Director: Female stars want to improve too much

Chapter 1 Use this to test new actors?

December 1999.

Beijing International Airport.

Xing Baizhou looked at the very period Nokia advertisement and couldn't help but shouted with excitement: "I, Hu Hansan, am back!"

……

Although not loud.

But it was still heard by people who were closer.

Among them were a middle-aged fat man with a beard and a girl pushing a suitcase.

"Huh? Hu Hansan?"

The bearded man didn't know who was shouting, so he shook his head and cursed with a smile: "Hu Hansan is not a good guy, why did he choose this name..."

The female assistant next to him looked at Xing Baizhou's face and chuckled: "Maybe it's a joke, but he's quite handsome!"

The bearded man blew his beard and glared, shook his head and said, "You look at handsome guys everywhere you go... Where, I want to see what Hu Hansan looks like?"

"Here, Director Zhang!"

The female assistant pointed behind her to where the handsome man Xing was standing. The bearded man also looked over and found a tall and handsome young man with a heroic spirit between his brows.

Seeing Xing Baizhou, Zhang Jizhong's mind suddenly flashed back to Jin Yong's description of Lin Pingzhi in Swordsman: pure and innocent, childish and indulgent, gentle and elegant, sinister and crazy.

Zhang Jizhong immediately shouted, the sound was so loud that half of the people in the square heard him: "Hey, stop, kid."

His voice is unusually loud.

The security personnel on duty nearby were quickly alerted.

An anti-pocket police officer and two security guards saw Zhang Jizhong chasing a young man, and the word "thief" suddenly came to mind.

The three of them quickly surrounded Xing Baizhou.

At this time, the handsome boy Xing was walking to the taxi stand with his parents, completely unaware that two groups of people were chasing him.

The security situation in 1999 was much worse than in later generations, especially in places like train stations and airports, where there were many thieves.

and.

Thieves in this era are very skilled. Not to mention putting the money in the inner pocket of the jacket, even if it is sewn on the underwear, they can take away the money.

"Catch the thief!" the security guard shouted while chasing.

"Ah? Catch the thief?" Xing Baizhou was still waiting to watch the excitement, but found that something was starting to go wrong, "Fuck, they are all coming at me..."

Soon, the anti-pocket police and security guards surrounded him, "Young man, he looks like a college student, right? How can he steal something?"

the policeman asked kindly.

Xing Baizhou only has three words to say at this moment: Sun dog! ! But he knew that they were also responsible, so he couldn't say anything.

I'm going to explain a few words.

But right now.

A familiar bearded man stood in front of him. Xing Baizhou recognized Zhang Jizhong and sighed to himself: "What a coincidence."

……

Shortly after.

Zhang Dabeard explained the whole story, and the policeman saluted Xing Baizhou, "I'm really sorry for accidentally arresting a future star."

Xing Baizhou smiled and shook his head: "You are also responsible...and what's more, I'm not a star, just an ordinary senior high school student."

"Haha, when you film director Zhang's film, you will be extraordinary. If you are popular, I am very good at judging people..." After the policeman finished speaking, he went to talk to Zhang Dabeard again: "I love watching "Water Margin" produced by you. …”

Men in the capital are very chatty... It took seven or eight minutes before Xing Baizhou started talking to Zhang Jizhong.

Zhang Jizhong explained the reason.

But when he saw that Xing Baizhou was not as excited as he imagined, he was a little more optimistic and thought to himself, "This guy must have a little money in his family and he has seen the world."

Zhang Jizhong: "Have you passed the Nortel preliminary examination?"

Xing Baizhou: "Yes, Director Zhang, he passed by luck."

Zhang Jizhong: "Very good. Judging from your temperament, you should be able to pass the exam. Do you have time to audition for a role in "The Swordsman"?"

The parents of Xing Baizhou next to them did not know Zhang Jizhong, and they were afraid that their son would be deceived. The couple planned to go back and persuade their son not to be deceived.

How can there be such a good thing as a pie in the sky? !
  But at this moment, facing Zhang Jizhong's invitation, it was a rare opportunity even for the reborn Xing Baizhou.

Today, he is not much different from an ordinary high school student.

