my movie years

Chapter 241 Two Characters
Starting from "Soldier Assault" in 2006, Zhang Yi has made continuous progress step by step, and has successively starred in TV series such as "My Leader, My Regiment", "Life and Death", and "Wenzhou Family".

He has also played supporting roles in several movies, and his career as an actor is fairly stable.

Although not as famous as Baoqiang, but his footsteps are solid and his acting skills are quite good, and he is gradually appreciated by several major directors.

However, on this day in July 2015, Zhang Yi's career as an actor ushered in a change, because the invitation to audition for the male lead in the new project of the great director Zhang Hao was sent to him.

"Brother Yi, this is Director Zhang's new project, a sci-fi movie with a lot of investment and production." The assistant said from the side:
"I heard that I sent audition invitations to you and Shen Teng. You two are the only candidates for the male lead."

Zhang Yi is also very excited, and there are not many opportunities to cooperate with Zhang Hao.He read the outline of the script, and the story is very attractive.

It is the story of the male protagonist struggling to survive on Mars alone. In the background introduction, the male protagonist Ma Juemin is a botanist and a mechanical engineer.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yi told his assistant: "Xiao Zhao, help me find some books and materials on botany and mechanical engineering. It is best to find a teacher in related fields."

"Okay, don't worry Brother Yi, I'll do it right away." The assistant turned around and went to look for relevant materials and teachers.

This is a habit of Zhang Yi. Before taking on the play, understand the background and personality of the characters and prepare well.In general, this is the quality that all good actors have,

But in many cases, whether a movie or TV show is bad depends on the director and screenwriter, and actors often act according to the director's requirements.

Small directors and actors can also mention their own ideas, but a big director like Zhang Hao, even a first-line superstar dare not act in accordance with Zhang Hao's ideas.

This is not a matter of a play, it is related to whether you can continue to cooperate with a great director like Zhang Hao.

Similarly, Shen Teng also received an invitation to audition.

All the happy people were stunned, which means that Shen Teng has entered the sight of mainstream commercial movies.This is not only the success of Shen Teng, but also the success of Happy Twist.

"Sure, Tengzi, you have been spotted by Director Zhang." Mary was pleasantly surprised by her partner: "Don't forget us if you win the role this time!"

Shen Teng was also happy, his mouth wandered when he spoke: "Don't worry, I won't forget you."

It may be that he has turned from a small actor to a film director. Shen Teng has not yet turned the corner, so there is not much in-depth research on the role of Ma Juemin.

From Shen Teng's point of view, he acts as the director says, and the matter is very simple.

However, it was precisely because of this that his performance in the audition was not as good as Zhang Yi, and he missed the opportunity, but this was only one of the reasons.

At the audition scene, after watching Shen Teng's audition performance, Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "To be honest, Brother Teng, your performance style has a strong sense of sketch, and your audition performance is not very good.

And you don't have a deep understanding of the characters. Although our play is a comedy style, it is not the main funny line.

In the comedy part, you are a little too hard, and in the detailed and serious plot part, you seem too pale. "

When Shen Teng heard what Zhang Hao said, he knew that he was not destined for the role, so he had to say: "I understand, thank you director, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again next time."

"Don't do it next time, just this time, you will be in "Knives Out" and partner with Sun Honglei as the male number two." Zhang Hao thought for a while, and handed over the role of the son-in-law in "Knives Out" to Shen Teng.

Shen Teng originally thought that he had missed the opportunity to cooperate with Zhang Hao, but unexpectedly, Zhang Hao handed over the main role of another project to him.

Although he is not the number one male, being able to participate in Zhang Hao's movie is a huge success, and Shen Teng immediately agreed.

Shen Teng returned to Happy Twist with a look of disappointment.

Mary asked with concern: "What's the matter, Teng Zi, did you fail the audition?"

"That's right," Shen Teng said dejectedly, "I didn't get the role."

Mary was also disappointed, and was about to comfort Shen Teng, but Shen Teng gasped for breath: "But I got a role in Director Zhang's other play, the male lead."

"I'll go." Mary jumped up from her seat and patted Shen Teng's shoulder vigorously: "It's a good thing, I treat you tonight, you must treat me."

"A treat is a treat..."

So, Shen Teng invited everyone to have a meal to celebrate his participation in Zhang Hao's project.

This is where Zhang Hao's projects are in demand now. Everyone knows that starring in his movie means that your career as an actor has advanced a lot.

So sometimes actors are willing to lower their pay to star in the works of major directors. The pay can be made up from advertising endorsements and other projects.

But opportunities to star in big projects with big directors don't come around very often.

Compared with Shen Teng's twists and turns, Zhang Yi's audition went much smoother. Almost from the very beginning, Zhang Hao was sure that Zhang Yi was the candidate he wanted.

"Not bad, Brother Zhang Yi," Zhang Hao praised Zhang Yi after watching Zhang Yi's audition performance, "The comedy part and the serious part are well balanced, and you can actually dance in the square."

Zhang Yi is older than Zhang Hao, so it’s okay to call Zhang Yi brother, but actors can’t bear it. Whoever dares to use the advantage of age to make a fuss has no EQ.

In terms of emotional intelligence, Zhang Yi has always been very good.

"Director, you can just call me Zhang Yi." Zhang Yi smiled, and then said: "In the character biography sent to me by the crew, there is something about the main character who can dance in the square, so I will learn it."

