Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 191 Sophie Marceau Comes to China
At work, Du Wei is a serious and decisive person.

She thought Qin Lan was pretty and had the potential to be a leading actress, so she started taking care of her.

After Qin Lan "drew lots", she was assigned to Group 3.

There was a young man with a good image in the same group, Zhao Zhengyang from the 98 acting class of Beijing Film Academy. The other four were all amateurs.

The script the six of them chose was the scene in Full House where the male lead Liu Zhengxun brings the female lead Chen Wei to his home for the first time.

There are a total of five characters involved in this play, the male protagonist, the female protagonist, the male protagonist's parents and the grandmother.

This lottery is Du Wei's care.

Although Zhao Zhengyang may not be famous in the future, he was the class monitor of the 98 acting class. After graduation, he stayed in school as a teacher and taught the famous Beijing Film Academy 02 acting class.

He has excellent acting skills and organizational skills, which is also reflected in his personal profile.

In Du Wei's opinion, Zhao Zhengyang is a professional with good abilities, so he should be able to convince the crowd and organize everyone, with him playing the male lead, Qin Lan playing the female lead, the other three playing supporting roles, and the last one being a substitute or assistant.

However, Du Wei did not expect that among the four amateurs in the same group, the other three women all wanted to play the female lead.

"Why should I play the grandmother? I'm only 23 years old this year, in the prime of my life. Besides, I'm so pretty, and my looks are no worse than Qin Lan's, so I should play the female lead, Chen Wei."

"Forget about it. I should be the heroine. Look at my S-shaped body. Who wouldn't be confused when seeing me?"

"I'm not confused, but I'm really scared. Your face looks like it was run over by a car."

This is a talent show after all. Everyone wants to play the leading role and seize the opportunity to show themselves and win the chance to advance.

As long as someone starts it, quarrels are inevitable.

And when many women become confident, there really is no limit to their self-confidence.

Especially Qin Lan's group has 4 women and only 2 men.

In addition to Zhao Zhengyang, there is another man named Zhang Li, who is a simple and honest man. His specialty is martial arts and he doesn't talk at all.

Zhao Zhengyang didn't want to step out and argue with the woman.

This kind of dramatic scene of people fighting over roles is also one of the selling points of the show.

The program team set up groups of 6 people on purpose to cause trouble.

Sometimes there are not enough roles in the script, only 4 or 5 roles, and someone is destined to not be able to perform.

No one wants to be a substitute or a behind-the-scenes assistant.

If you don’t fight for it, you won’t have a chance to act. This is how the program team encourages “competition”.

Zheng Jing has gotten used to this situation. During the Yanjing qualifiers, the fighting there was even more intense.

Some quarreled openly, some were sarcastic, and some deliberately praised others and tripped others up secretly.

The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers. The scene was very exciting and showed some of the situations in the entertainment industry where actors competed for roles and resources.

Seeing that the argument was becoming more and more intense and the situation was at a stalemate, Qin Lan stood up.

She said, “Time is urgent. If we continue to argue, it will delay the rehearsal and we will be eliminated together.

In the script, the heroine needs to dance the "Snail and the Oriole" dance.

How about this, the four of us girls can take turns to dance this dance.

Then everyone votes together, the one with the most votes will play the female lead, the second place will play the grandmother with more scenes, the third place will play the mother, and the fourth place will be the backup. "

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately agreed.

After seeing this scene in the "monitoring room", Zheng Jing looked at Qin Lan with admiration. He didn't expect that she was quite smart.

Given Qin Lan's appearance, Zhao Zhengyang and Zhang Li would definitely vote for her to play the female lead, plus Qin Lan herself would vote for her.

She can get at least three votes.

No matter how he voted, Qin Lan was invincible.

What's more, the other three women will definitely vote for me, and the votes will be dispersed.

Qin Lan is sure to win this vote.

The other three women also knew that the men's votes were crucial, so they began to please Zhao Zhengyang and Zhang Li.

Qin Lan was not so proactive. She just looked at the two of them from time to time with her big watery eyes, and directly won the men's votes.

There is no way. It would be inappropriate for such a beautiful woman not to play the female lead.

Men's aesthetic logic is so simple and direct.

After some tug-of-war, Qin Lan played the female lead Chen Wei, Zhao Zhengyang played the male lead Liu Zhengxun, and the rest got their respective roles.

The woman, who was originally a little indignant, became relieved after seeing that "Confused Sister" was a substitute and had no role to play, and she was content to play the supporting role.

After watching the show, Du Wei exclaimed: “You designed this show, right?
You’re the only one who understands women’s struggles so well.”

Zheng Jing: “…”

"I just wrote a plan, emphasizing the selling points of the show, and the specific implementation was done by Wu Xiaowan, Lin Shiling and Xia Qing from Mango TV." Zheng Jing explained: "The three of them are women, and it is said that women understand women.

