The producer cried: "Mr. Guo, please stop joking with me."

Guo Wenyuan's expression suddenly became serious: "How could I joke with you! Let's put it this way, you give me a chance, no matter what the result is, I will invest another 10 million!"

Producer: "Mr. Guo, this is not a matter of money..."

While the two were arguing, the assistant director had sneaked in and told Director Xie what happened.

Director Xie looked at the two with a bad expression: "What are you doing?"

Guo Wenyuan came over, and Director Xie was naturally very unhappy. For a big director like him, the autonomy of filming is very high. With his status in the industry, he can completely ignore the complaints of small shareholders like Guo Wenyuan.

The producer was caught in the middle and didn't know how to explain. He felt that he was not a man on both sides.

On the contrary, Guo Wenyuan rushed over in one step, shook Director Xie's hand and said, "Director Xie, I have heard a lot about you. I have always liked your movies, especially your "The Long River of Time", which is my favorite movie."

Director Xie, who was originally angry, was stunned for a moment: "You like "The Long River of Time"? "

Even the assistant director looked at Guo Wenyuan in surprise.

Director Xie has made many movies in his life, some of which have extremely high box office and entered the billion-dollar club, and some have won many awards, but few people know that Director Xie's favorite is "The Long River of Time" which he made in his early years.

Director Xie frowned and looked at the producer: "Did you tell anyone?"

The producer didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What can I say? Before today, I didn't know that this was the best film in your mind."

Indeed, Director Xie rarely talked about his movies with others. Only a few partners who have worked with him for many years knew about it. However, Director Xie was confident that they would never tell anyone.

It seems that this Mr. Guo really likes "The Long River of Time".

Director Xie's expression gradually softened. He didn't expect that this investor was actually a confidant.

Seeing this, Guo Wenyuan hurriedly said, "Director Xie, don't get me wrong. I came here purely because I admire you. I will never interfere, don't worry!"

Director Xie smiled and deliberately said, "It's okay. You are an investor. If you have any opinions, feel free to speak frankly."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I just heard that your "Red Actress" was auditioning here, so I was a little curious and came to take a look. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll leave right away."

After Guo Wenyuan finished speaking, he made a gesture to leave.

Director Xie winked at the assistant director, who quickly stepped forward and grabbed Guo Wenyuan: "Mr. Guo, it's not inconvenient for you to come and watch the audition. I'll arrange a seat for you. I'm just afraid that you'll find it boring."

Guo Wenyuan turned back immediately after being pulled by him, and said with a smile: "It's not boring, it's not boring, I just like watching this."

Assistant Director: "..." Can you at least be reserved for a minute?

Guo Wenyuan repeatedly assured: "Don't worry, Director Xie, I'll really just take a look and won't say a word."

His attitude was so sincere that the last bit of hesitation in Director Xie's heart disappeared, so several people returned to the audition room, leaving only the confused producer.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

——Guo

Wenyuan entered the audition room, and just as he said, he sat there obediently without saying a word.

Weng Tian did not recognize Guo Wenyuan, but just saw him come in with Director Xie and others, and chatted and laughed with Director Xie. She thought he was Director Xie's friend, so she did not take it seriously.

Director Xie asked them to restart the interrupted audition.

This section is the rivalry between the heroine Cheng Yanxin and the hero Zhou Hanchen. The two have already developed feelings for each other, but with their identities at the time, they could not be together. In order to protect Zhou Hanchen, Cheng Yanxin could only let him go in a cold voice.

This section does not have many lines, but it is very difficult to test the eyes and facial expressions.

The assistant took her position. Weng Tian closed her eyes for a few minutes. When she opened her eyes again, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She tried hard to control the trembling of her body and said word by word: "Go away and don't come again."

The assistant stepped forward: "Yanxin!"

But Weng Tian suddenly stepped back: "Don't come over." She raised her face, her face full of pain, but tears just rolled around in her eye sockets, "You know it's impossible for us."

The assistant wanted to say something else, but Weng Tian made a gesture of closing the door, and then as if leaning against the wall, she slowly slid down, biting her lips tightly to restrain the sobbing sound. The tear that stayed in the eye socket for a long time finally flowed down from the corner of her eye.

This scene was very explosive, especially the tears that were held back, which almost made everyone present feel heartbroken.

In addition, she was interrupted during the process of brewing, but she was able to perform so steadily when she started again. She deserves to be known as the most powerful female actor of the new generation.

However, Director Xie was not as satisfied as before. He seemed to be thinking about something and did not say anything.

Weng Tian was originally very satisfied with her performance, but when she saw Director Xie's look, she was a little flustered.

After a long while, Director Xie came back to his senses and said calmly: "Try another part, the part where Cheng Yanxin arranges her funeral before her death."

This part was not in the audition script that was previously sent to the actors. The assistant director could only look through the script on the spot to find this part, and then handed the script to Weng Tian.

Director Xie said: "You can go to the next room to prepare. Half an hour, is that enough?"

Weng Tian had already prepared for the director's impromptu questions. Upon hearing this, she immediately nodded: "That's enough."

Director Xie let her enter the room, and then said to the assistant director: "Next."

After three or four auditions in a row, Director Xie was not satisfied. He was a little old and a little overwhelmed, so he asked the assistant director to suspend the audition.

The assistant director filled the thermos with hot water for him and put it on the table. He turned around and saw Guo Wenyuan holding the same thermos in his hand, drinking wolfberry tea in small sips. His expression was no different from the old man who was cooling off in the park.

Assistant director: "..."

Director Xie saw that the assistant director was stunned, so he turned his head and saw Guo Wenyuan. Then he remembered that he had left the investor aside for half an hour.

