Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Every director has his own way of observing actors. For example, Brother Chen Kai likes to let actors put on makeup. When the actors put on makeup, he stands behind the actors and observes the actors' faces through the mirror.  When Chen Hong went to Chen Kaige¡¯s crew for an audition for the first time, she closed her eyes in the dressing room and let the makeup artist do her makeup.  When she opened her eyes, she found a man in the mirror, staring at her pretty face in the mirror and studying her carefully.  Chen Hong was startled, but later found out that it was director Chen Kaige. This was his working habit.  The reason why Brother Chen Kai did this is because he felt that the actor did not have any emotions at this time, and it was easier to judge whether there was a match between the actor and the character.  Cheng Peng did not have the habit of observing actors in the mirror. He liked to observe while eating. Of course, this was a habit left by Chen Shaoyu, because he believed that eating was the most relaxing time for people, so Cheng Peng would stare at it during dinner in the evening.  Look at Tong Lixi.  Tong Lixi didn't pay attention at first, lowering his head to eat, but soon a blush crept onto his cheeks: "Why do you keep looking at me like this?" "I'm observing you!" Tong Lixi thought to himself, I know you are observing me.  , but why?  She felt that there must be something wrong, her heart was beating loudly, and a blush quickly spread all over her face: "You, why?" "Yaya, I'm going to make a movie, and I need a heroine. You can be the heroine."  How is the protagonist?" Tong Lixi was stunned, and the blush faded a lot, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I have never acted in a movie. What if I don't act well and screw up your movie?" Cheng Peng these days?  She could see all the hard work and effort he had put into the movie, and she didn't want to hold him back.  After some observation, Cheng Peng had absolute confidence in Tong Lixi: "Why can't it work? You are the apprentice I taught myself, so you have to have confidence in yourself! To be honest, if it is a particularly complex role, I will definitely not find you.  , but this role is not difficult. He has a lively personality and can climb trees and dig out bird's nests. He is simply a replica of you. You can play it well!" Tong Lixi looked into his deep eyes, as if feeling some kind of power, and nodded heavily!  He nodded: "Okay, I'll act!" After dinner, Tong Lixi always went to the restaurant to dance, but this time Cheng Peng stopped her: "Yaya, don't go dancing, I will analyze the role for you.  Don't go dancing, I will do some surprise training for you. " "No, if you don't go dancing, my living expenses will not be enough." Tong Lixi is a little embarrassed. She wants to stay and train, but she needs to eat.  "Don't worry, I will pay you for the film. However, because the investment in the film is limited, the remuneration will not be too high. I can only pay you 40,000. Also, the film's rehearsals and official shooting may take about two months. The dance troupe may you  There is no way to stay. Otherwise, if you believe me, just sign a contract with our company, and the company will pay you every month. In this way, after filming the movie, you can prepare for the exam without worrying about anything else.  "Tong Lixi raised his face and glanced at Cheng Peng, then nodded: "Yes!" "Aren't you afraid that I will sell you if you agree so quickly?" Tong Lixi smiled, with cute little tiger teeth and sweet pear circles.  , the whole face was as bright as a large peach blossom in March: "I believe you!" The next morning, Cheng Peng brought Tong Lixi to the company, preparing to finalize the contract, which would save her worries.  Because Signal Flag did not have a dedicated agent, Cheng Peng handed Tong Lixi over to Zhao Linlin and asked her to serve as her agent concurrently. He had no choice but to leave Tong Lixi to a werewolf like Zhang Meng, and he would not be at ease!  Artists¡¯ contracts are generally divided into two types. One is for artists who are already famous before signing. This kind of contract will usually clearly specify the share ratio. The fame and the share ratio are also directly proportional.  Newcomers are another type. This kind of contract company will pay the artist a basic salary every month, but the commercial performance share will shrink a lot. For example, the basic salary of a newly debuted artist in Hong Kong is 2,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, which is not as good as  Ordinary office workers.  Cheng Peng asked Tong Lixi to sign the first type of contract, so that she would not suffer a loss when sharing the shares in the future. However, considering that her reputation was zero now and there was basically no possibility of commercial acting, he gave her the benefits of the second type of contract.  Basic salary is paid monthly.  The first starring role has been confirmed, but the problem of the other starring role has not yet been resolved. Cheng Peng asked Zhao Linlin: "Is there any news from Teacher Jin?" Teacher Jin is Jin Yaqin, who played the old lady in the original movie. The old man's real and traceless performance  Conquered the Tokyo Film Festival judges and was unanimously crowned Best Actress.  If she can be hired, the movie will be half successful.  It¡¯s just that Jin Yaqin is not a particularly well-known actor. Cheng Peng doesn¡¯t have much information about her in his mind. He only knows that she is a retired actress from Beijing People¡¯s Art Theatre, so the job of finding someone is left to Zhao Linlin. ?The old lady has been retired for many years and has no reputation. Zhao Linlin spent a lot of effort to find her: "I have contacted Teacher Jin Yaqin and made an appointment to discuss the script at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Cheng Peng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay.  