ran remembered that a few years ago, Zhao Benshan accepted apprentices, and the apprentices knelt down and bowed to him in groups. The media criticized at the time that it was like the head of the sect ascending the throne, ugly, and feudal!
Zhang Ran actually felt the same way, he didn't like things that were too formal, and said with a straight face: "What kind of apprenticeship ceremony is there, don't you know that the master hates formalized things the most?"
Jing Tian hoped to hold a beautiful ceremony like Yu Shaoqun worshiped Feng Yuanyi as a teacher, so he said: "But apprenticeship is a very serious matter, Yu Shaoqun worshiped Feng Yuanyi as a teacher, so he held an apprenticeship ceremony, and many people testified about it!"
Zhang Ran looked at Jing Tian, thinking to himself that Feng Yuan's apprentice Yu Shaoqun has a lot of talent and aura, and then think about himself, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan, these bad movie queens have all become their apprentices or students, and now even Jing Tian has become his own apprentice. He couldn't help but say, "I'm simply the queen of bad movies, the terminator!"
Jing Tian didn't understand and asked, "Master, what is the Queen of Bad Movies Terminator?"
Zhang Ran naturally wouldn't say the words of Dongyang Fan, West Tangyan, Bei Jingtian, and Nan Yihuan, coughed, and said, "I'll call Feng Yuanyi!"
When Jing Tian heard Zhang Ran say this, he said happily: "Teacher Feng Yuanyi has held an apprenticeship ceremony, he has experience!"
Zhang Ran said lightly: "The expedition has experience in accepting apprentices, I will introduce you to her and let him accept you as an apprentice!"
Jing Tian was startled and quickly admitted his mistake: "Master, I was wrong. Whatever Master says is what it is, and if Master says not to do it, then don't do it!"
Zhang Ran smiled: "That's it, from today onwards, you will be my apprentice!"
Jing Tian cheered, and then smiled sweetly: "With Master and Master, there are two more people in this world who love me." ”
Zhang Ran thought that he would be over if he agreed to accept Jingtian as an apprentice, but he didn't expect that the next day Jingtian gave him and Zhang Jingchu two Chinese-style padded jackets. Zhang Ran looked at the padded jacket in his hand and was very surprised: "It's April now, you actually sent a padded jacket?
Jing Tian hugged Zhang Jingchu's arm and said with a smile: "Master, you don't understand! This means that I am willing to be the intimate little padded jacket of the master and the master!"
Two days later, the Peking Film Festival closed, and Zhang Ran participated in the summary meeting held by the organizing committee. At the meeting, the members of the organizing committee talked about how the festival was successful and what outstanding achievements it has achieved. Zhang Ran originally wanted to make some suggestions on the various shortcomings of the film festival, but he gave up when he saw this situation, let's not be disgusting.
The next morning, Zhang Ran took his assistant and bodyguard Chen Hao on a plane and flew to Nanjing to visit the crew of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". At the opening of the Peking Film Festival, Zhang Yimou took Tom Cruise to attend the opening ceremony. At that time, Zhang Yimou invited Zhang Ran, hoping that he would take the time to take a look at the crew, and hope to have some exchanges with Zhang Ran on creation.
