This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 186

Joining the group was just a small episode. After talking on the phone with Fan Binbin, Ding Xiu began to enjoy the benefits brought by the Hundred Flowers Award.

TV interviews, media interviews, photo magazines, and commercial endorsements, all of a sudden her reputation has increased.

In April of Yangchun, when they returned to Beiping, Ding Xiu and Zhang Dahuzi made an appointment to audition Yang Guo.

"Ding Xiu, whether you should say it or not, your ancient costume is beautiful."

Looking at Ding Xiu who came out of the dressing room, Zhang Jizhong folded his hands on his chest, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.

His long gray hair is scattered behind his head, and there are a few sparse and messy dragon beards hanging on his forehead. His sword eyebrows are drawn into his temples, and his phoenix eyes are powerful. It may be that he has been running a lot in commercial performances, and he hasn't slept well recently. His face is a little pale and haggard. .

But this kind of haggardness is very in line with the shape of middle-aged Yang Guo.

If you look carefully, the eyes are deep, full of stories, and very calm.

This is very rare, usually the old plays the young, it is not easy to act that innocent, after all, after the age, it is not to say that it is joking or young, and some boys and girls are so cute that they think it is fake.

It is even more difficult to play the old when the young is young. At least the actors who played the young have experienced that period of youth. Those who have not gone through that period of time cannot understand the psychological changes of middle-aged and elderly people.

You can't even imagine it because it's really hard to empathize.

But this is not a problem with Ding Xiu, because Ding Xiu is usually a very mature person, when he is not talking, no matter where he sits, you can't connect him with young people.

Which young man in his twenties carries a thermos bottle all day, likes to bask in the sun and drink alcohol?
"Director Zhang won the award. In fact, my acting skills are also very good." Ding Xiu smiled, stood up and posed for a few poses, and took pictures for the photographer.

Zhang Jizhong said seriously: "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't just skip the audition and let you try on costumes."

Ding Xiu's acting skills are obvious to all, at least he has won the Cannes Award and the Hundred Flowers Award, not to mention how good it is, at least above the passing line, this is enough.

Popularity is also good. Since the beginning of spring this year, it has been very popular. This is a bonus item.

After several groups of photos were taken, Ding Xiu changed his outfit again, this time it was Yang Guo in his youth.

After shaving off his beard and putting on makeup, his features were delicate and gentle, which made Zhang Jizhong frown.

"Director Zhang, is there a problem?" Ding Xiu asked.

Walking around Ding Xiu, Zhang Jizhong stroked his chin and said, "It's not youthful enough."

It's strange, a young man has no pressure to play a middle-aged man, but it's not like playing a young man. This is the first time he has seen this situation in half his life.

The Condor Heroes in the early stage has a story about Yang Guo in his youth, and this part is naturally played by a child. The male protagonist's real appearance is after learning art from the Ancient Tomb School under the apprenticeship of Xiaolongnv.

According to the original book, Yang Guo entered the Ancient Tomb School at the age of fourteen, studied for more than a year, and was almost sixteen when he came out.

But TV dramas must not be cast by young people aged [-], because it is not suitable.

There is no problem in the early stage, but what about the middle-aged Yang Guo in the later stage?
Is it possible for a sixteen-year-old to act in his thirties? Of course it is impossible.

Therefore, in Zhang Jizhong's mind, Yang Guo's actor should be around twenty-five years old, with a certain reputation and acting skills.

Twenty-five years old is just out of college for two years, not very old, and he is still very young under makeup. If Yang Guo's age is mentioned a little bit, it can fit the role.

Twenty-five plays thirty-five, and the age difference of ten years old is not too big. At least there is no big problem with the appearance of the makeup. As for the tone of voice, voice, and emotions, it depends on whether you can be like a middle-aged person. actor acting.

Now Ding Xiu's problem is that he doesn't look like a young man, he is too mature, and this maturity mainly comes from his temperament.

It may be because of more cooperation and familiarity with each other, it is difficult for Zhang Jizhong to see in Ding Xiu the impetuousness, superficiality, and drive that young people should have.

"Youth feeling?" Ding Xiu was a little confused. Everyone's definition of youth is different. Who knows what aspect Zhang Jizhong was talking about. He is quite a boy every morning.

"Director Zhang, just tell me what you want."

Zhang Jizhong said: "Impulsive, rebellious, do whatever comes to your mind, can you do it?"

"It has to match the lines."

"Then let's try to make a few words."

Today is a test of Yang Guo's play, the script has been prepared long ago, I randomly found one, Zhang Jizhong handed it to Ding Xiu.

"Find your feelings and be ready to say something."

After receiving the script, Ding Xiu read it carefully. It was about Yang Guo's confession to the little dragon girl. He was emotionally agitated. He was quite young and brave.

Thinking of some past events, Ding Xiu shook his head and laughed.

This Yang Guo is fiercer than him.

