"Director Feng, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I feel more energetic."
In an office in the building.
Zhang Yuan led Wang Baoqiang and greeted Feng Xiaogang.
“Is this the person you said you were going to bring?” Director Feng said as usual, wearing a beige peaked cap, protruding his mouth and baring his teeth.
He glanced at the nervous look on his face behind Zhang Yuan, wishing he could hide half of his body behind his eldest brother, this rustic boy.
Not only was Director Feng not as skeptical as Cheng Hao, but he felt his eyes were brightening.
Actually, this is no wonder Cheng Hao.
With her appearance and figure, she definitely has an image advantage for being able to get along well in the film and television industry.
Not to mention the film and television industry, in life, even if you are simply looking for a job, pretty girls have advantages over ordinary girls, and they will have more resources and advantages in life.
Although it’s unfair, that’s how the world is.
So Cheng Hao has her "path dependence".
In her eyes, appearance is very important to an actor.
Including Zhang Yuan, she thinks that Zhang Yuan can become what he is today in a short period of time. His appearance is definitely a bonus, and even one of the key advantages.
But Feng Xiaogang is completely different.
Because of his life experience, he is actually very tolerant of appearance, especially the appearance of male actors.
You can understand this by looking at the actors he often collaborates with.
Ge You, Fu Biao, Yingda, Fan Wei...
Not only do none of them rely on their appearance to make a living, many of them even have looks that only come out in hundreds of years.
But actresses are different!
Needless to say, Xu Fan is his wife after all. Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Guan Zhilin... pick the pretty ones.
Actors are looking for similar people.
Actresses are looking for aesthetics.
So for him, there is no problem in accepting Baoqiang’s appearance.
"His name is Wang Baoqiang, and he just won the Golden Horse Best Newcomer a while ago."
"Oh!" Director Feng immediately thought of it: "I said he looks familiar."
"I just opened a brokerage company, and he is mine."
"Brokerage company?" Feng Xiaogang's eyes flickered, as if he heard something incredible.
“Why are you driving this thing?”
“To make money.” Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
Of course it is not only to make money, but also to influence the market to a certain extent.
What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century?
Talent!
"You want to act, can you take care of it?"
"Someone can help me take care of it." Zhang Yuan then told Cheng Hao's shares and position.
After listening, Feng Xiao’s surprised look just now was replaced by an envious look.
"This kid sleeps with others and uses them...there is no waste at all."
"He is so handsome and amazing!"
"But he is indeed generous enough, and he is not married. He dared to give shares, no wonder people are willing to follow him. "
In fact, he didn't understand that even if he got married, he could get divorced, and it would be necessary to file a lawsuit to divide the family property.
Buying people's hearts can't just rely on words, you have to use real money.
"You kid..." Feng Dao said with a bulging mouth: "You have taken advantage of me!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Zhang Yuan "raised" Baoqiang to come He came to me and said, "Look, is there any use for him in the crew?"
"Don't tell me, there is!" Director Feng rolled his eyes, looked up and down, and touched his hand up and down.
“This kid is so natural and pure.” Director Feng praised.
“Is that pure like a big girl?”
"Then I like to be wild."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Because of the previous "Cell Phone" and the revision of the script for "A World Without Thieves", the two are already very familiar with each other.
If you say something that is off-key, it will show your closeness.
“Speaking of which, the cheongsam lady on the set of “Kung Fu” looked pretty slutty.”
"Tsk!" Director Feng said with a pinch of teeth: "It's a pity that your sister-in-law is here, so I didn't even dare to touch her properly during filming."
It's okay, I've touched it for you. Touch it. At night... Zhang Yuan thought to himself.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let your little brother prepare, and you can also prepare for the audition later."
"The boss is also here today." Director Feng came closer and said softly arrive.
Baoqiang went to change into a rustic village dress, which was in line with his native temperament.
Zhang Yuan was assigned two sets of clothing.
A set of plainclothes police uniform with black base.
A set of travel clothes with a beige jacket.
Wang Baoqiang was the first to go to the audition because he didn’t need to put on makeup at all, just put on clothes, which was of course faster.
He was waiting outside in a plainclothes uniform.
"It's unnecessary." Zhang Yuan glanced at his makeup, and then said softly.
“The role I am auditioning for now is that of a policeman disguised as a painter.”
“Although this role doesn’t even have a name, it has a lot of roles.”
"However, I shouldn't be able to get it."
Zhang Yuan knew that first of all, he was too young. According to the setting, this role must be a middle-aged man, otherwise how could he be arranged like this? Important tracking tasks?
