I’m Really a Superstar

The next day, morning.

In the suburbs of Beijing, it is the largest film and television base in Beijing.

Last time, Zhang Ye also got a cameo role in a movie called "Martial Arts" through Zhang Yuanqi's recommendation. At that time, he had been here before when he was not very famous. Today, after driving here familiarly, Zhang Ye Ye's reputation is no longer what it used to be, and the role he auditioned for was no longer a supporting role, but a major supporting role. His mission this time is to win this role, pave the way for himself in the film industry in advance, and relieve the embarrassment of not having a job recently. He also wants to reach the threshold of a second-tier star.

The place has arrived.

"Teacher Zhang."

"Ai."

"Are you here? Come with me."

"good."

He got off the car, and someone from the crew was waiting outside to pick him up. After turning around and around, the crew led Zhang Ye to an area inside. It was the set of a modern drama, but it was probably a scene involving explosions, and there were all props next to it. It's ready, so 80% of it can't be shot elsewhere. This shot can only be shot at the film and television base. And the scene there is also very chaotic. There are many extras. There are people from the crew talking to everyone. It seems that the crew is very nervous. I'm anxious, I guess I'll have to cast the actors today, and then I'll have to reshoot the scenes.

In the work shed.

Someone is already auditioning.

As soon as Zhang Ye came in, he saw the director Wang Chengpeng, the assistant director and several staff members in the innermost area. A male star was performing. Several leading actors from movies such as Zhang Yuanqi and Dalong were standing on the outside. More than a dozen people Watching the actors inside try out their roles.

The crew member whispered: "Teacher Zhang, please wait a moment."

"Okay." Zhang Ye nodded.

Zhang Yuanqi looked over and smiled, "Xiao Zhang?"

Zhang Ye quickly walked over and said, "Sister Zhang."

"Long time no see." Zhang Yuanqi stretched out his hand cheerfully.

Zhang Ye held her fake hand and thought, "It's been a long time no see. You went to my house two days ago. You haven't compensated me for my Clivia's money yet."

Zhang Yuanqi smiled and said, "How are you doing lately?"

Zhang Ye also smiled, "It's good, I'm resting at home.

"

The two chatted for a few words and seemed very polite. It seemed to others that they knew each other but were not familiar with each other. Many people knew that Zhang Ye had written songs for Zhang Yuanqi, so it was not surprising that the two had known each other for a long time. But in fact, the friendship between Zhang Ye and Zhang Yuanqi was definitely not clear to others. Seeing Lao Zhang smiling so kindly, Zhang Ye felt uncomfortable. This Lao Zhang was a master who did one thing in front of others and another behind him. .

Over there, the second male lead also came over, "Zhang Ye."

Zhang Ye looked at him, shook hands with him, and said, "Hello."

The second male lead smiled and said, "I've admired you for a long time."

"I am the one who has admired your name for a long time." Zhang Ye also said politely.

Zhang Ye read the credits and knew that his name was Tian Xuetao. He was very young. He should be a few years older than Zhang Ye, but not much older. He was a film and television actor who had just emerged in the past two years. He should have been debuting for many years, but I have always been a bit player and a supporting actor, but I have only started to work in the past two years. I think I have accumulated a lot of experience. He is very handsome, the kind of handsome guy with a fair face, and he is also very thin, with a standard celebrity appearance.

As for popularity, Tian Xuetao should be about the same as Zhang Ye. In terms of overall popularity assessment, he is slightly worse than Zhang Ye. After all, Zhang Ye has many paths, including hosting, advertising and teaching, but he is not as good as the film and television industry. Tian Xuetao is obviously much more popular than Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye is not even a newcomer in the film industry, while Tian Xuetao has been around for many years and has a certain box office appeal. Although his acting skills are not good, his fan cohesion is very high, otherwise he would not be able to He will be the second male lead in such a big production.

Tian Xuetao was curious, "Are you coming to audition too?"

"Yes." Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I'm going to try to cross the border. It just so happens that I don't have work and have time at home these days."

Next to him, a staff member came over and handed Zhang Ye a script, "Teacher Zhang, take a look at it first."

"Okay." Zhang Ye took it and read it.

Over there, Zhang Yuanqi has left. Dalong stood there and glanced at Zhang Ye, but did not come over. He continued to turn his head to watch the star's audition in the center of the field. As the leading male lead, although Dalong is not as good as Zhang Yuanqi, nor can he be called the king, he is also a genuine first-line star. He has been popular in the film and television industry for many years. He is a veteran artist, and Zhang Yuanqi He is from a brokerage company. Da Long is about the same age as Zhang Yuanqi, but because he debuted much later than Lao Zhang, Da Long is also Lao Zhang’s junior in the company. Regardless of fame or seniority, Da Long is When Long met Zhang Yuanqi, he had to politely call him Sister Zhang.

The director said: "Xiaoyu, can your expression be more cruel?"

