Actor: My Entertainment Era

When the child was born and Liu Yifei was recuperating in the confinement center, Elder Yu came to visit her. Later, Zhang Yuanjun called Yu Feihong to tell her about it. Although Teacher Yu said that she didn't know about it, Zhang Yuanjun accepted the favor. He wouldn't say that he accepted Elder Yu's favor.

At that time, Yu Feihong joked that she wanted Zhang Yuanjun to write a role for her as a way of repaying the favor, and Zhang Yuanjun agreed.

"I was just talking at that time, but you took it seriously." After hearing what Zhang Yuanjun wanted to say, Yu Feihong smiled and said, "I'll make you some tea. It's good tea. I wouldn't be willing to give it to ordinary people." Yu Feihong walked aside and offered tea to Zhang Yuanjun.

Yu Feihong lived alone, raising flowers and plants and taking care of pets, looking very free and easy. She turned her head and saw Zhang Yuanjun touching her dog, and smiled and said, "You should also have a dog at home."

"Yes, a cat and a dog. Yifei likes them and she is the one who takes care of them usually." Liu Yifei still picks up stray cats and dogs, but she doesn't bring them home. She puts them in her mother's pet shop.

This time, Zhang Yuanjun invited Yu Feihong to play the second female role in "Swan Elegy", Dr. Zhang, who cloned the protagonist.

It is really difficult for an actress of Yu Feihong's age to get the role of the female lead. In the past two years, Yu Feihong has also started to play mothers and supporting roles.

The role of Dr. Zhang is not outstanding. He is just an ordinary supporting role with neither too many nor too few scenes.

But movies like "Swan Song" are quite attractive.

Many actors don’t actually have much initiative in accepting roles, and there aren’t that many good roles offered to them in the market, so most of the time they just accept any offer that’s okay.

There are also many big-name actors who voluntarily act in low-budget productions or films directed by new directors.

Before Xiaoming won the award, how many ordinary audiences knew that he played a role in "Sunshine Club"? He played a mentally retarded patient?
The director of "Swan Elegy", Kong Dashan, was completely unknown in the circle and was a newcomer who had just graduated from graduate school.

But it doesn’t matter. Science fiction themes are very fresh. Yu Feihong has never acted in one, and she is also interested in this new theme.

Yu Feihong smiled and said, "You drink your tea, I'll read the script." Then he put on his glasses and started reading the script.

"You're just old?"

"I'm almost 50, so it's normal to have presbyopia," Yu Feihong said with a smile, then lowered his head to continue reading the script.

The industry recognizes Zhang Yuanjun's screenwriting ability and his scripts are in high demand, but Zhang Yuanjun does not always come up with scripts of the same level as "The Invisible Guest" and "Fragments of a Woman".

"Swan Elegy" is not a stunning script. It has a linear narrative, a classic three-act structure, and a steady rhythm. Apart from the subject matter, the core of the story is the classic love and letting go.

But such a stable and solid script is rare in the circle nowadays.

"This story is quite good," Yu Feihong put it down after watching 1/3 of it. "I'll take it. When will it start filming?"

"It will take at least the second half of the year." Kong Dashan had just taken over the crew, and the progress was not fast. "I was going to bring our director to see you today, but he is hiding in the studio with our art designer."

"It's okay. I'll go see him when I have time." Yu Feihong said.

After talking about the play, Zhang Yuanjun sat for a while and then left.

On the other hand, Liu Yifei is going to meet with the casting director today for two young actors. In "Now on My Way to See You", the male and female protagonists also have a campus scene, and they need to find young actors to perform.

The two parties agreed to meet at Liu Yifei and her husband's studio.

Liu Yifei and the casting director arrived first. The casting director told Liu Yifei: "There are many young actors born after 95 or even 00 who have approached us to audition for this play."

“People born after 00 are acting now?” Liu Yifei said with a smile, “It seems that we are getting old.”

"Especially actresses, when they heard that you were going to play your student days, many came to audition." Playing Liu Yifei in her student days would be easier for marketing, and she could seriously be called "Little Liu Yifei." This is a joke, who would be bored enough to consider this.

“There are even Bay Island actresses auditioning for our play?”

"Wandao?" Liu Yifei was not very familiar with Wandao.

“It’s that Ouyang Nana. She tried to play Han Lin when she was a teenager.” The casting director went on, “But she spoke with a Taiwanese accent, so we couldn’t point it out on the spot, so we asked her to go back and wait for news.” Peng Yuyan’s downfall was more or less related to Zhang Yuanjun. The capital behind him wanted to take revenge on Zhang Yuanjun but could not find a suitable opportunity, so they just left it alone.

But the film and television capital of Taiwan Island is not only Peng's faction. Peng's capital does not deal with Zhang Yuanjun, but other factions still want to get in touch with Zhang Yuanjun, the first movie star in the mainland. What can't be discussed in business? How can there be deep hatred?
Ouyang Nana wanted to act in Liu Yifei's movie, and her agent even said that he could only take half of the salary in the contract.

Although "Now on My Way to See You" was a low-budget production, the company was not short of money.

Liu Yifei + romance movie, the outside world believes that this movie will basically not lose money and it is too easy to attract investment.

"We should still find actresses from the mainland." Liu Yifei has no prejudice against Taiwanese actresses, but she also knows that Ouyang Nana has a strong Taiwanese accent, and she doesn't want to trouble her.

As they were talking, the staff brought in the mother and daughter.

"Sorry, I'm late." Mother spoke first.

When she saw the person coming, Liu Yifei smiled first: "Maimai, come and sit down." Of course she knew Zhao Jinmai.

"Has The Wandering Earth finished filming?" She knew that Guo Fan and Wu Jing were still in Qingdao.

Zhao Jinmai said: "I finished filming last September. They are now filming the space scenes in Qingdao, and I am not included."

Zhao Jinmai's mother said, "It's winter vacation now, and I heard that you want young actors to play students. Let's take a look."

Zhao Jinmai doesn’t have an agency yet. She works alone and her agent is her mother.

"No problem," he glanced at Zhao Jinmai's resume and handed the five-page script to Zhao Jinmai. "You have 20 minutes to read through the script, and then we'll talk about our understanding of the role and the audition. Mother Zhao, please step aside for a moment."

"Okay, no problem." Mother Zhao was led out of the room by the staff.

The reason why Zhao's mother was asked to avoid the show was because "Now on My Way to See You" was a love story, and the hero and heroine were very ambiguous when they were teenagers. Zhao Jinmai was at that age, and she might have a crush on someone. Asking her to talk about campus ambiguity in front of her mother might make the girl embarrassed.

Zhao Jinmai stayed in the audition room for almost an hour before coming out.

"Maimai, how is it?"

"They told me to go back and wait for news, saying that the role would be finalized by Yuanxiao at the latest."

"It's okay, don't feel pressured. Let's go back and talk about it after the New Year." This was Zhao Jinmai's last audition in Beijing.

Just as Zhao Jinmai stood up to leave, he saw another male actor coming over.

"Hu Xianxu!"

"Maimai!"

The two knew each other and had worked together on "Little Farewell".

"How did you come?"

"I'm here for an audition today. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to audition too. We're not auditioning for the same play, are we?"

"It must be. Did you try it?"

"They asked me to go back and wait for news."

The two children were familiar with each other, and the parents of both sides had also met and chatted for a while, and then Hu Xianxu went to audition. (End of this chapter)
