China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 155 "Shoplifters" determines the role and gives Zhou Xun the choice
"Let's come back and see the head teacher."

Liu Yifei looked at Yang Mi and hesitated.

"Yes, let's see Teacher Wang Jinsong, and I also want to talk to Teacher Tian about something."

After Liu Yifei poked Guan Ling, Guan Ling responded in the same way.

"Oh. That's right." Yang Mi's eyes wandered around and she said casually, "I thought you, Director Guan, came to school to choose roles."

Guan Ling took a look at Yang Mi. He was indeed someone who would dare to bet against capital in the future.

This is quite thoughtful.

As soon as I guessed it, I guessed it right.

"Director Guan, if you have any roles, you must consider me." Yang Mi said with a smile, "I can play anything, and I can even do the dirty work in the crew."

"You said so." Guan Ling said with a smile, "When a suitable role comes up, you will definitely be indispensable."

Guan Ling didn't have any feelings for Yang Mi.

It was only a few years later that he became good-looking, and now among Nortel's actors, he is considered average.

"Then I'll thank Director Guan in advance."

Yang Mi came over excitedly and took Guan Ling's arm. Guan Ling felt a sense of flesh touching her head, and looked at the other person waving her hands and leaving, "I'm going to shoot a commercial, so I'll leave first. Director Guan , Sister Yifei, please contact us via QQ later."

The other party walked away in a hurry.

Guan Ling looked back and wondered what was this guy doing so happy?

But she didn't expect that Liu Yifei would quit after seeing this scene.

"I'm talking to Director Guan, isn't the junior sister pretty? Have you seen the little white skirt she's wearing? It's so short."

"She's just average." Guan Ling sounded the alarm, "She just put on makeup, like a ghostly charm. To be good-looking, it depends on your natural beauty."

Liu Yifei was obviously not ready to let Guan Ling go.

"Did your arms feel a little soft just now? When we last filmed "Meng Hua Lu", Mimi was quite quiet. Why, when I saw you this time, she seemed to have changed. She actually came over and took the initiative to hold my arm."

Guan Ling didn't expect Liu Yifei to be aggressive.

In fact, he didn't know why Yang Mi suddenly acted so affectionately. Could it be that she wanted to learn directing from me?

"Let's go quickly, Teacher Wang Jinsong is still waiting."

Quickly changing the topic, the two of them arrived at the office soon.

Open the door.

Huh.

Teachers from the directing department and the acting department stood in a row, waiting for Guan Ling.

"I heard that you are coming to discuss the role with us. Everyone is ready to come and take a look." Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled awkwardly, but there was no way.

Originally it was just a chat and joke in the office, but when I heard that Guan Ling came over to talk about the Palme d'Or book at next year's Cannes, no one in the directing department could sit still, and no one in the acting department could sit still.

Guan Ling even saw Huang Lei.

This guy was also sitting at the side with an upright attitude.

"I was shocked when I opened the door." Guan Ling was sweating on his forehead, feeling like he would be eaten alive by these people in front of him today.

"Stop talking, just take out the script and show it to us first." Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "Everyone wants to see what you want to do with the Palme d'Or. We have already talked about it with everyone just now. Everyone here today Everything is kept strictly confidential. The mobile phones are now placed in that box over there."

"You guys make me look like an underground party associate."

Guan Ling glanced at Liu Yifei, who was obviously frightened by these teachers. This was too scary.

Waiting for Guan Ling to hand over the script to everyone.

Guan Ling was squeezed into a corner.

and Liu Yifei looked at each other.

"It feels like I'm being beaten to death." Guan Ling smiled bitterly.

"It's not about feelings," Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh, "You asked me to take you back in such a hurry just to be left out here. You are not a donkey, who is a donkey."

"Then you are a female donkey."

Guan Ling's words confused Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was so angry that she didn't want to speak.

"I can't get in, I can't see the script," Huang Lei came over, "I asked Guan Ling, is there my role in it?"

"Teacher Huang, this really doesn't exist." Guan Ling thought for a while and realized that the role was not suitable.

"Aren't there any male characters?" Huang Lei still didn't give up.

This kind of opportunity was rare, and he really didn't want to let it go.

"It's just a male role, but you're really not suitable for it." Guan Ling said, "Your face is so handsome."

Why is his face so handsome? Huang Lei is about to cry but has no tears. He doesn't know whether to say thank you or cry somewhere else.

……

Teachers from the directing department and acting department have gathered around.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is in the middle.

He put on his reading glasses and looked at the script in his hand carefully.

