This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 9 Meeting Zhang Dabeard
"what do you think?"

After Ding Xiu left, he didn't let anyone in, so Yuan Bing and Huang Jianzhong discussed it.

"Playing Lin Pingzhi is a bit precarious." Huang Jianzhong's brows were a little more sad, "It would be great if he graduated from majors, even if he didn't graduate in his junior year like Li Jie."

Yuan Bing retorted: "We are recruiting actors, not civil servants. Is education so important? Can it be enough if you have the ability?"

"How many educated people came out of TVB? Andy Lau is a hairdresser, Zhou Xingchi works in an electronics factory, Tony Leung is in sales, Goo Jai has been in prison."

"My elder brother Sammo Hung, Cheng Long, and the jugglers in the theater troupe all have no academic qualifications. I think young people should be given opportunities."

Huang Jianzhong smiled wryly: "The mainland is different from Xiangjiang. The major students still have an advantage. It is very troublesome to train vegans."

"Freshman liberates nature, understands domestic and foreign film history, sophomore goes to the stage to learn sketches, junior plays a graduation play, and senior practice, and major students stay in school for one or two years, learning only basic knowledge, in my opinion, it is different from university Some of them are no different from amateurs."

Although he is from Xiangjiang, when it comes to the film school, Yuan Bing is like a treasure.

In one or two years of film school, the things learned are limited, isn't it the basic knowledge, Li Jie and Ding Xiu are just about the same.

Neither of the two can convince the other, Huang Jianzhong stopped arguing: "We can't decide who to choose, let the boss decide."

Yuan Bing nodded: "I believe that Lao Zhang's vision is the same as mine."

The male number two is not a small role, the two really can't make the decision, they can only propose, and Zhang Jizhong made the final decision.

Two days later, an interview list came to Zhang Jizhong with the resumes of the award candidates.

"The role of Lin Pingzhi is very popular." Zhang Jizhong was surprised to see more than [-] candidates.

These are screened out, and I don't know how many there are before they are screened out.

It can be seen how hot this game is.

The two names at the top are Li Jie and Ding Xiu. Li Jie's share is very ordinary. He is a third-year student at Beidian University and has acted in two plays. In Zhang Jizhong's opinion, he is not a good thing.

"Ten years of dance skills, good-looking ancient costumes... Is there a trace of sinister in the kind eyes?" Seeing Huang Jianzhong's evaluation, Zhang Jizhong smiled.

I'm afraid this is why Li Jie's resume appeared in front of him.

There are quite a few people who have acted at the age of twenty-five, but not many have dance skills for ten years, which is very important for martial arts dramas.

It is very difficult for ordinary actors to play, their movements are stiff and unnatural, and many movements need to be performed by substitutes. Those with dancing skills are different, and their postures are much more elegant and flexible.

Open the second resume, it's Ding Xiu's.

The first half is very ordinary, nothing eye-catching, except for being handsome, if you look closely, it looks a bit like a dragon.

Later, professional expertise is too much. Fifteen years of martial arts skills, proficient in boxing, swords, guns and sticks, and horseback riding and archery.

Commenting on that column, Yuan Bing wrote: "He has a strong foundation in martial arts, especially swordsmanship. Although he has no professional training in acting, he is very talented in acting and has a deep understanding of the characters. I highly recommend it."

To be honest, Zhang Jizhong was a little curious about Ding Xiu. He knew Yuan Bing's character, and he generally didn't praise people easily.

This will almost be exaggerated on Ding Xiu's resume.

Li Jie has ten years of dancing skills, Ding Xiu has fifteen years of martial arts skills, and can also ride horses and shoot arrows. There is no comparison between the two.

Li Jie's acting experience is not an advantage. He set the actor's age at [-] to [-] years old, so he didn't expect to have any advanced acting skills.

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Jizhong put Ding Xiu's resume aside.

He is not a person who judges people by academic qualifications. When filming Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Outlaws of the Marsh, many actors had no academic qualifications.

He has only one requirement for casting, which is suitable for the role.

If Ding Xiu is like Yuan Bing said, he doesn't mind giving young people a chance.

……

After the interview, Ding Xiu rented out the house and waited for three days. Three days later, at noon, he received a call from the crew, asking him to go to the interview the next day, but the meeting place was no longer that hotel.

Still with the same suit, Ding Xiu took a taxi to the suburban racecourse.

The first person I saw was Yuan Bing, and the second was Zhang Jizhong, with his iconic bearded beard, wearing an old Peking sleeveless mandarin jacket, cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, this is the only director in the world.

"Hi director, I'm Ding Xiu."

"Hello, hello."

After shaking hands, Zhang Jizhong didn't stop looking at him. He was very satisfied with Ding Xiu's appearance, he was indeed a handsome guy.

"Yuan Dao said that your swordsmanship is very high, can you show it?"

"no problem."

Seeing Ding Xiu turn his head to look for something, Yuan Bing smiled and brought him a sword that he had prepared in advance: "I don't have a broom for you today, so use this."

The sword is a kind of sports equipment that has not been unified by the Wushu Association. It is the kind used by old men and women in the park.

He drew his sword and drew two sword blades. After getting familiar with the handle, Ding Xiu played a set of sword skills casually. Compared with the set in the trial play a few days ago, this set is more ornamental and very handsome.

This was an afterthought to him. Some sword techniques are powerful, but they may not be good-looking. Acting in a group is not killing people, and the director may not know what to do.

Still this kind of bells and whistles is useful.

Stabbing, chopping, teasing, pointing, hanging, collapsing, cutting, twitching, turning sideways at [-] degrees in the air, a set of swordsmanship is played by Ding Xiu lightly, swiftly, chicly and elegantly, anyone can see I have to give a thumbs up and praise it for being beautiful.

After closing the sword, Ding Xiu clasped his fists, Zhang Jizhong stepped forward and said: "It can be seen that the martial arts skills are indeed very high. It is said on your resume that you can also punch and kick. Do you mind showing it?"

"It can be shown, but the director, it is agreed in advance, you call me, I put a few hundred dollars a day and come here before filming. When I come, it is about swordsmanship and boxing. If the audition does not pass, back and forth Taxi fares and lost wages will be reimbursed."

Yuan Bing turned his head aside, really embarrassed to look.

Zhang Jizhong laughed loudly: "Don't worry, if you don't get selected, I will definitely reimburse you."

"I can rest assured that."

With the long sword back in its sheath, Ding Xiu immediately made a set of punches, the punches were fierce, majestic, and full of momentum. He could fool around with his sword skills, but the boxing skills are not easy to make up, so he can only play the real thing.

Just like the first time Yuan Bing saw Ding Xiu playing with a sword, Zhang Jizhong unconsciously put away his smile and became serious.

He has worked with many martial arts actors. Ding Xiu has something that they don't have. He can't say what it is. It is very unique and attractive. After seeing it, it is unforgettable.
