The producer cried and said, "Mr. Guo, don't make fun of me."
Guo Wenyuan's expression suddenly became serious: "How am I kidding you! Well, give me a chance, no matter what the result is, I will invest another ten million!"
Producer: "Mr. Guo, it's not about money..."
Just as the two were breaking up, the assistant director had sneaked in and told Director Xie what had happened.
Director Xie looked at the two with an unpleasant expression: "What is this doing?"
Director Xie was naturally very unhappy when Guo Wenyuan came over. For a big director like him, the requirement for autonomy in filming is very high. With his status in the industry, such as Guo Wenyuan, a small shareholder, he can completely ignore it.
The producer was caught in the middle, not knowing how to explain it, and felt that he was simply not human.
On the contrary, it was Guo Wenyuan who jumped up with a single stride and shook Director Xie's hand: "Director Xie, I have always liked your movies, especially your "Long Time", which is my favorite. a movie."
Director Xie, who was still angry at first, was stunned for a moment: "Do you like "The Long River"?"
Even the assistant director looked at Guo Wenyuan in surprise.
Director Xie has made a lot of movies in his life, some of which are extremely high at the box office and entered the billion-dollar club, and some who win awards and get soft-handed, but few people know that Director Xie's favorite is the movie "Times" that he made in his early years. Long River".
Director Xie frowned and looked at the producer: "Did you say it?"
The producer couldn't help laughing: "What can I say, I didn't know this was the best film in your mind before today."
It is true that Director Xie rarely talks about his movies with others. Only a few partners who have worked with him for many years know about it, but Director Xie is confident that they will never say it.
It seems that this Guo always really likes "The Long River".
Director Xie's expression slowly softened, but he didn't expect this investor to be a confidant.
Seeing this, Guo Wenyuan hurriedly said: "Director Xie, don't get me wrong, I came here purely to admire you, I will never point fingers, don't worry!"
Director Xie smiled and said deliberately: "It's okay, you are an investor, it's okay to speak up if you have any opinions."
"No, no, you misunderstood. I just heard that your "Red Ghost" was auditioning here, so I was a little curious, so I came over to have a look. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll leave right now."
After Guo Wenyuan finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Director Xie gave the assistant director a wink, and the assistant director hurriedly stepped forward to hold Guo Wenyuan: "Mr. Guo, there is nothing inconvenient for you to come to the audition, I'll just arrange a place for you, just in case you get bored."
When Guo Wenyuan was pulled by him, he immediately turned around and said with a smile, "It's not boring, it's not boring, I just like watching this."
Assistant Director: "..." Why don't you hold back for a minute
Guo Wenyuan reassured: "Teacher Xie, don't worry, I'll just take a look, and I won't say a word."
His attitude was so sincere that the last hesitation in Director Xie's heart disappeared, so several people returned to the audition room, leaving only the producer with a confused look.
who I am? Where am I? what am i doing
—
Guo Wenyuan entered the audition room, and as he said, he just sat there without saying a word.
Weng Tian didn't recognize Guo Wenyuan, just watched him come in with Director Xie and others, chatting and laughing with Director Xie, and thought it was Director Xie's friend, so he didn't take it seriously.
Director Xie asked people to restart the interrupted audition.
This part is the rivalry between the heroine Cheng Yanxin and the actor Zhou Hanchen. The two have long been in love with each other, but in their identities at the time, they could not be together. In order to protect Zhou Hanchen, Cheng Yanxin could only let him leave in a cold voice.
There are not many lines in this paragraph, but it is very difficult to test the eyes and facial expressions.
The assistant took her place, Weng Tian closed her eyes for a few minutes, and when she opened it again, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, she tried her best to restrain the trembling of her body, and said word by word, "Go, don't come again. "
The assistant took a step forward: "Yan Xin!"
Weng Tian suddenly backed away: "Don't come here." She raised her face, her face was full of pain, but tears just rolled in her eyes, "You know it's impossible for us."
The assistant wanted to say something else, but Weng Tian closed the door, and then seemed to lean her back against the wall, slowly sliding down, biting her lip, restraining her sob, the one that stayed in her eyes for a long time. Tears eventually rolled down the corners of his eyes.
The explosive force of this scene was extremely strong, especially the tears that were contained but not dripped, which almost tugged the hearts of everyone present.
In addition, she was interrupted in the process of brewing before, but she was able to play so stably when she started again. She deserves to be known as the most powerful actress in the new generation.
However, Director Xie was not as satisfied as before. He seemed to be thinking about something and did not speak.
Weng Tian was originally satisfied with her performance, but when she saw Director Xie's appearance, she panicked.
After a while, Director Xie regained his senses, and said lightly, "Let's try again, just before Cheng Yanxin's death, and arrange the funeral."
This section was not in the audition script sent to the actors before. The assistant director could only turn over the script on the spot, find this section, and then hand over the script to Weng Tian.
Director Xie said: "You can go to the next room to prepare, half an hour, is that enough?"
Weng Tian was ready for the director to issue a temporary question before. Hearing that, he nodded immediately: "Enough."
Director Xie let her into the room, and then said to the assistant director, "Next."
After three or four auditions in a row, Director Xie was not satisfied. He was also a little old, and he was a little powerless, so he asked the assistant director to suspend the audition.
The assistant director filled the thermos cup for him with hot water and put it on the table. When he turned around, he saw Guo Wenyuan holding the same thermos cup in his hand, drinking wolfberry tea in small sips. His expression was no different from that of the old man who was enjoying the cool air in the park. what a difference.
