I just want to be an actor

Chapter 189 First Audition and Casting

Zhou Sen sat at his desk.

After much deliberation, he couldn't find a good location to audition for. Finally, after asking Ye Yiwen, he realized that he could just use his office.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yiwen's office was just over the art center, and its size was much larger than that of Shen Xiyu's.

The size of the desk is more than enough to hide Su Jingwen. Of course, Zhou Sen will not do those weird things, and it can only be some people who think wrong.

There was no disturbance, Shen Qingqiu came as promised.

There was no makeup on her face, and although she still looked haggard under the light this time, the energy in her eyes was slightly different.

In good shape.

Zhou Sen gave his evaluation calmly.

"Hello Director Zhou."

Shen Qingqiu's greeting this time was very polite, just listening to her words, he thought she was very respectful, but in fact, if Zhou Sen didn't know that indifferent tone, he would have suspected that Shen Qingqiu had something against him.

"Hi, come on, sit down first."

Zhou Sen motioned for Shen Qingqiu to sit down first, with a warm smile on his face.

This was his first time interviewing an actor as a director, and he was actually quite looking forward to Shen Qingqiu's audition performance.

"Do you have any ideas for the role of Liu Sihui?"

Zhou Sen flipped through the script in his hand. This was the character script he had passed to Shen Qingqiu before, but the script in his hand was densely packed with his annotations and revisions. Detailed annotations, he rewrote the biography of all the important characters in the script, and also sorted out the character scripts for these characters, and marked them according to his own understanding.

Of course, most of Zhou Sen's understanding came from his own dream world.

"Does it have to be said?"

Shen Qingqiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Sen. It seemed that she thought it would be better to show it directly with acting skills?

"If you are sure, then please start your performance."

Zhou Sen nodded.

Shen Qingqiu didn't do anything else, just sat in his original position and put the handbag he was carrying with him aside. The original sitting posture with his chin slightly raised, made some minor adjustments under the circumstances that it was difficult for anyone to notice. .

She retracted her chin slightly, and adjusted her angle of seeing people from the original slightly looking down to slightly looking up.

More black eyes than white eyes appear in the eyes of others.

Her shoulders also drooped to a certain extent, and her whole state seemed to be indescribably depressed.

This kind of dejection is not the same as Shen Qingqiu's previous state of being alone in the room, but a kind of after facing life, even if he is still powerless, he still maintains the last bit of resilience not to be overwhelmed by life.

Zhou Sen was a little stunned.

He seems to see himself in another gender in the field of acting.

Of course, this is not to say the same, but the speed of entering the state of the character.

No wonder Shen Qingqiu received so many praises before, and was praised as the little queen of the film industry back then.

It's just that the current Zhou Sen is not the little king of the Chinese film industry. "" is not a commercial masterpiece with much investment, but in the eyes of many people, Zhou Sen has taken a crucial step.

After all, Kenneth is also the screenwriter and director who once proved himself at the Oscars.

Now, it can only be said that if Shen Qingqiu had not fallen, the Shen Qingqiu back then would have hoped to reach Zhou Sen's current height, and even surpass him.

Zhou Sen has become a new benchmark. It is a mountain that is difficult for the new generation of film and television actors to cross. It is a height that they can only look up to.

"Can you not dance this dance?"

Shen Qingqiu said nonchalantly, but her eyes were still fixed on the stack of scripts in front of Zhou Sen, as if that stack of black and white A4 papers was a pile of banknotes enough to confuse people's minds.

Zhou Sen understood her scene instantly.

If we really want to say that the mastery of Liu Sihui's script, Shen Qingqiu, who has been away from film and television for a long time, may not be as deep and complete as Zhou Sen's understanding.

"The money is here, if you dance, it's all yours, if you don't dance, that's all."

Zhou Sen used a teasing and arrogant tone, obviously trying to tease Shen Qingqiu, he took out a piece of paper from the stack, and shook it in the air.

That action, that facial expression, is almost like sending a beggar.

