Entertainment: God-level director

After attending a business event, Zhang Ziyi returned to the backstage and took back her mobile phone from her assistant.

After unlocking, I saw a new message on WeChat. I clicked on it and saw the message from Wang Ziwen.

“Ziyi, Lin Ran intends to let you play an important role in the new film. The script has been sent to your email. After reading the script, prepare for the audition.”

Zhang Ziyi was overjoyed when she saw this news.

It can be said that Zhang Ziyi is a Chinese actress who has truly entered Hollywood. She has starred in A-level heroines. Unlike Fan Binbin and Jing Tian, who have played a supporting role in blockbusters.

It stands to reason that she would not be overjoyed at the news of Lin Ran’s new film audition.

But now, she is in an awkward position where she cannot achieve anything high or low.

She has long since returned to China from Hollywood to develop her career, and she has been unable to win Hollywood awards. There are resources there.

And in China, there are very few big productions, especially reliable big productions.

In recent years, most of the films she has starred in have received average reviews, and even big bad films, such as Wu Baige’s”The Taiping Wheel””, Zhang Yibai’s”Running for Love”, etc.

If it weren’t for the Sunglasses King’s”The Grandmaster”, which won her many awards, her reputation would probably be bad.

And Lin Ran’s movies have always achieved both reputation and box office success..With the foundation laid by”Super Body”, Lin Ran’s new film will definitely be more popular around the world. For Zhang Ziyi, who is currently in an embarrassing situation, it is definitely a great blessing after a long drought. Therefore, she received Lin Ran’s new film. The news of the audition made Zhang Ziyi, who had always been calm, couldn’t help but beam with joy. She couldn’t wait to open the mailbox on her phone, then clicked on the script to read it.

“Good idea!”

Before the script, there was a general introduction. After reading the introduction, Zhang Ziyi’s eyes lit up.

From her professional perspective, she knew that this was not a completely mindless science fiction blockbuster, but it also had a bit of humanistic and family affection. Explore inside.

For an actor like Zhang Ziyi, this kind of idea is obviously more attractive than being completely mindless and cool, and it is also easier to win awards.

“Lin Ran is so young, can he film well? This is something that many big Hollywood directors can’t do well.”

Zhang Ziyi became a little worried again.

But when she thought about the movie”I’m Not the God of Medicine”, she immediately put down her worries.

Then, she read the script seriously.

Naturally, the actors cannot see the complete script before signing the contract. In order to avoid leaking the script, I could only see the part of the script for my character.

Therefore, it didn’t take long for Zhang Ziyi to finish reading it.

“This is a good book!”

After reading the script, Zhang Ziyi was immediately attracted to it.

In the script, Murphy obviously has a growth trajectory from teenager to middle age to old age, and as the daughter of the male protagonist, she is the maintenance point of family ties in the film. , a very important role.

At this moment, her assistant suddenly shouted:”Sister, it’s bad, it was revealed on the Internet that Director Lin is still in contact with Zhou Xun!”

“What?”

Zhang Ziyi was shocked and quickly logged into Weibo.

Seeing the same picture of Lin Ran and Zhou Xun leaving the restaurant, Zhang Ziyi immediately gritted her teeth. Based on her experience, she didn’t know that these hot searches were bought by Zhou Xun’s team to build momentum.

She had seen this trick too many times.

Zhang Ziyi didn’t know if Lin Ran was really in contact with Zhou Xun, but it was rare for her to encounter a good script from a big production and she couldn’t take any chances.

Therefore, Zhang Ziyi immediately became nervous She got up and began to study the script seriously.

After returning home, she did not rest and continued to study the script. She stayed up all night and wrote a biography of more than 20,000 words. After only two or three hours of rest, she went to Ran without stopping. Dream Pictures went to audition

“Miss Zhang, you just got the script yesterday, so there’s no need to be in such a hurry to audition.”

Lin Ran was very surprised to see Zhang Ziyi come to the audition so quickly.

“Director Lin, I like this script so much that I can’t wait to do it.”

Zhang Ziyi smiled awkwardly. She also knew that she was too eager.

But there was no way, there were so many people coveting the role of Lin Ran in the new film.

If she was too late and was cut off by others, she would want to cry. No more tears.

Afraid that Lin Ran would think she was unprepared, Zhang Ziyi took out a stack of printed documents from her bag

“Director Lin, this is a character biography that I read the script last night and stayed up late to write.”

“Hey, you wrote a lot?”

Lin Ran was really surprised.

I just sent the script to Zhang Ziyi yesterday afternoon, and not even a day has passed yet, and I have written so many biographies. It seems that I have really worked hard.

“It is more than 20,000 words. I was inspired by the script after reading it, and I didn’t finish it until about five o’clock in the morning.”

Zhang Ziyi said lightly, as if this was nothing.

Cruel enough!

Lin Ran secretly thought in her heart that she is indeed Zhang’s empress, with a ruthless energy about her.

Lin Ran took the biography and read it quickly , I have to say that Zhang Ziyi’s business ability is absolutely passable, and her understanding of the role is very thorough, and this is even when she can only see part of the script. The two communicated face to face, and Lin Ran was also very satisfied.

In the end , Lin Ran auditioned her again and chose a more difficult section. Zhang Ziyi still performed well.

“Miss Zhang, I am very satisfied with your performance. I believe you can interpret the role of Murphy well, but……”

Lin Ran suddenly changed the topic.

The smile on Zhang Ziyi’s face faltered, and she looked at Lin Ran nervously.

“There are a lot of special effects in the new film, and the production budget is not that abundant, so I can only offer you a salary of 1 million US dollars. Lin

Ran finally said

“no problem!”

Zhang Ziyi agreed without hesitation.

For her status, a salary of 1 million US dollars is indeed too small, but starring in Lin Ran’s movie is not to get a high salary, but to stabilize her status. etc. As long as the box office of this sci-fi blockbuster reaches the level of”Super Body” when it is released, she will be on the radar of Hollywood again and earn more than the $1 million by then.

“Then sign the contract. After signing, I will give you the complete script. You can go back and study it carefully.”

Zhang Ziyi signed the contract without hesitation and finally felt relieved.

“Don’t worry, Director Lin, I won’t be accepting any new books in the near future.”Zhang Ziyi smiled.

Lin Ran nodded.

After chatting for a few more words, Zhang Ziyi left Ranmeng Pictures with the contract and the complete script.

However, as soon as she walked out of the building, she was surrounded by waiting reporters.
