After finalizing Zhang Ziyi, Cheng Peng made an appointment with another big star, Xu Jinglei. However, because other members of the crew had objections to whether she could play the role of Zhu Zhu well, an audition was specially arranged.

Xu Jinglei is not a newcomer, everyone knows her image and temperament better, and the audition arranged for her is not as complicated as that of a rookie actor, let alone let her turn in circles on the front, side, and back, Cheng Peng spent a while chatting with her about the script and the role, and then directly asked the makeup artist to put on makeup for her and prepare for the audition.

After some dressing up by the makeup artist, Xu Jinglei changed into a costume and appeared in front of everyone in a capable dress of a vest, and everyone was convinced by Cheng Peng's vision.

Xu Jinglei looks more delicate, but she has a big skeleton, broad shoulders, and thick arms, just like Cheng Peng said, she is relatively strong, and now she is dressed like a woman, so it is absolutely no problem for her to play Zhu Zhu.

Once the image is over, there is no other problem, and Xu Jinglei did not care much about the salary, but just made a special request, hoping that Cheng Peng could play a cameo role in her movie "Letter from a Strange Woman".

Cheng Peng knew that the quality of this film was good, and he would win awards abroad, and there was a big name like Jiang Wen, so he thought it was good, so he agreed without thinking about it.

Next, the crew invited two more Binbin to audition. The two of them are not first-line actresses at present, mainly acting in TV series, but they have some popularity among the audience.

Of course, they have also participated in many movies, but they are mainly soy sauce, and it will not be until 2005 when Wang Jinhua runs away with his actors, and Huayi will do his best to support the two of them, and they will become first-line actors.

Now they can cooperate with Zhang Ziyi and Xu Jinglei, and there are a lot of scenes, definitely not soy sauce, they have no reason to refuse, and they all readily agreed.

followed by two other female characters, Fan Binbin's sister Zhao Fei, a bit of a tomboy, surnamed Su Su, who is more rebellious.

Cheng Peng felt that Liu Shi's image and temperament were somewhat similar to Zhao Fei, so he called her and asked her to try it.

Because she is familiar with Master Liu, her audition is relatively simple, Cheng Peng did not directly ask her to act in the script, but said to her: "When you are given one minute, play a crying scene, and the content is set by yourself!" ”

Master Liu pondered for a while, and then began to perform, she squatted on the ground and cried: "Xiao Mi is dead, woo, why is Xiao Mi dead, why?" ”

Cheng Peng sat on the chair and observed her expression and eyes, and waited for her to cry for almost three minutes before stopping: "You can stop, you played well, but who is Xiao Mi?" ”

Master Liu couldn't hold back his tears, and while wiping his tears, he replied: "It's a cat raised by the family, and it died last year, woo!" ”

Cheng Peng applauded her and said, "It's a good performance, it's better than I imagined, you go back first." We'll let you know when our audition is complete. ”

After Master Liu left, Cheng Peng glanced at everyone and said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Meng has worked with Master Liu and has a good impression of her: "I think it's quite suitable, the character of Zhao Fei has always been under the protection of her sister, and she looks relatively gentle and a little weak, while Master Liu's temperament is more peaceful and looks more likable, which is quite suitable." ”

Cheng Peng nodded and said: "I have already considered the temperament image, the question I am worried about is that when my sister Zhao Xue is killed by a monster, Zhao Fei will break out, can Master Liu perform in this crazy state?" The crying scene just now was not bad, it was sad, but it still lacked a strong emotional impact, this girl was really too calm. ”

Wang Qinian said: "I think it's okay, the scene you said is dark, the camera flickers more powerfully, there is basically no close-up, her outburst is more expressed through sound and movement, there are few eye scenes, and there is no big problem." This girl has a more likable temperament, and the audience will feel heartache when they see her die, so the effect will come out. ”

Cheng Peng thought about it and felt that it was right, Zhao Fei's role was set as Master Liu, but she still decided to talk to her, and she had to do some training.

The next day, Cheng Peng called Liu Shishi and Liu's mother to the company.

Cheng Peng didn't hide it at all, and said straight to the point: "To be honest, I'm really a little hesitant to let you play it, but after weighing it repeatedly, I still plan to give you this role, because I think you have talent." ”

"Director, I won't let you down, I will definitely play well!"

"Compared with the other five leading actors in the movie, your acting skills are the weakest, but relative to your acting skills, you still have two particularly big shortcomings, which are more troublesome than your acting skills."

"Really, what?"

"The first deficiency is the eyes, Zhang Ziyi's eyes are very smart, they look radiant, very spiritual, your eyes look a little dull, lack of brilliance." If it is an outdoor play, you can use eye light to make up for it, but the cave cannot be properly lit, and eye light cannot be arranged.

"I'm short-sighted, and I have flashes of light." Master Liu was a little embarrassed.