Secondly, with a big brother like Zhang Hanyu here, my hopes are very slim.
Director Feng himself is from the compound, so we help each other.
No matter how familiar I am with him, I am not as familiar as Zhang Hanyu.
So the police character was not what he was eyeing at the beginning.
"Okay?" Thinking of this, he just opened the door and Baoqiang walked out happily.
"Looking at your expression, it should look good."
"Hehehehe..." This guy smiled innocently.
If Zhang Yuan wants to star, he has to fight for it.
If Wang Baoqiang wants to act, there is no need to fight.
Because he doesn’t have to act at all, he is just stupid.
Of course, this also made his subsequent transformation far more difficult and painful than ordinary people.
Director Feng also walked out and gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up.
“Really good!”
[Received a thank you from Feng Xiaogang, +1 for my observation! 】
【Received thanks from Wang Baoqiang, physical fitness +1! 】
"That's good." Zhang Yuan was naturally happy, as he could get a cut of his remuneration.
The most incompetent boss in the world is the one who is jealous of the success of his employees.
Without tolerance, the company will be ruined sooner or later.
Of course Zhang Yuan is not like this. The more his employees earn, the happier he is. He is even happier than he was when he won the role.
"You should take a rest for a while. Liu Dehua and his younger brother are pressed for time, so they have to audition first."
"OK, I can wait, don't be in a hurry."
Director Zhang Yuanfeng returned to the room used for the audition, and soon after, he saw Andy Lau and Dong Guanzi walking in.
Lin Jialong...
Zhang Yuan paid special attention to this younger brother of Hua Ge.
“Speaking of which, we are somewhat destined...”
Lin Jialong stars in the TVB TV series "Lam Sai Wing" as Pork Wing, and he has just fought against Pork Wing's real-life disciple Zhao Zhilin.
It’s quite interesting inside and outside the play.
Around 2000, Lin Jialang left TVB and then joined Andy Lau.
At that time, there were many tabloid rumors that the two of them were "strongly locked up" because Liu Dehua went bankrupt several times... This old bankrupt professional, Lin Jialong has always followed him and never left.
Actually, if I knew that Andy Lau was supported by Zhu Liqian, I wouldn’t leave!
Everyone later learned that Miss Zhu came from a well-to-do family. But probably most people don't have a specific idea of how strong someone's family background is.
Miss Zhu’s two uncles are real estate and car sales tycoons in Malaysia, as well as investment tycoons.
But after all, Malaysia is a "small place" in the eyes of many people, and they always feel that it is not strong enough.
Don’t be anxious.
Miss Zhu's uncle's company is called Chenggong Group, and one of its companies is Cosway.
Cosway has a major shareholder, a lady named Deng.
Ms. Deng’s uncle drew a circle on the South China Sea in the spring of 1979 and established the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone...
There is a reason why Brother Hua and Miss Zhu are so low-key. .
As one of the few well-known good eldest brothers in the entertainment industry, Andy Lau naturally has to support his little brother Lin Jialang whenever he gets the chance.
Traditional folk art pays attention to passing on, helping and leading.
But in the entertainment industry, it seems that Hua Ge is the only superstar who can really do this.
Compared with him, Fa Ge, who is also the eldest brother, has such character...
Lin Jialong is indeed more up-to-date. He is low-key, has good acting skills, and can also hurdle...
< br>The reason why Zhang Yuan pays so much attention to him is because he has calculated that there is only one role that he can compete for.
Four-eyed boy!
So, his direct competitor is Lin Jialong.
After a long time, Brother Hua and Lin Jialong walked out of the audition room, walking hurriedly and smiling.
It seems that the test was not bad.
“Teacher Zhang Yuan, it’s your turn.”
Under the guidance of an assistant, he also stepped into the room.
"Oh..."
Director Feng had specifically mentioned before that "the boss is here today".
He was still thinking about who the boss was.
At a glance, behind a long table covered with red cloth, Feng Xiaogang, who should have been sitting in the middle, the main seat, turned away.
And the one who really sat in the main seat was the so-called boss, Xiao Wang.
The little king among the two kings of Hua and Yi, the king of thunder!
Besides these two, there are two others.
One is a producer of the film named Chen Guofu.
This is the production director of Columbia Film Asia, and now Hua Yi is wooing him and wants to win him over.
This will kill two birds with one stone. It will not only acquire talents, but also tap into Columbia Film’s overseas resources.
