Chapter 27: Hearing the Strings and Knowing the Sound
Everyone was surprised.
No one expected Mr. Jin Yong to say such a thing.
You must know that a person of fame will not praise people easily.
A few years ago, when Liu Yifei played Wang Yuyan of Tianlong Babu, he was recognized by Mr. Jin.
Mr. said to Liu Yifei: "If it weren't for you to play Wang Yuyan, tens of millions of viewers would say that Jin Yong is talking nonsense, and after you act, everyone will know that there is really such a beauty in the world." ”
And also gave her an autographed book, which was written with similar words.
This caused quite a stir at the time.
So what he says now is equivalent to the affirmation of Cao Mengde!
Of course, Cao Mengde was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I'm just talking nonsense, please don't mind......"
Jin Yong didn't say anything more, but turned to Zhang Jizhong and said: "Director Zhang, about the novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes, I suddenly got some new ideas, is there a place here, I want to start working,
I won't eat this meal at noon, sorry. ”
Zhang Jizhong hurriedly said: "You are too polite, there is a suite upstairs, but it is a little simple." ”
"It's okay, let's go up."
Zhang Jizhong took Jin Yong to leave, and everyone said goodbye to him,
When he walked to the door, Jin Yong glanced back at Cao Mengde, nodded, and left without saying anything.
Cao Mengde doesn't know how he acted, and he doesn't know what the impression he left on the creators.
couldn't help but set his eyes on Yu Min.
Yu Min understood, so he said to him: "You go back and wait first, we will discuss it with Director Zhang again, and we will notify you when there is news." ”
"Alright then......"
When I walked out of the conference room door, I saw that the five auditioners were still waiting there, so I chatted with them.
They asked Cao Mengde why it took so long to come out, and he said that he was acting, and that he understood the characters......
Can the audition take so long?
Several of them looked incredulous.
Cao Mengde didn't bother to explain to them.
"Mengde, Mengde! What do you think? Did you take it down? ”
At the door of the hotel, Huang Jianhua, who was waiting anxiously, saw him come out and hurriedly hugged him.
"Lao Huang, why are you here? Didn't go to the set today? ”
"I went, but the director and assistant director were not there, and there were only a few executive directors there to shoot some inconsequential shots, so I took the opportunity to slip away......
I've been waiting for you here for a long time, how about it, has the character been taken down? ”
"Where is it so easy......"
Cao Mengde said helplessly: "A few buddies who auditioned, good guys, when I asked, I found out that they were all from professional classes and had acted in movies and TV series.
I have been a TV host and a film school teacher, and compared to them, I almost wanted to run away on the spot! ”
"The character?"
Cao Mengde spread his hands and said, "Let me wait for the ...... notification."
Huang Jianhua's heart began to sink, waiting for the notification......
Some bastard companies like to "wait for notice" to entertain people......
And these three words often mean that they are often passed.
However, he still encouraged: "As long as you don't settle on someone, you still have a chance, don't give up, don't give up, maybe the peak will turn ...... turn."
"I hope so......"
"Have you had lunch? I've been waiting for you, and I didn't get the crew's box lunch. ”
"No, you said that such a big crew doesn't even care about food, so I'm also an audition actor......"
"Sensei complained, be careful to be heard, go, I'll invite you to eat."
At noon, Zhang Jizhong asked the hotel to deliver the ordered meal to Jin Yong's room.
Knowing that he didn't want to be disturbed, he didn't go in to attract suspicion.
After a brief meal with director Yu Min and the two assistant directors, they sat in the conference room and discussed.
Putting a few resumes in his hand on the table, Zhang Jizhong said: "Let's talk about it, how are these people acting, and which one is the best." ”
Seeing that a few people didn't speak, he said again: "What's the matter, you haven't eaten enough?" Several of their audition actors are still waiting in the hotel, and they can't make the family wait too long.
There must be a result today, don't delay your efforts, hurry up and shoot in the afternoon after you are busy. ”
An assistant director said: "Director Zhang, I think it depends on how we shoot, if we still shoot as before, either the role of Zhen Zhibing is obscene and scolded by everyone.
is either mediocre and decent, although it is not as hated as Li Ruotong's version, but it is ...... It's not a brilliant ......."
"If it was said by Cao Mengde, the character would stand up, a piece of infatuation, affection and righteousness, although there is a fault, but there is also integrity, and the scolding may be much smaller......"
Zhang Jizhong nodded and said to Yu Min: "Lao Yu, what do you say, you are the director, what are you going to shoot this Zhen Zhibing?" ”
Yu Min drank the tea leaves in the thermos cup and said with a smile: "I just have to film, and I still have to guide you to make up your mind." ”
"Slippery head!"
Zhang Jizhong scolded with a smile, and said in a summary manner: "Now it is very clear, either the shooting is obscene and hateful, or it is decent, or it is subversive, which one do you say?" ”
Seeing that the others didn't speak, assistant director Zhao Jian said: "I have filmed it before that I am hated and decent, so if you want me to say it, it is better to do it!"
Maybe there can really be an unexpected gain, but I don't know if Mr. Jin Yong is against it or not......"
Zhang Jizhong gave them a reassurance: "Don't worry, he will definitely not object to ......"
After a few more discussions, the final decision was made, and it was done as I said today.
Assistant director Zhao Jian asked: "What about the actor, do you use that guy, or do you change someone?" ”
The idea of the character was put forward by Cao Mengde, and the analysis was reasonable and well-founded, which was extremely convincing.
If under normal circumstances, who understands it thoroughly and plays it well, then this role will definitely fall to him.
Just for Cao Mengde...... Zhao Jian didn't dare to say it.
After all, his qualifications are too shallow......
To put it bluntly, there is no qualifications at all!
Although the other few auditions are unknown actors and are not famous,
But after all, it is much stronger than Cao Mengde.
But this person was recommended by director Yu Min and was recognized by Jin Yong......
Seeing that everyone fell into silence again, Zhang Jizhong understood in his heart.
So he said: "Then let's do it, let that Cao ...... Cao Mengde tried acting, if his acting skills were okay, let him continue acting, if he could only play lip service, then give him some money to get out. ”
Seeing that the producer made a final decision, everyone was also relieved.
In fact, after working together for so long, they can see that Zhang Jizhong is reluctant to let Cao Mengde play.
After all, in front of Old Man Jin today, the guy almost made the bearded man's face fall to the ground......
As for Zhang Jizhong, he doesn't hate Cao Mengde, but he definitely doesn't like it!
But he acted really well, and his portrayal of the characters was good enough,
Besides, he has been praised by the old man Jin Yong, although Jin Yong did not interfere in the casting,
You can hear the strings and know the elegant sound......
He can't afford to play a small role and save the old man's face......
