Hengdian New Food Power Hotel, inside a large private room.
Wu Jun met the legendary director Xu himself for the first time.
The iconic shiny bald head is very recognisable.
Although there is no hair on the bald head, it is also a kind of “hairstyle”.
Among the male stars in the entertainment circle who can master the “bald” look, the one who impresses Wu Jun the most is Zhang Weijian, and the one who impresses him the second most is director Xu Zheng.
Before Wu Jun came here, he had already communicated with Xu Zheng on the phone for several times, although today is the first time to meet, but it feels like a friend who has known for a long time.
Ma Siyu was a hardcore fan of director Xu, and it was hard to hide the excitement in her heart when she saw director Xu himself.
“Director Xu, I’ve seen all of your films and TV series, whether they’re starring or guest starring or supporting roles.”Ma Siyu said, “My two best girlfriends and I are all hardcore fans of yours, and the just-released Awkward Dad was so well shot and insightful.”
Xu Zheng looked slightly embarrassed as he smiled and said, “Ummm …… thank you for your support, Awkward Dad can have today’s box office without your support.”
Ma Siyu honestly said, “Actually, it’s a bit of a shame to say it la, although we went into the cinema to watch it, we didn’t spend any money on watching the film, nor did we buy any tickets.”
“Puhahaha ……” Xu Zheng almost spat out a mouthful of water, instantly amused by Ma Siyu’s incomparably straightforward answer.
Ma Siyu hurriedly added with a sentence saying, “Director Xu, don’t worry, before I came here, I gave my three sisters and three brothers-in-law, as well as several nephews and nieces-in-law group purchased twenty-four tickets, to make up for the tickets that are owed to you.”
Wu Jun listened to a burst of speechlessness on the side, what Ma Si Yu said is the big truth, no moisture at all.
Old Ma’s family group of people, from the oldest great-aunt Ma Chunmei, down to Chen Meng who had just started kindergarten, all received the cinema tickets presented by Ma Siyu.
Of course, the cinemas for viewing were all Liu Haohan’s Haohan Cinema.
In Ma Siyu’s words, this group purchase of cinema tickets was of great significance.
Firstly, it can contact the old Ma’s family bunch of feelings, the family often get together, eat a meal, watch a film, no harm.
Secondly, it can help the cinema of the object of the colour of the moon to charge a little performance.
Thirdly, it can help his idol Xu director to contribute a little box office.
This was a one-two punch and very meaningful activity, and Ma Siyu spent this money painfully.
Xu Zheng smiled and asked Ma Siyu, “Miss Ma, do you really think the film Lost Dad is good?”
Ma Siyu nodded and said, “Well, the front part is very warm with witty humour, the laughs also have a lot of innovation, and the final ending part even made me and my two girlfriends cry.”
Wu Jun smiled and interjected, “I can testify to this, I happened to be present at the time.”
Ma Siyu was talking about the time not long ago when she and Hou Ting and Moonlight watched the film together, Wu Jun was indeed present at that time, this is not a compliment.
Xu Zheng smiled cheerfully and said, “Thank you sisters for your support, when Miss Ma sees them next time, help me say thank you to them.”
“Director Xu is too polite, this insignificant support from us is really nothing.”Ma Siyu smiled and said, “My two sisters even asked me to get Director Xu’s autograph for them before, so don’t be in a hurry to leave after dinner in a while, and sign a few autographs for me.”
Xu Zheng laughed at himself and said, “Oh, there are still people who don’t think I’m old and want my autograph?”
Ma Siyu comforted and said, “Director Xu is modest, in our eyes, you are still the same fresh meat.”
Wu Jun listened to these two people, one sentence by one sentence, like a comic, he couldn’t help but feel a little funny.
Xu Zheng finally asked, “I heard Hao Han say that Miss Ma has made some small budget films before, can you recommend two films for me to look at when auditioning, you don’t have to be too famous, and the shots that show your face don’t need to be much longer, so I’ll first get to know how you are in the face of the camera.”
“That ……” Ma Siyu raised her eyes and looked at Wu Jun, her expression was a bit tangled.
Wu Jun read the meaning in her eyes, she still didn’t want to go along with Wu Jun’s lie that she had experience in performing.
Chen Tao smiled at the side and encouraged, “It’s okay Miss Ma, just anything, just doing a brief understanding.”
Chen Tao had followed Xu Zheng for many years, the two were partners at work and friends in life.
Chen Tao knew artists who had contact information, there were eight or nine hundred artists without a thousand, she was also considered half of the entertainment industry.
Chen Tao was very unfamiliar with Ma Si Yu, the so-called “actor-entertainer”, so she thought that Ma Si Yu should have nothing to show for herself.
Fear of making a fool of herself in front of Director Xu, which is why she did not dare to say her masterpiece.
Every actor has their own masterpieces, even the Hengdian Hengdian drifting group actors can say a few films or TV series in which they have acted.
Even if there was no specialised footage and no lines, it was an honour to be able to participate.
“That, Director Xu, to be honest with you, I’m still a pure acting enthusiast now, and I haven’t had any acting experience.”Ma Si Yu was honest and told the truth of the matter.
“This ……”
Chen Tao turned to look at Xu Zheng, wanting to see what his reaction was, she was quite surprised anyway.
“Alas.”Wu Jun sighed, feeling that this matter might be better if he took the initiative to say it out himself, so as not to be embarrassed when he was recognised later.
“Hahaha …… this world, there aren’t many people as straight as Miss Ma.”
Xu Zheng laughed a few times and gave a thumbs up towards Ma Siyu, “A person like Miss Ma who has zero acting experience and still has the courage to come to me for an audition, no matter what, the courage is commendable, and her achievements in the future will definitely be more than that.”
“Thank you, Director Xu for the compliment, I won’t complain to you if you think I’m not qualified enough to audition for a film.”Ma Siyu said, “After all, this time, getting an opportunity that is not easy to get has a large element of deception, you have the right to change your mind.”
“No, no, no, Miss Ma, Mr Wu you guys don’t misunderstand.”Xu Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said, “Miss Ma’s kind of temperament is very much in tune with me, come what may, we have to try it out before we can make a judgement.”
Xu Zheng said, “When we pick an actor for a role in a script, we don’t only look at how famous the actor is, how many fans she has, how much influence she has, and even her own acting ability is not the most important thing.”
It was the first time that Wu Jun had heard this kind of statement, and it was still coming from the mouth of a big director, so the credibility should still be very high.
Wu Jun cooperatively asked, “Director Xu, then what would you say is the most important thing in casting an actor?”
The index finger of Xu Zheng’s right hand tapped the desktop a few times, raised his eyes and glanced at Ma Si Yu and said, “The most important thing is to look at the degree of match between the actor and the character in the drama, that is, what the common people say, to bring a character to life, and the actor’s match to the character matches up well to achieve a lot of classics.”
“Although the auditions haven’t started yet, I don’t know exactly what kind of performance Miss Ma will give.”
Xu Zheng said with a serious face, “But I personally feel that among so many actresses who auditioned for the role, Miss Ma has the highest match with the female lead in the drama, whether it’s her body or face value, or her personality.”