Speaking of the similarities between the two, he used to have a master who was not much different in age. He was beautiful and had high martial arts skills. He taught them to practice martial arts very strictly.

Then apply bruises medicine wine to them at night.

To Ding Xiu when he was young, Master should be the most beautiful and gentle woman in the whole world.

If it weren't for the uncle who killed a thousand swords...

"Director Zhang, I'm ready."

"No more looking?"

"No need, just a few words."

"let's start."

Ding Xiu, who pursed his lips, looked affectionately, and said sonorously: "What is the title of master and apprentice, what is the name of innocence, we should all be farting! Fuck off!"

"Whether it's dead or alive, neither of us will suffer, and neither will be alone."

Taking a deep breath, Ding Xiu's lips trembled, and he said word by word:

"from now on!"

"You are not my master!"

"Not my aunt!"

"It's my wife!"

"It's my wife!"

These few outrageous, transgressive words in the eyes of the world came out of Ding Xiu's mouth, which made people's scalp tingle, and a group of staff members stared at him.

This suppressed yet released emotion, this moving lines, this emotion, this acting skill, is a proper actor level.

It seems that Yang Guo in the book is like this.

All of a sudden, Ding Xiu's personal image was much taller in their eyes.

Who said that people rely on their faces for food, but their acting skills are also very good.

"That's right, that's interesting." Zhang Jizhong was very satisfied with Ding Xiu's performance from the bottom of his heart: "Let's take pictures first."

Ding Xiu was allowed to take pictures, and Zhang Jizhong traveled thousands of miles, not knowing what to think.

Two hours later, the second audition person arrived.

"Hi, Director Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"Where, it's just a trial play. I also appreciate your persistence."

Nie Yuan, a popular young man, graduated from the Acting Department of STA in 2000. In the same year, he starred in the drama Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair, which became an instant hit.

In 01, it was broadcast as Tianxia Granary, playing the young Qianlong.

In 03, he played the role of Luo Cheng, the hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Last year was the year when he broke out. He successively starred in dramas such as Sweaty BMW, Four Young Masters in Beijing, Heroine, Zhenguan Changge, Top Ambition and Bao Qingtian, and his fame caught up with Ding Xiu.

In order to get the role of Yang Guo, he was preparing early, writing letters and calling Zhang Jizhong.

Big Beard Zhang also gave him a chance to audition, but he didn't pass.

This is the second time here.

The reason Zhang Dahuzi gave him a second chance was because Nie Yuan directly jumped to Ciwen, one of Shendiao's investors.

After all, he is the patron's father, so he still has to give the face that should be given.

"Huh." Zhang Jizhong looked at Nie Yuan a few more times, and found that his face was a little different from before, and he was even more handsome: "Have you cut your bones?"

Before, his masseter muscles were relatively large, and his cheeks were slightly wider.

This is also the reason why it was brushed down. Compared with Ding Xiu, the gap is too big.

At that time, Zhang Jizhong just mentioned his shortcoming casually, but he didn't expect to have his bones cut off when he came back.

It can only be said that he is a ruthless person.

"Yes." Nie Yuan admitted generously.

I'm not a fool, why can't I see it, I can't hide this kind of thing.

There is nothing to hide, everyone in the industry does not have plastic surgery, bone grinding, eye corner opening, double eyelid pulling, and face-lifting injections are commonplace.

Zhang Jizhong didn't get entangled in this matter. In fairness, he still likes this kind of actor, he is cruel enough to himself, not to mention his work.

Because the role is hard-won, it is also more cherished.

"Let's change clothes first."

After a long time, Nie Yuan came out wearing the suit that Ding Xiu tried on before.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, if Ding Xiu hadn't tried it before, he is indeed quite handsome.

Because he had already been bombarded by Ding Xiu's appearance, it's no surprise that not only the bearded man, but also the staff have seen it this time.

With a movement of his eyes, Zhang Dazi took out the line that Ding Xiu said in the play: "I'll give you five minutes, and I'll read it over in a while."

"Thank you, Director Zhang." Nie Yuan was excited. He was dismissed when he didn't get the words when he came here last time.

five minutes later.

"What kind of master-student status, what kind of reputation and innocence, we all treat it as a fart! Get the hell out of here!"

"Whether it's dead or alive, neither of us will suffer, and neither will be alone."

"From now on, you are not my master, not my aunt, but my daughter-in-law and my wife."

After the performance, Nie Yuan looked at Zhang Jizhong anxiously.

In fact, Zhang Jizhong didn't need to speak, the staff could tell that it was not fixed by Ding.

As for the difference, they can't tell, because Nie Yuan's performance is also very good, the words are correct, the cadence is up and down, and the emotions are also there. It is a passing existence in the feature film.

But compared with Ding Xiu, it almost feels like it.

Zhang Jizhong squeezed out a smiling face: "Take pictures first."

"Thank you director." Nie Yuan was overjoyed.

