With Yue's help, it's not difficult at all to meet Director Li Wei.
The difficulty is, after meeting Director Li Wei, what should I do to convince him
Mei Zihan knew very well that besides strength, luck also played a large part in being able to get to where he is now. With the support of his peers, Mei Zihan's current popularity and praise came to him.
But director Li Wei couldn't see things that Guan Yue could see clearly.
Be it Han He or Guan Yue, they have all met many actors, and they can tell what the actor in front of them looks like at a glance, is it a good seed? Han He saw Mei Zihan's "imitation" at the beginning, while Guan Yue saw Mei Zihan's "not seriousness".
Mei Zihan followed Guan Yue to meet Li Wei.
Director Li Wei is very old.
The last time Director Li Wei appeared in front of the camera was several years ago. Although he is still full of energy, he is still visibly old.
When Mei Zihan saw Li Wei, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
"Teacher, this is the Mei Zihan I told you about." Guan Yue didn't seem to have the poise she had when she talked and laughed with Mei Zihan before, and she looked awkward like a girl who was caught skipping class by the teacher.
Well, facing such a powerful teacher, no matter you are a student or not, you will feel tremendous pressure.
"Mr. Li, I'm Mei Zihan." Mei Zihan tried to pull a smile, "I've admired your name for a long time, and I hope I don't disturb you."
"It's okay, come in and sit down." Li Wei looked at Guan Yue and then at Mei Zihan, not caring about their embarrassment.
Many people see him like this, and he has long been used to it.
"I have seen your performance." Li Wei said straight to the point, "You have great potential. If you are ten years older now, I think you will be a suitable candidate."
... I am used to the twists and turns of the entertainment industry, so I am not used to being so direct when I first come up.
But this should be a compliment to me.
"Then Director Li, do you have a suitable actor in mind now?" Mei Zihan asked boldly.
Li Wei frowned slightly, "Not yet, maybe we need to do a few more auditions, or find some amateurs or young actors."
Guan Yue looked up at the teacher secretly, and found that the teacher was not angry because of Mei Zihan's question, and felt very relaxed.
It seems that the teacher doesn't hate Mei Zihan.
"However, it is impossible to find amateurs for the film "In and Out". The actor really needs to be able to enter the state of the play anytime and anywhere." Mei Zihan gradually opened up the conversation, "And the actor's personality must be in line with the role There is some overlap. If the audience wants to see the state of the actors entering and exiting the play, they must show a sufficient sense of hierarchy. If the character of the character itself is A, then the character after entering the play is B, and after the play Going back to A. It’s going from A to B and B to A that’s hard to show.”
A and B are very different.
Of course, this is also regarded as the generation and recovery of "schizophrenia".
When an actor is performing, he turns himself into another person, which is also very similar to schizophrenia. Of course, this should be easier for ordinary audiences to understand.
"That's right." Li Wei nodded, "I want to show the state of the character through the character's performance before and after some things in life. It can let the audience understand what kind of industry an actor is after all."
Actors should not be a job that the public can do. It is the same as art and music. Only a very small number of people can shine in this line of work.
Today's prosperity in the entertainment industry is not supported by actors, but by the power of capital.
Compared with many stars in the same period, Mei Zihan is definitely a real actor.
Because from Mei Zihan, you can clearly feel his "acting skills" and his "vitality". When I saw Mei Zihan's performance, I knew that this person was an actor, not a star who wanted to gain attention.
The play "In and Out" has high requirements for actors. Similarly, most of the script's creativity will not be told directly, and the audience will only be allowed to guess.
For example, the character himself does not eat green onions, but he will start to eat green onions during filming, which means that he has begun to integrate with the character he plays and has begun to enter the play. But when he doesn't eat green onions, it means that he has come out of the role.
"So, Director Li, please allow me to make a serious self-recommendation with you." Mei Zihan took a deep breath, "I really like the concept of your play, and I hope to be your leading role."
———————————
When Mei Zihan went back, he looked a little depressed.
"You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, you are still very young." Seeing Mei Zihan sighing from the moment he entered the door, Jiang Ying couldn't help but persuade her.
In fact, Mei Zihan really doesn't need to worry, except for those who won awards because of the right time and place, most of the actors who won the best actor are not young.
"Jiang Ying, do you think I'm a good actor?" Mei Zihan held her face and sighed, "Actually, Director Li's film is more suitable for you."
