Chapter 1426 1429 [Meet each other late]
"Director Zhang, I think these people are also suitable, what do you think?" Xiang Nan then laughed.
Zhang Yimou looked at the four girls in front of him, and felt that they were all good, each with their own strengths.
Shi Ke is wild, Gong Li is majestic, Jin Lili is dignified, Wu Yujuan is soft... It can be said that they are Chunlan Qiuju, each is good at winning.
But to be honest, he still prefers Shi Ke more.
First, Shi Ke's image is more outstanding; second, he just learned that Shi Ke has already made a movie this year and has certain acting experience. For a rookie director like him, familiarity is worse than familiarity.
"All good, all good." Zhang Yimou nodded perfunctorily.
Xiang Nan smiled, seeing Zhang Yimou's perfunctory, but he still hit the snake with the stick, and said with a smile, "Then I will give each of you a chance. This is the script of "Red Sorghum", you can use it to figure it out." .Let’s have an official audition tomorrow.”
As he spoke, he handed several pieces of manuscript paper to Gong Li and Shi Ke respectively.
Several people nodded.
Xiang Nan and Zhang Yimou then left.
After they left, Gong Li and Shi Ke immediately asked for leave and went to the bookstore to buy the novel "Red Sorghum". Then, while reading the novel, I read the script, figured out the characters, analyzed the plot, and prepared for tomorrow's audition.
…
That night, Xiang Nan invited Zhang Yimou to have a drink together.
"How dare you do this, Professor Cheng, I should invite you." Zhang Yimou said flattered.
"Hey, you come to Yanjing. I am the host and you are the guest. Of course I invite you. When I go to Chang'an next time, you can invite me again." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Besides, it is not a good wine. The food is Old Yanjing’s boiled meat, it’s my own business, so don’t be polite to me.”
Zhang Yimou nodded with a smile when he heard this.
Then the two came to Jinmanying, ordered shabu-shabu, and ordered a bottle of Moutai. They ate, drank and chatted with great interest.
As a director, Zhang Yimou must have something in his stomach. Xiang Nan's knowledge is even more extensive, no matter what Zhang Yimou says, he can pick up the words.
Therefore, the two talked very intimately, making Zhang Yimou feel that he and Xiang Nan hit it off right away and hated seeing each other later.
The reason why Xiang Nan invited Zhang Yimou to dinner was because of his potential.
Now Zhang Yimou is nothing. Even if he is a world-class photographer and the best actor in the Tokyo Film Festival, except for a little influence in the industry, no one will recognize him when he goes out.
But in a few years, Zhang Yimou will be one of the best directors in the Mainland. Literary and commercial films, grasping with both hands, hard with both hands, is a ruthless stubble.
Such a talent, even though Xiang Nan doesn't want to take it for his own use, he is still willing to form a romantic relationship. For him, it was nothing more than a matter of effort.
…
Turning around, Xiang Nan and Zhang Yimou went to the Chinese opera to audition again.
Gong Li, Shi Ke and others were all ready, and then entered the classroom one by one to audition.
Xiang Nan admired their performance very much.
I have to say that acting really depends on talent. Although they are still junior students, they are already very mature in terms of acting skills.
Xiang Nan thought to himself, if he hadn't inherited Fang Yifan's acting experience, relying on his own talent alone, he would be far from reaching the level of proficiency like others, which made him feel a lot of emotion.
After the test, Zhang Yimou did not announce the result in public, but on the way back, he said to Xiang Nan, "Professor Cheng, I think Shi Ke is the best."
Although Shi Ke is excellent, he feels that Gong Li is better.
For one thing, Gong Li is more beautiful. Although Shi Ke is not bad, but compared to Gong Li, he is inferior;
Secondly, Gong Li's acting skills are better and he has more supportive potential. She has successively won the Hundred Flowers Award, Golden Rooster Award, Golden Statue Award, Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival... her acting skills are well-known. Although Shi Ke has made many movies, the awards are far behind.
Three things, it's feelings. He has seen many of Gong Li's movies before, such as "Red Sorghum", "Farewell My Concubine", "Raise the Red Lantern", "Tang Bohu Spots the Autumn Fragrance" and so on. He also has a very good impression of her. He said it was a childhood Goddess is not too much.
"Professor Cheng, can you give me some time to think about it?" Zhang Yimou refused directly, and said tactfully.
Xiang Nan nodded, and asked Zhang Yimou for dinner at night, and asked why Zhang Yimou chose Shi Ke instead of Gong Li.
Zhang Yimou then expressed his point of view.
Compared with Gong Li, Shi Ke has a more wild temperament and looks more energetic.
After eating, Xiang Nan sent Zhang Yimou back to the hotel, and immediately rushed back to Zhongxi to find Gong Li.
"Professor Cheng?! What do you want me to do?" Gong Li was a little surprised when he saw Xiang Nan.
He came so late and smelled of alcohol, so she couldn't help but think about it.
"Listen to me, Director Zhang has already finalized Shi Ke for the heroine of "Red Sorghum." Xiang Nan looked at her and said, "However, I think you still have a chance."
Gong Li was taken aback when he heard this.
A moment later, she nodded resolutely, as if she had made some major decision, "Then I will do whatever you want me to do."
"Tomorrow you will accompany me to meet with Director Zhang and fight for one last chance." Xiang Nan said.
"That's it?" Gong Li was taken aback.
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, you can go back." After speaking, he turned and left.
Gong Li scratched his head, a little surprised.
…
Turning around, Xiang Nan picked up Gong Li early in the morning and took her to the beauty salon first.
Not only helped her design a big wavy curly hair, but also helped her draw a flaming red lip makeup, which made her look more **** and charming.
Gong Li looked at himself in the mirror, and was a little surprised.
She originally thought that she was good at dressing up, but when she was walking on the road, she often attracted the attention of passers-by.
But unexpectedly, Xiang Nan was even better. Hairstyling, beauty and make-up are all unprofessionals. Under his attire, she had undergone an earth-shaking change, and she felt like a different person.
Xiang Nan then took her to the Friendship Store and bought a DIOR tight deep V dress for her to change into.
Wearing a long skirt on the upper body, Gong Li felt noble, sexual, elegant and charming, like a horse turned into a phoenix.
"Well, it's almost there." Xiang Nan looked at her who had successfully disguised herself, nodded with a smile, and then took her to see Zhang Yimou, "What Director Zhang means is that you are not as sexual as Shi Ke. I will help you dress up now." After that, you should be able to beat her."
Although Gong Li is beautiful, her evaluation is a bit divided. Some people think that she is dignified and full of oriental beauty; but some people think that she has a rustic temperament and is not outstanding enough.
Gong Li nodded and said gratefully, "Professor Cheng, thank you so much."
"You're welcome, let's go." Xiang Nan smiled, and then took her to the hotel where Zhang Yimou lived, "Director Zhang, you thought Miss Gong was not wild enough yesterday, you can watch it today~"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands. Gong Li pushed the door open and came in. Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up when he saw it.
