CHAPTER XIX
After getting Chen Xinxin's approval, Yao Qian immediately called Shen Lian.
"Hey, Mr. Yao, did you have anything you didn't say just now?" Not long after the two talked, Shen Lian was also a little strange, Yao Qian was not a forgetful person.
"I just received a notice from director Chen Xinxin that our original starring Jin Chengwu has some problems in Japan and may not be able to participate in the filming of our film, I mentioned you to the director, and he also agreed to let you come to audition, are you interested?"
"Chen Xinxin? The one who filmed "Sweet Honey"? Shen Lian was shocked.
"Yes, you know that "Sweet Honey" swept the major film awards ceremonies that year. And I can reveal to you that our confidence in this movie is even more than that of "Sweet Honey" back then. The actor is definitely a big name. Yao Qian revealed.
"Then what style is Director Chen going to take in this movie?" Shen Lian wondered.
"It's a song and dance film, and no one in China has ever done it." Yao Qian said.
"Huh?" Shen Lian suddenly guessed that the movie Yao Qian said should be "If Love" that helped Zhou Xun become the first to win the title of Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Golden Statue and Three Queens.
"Haha, I'm surprised. Director Chen specially invited a special stage teacher from Broadway in the United States to guide the stage situation of this film. And the plot is also very well interpreted. I think you can try it. ”
"Okay. Where was the filming location? Shen Lian agreed without hesitation.
"There will be a month-long shooting in Shanghai in the early stage, and there should be no problem with the exams at your school. Later, I will go to Beijing to shoot. Yao Qian gave Shen Lian a very satisfactory answer.
"Then I'll go to the audition tomorrow." Shen Lian said excitedly. "I'll talk to my agent right now."
"Be ready, don't let me down, I'm optimistic about you." Yao Qian encouraged Shen Lian and hung up. As soon as Shen Lian told Zhang Ting about Yao Qian's recommendation and Chen Xin's audition invitation, Zhang Ting immediately jumped up, excited.
"Jin Chengwu? Are you trying to try a play that was supposed to be played by Kim Seung-moo? Zhang Ting's tone was full of incredulity.
"It's just an audition, but you don't necessarily have to go." Shen Lian suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be calm.
"Do you know the lineup of this movie?" Zhang Ting asked.
"It should be a first-line big name in China, Mr. Yao didn't talk about it." Shen Lian pretended to be ignorant.
"As far as I know, the heroine of this movie should be Zhou Xun. She's my idol, and you want to play with my idol, oh no, I'm so excited. Zhang Ting was a little incoherent.
"Don't, Sister Tracy, don't worry, what other idols do you have, I will cooperate one by one in the future. Do you want Zhang Ziyi, Nicole Kidman? If you can't do Jennifer Aniston, so can Audrey Hepburn. Shen Lian bragged.
"You don't have a poor mouth. Let's go, let's put down the album first. I'll keep an eye on the sales for you, go back to the dorm at night and have a good rest, and go to the audition tomorrow morning. Zhang Ting pushed Shen Lian out of the door. Chen Hang, send him back. ”
Early the next morning, Shen Lian appeared at the audition location. The audition took place on the rebuilt West Nanjing Road. Shen Lian was wearing a suit with jeans, and he looked quite formal. After waiting for a while at the audition point, director Chen Xinxin was late, Chen Xinxin's hair was a little messy, and his face was a little haggard, and it seemed that Jin Chengwu's resignation was a big blow to him.
"Shen Lian is right? I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but I just discussed something urgent with someone from the investor. Have you seen our script before? Chen Xin asked.
"To be honest, I just received a notice from Mr. Yao last night. I just watched the introduction of the characters. Shen Lian said helplessly.
"Oh, by the way, we were also negligent when it came to this, we only gave Director Yao part of the script, and even if he gave it to you, it might not be of much help. So, tell us about your understanding of the role? Chen Xin asked.
"10 years ago, Lin Jiandong was a teenager who worked hard to pursue his dreams with dreams, and crossed the ocean to Beijing to study as a director, but the difficult life was unimaginable, and he did not have the kind of adaptability of his other classmates, which left him behind. And the moment he met Sun Na, Sun Na's self-reliance and optimism made him ashamed of himself. But when he faced Sunna's successive abandonments or betrayals, his mentality was somewhat destroyed. And his return ten years later was more of a revenge mentality. After ten years of perseverance, he is just remembering the pain of being hurt with hatred, unforgiveness, and constant torture of himself. Perhaps, as Sun Na taught him, the only person a person loves most is himself. Or, what he fell in love with was just the kind of emotion that moved him. Shen Lian expressed his understanding of Lin Jiandong's role.
"It was amazing. I have to admit your understanding and your eloquence, maybe one day you can also be a director. But for now, you're going to have to help me make this movie first. Chen Xin stretched out his hand towards Shen Lian. You are welcome to join us in this film. ”
"Thank you, director, I'll work hard." Happiness came so suddenly, Shen Lian's face flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly reached out to hold Chen Xinxin's hand.
"It may not be useful to work hard, and my requirements for this film will be very high. I treat every shot to the highest standard, and you have to be prepared for it, maybe it's going to be hard. Chen Xinxin took a preventive injection.
"I'm looking forward to your femdom on me, too." Shen Lian was very modest.
The next day, in a conference room in the hotel, Shen Lian saw all the members of the crew. Director Chen Xinxin is surrounded by people like stars holding the moon, next to him are the two top superstars of the singer Zhang Xueyou and Zhou Xun, while the Korean artist Ji Jinxi and his translator are sitting very quietly on the side.
Yao Qian pulled Yang Lin, stood in front of Chen Xinxin, and introduced to them: "This is our newcomer and protagonist Shen Lian, I hope you will take care of it more~!" ”
Chen Xin opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Our newcomers, let me introduce you, these are your seniors, they will help you, right!" "Chen Xin is indeed talented, and he is also very bold and righteous. In addition, Shen Lian is Yao Qian's apprentice, and almost no one dares to bully Shen Lian as soon as the two core characters of the movie are spoken, even if no one bullies him in the first place. After all, the actors present are all very good-tempered. Relatively easy to get along with.
Zhang Xueyou stood handsomely to the side, smiling, he likes to carry newcomers the most, after all, he knows that it is not easy for newcomers to fight. This time to participate, Zhang Xueyou was also invited by Chen Xinxin to visit the thatched house, and Chen Xinxin even said to him, "This movie, no one else may not be impossible, and it is absolutely impossible without you." And Zhou Xun, who was quietly listening to others' speeches, exuded a sense of tranquility, like an orchid, quietly releasing a faint fragrance. She is one of the best actresses in China, but she always feels that she has hit a bottleneck. And the role of this film allows her to find an opportunity to break through herself.
After simply greeting the people present, Shen Lian found a place on the side and sat down. "Then the opening ceremony of our film will be held tomorrow. At that time, there will be a lot of media coming, what to say, everyone is a professional, I don't need to say more. After that, our film will officially enter the filming stage, and I hope everyone will adjust themselves. Shen Lian, Zhou Xun, you two need to cultivate a tacit understanding, you will have kiss scenes and even some intimate scenes. Chen Xinxin made arrangements.
