Chapter 40: The Deceased
"Miss Ye, I can be regarded as seeing you!"
As soon as he stepped into the room, a deep voice rang out, with a deep smile.
Ye Ran looked up, the expression on his face couldn't help but pause, but he quickly returned to his original state, hooked the corners of his lips, and showed a shallow smile, "Director Zhang, I'm also very happy to meet you." ”
Zhang Xiaodong is the chief director of "The Wind Rises in Chang'an", aged about forty, and he is also well-known in China, and has directed many famous movies and TV series. Numerous awards.
However, in terms of image, Ye Ran looked at the bearded man in front of him, the shirt on his body was wrinkled, and he was wearing a black hat, the whole person looked a little sloppy, but his eyes were bright and scary.
"Miss Ye, I've seen the films you made abroad. Your acting skills are good, hope we can work together. ”
Zhang Xiaodong is not polite and goes straight to the point. Then he motioned to the assistant on the side to bring a folder over.
"This is the scene where we will audition later, you familiarize yourself with the script first, and we will start in half an hour."
Ye Ran nodded when she heard this, reached out and took the blue folder, looked around, and sat down on the sofa in the room, Qianqian followed her.
Open the script and go through it carefully.
The scene where she needs to audition later is a scene where the male protagonist discovers that the heroine turns out to be a spy sent by another country, and the two confront each other.
There are not many lines in it, focusing on the expression of the characters' emotions, because the heroine loves the male protagonist in her heart, but because of her own mission. Therefore, these two emotions are entangled together, and they are extremely contradictory and complex.
Zhang Xiaodong fiddled with the camera in front of him, and glanced at Ye Dye not far away, and a trace of appreciation crossed his eyes.
Until the start of filming of this drama, no suitable actors have been found, which shows that the requirements are high. But since watching the scenes that Ye Ran Ran had filmed abroad, he had an inexplicable premonition in his heart, if it was that woman, it should be okay, right?
So with this in mind, I sent out an invitation to audition. Even if I can't see anything yet, at least this professional attitude deserves respect.
Half an hour passed quickly, Ye Ran closed the script in his hand, there was a burst of pain in the neck area, he closed his eyes, and those lines flashed in his mind. I had a good idea of how to perform, so I got up from the sofa.
"Miss Ye, is it okay?"
Sensing the movement here, Zhang Xiaodong immediately opened his mouth and asked, looking a little eager to try, with a strong expectation.
Ye Ran nodded slightly, handed the script to Qianqian on the side, and then walked under the camera.
The room is large, with auditions in the middle and a variety of machines around it. Including the chief director, there are a total of five staff members, all of whom are staring at her.
Qianqian looked at the slender figure walking past step by step, the hand holding the folder unconsciously forced, pursed her lips, and felt a little nervous.
This is the first play, so there must be no mistakes.
As soon as he stood under the camera, Ye Ranran's momentum changed, as if he had completely changed people. In those bright eyes, with a faint light of water, the emotions are extremely complicated, love and sadness...
Zhang Xiaodong, who was standing behind the machine, had his eyes lit up, and instantly burst out with a look of surprise, staring closely at the woman in the camera.
The audition process is short, about five or six minutes. After finishing the last line, Ye Ran kept looking up at his head and lowered it, and the breath exuded from his body was dead and silent.
"Bang Bang!"
Then there was warm applause, Zhang Xiaodong took the lead in walking out from behind the camera, and stretched out his hand to Ye Ranran, who had already stood up, even though his face was full of beard, he still couldn't hide his happy mood, "Miss Ye, happy cooperation!" ”
That's what he said.
Ye Ran blinked, then reacted, bent his eyebrows, held the hand in front of him, and replied with a smile, "Happy cooperation." ”
Just this five- or six-minute audition, the problem that had plagued the entire crew for nearly a month was solved.
Ye Ranran and Zhang Xiaodong left the room first, and some other matters will be negotiated by Qianqian and the relevant personnel of the crew.
"You came just in time today, and I'll introduce you to a few leading actors."
Zhang Xiaodong said as he walked, the smile on his face never fell, and he was obviously extremely satisfied with the women around him.
The room where he left the audition was the filming location that Ye Dye saw before, and at this time it was in the middle of filming, and a room of people in black was fighting. So the two waited on the side for a while, and waited until the scene was over before they stepped forward.
"Lorraine, come here!"
Zhang Xiaodong beckoned to the young man standing in the middle, and when the other party heard this, he turned his head to look at it, his eyes fell on Ye Ranran's body, and the corners of his lips were slightly imperceptible, and he strode over.
