When the two were very close, Yan Mofei looked at Director Yu Chengyun who was sitting in the main seat. The other person had a sense of majesty on his face.
I don’t know if all directors have a common problem, that is, there are always some problems with their hair.
Although Director Yu's hair is not very sparse, his hairline is very high. If this happened in ancient times, he would be a prince-level figure and would not even need to shave his head. He could just tie his hair into a braid.
He is now in his fifties and will probably retire after making only a few more films. His expression is intimidating without anger.
When he looked at Yan Mofei, there was a glimmer in his eyes.
"Are you Yan Mofei?"
"Hello, Director Yu."
"Okay, okay, you're really a handsome guy. Come sit here."
The originally dignified face suddenly broke into a smile after a few words, diluting the majesty a lot and making people feel more approachable.
"I've seen the TV series you starred in. The switching between black and white is very accurate. Your acting is good, but there is still room for improvement."
As he spoke, the assistant beside him took out the script and pushed it to Yan Mofei.
"Take a look at this first. I think this role is very suitable for you."
Yan Mofei took the script and opened it.
This movie is about a police story. Although the role Yan Mofei got in the script is not the male lead, it is a very important role.
He is an undercover agent, and he has to continue to perform the ruffian and ruthlessness of an undercover dark force, while also performing the justice of a police officer. Switching between the two requires extremely high acting skills.
Director Yu has always had very high requirements for acting skills and does not allow any character to make mistakes.
The male lead for this movie is easy to find, as long as he has decent acting skills and a righteous look. However, the undercover role is more difficult to find.
The character's age is not too old, so we can't invite veteran actors to play the role, so we have to invite young actors from the new generation. However, the acting skills of young actors are a serious problem.
Nowadays, there is not even a single Best Actor among the new generation, and every Best Actor selection is dominated by old actors. There is no way around it, it’s just that their acting skills are not up to par and cannot reach the level of Best Actor.
Director Yu was originally very worried about this role and even considered changing its age and inviting a veteran actor to play it.
Until that day when I visited another director and saw him editing a new film, I was attracted by Yan Mofei's acting skills that switched back and forth in the film.
Pointing his finger, he said, "Who is this person? Push him to me!"
The director was naturally very happy. He also admired Yan Mofei's acting skills very much and hoped that such a good actor would not be buried and would be seen by more people.
He also said a lot of good things about Yan Mofei in front of Director Yu.
This also led to the incident where Director Yu's assistant called Yan Mofei.
Although the female lead of this drama is the second most popular, it should not be played by Yu Mi, the film queen. After all, she is the film queen, how can she be overshadowed?
In today's entertainment industry, arguments over rankings are rampant. Any actor with even a little fame will think they should be the lead actor, or the first actor, especially when the other actor's rank is not as high as their idol.
If it is suppressed, it will be protested and boycotted by all fans.
Yu Mi, however, didn't care at all. What she wanted was to hone her acting skills and climb up the ladder, rather than fussing over her ranking, as that would never lead to improvement.
After you have been playing the leading role, can you no longer play a supporting role? If the supporting role has a brilliant character and playing it well can improve your acting skills, actors are very happy to do it.
The only ones who are unhappy are the fans and the capital behind them.
As a film queen, Yu Mi has absolute autonomy, and the capital can only support her but cannot manipulate her.
Therefore, with Yu Mi joining Director Yu's drama, there is no need to worry about her acting skills or popularity, and I believe the box office will be able to go even further.
Yan Mofei read the script very quickly. It can be said that he memorized all the lines in it just by flipping through it.
There's nothing he can do about it, since he has a photographic memory now.
"This role is very good and I think I can give it a challenge."
Director Yu was originally full of confidence in Yan Mofei, but seeing his attitude when reading the script, he seemed a little unhappy.
Reading the script this way, I guess you don't even understand what the character is about. It's just a perfunctory act for the sake of his reputation.
The smile on his face slowly faded, and he returned to his previous state of dignity.
"You really understand?"
Yan Mofei nodded and began to discuss the role with Director Yu.
Not only did he understand the role thoroughly, he even performed the lines on the spot, with his eyes and breathing constantly switching with the lines, exactly like the character in the play.
Now it was the turn of the people around him to be surprised.
What did they just see?
A person who casually flips through the script not only understands the character in the script thoroughly, but can also perform it anytime and anywhere, and his performance is so vivid that he is almost the character himself.
This kind of acting, which was done effortlessly without any scenes, is simply too amazing.
Even the film queen Yu Mi was extremely surprised.
She could indeed switch roles in a split second and perform at any time, but she was definitely not as quick as Yan Mofei, nor did she have the same effortless aura as him.
This is a strong self-confidence and also a strong strength.
She even wanted to put her Best Actress crown directly on Yan Mofei's head, and then look at Yan Mofei with admiring eyes and shout, "Master, please teach me!"
The position of the best actress suddenly became unpopular.
After finishing speaking, the director was deeply shocked. It was as if he had returned to a dozen or twenty years ago.
At that time, all the actors worked hard to hone their acting skills and tried their best to show themselves in order to get a chance to stand out.
Whoever has a deeper understanding of the role and performs better will have a chance to be chosen by the director.
At that time, almost everyone had acting skills and never put down the script in their hands. Even after acting, they would practice desperately, trying to fully immerse themselves in the role.
The ability to memorize lines is also specially practiced. Many of them have reached the level of photographic memory. As long as they read it carefully once, the lines will be firmly remembered in their minds and they will never make mistakes.
But no one can do it as quickly as Yan Mofei, who can flip the script as fast as the wind.
None of this matters anymore. What matters is that Yan Mofei completely meets his requirements and performs better than he ever imagined.
"Good, good!" Director Yu clapped his hands happily, and a gentle smile appeared on his face again, even more so than before.
"This role belongs to you, no one else can replace you."
"Let's sign the contract right now. If you have any other requirements regarding salary, feel free to ask. As long as we can do it, we will do our best to meet them."
He wasn't trying to curry favor with Yan Mofei, but rather saw boundless potential in him. He had even begun to ponder whether to create a male-centered movie specifically for Yan Mofei.
