Chapter 58 Auditions
Directors Zhao Weigang and Wu Jingsong came in and said modestly to everyone.

"Sorry, I'm late. We'll start right away. If there are cameras today, please perform to your heart's content. Afterwards, the crew will select the best candidate in a fair and just manner."

"Okay, director."

"Hello, Teacher Wu."

Everyone stood up to say hello, Wu Jingsong smiled at everyone and glanced at Xu Lang.

This kid got up so quickly. Within a month of entering school, he was on par with the veteran actors.

In the decades of history of Jingying, there has never been such a student.

After all, they are all in the same industry, and many of them have cooperated before, but now they are out of breath, and they are already depressed. They came all the way to audition, so try to speak nicely.

Wu Jingsong smiled and said, "I'm just serving as a consultant to Director Zhao. Don't be nervous, everyone. Almost all of you are veteran actors, so your acting skills must be fine. The main thing is whether you are suitable for the role."

"Yes, yes, if it's not suitable, see if there are other opportunities." Zhao Weigang also smiled.

"Understood, director, the most important thing is to make a good movie." Yin Xiaotian smiled, revealing two dimples.

He also went crazy back then, the price was too low and the script was too stupid to accept.

Later, even if it was Zang Lei's brainless anti-Japanese drama, he could enjoy it all night, and now he didn't even have to shoot divine dramas.

He just regretted that he didn't make enough money when he was on fire.

This is also the current state of mind in the show business circle, to make as much money as possible, so as not to let it pass away in the future, and the standard of living cannot keep up.

So the audience should not even think about having a high-quality drama with conscience. It is said that the investment is over [-] million yuan, and the big stars will divide the money and it will be over.

The audition room was a dance studio, and there was a photographer inside who had set up his machine.

There are four interviewers, director Zhao Weigang, consultant Wu Jingsong, investor representative Ma Ke, and an actor assistant director who is responsible for recording questions.

Today I have to audition for eight supporting roles, the most important one is Zhang Jianwei.

Everyone goes in one by one, the assistant director will come up with some simple propositions, and you will perform to the camera by yourself.

This is not the same as enrolling students in special training classes. In the end, it depends on the screen effect.

An excellent actor must have a sense of the camera, your every move and every micro-expression must be vivid and natural.

It also has to be captured clearly by the camera to convey emotional energy to the audience.

"Director Zhao, which role should we start interviewing with today?" Ma Ke asked as he flipped through the folder, which contained the files of all the actors.

"Let's start with Zhang Jianwei, the competition for this role is fierce." Zhao Weigang laughed.

"That's right, there is no more honest and stupid investor than me." Ma Ke said.

She pulled out the actor information in the file bag, flipped through it casually, and said pretendingly:

"This Xu Lang has only filmed a small role, and his qualifications are low. He is still a student in a specialized class. Who put him in."

Wu Jingsong pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Ma Ke, don't pretend, there is nothing you don't know, let's start quickly."

Ma Ke smiled and said, "Old principal, how can you say that about him?"

"There are some good students in the special training class. Xu Lang is your junior. Let's just look at the audition results, okay?"

"Okay, everything is up to Mr. Wu."

Yin Xiaotian was the first to appear. He wanted to transform into a powerful actor through this role and take on important supporting roles in the future, so he was fully prepared.

Now all the popular dramas are idol dramas, the main character is responsible for the appearance and flow, and the supporting role is responsible for the acting skills, otherwise it is impossible to watch.

He spent about 10 minutes and left directly after he came out. No one knew how effective it was.

"Yin Xiaotian's eyes are big, and his image is too sunny. When shooting close-ups, his eyes are a bit empty." Wu Jingsong said.

"Well, indeed, Zhang Jianwei is a low-level migrant worker."

"This role is actually full of energy, followed by a big reversal and strong drama. He is not suitable."

"What do you think of Ma Ke?"

"I listened to the two teachers. Wasn't he introduced by Director Zhao?" Ma Ke quickly replied.

She looked at the information and felt extremely sorry for the senior Yin Xiaotian.

In high school, he was still his idol.

The meaning of the two teachers, frankly speaking, is that Yin Xiaotian is a bit silly and sweet, and cannot play such a role with a strong sense of hierarchy.

She thought of herself again, and it seemed that she was not much better.

Although she is still a top celebrity, many viewers also say that apart from her beautiful figure and ability to cry, she has no other merits.

So, I still have to take advantage of being young and beautiful now, make more money, and get some fucking acting skills.

After another seven or eight years, marrying a rich man, the second half of her life will still be full of glory, but she will not be able to live in poverty.

It's not like more than 40 begging grandpa to sue grandma, and came to interview such a small role.

"I'm not a Cypriot. He hasn't been able to open the pot recently, and he has been begging me all the time, so he can only be a favor." Zhao Weigang explained.

"We are not a charity organization, we still have to be responsible to the audience, let's put him behind first." Wu Jingsong suggested.

"Okay, I'll tell him when the time comes." Zhao Weigang nodded.

Yin Xiaotian was eliminated just like that.

Xu Lang was the fifth to appear on the stage. The clothes he was wearing today were very old, and he had to fit the image of a migrant worker.

He went to the bathroom to get some water first, and stroked his loose hair.

Last night he deliberately stayed up late for training, and went to bed without drying his hair after taking a shower. What he wanted was this kind of effect that could not be smoothed even if he stroked it.

The character Zhang Jianwei works 16 hours a day and is exhausted, but he also hopes to appear optimistic in front of his daughter and give her confidence.

So Xu Lang's operation is very in line with the character image.

He launches the system interface.

"I owe 200 points on credit to exchange for the holographic projection function. Please combine the position of the camera lens, the title given by the assistant director, and the corresponding characters and scenes for the on-site projection."

After doing this, he opened the door and went in, stood in the audition seat, and looked at the four judges.

"Hi director, Mr. Wu. My name is Xu Lang. I am 35 years old. I am currently a student majoring in acting in the Beijing Film Academy. I have only participated in one work "Liang Hongyu". It is expected to be released during the Spring Festival. Please give me more advice."

With a dirty face, Ma Ke leaned back on the chair, looked at Xu Lang coldly, and put pressure on him.

Wu Jingsong knew from the corner of his eye that Ma Ke and Xu Lang were not getting along, and he had just heard about Ma Kai from Director Zhao.

Since becoming the vice-principal of Jingying, he has stopped participating in variety shows, let alone watching them, except for the fun of acting. Time is precious as he gets older.

He felt that Ma Ke was going too far. If he disagreed, he could say it earlier. Now that he is here, why should it affect the performance of the actor.

After all, Xu Lang is a new actor, if his mental quality is not strong enough, he will be easily disturbed.

But the false name of his principal is a decoration after all, Ma Ke is the investor of this drama, strictly speaking, he can be regarded as his boss.

"Don't be nervous, play normally." Wu Jingsong said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Wu."

The assistant director looked at Xu Lang's resume and picked two scenes with a relatively large emotional span.

That's right, he just wanted to make things difficult for Xu Lang.

A newcomer who has just entered the industry wants this role. Unless he is better than others, why not?