I will go talk to the old lady in person at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. She is too important to make any mistakes. " This is it!  Cheng Peng took a deep breath, feeling a little uneasy. After all, the old lady was an old artist in human art, she was old, and he was a penniless newcomer, so she would probably refuse.  He adjusted his clothes to make himself look more trustworthy, and then he rang the doorbell.  Not long after, the door opened, and a young woman in her twenties appeared in front of her, dressed like a nanny.  Cheng Peng asked with a smile: "Excuse me, is Teacher Jin Yaqin here? I'm from Signal Flag Company. I called Teacher Jin the day before yesterday and said I would come to visit today!" "Oh, you are from that Signal Flag Company, I  I know, Grandma Jin is waiting for you in the room, come in!" "Thank you!" Cheng Peng bowed slightly and followed the nanny into the room.  "Grandma Jin, the person who called yesterday is here!" The old lady was watching TV in the living room and stood up when she heard the guests were coming.  The wrinkles on the old lady's face are criss-crossed, and her hair is gray, but her eyes are bright and bright. Looking at her lightly, it gives people an illusion that can penetrate people's hearts.  Cheng Peng walked up and said hello politely: "Teacher Jin, my name is Cheng Peng. I am a director. I came here today to talk about the script. There is a role that I particularly suit you." The old lady smiled and said: "  Come on, sit down and talk!" Then he said to the nanny, "Xiao Tao, give the guests tea!" After Cheng Peng sat down, he said, "Teacher Jin, you are in good spirits. Are you sixty?"  The wife laughed loudly: "You kid, you are really good at talking. I am eighty years old!" Cheng Peng said sincerely: "I can't believe it. If you say sixty, everyone will definitely believe it!" The old lady looked at Cheng Peng,  His eyes were kind, like an elder looking at a child at home: "You are so interesting, kid. Seriously, why did you think of asking me to act in a movie? I have never made a movie." Cheng Peng did something special to persuade the old lady.  For homework, I watched the TV series played by the old lady and responded: "I have watched the TV series you acted in. You played Grandma Liu very well in "Sister Ma". Although it is a comedy, the details are handled very well and the characters are very special.  "It's true, it's exactly the performance I want, so I wanted to find you to play it." The old lady was very happy to hear that Cheng Peng liked her performance: "After filming "The Idle Man, Sister Ma", everyone changed my last name.  When I saw her, I shouted, "Hello, Grandma Liu!" This is an easy-going and happy old lady. In terms of personality, she is very different from the old lady in the movie. If you haven't watched "The Two of Us" Cheng Peng  I'm afraid I don't dare to ask her to act. He smiled and said: "This is the charm of the character and the charm of the performance. For an actor, meeting a good character and presenting it vividly is the happiest thing!" "Good roles can be found.  No need to ask, okay, tell me about your movie, what kind of story is it telling, what kind of thoughts do you want to express? " Cheng Peng knew that for an old artist of her age, acting is no longer a priority.  It is a means of making a living, and it is purely a hobby, so I attach great importance to my works and hope that my works can be meaningful.  He briefly introduced the story of "The Two of Us" and then said: "Actually, I didn't particularly consider the meaning behind the story. It's just that there is such a story and such an emotion. It is very sincere and touching. It is a part of my life.  , I want to share it with you. In terms of meaning, I hope everyone can understand this truth. The world may be cold, but we can make the world warm with our hearts! " "How old are you?  " "23 years old." "You are so young. It's not easy to have such an understanding at such a young age." "It's not a profound understanding. This story comes from an experience I had when I first arrived in Beijing five years ago.  I was renting in the house of an lonely old lady. I have experienced the ups and downs in the film. I believe that everyone can understand the emotions shown in the film, because there are such old ladies and young girls around us.  Where is the script, show me!" "Teacher Jin, this is the script." Cheng Peng took a sip of tea and took out the script from his bag and handed it to the old lady.  The old lady took the script, put on her reading glasses, and started reading slowly. Her expression was very serious, very serious, and meticulous. She considered each paragraph repeatedly, just like a teacher marking the test.  Looking at the old man¡¯s serious expressionCheng Peng's mood became more and more nervous, just like when he went to the audition and was waiting for the interviewer's final judgment. On one side was heaven and on the other was hell. Which one it would be was really unpredictable.  Time passed by minute by second, and the story slowly came to an end. When the scene of parting came, the old man's eyes slowly turned red, and then a line of tears flowed out.  The stone hanging in Cheng Peng's heart finally fell to the ground. The old man was moved by the story. Old artists like her are not so easy to be moved. Now there is a chance!  After reading the script, the old lady closed it and looked a little excited: "I have acted in plays all my life, including many famous works, but I have never cried for any play. But this book, I was really moved. This story  It's really good. It can make people understand what the most precious thing in life is. It's not a house, a car, or a millionaire. It's true love. Money has a price, but love is priceless. True love is rare in life. I will act in this movie, and I must do it.  Act! "  After walking out of the old lady's house and walking through the garden of the community, Cheng Peng saw butterflies flying among the flowers. He believed that the day when he would break out of his cocoon and fly in the wind was getting closer.