There was a clattering sound as the pages turned over, and there was only the sound of turning pages.

While everyone was quiet over there, Guan Ling went over and poked Liu Yifei's little hand. Seeing that Liu Yifei couldn't make a sound, she could only roll her eyes and glare at Guan Ling.

This brought pleasure to Guan Ling, who kept poking and poking.

It seemed that Tian Zhuangzhuang had agreed with everyone before, so when he read the script, no one else dared to say anything.

Wait until you finish reading.

Tian Zhuangzhuang showed the script to others around him and were stunned.

No words came out for a while.

Seems to be digesting emotions.

"There should be no problem in passing the review." Tian Zhuangzhuang calmed down, "You are now the face of Huaxia Film, and your script will not be stuck. But where did you receive the script? Or did you write it yourself? "

Guan Ling didn't say anything, Tian Zhuangzhuang had already walked out.

I don’t know what the specific emotion was, but he vomited out one sentence, "Nortel is really lucky to have produced a monster like you. The content of the script is very profound and makes people feel scared. The content of the previous script makes people doubtful. It's sensual and calm, and in the end all the mysteries are revealed directly. When I watched it, I felt like I was going to be torn apart."

"This is what the script itself wants to convey. Many words will not be said in the lines, so the audience can feel it by themselves." Guan Ling said.

"This movie really has the potential to win the Palme d'Or." Tian Zhuangzhuang is the director, after all, he is also a mentor. Nortel's research on award-winning films at the three major film festivals every year is definitely the most in the country, so his words are still useful, "The main thing is The acting skills of the character must be sustained, and it is also related to the texture of the scenes you shoot.”

"Yes, that's why I came to ask Mr. Tian for advice." Guan Ling said, "Actually, if the teacher is willing, I think you can play the role of the male protagonist yourself. When writing the script, I felt that the temperament of this character fits you very well, teacher. .”

Guan Ling didn't lie. The original male protagonist's name was Nakagawa Masaya, and Wada Zhuangzhuang's appearance and temperament were very similar.

"Put it down, I've never acted." Tian Zhuangzhuang said with a smile, "Besides, if you really win the Palme d'Or, and people say I'm relying on my old age to steal the art film role from my apprentice, you're letting others poke my spine. ah."

"Teacher, what you said, I really think this role is suitable for you." Guan Ling said sincerely, "Can you think of anyone else who can take on this role?"

"Ling Ming, Wang Zhiwen, aren't all of these okay?"

"Their faces are so handsome." Guan Ling shook his head, "If you're not going to come, teacher, I'll ask Huang Bo later. This guy looks old. If he wears makeup and looks a little older, how will he feel about this character?" The degree of fit is also acceptable.”

"Huang Bo," Tian Zhuangzhuang thought for a while and said, "This role is indeed suitable for him. He Bing seems to be good too, but he is not from Nortel."

Guan Ling thought about it for a while, and if he really needed to choose someone, he would still choose Huang Bo.

"Actually, the most important thing is this role." Tian Zhuangzhuang pointed to the lead female role.
“This character is very restrained, and ordinary people can’t handle it.

What I can think of in my mind are all great actors, such as Gong Li, Jiang Wenli and others.These people will definitely be willing to come over to play your role, but there is only one thing: they are not from Nortel.If I were to choose a role in Nortel, I feel like it’s really hard to find such restrained acting skills. "Zhao Zhetian can't do it, Yan Danchen can't do it, and the others behind will have no chance."In fact, I think there is only one Zhou Xun who can act. "

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded and said,

"It's a pity that you are having a big fight with Huayi. Zhou Xun, would you consider using her?"

"Yes, she must leave Huayi."

"I can't make the decision on this." Tian Zhuangzhuang thought for a while, "I do have a suitable candidate for the role of the old lady."

"We should be thinking about the same person."

The two smiled at each other and both said the three-character name Wu Yanshu.

The old lady in the script is very kind, but also very thoughtful, but even if we just talk about the word kind, there is really no other better choice for the domestic old lady actor besides Wu Yanshu.

"Are you going to give the role of sister to Xiao Liu?"

In fact, Tian Zhuangzhuang probably understood when he saw Guan Ling bringing Liu Yifei over.

"Correct."

"The role is okay and quite relevant. It's actually not easy to find a girl of this age with strong acting skills. Besides, Xiao Liu is also an old actor."

The two were discussing.

The people inside who were reading the script began to argue.

Some people think the script is too strong, some think it doesn't seem to be in line with China's national conditions, and some are talking about roles in this script.

