Chapter 159: It Belongs to Him

Ji Yuanyuan, a first-line actress in the mainland, was born in an ordinary intellectual family in Beijing, in 2000, when she was still in high school, she was discovered by an advertising company while shopping in Tianfu Square, and filmed her first advertisement. In 2001, because of her innocent image of a high school girl, she was favored by director Zhang Yang and took over the filming of the movie "Youth Love".

The 2004 International Olympics was held, and this year was also a turning point in Ji Yuanyuan's acting career. During the Olympic Games, she became popular all over the country with a "kissing lozenge" advertisement, and was affectionately called "kissing girl". In the same year, she was shortlisted for the competition unit of the 54th Berlin Film Festival with the movie "Flower Season Bicycle".

In 2006, she starred in a costume drama for the first time, which made people familiar with this woman in fluttering clothes, and her ancient costume was so beautiful that it was heartwarming, so she also had the title of a peerless beauty in ancient costumes. In 2007, she was awarded the title of the first "Miss Lily" in China. She has always been active in the fashion industry and is a frequent visitor to the covers of major magazines.

Bixia could never have imagined that she would come to the audition. Ji Yuanyuan's career as an actor did not apply for a professional art school like other mainland actresses, but studied in an ordinary university. During college, he briefly starred in some movies and TV series, and was known as the innocent and simple girl next door.

Bi Xia and Wenbo glanced at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. The actresses who came to audition before were not first-line actresses, they were all women who became famous overnight in major economic companies, and their acting skills did not meet the standards of the two at all, and to be honest, they were a little disappointed.

Ji Yuanyuan was the first first-line actress to audition this morning, although the morning audition was only an hour later.

Seeing Wenbo's gesture, Bi Xia nodded his head to show understanding. He turned his head and said, "Hello Miss Ji, it's a pleasure to meet you." For the role you auditioned for, I believe you have already got the information, let's not say much about the rest, please perform it. The plot of being suddenly hijacked on the way to work and taken to an uninhabited wilderness warehouse. ”

This shot is the heroine's shot shortly after the movie starts, it can be said that this shot is one of the most important shots in the movie, and whether this shot is good or not will directly affect whether the heroine's role can substitute the audience into the play. This plot is actually difficult to perform, because there is no dialogue in this plot, and although the heroine is simple in her heart, she has a lot of requirements for micro-expressions.

Ji Yuanyuan was not surprised by Bi Xia's straightforward entry, a filmmaker should look like a filmmaker, and it would be abnormal if the two of them talked to her too much. Ji Yuanyuan thought about it and started to perform.

Her body trembled slightly, "Ahhhhh Ah", these cries were not made casually, but with a hint of trembling, and there was a cautiously suppressed component. She held her head in her hands and sobbed, her supple hair tousled.

"Good!" Bi Xia was the first to slap the table, and the performance was very exciting. In my memory, this drama is starring Big S, maybe the organizer is taking into account the box office of Treasure Island. Da S is not a professional actor after all, and she performed very well in this play. But it's just good, and there is a clear gap with the original work of this play, the heroine of the American movie "A Glimmer of Life", Kim Besinger.

This gap is not elsewhere, it is expressed in the details. For example, the previous episode. What do you want to express? In fact, it is to express a kind of fear, but there are many kinds of fear, for example, the heroine is hesitant at this time, because the robber does not tell her for any reason. She didn't know the purpose of the robbers, she didn't know how the robbers would treat her, whether they killed her or raped her? So she cried. The crying was very suppressive, because she would be afraid that her excessively strong movements would irritate the robbers, and that it would be better for a second to delay the disaster, which was the instinct of human nature.

Many actors are talking about acting, what is acting, this is acting! Acting and acting, the play must be real, and only when it is real can it be called acting.

Ji Yuanyuan has not attended a commissioner acting school, her acting skills have always been criticized, and she has been difficult to break through the image of the girl next door that she relied on to become famous in the past few years. Over the years, as she got older, she gradually began to transform, and took on a number of films with exquisite acting skills, the most rare of which is a movie about the Nanjing Massacre "Nanjing", which has been well received.

If you want to find an actress with the acting skills of the big S in your memory, there are many actresses in the entertainment industry, even if you bring the box office considerations, there are many actresses who can be screened, but Bi Xia is unwilling, he wants to challenge the prototype of this film "First-line Sound Machine", he wants to keep improving.

