Mr. Mei looked kind and kind, and he was a kind old man. He said to Yang Lin: "I know you, my granddaughter often whispers your name in my ear, if you don't know, you can't." He smiled, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.

Yang Lin was a little surprised, he didn't expect to know himself, he said a little sincerely: "Old Mei, you sit down first." He put his arm around Mr. Mei and sat on the upper seat.

Chen Kaige looked a little chubby, and the fat on his stomach held up his clothes. He looked at Yang Lin, and then compared him with the characters in his mind, and came to a conclusion.

"Director Chen, I'm Yang Lin, what I want to win today is the role of Mr. Mei Lanfang." After briefly introducing himself, he said straight to the point, and his open-minded attitude aroused the favor of the two.

The audition for the role is Chen Kaige's responsibility, so Mr. Mei didn't say anything, just looked at Yang Lin with a smile, waiting for Chen Kaige to speak.

"You look good, and you fit the image of the old gentleman in his youth. But you have to know that it doesn't just look like it works, not to mention dozens in the entertainment industry, at least a dozen male stars look alike after makeup. Can you tell us about your strengths? Returning to his own business, a strong momentum emerged from Chen Kaige's body, suppressing Yang Lin.

This is a real big director, with the demeanor of a director, not as easy to talk as Ang Lee, he is famous for his fiery temper. Yang Lin restrained his mind for a moment, trying to recall the words he had thought of a long time ago.

"Actually, I don't just want to play Mr. Mei when I was young, if possible, I want to get rid of Mr. Mei in all stages when I was a child."

The words were amazing, and even Mr. Mei, who was very well-cultivated, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and looked at him with considerable interest, wanting to hear the following text. He thought to himself: how could this young man, who didn't look like an impulsive and arrogant person, say such a thing? Only by separating this role and letting three actors perform it can the characteristics of each age stage be performed.

Chen Kaige was interested, he leaned forward slightly, wanting to hear where Yang Lin got his confidence, and he actually wanted to take down such a legendary life as Mei Lanfang and let himself act. There was a hint of excitement in his small eyes, Chen Kaige was not a superficial person, he could see that Yang Lin was relying on something.

After seeing that the interest of both of them was attracted to him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then said confidently: "Let's not talk about whether I can act." I believe both of them know very well what it will be like for two people to play the leading role in a movie. Let me share my personal opinion. ”

He paused, and then glanced at Chen Kaige, Yang Lin did not flinch, which made Chen Kaige quite surprised.

"I'm just an audience, if a 120-minute movie shows the actors of Mr. Mei Lanfang's three ages, I will definitely have a sense of complexity and be a little unable to enter the play. I finally got used to one, but I became another person. The audience must be uncomfortable to watch. And if an actor can experience Mr. Mei Lanfang's whole life, I believe this will be a big breakthrough in his acting skills, and he will go to the next level in playing the role. ”

"We have all thought of what you said, but there is no way to do it, Mr. Mei Lanfang in the movie is from his teens to his forties and fifties, this age span is so big, no actor can take it down." Chen Kaige said euphemistically, he was a little disappointed in his heart, his expectations were disappointed, and he thought that Yang Lin could have any profound insights.

"No, no, no." Yang Lin shook his head, then suppressed his smile. "Actually, I think I'm such an actor, and now I have no problem playing the role of youth, right?" He is not at all modest now, this is the time to sell himself, and he can't pay attention to any modesty at all, and completely interweave his strength.

"That's right, your image is very suitable for Mr. May's youth." Chen Kaige did not deny this, he had also thought about finding Yang Lin to play Mei Lanfang in his youth, otherwise he would not have handed over the script to him.

After hearing Chen Kaige's admission, Yang Lin's smile deepened. "It's no problem that today's makeup technology will make me dozens of years older, right? This makeup problem is not a problem, acting is. Mr. Mei Lanfang is a modest and gentle gentleman, he is just mature and stable in middle age, at most there is a trace of vicissitudes, as well as arrogance, or a steel backbone. ”

Chen Kaige frowned, he didn't like to let others control the rhythm of the conversation, and Yang Lin's words were worthless and dispensable. He waved his hand: "Why do you have the confidence to play Mr. Mei in middle age?" Or will you give us a paragraph now? ”

Yang Lin was only in his thirties in his last life, and he was still in his prime of life, and he was still some distance from middle age. But Yang Lin's best thing is to play roles that exceed his age. You don't see that in "No Thieves in the World", Yang Lin challenged the 40-year-old undercover police officer at the age of 20, and was recognized by many judges, winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination, and some other important awards.

