I returned to the place where I lived in despair. The environment here was much better than the basement where I lived last time in the capital, but the person next door was missing.
Lying in bed, Tang Wei couldn't help but think about what happened this time last year.
On the day he returned to the capital, Tang Wei thought about contacting Zhang Chu, but he couldn't make up his mind.
Every time she picked up her phone and entered Zhang Chu's phone number, the moment she was about to dial it out, she would think of the scene she saw in Hengdian that day.
What is the relationship between Zhang Chu and that woman?
Lover?
If they weren't lovers, why would they be so intimate?
As long as he thinks of these, Tang Wei will immediately lose his courage.
She left on her own initiative in the first place. If so, why should she imagine that Zhang Chu would always wait for her.
But they always have to meet, and for no other reason than she still owes Zhang Chu money.
The training fee and other expenses totaled 5,200 yuan.
Tang Wei doesn't like to owe others.
I picked up the phone and entered the familiar number again. After hesitating for a long time, I finally didn't have the courage to call it.
She didn't know what she would say if the call came through.
If it doesn't work, just give the money to Huang Bo and ask him to help pay it back, which can be regarded as a settlement.
At the same time, Zhang Chu also packed his things and went to the train station.
No matter how urgent Yuan Heping is, don't let him fly. This is a matter of principle.
Fortunately, it's not the summer vacation yet and it's not the peak period for railway operations. I bought a sleeper ticket and boarded the train 40 minutes later.
Lying all the way, Zhang Chu appeared at Huangshan Railway Station near dusk.
"Hey! Director Yuan, I'm already here."
"Wait a minute, I just asked Azhao to pick you up. Contact him and he will tell you the specific situation."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chu called Gu Xuanzhao again.
The two exchanged codes for a long time and finally connected.
Get in the car and go straight to the hotel. On the way, Gu Xuanzhao briefly introduced to Zhang Chu the role he was going to audition for this time.
only……
Can you be a little more specific?
What does it mean that the character is a bandit who robbed a woman and then fell in love with her. He is willing to change himself for this woman, but only later realizes that he cannot have this woman?
Zhang Chu was confused and confused when he heard what he was saying.
"Forget it, forget it, just read the script yourself."
Gu Xuanzhao also realized that there was a problem with his expression, so he simply gave the script to Zhang Chu.
I had a script and didn't know to come up with it early, which wasted time.
Before arriving at the hotel, Zhang Chu quickly opened the script and started reading it.
The character he plays is named Luo Xiaohu.
When he appeared on the stage, he was identified as a criminal thief. Regarding his origin, there was no introduction in the script.
The entire story line about this character is related to another character Yu Jiaolong.
Just because he met Yu Jiaolong, he was deeply attracted by it, so he took him to the grassland.
The two of them had never known each other before, but they developed feelings during the back-and-forth competition.
Later, when Yu Jiaolong returned to the capital, Luo Xiaohu chased him and made a big fuss at Yu Jiaolong's wedding.
Luo Xiaohu is a typical prairie man with a bold personality and unique martial arts skills.
He used martial arts and brute force to make Yu Jiaolong surrender, and their relationship was born.
It's a pity that Yu Jiaolong's noble status destined her to be unable to be with Xiaohu from the beginning.
Don't say that Luo Xiaohu is not a thief, even if he is an ordinary person, there is no way he can be with Yu Jiaolong.
This is probably what Gu Xuanzhao said, that he fell in love with an unavailable woman.
Zhang Chu, who has acted in several dramas, is no longer the rookie he was before. He also understands how to analyze characters' personalities after reading scripts.
This was what Zhang Jingchu taught him.
Generally speaking, Luo Xiaohu is considered a naive character who goes with the flow, which may be related to the living habits of ethnic minorities.
His gang name is Ban Bian Yun, and he makes a living by robbing, but whenever he robs, he will emphasize "Don't touch women and children."
It can be seen from this that Luo Xiaohu is not a heinous person, and he still has some thoughts of his own.
After meeting Yu Jiaolong, he will tell Yu Jiaolong that he liked stars when he was a child, which shows the cuteness of this character.
And it was because of his innocence that he allowed Yu Jiaolong to return to his parents. He felt that if he and Yu Jiaolong had a child, and they suddenly disappeared, their parents would definitely think about it.
It can be seen that Luo Xiaohu is an innocent character, which may be a common character of nomadic tribes.
Regarding the ending of the character Luo Xiaohu, it can be seen that the screenwriter has a lot of unfinished words.
In the script, the final scene was fixed at the moment when Yu Jiaolong jumped off the cliff.
Zhang Chu didn't know whether Luo Xiaohu jumped down with him or turned around and returned to the grassland.
Maybe it was written in the original work.
Gu Xuanzhao just said that this script is adapted from a martial arts novel.
"How is it? Do you have confidence?"
Faced with Gu Xuanzhao's question, Zhang Chu didn't know how to answer.
He quite likes the character Luo Xiaohu. In the whole story, everyone longs for freedom. The male protagonist Li Mubai chooses to retire from the world. It is because of this. Yu Xiulian helps Li Mubai deliver the sword. This is also true. Yu Jiaolong longs for the world even more so.
But the only one who is truly free is Luo Xiaohu. He always knows exactly what he wants.
