Zhang Ran stared at Liu Yifei for several seconds, and saw her facing her gaze, and nodded slowly: "Since you want to try, then try it!" After saying that, he picked up two pages of the script: "You and Ding Sheng have a play, I hope you show the piety of the characters!"

The movie auditions usually have two parts. First, it is chatting. The actor needs to warm up. Chatting helps the actor relax and get into the state. Then, it is a trial reading script, which is to let the actor read the prepared script. It is very difficult for the actor to perform perfectly. He usually reads the script while reading it.

Zhang Ran was too familiar with Liu Yifei and did not talk to her much, so he got to the point. The character he gave Liu Yifei was a girl he met when Jason traveled to Maple Leaf Knife City. The girl brought Jason to the city and told him that the statue of the black cloak was their god. This character is the more important of all the supporting roles and has more scenes.

Liu Yifei is simple and knows English, so it’s perfect for her to play, but Zhang Ran believes that playing such a role has no meaning to her. Now what she needs is learning, not taking on roles!

As a master, he really hopes that his disciples can lay a solid foundation so that the road of acting can go further!

Liu Yifei took the script and read it. There were not many lines, only a few sentences. Before coming, she had read the novel "The Six Paths of All living beings". Although she was going to play a character that was not in the novel, she knew the theme, tone, and subsequent development of the story. She silently recited the lines twice, constructed the characters in her heart, and then signaled that Ding Sheng could start.

"What's going on with that statue?" Ding Sheng held the script and read the lines in an exaggerated tone.

"That is our god, the god of freedom heaven!" Liu Yifei held the script in her hand, raised her head, looking at the statue that did not exist. Her eyes were pious and her tone was full of awe, just like a devout Buddhist facing the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

...

After Liu Yifei finished acting, Zhang Ran nodded slightly. She acted better than she thought. Although she had been filming for the past few months, it was obvious that she was insisting on training, which really made Zhang Ran satisfied. However, he did not reveal too much emotion and said lightly: "Let's do it again. This time I hope you will show suspicion, doubt about this so-called 'god'!"

A character, a scene, or a line can have different ways of acting. When Zhang Ran collaborated with Feng Yuan, Chen Daoming and others, he shot one shot more than ten times, and their performances were basically not the same. As far as Zhang Ran knew, the most amazing thing was Meryl Streep. A scene could organize more than one hundred ways of acting.

Zhang Ran hasn't seen Liu Yifei act in a few months. He wants to see if Liu Yifei can adjust at any time according to the director's needs and quickly organize different performances.

Liu Yifei pondered for a moment and began her second performance. This time the characters she performed were no longer pious in the black-robed statue, but faintly suspicious.

After that, Zhang Ran asked Liu Yifei to change her acting styles, both of which were decent, but Zhang Ran still filled in three words "Not considering" in the column "Audio again or confirm the candidate".

After making the evaluation, Zhang Ran stood up, moved a chair, placed it next to Ding Sheng, and then called out: "Bunzi, just sit here. Be a judge with us and see how others act!"

Liu Yifei glanced at Zhang Ran, moved the chair to his side and sat down: "Master, I want to sit next to you!"

The next one who came in to audition was Zhou Xun. She was a little surprised to see Liu Yifei sitting in the interviewer's position, but then she became happy again. She was able to chat with Liu Yifei. She should be able to say a few words for her!

Zhang Ran admired Zhou Xun's acting skills very much. Zhou Xun's acting skills come from life and are a casual performance. He picked up two pages of the script and said, "You cooperate with Ding Sheng. Act this scene!"

Zhou Xun took the script from Zhang Ran, read it for almost a minute, digested it, walked to the center of the room with Ding Sheng, and then started the performance. The content of her performance was the same as that of Liu Yifei, which was the conversation between the girl and Jason.

After a few lines, Zhang Ran has to say that Zhou Xun is indeed very outstanding. She has not received professional training in the system, but she has high talent and rich life experience. The whole performance is very natural, and the expression control and detail control are particularly wonderful.

Liu Yifei was completely stunned. Zhou Xun only read the script for one minute and could perform this scene perfectly, and it was so delicate and realistic. No wonder my master wanted me to learn from her. It was so amazing!

Zhang Ran directly wrote "This role will be played by Zhou Xun" in the "Audio again or confirm the candidate". Of course, he had plans to let Zhou Xun play, but he still had to listen to the opinions of Zhao Fei and Ding Sheng, so he did not make a decision on the spot and said calmly: "I'm glad you come to the audition. When we finish the audition, we will notify you!"

"Thank you, director." Zhou Xun thanked and left the room.

At noon, after lunch in the school cafeteria, Zhang Ran brought Liu Yifei into the office of Qing Film Studio. He believed that Liu Yifei would definitely gain something after watching the performances of other actors for the morning. Now he can talk to her.

Zhang Ran looked at Liu Yifei and asked, "Bunzi, I have watched so many auditions for actors in the morning. Do you have any thoughts?"

Liu Yifei whispered: "I think my performance is very bad, and it's far from other actors."

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I told you that your biggest problem is lack of life. What is the most important life for your older children? It is campus life! That's why I convinced your mother to let you live on campus. Don't think about going out to act all day long, and don't think about being a star. At Beijing Film Academy, you are an ordinary student. Don't wrap yourself up. Just like other classmates, go to class, finish class, eat, watch movies, and fall in love... You have to experience all the lives experienced by ordinary college students. This will be an important source of your performance improvement in the future!"