But obviously, everyone is involved.

Preparations have already begun to guide Guan Ling.

"I really didn't stop you just now. You and Xiao Liu should leave first. Let's talk about the characters here first." Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "You can come directly to me to get the script later."

out the door.

"I didn't even have a good word to say when I came here," Liu Yifei said. "It feels like we were kicked out. I didn't expect so many people to come out after you blew up a script."

"Thankfully I ran out. You didn't see the way Huang Lei looked at me just now." Guan Ling was still frightened, "I was even afraid that if I didn't give him the role, he would be able to hold on to me."

"How are you going to choose the heroine? I won't really be able to act on the same stage as Gong Li or Jiang Wenli, right?"

Liu Yifei was a little surprised, but also a little scared.

If I acted in a movie with either of these two people, the gap in my acting skills would be so obvious that it would be a joke to compare.

"Actually, these two are older." Guan Ling was also struggling, "Zhou Xunlai is the best choice to play the role."

"Huh? Choose her?"

Liu Yifei was sweating a little. These two people were not easy to deal with. The scene of competing for the role of "Little Dragon Girl" in The Legend of the Condor Heroes is still vivid in her mind.

"Isn't she from Huayi?"

"Let's talk." Guan Ling touched Liu Yifei's head, "It might not be possible if we just talk. Don't worry about what happened to your two characters in the past. I'll take care of you."

"You protect me, but there is still a gap in my acting skills."

"But you have several unproduced movies in Hollywood. What are you afraid of?"

After Guan Ling said this, Liu Yifei suddenly calmed down and said, "No matter what, if you want to talk, just go ahead and talk. If you can really talk about it, it will be a good bonus for Lingyun Media."

Who else can compare with her?Guan Ling currently has several movies in Hollywood, and Liu Yifei is always the first choice.

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei is quite a prodigal.

It doesn't matter whether she is trained every week or not, it poses no threat to herself.Liu Yifei thought so.

……

Jiang Wen called me on the way.

He is going to Venice.

All the procedures for "Let the Bullets Fly" were completed, so Jiang Wen had to leave early. He originally wanted to go to watch the Olympic opening ceremony, but it was difficult to buy air tickets and it would also delay his time in Venice.

On second thought.

You can leave early.

"Then I congratulate you on winning the award for this movie?"

Guan Ling doesn't know what the fate of "Let the Bullets Fly" will be in this life. In his previous life, because Jiang Wen didn't have enough time, he ended up participating in the Hong Kong Film Awards. The Hong Kong Film Awards are very exclusive, and the award he won in the end was tasteless.

Didn't perform as well as it should.

This time, Let the Bullets Fly is on the right track.

Everything depends on the review opinions.

……

Returned to the company with Liu Yifei and others.

I contacted someone under my banner to get a rough idea of ​​Zhou Xun’s situation and got Zhou Xun’s phone number.

Guan Ling thought for a while and dialed the phone directly.

The person who answered the phone was an assistant. Guan Ling didn't say who he was. He just said that he wanted Zhou Xun to call back if there was any drama.

"Who is he, so strange?"

The other party didn't contact his agent or say who he was, so he told Zhou Xun to call back later.

Who are you?
Why should Sister Xun call you back?

Zhou Xun is promoting "Li Mi's Conjecture" and participated in the TV station's announcement program.

Wait until you come back.

The assistant told Zhou Xun what happened just now in confusion.

"Sister Xun, you just received a call on your personal phone. The caller didn't say who he was. He just said he wanted to contact you about a new drama and asked you to call you back."

"Give me your phone and I'll answer you."

"Sister Xun, that's so rude over there. If you want me to see it, don't reply." The assistant pouted and quit.

"Private mobile phone numbers can only be disclosed by people you know well." Zhou Xun said, "If you don't think about it, it won't cause anything if you call me back."

beep.

the phone is ringing.

The other side is connected.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Xun. Did you contact me just now and say you wanted to talk to me about the role?" Zhou Xun was very polite.

"Correct."

"Then who are you? Should we set a time for an interview, or should we chat on the phone first? I happen to have time now."

"I am Guan Ling."

pat.

The phone suddenly lost its grip and fell to the ground.

Zhou Xun quickly picked up the phone and asked, "Are you Director Guan?"

Guan Ling nodded.

"Now I have a role that suits you very well, so I am going to ask you to terminate your contract with Huayi and take this role.
Or continue in Huayi, if I don’t give you this role, how will you choose? "

Guan Ling got straight to the point.

We can poach people with confidence!
