Zhang Yimou had been troubled recently.
The movie that he was preparing to shoot," A Thousand Miles of Riding Alone," had already started filming before the new year. Most of the male and female leads had already been confirmed, but he had been unable to find a suitable candidate for the second male lead.
It was also because of the selection of the leading actors that Zhang Yimou calculated that the overall investment was 50 million yuan. There was no extra budget to pay the second male lead.
However, Old Moe didn't think much about this role. He respected the screenwriter and had always wanted to find an amateur to play it.
The so-called amateurs were those who had never been on the big screen.
Relying on Old Moe's fame, the box office appeal was actually enough. Adding an A-list actor was just that. On the contrary, it would add a huge sum of salary expenses.
However, after asking the entire film market and schools, he still couldn't find a suitable actor.
It was just that the requirements of this role were a little special.
It was almost March, and the filming time was getting closer and closer.
"Don't tell me…I have to go to Nanyun to find a local tour guide?”
"Acting in her own character?"
It wasn't that Old Moe hadn't thought about it before, but he had never learned how to act before. To act as the second male lead…was actually quite stressful.
It was difficult for Old Moe to teach him.
He felt that the best thing was to learn how to perform. This was his minimum requirement.
However, it was easy to find amateur actors who could perform. Students from the major performing arts schools could do it. However, it would be very difficult if he had Japanese, Nanyun, and some tour guides.
For this reason, he had already asked his friends and classmates to help him dig.
"At most three more days!"
"I have to make a trip to Southern Cloud…"
The wrinkles on Old Moe's wrinkled face deepened.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of his film studio.
"Come in!"
Old Moe immediately sat up straight. It was his assistant, Pang Liwei!
"What is it?"
Zhang Yimou raised his head. Pang Liwei knew her boss very well. She smiled and said,"Someone called just now and said that Director Zhang Huijun of Nortel introduced him!”
"Old Zhang?"
"The person he recommended?"
Zhang Yimou stood up in shock. This was the first time Pang Liwei had seen Zhang Yimou so agitated.
"Yes, I asked him to come over for an audition tomorrow!”
"Judging from his voice, he's quite young!"
"Okay, remember to inform me tomorrow. What time?”
"2:30 in the afternoon!"
"What about his name? Did you ask for his name?”
"I did. Zhuang Fan, Zhuang as in Zhuang Zi, and Fan as in mortal!”
Pang Liwei said quickly.
"Good, good, Zhuang Fan!"
Zhang Yimou smiled, and Pang Liwei tactfully left.
"Hahaha, Old Zhang, you've finally done me a good deed!”
Zhang Yimou was happy for a reason. This was the first time he was recommended an actor.
In the past, Zhang Yimou had asked him about it before, but the other party had never given him a good look.
Now that he had pushed someone over, Zhang Yimou wanted to take a good look at how a student who was so highly regarded by his classmate could catch his eye.
Old Moe knew very well that if he didn't have some ability, his classmate would definitely not recommend Zhuang Fan.
Back then, there were so many opportunities, but he insisted on staying in the university and started learning. This was what Old Moe admired him for.
" I hope that I don't have to go to Nanyun to find a tour guide to act…"
Old Moe thought about it and looked forward to the audition tomorrow.
******
On the other side, Zhuang Fan, who had just finished a call, was also a little dumbfounded as he looked at his phone.
"What's wrong?"
"Is it a good thing?"
"Director Zhang recommended a big production team to you?”
Yang Mi looked at Zhuang Fan hopefully. She had heard Zhang Huijun calling him from outside the door. He dialed the number as soon as he walked out of Building D.
"I don't know!"
"Just let me go to the audition at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon!”
"Send the address to my phone later!”
Zhuang Fan was indeed baffled. Yang Yangmi, who was beside him, was also a little puzzled."Is that all?"
"Yes, that's all. I don't know anything else!”
"Where's the production team? Is it a TV series or a movie?"
"I don't know…"
This was what Zhuang Fan was puzzled about. The person on the phone did not say anything. He mentioned Zhang Huijun and the other party asked him to go for the audition.
There was nothing else.
"That's fine. Director Zhang recommended it, so it shouldn't be bad!”
"Let me tell you, this examiner is my boss 'classmate. They graduated from the same year at Beijing Film Academy!”
"At that time, how many people were there in the academy? Many of them are in the same class…"
Yang Mi was like a gossiper as she told Zhuang Fan about Zhang Huijun's resume. Zhuang Fan wanted to laugh at him directly. Who was Zhang Huijun?
He was much clearer than Yang Mi.
Which student in Northern Film Academy didn't know about the future head of the academy, the dean?
In 2005, he was only a director of the performing arts department.
"Anyway, you're going to be rich!"
"It's true!"
"Don't forget to help the comrades who took the art exam together with you!”
Yang Mi looked at Zhuang Fan with envy. In the past, she thought that she was better than Zhuang Fan, having so many years of acting experience. But now, she didn't think so. With his strength, what role couldn't he control?
Unlike her, she still needed the company to decide on her role.
"What post!"
"We don't even know anything yet!”
Zhuang Fan was not like Yang Mi, a young man who fantasized about becoming famous overnight. The experiences of his previous life had taught him to be unfazed by anything.
Even if the sky fell, he would not panic. Even if something good had happened, he wouldn't be too emotional.
This was the least an actor should do.
Ding!
Zhuang Fan received a text message on his phone.
Chaoyang District, Huayuan Hotel, 9th floor!
Of course, it was sent to him by Old Moe's assistant, Pang Liwei.
"Restaurant?"
Zhuang Fan was caught off guard by this address.
"Hua Yuan Hotel?"
Yang Mi also leaned over and shook her head."I've never heard of this restaurant before!”
"Could it be a mistake?"
Yang Mi also felt that it was just an audition. Why did he go to a restaurant?
Weren't they usually film companies?
"That's right, it's that phone call!"
"Maybe the other party likes to eat while auditioning?”
Zhuang Fan could only think this way because he could understand this kind of thing. In his previous life, he had experienced many strange auditions that were even more ridiculous than auditions in restaurants.
It was normal to have an audition while eating here, but the time was 2:30 in the afternoon…It was a little awkward!
Afternoon tea was possible.
Squeak!
At this moment, a commercial vehicle suddenly stopped in front of the school gate.
Yang Mi, who was thinking with Zhuang Fan, had a change of expression when she saw the car.
She hurriedly walked towards the car.
Zhuang Fan put his phone in his pocket and looked at a tall lady wearing sunglasses in surprise as she slowly got out of the passenger seat. She looked familiar, but Zhuang Fan could not recall who she was.
