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

Chapter 69 Zhang Yimou takes action!
"Did that kid really say that?"

Inside the office of Huamei Time and Space, Teng Huatao looked at Zhao Zhao in front of him with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Director Teng!"

"He should want to find a director and play the leading role himself!"

"Haha, just him? How much investment?"

"You haven't even entered the circle yet, and you're thinking about walking?"

Teng Huatao sneered and took a cigarette. Zhao Zhao hurriedly took out a lighter to light it for him.

"Whoo~~~"

Teng Huatao took a deep puff and blew out smoke rings.

He had already learned some information about Chen Jin from Zhao Zhao yesterday, and Zhao Zhao had asked the Beijing Film Academy about it.

Zhang Yimou auditioned at the Beijing Film Academy a few days ago, and many students from the Beijing Film Academy went.

So what Bao Jingjing saw might be an illusion deliberately created by this guy. Zhao Zhao also confirmed some details of the copyright purchase with Bao Jingjing, which should be similar to the analysis... Apart from this, he has no background at all, and he hasn't even signed with an agency. His family is still from Su Province.

"Director Teng, Teacher Cui is actually quite optimistic about him!"

Zhao Zhao said, "I thought our company wanted to sign him. He was full of praise for him over the phone!"

"It shouldn't be a problem for this guy to get into the Beijing Film Academy's acting department!"

Zhao Zhao thought about what Cui Xinqin said on the phone yesterday. Teng Huatao leaned comfortably on the sofa and looked at his assistant: "How many students graduate from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy every year? How many of them can be filmed in TV dramas?"

"What's the point of being good at studying? There are so many people in this circle who are good at acting!"

"Don't even mention the leading male or female role, does he have what it takes to get an important role?"

"He doesn't even have an agency, and he's a man?"

It’s not that Teng Huatao looks down on Chen Jin, but he has seen too many Beijing Film Academy students like Chen Jin.

Women can still sell their bodies, but what can men do?
Oh, and you can sell meat, too.

But Teng Huatao only likes women.

"Ask that guy out, I'll talk to him in person. If that doesn't work, throw a role to him!"

Teng Huatao flicked the ash off his cigarette. There were many male characters in Love Is Not Blind anyway, so he might as well give him an insignificant one and get rid of him.

"Okay, I'll call him!"

Zhao Zhao immediately took out his phone again and returned to the office a moment later: "Director Teng, that kid is not free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. He said he would go to Beijing Film Academy, but he will be at school the day after tomorrow!"

"Does he know me?"

Teng Huatao actually wanted to ask this question just now.

What the hell is this art student trying to show off to me?
So clueless?

Having been in this circle for so long, this is the first time that Teng Huatao has met such a young and inexperienced person.

It made him feel more and more that this kid knew nothing, let alone background.

Who among those who have some connection with him wouldn't be respectful to him?!

No matter how bad the situation is, you have to give face to the old man.

Not to mention being polite when saying the name, when hearing the three words "Teng Huatao", there must be at least the minimum respect.

Are the EQs of people in the entertainment industry so low?

"know!"

Zhao Zhao hurriedly said: "I told him, I'm your assistant!"

"You told us to go to Beijing Film Academy. Have you asked him to come to our company?"

Zhao Zhao: "He... said he's busy!"

"..."

Teng Huatao stood up and put out the cigarette. He was so angry that he almost laughed. A small shrimp was really not worth his anger.

"Does this kid think he has me in his grasp?"

"Do you think you can just act like a big shot just because you have a copyright?"

"Okay, the day after tomorrow, right?"

Teng Huatao glanced at Zhao Zhao, and the expression on his face was very interesting: "What time?"

"It's fine in the morning!"

"Well, in the morning then!"

Teng Huatao wanted to see how awesome this guy was.

A cool art exam candidate, acting like he's worth a fortune. If you don't know him, you'd think he's Zhang Yimou's biological son.

Oh, Old Zhang is so pitiful in this life that he doesn’t even have a child.

"Hahaha!"

Thinking of this, Teng Huatao smiled.