Liu Yifei whispered: "Master, I didn't think about going out to act or treating it as a star. I also wanted to go to class, finish class, eat, watch movies with them, but they..." After the words stopped, she lowered her head slightly, looking very aggrieved.

Zhang Ran realized that he had made a mistake. Liu Yifei came to him because of grievances and asked, "Bunzi, are you not getting along well with the classmates in the class?"

Liu Yifei pouted and nodded in grievance.

Zhang Ran thought about it and understood the problem. Liu Yifei missed a semester of classes, and was well-known, so she was more likely to be excluded in school. However, he remembered that Liu Yifei and Jiang Yan had a good relationship. He asked, "Where is Jiang Yan? She has a good relationship with you!"

Liu Yifei shook her head and said, "Chuanchui wants to act in a movie, which seems to be called "Peacock". It needs training for a long time. Now I am in another place, not in school!"

Zhang Ran was slightly stunned when he heard "Peacock". In his previous life, Zhang Jingchu became famous with the role of his sister in "Peacock". The emotional expression of "Peacock" is implicit and the narrative is realistic, but in the part of his sister, passion and romance are rarely shown. The sister drags her homemade parachute and walks through the bustling street market. It is the colorful music of the whole film, and it is also Zhang Ran’s initial impression of Zhang Jingchu.

This is a very excellent movie, and it would be a pity to miss it. However, Zhang Ran is confident that he can make a better movie and let Zhang Jingchu go further!

Seeing Zhang Ran pondering, Liu Yifei asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Ran glared at her: "I'm trying to expel you from the sect! It's so disappointing for me. The actor is a warrior and you must have a strong heart, but what about you? If you don't get along well with the classmates in the class, you want to escape. I don't have such a cowardly apprentice!"

Liu Yifei's eyes turned red and she said aggrievedly: "Master, they said nonsense, saying that I was admitted to Beijing Film Academy through the back door, and said, "I and I, Humph, I don't like them!"

Seeing that she was about to cry, Zhang Ran comforted her: "It's really hateful to say bad things behind her back. They are jealous of you. People will be jealous of others. Master will also have them. Don't care too much. In fact, your classmates may not really want to exclude you. They are ordinary students, and you are celebrities. For them, they are not the same type of people as you. They think you are far away from them. They will naturally alienate you! At this time, you have to learn to communicate with everyone actively. You can't think that I am a fairy sister. I am young and you have to give in to me. That's impossible! In school, you are all students and are equal! You have to learn to get along with others!"

"Master, I also want to get along well with them, but they are very cold to me. They don't take me with me if I buy clothes, eat, or watch movies. I don't know what to do!"

"You are a celebrity now and often shoot advertisements and magazines. Your mother knows a lot of people in this field. If you take the initiative to introduce advertisements and magazines to your classmates, will the classmates who get your help be grateful to you? Then will your relationship with your classmates soon improve? You must learn to take advantage of your own advantages!"

"I understand, Master!" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, and it turns out that Master is still powerful.

"That's it!" Zhang Ran closed his hands and stood up. He suddenly remembered a question and reminded him, "Bun, the ** has been making a big fuss recently. It is said that the contagiousness is very amazing. I am afraid it will spread to Peking. You should be careful, buy a mask with you, and don't go to crowded places recently!"

"Master, you don't wear a mask, you can buy one too, don't get sick!" Liu Yifei said seriously.

At six o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran completed today's casting work and returned home.

Zhang Ran stepped into the house and smelled the fragrance of the food. He stretched his head and looked at the kitchen. Zhang Jingchu was busy in the kitchen. It would be better to have a girlfriend, so he didn’t have to eat in the canteen every day. The food in the Beijing Electric Canteen was really not very good!

"Beauty, where are you cooking?" Zhang Ran walked behind Zhang Jingchu, put his waist on her waist, and said in a hooligan tone.

"You go watch TV. I'll cook this dish and cook another soup to eat!" Zhang Ran was so intimately wrapped around his waist. Zhang Jingchu was very sweet, with a gentle smile on her face and a sweet charm in her eyes.

"No, I want to see you cook!" Zhang Ran hugged her hands tighter.

"Stop making trouble, I'll be confused in a while!" Zhang Jingchu untied Zhang Ran's hand from her waist, and then pushed him out of the kitchen, "It's going to be done soon, wait!"

Zhang Ran came to the living room to make a cup of tea and leaned comfortably on the sand. He turned on the TV and used the remote control to search for programs on various channels. There was really nothing good to watch. He was about to go online to check the news, but the TV screen flashed, and the trailer for "Before Dawn" appeared.

"In the autumn of 1948, in order to obtain the Kuomintang's hidden plan, the ** underground party organization, with the secret help of Liu Xinjie, a member of the ** party who had been undercover for many years, started a life-and-death battle with the spies of the Kuomintang's Eighth Intelligence Bureau headed by Tan Zhongshu. "The Breaking Drummer" director Zhang Ran joined hands with Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo to create a piece..."

After watching the trailer for "Before Dawn", Zhang Ran's face sank: "What the hell is Peking TV? How can I meet Teacher Zhang Jiandong if I do this!" (To be continued.)