Besides, men in this show also fight, and they all fight to win.”

Du Wei did not ask about the program in detail. She asked: "Do these contestants still not know that their rehearsal process will also be recorded in the program?"

Zheng Jing said: "We have given some hints, but this is the first time that a reality show has been held in mainland China.

These people don’t understand reality shows, and subconsciously think that rehearsals don’t count as program recordings, only stage performances count.

This actually allows them to be more authentically themselves.”

"Your so-called hint should be just a passing mention."

"Haha, how did you give the hint? You'll have to ask Wu Xiaowan. She's the chief director."

Everyone has their own strengths.

Wu Xiaowan is not strong enough as a producer and has many problems.

However, when he switched to being a variety show director, he was very talented, able to quickly grasp the selling points of the show and was very good at creating things.

After chatting with Du Wei for a while, Zheng Jing left the "monitoring room" and came to the room of the third group.

When Zhao Zhengyang saw Zheng Jing coming in, he felt very restrained, but the other five amateurs were very "excited" instead.

Qin Lan was well prepared and rushed up first.

"Master Jing! I'm your fan, and I especially like listening to your singing! Can you sign an autograph for me?"

After the audition for Love in the Tang Dynasty, Qin Lan finally let it go.

Since the entertainment industry is full of unspoken rules, it is better to go all the way and find a real big boss.

What's more, Zheng Jing is tall and handsome, which is very much to Qin Lan's liking.

The name of fans is a universal excuse to get close to people.

After hearing Qin Lan's words, others also said, "Mr. Zheng, I'm your fan too! Please sign for me!"

"Me too……"

Zheng Jing ignored everyone's flattery and said calmly: "I am here to guide you in rehearsing. You guys act it out first and I'll take a look at the situation."

After hearing what Zheng Jing said, the six people began to rehearse the play.

Zhao Zhengyang's performance was the best, but it was just passing. The five amateurs had no experience and the whole scene was a mess.

Qin Lan's performance was especially poor, with her facial features flying around and looking very exaggerated.

She really wanted to act funny, but it became more and more awkward.

Full House is a comedy idol drama, which is quite difficult to perform well.

If it weren't for Zheng Jing's training, Gao Yuanyuan would not have been able to play the role of Chen Wei well.

Zheng Jing first gave the four amateurs some simple instructions, and then focused on Qin Lan and said, "You think too much when you are performing.

In your daily life, do you show off your beauty?

Qin Lan wanted to perform well, but the effect was counterproductive. When she heard Zheng Jing's question, she was stunned for a moment and replied, "Women all love beauty, and I am no exception."

"So what do you think is the most beautiful part of you?"

Qin Lan thought for a moment and said truthfully: "I am more satisfied with my waist and hips now."

Zheng Jing asked again: "Why don't you wear jeans to show your advantages, but wear a skirt?"

“Uh, I think this dress is prettier.” “That’s just what you think. As an actor, you have to show your strengths.

Apart from your figure, what do you think is the most beautiful part of your face?"

Qin Lan thought for a moment and said, "My eyes, everyone says I have beautiful eyes."

"What is the flaw on your face?"

"Um, I think my face is a little too big."

Qin Lan's face is also a bit square, but not as serious as that of Yang Mi, the seventh sister of the Teddy Sisters.

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "When becoming an actor, the first step is to understand yourself. From your appearance to your body shape, you must know your strengths and weaknesses.

In front of the camera, you should take advantage of it and show your charm.

Especially idol dramas.

Whether the acting is good or not is secondary, the actor must be charming.

Your advantage is your eyes, so work on that aspect first.

Don’t show any expression on your face now, frown slightly, and think about something sad. ”

Qiong Yao said, "A tear from Qin Lan is like a star in the sky." Although this is marketing hype, it also combines the characteristics of the actor herself.

Qin Lan's eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful, and her early crying scenes are really touching.

Qin Lan also made preparations for this competition.

She had no idea about acting. Like some other people, she thought that being able to perform crying scenes was impressive, so she focused on practicing crying.

At this moment, her emotions were brewing quickly. Her brows furrowed, her eyes gradually became moist, and tears welled up.

At this moment, the beauty shed tears, which made people feel pity for her.

Everyone around her thought that Qin Lan was more beautiful than before.

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "As a person, you should play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and the same is true for actors.

Since you have beautiful eyes and picturesque features, you should make good use of them.

In the script, the hero's grandmother is very sharp-tongued and thinks the heroine is uneducated. In fact, the heroine is very sad.

But she was stronger and used the comedy of dancing to erase the sadness.

With your current level, it is impossible to perform a comedic effect, so you might as well act it as a sad scene.

