China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

The tenant girl who was the heroine of the original version of The Two of Us was a pure vegetarian. She was found from Central America University because the director wanted to find someone who looked like her when she was young. He went to all the universities in Beijing to find one.

This movie took three years to shoot, probably because the director wanted to improve his status as a newcomer. Even so, it makes people feel that the girl's performance is inferior to that of the old lady.

But she, Wu Yuchen, doesn't have such a hobby, and she doesn't have three years to spend on it, so it's naturally impossible for her to choose an amateur.

Moreover, this movie really relies on the performances of the two leading ladies, one old and one young. He wants to rely on The Two of Us to win awards. The performance of the two leading actors is crucial and cannot be careless at all.

Wu Yuchen even gave up on Jiang Qinqin, so naturally he had a better candidate in mind.

She is petite but full of energy, she loves to play around, she is cute despite her stubbornness, and she is also smart and has good acting skills.

When Wu Yuchen was writing the script, a figure already appeared in his mind, and it was the one he had just seen some time ago.

As soon as the call was connected, Wu Yuchen asked proactively:

Is it Brother Peng?

I'm Dou Peng, who are you?

I'm Wu Yuchen, the one who asked you to score music last month, remember?

Hey, it's you! I can't forget it! You made that movie, and I guess I won't forget it in 20 years. If you contact me so late, will you have to work on the soundtrack again?

There is something, but it's not the soundtrack. The last time I went to your place, your girlfriend was also an actress. I want to make a movie, a feature film, and I think the heroine is suitable for her. Can you help me ask her if she can act?

Before Dou Peng could speak, Zhou Xun's voice came over the phone: I'll act!

…

In the room, Zhou Xun was reading the script with his head down, while Wu Yuchen was seriously looking at Brother Xun, who was in his early twenties in front of him.

Zhou Xun did not come from a major in acting, but he is really the kind of person that the great master always likes to enjoy. His aura and understanding are all top-notch, and the camera effects are also excellent.

Many people may only know Zhou Xun from Suzhou River, but she has actually been spotted by many directors before that, such as Chen Kaige, the current leader of Chinese films.

After Farewell My Concubine, Kaizi started a new drama Feng Yue, which started production in 1994 and was not released until 1996.

The heroine he initially selected was Zhou Xun. Unfortunately, after joining the group for a few months, Kaizi felt that Zhou Xun was not tall enough, so even though he put her in 7cm high heels, it was still not fun, so he replaced her as the heroine with A little dancer who plays a minor role. Then he found the great beauty Chen Hong to audition again. Although Chen Hong did not meet his requirements, she soothed his depression due to the unsatisfactory shooting. The two hooked up from then on, and in the end the heroine turned to Gong Li.

If you think about it, you will know that Zhou Xun's mood was definitely like a roller coaster, and he must have had some regrets and reluctance.

She acted in another drama last year, Daughter's Red. Although she was the heroine, she was only in her teenage years and her role was not that many.

But the script The Two of Us in hand now is different. The tenant girl Xiao Ma can be said to be the absolute heroine, and the story is told from her perspective from beginning to end.

As for the Wu Yuchen in front of me, although he is a new director, it can be seen from his last short film Che 44 that he is talented.

Director, I'll act! Zhou Xun raised his head and said with a smile.

Wu Yuchen stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Xun's hand, and then said:

Let me tell you in advance, I made this movie just to win the prize.

I'll give you a salary of 10,000 yuan. It's not a lot but it should be decent. However, there are a few conditions. The filming of this drama is expected to last at least half a year, and it will be intermittently. You have to be on call when filming is going on, and you have to be in good condition. Is that acceptable?

Zhou Xun understands the importance of opportunities, and she now has a strong desire for the heroine, not to mention that Wu Yuchen has clearly stated that he is competing for the prize.

Director, if you need me, I won't go back for the Chinese New Year this year!

Only then did Wu Yuchen smile, and then let go of the hand he was holding with Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun not only has a very suitable image and acting skills, but also has several years of experience as a drifter in Beijing, which makes him a perfect fit for this role.

Brother Xun is in hand, I have the world!

Then Wu Yuchen stood up and said, I am going to invite the actor who plays the old lady. Do you want to come with me?

Okay! Director Wu, who do you want to invite to play this old lady?

Wu Yuchen asked with a smile: Have you watched I Love My Family?

I Love My Family was mainland China's first family sitcom released the year before last. It starred Song Dandan. It was quite popular in Beijing, and Zhou Xun had naturally seen it.

I've seen it. Is there anything suitable in it?

Aunt Yu, director of the neighborhood committee!

Ah?! Zhou Xun was stunned when he heard this.

…

Jin Yaqin, who is 70 years old this year, is retired from the Beijing People's Art Theater and has rich experience in drama performances.

She was the actress who played the old lady in the original version of The Two of Us. Her performance was very good and she won the Best Actress Award at the Tokyo Film Festival and the Golden Rooster in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Wu Yuchen did not consider changing at all, not to mention that she was not well-known and her salary was not high, so she was naturally the best candidate.

This old lady has that mean look. As long as she doesn't smile and keeps a straight face, people will think she is a weird and mean old lady.

But she has a very cheerful personality, likes to be lively, and is very popular. Therefore, after reading the script The Two of Us, the old lady Jin Yaqin hesitated and said:

Director Xiao Wu, the character of this old lady is completely opposite to mine. Am I suitable?

Wu Yuchen said with a smile: Teacher Jin, I have seen your role as Aunt Zhao in the TV series Dream of Red Mansions and the brothel madam in the movie Du Shiniang. They are both very vivid. I believe that the role of the old lady is very important to her. You’re not the problem either!”

Jin Yaqin was very pleased to hear that Wu Yuchen could count down the few of her previous screen appearances.

She had been acting all her life, whether it was plays, TV series or movies, almost all of which were supporting roles. Unexpectedly, after almost 10 years of retirement, a leading role in a movie would come after her. This made the old lady happy and excited. After all, who hasn’t dreamed of being the protagonist?

Then I'll try it!

Thank you, Teacher Jin! I have another presumptuous request. This is Zhou Xun, who plays the tenant Xiaoma. I want her to live in your home for a while and develop a relationship with you. Do you think this is appropriate?

The movie tells a heart-warming story about an old lady and a girl who first hated each other and then relied on each other and developed feelings for each other. Naturally, Wu Yuchen wanted the two protagonists to establish this feeling as soon as possible.

Jin Yaqin looked towards Zhou Xun, who immediately smiled politely and sweetly, and said hello to Grandma Jin.

Haha, no problem! I like liveliness. Now my wife and I are the only ones at home, and I still feel lonely!

Jin Yaqin said enthusiastically, holding Zhou Xun's hand and sitting down.

Wu Yuchen also changed his title smoothly after Zhou Xun:

Grandma Jin, you can't be so lively next time. It's best to find a lonely old man you know with a weird personality to observe. It will help you understand the character.

Don't worry, I understand this. Art comes from life!
