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

Chapter 79: All the alms have fallen on Zhang Yimou?

"No, it's just voluntary help!"

Chen Jin replied calmly.

Zhu Yanmanzi, who had just walked out of the new screen, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his handsome face full of confusion.

Why didn't she believe this?!

"Xiao Zhu, don't go around saying anything about today's audition, including the content of our scenes together!"

"Otherwise it will have a huge impact on the results of your subsequent auditions!"

"Ok!"

This text message was sent by the casting director. Thinking of the QQ message sent by Chen Jin, Zhu Yanmanzi reacted instantly.

Is it a secret?
"Actually, this guy has already auditioned?"

Zhu Yanmanzi felt that her guess was probably right, but she didn't stupidly ask Chen Jin directly, but said: "Thank you today!"

"Thank me?"

"Yeah, when I saw it was you who came out, smiling so happily, I instantly stopped being nervous!"

“Do I still have this function?”

Chen Jin smiled and said, "But I didn't expect you to come for the audition!"

"I should be the one who didn't expect it, right?"

"Luckily, Director Zhang called you by your name in the conference room. Oh, by the way, you can actually play the accordion?"

"If it weren't for your piano playing, I would have been stunned when I saw it was you!"

Zhu Yanmanzi was indeed very grateful to Chen Jin in her heart.

The above sentence is also true.

When Chen Jin came out of the room and smiled at her, she really felt that smile was contagious. In an instant, she was not nervous at all. There was only a trace of shyness in her heart, and she subconsciously responded to that smile.

Even at this moment, Zhu Yanmanzi's mind was filled with the image of Chen Jin's smile just now.

It's so clear that one can't help but raise the corners of one's mouth slightly, and can't help wanting to laugh.

Of course, this is based on Zhu Yanmanzi's guess about Chen Jin.

If Zhang Yimou hadn't called her Chen Jin, Zhu Yanmanzi would have been very surprised to see Chen Jin.

This will actually have a huge impact on the subsequent rivalry between the two people.

One wrong step and one wrong step after another.

Acting against each other is like this. Actors who are familiar with each other can act very smoothly; this is because you understand each other well and the psychological level is lowered a lot; for strangers, there must be a process of adaptation and mutual adjustment.

But when there is suddenly an acquaintance in front of you, you will definitely be subconsciously startled, and the performance afterwards will be disrupted.

Any detail may lead to the failure of the performance.

"So, I did the right thing?"

Chen Jin really didn't think much about it. The accordion was indeed an important prop for the third brother.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yimou accidentally exposed himself. I have to say... Zhu Yanmanzi is blessed with good luck.

"Too bad I didn't feel good about the audition inside!"

"Director Zhang must be very disappointed with my performance..."

Zhu Yanmanzi felt like a clown when thinking about his own self-defeating performance.

"Don't think too much, wait for notification!"

After Chen Jin finished speaking, he immediately said, "I'm busy, let's talk later!"

I have to entertain customers again... Oh, no, I have to act opposite the girl who is doing the audition.

The whole day was spent with Chen Jin playing various instruments and singing over and over again.

……

In the evening, Zhang Yimou called everyone to a meeting.

Only he, Pang Liwei and Pu Lun were left in the office.

Chen Jin took the company car back to the dormitory.

"Let's talk about Zhu Yanmanzi. Xiao Pu, sign a contract with her as soon as possible!"

After a day of audition, Zhang Yimou finally chose Zhu Yanmanzi over Zhou Dongyu.

Zhou Dongyu also tried it with Chen Jin, but always felt that something was missing.

Still haven't found any actress with big breasts.

Just as Zhang Yimou had imagined, there were too few options to choose from when screening according to specific conditions, so he could only pick out a few of Jingqiu's other shining points.

Mainly, Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi are a good match.

He looks better than when he is with Zhou Dongyu.

The thing about liking someone is that it’s a strange thing. The same male actor gives people different feelings when he is with different female actors.

Otherwise there would be no so-called screen couples.

Gu Tian Le and Li Ruotong were a good match in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", but the young Gu Tian Le and Liu Yifei look very awkward together.

But can you say that Liu Yifei is not suitable for Xiaolongnu?

That’s not entirely true. Although Liu Yifei’s version of Little Dragon Girl was criticized by many people, she is indeed the most recognized.

Zhou Dongyu is in the same situation now.

In terms of photogenic look, Zhu Yanmanzi and Chen Jin are better than her.

Just because the male lead has changed, Zhang Yimou's feeling has changed, and the movie still follows the photogenic couple effect.

The only highlight of the movie "Under the Hawthorn Tree" is the love between the male and female protagonists, so Zhang Yimou had such a difficult time choosing the casting.

"We only have a few days left before we leave the set. We will try to get to the set within a week!"

"After the script reading, we need to build up a good rapport between the two of us!"

Although Zhang Yimou said this, it sounded like he was talking to himself.

"Director Zhang, let me digress!"

"How do we select Yu Mo?"

Pu Lun was talking there.

"Let's do the training. The initial test was okay, and there are no other candidates to replace me. I can only give it a try!"

"I hope I will be satisfied after the training!" "Okay!"

Then there is no other problem for Pu Lun.