Without much to say, Yang Lin knew that now was the time to show himself. His gaze quickly became vicissitudes, with a kind of open-mindedness to see the clouds rolling all over the sky, and a warmth like a spring breeze. This is a complicated look, Chen Kaige looked a little stupid. Even if Yang Lin didn't wear makeup, his eyes were enough to make people believe that he was a middle-aged man.

Middle-aged people without stories and accumulation can't do this kind of look. In order to figure out this look, Yang Lin did not hesitate to spend 200 points to redeem a special guidance on acting, specifically teaching how to make the eyes more expressive and let the eyes speak!

Chen Kaige hadn't spoken yet, but Mr. Mei, who was sitting quietly, spoke, and he pointed at Yang Lin tremblingly and said, "Very good, this look is very similar." But you still lack something, the vicissitudes of life are not enough, and there is a calm state of mind, and a calm attitude is also indispensable. There is a lack of firmness and confidence in your eyes. My father's eyes were always very gentle, and generally pure. You may want to be complicated, pay attention to the complex! Mr. Mei, who is old and experienced in life, quickly discovered Yang Lin's advantages, and then saw his hidden shortcomings.

"That's not enough. The key is to look at the makeup photos. Got a timecode tomorrow? Come to the studio to take a makeup photo to see if you are suitable for middle-aged, and then test your real acting skills by the way. "Chen Kaige is a cautious person, it is impossible to decide to use Yang Lin because of a look and a little performance.

This is a literary film, not the best, but the most suitable.

"Absolutely." Yang Lin was waiting for Chen Kaige's words, and he didn't expect to be able to impress Chen Kaige with a few words and a little improvisation, so he mixed up a quota first.

Chen Kaige suddenly thought of something, and he said to Yang Lin: "This is a literary film, but I am going to use the technique of a commercial film to promote it." That's where your cooperation comes in. You don't want to spread the news of the audition, I want the media to focus on Dawn, and if you don't win the role, then the media is prescient. If you grab this role, then it's a complete dark horse. Anyway, I hope you can understand me. ”

Mr. Mei's face was a little bad, after all, no one wanted to use his father as a tool to collect money.

"Mr. Mei, on behalf of the crew of "Mei Lanfang", I officially hired you as the artistic consultant of the crew, if there are any inaccuracies in our script or some information, please correct it." Chen Kaige suddenly said to the old gentleman seriously.

Maybe he had thought about it a long time ago, but Mr. Mei didn't look a little surprised, and seemed to have already passed his anger. He nodded, and then said, "I will try to give you a copy of some photos or audio-visual materials for your reference." When filming, some of our family's drapes can also be borrowed from you, but you must take good care of them, they are all priceless. ”

Yang Lin seemed to have become a transparent person, he looked at Chen Kaige and Mr. Mei in the move, and he didn't dare or want to step in.

After the party, Yang Lin and the young woman helped Mr. Mei up, on crutches, and Mr. Mei smiled at Yang Lin with satisfaction: "Young man, I am very optimistic about you." You're going to be able to win this role, and my father isn't just anyone who can play it. A smile was written on his wrinkled face.

As if the person who was unruly and confident just now was not Yang Lin, he looked quite shy now, and when he was praised by someone, he smiled stiffly, and he didn't even show his teeth.

Chen Kaige walked to the old gentleman in a few steps, and then said to Yang Lin: "Tomorrow's makeup, I hope to see a brand new you, don't let us down." ”

After sending these people away, Yang Lin returned to his true nature, and then yelled in this box, at least the first step had been steady.

Being able to get the praise of Mei Lanfang's son, Yang Lin felt that he had already achieved half of the success, so let's see what the final makeup will be.