The masseter muscles on both sides of Shen Qingqiu's cheeks were tense, and he was speechless for a long time, his eyes wandering back and forth between Zhou Sen's face and the piece of paper, she sucked in her nostrils, closed her eyes, and got up from her seat.She walked straight to the open space beside her, and took off her coat, revealing the thin suspender skirt inside.

She closed her eyes and began to dance. This dance has a strong atmosphere, but her movements seem a little too stiff.

Zhou Sen suddenly came out of the state of the scene.

"Okay."

Zhou Sen tapped lightly on the table, signaling Shen Qingqiu to return to his seat.

Shen Qingqiu calmed down his emotions, picked up the scattered coat and put it on again, and sat back in his seat.The expression on her face returned to the one she had just entered this office, as if this was her truest state.

Zhou Sen didn't care too much, he wrote some of his opinions and evaluations with a black signature pen on the cover of the character script in front of him.

He was generous, and he didn't have any special ideas just because of Shen Qingqiu's different state.

"The overall state is still good, but in terms of emotional expression, it may be due to the lack of performance for too long, the lack of grasp of the emotional rhythm, the explosion that should have exploded, and the convergence point that should have not converged well. .”

Su Jingwen, who was beside Zhou Sen, looked at Zhou Sen beside her as if she had seen a ghost.

My man is not afraid that the aunt in front of him will get angry and stop acting?Look at her smug face.

Unexpectedly, although Shen Qingqiu's expression was the same as before, he nodded patiently, expressing that he would correct himself humbly and follow the advice.

"Also, go back and practice pole dancing. If you don't know how, ask Teacher Mei. She probably won't be any worse at dancing."

"Your dance practice is needed for filming, and this is considered public expense. Teacher Mei came to our crew to teach Peking Opera and dance in name."

Zhou Sen changed Liu Sihui's former occupation from a ballet dancer to a Beijing opera actor, which was more or less selfish. He knew that if Mr. Mei knew about this, he would probably have his heart broken with a single shot. .

After Zhou Sen said this, Shen Qingqiu's expression finally changed.

This can be regarded as the sweetness that Zhou Sen gave her. As long as Shen Qingqiu works hard and cooperates well, then she may really have the day when she can prove herself and have the opportunity to fight for her own happiness.

She just wanted to speak up and say something nice, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Zhou Sen who was still sitting there concentrating on revising the character script.

"Of course, if you try to repeat the problems of "White Cat" in this comeback movie, then you will lose the opportunity forever, all opportunities."

After Zhou Sen sorted out the scripts, he casually arranged them on the table, he finally raised his head and looked at Shen Qingqiu.

"Maybe you won't even have the chance to meet in the future."

"Of course, the choice is in your hands. I'm just giving you a chance."

Zhou Sen smiled slightly at her, feeling relaxed.

Shen Qingqiu's eyes drooped, and he was a little dazed. It seemed that she still had no way to maintain her normal state under the influence of Mei Junyao, and Zhou Sen was already prepared to deal with it.

Now she just waits for her own answer.

Shen Qingqiu hesitated for a moment, the confusion in her eyes slowly dissipated, and she spoke in a firm and decisive tone.

"Let's not look for Jun Yao yet."

She said it again, strengthening her tone, and seemed to be convincing herself.

"I can just go find the teacher myself. During the recent filming period, I haven't seen her."

Shen Qingqiu kept his head lowered. Even if Zhou Sen didn't see her face or her eyes, he felt that she seemed to have tears in her eyes at this time, but she didn't want others to see it.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back and prepare first."

Zhou Sen nodded, and handed Shen Qingqiu the script materials that had been sorted out on the table.

"Go back and look at this to adjust."

"Ah."

After receiving the script materials, Shen Qingqiu left the office without looking back.

Su Jingwen, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly asked Zhou Sen.

"You mean, you have completely grasped her?"

"It doesn't count."

Zhou Sen smiled lightly, then turned to look at Su Jingwen who was by his side.

"It's just that she herself has to understand the importance of choice. A time of suffering will lead to a lifetime. If it were me, I would choose the same way."

"Then what if she can't figure it out?"

Su Jingwen asked her own question, but Zhou Sen just looked at her with a big smile, shook his head, did not tell her the answer, but seemed to have already told her the answer.