Then Bi Xia and Wenbo asked Ji Yuanyuan to perform a few other scenes, such as the part about making a phone call to Abang, to show eagerness, fear, worry, etc., in just a few sentences, to show from various aspects such as facial expressions and tone of speech.

As a result, Bi Xia and Wenbo were very satisfied, and the two glanced at each other, and both saw surprises in their respective eyes.

"Come on!" Wenbo made a gesture of please to Bi Xia.

"Let's talk about it, you're the director!" Bixia shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of please.

"Come on, this is your territory. Okay, don't shirk, don't make the lady wait too long. Wenbo said humorously.

"I'll go ......" Bi Xia heard this ambiguous sentence, helpless, okay, this is a common problem of men, and they always like to use women to tease their male friends.

"Miss Ji, hello, Xie Lu thank you for your performance, it's great, it's wonderful, I think I found the person I'm looking for, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Bixia stood up, showed his usual warm smile, and stretched out his hand.

"Really?!" Ji Yuanyuan was startled at first, and then shook hands with Bi Xia, who stepped forward. kept saying: "Xie Lu Xie, thank you so much!" ”

Looking at Ji Yuanyuan, who was a little carried away with joy, Bi Xia was a little distracted. Ji Yuanyuan in front of him is so beautiful, women in the entertainment industry can always leave a variety of impressions on people, some people are enthusiastic, some people are sexy, and some people look good in ancient costumes. And the word "beauty" is people's usual impression of Ji Yuanyuan, her beauty is not overwhelming, compared with many beautiful actresses, she is even a little bland, and it is this elegance that makes her show a unique temperament in the impetuous entertainment industry.

Some reporters and directors once said that her appearance was impeccable, that her facial features were the most beautiful in the entertainment industry, and that no matter which woman she was with, she was able to beat the other party by three points.

Except for physiognomy. Ji Yuanyuan is low-key, from 2000 to the present, fourteen years, except for a few relationships, she has no other scandals, and she is not like a star.

But the face is thin, and it is a woman like her. Ji Yuanyuan is one of the few women in the entertainment industry who has been longing for marriage, all her love is for the purpose of marriage, and the breakup is also because the man is unwilling to get married and separated. Even she was once rumored to be a third party and suffered from her boyfriend's split. All kinds of tragedies happened to this woman who yearns for true love, which is embarrassing.

"Bi Xia, Bi Xia?!" Ji Yuanyuan looked at Bi Xia, who was suddenly stunned, and called out softly.

"Oh, sorry, a little distracted. If you have something to do, go first, and we'll see you in Xiangjiang then! Bi Xia sent Ji Yuanyuan to the door and said.

"Okay, I'll see you then." Ji Yuanyuan was confused, what's going on with this Bi Xia? So strange. Suddenly, she was in a daze, and then she was sent away, but these thoughts were immediately run to the back of her mind, because today was a day to celebrate. She won the heroine of this highly anticipated film.

After completing the selection of the heroine, the work is half easier, and the morning audition is over, although it is not fair, there is no way. At noon, Bi Xia had dinner with Wenbo. The two talked about many ideas about film shooting and production.

Wenbo has been working as a director for more than ten years, has shot many films, and has rich experience. And Bi Xia, he has a memory and culture of the world in his mind, he studied directing, through reverse reasoning, and also mastered a lot of knowledge, these things are not important in terms of technology, because some of the skills in memory are also in reality, the important thing is some opinions, some flash of inspiration, these things are particularly precious.

Through the conversation at noon, Bi Xia benefited a lot, and Wenbo also had a good impression of this boy who was full of ideas and enthusiasm.

"By the way, has anyone chosen the villain Kidnapper in the play?" Wenbo asked.

"This ......" Bi Xia hesitated a little, because he really didn't have any idea about this candidate. Mainland actors are very distinctive, if you play some characters with a clear mainland crowd style, their performances are very good, and they are eye-catching, but if you let them play some obviously fictional characters, it will look very contrived and fake.

For example, if you let a mainland actor play the head of a mansion in the Republic of China, it is definitely very similar, but if you ask him to play an international financial predator, it will definitely make people vomit; For example, let them play urban white-collar youth, OK, no problem, but if they play Interpol, hehe, wait and see.

