Li Man knew that Zhang Ran was not talking about it, but this is the second female lead in Zhang Yimou's movie. Which newcomer can refuse? She mustered up the courage to say, "Teacher Zhang, this is the second female lead director, and it is the second female lead. Please let me go!"

Zhang Ran knows what it means for a newcomer to be able to star in Zhang Yimou's movie. The girl has her own style and debuts as a second-tier actor. Compared with other actors who have gotten up step by step from the bottom, they are really a one-step success. No newcomer can resist this temptation. If Zhang Ran stands in Li Man's position, he will definitely act.

However, as the head teacher of Class 1 of the undergraduate degree in 2005, Zhang Ran understood Li Man, but still couldn't make such a hole. If Li Man was letting him go out to film, what would other students think? Who would still devote himself to studying and performing? He ran out to audition, so the class would be out of control.

This hole must not be opened!

Zhang Ran looked at Li Man and said coldly: "I don't agree with Spielberg's female lead. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Either stay in school and study honestly, or drop out of school to film!"

Li Man's expression was very serious, and she looked at the ground with her lips pursed. She had expected this to be the result before she came, and had already thought about what to do. She said in a heavy tone: "Teacher Zhang, then I'll drop out of school!"

Zhang Ran looked at Li Man with a stubborn expression, sighed secretly, and then said solemnly: "Have you thought about it? Are you sure you want to drop out of school and go filming?"

Li Man hesitated for a while and said firmly: "Teacher Zhang, I have decided that I will go filming."

Zhang Ran said, "Teacher Yan is not here now. She and Teacher Li are out to buy things. When you come to her later, she will give you an application form for withdrawal. After filling out the application form, come to me to sign, and then take it to the school to stamp it. When you finish all the procedures, come to me and I will tell you some things!"

Li Man nodded and said, "I understand, Teacher Zhang!"

The procedures for dropping out of school were not complicated. By the afternoon of the next day, Li Man finished the procedures. Just when she finished the procedures, she thought that she would not be a member of here since then, so she crawled on the bed and cried sadly.

After crying, Li Man suddenly remembered that Zhang Ran had told him that he would go to him after completing the procedures. He had something to say, so he came to the office.

Zhang Ran looked at Li Man standing in front of him and asked, "Have the procedures been completed?"

Li Man nodded: "I'll leave school tomorrow and report to the crew!"

Zhang Ran sighed and said, "After all, we have a teacher-student game, and I want to say something. "Golden Armor" is a drama directed by Zhang Yimou. After acting, you will be a girl. This is a big halo and will give you a very high starting point. In the short term, you don't have to worry about not having a film, and they are all female leads; but at the same time, godfather, unspoken rules, and all kinds of criticisms accompany you. You must learn to adapt and not be defeated by these rumors!"

Li Man nodded. The training over the past six months has not only honed her body, but also honed her will. Now she is much stronger than when she first entered school.

Zhang Ran continued: "You have been studying Grotowsky for half a year. The foundation is very good, but you have not received training in acting skills. There will be certain problems in creating roles. You must make up for the missing courses. After performing "Golden Armor", you should sign up for a training class in Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama. Or ask the teacher to conduct special training so that you can go further. Remember my words, no matter how high the starting point is, no matter how bright the halo of the girl is, it will only support you for a while. Actors ultimately rely on acting skills, so you have to work hard to hone your acting skills. This is the basis for you to settle down as an actor!"

When Li Man heard Zhang Ran say this, he asked expectantly: "Teacher Zhang, can I come back to attend the class?"

Zhang Ran said firmly: "No, if I can get you back, why should I let you leave!"

Li Man bit his lip and felt very sad.

Zhang Ran opened the drawer, took out a book and placed it in front of Li Man: "I originally wanted to give you a copy of Stella Adler's "The Art of Performance", but there is no Chinese version, and you can't understand the English version, so I'll give you a copy of "Six Lectures on Acting"!"

Li Man looked at the book with a red look: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "This book has been a long time, but it is a very practical book. I heard Zhou Xingchi talk about this. Wu Mengda was a wireless man and was a grinding man every day. After finishing work, he went to drink and gambling. He didn't get a clue until he met an old actor Guan Haishan. Under Guan Haishan's teachings, Wu Mengda understood what acting is. Back then, Guan Haishan not only taught him a lot of things to Wu Mengda, but also gave him a photocopy of "Six Lectures of Acting". After Wu Mengda got this book, he was like a treasure. After reading it, he gave it to Liu Qingyun. After reading it, Liu Qingyun gave it to his friend Wu Zhenyu. After reading it, Wu Zhenyu was asked by Zhou Xingchi... In this way, the photocopy of "Six Lectures of Acting" played a magical effect and taught three actors of the Academy Awards and two best supporting actors. So if you have time, you will be helpful to you!"

Li Man's tears fell down and she choked and said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Ran waved his hand: "Okay, you go!"

Li Man bowed deeply to Zhang Ran, turned around and walked out of the office.

Zhang Ran didn't know if Li Man put his words into his heart. He didn't want Li Man to fall from the clouds after acting in "Golden Armor" like he did in his previous life and never had any work to show off.