"What's the matter with the director?"
The voice is like his person, gentle as a spring breeze.
And in Ye Ranran's eyes, the face that was gradually blurring in his mind gradually became clearer, and it coincided with the young man in front of him.
It's like a little bit out of time.
"This is our heroine, Miss Ye Ran Ye, to introduce you to you."
Zhang Xiaodong stretched out his hand and patted Lorraine's shoulder, then turned his head to look at the woman next to him, and spoke heartily.
The smile on Lorraine's face deepened, with a sense of gentleness, his eyes flashed with unknown emotions, and he stretched out his hand towards Ye Ranran, "It's been a long time." ”
He just uttered such a sentence.
Ye Ranran's gaze fell from his face to the palm in front of him, hooked his lips, stretched out his hand, and held it together.
"yes, long time no see."
There was a hint of nostalgia in the smile.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhang Xiaodong felt quite surprised, and when he learned about the origin, he sighed with emotion The wonder of fate.
Indeed, five years ago, the first drama Ye Ranran filmed was to cooperate with Lorraine, and the first drama he returned to five years later was still with Lorraine.
What is this not fate?
"Okay, let's have a good chat! I have a few other things. ”
After Zhang Xiaodong dropped this sentence, he turned around and left.
Ye Ran and Lorraine glanced at each other, couldn't help but smile, and then the two of them found a place with few people and sat down.
"Dyeing, I've watched all the movies you made abroad, and your acting skills are getting better and better."
Lorraine's gaze fell on the side face of the woman beside her, and the delicate complexion like white porcelain could not see the pores at all, as if there was a layer of radiant light. There was a bit of obsession in his eyes, but he hid it well, and when Ye Ran turned his head, he hooked his lips and smiled.
"After all, five years have passed, and if I haven't grown at all, wouldn't it seem that I'm too incompetent?"
chuckled, with a bit of a joke.
Five years ago, she and Lorraine were just ordinary friends. The relationship is not very good, but after all, he can be regarded as an acquaintance in the entertainment industry.
The two chatted like this, talking about some interesting things they had encountered during filming in the past five years, and when Qianqian came out, what they saw was Ye Ranran's smiling and flower-like appearance, and they couldn't help but be stunned, their eyes fell on Lorraine next to them, and they subconsciously frowned, but the look on their faces was silent. Strode over.
"Dye, it's already okay, let's go."
He nodded to Lorraine, saying hello.
"Is it going to be negotiated so soon?"
Ye Ran glanced up at the document she was holding in Qianqian's arms, then stood up and walked to her side, her eyes fell on the young man who also stood up, and the smile on her face did not decrease, "When we join the crew, let's have a good chat." ”
With a hint of appreciation in his eyes, it is undeniable that Lorraine's gentleness is easy to relax, and after this conversation, the estrangement and strangeness brought about by the past five years have almost disappeared.
"Are you leaving so soon?" Lorraine frowned, feeling a little lost, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up slightly, and he grabbed Ye Ranran's wrist, "I've almost finished filming today's scene, and the rest can be made up tomorrow." It's a rare opportunity to have this opportunity, so I'll treat you to a meal. ”
Without waiting for her to react, Lorraine turned around and found her assistant, and walked back after a few words.
Ye Ran glanced at Qianqian beside her, she didn't understand the meaning in the latter's eyes, but at this juncture, it was not the time to ask.
"You're too fast, aren't you? I haven't even said yes yet! ”
Looking at Lorraine who came over, Ye Dye raised his eyebrows and complained.
But the other party didn't seem to care, "Even if you don't agree, I'll take a day off for myself." ”
The group walked towards the back door, and the words from the front door were too dangerous, not only were there fans of various families, but there were also many reporters and paparazzi.
"Qianqian, you go back first."
While waiting, Ye Ran looked at her agent, glanced at the information in her arms again, and knew that the follow-up matters were still a little unfinished.
The woman beside her was obviously hesitant, frowned slightly, looked at the unsuspecting Ye Ranran, and then looked at Lorraine who was standing not far away. Obviously didn't want to just leave.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the dye. There won't be any scandals. ”
Seeing this, Lorraine's mind changed, and he took the initiative to promise, and the seriousness in his eyes was obvious.
After being silent for a while, Qianqian sighed silently, glanced at Ye Ranran, and finally nodded in agreement.
"Then you two pay attention, and come back as soon as you're done eating."
After repeating the instructions, he walked towards the front door.