"Zhou Haimei is short-sighted, and Liuxiaolingtong is myopic and flashing, but their eyes are very smart, especially Liuxiaolingtong, you can feel his cleverness just by looking at his eyes. Myopia is not a problem, eyes can be practiced. If you want to be an actor, I'll teach you a way to train. ”

"Really, then you teach me, right?" Master Liu's eyes lit up.

"The method is simple, but the key is persistence, this is not a few days, or even months to practice, it may take a year or two, can you stick to it?"

"Director, I can do it."

"The main problem of myopia is that the eyes are loose, so you need to practice three things, practice fixation, practice flexibility, and practice concentrating. The first is to practice fixation, you go to see it in the morning, and you keep staring, ten minutes, twenty minutes; The second is to practice flexibility, you can find a clock with a pendulum, and your eyes follow the pendulum, or go to watch others play table tennis, and your eyes follow the table tennis ball, which can make your eyes flexible; Finally, it is to practice spotlight, at night, you light a piece of incense, just stare at the incense, look for this point of view, the eyes of the six-year-old child are practiced in this way. ”

"Well, I'll practice hard when I go back."

"The second is that you lack emotion in performance, this requires special training, you may not be able to go out on Saturdays and Sundays, you must come to the company to receive special acting training!"

"Okay, Director!"

After sending off Master Liu, the role of Su Su was soon finalized, and Wang Luodan played it.

Wang Luodan is a very boyish girl, very lively, looks very hearty, and is close to the character's image and temperament, and she is a student of the film school, there is no big problem with acting, so it is more appropriate for her to play.

Of course, Cheng Peng didn't forget the monster actor, Lian Kai specifically talked about this problem, he thought about it for a while, and then called Huang Bo and asked him to make a cameo.

Huang Bo and Cheng Peng have collaborated on the MV of "Fairy Tale", although the time is very short, everyone gets along well, and he has no drama to play now, so he immediately agreed.

As soon as he hung up Huang Bo's phone, Cheng Peng's mobile phone rang again, and when he picked it up, he found that it was Yang Fan's phone.

In fact, Cheng Peng considered letting Yang Fan play the role of Wang Luodan, but after all, he was rejected once, and he felt a little guilty, so he didn't let her audition.

After connecting the phone, Cheng Peng asked with a smile: "Comrade Fox, why did you remember to call me?" ”

Yang Fan felt that Cheng Peng's tone seemed to be a little sarcastic, but now that he is a big director, even if he speaks ugly, she can only bear it: "Xiaopeng, I heard that your new film is recruiting actors, I don't know if there is a role suitable for me?" ”

Cheng Peng thought for a while and said, "If you didn't call me earlier, the main roles have been decided, and there is only one role that is not particularly important, if you are willing to play, you can try it." ”

"Okay, I'll come right over!"

When she rejected "The Two of Us", she never thought that this film would be shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, let alone that she would be able to win so many awards in Berlin.

Especially the media's evaluation of Tong Liyu made her so depressed that she wanted to cry, Zhang Ziyi should have been her own, but she refused.

Now that Cheng Peng has a new movie, she decided to perform well no matter what, even if it is the role of a passerby, she will not shirk it, and she must leave a good impression in his heart.

After Yang Fan arrived at the company, Cheng Peng did not arrange an audition for her, nor did he show her the script, but showed her the story version, because her character could not be reflected at all when she read the script, and she would only understand it by reading the storyboard.

Yang Fan is a fan of horror films, after reading the storyboard, the whole person is extremely excited, she feels that she has come to the right place: "Xiaopeng, this story is so cool, so good, which role should I play?" ”

Cheng Peng clicked on the storyboard, flipped to one of the pages, pointed to the screen and said, "Just play this!" ”

Yang Fan was dumbfounded at the time, because Cheng Peng's finger was pointing at a monster, and Cheng Peng planned to let her play a female monster!

When she came, she was thinking that even if Cheng Peng gave herself the role of passerby A, she would not refuse, but now Cheng Peng gave her a role that was not even as good as passerby A, and passerby A could at least show her face, this is a monster, she wants to paint her face.

Yang Fan is very depressed, this story is very good, it will definitely succeed, but she can only play a role that can't show her face, she wants to cry a little: "You bully people!" ”

Cheng Peng shook his head helplessly: "I can only play a monster myself, this monster you play is the wife of the monster I played, how can I bully people?" Fox, if you had called earlier, you could try the role of Wang Luodan, but now that the role has been decided, and her image and temperament are very suitable, I can't replace her. Now there is only this role, if you don't want to, then wait for next time, there will be a chance to cooperate in the future! ”

Yang Fan thought to himself, I refused last time, this time you let me play this kind of role, if I refuse this time, there will definitely be no next time, gritted his teeth, and said: "I didn't say I didn't want to, I'll play!" ”;