It's the same with actresses, playing urban independent women, no problem; Playing Gege and the queen is also great; plays the village girl, the absolute first in the world; But if you let them play the kind of modern aristocratic princess with a dreamlike color, hehe, it will turn out to be disgusting!

Bi Xia's conclusion is that if a mainland actor plays a character that is closely related to our own culture, there is no problem, but if he plays a character who is far away from our lives, needs to be cool and handsome, and needs a little dream, it will be awkward.

Just like Korean idol dramas are very popular in Asia, you let mainland actors play the same script, and you want to vomit when you see it. For example, the idol dramas on Treasure Island are also good, and they have also been filmed in the mainland, but as a result, they hit the street to death, not because of their bad acting skills, but because of different cultures, cultural differences, you are destined to be inferior to others in this regard.

Similarly, when filming palace fighting dramas, Xiangjiang can also be compared with the mainland, but Baodao is not at all; As for filming historical dramas, Xiangjiang is not an opponent in the mainland, which is the difference in regional culture that causes the difference between artists on both sides of the strait and the three places on the way to the opera. The director is like that, and so is the actor.

It's not a question of which local actor is better, it's a question of which region's actor is more suitable for which aspect of the play, that's all.

Just when he wanted to say that he didn't find it, Bi Xia suddenly thought of a person, and remembered that this person was still because of Ji Yuanyuan, because this person starred in the Anti-Japanese War drama "Nanjing" and played an iron-blooded tough guy.

Lin Muraye is not an idol actor in the mainland, he is not outstanding in appearance, at most he can only be said to be a little handsome, and he is not outstanding in the entertainment industry. But with such appearance, he has become one of the few powerful actors in the mainland who has been affirmed by Xiangjiang and Baodao and has a certain degree of recognition in the world.

In his early days, he appeared in a large number of literary films, and the art films he participated in have a good reputation in Europe, the United States and Japan, and have been shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards, the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival. Later, he starred in a number of TV series, was well-known by the audience, and became one of the well-known students in the mainland.

Lin Muraye won the 100 Stars Award for Best Actor very early, and he was dressed in a yellow robe. Over the years, he has been honing his acting skills, moving from literature and art to a commercial star, and his influence has gradually increased. Over the years, he has begun to try a variety of different characters, tough guys, mentally retarded, playboys, etc., and he is challenging his acting skills and acting paths.

suddenly thought of Lin Muraye, Bi Xia suddenly felt that he was very suitable, because thinking of Lin Muraye's information in his mind, Bi Xia suddenly found that he was very similar to Liu Ye, the villain of "Keep Talking", not a person, not a look, but experience, the same from literature and art to business, the same actor added, and the same constantly challenged the actor's own acting skills, the two have too many similarities, different Liu Ye has already played the villain, and Lin Muraye has not had a chance.

Mainland actors in China have the problem that they can't play cool and handsome characters, and they need characters with a bit of fantasy, and mainland actors also have this problem in their memory. And Liu Ye is undoubtedly the artist who can break through this point among mainland male actors in memory. He played the villain in the original version of "Keep Talking", which was a bit blunt at the time, but then he played the villain role in a movie "Police Story", and his acting skills were pure, very brilliant and surprising.

Thinking of this, Bi Xia believed that Lin Murano was okay, he was more talented and malleable than Liu Ye in his memory. His strong plasticity and talent for performance allow him to move between literature and business, feminine and tough, restrained and explosive. That's it! Bi Xia made up his mind, now that there is no one in Huaxia who can act, then he will train one!

"What? Still haven't found it yet? Wenbo saw that Bi Xia didn't speak for a long time and asked.

"No, I have a candidate, if there is anyone in our mainland who can play this role the most, I think he must be." Bixia said firmly.

"Oh, who is it?" Wenbo chatted with Bi Xia for a long time, and he also had an understanding of Bi Xia's writing, and he was very curious to be so valued by Bi Xia.

"It's hard to say now, I don't know if he has a schedule, I'll ask first, if so, meet him in the afternoon!" Bi Xia said with a smile.

"Good!" The two put down the topic and happily continued to discuss the topic of the movie. (To be continued......)
