I Really Can’t Act

Chapter 274: reject

When the administrators saw this propaganda poster, they almost all exploded.

cheongsam? No!

Tang suit? No!

To be precise, this set of clothes should combine the advantages of cheongsam and Tang suit. Men's Tang suits are generally embroidered with dragons, and tend to be straight. But Mei Zihan's body was embroidered with plum blossoms, and the waist and robe were more like a lady's cheongsam.

But the Rabbit Country style is very strong, and there is absolutely no possibility of being recognized as a Korean or Japanese server.

Most importantly, when Mei Zihan put on this outfit, with makeup and a wig, her hormonal charm exploded.

Even if these administrators think that they are not that kind of superficial beauty fans, at this moment, they feel a little urge to change from professional fans to beauty fans.

No, no, the bottom line of career fans is still very firm.

After all, other actors are still struggling in China, but Mei Zihan has already acted in a high-quality rice drama, and in the documents uploaded by his agent, Mei Zihan is also an important role comparable to the male lead.

Looking at the whole country, how many people are at the same level as Meimei

An idol like a fan has more confidence in fighting with others.

Anyway, they can only envy and hate.

Fighting for awards, popularity, endorsements, and popularity, no one can crush Meimei.

Not to mention that Mei Zihan has a healthy private life and a positive image, which is simply a model of a high-quality idol.

Of course, the administrators didn't think so much now, they just downloaded the posters and used them as wallpapers.

Especially the newly admitted administrators are extremely grateful for the decision they made at the beginning.

Administrator 001: ... Oh my god, Mei Mei's body looks so good, it feels a bit comical.

Administrator 004: Impossible, how could I, Mei, film the ip adapted from comics

Administrator 006: You guys are really goldfish memories. Just now the agent said that it was a rice drama!

Liu Tianyi: This is how the Tu Guofeng looks in the eyes of foreigners, but fortunately everyone knows that it is from the Tu Guo. Mei Zihan is currently working hard on filming, and there will be no activities for the next half a year, so you have to comfort the fans. But in the same way, their filming is still closed now, and the news must not be leaked.

Administrator 002: I've heard of this director, and I watched a TV series directed by him before. When will I be able to film this movie in China

Liu Tianyi: I'm afraid it depends on the crew. You also know that Mei Zihan can no longer find any suitable TV or movie shooting in China. The achievements of TV dramas have reached the peak. Although "Star Barrister" has a lot of topics and ratings, in my opinion, it is just a reprint of "My Stepfather". As for the movie, although we have contacts with several big directors, unfortunately we can't start shooting right away.

Administrator 003: Although I won't see any news from Mei Mei in the next six months, I feel a little depressed, but thinking that Mei Mei has come so far, as a career fan, I just want to jump around happily!

The administrators spoke one after another, but the excitement and excitement between them came from the words.

As a manager, Liu Tianyi felt pride and pride in his heart when he saw that the administrators were so united and liked Mei Zihan so much.

It is not that he has never been in contact with fans of the artists he brought before, but they often give pointers to the artist's development. Interfering too much in your career in the name of liking you is a common problem of many fan administrators.

But Mei Zihan's fan administrators have no such tendency.

Of course, this is inseparable from the way they were promoted to administrators.

As long as Mei Zihan doesn't get carried away and goes back to filming those thunder dramas, they don't care what they film.

After a few days of running in, Mei Zihan became more and more proud in the crew.

The performance methods of western actors are quite different in China. They are always used to expressing their emotions with many body movements, and it is easy to release or restrain their emotions.

If it is replaced by other domestic actors, I am afraid that they will not be able to integrate this difference in a while, and adjust their acting methods in time. But for Mei Zihan, this way of performing is both unfamiliar and familiar to him.

This should be the perfect version of the emotional catharsis interpretation of those Lei dramas he starred in before.

In layman's terms, it is a selective roar.

Director Will also praised Mei Zihan's adaptability. He had already prepared that Mei Zihan would need a period of time to adjust his acting style, but he didn't expect that Mei Zihan would be a duck to water in the crew.

"Has he experienced similar acting training before?" Will couldn't help asking his old classmate Jiang Ying.