When Mei Zihan heard about this idea, Mei Zihan was like, if Jiang Ying was in the entertainment industry, this role would definitely be his.
Even though he had talked so much with Director Li, the director still rejected him.
"Mei Zihan, your determination is very good, but some roles are not something you can do with determination. If this is not my last movie, I will agree to you." Li Wei said so, but still rejected it Mei Zihan's proposal.
"As I said, I won't enter the entertainment industry." Jiang Ying shook her head slightly, "This movie is what Li Wei wants to give to all the actors, and I'm not suitable."
Because Jiang Ying is not an actor, he is just a teacher.
The moment he gave up entering the entertainment circle, he was no longer an actor.
"I won't give up." Mei Zihan stood up suddenly, "It's just that I've been rejected twice, even if I've been rejected twenty or two hundred times, as long as Director Li hasn't confirmed the actor, I still have a chance. Before the movie is released, everything may change."
After finishing speaking, Mei Zihan turned his head again and looked at Jiang Ying, "Honey, you will help me, right?"
"Of course." Jiang Ying replied with a smile, "Such a vigorous look is more suitable for you. I haven't seen you so high-spirited for a long time."
"That's because you haven't seen me make up my mind to chase you." Mei Zihan raised his chin proudly, "Come on, give me a smile."
Jiang Ying really gave him a smile.
"Oh—I'm resurrected with full blood, let's kiss first!"
If you want to convince Li Wei, it is absolutely impossible to just talk about it.
You have to show your real strength.
Mei Zihan thought about his own strengths carefully, and found that there are still many advantages in himself, such as dedication, single-mindedness, strong action, etc., it is perfect! As for the shortcomings, it seems that they are all minor problems, which can be completely ignored.
After Mei Zihan posted a selfie at the airport on Weibo, the domestic media knew that Mei Zihan had returned to China.
If they can't catch people abroad, are they afraid that they won't be able to catch people in China
Soon, the reporters received news from Mei Zihan.
"The anonymous phone call said that Mei Zihan was seen near the XX residential area."
"Oh oh oh, let's rush over there immediately."
"I heard that is the residence of director Li Wei?"
"Could it be that Mei Zihan is also staring at the play directed by Li Wei?"
"should be."
Now, how many domestic actors don't stare at Li Wei? Those big guys who have friendship with Li Wei have started to seek refuge abroad one by one. After all, there are favors on the left and favors on the right. It’s not good to help anyone. If you don’t help, everyone will be offended. It’s better to just run away and let them go. .
For this character's infighting, the people in the industry have eaten a lot of melons, and various news are also spreading. However, the four best movie stars are the most likely, and they are also the most fierce in the battle. However, Mei Zihan's good brother Xu Ji'an also seems to be the target. After all, his age and acting skills meet the standards, and it is said that he is also one of the candidates.
No one can tell whether the news is true or false.
Unexpectedly, Mei Zihan would join such a battle so quickly. After all, in the general impression of the public, Mei Zihan and these people seemed to be a generation behind. However, when they came to their senses, they calculated Mei Zihan's age and his resume, and found that Mei Zihan really had the strength to compete for this role.
He was twenty-nine years old, and he happened to be thirty when the filming started, which fit the role.
Mei Zihan's face is not a neutral face, but the so-called "movie face". The big screen of the movie can dig out Mei Zihan's charm more deeply.
In terms of awards, Mei Zihan has already been nominated for Best Actor. I heard that the film adaptation of the drama "Big Devil" he starred in is also very good, and it is likely to be an award-winning film. In terms of TV dramas, it is even rarer to meet rivals, and it can almost be called a thriving show. And the directors that Mei Zihan has worked with are either big directors or rising stars.
That being said, it's not impossible for Mei Zihan to be interested in this role, even to go back to China on vacation.
After figuring this out, the reporters started to get excited.
Did Mei Zihan meet up with a few senior film kings in advance
This is really big news!
Rising stars face off against seniors in the film industry, and they are very attractive to the audience. If Mei Zihan loses, there must be a lot of people laughing at him. If Mei Zihan wins, the pattern of male actors in the film industry will change!
Before Liu Tianyi had figured out how to help Mei Zihan fight the public opinion war, Mei Zihan had already begun to persuade Li Wei with the posture of pursuing Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying was right, she must fight for the character she likes.
Jiang Ying was so hard to chase at the beginning, I have already chased her, a mere character, and now there is no official decision, who else can I? Mei Zihan faintly felt that if he got the role, it would be a good thing for him and Jiang Ying.