Shen Qingqiu's condition is actually pretty good. Zhou Sen also understands what kind of potential and persistence people like himself, who are born for acting, can have. Shen Qingqiu has wasted eight years, and now he can pick it up again to this extent.

Although she has not recovered to the same level as Zhou Sen's actor and actress, those natural skills alone are enough to instantly kill [-]% of the vase actresses on the market today.

What's more, those vases may not be as beautiful as Shen Qingqiu.

Moreover, Zhou Sen also unexpectedly discovered that Shen Qingqiu's haggardness and tenacity over the years actually fit Liu Sihui's role strangely.

If Shen Qingqiu was in a full state and had a rosy complexion to play this role, he would have played the role at first glance, but with his current appearance, it complemented each other.

After solving Shen Qingqiu's biggest problem, other casting auditions became much easier.

A large-scale production like Zhou Sen's, which is invested and developed by the state, is naturally a favorite in the eyes of all actors in China. Many powerful actors who are in urgent need of works to prove themselves and need popularity to boost their careers are rushing to get it. Opportunity to audition.

It was also the first time Zhou Sen encountered such a big scene.

Except for Shen Qingqiu's audition, for the auditions for other roles, he invited Lu Yang to accompany him to check.

There are many capable actors, and this will be picked up quickly.

Zhou Sen played the leading actor Cheng Yong himself, and Shen Qingqiu played the single mother Liu Sihui.

And the first one to be confirmed was Lao Liu, the pastor in the protagonist group. When this character Zhou Sen was sorting out, the first thing that came to his mind was Teacher Jin Shijie, who had worked with both himself and Lu Yang.

Although Mr. Jin Shijie played Wei Zhongxian in "Embroidered Spring Knife", he played this kind of interesting little old man very well.

Teacher Jin Shijie saw that these two juniors had achieved such a reputation. Although he was not particularly lacking in such opportunities, he also wanted to give support to these two juniors whom he had always been optimistic about, so he naturally agreed to Zhou Sen's invitation.

As for Lao Lu, who became an important clue to the whole film, Lu benefited from it. Originally, Zhou Sen wanted to let an actor named Wang, who seemed to have quite a sense of literature and art, try it out. However, his senior brother Qiu Shan came out halfway and said he wanted to try this. Role.

Can Zhou Sen not listen to what Akiyama said?

In fact, Zhou Sen hadn't really thought about letting the film king play this role before.

But considering that the Asian kings have already matched themselves, and there are two at a time, it is not a big deal to think about it.

If Liu Tianwang and Liang Yingdi knew that this kid always pulled them out to flog corpses from time to time, they would have teamed up to stuff Zhou Sen into the toilet and let him taste the sensation of rinsing his mouth with toilet water.

As for his brother-in-law in the play, the police officer Cao Bin, Zhou Sen finally settled on a young actor from his own family, also surnamed Zhou, named Zhou Yiwei.

I don't know why, when Zhou Sen saw this guy's resume, he was very friendly at first glance. He always felt that he was a good match for the Ding Xiu he had played. If he didn't act, this guy would play Ding Xiu. I don't think the quality will be that bad.

The last remaining role, yellow-haired Peng Hao, caused Lu Yang and Zhou Sen a headache for a while.

They have a bit of a difference of opinion.

Lu Yang thinks he should just find a young actor.

But Zhou Sen always felt that he should find someone who doesn't look very young, but who has a kind of unruly wildness.

Lu Yang almost lost his breath and fainted at that time. He asked Zhou Sen to go to Shennongjia to look for him.

Fortunately, although there were many twists and turns, in the end Zhou Sen jumped out of the crowd and faced a man who looked wild, Zhang Yu.

For the other characters, although they didn't have many roles, Zhou Sen didn't put any water in it. Instead, he dragged Lu Yang to a thorough trial for a week, and studied each character in detail.

Until all the roles were finalized, Zhou Sen took a closer look.

He found that even the unnamed supporting role aunt was an old and powerful faction from the drama theater.

Everyone is here for this movie, and the filming is about to start!