"... There is no training, but he has acted in many TV dramas that require him to use this exaggerated interpretation method."

Later, in order to improve his acting method, Jiang Ying accompanied him to perform many basic emotions, anger, sorrow and joy in various ways.

Jiang Ying's acting teaching was originally biased towards Western Hollywood. Mei Zihan gradually created her own style on the way of fusing the two acting methods. In addition, this time she played the role of an oriental businessman, and this is how she achieved such a perfect performance. performance effect.

More importantly, Jiang Ying would come to the crew to watch Mei Zihan's performance from time to time, even if it was to save face for herself, Mei Zihan would act very hard.

Otherwise, it would be a big embarrassment. He didn't want to live the life of filming during the day and going back to acting at night.

Think about how you survived in the first place

I still don't want to.

Mei Zihan pulled back her thoughts and continued with her performance.

three months later.

domestic.

Guan Yue looked at her teacher carefully.

Although everyone said that she was the teacher's favorite little student, Guan Yue could still feel that the teacher was not that satisfied with her.

Guan Yue is very talented in literary and artistic films. She can handle the shots extraordinarily beautifully and flawlessly with the unique sense of delicacy of women. As a top-notch director who can be counted among literary films, Guan Yue is definitely a disciple who won't lose his teacher's reputation if released.

But Li Wei still felt a pity.

Because even if Guan Yue could reach the level he wanted one day, he would definitely be dead by then.

Literary films can only be made better if they are of a certain age and have a certain life experience. The audience of literary films is often these people with life experience.

Guan Yue is still too young.

"These days, several of your brothers and sisters have also mentioned the names of many actors in front of me in various ways." Li Wei sighed slightly, "I know it is not easy for you to get along in the entertainment industry, but like you The one who directly recommends actors is the first one."

The other disciples either beat around the bush or hesitated, fearing that the teacher would reject them, and fearing that revealing their names directly would make these actors not even have a chance.

"Because he is not related, teacher, I really want to recommend him to you." Guan Yue looked at Li Wei seriously and replied, "Teacher, Mei Zihan is definitely the best young actor in China." One. In my opinion, his future achievements may be higher than Li Ruo's."

"Li Ruogen is a good seed, but it's a pity that she won't be the protagonist of my movie. It should be said that the actress I wanted is no longer alive." Li Wei seemed to remember something, with a nostalgic expression on his face.

Guan Yue knew who the actress the teacher was talking about was.

Zhou Mei, a name that is familiar to anyone in the film industry.

At the beginning, Zhou Mei was able to go international and surpass the actresses in Hong Kong and Taiwan precisely because she starred in Li Wei's movie.

But unfortunately, since then, Zhou Mei has basically never acted in a movie in China.

Because the best literary film directors in China have already cooperated with her.

Every year, Li Wei goes to Zhou Mei's grave to send a bouquet of flowers.

The teacher kept thinking that if he had discovered something wrong with Zhou Mei in time, he would never have introduced Zhou Mei to his international director friends.

But Zhou Mei's acting skills are too good. And even if the teacher likes this actress, it is impossible to get too close to her, after all, people's words are scary. So the best time to discover was missed.

"Teacher, I will make a collection of Mei Zihan's performance clips for you. His growth is very obvious, and he will have new breakthroughs every time. Now there are very few pure actors like him."

Guan Yue is still working hard to recommend Mei Zihan. She even brought the master tape of Mei Zihan's "The Great Devil" material, which can be shown by the teacher at any time.

"Let me see what you brought first."

The closed door disciple made such a hard-working recommendation, and Li Wei couldn't help but lose face.

He had also heard of Mei Zihan's name, and Zhou Guojian seemed to want him to be the second male lead on purpose, and the old friend in the courtyard seemed to favor this young man a lot.

It's just that Mei Zihan is too young after all, he should be a few months away from turning 30 now.

At the age of 30, he is already a top young actor in China. No need to look, Li Wei knows what kind of mental state the other party is in now.

Hearing the teacher let go, Guan Yue quickly took out the master tape of the material she had prepared.

"The movie we filmed together is based on a drama adaptation of "The Great Devil". In it, Mei Zihan plays an arrogant, suspicious, inferior, but sinister big devil..."

