One day, Stephen Chow went to Hengdian Film and Television City for casting, unlike other directors who specialize in picking beautiful women, Stephen Chow asked people to post a big-character newspaper that read: "Four ugly old ladies, including food and housing, the salary is 150 / day", local farmer Zhang Mei'e won and said: Ugly, you all give me a step aside!
Stephen Chow's movies are different, in addition to the beautiful and moving star girls, there will also be "Pomegranate Sister" and "Bucktooth Girl" such Harlequins who are difficult to say.
It is precisely this combination of characters that one beauty and one ugly complement each other, making his movies more joyful.
Zhang Mei'e, a farmer in Hengdian Wuguantang, was born for Stephen Chow's movies.
She originally lived by farming, and after Hengdian Film and Television City was put into use, she set up a stall at the gate of the Film and Television City and sold a box lunch.
In 2011, a chance opportunity made Zhang Mei'e usher in a turning point in her life, and Stephen Chow came to Hengdian to cast the movie "Journey to the West".
The recruitment advertisement clearly says: four ugly old ladies, with a salary of 150 yuan / day.
At that time, 150 yuan was the money that Zhang Mei'e could not necessarily earn by selling boxed lunches for three days.
The key is that her conditions are outstanding, and in her own words: "Compared with ugly, the aunts of ten miles and eight villages have to step aside for me!"
At the audition scene, Zhang Mei'e, who was frowning and staring, easily stood out and directly advanced to the final round from the 100 people.
Stephen Chow pointed at Zhang Mei'e and said: The aunt who others owe you three million, come out and start scolding me!
Zhang Mei'e has lived most of her life and has never filmed, and such a request is also the first time she has heard of it.
But she was not afraid of the stage, and took out 50 years of experience in scolding, and this performance can be described as thick and thin, making Stephen Chow laugh.
In this way, Zhang Mei'e successfully passed the interview and directly played with Luo Zhixiang in "Journey to the West".
Zhang Mei'e's ironic "why didn't you say it earlier" is still imitated by netizens.
With this drama, Zhang Mei'e became famous overnight, she simply stopped selling box lunches, switched to filming in the entertainment industry, and now has become a film and television star worth tens of millions, realizing a counterattack in life.
Now Zhang Mei'e has been in the industry for 11 years, but in the mixed entertainment industry, she has never had any scandals, this pure artistic sentiment is sincerely admirable!