It is rumored that Zhang Yimou has a very bad relationship with his daughter. It is not shameful for such a big director to live in a two-bedroom apartment every day.

Zhang Weiping is a man who can do this, treating a big director like a beast of burden. The key is that Zhang Yimou seems to enjoy it.

Anyway, Teng Huatao doesn’t understand and doesn’t want to understand.

"Xiao Zhao, draw the curtains!"

"'Female Editor' will give you a role as a director, do you want it?"

Teng Huatao really needed to vent his anger. He had been troubled by this kid named Chen Jin these past two days and he had no mood to criticize him at all.

It's a rare opportunity to feel something now, so I have to release it right now.

……

In the evening, Zhang Yimou's office.

Fu Lulu would come every day and show Zhang Yimou the materials shot that day.

With the filming about to start, Zhang Yimou hasn't had a full night's sleep for several days because of the role of the heroine.

If there is really no other choice, we can only use Zhou Dongyu's child.

But what Chen Jin said was indeed correct. Compared with the original, Zhou Dongyu still has many inconsistencies, especially in appearance and figure.

Although Zhang Yimou doesn't care about the attitude of the original author, the audience... he is still scared.

I'm scared of being scolded.

The negative reactions to his previous film, “Three Guns,” on the Internet almost broke him down.

There is no director who doesn't care about the audience's feedback, otherwise the poet Kaizige would not have said the classic words after "The Promise" was spoofed - "People can't be so shameless!"

Instead, Zhang Yimou said: I don’t mind, I will share the joy with the people.

This measurement is indeed not in the same dimension.

Fortunately for Kaizi, "The Promise" was filmed in 05. If it was released in 15, the ghost videos on Bilibili would probably have made him transform into Wang Lang and die by vomiting blood.

He can't even stand a spoof like "A Murder Caused by a Bun", let alone a ghost-like spoof?

"Of those guys from Beijing Film Academy yesterday, only one was okay!"

Zhang Yimou said to Fu Lulu who was beside him. Fu Lulu spread her hands and said, "Director Zhang, don't listen to Chen Jin's talk about big breasts and a good figure!"

"He read the original novel and was completely immersed in the role of the third brother!"

"Hehe, do you think he can influence me?"

Zhang Yimou smiled and didn't dwell on the issue any further. He pointed to the projector and said, "I have a meeting tonight. I'll finish watching it quickly!"

"Ok!"

Fu Lulu quickly projected all the footage she had shot today onto the screen.

The office suddenly fell silent. When Zhang Yimou was looking at the role, there could not be any noise.

There is nothing we can do about the projector sound, the main thing is that it cannot affect his thinking and aesthetics.

He has a unique perspective on characters that is different from others, and he is not white, young, or thin, but has a temperament that fits in with art films.

Especially dancing girls, that kind of purity and gentleness is exactly what he needs.

"what?"

After looking at more than a dozen girls, Zhang Yimou pointed to a photo and said, "This one is good. Ask her to come over for an audition!"

"Ok!"

Fu Lulu took note of it.

After a while, Zhang Yimou finished watching all the footage that Fu Lulu had shot today.

He closed his eyes and pinched his swollen eyelids with his hands: "Just these few, are you still going to Beijing Dance Academy tomorrow?"

"Yes, tomorrow!"

"Then we'll arrange the auditions for the day after tomorrow!"

"it is good--"

Fu Lulu was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something and looked up and said, "Oh, by the way, Director Zhang, the results of the third Beijing Film Academy exam will be announced the day after tomorrow, so let's postpone the audition to the afternoon!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Yimou opened his eyes suddenly: "The results of the third test the day after tomorrow are out?"

"Well, Chen Jin said he did well in the exam!"

Fu Lulu still has to flatter Chen Jin.

"This kid should be able to do it!"

"Xiao Pang——"

Zhang Yimou suddenly shouted outside, and Pang Liwei immediately pushed the door open and walked in: "Director Zhang!"

"Ask Chen Jin about his third test results!"

"Okay, I'll come and catch up with Lao Zhang..."
