RBCT Chapter 9 Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Ye
Chapter 9 Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Ye
In his previous life, he hadn't paid much attention and never expected that a children's story like "Balala the Fairies" could be made into a movie, and even two movies!
However, series like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Boonie Bears" have achieved box office success and critical acclaim that are no less than some films that call themselves masterpieces.
"Splat! Splat! Splat!"
His voice was perhaps a bit too loud, making it seem particularly jarring in the quiet room.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Han Ziming said awkwardly in a low voice.
"Hmm? MaiMai, your performance was already very good. It's just that your emotions were a little exaggerated."
"When making facial expressions, just try to be as natural as possible. There's no need to deliberately express your emotions."
In one word, it's real! Do you understand?
"Okay, I understand."
Hearing the handsome older brother's words of advice, Zhao Jinmai's previously anxious heart finally settled down; she had thought something terrible had happened.
"Okay, let's try again."
Soon, Zhao Jinmai threw herself back into auditioning and performing.
"Brother! You left something behind!"
"You left me behind!"
The audition scenes for this movie weren't many; the most important one was the final crying scene.
And so, Zhao Jinmai's performance came to an end.
"That's what director Fumino said from the side."
"I think this girl is pretty good."
"Indeed, it's alright; the last two sentences get the point."
Han Ziming nodded and said.
After listening, Wen Muye understood.
"Okay, we'll let you know when we have the results."
"Okay, goodbye Director, Mr. Li, and screenwriter."
"goodbye."
Before parting, Zhao Jinmai didn't forget to say something to Han Ziming.
"Screenwriter, thank you for reminding me earlier. You're so kind."
"Um?"
Han Ziming thought to himself, "Thank goodness!"
Thankfully, they didn't give me a "friend zone" card.
A short while later, Zhao Jinmai and her mother left Mozi Film and Television.
Han Ziming smiled and said.
"Actually, this girl is quite nice."
Fumino nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, I think she has the skills, and with her background as a child star, she's now playing the lead role. She might become a top-tier actress in the future."
However, there are plenty of talented and good-looking actors in this industry. As they grow up, in addition to not going astray, they also have to compete for resources.
Li Feng said helplessly, "It's a pity she's already signed with Wang Jinhua's company. Her acting skills are alright, they meet our requirements."
When Han Ziming heard that everyone thought it was okay, he immediately made the decision.
"Then it's decided on her. Mr. Li, please confirm her requirements. After all, she's a minor, so she might have a lot of demands."
With his current small company and tight deadlines, Han Ziming no longer cares about exchanging benefits with the actors.
"Okay, boss."
Li Feng and Wen Muye nodded.
Next, it was Zhou Ye's turn to audition.
When she came in, she saw Han Ziming sitting there and muttered to herself.
"He's so handsome!"
Han Ziming smiled helplessly when he saw her lost in thought.
This guy is still the same as always, a sucker for good looks. He's naive and hasn't been signed to a company, so he doesn't really understand the rules.
Looking at this exquisite young actress born in the 95s from his previous life, Han Ziming felt a pang of emotion. She was his white moonlight in his past life.
However, at that time, she was much more famous than Han Ziming.
In 2019, the movie "Better Days," starring Zhou Ye, was released and immediately went viral on social media.
At that time, Yi Yangqianxi was very popular and had a huge following. His parents were also very good at planning, and Alibaba, the big boss behind him, was promoting him. The marketing was overwhelming, and his acting skills were praised to the skies.
Zhou Ye also benefited greatly from this.
After all, the villainous character Wei Lai, whom she played, was also a very eye-catching and highly discussed figure.
In the movie, Wei Lai is an absolute villainous second female lead. On the surface, she is a well-behaved rich girl, but in reality, she is the school bully.
It must be said that Zhou Ye portrayed this character very well, and his various expressions made the character more vivid.
Even in the scene where she is pushed down the stairs by the female lead, all her emotions, such as fear, resentment, hatred, and innocence, are portrayed perfectly.
Zhou Ye looked at the interviewer, still a little nervous. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Good morning/afternoon, interviewers!"
"My name is Zhou Ye, and I am a student in the Acting Department of Yanjing Film Academy. I am here today to audition for the role of Miao Miaomiao."
Han Ziming smiled and took the opportunity to greet him.
"Hello, I'm Han Ziming, the screenwriter of this film. I heard you were the campus belle of the 16 acting class at Yan Film Academy?"
"Hello, screenwriter Han, those are all lies made up by the students."
After listening, Zhou Ye said modestly.
Even if you've never seen pork, you've at least seen a pig run!
She was quite confident in her appearance.
"Weren't they supposed to be seniors from school? Are you trying to seduce me?"
Zhou Ye muttered to himself.
Han Ziming looked Zhou Ye up and down, noticing that she was a little nervous, so he encouraged her.
"It's not entirely nonsense."
"I think you're quite suitable for this role."
Zhou Ye looked surprised, but said happily.
"Really? That's great! I hope I pass the audition."
"It's Fumino!" Fumino suddenly said.
"Let's try an audition first."
He noticed that Han Ziming was quite interested in this person, so he was happy to play the villain.
Before long, Zhou Ye passed the audition.
After all, this is a modern campus drama. Although Zhou Ye is only a freshman in college, her delicate face makes her look much younger, so she is quite suitable for the role.
Moreover, the role itself wasn't particularly difficult, not to mention that it was deliberately prepared for her by Han Ziming.
It's so that we can get to know each other better in the future.
Twenty minutes later,
Li Feng printed out the good contract.
Zhou Ye also carefully examined the contract for a long time.
She also sent it to her acting professor for review, and only signed her name after confirming that there were no problems.
She said happily, like a joyful little puppy:
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard."
"You're welcome. Just do your best in your performance. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
Han Ziming said with a smile.
"She was born in '98, so by age, you two are her seniors," Li Feng joked.
Wen Muye and Han Ziming retorted simultaneously.
"Aren't you the same?"
Zhou Ye looked at Han Ziming with a surprised expression and asked.
"Senior? Screenwriter Han, you're also from Yanying? I think you're so handsome, you could debut as an actor."
"I'm in the same year as you, just a bit older. I'm a literature major and also the boss of this company," Han Ziming explained with a smile.
This made Zhou Ye even more curious about Han Ziming.
She had heard before that a handsome guy had joined the literature department this year, but she didn't expect that he would start a company, become a boss, and invest in making movies after only half a month of school.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
Before leaving, Zhou Ye opened the WeChat QR code, held up his phone, and took the initiative to speak to Han Ziming.
"Since you're older than me, I'll call you senior brother. Can I add you on WeChat?"
"Sure, feel free to contact me anytime if you encounter any problems during filming."
Han Ziming said as he scanned the QR code.
Zhou Ye was overjoyed to have been recognized as a senior brother, which meant he had gained access to more connections.
Zhou Ye then added Li Feng and Wen Muye on WeChat.
As she was leaving, she and Han Ziming exchanged a glance, her face slightly flushed.
"Okay, senior, I'll head back to school now."
"Okay, be careful."
"knew!"
Zhou Ye sensed something was wrong; she wasn't a child anymore!
After saying goodbye to the three, Zhou Ye left Mozi Film and Television and returned to Yanjing Film Academy.
After some discussion, Han Ziming and others finalized the filming schedule and team management details.
"You guys talk about the rest, I'll be going now."
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Han Ziming left first.