The overseas distributor of Zhang Yuangang's "Kung Fu" is apparently Sony Pictures, but it is actually Columbia Pictures, because Sony acquired Columbia in 1989 in order to enter Hollywood.
This is also the person who pulled the strings for the overseas distribution of "Kung Fu".
This old man is not only a producer, but also often a director himself.
The weird "Two Eyes" is his directorial masterpiece.
The later "Detective Chinatown 2" copied the setting of this film.
He later co-directed the famous spy blockbuster "The Wind" with Gao Qunshu, the director of "Conquest".
The other person is the action director of this film, named Jiang Daohai.
This one is completely different from ordinary martial arts fingers!
Unlike Hong Jinbao, Yuan Heping is as well versed in martial arts.
This person's accomplishments in martial arts scenes are not as good as the two above.
But!
This man was born into a magic family.
He was the action designer for "God of Gamblers" and "The God of Gamblers".
He is especially good at designing small hand movements and is particularly good at card skills. He is known as the King of Thousand Kings in the Hong Kong film industry.
It is completely different from other martial arts fingers who like hard bridges and hard horses, big openings and closings. He loves to shoot detailed movements, and his designs are extremely exquisite.
"Hello, Mr. Wang."
"Hello, Director Feng."
"Hello, Director Chen."
"Hello, Director Jiang..."< br>
After saying hello one by one, Xiao Wang turned his head and said something to Director Feng.
"The image is good."
"Yes, Mr. Wang, he just came from Zhou Xingchi's set." Feng Xiaogang was nice to him and mentioned it at the right time.
"Oh?" Xiao Wang looked at him again.
Although he is an investor, he hardly interferes with Xingye's creation.
But he also knew about his falling out with Hong Jinbao.
"Zhou Xingchi likes it, so he should have two brushes." Xiao Wang thought this way.
"Come on, you can start directly. The current role is a policeman disguised as a painter." Director Feng said without any nonsense.
Zhang Yuan picked up the drawing board, paper and pen beside him and sat on the armchair.
He glanced at the paper. There were a few irregular horizontal lines on it, which were very messy. They should have been painted by the person who auditioned before while pretending to draw.
He was also unambiguous, his eyes were firm, and he started writing.
Natural, relaxed and casual, as if he was the only one in the room, not like an audition, but like a street artist working at a stall.
After being "tortured" by Master Xing, he has made a lot of progress recently, especially in the naturalness of his performances.
Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.
The points collected are like thousands of books, and the pain of shooting that scene dozens of times by Master Xing is like traveling thousands of miles.
Director Feng glanced at the other three, who all had expressionless faces and remained silent.
"Okay, change the scene." Director Feng ordered again.
Before Zhang Yuan waited for him to continue, he took out a blank page of paper from the drawing board and handed it to him.
“What is this?”
“Painting, I am not a painter.”
Director Feng took it and looked at it, his expression tightened.
Mr. Xiao Wang looked sideways and then took it over with a chuckle.
Director Feng’s facial outline was simply outlined with a pencil on the paper.
Although the painting is rushed and concise, it is very vivid, especially the protruding thunder mouth.
Xiao Wang handed the painting to the remaining two people to look at.
The two also chuckled.
“You’re kidding me...” Director Feng sniffed.
"The painting is good." Mr. Xiao Wang said: "This painter really knows how to paint."
That's all from Xu Jingjiang, of course the painting is good. .
Although I know that the chance of winning this role is very small, if there is a chance to show off, I have to try my best.
Auditions are like peacocks showing off their talents.
If someone picks up on one of your specialties, you may not be needed in this drama. Maybe the next drama will remember you.
Leaving a deep impression is the most important thing!
Next, he was asked to try out a few more scenes of pretending to be chasing people with guns. The reactions of several people were tepid, far less curious than when they saw the painting.
“Okay, let’s change into another costume.”
It would be a waste of time to go to the dressing room, so the assistant had already put another set of clothes on the table nearby.
Anyway, he is the eldest man, and everyone here is also a gentleman, so it doesn’t matter if he changes on the spot.
What if it’s a woman?
Same!
Even if the director wants you to strip naked on the spot, you have to do it.
Unless you don't want to act anymore, or your background is big enough, you can avoid this happening.
He does not need to take off his clothes, he only needs to change his coat and put on the red hat of a certain tourist group.
"Thankfully it's not green..."
Zhang Yuan put on a beige coat and put on his hat. He turned around and walked towards the center of the room.
He hasn't even started to perform yet, but these two steps made the eyes of the four people present slightly move.
"After changing his clothes, his temperament... seems to have changed."