Deputy director:"… "
Director Xie was stunned when he saw the assistant director, and turned his head after him, and saw Guo Wenyuan, and then he remembered that he had left the investors aside for half an hour.
Although Director Xie hates investors who are laymen and guide experts, he has been in the film industry for many years, and he doesn't want to anger investors.
So, he turned his head and asked Guo Wenyuan with a smile: "Mr. Guo is bored?"
Guo Wenyuan shook his head: "No, I think it looks pretty."
Director Xie: "…"
Director Xie couldn't tell whether Guo Wenyuan was telling the truth or the irony, so he could only say: "If Mr. Guo has any opinions, he can also talk about it."
Guo Wenyuan looked at him in surprise: "Can I say it?" Before Director Xie said it was just a courtesy, he happily took it up himself, "Then I'll just say a few words."
Director Xie: "…"
However, the water splashed out by the words that he said out, Director Xie is not good for people to shut up, anyway, just treat him as nonsense, and it's good to hear it.
Guo Wenyuan straightened his back and stroked the sleeves of his shirt up, as if he was going to have a big fight.
"Take the scene where the male and female protagonists are facing each other. The crying scenes of these actresses are all good, but in this scene, crying is the least important."
As soon as he said these words, Director Xie, who didn't care, became somewhat interested: "Go on."
Guo Wenyuan is also polite: "I haven't read the script, but I have read the book "Red Ling". For Cheng Yanxin, the most painful thing is not to be separated from Zhou Hanchen, but she knows that this separation is a goodbye forever. , from the time she decided to use her identity to help fight the Japanese, she was ready to sacrifice."
"Her tears are to mourn this unrequited love, but her eyes shouldn't be like this. Such love can belong to any woman, but it shouldn't be Cheng Yanxin."
After Guo Wenyuan finished speaking, the staff at the scene were stunned, and even the producers who knew him well couldn't believe it was what he said.
On the contrary, Director Xie not only smiled, but also slowly applauded.
Guo Wenyuan, however, was still unfinished: "Of course, in addition to actresses, the performance of assistants is also a bit exaggerated..."
Assistant director in charge of assisting: "… "
Seeing that Guo Wenyuan was going to continue, the deputy director couldn't help it: "Mr. Guo, you seem to have a lot of research on acting, how about you go up and try it later?"
Director Xie: "Xiao Chen!"
Unexpectedly, when Guo Wenyuan heard him say this, not only was he not angry, but he was surprised: "Really? Then I will be disrespectful."
Deputy director:"… "
Wait, that's not how the script was written! !
In a trance, he remembered the scene where he invited Guo Wenyuan to come in to watch the audition, which made him feel like he had been tricked.
Guo Wenyuan didn't give him any chance to go back. He went to the field manager himself, took the script, sat back in the chair and started to look carefully.
The assistant director looked at Director Xie aggrievedly, Director Xie pressed his forehead, and felt that today's audition process was like magic.
It's just an audition anyway, so it should be... no problem.
The assistant director was deprived of the opportunity to assist, so he went to the next room to ask Weng Tian to come over.
Weng Tian walked in and found that the assistant actor had changed, and was stunned for a while.
The other party seemed to have entered a state: "Xiao Chen, please help me to start."
Deputy director:"… "
Weng Tian was a little inexplicable, but she couldn't allow her to think too much at the moment. She recalled the lines just now, and then closed her eyes and entered the role.
But at the moment when she closed her eyes, Guo Wenyuan, who was standing opposite her, seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person.
His originally straight body was slightly hunched, his knees were slightly bent, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and he had a humble smile on his face. Even though he was in a suit and leather shoes at the moment, in the eyes of everyone, he was the image of a living old housekeeper. .
Director Xie's expression could not help but become more serious.
Weng Tian opened her eyes and was almost frightened by Guo Wenyuan, but fortunately she adjusted in time.
"Uncle Chang, it's up to you to decide what is in my jewelry box, and if anyone in the courtyard looks at it, take it all, and burn the rest. "
Hearing her say that, Uncle Chang's back seemed to be more hunched, and he replied softly, "Hey."
"This house was bought for five hundred oceans. You can find a tooth shop to sell it, and the money from the sale will be given to your old man."
Uncle Chang's body trembled slightly, and he responded again: "Hey."
It's just that this sound is lighter than before, as if suppressing something.
"I have raised the flowers and plants in this yard for many years, and now I don't care about them anymore. If anyone wants them, they can send them out. If no one wants them, they can bury them in front of my grave in the future..."
"Bah bah bah!" Uncle Chang raised his head hastily, his eyes were red and his lips were trembling, but just like every superstitious old man, he murmured, "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji..."
As he spoke, he folded his hands together and bowed to the surroundings, his expression panicked, for fear that the gods and Buddhas in the sky would blame him.
"Uncle Chang!"
Uncle Chang stopped praying to Buddha, and forced to show her a smile that was uglier than crying: "Miss is still a child..."
The audition was over and both of them were back to normal.
But for the rest of the audience, the excitement was even greater.
Not to mention that Guo Wenyuan's performance was very good, he almost brought them into the situation, and he even noticed that Uncle Chang was a native of Dongjiang, and he spoke in the local dialect of Dongjiang.
The assistant director, who was aggrieved at the beginning, had nothing to say, after all, this performance was really hanging him.
Director Xie looked at Guo Wenyuan thoughtfully: "Your performance is like an old friend of mine."
Guo Wenyuan didn't panic and replied happily, "Director Xie's friend, that must be an actor with superb acting skills. I'll take it as you are complimenting me."
"Yeah." Director Xie said lightly, "This cheeky appearance looks more like him."
Guo Wenyuan: "..."
