With a violent storm, suddenly the schedule is very tense.

At noon the next day, Xu Nankai suddenly said that he would drive Xu Zhizhen to meet the director.Xu Zhizhen was still lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone, so he got out of bed and changed clothes quickly after being frightened.

The director's surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Song'an. He is from the mainland and has been developing in Hong Kong. He married a Hong Kong wife and settled down in Hong Kong.In the past two years, the inland film industry has developed rapidly, and he also took advantage of the trend to enter. A commercial film released last year was very effective, and his net worth has also increased a lot.

On the way, Xu Nankai briefly explained the outline of the book to Xu Zhizhen.

It's an old screenwriter's book, handed over by the management, it's considered a patriotic blockbuster, and it's tentatively scheduled for next year's National Day.Speaking of it, Chen Songan’s success is not easy. Working hard in Hong Kong is hard work. He started from shooting MVs and commercials, and later he was appreciated by others and learned from his master. , A little bit to the back can shoot TV dramas and movies.

"His style is a combination of Hong Kong style and the new style of the Mainland. The old Hong Kong style has not been good in recent years, and new things need to be proposed. He has done a good job. Did you read last year's "Road to Fengyue"? The book Not particularly good, but his skills are good, and he is destined to win the prize." Xu Nankai was a little emotional, "Our old comrades made their way one by one. All these years of hard work were not in vain.”

The raindrops slammed on the car windows, forming a dense rain curtain. The outside and surroundings were blurred, and the traffic of cars coming and going was chaotic.Xu Zhizhen looked outside intently, and said, "This subject is pretty good, but it's a serious subject, so it's hard to be too relaxed."

"Yes, grasping this speed is the key. But there is basically no need to worry about the box office. Next year's [-]th anniversary, the National Day films will not be too bad."

Chen Song'an will stay in Shanghai for a long time and rented a house.When old friends meet, Xu Nankai goes directly to his house.

--------

"Hello, Uncle Chen, I'm Xu Zhizhen."

Chen Song'an was unexpectedly young, and he couldn't tell he was nearly fifty years old. His accent had a hint of Hong Kong pop, and he explained with a smile that he was brought up by his wife and children.

"Obviously an old Beijinger, but it turned out to be Hong Kong Pu. I am really ashamed of my parents."

Xu Nankai and Chen Song'an talked about the past, and soon got to the point.

"As for this role, the role is not very important, but it plays a very strong role in our film book. At that time, the actor who was appointed at the time broke the appointment and went to film an online drama. He said he was the male lead. There was someone behind him, and the management agreed to let him I can find someone casually, but I have watched dozens of them, and I am not very satisfied. The quack is too strong. I was thinking about finding a film school to see. I just talked to Lao Xu, and he said that he has a son. I'm a freshman at the Film Academy, and I'm coming over on November. It just so happens that I'm happy if it's suitable and usable."

Chen Song'an made a pot of tea, talked cheerfully for a while, and then asked Xu Zhizhen to stand up and walk a few steps. After seeing his body, height and temperament, he was not bad.

It was Xu Zhizhen's first contact with the crew to audition, he was ignorant and at a loss, and he couldn't show any haste on his face, so he stood there pretending to be calm, listening to Chen Song'an's orders.Xu Nankai only had to bring it, and the rest depended on his own efforts. Holding the teacup and blowing with his head down, he was very stable.

"The script is over there, you can take a look. Just choose the fourth act for the audition, and act here when you are ready."

Xu Zhizhen took a few thin sheets of paper, the first one was a biography of the character, and the last few sheets were excerpts of the scenes, all the scenes of the young Fu Bu he played.

The film is tentatively titled "Daguangmen", which tells the growth process of the young Hu Hua after the Republic of China period.He was born in an aristocratic family in the Republic of China, and returned from studying abroad. He is not a very serious person. He is naughty and a little rebellious. He learned art. Ways to contribute to the country.

Fu Bu is Hu Hua's good friend. They grew up together, studied in England together, returned to China to serve the motherland together, and finally died tragically under the guns of the enemy.

Chen Song'an didn't tell him who the other actors are, but Xu Zhizhen can vaguely see that the investment in this movie is not small, and it's ambitious to release it on National Day next year, his ambition is clear.Holding the script list, he went through the lines at a glance, but couldn't help but think for a moment: I'm a freshman, is it really okay to act in this kind of movie as soon as I come out?Is he... joining the group by relationship?

He just thought about it. After reading the book, he thought about the character of the character. After establishing the image of Fu Bu in his heart based on the biography, he spent half a moment reciting the lines into the play. Zhizhen deliberately didn't listen to it, and felt that it was about the same after going to the audition, and walked over to Chen Song'an and said, "Director Chen, I'm ready."

With a smile still on his face, Chen Song'an turned his head and said to him, "Well, let's perform here."