Acting is actually a profession that requires dedication. Perhaps this is exactly what Levi wants to express in the movie "In and Out".
He wants to tell many audiences, what should a really good actor look like? After the actors have worked hard to perform a work, how can the applause be worthy of their performance
After Li Wei rejected Mei Zihan, his heart didn't fluctuate much.
Because Mei Zihan was indeed not the most suitable candidate for him.
He is in good health now, and he can still spend some energy looking for more people until he finds the most suitable one.
Li Wei went shopping with his wife.
"Your pork seems to be more expensive than others'." Li Wei accompanied his wife to choose at the vegetable market, glanced at the price sign on the stall, and said suddenly.
The price of this pork stall is two yuan a catty more expensive than other stalls.
Li Wei buys vegetables with his wife every day. He also likes the atmosphere of the market, so he knows the prices of meat and vegetables in the market very well.
"This is a farm pig I collected from the countryside. It is grown on grain, which is different from those pigs raised on food. Just look at the meat and you will know that it is thick." It's a bit low, and I can't see his face clearly, but he speaks a thick local accent, "This is because I came here to set up a stall on this day, and I want to open up some sales, so I sold it at a low price. When everyone's word of mouth gets better, I will sell it at this price." It’s going to go up too.”
"This meat is really good." Li Wei's wife adjusted her presbyopic glasses, "You can tell at a glance that this pork is good."
"Yes, it's delicious to make bacon. How about it, ma'am, if you like it, how much extra? I'll get you some scallions and make dumplings when you go back?" The pork seller hurriedly recommended.
"Then five catties."
"Okay."
It wasn't until the pork dealer started to weigh the meat that Li Wei suddenly realized something was wrong.
The opponent's hands seemed a little too thin and tender.
Generally speaking, pork dealers always have some wounds on their hands. It is normal to have a few more wounds when dealing with knives every day.
"Ma'am, here is the five catties of pork you asked for, and these two scallions, as extras for you." The hawker packed the meat in a bag and handed it over.
Li Wei bent his legs slightly, bent down and took a look at the pork dealer.
The other party smiled back at him.
"It's you?" Li Wei recognized who the pork dealer was.
"What's the matter? Do you know him?" The wife was still a little confused, and she didn't see clearly until the businessman took off the straw hat.
"What a handsome young man, why are you here to sell pork?"
Who is this pork dealer in front of me if not Mei Zihan
"Director, what do you think of my acting?" Mei Zihan looked at Li Wei with a smile, "I can act even an ordinary person who is different from me, but you came out a little early, and I haven't got my hands yet. Putting on makeup." Otherwise, there must be no flaws at all.
When Li Wei took the meat home, he took the initiative to take off the straw hat and called out his name, the effect would definitely be better.
Li Wei still couldn't get back to his senses.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of taking pictures.
The reporters snapped at Mei Zihan, who was dressed as a pork dealer.
Fuck.
Mei Zihan subconsciously wanted to cover her face, but then realized that she was very ugly in this state, so she had to quickly put on her hat.
"Mei Zihan, is this your audition?"
"Ms. Li, can I ask, will Mei Zihan be an actor in your new play?"
"Mei Zihan, may I ask if this is what you have discussed? Or do you want to surprise the audience? Can you tell us about it?"
…
Look down on these reporters!
Mei Zihan was a little stunned.
This was originally a good plan, but because of the appearance of these reporters, everything was disrupted.
Li Wei and his wife are not too young, and they can't respond to such a sudden scene.
"It's my own idea." Mei Zihan suddenly raised his voice, "I have always admired Teacher Li, so I came to such a performance suddenly, please step aside, and don't delay the grocery shopping Guest, I'm going to the open space over there for an interview."
Li Wei originally thought that Mei Zihan had found these people himself, but soon he found out that it was not.
Because Mei Zihan took all the responsibilities on himself, and never said a word about the play "In and Out" from the beginning to the end.
And when the reporter came out, the surprise in Mei Zihan's eyes was definitely not fake. Li Wei still had this insight.
If Mei Zihan's acting skills are really high enough to fool him at such a close distance, then there is nothing wrong with letting him be the protagonist of his own movie.
However, if Mei Zihan took all the responsibility on himself, it might not be good for his reputation.
Li Wei and his wife quickly took the opportunity to slip away.
When Liu Tianyi received the news, he almost dropped his phone.
Mei Zihan instantly hit the headlines on all major online platforms.