Although Director Xie hated the fact that the investor was an amateur and gave instructions to the experts, he had been in the film industry for many years after all, and he didn't want to anger the investor, so he still had to do some superficial work.

So he turned around and asked Guo Wenyuan with a smile: "Mr. Guo, are you bored?"

Guo Wenyuan shook his head: "No, I think it's pretty good."

Director Xie: "..."

Director Xie couldn't tell whether Guo Wenyuan was telling the truth or sarcasm, so he could only say: "Mr. Guo, if you have any opinions, you can also say them."

Guo Wenyuan looked at him in surprise: "Can I say something?" Before Director Xie could say that he was just being polite, he happily took over, "Then I'll just say a few words."

Director Xie: "..."

But once the words are out, they can be spilled, and Director Xie couldn't ask him to shut up. Anyway, just treat him as nonsense and let it pass by.

Guo Wenyuan straightened his back and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, looking like he was going to have a big fight.

"Take the scene where the hero and heroine are acting out their scenes together, for example. The crying scenes of these actresses are all quite good, but in this scene, crying is the least important."

As soon as he said this, Director Xie, who had been indifferent at first, became somewhat interested: "Go on."

Guo Wenyuan was not polite either: "I haven't read the script, but I have read the book "Red Actress". For Cheng Yanxin, the most painful thing was not the separation from Zhou Hanchen, but the fact that she knew that this separation was a farewell forever. From the moment she decided to use her identity to help the anti-Japanese war, she was ready to sacrifice herself."

"Her tears were to mourn this love that ended without a result, but her eyes shouldn't be like this. Such a love between a man and a woman can belong to any woman, but not Cheng Yanxin."

After Guo Wenyuan finished speaking, the staff on the scene were stunned. Even the producer who was familiar with him couldn't believe that he said this.

Instead, Director Xie not only smiled, but also slowly clapped his hands.

Guo Wenyuan was not satisfied: "Of course, in addition to the actresses, the performances of the supporting actors were also a bit exaggerated..."

The assistant director in charge of the supporting actors: "..."

Seeing that Guo Wenyuan was about to continue, the assistant director could not help but said: "Mr. Guo, you seem to be very knowledgeable about acting, why don't you go up and try it later?"

Director Xie: "Xiao Chen!"

Unexpectedly, Guo Wenyuan was not angry when he heard him say this, but was surprised: "Really? Then I'm sorry."

Assistant director: "..."

Wait, the script is not written like this! !

He vaguely remembered the scene of inviting Guo Wenyuan to come in and watch the audition before, which was inexplicably familiar, which made him feel like he was being tricked.

Guo Wenyuan did not give him any chance to regret. He went to find the stage manager, got a script, and sat back in his chair to read it carefully.

The assistant director looked at Director Xie aggrievedly. Director Xie pressed his forehead and felt that today's audition process was simply like a magic. But it happened that this was said by one of his own people, so he could only acquiesce. Anyway

, it was just an audition, so it should be... no problem.

The assistant director was deprived of the opportunity to assist, and held his breath and went to the next room to call Weng Tian over.

Weng Tian walked in and found that the assistant actor had been changed, and was stunned for a moment.

The other party seemed to have already entered the state: "Xiao Chen, please help me start."

Assistant director: "..."

Weng Tian was a little confused, but she didn't have time to think too much at the moment. She recalled the lines just now, and then closed her eyes to enter the role.

And at the moment she closed her eyes, Guo Wenyuan standing opposite her seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person.

His originally straight body was slightly hunched, his knees were slightly bent, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and a humble smile was on his face. Even though he was in a suit and tie at the moment, in the eyes of everyone, he was the image of a living old butler.

Director Xie's expression couldn't help but become more serious.

Weng Tian opened her eyes and was almost scared by Guo Wenyuan, but fortunately she adjusted in time.

"Uncle Chang, it's up to you to divide up the things in my jewelry box. If anyone likes the things in this yard, take them away. The rest can be burned."

Hearing her say this, Uncle Chang's back seemed to hunch a little more, and he replied softly, "Hey."

"I spent five hundred dollars to buy this house. You can find a dental clinic to sell it, and use the money to support your retirement."

Uncle Chang's body trembled slightly, and he responded again, "Hey."

But this time the sound was softer than before, as if he was suppressing something.

"I have taken care of the flowers and plants in this yard for many years. Now I can't take care of them anymore. If anyone wants them, give them away. If no one wants them, bury them in front of my grave in the future..."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" Uncle Chang raised his head in a hurry, his eyes were red, his lips were trembling, but like every superstitious old man, he murmured, "Children's words are innocent, children's words are innocent..."

As he spoke, he put his hands together and bowed to the surroundings, with a panic expression, as if he was afraid that the gods and Buddhas in the sky would blame him.

"Uncle Chang!"

Uncle Chang stopped bowing to the Buddha and forced a smile to her that was uglier than crying: "Miss is still a child..."

This audition ended, and both of them returned to normal.

But for the other people present, this was a big stimulation.

Let’s not talk about how Guo Wenyuan’s performance was brilliant, almost bringing them all into the situation. He even noticed that Uncle Chang was a native of Dongjiang and spoke in the local Dongjiang dialect.

The assistant director, who was frustrated at first, had nothing to say, after all, the other person’s performance really beat him. Director

Xie looked at Guo Wenyuan thoughtfully: "The state of your performance really seems like an old friend of mine."

Guo Wenyuan was not in a hurry, and replied happily: "Director Xie’s friend must be an actor with superb acting skills. I will think you are complimenting me."

"Yeah." Director Xie said lightly, "This shameless look is more like him."

Guo Wenyuan: "..."