Xu Zhizhen stood still, looking at Chen Songan and Xu Nankai in front of him, he was nervous for a moment, and also a little ashamed of his father in front of him, but he quickly put it behind him, took a deep breath, bowed and raised his head, his face changed look.

He has never been auditioned by a crew, so he doesn't know the specific process, but he is somewhat influenced by rumors in twos and threes.There is no one to accompany him to audition, no scenes, no costumes, so what is the difference from his usual practice in acting class?At most, Xie Bei was missing to play against him, and the rest was no different.

Xu Zhizhen's self-confidence almost comes from his ignorance of the unknown, and the young man's spirit supports him to go on without fear.

Fu Bu in his youth, he was naive and knew a little bit of the world, unlike his good friend Hu Hua, who was precocious, he was clean and innocent, occasionally simple and honest. If you like painting, you must do your best.

His shortcoming is that he is too perfect, he has regrets, he never gives up, and he is persistent and refuses to give up, which leads to his early death.

Xu Zhizhen had a shy and restrained smile on his face, and looked at the people next to him, "Hu Hua, what are you going to do in the future?"

Hearing the response, he smiled slightly, bit his lower lip, and looked a little embarrassed, with a hint of determination in his eyes, "Actually, I want to be a painter and paint all the great mountains and rivers of the motherland for my mother to see."

He shook his head, "My mother is not the main reason why I want to be a painter, of course it's because I like it very much. But I think... it will be better if my mother gets better."

He looks clean, looking forward to the better days in the future, wandering the streets and alleys of Beiping with his friends every day, surrounded by peace and stability, the teachers in the school have long white beards, and the female students are delicate and pretty, and they will be shy when talking to them.

Who would have thought that he would die in battle in his favorite Beiping, in the smoke of gunpowder, and close his eyes forever before seeing the great rivers and mountains.

When we left, the rain had stopped, the air was fresh, filled with the special smell of soil and grass after the rain, there was always a feeling of going back to the past, the carefree primary school, he went home after school, put down his schoolbag and went to the yard to have a chat with him. The day when the neighbors play.

Xu Nankai told him, "Report to the counselor after returning to school. The movie will start shooting in November. You will join the crew around mid-November and shoot for about a week. The leave statement will be issued to you by the crew after a while, and you will prepare it yourself. Good coordination."

Xu Zhizhen still vaguely felt that it was a little unreal, so he nodded and asked him again, "I really passed it? So I went to make a movie?"

Xu Nankai smiled and looked at him, "Yes, you passed."

Xu Zhizhen rubbed his face, a little dazed.

He never thought that the audition would be so simple?It's that easy?Movie?Will he be able to make movies in his freshman year?He is a newcomer in the complete sense, and he doesn't even have a company.

Xu Nankai smiled, "Don't think too much, I just offer you an opportunity, and it's your own ability to win it. Although there is one thing that cannot be denied, it is very difficult for you to get this opportunity without this relationship, but, It's not shameful. It's shameful not to be worthy of the opportunity, but you are not, you can be qualified for such an opportunity." He made a corner and drove into another tree-lined path, and there was a gust of wind, "And old Chen What he likes is your youthfulness, your innocence that has not been polished. He has been in Hong Kong for so many years, and what he has seen most is actually new actors. He used to be a casting director for three or four years, and his eyes are very sharp. Don’t I’m worried that I asked him to lower his standards. I’m not ashamed to tell you. Before he came here, he told me that there is a high probability that he will fail. Even if the student is strong, but because of impromptu performance and timidity, he often does not perform well, and he will not let you go because of my face, and the outcome will be determined once, saying that we will meet today."

As he spoke, he laughed again, and it seemed that he was pleasantly surprised, "No one expected you to perform so well. It seems that you are really a person who eats this bowl of food. Lao Chen and I are very surprised and very satisfied. And Well, even if you go to the film school, you are selected from among the current students, from freshmen to seniors to audition. There may be someone better than you, but you come first, and he is the first to take a fancy to you, so you will It worked."

Driving past a dessert shop, the sweet smell wafted in the breeze. Xu Nankai asked Xu Zhizhen if he wanted to eat it.

They parked the car, got out of the car and went to the store to buy a few different cakes. They specially bought the soft ones, which were suitable for Wu Xiufang and Xu Jiacheng.

"But grandpa can't eat too much sweet."

Xu Nankai didn't care much, "It's okay, don't you still have us, are you afraid you won't be able to finish eating?"

He was really happy, he bought several pieces of cakes, and the creases at the corners of his eyes never faded away, but Xu Zhizhen was also immersed in his own surprise and joy, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Xu Nankai.

After all... For him, making a movie is really a distant thing, and no one thought it would come so early.

Whether it was good or bad, Xu Zhizhen didn't know.

But there is always nothing wrong with going on.
