Chapter 53: Sledgehammer, Good Luck
(There was a power outage in the morning, sad urging)
The next morning, Wang Xu hurried to finish filming the advertisement endorsed by Lan Xiang, handed over all the follow-up work to the beast, and then he was going to take the afternoon plane to Beijing to prepare for the audition of "Let the Bullets Fly".
In 2o1O, the domestic film and television industry has made Wang Xu recall the most impressive, and the most disturbing movements are three films, one is the Hollywood 3D blockbuster "Avatar" swept the world, the second is Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" New Year stalls staged the box office and word-of-mouth flying, and the third is Zhang Yimou's "Thirteen Hairpins" beauties gathered, and Batman was invited.
"Let the Bullets Fly" is Jiang Wen's first commercial film, and now only Wang Xu knows very well what kind of unprecedented success this film will achieve. For an actor, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to participate in a high-box office movie with a big director, a big star, a big investment and a good get, especially for a newcomer like Wang Xu, who needs this qualification.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, at the gate of Lanxiang Technical School, the three of them, called the beast, Zimo, and Kong Lianshun to bid farewell to Wang Xu.
"Sledgehammer, good luck, I have to learn to be strong when I'm not by your side, come back and stuff it if it's a big deal!"
"Sledgehammer, come on, don't come back early!"
"Sledgehammer, you misunderstood that the three of us don't look down on you, but really look down on you!"
"I'm going to break up with the three of you, and I'm not going to make friends!"
Wang Xu sighed and got into the car and left, and at this time, Zimo said to the screaming beast: "I heard that Director Jiang Wen's domineering side leakage has high requirements for actors, do you say that Sledgehammer can succeed in this audition?" ”
"I can't say it either, but I'm still confident in Sledgehammer, and we've been with him for so long and we know he's a man who can do miracles and surprise you, what do you say?" ”
"That's right, but he only has three days to prepare, and it's very suspenseful, but I haven't even memorized the script lines in three days, Sledgehammer, this brother really wants to wish you good luck!"
The three of them watched Wang Xu's car in the distance, and did not return to school until it was gone. At the same time, Wang Xu was also a little apprehensive in his heart, he was not completely sure that he would be able to audition, if it was another play or another director with his current fame, it would not be difficult to get a role, but "Let the Bullets Fly" was full of big names, Ge You, Zhou Run, and Jiang Wen The three top movie stars covered all the light of others, what is his Wang Dazhu's fame in front of these three people!
Speaking of director Jiang Wen, he is a leading director in China, a leading actor, and a national treasure-level artist, and later like his new film "One Step Away", some netizens ridiculed him for being one step away from the master.
In 1987, Jiang Wen won the Best Actor Award at the 1O Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards for his performance in the movie "Furong Town". In 1988, he starred in the movie "Red Sorghum" and won the Golden Bear Award at the 38th Berlin International Film Festival. In 1994, he won the Best Actor at the 12th China TV Golden Eagle Awards for the TV series "Beijingers in New York".
As a director, Jiang Wen also received more recognition, and his self-written and directed work "Sunny Day" was rated as one of the "Top Ten Best Movies in the World in the Ninth Five-Year Plan" by Time Magazine; The Anti-Japanese War film "The Devil is Coming" won the Grand Jury Prize at the 53rd Cannes International Film Festival in 2ooo;
Jiang Wen gave Wang Xu the impression that he was a maverick, buried in the movie, focusing on artistic creation, and ignoring the hustle and bustle outside the window; Jiang Wen is a tough guy with a full personality and domineering appearance. He was originally an "insider", but in addition to having works come out, he was almost in a very foreign state from the TV media.
In the time and space of the earth, Wang Xu has heard people in the circle say that Jiang Wen is the most "difficult" bone for reporters in the entertainment industry, and very few people can interview him by phone, and Jiang Wen can often choke people to death with words.
This time, Wang Xu wants to audition in front of such a big name who even throws his face at the uncrowned king and is domineering, and it is difficult to get the affirmation of this master.
Three days have passed, and during these three days, Wang Xu stayed in the hotel without leaving home, and has been recalling and researching "Let the Bullets Fly" over and over again. He also made a pair of bandit masks, and figured out in the mirror over and over again.