While introducing the specific content of the movie, Guan Yue quickly handled the projection equipment.

Soon, Mei Zihan's face appeared on the big screen.

ten minutes later.

Li Wei's eyes gradually became focused.

There is something interesting about this actor.

During the screening of "The Great Devil", Guan Yue found another collection of clips made by Mei Zihan's fans.

It records every bit of Mei Zihan's ten-year acting career, including all the things he has acted in before. Such a collection of videos spanning ten years will definitely give the teacher a clearer understanding of Mei Zihan.

one hour.

Li Wei sighed imperceptibly.

"This actor is indeed very good and has great potential, but I still stick to my point of view. For the protagonist of my movie, he is a bit too young."

————————

The filming of the first season of "The Crown" has come to an end.

The number of episodes filmed in rice dramas is very short, but it takes a lot of effort in terms of scenes and post-production special effects.

Mei Zihan felt a little bit reluctant to leave such a crew soon.

These days, he has also discussed acting issues with some other actors. For example, Mei Zihan asked McCann very sincerely about the issue of being able to freely retract and release emotions when entering the play.

McCann's performance in this regard is quite high.

Unlike Xu Ji'an in China, McCann praised Mei Zihan's studious spirit very much, and quickly demonstrated for Mei Zihan himself, teaching Mei Zihan how to highlight his own characteristics under the performance of a group of Western actors.

If everyone's emotions are more open, then Mei Zihan's delicate and plain handling will be easily overlooked by the audience.

Therefore, you need to adjust your status in time in different crews.

Mei Zihan likes the people in this crew, and the people in the crew also like this actor from the East.

The other party was able to communicate with them without barriers, and their words were not as cautious as those foreigners, but they just said what they had. Almost all the crew of "The Crown" are unknown actors, and there are no twists and turns between each other. Not to mention that Mei Zihan and them have different nationalities, so there is no competition at all.

But no matter how good the atmosphere in the crew is, once the filming of the TV series is finished, they can only pray that the ratings of the show will be high enough, and then start filming the next few seasons.

When returning home at night, Mei Zihan was attacked by Liu Tianyi's cross-border phone call.

"You said Director Li Wei couldn't use me because I was too young?" Mei Zihan almost thought he was listening to a joke. , "But didn't you say before that the protagonists of the films directed by Li Wei are all 30 to 40 years old?"

He should be fine.

"People don't care about your age, it's because you give people the impression that you are a very young actor full of youthfulness and vitality in front of the camera." Liu Tianyi also felt very helpless.

For an actor, having a youthful look is definitely a huge bonus.

Audiences often say that their favorite actor has become greasy, and actresses often post announcements announcing that they are full of girlishness.

The sense of youth and girliness is actually a trait that is very popular with audiences.

The same two 40-year-old actresses, someone can act like an 18-year-old girl, but the vast majority of them don’t care what kind of acid they inject on their faces, how thick the powder is, and how strong the light is. , It still makes people think that this is a 40-year-old person playing an 18-year-old, and the audience will feel that they are pretentious and exaggerated.

But some people, even if the wrinkles on their faces are shown through the camera, the audience will ignore their wrinkles and be brought into their performance.

Some of this youthful feeling can be obtained through acquired training, but most of it is innate.

Because actors are a profession that is easily influenced by the surrounding environment.

If the road to acting is smooth, then under the triple pursuit of directors, investors and audiences, actors can easily become arrogant and complacent, and inadvertently reveal a superior appearance. But if the road to acting is not smooth, then frustration and resentment will accompany the actor's performance, not to mention the feeling of youth, it is not bad if it is not the feeling of resentment.

Mei Zihan's ability to reach his current position in the current aesthetic entertainment circle is absolutely inseparable from the characteristics of this sunny boy in him.

So even if Mei Zihan went to act in an idol drama, the oldest member of the "Star Lawyer" idol group is only 20 years old, and the youngest is even less than 16 years old. But did the audience say that Mei Zihan's style of painting is wrong

absolutely not.

"I can restrain myself." Mei Zihan was a little sullen, "Can you let me meet with Director Li?"