There is a teacher-student fight, and Zhang Ran really hopes that Li Man can have a good future.

Li Man's departure did not cause any sensation. There were many envys, but it was just envy. After envying, everyone studied more seriously. Others were already girls, so how could they do it if they didn't work hard. So the students in Zhang Ran's class conducted observation and training more seriously, observing fruits, trees, pedestrians, and everything they could observe.

On March 1, China Film Group, the Peak of the Century, the Tangshan Municipal Government held a press conference at the Peking Hotel and officially launched the movie "Tangshan Earthquake".

Like other projects involving governments, the beginning was a speech by leaders from all walks of life. Zhang Hongsen, deputy director of the General Administration, mayor of Tangshan City, and the leaders of China Film. Of course, Zhang Ran, as the main investor and director, was naturally not immune to the vulgarity. He went on stage to make a generous speech, expressing his intention to make a film into a work that can stand the test and has the spirit of course.

Next is the most important process of the press conference, the signing ceremony. In fact, at the peak of the century, China Film and Tangshan had already signed a joint filming agreement. Just for publicity, everyone pretended to sign it again.

When signing the contract, the flash kept flashing, and the news media reported this scene wildly.

After the signing ceremony, Zhang Ran accepted an interview with the media and answered reporters' questions.

A reporter asked: "Director Zhang, why do you want to film the subject of the Tangshan earthquake?"

Zhang Ran replied: "There is a saying now. Foreigners say that many Chinese people follow the trend, that is, the Chinese have no faith. At every turn, the Chinese have no faith, so what. I think it is wrong. Our nation has experienced five thousand years of ups and downs, countless hardships, and even the crisis of national destruction. How can we get to where we are today? Without spirit and faith support, can our nation reach where we are today? I am afraid it will disperse long ago.

Last August, I came back from visiting Bergman and accidentally saw a report about the Tangshan earthquake and found some information to read it. After reading it, I was particularly moved. The entire city was almost destroyed due to the earthquake in 1976, but the surviving people built a brand new city based on the ruins. I just thought that Tangshan is a microcosm of our nation, and the spirit of the Tangshan people supports the spirit of our nation? At that time, I made up my mind to make this movie."

A reporter asked: "Do you think earthquake-themed movies should avoid real scenes and reproduce them? How do you view the secondary harm of film and television works to the affected people?"

Zhang Ran felt that the problem was malicious and frowned and explained: "The script was written by Teacher Liu Heng. We were not satisfied with the fourth draft he wrote at the beginning. When writing the fifth draft, he met a person who had experienced a major earthquake. The experience of this person was almost the same as the framework of our story. Liu Heng put her experience into the story. Of course, this was allowed by the other party. Teacher Liu Heng interviewed many witnesses, and everyone hoped to have an excellent movie to commemorate the disaster. Our country is a country with earthquake-prone country. Last year alone, there were 11 earthquake-prone events in China and millions of people were affected. If our movie can improve everyone's awareness of earthquakes, then I think it is very meaningful."

A reporter asked: "Do you think this movie can touch witnesses who came out of the earthquake?"

Zhang Ran pondered for a moment and said, "There will be touching scenes in this movie, but I am not shooting this movie to make everyone cry, but I hope everyone will laugh. I think that after watching the movie, you can walk out of the cinema with a smile, that is the greatest success of the movie. I am shooting this movie to bring warmth and hope to the audience!"

No matter what problems he encountered, Zhang Ran answered patiently, but he kept his mouth shut about the plot of the movie.

At the end of the press conference, Zhang Ran did not forget to ask media reporters for help: "We prepared that other work is progressing smoothly now, but we are in trouble with props. I hope everyone can help us send a message to collect information on daily necessities from the 1970s, such as enamel cups at that time, bicycles at that time? Sometimes hundreds of bicycles are needed in a shot, and if it is done, it will be too expensive. Who has bicycles, sewing machines or hot pots from that era, can you donate some of them to us? If it really doesn't work, it's okay to sell them to us at a cheap price."

After the press conference, the headlines of the domestic media entertainment version were all about this press conference. Almost all media focused on the issue of props, and many articles even directly wrote "Collection of old items from the whole country" in the title.

Domestic viewers responded positively after seeing the report. Many people called the newspaper hotline to express their willingness to donate bicycles and other items free of charge. Many people on the movie's official website also left messages saying that they were willing to take out their idle old items and give them free use of the movie.

To express his memorial and gratitude, Zhang Ran personally designed a certificate of honor in the 1970s style, attached his own signature, and issued it to the donors of the items that were hired.

Just as Zhang Ran was busy signing his autograph, he suddenly received a strange call.

The voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone: "Hello, is it director Zhang Ran?"

Zhang Ran replied: "It's me, don't you?"

The man introduced himself: "My name is Fan Jianchuan. I am a collector and the director of Jianchuan Museum. We have 5 million collections from the 1970s. When you hear that you are missing props from the 1970s, we may be able to provide some help to Director Zhang's new film."

Zhang Ran pressed his forehead and stood up immediately and said, "Mr. Fan, I have long been acquainted with great reputation. I am such a pig brain. How can I forget you, the most famous collector in China. If you can help us, it really solves our biggest difficulty!"