She felt aggrieved while dancing, and after leaving the male protagonist's house, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

This kind of interpretation can actually highlight your characteristics and charm. "

As an actor, the most important thing is to be beautiful in the play, that is, to be able to show a lively charm in front of the camera.

Because the public's favorable impression of actors is often enhanced through the filter of film and television drama roles.

In this regard, the one who did the worst was Naza.

There is no doubt that Naza is beautiful, but she lacks a good director and crew to guide her, and her facial expressions are not well managed.

There's always something missing in film and television works.

She has top-notch beauty but she is unable to bring it out.

Qin Lan kept Zheng Jing's words in mind.

At this moment, Qin Lan felt very ashamed. She felt that Zheng Jing was teaching her acting seriously.

But she came to participate in the show just to get close to the big boss, her purpose was not pure.

Thinking of this, Qin Lan looked at Zheng Jing, but unexpectedly Zheng Jing also looked over here.

The two looked at each other, and it was a glance that lasted for a lifetime.

Qin Lan felt her heart beating faster and her cheeks burning, as if she had been electrocuted.

Zhang Li, who was standing next to him, saw this scene and sighed, "Qin Lan is very quick-witted. President Zheng only taught her once, but she can draw inferences about other situations.

After acting out a crying scene, she can still act coy, so amazing!"

Qin Lan: "..."

Zheng Jing smiled and said, "I have said everything I need to say. I am going to the next group now. Good luck to you guys."

Looking at Zheng Jing's leaving back, Qin Lan felt lost.

It was not until Zhao Zhengyang asked everyone to rehearse that she adjusted her mood and continued the competition.

Thanks to Zheng Jing's guidance, Qin Lan performed very well in the preliminaries.

Although the comedy part was not shown at all, her crying scene was very touching, showing her advantage as a beautiful woman, and she was the first to get the qualification to advance to the national competition.

Du Wei also sent someone to contact Qin Lan to discuss the contract with her.

Zheng Jing stayed in Chang'an for two days, and early in the morning on the 14th, he flew to Shanghai.

This is the actor's preliminary round, and he only recorded the three competition areas of Yanjing, Chang'an and Shanghai.

Shanghai is the last stop.

The plane landed at Hongqiao Airport at 10 am.

Zheng Jing got on the VIP car and arrived at the VIP building, but found that there were many reporters here, and they all looked very sleepy.

"Who is coming to Shanghai with so many reporters?"

Zheng Jing knows his own limitations. Although he is very famous, the reporter team here has at least thirty or forty people.

Such a big scene was obviously organized by someone.

Zheng Jing didn't organize any activities, so why would there be so many reporters waiting for him?

Assistant Li Xia went to inquire about it, and then said: "Sophie Marceau is coming to attend the Shanghai International Film Festival.

According to the plan, she should have arrived at around 11 o'clock last night. The organizing committee of the film festival arranged a 50-person team of reporters to go to the airport for comprehensive coverage.

It’s just that it’s daytime now and Sophie Marceau hasn’t arrived yet.”

After listening to Li Xia's story, Zheng Jing smiled and shook his head. It was worthy of being Edinburgh.

Shanghai has always been known as an international metropolis. Whether it is the Magnolia Award for TV dramas or the film festival, it strives to be international.

But this path to internationalization is difficult to achieve.

For more than a decade in a row, the Magnolia Awards for Best TV Series, Best Actor and Best Actress have been given to foreigners, but it still has little international influence.

Finally, he had no choice but to "bend over" and look towards the country.

The Shanghai International Film Festival is similar. As the only international A-class film festival in China, it cannot invite any foreign stars.

At this year's Shanghai International Film Festival, Andre Zulawski was invited to serve as a judge.

This is Sophie Marceau’s current husband.

Then through this relationship, Sophie Marceau was invited.

At this time, Sophie Marceau, through the role of James Bond, also became famous in Hollywood and was a well-deserved international superstar.

The name of French Rose is well-known all over the world.

The organizing committee certainly attaches great importance to Sophie Marceau's willingness to come to the Shanghai International Film Festival.

This 50-member team of reporters is proof of that.

Zheng Jing waited in the VIP lounge for a while, and only prepared to leave after the waiter brought his luggage.

As soon as I walked out of the lounge, I saw reporters walking out cursing.

"Fuck! You went to the wrong airport. What kind of lame excuse is that?! I waited the whole night for nothing!"

"What can we do? Sophie Marceau will be here tomorrow, and we have to come again tomorrow."

"Oh, this crappy job is so f*cking annoying."

Hearing the reporters' discussions, Zheng Jing vaguely remembered that he seemed to have read related news before.

Sophie Marceau was indeed "late" when she came to China for the first time. She said she went to the wrong airport in Paris and missed her flight...