"Put aside "The Flowers of War" for now and focus on preparing for "The Hawthorn Tree". Xichuan will go there first tomorrow, and we will take care of the final work here before we set off. Xiao Pu, remember to tell Chen Jin in advance!"

"So that he can be prepared!"

"it is good!"

Pu Lun was taking notes, but Pang Liwei said, "Director Zhang, Chen Jin has an audition, but they didn't tell me the exact time!"

"Oh, yes, Sister Pang told me that it's a tribute film for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. It's a big move by Mr. San, and the best people in the entire circle have been trying to get a spot!"

"Then wait until they have made the arrangements. There is no rush!"

Only Zhang Yimou didn't take this matter to heart. He waved his hand and said, "That's all. Let's deal with the things in the capital and then we'll set off!"

"Oh, there's more!"

Pang Liwei remembered another thing, still about Chen Jin.

"The results of the Central Academy of Drama's art exam are out. Chen Jin ranked first again, with a high score of over 95 points. Zhu Yanmanzi also took the exam for the Central Academy of Drama. Should we talk to Dean Zhang about it? We agreed that the male and female protagonists would be students from Beijing Film Academy, but now we have chosen a student from the Central Academy of Drama's art exam..."

"Let's talk!"

"It's easy to talk to Lao Zhang. Chen Jin can choose Beijing Film Academy, so there's no problem. But as for Zhu Yanmanzi's family, let's see if they agree to postpone her enrollment for a year and transfer to Beijing Film Academy!"

"If that doesn't work, we'll think of another way!"

Zhou Dongyu’s admission into the university was postponed for one year in her previous life, but she was lucky enough to transfer from Nanjing University of the Arts to Beijing University of the Arts.

Now Zhu Yanmanzi has transferred from the Central Academy of Drama to the Beijing Film Academy. I'm sure her family and she herself will have some thoughts.

But the opportunity to play the leading female role in "Under the Hawthorn Tree" is equally rare.

It depends on the other party's choice, or Zhang Huijun's attitude.

"Let's go, I have to go back and clean up!"

“Try to get to Yichang as soon as possible!”

The filming location of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" is located in Bailihuang Scenic Area and Zigui County in Yichang, Hubei!

Bailihuang Scenic Area is famous for its unique hilly grassland and rich natural landscape. It is the main filming location for the hawthorn tree in the movie, which symbolizes pure, clean and beautiful love.

Zigui County, with its picturesque environment and convenient geographical location, provides an excellent background for outdoor scenes.

The entire shooting period was actually not long, only 2 months.

The main reason is that Zhang Yimou shoots movies quickly, and this is even taking into account the need for two newcomers to get used to each other and do some NGs.

If two experienced actors were used, Zhang Yimou could finish the job in a month.

He could even edit at night while filming, and on the final day, he would be able to complete the first cut.

He is the only one in the entire industry who can do this.

Many directors in the industry admire his ability.

Zhang Yimou got into the car while explaining everything. At this time, Chen Jin, who had just returned to the dormitory, received Pu Lun's message.

Let’s start shooting!

"Under the Hawthorn Tree" is finally going to be filmed.

Chen Jin had been waiting all day, and it seemed like the opportunity had already been extinguished.

First he reported to his mother as usual, and then he sent a message to Guo Xun: "Have you finished reading the novel?"

Guo Xun answered quickly.

"After watching it, I feel it is indeed a good film. Just follow the script, no need to change it!"

“But I don’t think there is much market for it…”

Guo Xun still has ambitions.

"Unless Director Zhang is the producer of this movie, I don't think it will be possible to make even 500 million at the box office!"

"Director Zhang's name must be put on it!!"

As expected of you!
Is it Zhang Yimou who has to beg for alms?

"Take this photo and show it to him first. If the photo is not good, how can you let others put your name on it?"

"I am too embarrassed to mention it..."

The main reason was that Chen Jin had no idea at all, not because she had no confidence in "Love Is Not Blind" directed by Guo Xun.

But Lao Zhang has never put his name on any movie in most of his life. He values his reputation more than his life!
Of course, that's at this stage.

After the incident of the illegitimate child was exposed, Lao Zhang directly lived a second life, and his various outrageous actions were simply unbearable to watch.

Even the "The Wandering Earth 2" starring the immortal beggar has to stay away, for fear of being splashed with blood by "Man Jiang Hong".

The new generation vs the old order.

In the end, it was Zhang who had the last laugh. It was because he was rich that he made so many bad movies over the years, but people still paid for them.

“So, I made a decision!”

Guo Xun said this very seriously.

"I'm going to do odd jobs on your crew and try to get close to Director Zhang. It should be easier with you around!"

Chen Jin could hear what was happening even though he was far away.

"Didn't you hang out with him?"

Guo Xun actually worked as a stage manager and coordinator in Zhang Yimou's crew.

"Stop talking, Director Zhang doesn't even know me. Being on a crew is different from being a director!"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Jin understood what he meant.

This guy actually wanted to get close to Zhang Yimou, so he went to his crew, but his efforts were in vain. It is estimated that he did not say a word to Zhang Yimou from the start of filming to the end.

Isn’t this ridiculous?

"But, it's different now, brother!"

"You are my mentor. I will definitely learn something from Director Zhang this time!"

Chen Jin: “???”