These reporters didn't speak so nicely, and all kinds of headlines came out.
"Mei Zihan Actively Acts as a Pork Vendor to Seek Li Wei's Attention"
"An Actor's Self-Indulgence"
"Is it eye-catching or moral kidnapping, what is Mei Zihan's move..."
…
Sure enough, if there is no sound, it will be a blockbuster.
Mei Zihan disappeared out of thin air for so long, and it was an explosive headline when it came up.
The marketing accounts are even busier than the Chinese New Year, and one after another jokes are born.
Maybe the pork you bought was sold to you by Mei Zihan.
Your favorite idol may not be a prince charming, but may also be a pork vendor.
As for the tricks of fooling the great director, I lost.
Even the pig-head peddler outfit with Mei Zihan's style became popular on Taobao, and sales soared.
Liu Tianyi felt a little dizzy when he saw the "explosion" symbol behind "Mei Zihan" on Weibo.
What happened in the blink of an eye
Liu Tianyi took a few deep breaths, thinking that he should not be so nervous.
Maybe hallucinations
When I opened my eyes, I found that the words on Weibo were still the same.
Liu Tian clicked on the video that was said to be a full recording.
read it.
a long time.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Mei Zihan, I'm fucking you.
Liu Tianyi almost wanted to pick up the pork machete and chop Mei Zihan in half.
Can you call him and ask him before doing something like this? Can we not cut it first and play it later? !
Liu Tianyi dares to bet that when Mei Zihan came up with this idea, he must still think that his idea is great, and he must also think that he can show himself smoothly, maybe even rolled a few times on the bed thinking that he is a genius Woolen cloth
Mei Zihan came up with such a bad idea, could it be that Jiang Ying just stood by and ignored it
Liu Tianyi immediately called Mei Zihan and Jiang Ying.
Great, no one picked up.
I was blocked.
hehe.
Excitedly, Liu Tianyi wandered around the kitchen twice, picked up a fruit knife and went out.
They are not in this community, but in Jiang's house. He can always find someone.
If Mei Zihan couldn't give him a perfect explanation, he would force him to kneel down and apologize with this fruit knife.
Oh shit.
Do you want to act like a demon? !
Click on Weibo, the above remarks almost become two extremes.
"In order to prove his acting skills, what's wrong with Mei Zihan taking the initiative to act as a small person to seek a role? Compared with those who follow the unspoken rules of the back door, Mei Zihan can put down his figure like this, which is completely a good actor's performance! Want to win the role? What's wrong?"
"To put it bluntly, it's a moral kidnapping. Once it comes out like this, Director Li Wei can't do it if he doesn't want to use him. What kind of heart does Mei Zihan have? If he wants to show off his acting skills, he will go to the audition obediently. If this method is extended , the director doesn’t even need to go out!”
"I think Mei Zihan's performance is very good. A good role is to take the initiative to fight for it. In this era, it is unrealistic to wait for others to come to you."
"I think these reporters were recruited by Mei Zihan himself, in order to create a wave of hype. At that time, no matter whether the character is his or not, the public will have nothing to do with him when they mention it. I really like this kind of hype. It's the first time I've seen it, no wonder Mei Zihanhong is so quick, she really has extraordinary skills!"
"Ah, my Mei really looks good, and this kind of dress is too handsome. Come on, Mei!"
…
"Mr. Xu, what do you think of Mei Zihan's behavior in the morning? Did you know about this in advance?" The reporters almost forgot what they wanted to ask Xu Ji'an before, and they completely forgot This was Xu Ji'an's new product launch conference, but instead all the topics were focused on Mei Zihan.
Now, there is no shortage of clicks on any topic about Mei Zihan.
Others "exploded" by derailment and divorce, Mei Zihan only relied on a bunch of pork.
It's amazing.
Xu Ji'an's face was a little stiff, and he scolded Mei Zihan in his heart, "His role as the pork peddler is very good, very vivid, he is a great actor, thank you for your concern for him."
"Then what do you think Mei Zihan this time..."
"Director Li Wei's new play, do you think Mei Zihan has a chance?"
"Mei Zihan..."
"You and Mei Zihan..."
Oh shit.
Who remembers that this is his new product launch conference? !
The author has something to say: I know this is not halal, and it is indeed my bad taste.
in spite of.
This article has already begun to the final stage, so it's better to be lively.
Mei Zihan, a person who shortened the manager's life by ten years!