Of course, it is impossible to audition one person. There are many actors who come here one after another on this day, and they all rush to Yang.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day, try Guo Jing, try Gongsun Zhi, Yelu Chuqi, King Jinlun, Brother Wu Xiuwen...

Actors are actresses after they have tried.

Try Huang Rong's, Li Mochou's, Guo Fu's, Lu Wushuang's, Cheng Ying's, there are a lot of people in the hotel who audition for dramas every day.

The female No. [-] Little Dragon Girl is even more popular.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting alone at home, received a call from Zhang Jizhong, asking her to try the role of Little Dragon Girl.

Liu Yifei's Wang Yuyan left a deep impression on him when he was filming Tianlong Babu before. When he chose Little Dragon Girl this time, Liu Yifei was the first thing he thought of.

For this version of Little Dragon Girl, he intends to let young people play it.

Liu Yifei is eighteen years old, pure, beautiful, and photogenic in ancient costumes, no matter his age or appearance, he fits the role very well.

When Liu Yifei, with long hair draped around his waist and dressed in white, came out of the dressing room, Zhang Jizhong's belief became more firm.

"Director, can I use the props for the talented swordsmanship I want to perform?"

With red lips and white teeth, pure and beautiful, Liu Yifei pointed to the weapon rack and said softly.

Zhang Jizhong's eyes lit up: "Do you know martial arts?"

Martial arts director and martial arts instructor Zhao Jian smiled when he heard this, but said nothing.

He was a martial arts director when he was in Tianlong Babu, and he also participated in the martial arts guidance work. He knows whether Liu Yifei knows martial arts better than anyone else.

Bacheng is the set of swordsmanship that Ding Xiu taught her during the training.

"A little bit." Liu Yifei nodded.

"Come on, let's show it." The bearded Zhang looked excited.

For martial arts films, martial arts plays are the most important. There are many scenes of Little Dragon Girl. Whether it is literary or martial arts, if Liu Yifei passes the martial arts, it can save the crew a lot of time and avoid a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, Liu Yifei picked up the long sword and performed a sword dance on the spot. He was as graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming, with a graceful figure and elegant swordsmanship. In a word, beauty.

She is very familiar with this set of swordsmanship. She used this set of swordsmanship to impress the whole school during military training in the freshman year of Beidian University, and it is still a legend to this day.

"Beautiful!" After the sword dance, Zhang Jizhong applauded, turned to Zhao Jian and said, "What do you think?"

Zhao Jian smiled: "Little Dragon Girl is the perfect candidate."

"I think so too." Zhang Jizhong made a decision on the spot, and gave Little Dragon Girl to Liu Yifei: "Go back and adjust the schedule, and the script and contract will be sent to you later, just let me know if you have any requirements."

After not practicing for a long time, Liu Yifei wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Director Zhang, may I ask who is the number one male?"

Filming is not just about the director, the investment, the script, but also the rival actors. When she meets someone she doesn’t like or hates, she would rather not act.

On the contrary, if the rival actor is someone she likes and respects more, she can ask for less pay.

No way, who told her that filming is a hobby, and the family is not short of money.

"It hasn't been decided yet." Zhang Jizhong struggled: "There are currently three actors to be determined, and we are also discussing who to use."

Liu Yifei was curious: "Which three?"

"Nie Yuan, Ding Xiu, Huang Xiaoming."

Nie Yuan is from the investor, Huang Xiaoming is supported by Yu Min, director of literary and opera, and Ding Xiu, director of martial arts, is supported by Zhao Jian.

The directors under him all had different opinions, and Zhang Jizhong had a headache.

"Biao, Brother Xiu." Liu Yifei smiled happily, "His martial arts is so good, he must be suitable for Yang Guo."

"Do you think so too?" Zhang Jizhong asked.

Liu Yifei nodded heavily: "Well, I have filmed several scenes with him, the cooperation is very pleasant, and he also gave me a lot of things."

Zhang Jizhong pondered: "That kid is indeed very powerful."

Zhao Jian made up his sword: "It's not just amazing. In terms of martial arts scenes alone, I have never seen anyone who is better than him in the entertainment industry. Don't we have a lot of horse riding scenes in this show? Ding Xiu can ride a horse, so he can save money." A lot of work."

"That's right." Zhao Jian looked at Liu Yifei: "You also have a horse riding scene, which is a real ride. When the time comes, the crew will arrange training in a unified manner. Can you overcome it?"

Riding a horse is still quite difficult, and the degree of danger is relatively high. Many artists would rather hang Wia than ride.

Tired and bitter, the fall from the horse was still serious, ranging from lying in bed for two days, to severe injuries, and recuperating for a year and a half.

"I..." Liu Yifei hesitated, and said hesitantly, "If brother Xiu is on the set and he teaches me, I think I'll be fine."

Zhang Jizhong and Zhao Jian looked at each other.