Relatively speaking, the male protagonist Li Mubai lives a very tiring life.
She wanted to find the real murderer of her master, the blue-eyed fox, and avenge her master.
He wanted to retire from the world, but he couldn't let go of his sect. He hoped to accept Yu Jiaolong as his disciple, and also hoped to find a qualified successor to Wudang Xuan Ni's sword technique.
Even the woman he loved didn't dare to express his love because of his good brother.
Luo Xiaohu was different. He wanted Yu Jiaolong, so he wanted to snatch it back directly.
Really free and easy.
At this time, the car also arrived downstairs of the hotel.
"Let's go and see Master Ba first."
Zhang Chu followed Gu Xuanzhao upstairs.
It was already in good condition when I entered.
There is no need to do anything more, it is enough to show a little bit of the deadly virtues of his good brother Ding Xiu.
Because Zhang Chu had never seen anyone living as carefree and carefree as Ding Xiu before.
"Yuan Dao."
Zhang Chu said and walked up to Yuan Heping.
Yuan Heping looked up and couldn't help being stunned.
Is this Zhang Chu?
Yes, it is indeed that face, but...
Why does it feel different?
"Have you read the script?"
"seen it already."
Yuan Heping nodded and understood what was going on. The wanton publicity of Zhang Chu in front of him at this moment was exactly what Luo Xiaohu was prepared for.
"You have many competitors this time, and they are all very strong."
Although Li An didn't say it clearly, Yuan Heping could guess what Li An was thinking.
The male lead is from Hong Kong, the female lead is a Malaysian Chinese movie star, and the second female lead is a newcomer from Mainland China. The second male lead should be an actor from Taiwan.
Therefore, among Li An's alternative actors, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhen Zidan can be directly crossed out.
The one I want to choose the most is actually one of Zhang Zhen and Wu Qilong.
The willingness to give Zhang Chu a chance to audition was entirely based on Yuan Heping's face.
"It doesn't matter, I have confidence in myself."
Yuan Heping smiled when he heard this: "Okay, I will take you to see the director later. Have you figured out what to do?"
Of course Zhang Chu knew that if he saw the director talking about his understanding of the characters, he would probably go back in embarrassment today.
The director may have a deeper understanding of every character in the story than the screenwriter or even the original author.
Is it necessary for an actor who came to audition to boast?
If Zhang Chu wants to win this role, all he has to do is show what the director needs.
What does a director need?
That depends on why Yuan Heping called him over.
The most effective thing about Zhang Chu is his real kung fu.
"Fists and kicks? Knife? Sword? Or...something else?"
Yuan Heping laughed when he heard this and pointed at Zhang Chu. It took him a long time to stop.
"Just understand. I won't give you any questions today. I'll just pick the one you're best at."
"no problem!"
What is Zhang Chu best at?
Of course it was Miao Dao.
"Director Li has time at night, so you should prepare well."
After warning, Yuan Heping asked Gu Xuanzhao to take Zhang Chu to the badminton hall behind the hotel, but it was now rented by the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" crew.
When Zhang Chu was brought in, inside the venue, a slightly thin and petite woman was practicing sword practice under the guidance of a coach.
ha!
The woman turned around and struck a sword.
Zhang Chu met his eyes and looked familiar.
Li Xiangjun?
wrong!
It’s Zhang Ziyi!
We had met once before in Beijing and had drinks together.
I remember that I wanted to practice for Zhang Ziyi, as if I was selected by a big director to star in a movie.
It turned out to be "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", what a coincidence.
Zhang Ziyi also recognized Zhang Chu.
There was confusion in his eyes, as if he couldn't figure out why Zhang Chu appeared here.
Speaking of which, she had a deep impression of Zhang Chu.
He is handsome and well-dressed. Unlike the boys in the class, all their brains are used on how to beat the female classmate Qiu Feng.
"Zhang Chu!"
Zhang Chu smiled and waved: "Classmate Zhang, we meet again."
Zhang Ziyi looked puzzled: "You are here..."
"Audition!"
Zhang Chu said and looked at the weapon rack against the wall.
He was training alone, but the preparations were quite complete. What surprised Zhang Chu was that there was actually a Miao knife here.
Because the blade is as slender as a grain seedling, it is called the Miao Dao.
He walked over and took it off, took the knife out of its sheath, and waved it twice in his hand.
The coach who had just instructed Zhang Ziyi to practice swordsmanship said casually: "Young man, the Miao Dao is not easy to master, be careful of hurting yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.
I saw Zhang Chu holding swords in both hands, standing in front of him, his wrists suddenly turning, chopping, chopping, cutting, belting, and stabbing. A set of sword techniques combined with footwork were performed, which made people dizzy and almost dizzy.
this……
What was even more shocking was Zhang Ziyi. She had known that Zhang Chu was an actor before, so she seemed to have nothing incomprehensible about coming to this crew to audition.
But the director of this play is Li An, and the co-stars are Zhou Runfa and Yang Ziqiong.
Zhang Chu came to audition?
Is it possible to get the role?
Moreover, this is a martial arts film and the requirements for actors are very high.
The most basic thing is to have martial arts skills. Didn't you see that she was studying hard and practicing hard?
But when Zhang Chu showed this set of sword skills, Zhang Ziyi believed it.
People said they were here for an audition, which was really not a joke.
