I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 16: Under the Hawthorn Tree

"What's the plan?"

Chen Jin thought he had heard it wrong.

Zhang Yimou?
What a joke! Does Zhang Yimou really need to just pick someone up for an audition?
Chen Jin obviously couldn't believe it.

Su Wanyu obviously heard it too. Of course she knew Zhang Yimou. Even if she didn't watch many movies, she knew that he was the director of the 08 Olympics.

Newspapers and media all over the country were reporting on this, and it seemed that a movie called "Three Guns" directed by the director later was badly criticized?

Su Wanyu doesn't usually watch movies, but she can't resist the young teachers in the office talking about things in the entertainment industry.

So after all this, it wasn't like she knew nothing.

"Director Zhang Yimou!"

Fu Lulu was also helpless, but that was the fact. Whenever she saw someone suitable at the art school these days, she would go up and ask a few questions.

Some of the other assistant directors are even more powerful, recruiting people on the street, but she is just staying in the Performance Building of Beijing Film Academy.

It's because Zhang Yimou has some extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder. His requirements for actors are not high, but they must satisfy his aesthetic needs, so... the assistant directors are the ones who suffer.

It’s not that there were no agencies and friends who recommended amateurs to him, but considering that Zhang Yimou’s partner Zhang Weiping wanted to maximize the benefits of cultivating new talents, Zhang Yimou chose the most common actor audition in the circle.

But auditioning for actresses was easy, but auditioning for actors was a bit difficult, especially during the winter vacation, and Zhang Yimou was in a hurry, so I could only try my luck near the art school.

Chen Jin's relaxed walking posture just now made Fu Lulu couldn't help but pick up the camera and take a picture.

Just from the perspective of a female director, Chen Jin looks very pretty and simple, not pure. Pure means dressing simply and having an honest temperament, but Chen Jin is not like that. She looks very simple and honest, like an unpolished jade.

He doesn't have the craftsmanship that many students from art schools have, which makes him very special.

Among the many boys coming and going, he was the one that Fu Lulu felt was the most different. The other boys were either pretty boys or young men who looked pampered.

So she couldn't help but come out and want to chat.

"..."

Chen Jin didn’t hear wrong this time, Zhang Yimou?
Is it really Zhang Yimou?
Seeing the disbelief on Chen Jin's face, Fu Lulu didn't explain much. After all, it was just a selection.

Whether or not he can audition is still unknown, and the final decision has to be made by Zhang Yimou.

"If you are interested, you can leave me your phone number and I will shoot a vlog for you and keep it as material!"

Fu Lulu raised the camera to her chest. Chen Jin glanced at Su Wanyu. Just as Su Wanyu was about to ask, Fu Lulu shrugged: "It's quick, done in 1 minute!"

"Actually, I'm also a student of Beijing Film Academy, class of 98, Department of Acting!"

Fu Lulu didn't know why, but she explained it anyway.

Su Wanyu immediately stepped back a few steps to give space to Chen Jin, but Chen Jin suddenly asked: "Miss——"

"What did you call me?"

Fu Lulu had just picked up the camera, but when she heard the name of "young sister", she put her hand down and looked like she was smiling.

"Director Fu!"

Chen Jin thought about the introduction she had just made. Actually, Chen Jin learned the term "young lady" from the autobiographical movie Future. Isn't that how people in later generations call her?
You can’t call someone in their 30s “Auntie” or “Sister”. It’s best to call her “Miss Sister”.

The little fairy is going to be beaten.

Did I call it wrong?!
I just knew this old system was cheating me!

"You should just call me little sister..."

It was the first time that Fu Lulu heard someone call her like that and she was a little surprised.

"Miss, what movie assistant director did you just say you were?"

Chen Jin asked hurriedly.

“Under the Hawthorn Tree!”

Perhaps because of the call of "little sister", Fu Lulu felt that the little boy in front of her was quite interesting.

"Under the Hawthorn Tree? It's this movie?"

Chen Jin's heart moved, he had seen this movie in his future autobiographical film.

It’s not that I’ve seen the original film, but when Chen Jin was looking at the box office rankings in the future, he was careful and paused to take a special look. It seems that it is really a movie released this year?
Chen Jin actually knows all the popular movies this year, next year, and the year after, because the future Chen Jin, that is, himself, has a hobby of frequently using his mobile phone to check various charts and hot searches.

After a while, Chen Jin remembered some of them.

"The realism of future autobiographical movies is really getting higher and higher!" Chen Jin almost no longer has any doubts about his old system. If nothing unexpected happens, that must be the future trajectory of his life.

In other words, the future popular movies, World Cups, TV series, etc. are all real.

"Is this the film I'm auditioning for?"

Chen Jin asked subconsciously.

"Yes, but it's not an audition. You will be notified to audition only after you are selected!"

"So I have to shoot some footage for you..."

Fu Lulu raised the camera again, and Chen Jin understood a little.

Happy for nothing.

He thought he could go directly to the audition for "Under the Hawthorn Tree", no wonder there was no response to the task.

Hey, there are still some!

[Task]: Try to audition for an important role. (Completion in progress, 1% progress.)
"I remember there was no progress bar before?"

"Fuck, it's really an audition!"

Chen Jin instantly got the hang of it. Seeing Fu Lulu holding up the camera opposite her, she immediately started posing and using micro-expressions.

"No, no, I want your most real and natural state!"

"Don't act..."

As the assistant director, Fu Lulu of course immediately noticed that Chen Jin was showing off his skills.

But you know what, from those two moves just now, Fu Lulu could feel that Chen Jin had some acting skills.

It’s not low, which surprised Fu Lulu.

"The most real and natural state?"

Chen Jin stood there, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of a poster from "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

He was particularly impressed by the male lead's white teeth.

"Yes... yes, yes, that's it!"

"Keep it up!"

"very good!"

Fu Lulu had to admit that this art student who suddenly cut in was quite capable.

She took the camera and started shooting mode, her eyes fixed on the viewfinder. Chen Jin's whole body had relaxed, and she then smiled slightly towards the camera.

A natural, generous and sunny smile, and those white teeth make him look particularly friendly.

This time it's very simple.

A simple and sincere smile makes people feel warm.

Many people show their teeth and look ugly when they smile.

But for some people, it's just the opposite. The feeling of laughing with teeth showing comes from the heart, and it makes others feel a sense of empathy and pleasure.

Sometimes you will laugh along with them when you watch them, which is commonly known as infectiousness.

Chen Jin's current smile has such a charm.

"Ok!"

Fu Lulu snapped her fingers, obviously very satisfied with Chen Jin's performance.

After filming the vlog, Chen Jin was given a front view, side view, close-up, face focus and long-range view. After that, she couldn't help but pick up the camera to look through them.

At this time, many art students and parents were surrounding Chen Jin, and some of them were looking at her curiously.

Some people don’t know what Fu Lulu and Chen Jin are doing, but there are obviously some who know what’s going on.

Many parents of art exam candidates are also people in this circle.

"Hello, is this your son?"

A parent of a child taking an art exam suddenly asked Su Wanyu who was standing beside her.