"Very good," Zhang Hao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go back and get ready, go to the gym first, you can't survive on Mars if you are too thin.

It's going to be tough shooting this show, so you have to be prepared. "

"I understand, I'm ready at any time." Zhang Yi assured.

The battle for the hero of "The Martian" came to an end. Although there is no official announcement, the news has already spread in the circle.

Everyone interested in this project had to secretly curse Zhang Yi's good luck, and then competed more fiercely for other roles.

"You tell them that the crew has to invest a lot of money into the production, and they can't pay too much for the film." Zhang Hao said to Liu Hao when casting the cast.

Liu Hao said with a smile: "Don't worry, they are all sensible people, the salary is not important, what matters is the opportunity to cooperate with you."

This is indeed the case. Many celebrities lower their salaries just to participate in Zhang Hao's projects, even if it's just to show their face.

Under such circumstances, the small project "Knife Out of the Sheath" has become an all-star lineup, and Sun Honglei, Sister Shenxian, Shen Teng, Ni Dahong, Hui Hongying, Ye Dexian, Hua Tsai and others are initially set to star and guest star.

Even without affecting the casting, Du Jiang, Ou Hao, Peng Yuyan and others were stuffed in.

But in terms of the most luxurious, it still belongs to "The Martian".

At the end of July, Zhang Hao took the crew of "Knives Out" to Hong Kong Island to officially start filming, and Tianmi Film and Television Production Company also officially released the poster of "The Martian" and announced the starring lineup.

Zhang Yi is the leading actor, many movie fans don't know this person, and many who recognize him don't know his name.

Da Mimi plays the commander of the Mars exploration team, and the long hair raised after the end of "Gravity" was cut short again.

Regardless of such a trivial matter as cutting hair, many post-[-]s and post-[-]s actresses have idol burdens and cannot make up their minds.

On the contrary, it is a big power, who can cut it as soon as he says it, without any hesitation.

This is also the reason why Da Mi Mi overwhelms the fairy sister and is more popular with passers-by.In the eyes of passers-by, Da Mi Mi has less sense of distance than other high-ranking post-[-] actresses, and is more like an actor.

It is true, after all, she is recognized as the best acting in Eight Five Flowers. She has won three Best Actress trophies, and also won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor Award.

If in the previous life, you said that Da Mi Mi was the best acting in Eight Five Flowers, and could laugh a lot of people to death.

But now, it is no longer a problem to say that there is great power.

By the way, the battle between Da Mimi and Lao Fan for the number one actress seems to have been decided now, and Da Mimi looks like he is going to win.

The reason is simple, that is, business performance.

Da Mi Mi starred in Brother Cheng Long's new film "Jedi Escape", although the quality of the film is honestly very average.

But relying on the young brother Cheng Long and the powerful appeal of Da Mi Mi, the film won 4.31 million box office in the first week.

By the time Lao Fan's new film "Dynasty's Woman: Concubine Yang" was released, "Jedi Exodus" had already been released for ten days, with a box office of 7.35 million.

Da Mi Mi proved her box office appeal once again, although it has the credit of Brother Cheng Long.

But only Zhang Hao knew that in his previous life, Da Mi Mi did not participate, but Lao Fan starred, and the film won a total box office of 8.8 million.

As soon as Da Mi Mi participates, the box office of the film can exceed one billion, which is enough to prove the appeal of Da Mi Mi.

The outside world doesn't know about this, but they know that Da Mi Mi is a lucky star at the box office, and the box office of films with her participation can't be lower.

As a result, more invitations were sent to Da Mi Mi, and the backlog of scripts, even if Da Mi Mi shoots throughout the year, can be filmed until 2030.

Although Da Mi Mi takes on the show, Zhang Hao has never interfered much, but Da Mi Mi will often ask Zhang Hao for his opinion.

In this one, she took over a costume action martial arts film "Xiu Chun Knife: Asura Battlefield".

There are too many modern dramas, and occasionally I have to try costume dramas, which is a good choice.

Speaking of Lao Fan's new film, this time she was completely crushed by Da Mi Mi. "The Woman of Dynasty: Concubine Yang" had a box office of 9227 million in the first week, which is already the result of the support of Lao Fan's many fans.

In the second week, the box office dropped sharply, from 2000 million in a single day in the first week to less than 500 million in a single day.

The scale of investment in the film is huge, and this box office performance seems to be going down the drain.

However, from Lao Fan's participation in various activities, she didn't see that she was depressed and depressed, but rather happy.

Outsiders scolded this film very harshly, and even the tenth projection room of the main station directly stated that this film is just a film for Lao Fan to fulfill his princess dream.

As everyone knows, these outsiders don't know the real inside story.

"Dynasty's Woman: Concubine Yang" claims to invest [-] million yuan, but the real investment is only about [-] million yuan, and the remaining [-] million yuan is missing.

There are some inside stories that are worth pondering, but not many people know about it, and only Lao Fan's hard-core confidants know about it.

Among them, many funds have been transferred to foreign cooperative companies, which means it is self-evident.

Therefore, the public laughed at Lao Fan for losing to Da Mi Mi, but they didn't know that Lao Fan no longer cared about winning or losing.

As long as you have money and resources, your fame and status will come back sooner or later.