Mei Zihan felt hurt by refusing to give him a chance just because he acted young.

Although he has never admitted that he is 30, but he has indeed reached the time for transformation.

Director Li Wei's status in his heart is definitely not low. If he can cooperate with him, Mei Zihan is willing to lose another ten catties by himself.

"If it wasn't for you to meet him, I wouldn't call you at this time." Liu Tianyi said with a smile, "I thought you'd just let it go, after all, you're a salted fish. "

"Of course we can't just let it go. If Director Li dislikes my poor acting skills and rejects me, then I have nothing to say. But if I discriminate against me because of my age, that's absolutely not acceptable."

No, why do people discriminate against him? And it's not your age that discriminates.

Director Li is obviously praising you.

And even if you are not suitable for this movie, as long as you don't lose the sense of youth, there will still be many movies waiting for you.

Liu Tianyi didn't say a lot, but after receiving Mei Zihan's affirmative answer, he felt that there was nothing to say about these things.

Mei Zihan must have known it in her heart.

That's why he was so determined this time.

His talent can get him a lot of good roles, but it can also make him miss a lot of roles.

Mei Zihan can bear being rejected by a certain film because of his lack of professional ability, but he absolutely cannot bear to lose the opportunity to cooperate with many directors because of some unnecessary reasons.

After filming the current movie, Director Li Wei will retire.

Even if he can act in more literary films in the future, the director will no longer be the current director Li Wei.

Director Li was able to win Zhou Mei back then, so as Zhou Mei's son-in-law, of course he also wanted to cooperate with such a director.

"I will make an appointment with Guan Yue and ask her to take you to meet Director Li." Liu Tianyi replied, "When can you come back?"

"If necessary, I can come back halfway. Why don't you first confirm when Guan Yue will be available? I will fully cooperate with you."

"ok."

As soon as Liu Tian hung up the phone, Mei Zihan told Jiang Ying about it.

"Before I was nominated for the best actor with Xiang Xia, I was actually very upset. I found that my ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, especially after meeting Tang Qingshan. I desperately hope that I have now won a best actor Trophies, in this way, when he said you are bad, I can take out my trophy and smash it directly in his face. In this way, he can't say anything bad about you. After all, I am your teacher from."

Salted fish is also graded.

Although Mei Zihan didn't say anything on the surface, it was impossible not to care in his heart.

There are some things he can let go, and some things he can't let go of.

"There's nothing wrong with being ambitious." Jiang Ying rubbed his head with a smile, "Li Wei's arrival in this movie will definitely be an opportunity for you to win the best actor trophy. No matter how many difficulties you face, you can't just do it like this Simply retreat."

A movie that can sweep away various film festival awards in one go will not be released in a few years. I missed this opportunity and wanted to wait for the next time, I don't know when it will be.

"If you don't have ambitions and don't want to make movies, do you want to be reduced to the same level as Chen Juntao and the others?"

Even in China they are still famous film kings, but abroad, even a junior like Mei Zihan can't win. They can only maintain their footsteps in China, using niche films and commercial films to maintain their trophies and popularity, and in the end they can only be slowly surpassed by latecomers like Mei Zihan.

Mei Zihan couldn't help shivering when he heard Jiang Ying's words.

No, he doesn't want to become like Chen Juntao and the others.

I have already seen the top scenery in the world, so why would I want to live under those three or two tiles

"Then let's pack up and prepare to go back to China." Jiang Ying smiled slightly, "In another week, you can wrap up."

"Let's wait a little longer. When Brother Liu tells me the specific time, it will not be too late for us to go back. Although making a movie is very important, it is equally important to be with you." Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for Director Li's movie to meet in the past two days. shoot.

At the critical moment, the salted fish mentality once again gained the upper hand.

It's okay to work hard, but it's too hurtful and sad to stay in this state all the time.

At the thought of leaving such a paradise, Mei Zihan felt a little lost.

Or stay here for a few more days.

"If the director doesn't like me, then he must also look down on other domestic actors. Maybe he can only choose from amateurs. I will definitely not give up so easily."

Mei Zihan said confidently, "So before I go back and fight hard, I must play hard enough!"