He has no father who is a great director, no strong capital, and he cannot remember the stock market trends. He only has a little inheritance left after the death of his aunt who immigrated to the United States in his early years. This time he and his parents went to the United States for this purpose. He doesn't pay much attention to football. Even in the 02 World Cup, he didn't know who won the championship. He definitely couldn't buy lottery tickets... Although he knew that the national football team won the duck egg in three group matches, it was of no use.

Because it is not easy to make money from the national football team... The odds given by the lottery company are very low. If you spend 100 million to buy the national football team and lose, you may make about .

Xing Baizhou, who returned to 1999, only had decades more life experience than his peers. In terms of advantages... there were not many.

If I have to say it, it is the film and television treasure house in my mind for the next twenty years, as well as the experience in directing that I accumulated during my years as a young director.

Now that Zhang Jizhong came to him, it was a good thing. First, he could make money, and second, he could get into the industry quickly.

Even if you play a small supporting role, it still costs several thousand yuan, right? In this era, a few thousand yuan is considered a lot of money, and ordinary workers only earn a few hundred yuan a month.

You're a bastard who doesn't make money.

Another one, after participating in "The Swordsman", will be admitted to Nortel in September next year. The starting point will be much higher than that of the 9-level students.

When the time came to introduce themselves at the beginning of the school year, Dong Ao, Zhang Songwen, Dao Ge, Yiyiwei, Che Xiao and other classmates were so high-pitched that they could only say "Brother Xing is awesome".

Zhang Dabeard chatted with him for five minutes and then had to leave. Before leaving, he asked his assistant to tell Xing Baizhou about the time and place of the audition.

Get this done.

As soon as he returned to Lao Xing and his wife, he saw their worried expressions... Lao Xing earnestly advised him not to dream of pie-in-the-sky ideas, but to be down-to-earth...

Although the old couple was not highly educated, they were sincere and there were some truths in their simple words. Xing Baizhou did not refute them.

At that time in his previous life...he couldn't even hear the nagging.

until night.

Xing Baizhou found an entertainment newspaper with Zhang Jizhong's photo from the newsstand owner, and then Lao Xing believed that his son was really going to act.

……

As the winter vacation approached, Zhang Jizhong's assistant called and asked him to go to a hotel conference room in Chaoyang for an interview the next day.

When I arrived at the audition site, I realized that there were quite a few people auditioning, including Sun Mouying who played Tian Boguang, Peng Denghuai who played Yu Canghai...

What attracted his most attention was Li Jie, a 1997 student from Nortel, who played the role of Lin Pingzhi.

I have to say, he is a bit handsome.

But it's still a lot worse than him.

not far away.

When Li Jie saw Xing Baizhou entering the conference room, his heart was beating wildly: "Is he also auditioning for Lin Pingzhi??"

The pressure came to Li Jie instantly.

Entering the room, the female assistant handed Xing Baizhou a piece of paper. Only then did he realize that the person auditioning was actually Lin Pingzhi...

This is one of the most outstanding supporting roles in "The Swordsman" apart from the protagonists. His reputation is second only to Dongfang Bubai.

But at the same time, it is also one of the most difficult characters to present. Not only does it have fighting scenes, but its personality changes greatly and the character grows very quickly.

This is a big challenge for new actors.

therefore,

Zhang Jizhong had just found many people to audition. This was already the 18th one he had seen, and Li Jie outside the door was the 19th one.

Zhang Jizhong, director Huang Jianxin, and martial arts instructor Yuan Bing lowered their heads and said a few words. The other two people looked at Xing Baizhou.

Yuan Bing asked: "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Xing Baizhou shook his head: "I haven't practiced before."

Yuan Bing said with a smile: "Your physical condition is better than that of Zhao Wenzhuo. It would be a pity not to practice martial arts."

Director Huang Jianxin took over:
  "Producer Zhang said you look similar to Lin Pingzhi... but I don't know how your acting skills are. Read the script for a minute and show us your skills."

The script has no lines...

There is only one paragraph: [Lin Ping drew his sword from the palace on the night of his bridal chamber]

Xing Baizhou felt cold after reading it...

The crew is so cruel.

Do you use this to test new actors?