Wang Xuxiang's characters are the second, third, sixth, and seventh of the seven brothers of the bandits. These roles are all supporting roles with heavy roles, and they are also easy to shine, and the most important thing is that they have not yet set actors, so he has a great chance, and the directors of other roles have already been decided, such as the role of Hu Wan, the close confidant of Huang Shilang (Zhou Yan), whom he actually likes, has long been played by Chen Kun.
After clarifying the goal, he did not waste time studying the director's personality and previous works, Wang Xu clearly knew that his biggest advantage was foresight, and he had watched more than once and even studied "Let the Bullets Fly", so he didn't need to take any detours to imitate directly.
That's why he decided to go to the audition despite only three days of hasty preparation.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, Wang Xu took his agent Fang Xiaoyan and female assistant Xiao Ruan to rent a silver BMW from the hotel and drive to a horse farm on the outskirts of Yanjing.
This time, the audition will first test the equestrian skills, and those who can't ride a horse will be eliminated first, and then it will be their turn to audition. After getting into the car, Fang Xiaoyan was a little worried about Wang Xu's equestrianism, and couldn't help asking: "Sledgehammer, is it true that you said yesterday that you can ride a horse?" ”
Wang Xu said confidently: "It's true, I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I'll have no problem with the equestrian level." ”
Fang Xiaoyan didn't know that Wang Xu had three years of experience as an actor, not to mention that he was very proficient in the basic skills of riding horses, dancing swords, guns, and hanging Weiya, at least he was able to get by.
"It's good if you think there is no problem, and I want to remind you that Director Jiang Wen's temper is very explosive, and he doesn't give face when he scolds people, you have to be mentally prepared, and if you can bear it, don't conflict with the director."
"I know." Wang Xu didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact, he was a little drumming in his heart. Jiang Wen is notoriously domineering, he can only warn himself to keep a low profile, don't mess with this uncle. He also hopes that the big director is just hot-tempered, not the kind of villain, or arrogant and domineering, or he is really difficult to get along with.
There are still many difficult people in the entertainment industry, but Wang Xu soon saw one, who was short-tempered, stubborn, and dragged very much, actor Zhang Guoli's son Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo also went to audition, he drove a million-dollar Chevrolet pickup, but did not hang the vehicle number plate, and was stopped by the patrolling traffic police at an intersection under the national highway.
At that time, Wang Xu's car was also blocked and he couldn't get through, and he kept sitting in the car to watch Zhang Mo quarrel with the traffic police. Wang Xu couldn't hear what they were arguing about, only saw Zhang Mo and one of his male assistants dancing with their teeth and claws, pointing their noses and scolding the traffic policeman, and there was a female assistant next to him who was filming with a mobile phone, anyway, he almost didn't hit anyone, and finally his male assistant threw a few red tickets on the ground, and the three of them got into the car and left angrily.
Wang Xu's car followed the Chevrolet pickup truck to the destination racecourse.
As soon as Wang Xu and Zhuang Xiaoyan got out of the car, they saw Zhang Mo and two assistants walking past them with two bags.
Fang Xiaoyan greeted with a smile: "Zhang Mo, hello!" ”
Wang Xu didn't like this guy, not to mention that he saw this guy driving illegally and playing tricks on the traffic police, so he greeted Lai, and just smiled out of politeness.
And Zhang Mo ignored Zhuang Xiaoyan's greeting, he recognized who Wang Xu was, only looked at him twice, and walked over coldly.
Unfortunately, at this time, Wang Xu's female assistant Xiao Ruan had just gotten out of the car and was rubbed by the bag in Zhang Mo's female assistant's hand, Xiao Ruan was rubbed and shaken, and the bag in his hand fell to the ground.
Of course, being rubbed is a trivial matter, the problem is that Zhang Mo's female assistant glanced at it, and left without saying a word of sorry, and when Xiao Ruan picked up the bag and reacted, everyone walked several meters away.
Xiao Ruan was angry and was about to be stopped by Zhuang Xiaoyan, seeing Zhang Mo and the others walking away, Xiao Ruan said: "It's really not a vegetarian at all, what kind of big name is in front of our family's hammer, isn't it just a second-generation star who looks like a person with a father wiping his ass." ”
"Don't be angry, this kind of person hates us ignoring him, this guy is an addict, we'd better stay away from him."
Wang Xu said a word, didn't take this kind of trivial matter to heart, and then took the two of them to the racecourse to meet the director.