The actor who was auditioning nodded, immediately made an expression, and then repeated the line he just said, "Stop talking nonsense to me. In this day and age, who dares to call himself a master? If your master is not good, you... can't even be..."

The director hummed, "That's it."

The actor regained his expression, "Director Wang?"

Director Wang Chengpeng shook his head, "Xiaoyu, this role is still not suitable for you. It's not ruthless enough, and you won't be able to play the villain's spirit."

The assistant director made a joke, "Xiaoyu is suitable for playing decent characters with good image, no matter how you act, you can get the right performance." In fact, he gave the other party a round.

The actor smiled and said, "It's okay."

Wang Chengpeng said: "Then you go back first. I have another movie this year and I have reserved a role for you. It's a good position. I'll contact you later."

"Okay, thank you, Director Wang, for taking care of me." The actor turned around and said hello to Dalong, and then happily called Zhang Yuanqi "Sister Zhang", but did not leave, but stayed to continue watching.

Wang Chengpeng called the next one, "Xiaoqu."

A man standing in the corner came up and asked, "Is it my turn, Director Wang?"

"It's your turn." Wang Chengpeng said, "Let's try kung fu drama first."

The martial arts instructor of the crew stepped forward and performed a few moves.

Director Wang Chengpeng said: "You imitate it and let's see the effect."

The actor immediately followed the instructions and imitated the martial arts instructor's example of punching, punching, kicking, turning and palming. The movements were not difficult, but he did it awkwardly.

Tried some more plays.

Ten minutes later, the director stopped and said, "Xiao Qu, please take a rest first." He didn't say yes or no. It seemed like he wasn't very satisfied, but he couldn't tell for sure. Wang Chengpeng has a big beard, even a hairy beard, he doesn't smile, and he doesn't talk too much. I don't know if it's because of the crisis of this release or because of his personality. Wang Chengpeng's face has never been very good-looking, and there is something in his eyes. Eager colors.

The director asked, "Is there more?"

The assistant director said: "There is another one, Zhang Ye."

The director looked around, "Is Teacher Zhang here?"

"Here you are, Director Wang." Zhang Ye saw that it was his turn and immediately went up.

Everyone in the work shed glanced at Zhang Ye for a moment.

Previously, Wang Chengpeng called the first audition actor Xiao Yu and the second Xiao Qu. They were all relatively casual titles. He was called the male lead and also called Da Long, which was not so polite. Logically speaking, Zhang Ye and The reputations of the two people who just auditioned are not that different, and they are incomparable to Da Long, a first-line star. The director called him Xiao Zhang, which is irrelevant and should be, but the director called him "Teacher Zhang" instead.

There was a crew member who was not very familiar with Zhang Ye. He was shocked when he heard this, and turned to ask the person next to him, "Who is this person? Is the director so polite?"

The man asked, "Don't you know him?"

"We know each other, the host? Why does the director still call him teacher? Even for a top-tier star like Sister Zhang, Director Wang doesn't need to be called teacher?" The person wondered: "Are you so awesome?"

The man smiled and said: "The situation is different. His identity is quite special."

"Special? Why special?" He was puzzled.

"Because he is a professor at Peking University."

There is a way here.

Because Zhang Ye is different from other stars. Those who make movies and movies, with Wang Chengpeng’s identity and qualifications, it doesn’t matter what they are called. But Zhang Ye is different. He is not only a host, but also a famous writer in China and the world. A famous mathematician, and currently working in the Chinese Department of Peking University, he is also an associate professor in the Mathematics Department of Peking University. Well, he is suspended now, but it is not dismissed. The associate professor is still an associate professor no matter what. The professor title of the first university in the country is genuine. There is nothing wrong with the director and the assistant director calling him Teacher Zhang when they are not familiar with each other. People who know the inside story will not be surprised by this.

Other stars?

Then there is no such treatment.

The assistant director asked: "Have you read the script?"

Zhang Ye hummed, "Look, I just flipped through it briefly."

The assistant director said: "Then let's try out the lines first, take on the role, and see how it feels..."

"Let's try out our acting skills first." Wang Chengpeng interrupted.

The assistant director huffed, nodded and said to Zhang Ye: "Try your acting skills first."

In fact, they are already very familiar with the other actors. They have all worked hard in the film and television industry. Some actors have worked with them, some have not, and most of the crew have watched their movies and performances. They all know who's acting is good, and when new talents come in, they try out their acting skills first. Generally, famous stars first audition for roles and lines.

What they know more about Zhang Ye is his achievements in other fields, the film and television industry? Acting? No one knows what Zhang Ye's career is. Naturally, he must be treated as a newcomer during the audition. He must first see if he can pass the acting. If he can't even pass the threshold, then there is no need to audition for the subsequent scenes. You can't use him. This is why it's not common for celebrities to cross over and it's not easy to succeed across borders. Some things are not determined by popularity. It doesn't just have to be popular or well-known. Every industry has its own characteristics. The threshold of the industry. If you want to succeed in this industry, you must respect the rules of this industry.
