Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 15 15. Do you want to come to the audition? (Please read and collect)

In the messy bedroom, after Chen Li'an heard the click, he got up and rubbed his face, which was a little painful from the fall just now.

After hearing the "click", people outside the room also came over and wanted to know how Chen Li'an's performance was just now.

They didn't see much from yesterday's simulated death. They just thought Chen Li'an was crazy, but they couldn't tell what was so great about him.

But in today's normal scenes, they can tell the difference between good and bad.

"That's great, Li'an, your performance is great." Wang Xiaoshuai was so excited that he couldn't control himself, his fat round face was full of excitement.

Wang Xiaoshuai's excitement made everyone else in the crew realize that Chen Li'an's acting skills were really good, otherwise this fat man who doesn't like to praise others wouldn't be so excited.

Ma Xiaoqing did not see Chen Li'an's performance just now, but from the reactions of Wang Xiaoshuai and Yang Shu, she could guess that Chen Li'an's performance must be shocking.

Chen Li'an didn't pay much attention to the reactions of the people around him. He was already past the age of being excited by compliments.

Chen Li'an now only feels that his stomach still feels a little cramped. People's will and subconscious can really affect physical feelings.

If you use too much psychological force during performance, it will indeed cause physical discomfort.

Just like now, Chen Li'an rubbed his stomach and really felt like he was going to starve to death. Of course, it might also be because he had only eaten two fried dough sticks today.

Fortunately, most of today's scenes were dull and not as energy-consuming as yesterday's simulated death.

Ma Xiaoqing walked up to Chen Li'an, handed over a piece of fruit candy and said, "Are you hungry?"

"You still have this habit." Chen Li'an took the fruit candy and peeled off the wrapping paper, put it in his mouth and felt the faint sweetness with the tip of his tongue.

Chen Li'an, who is never short-tongued when it comes to eating people, said with some surprise: "I thought you would only carry cigarettes with you."

Ma Xiaoqing flipped her hair, rolled her eyes at Chen Li'an and said, "Sometimes when I get tired of smoking, I just eat a candy."

"Good habit." Chen Li'an replied.

"Well, you can try it too." Ma Xiaoqing peeled a piece of candy and put it in her mouth, then asked: "Is there a scene with us two today? I didn't see the shooting schedule."

Chen Li'an bit the candy in his mouth to pieces, and then replied: "There is no such thing, but the next show is just to see your acting skills."

Ma Xiaoqing can't wait to play opposite Chen Li'an now, and wants to see how good this man's acting skills are up close.

Shao Yun, played by Ma Xiaoqing, is Qi Lei's girlfriend. Seeing Qi Lei waste his life so wantonly, I feel distressed and puzzled.

The next scene is Shao Yun asking Qi Lei why he did this and why he couldn't live a good life.

This scene is very simple, with only a few lines and no dialogue.

Ma Xiaoqing originally thought that it would not be difficult and that the performance would not be deep, but when she actually stood opposite Chen Li'an, she realized how scary the deathly silence radiating from the inside out of the man in front of her was.

The originally relaxed attitude in her heart was immediately mobilized by Chen Li'an. The moment her eyes met, she felt like Qi Lei was looking at her helplessly, longing for Shao Yun to save her.

Seeing that the actors were getting into the mood, Wang Xiaoshuai directly shouted to start.

Shao Yun leaned against the wall and stared at Qi Lei sitting cross-legged on the bed. Looking at Qi Lei who looked like wood, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you doing this!"

"Do you think everything you do is meaningful?"

"Death is not as simple as you think. Have you ever thought about others? Have you ever thought about what I should do?"

Qi Lei, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looked at the paintings scattered on the ground with wandering eyes, as if he didn't hear Shao Yun's question and was still immersed in his own world.

Shao Yun fell into deep self-blame, why couldn't he save him.

"Okay, it's over." Wang Xiaoshuai shouted quickly and asked photographer Yang Shu to press pause quickly.

Wang Xiaoshuai felt sorry for the film, but at the same time he felt lucky that the actor could get through it in one go.

Chen Li'an raised his head and looked at Ma Xiaoqing and said, "You still need to practice your lines. The traces of your performance are too obvious. Although the emotions are there, they are very deliberate."

Ma Xiaoqing, who was about to ask Chen Li'an to praise her, immediately stopped talking. She also knew that there was something wrong with her lines. Jiang Wen also mentioned this problem when she acted with Jiang Wen before.

Not natural enough or real enough.

But now there is no time for Ma Xiaoqing to think about performance issues, the next scene has to go on.

The next scene was in the living room, between her sister, brother-in-law and Shao Yun. Qi Lei only had to stay hidden in the bedroom.

Chen Li'an was sitting on the shabby little bed in the bedroom, waiting for the filming of the outside scene to be completed. At this time, Shu Qi came over and handed him a cigarette.

"Your performance is very restrained but very tense. I'm looking forward to you playing other roles. Qi Lei's character is repressed from beginning to end and I can't see your explosion." Shu Qi said with some pity.

Chen Li'an chuckled and said, "Qi Lei is a difficult character to play. It's easy to let go, but it's hard to hold back. I really like this character."

Shu Qi nodded and agreed with Chen Li'an. A character like Qi Lei, who has always been restrained and has to show the character's inner excitement in a restrained performance, is a very difficult character to play.

Qi Lei didn't even have a few lines in the entire movie. He was like a silent clockwork machine, with huge power hidden in his heart, but unable to explode.

In the end, it can only die in silence.

Shu Qi was silent for a while, and then said: "I won't be on the crew anymore. You can only watch your subsequent performances after the finished film is released."

"I don't know how long it will take to complete the film. Do the crew have enough funds for post-production?" Chen Li'an turned around and asked.

Shu Qi puffed out a puff of cigarette and said, "The most difficult thing is not the funds, but the fact that no one will do post-production for Wang Xiaoshuai. You know the prohibition above. Almost all places in the mainland that can do post-production will not let Wang Xiaoshuai do it."

"Going to Xiangjiang? Can't you help?" Chen Li'an asked.

Shu Qi said helplessly: "Money, I have no money to go to Xiangjiang to do post-production work."

Chen Li'an was speechless. This circled back again and entered a dead end.

"Okay, let's talk about this after the filming is over. Don't worry, I will think of a solution later." Shu Qi patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder and comforted.

Chen Li'an felt a little bitter. Could it be that this movie really had to wait until 1997 for post-production? That would be too long.

"By the way, where are you going? Back to Xiangjiang?"

Shu Qi explained: "No, I produced a movie last year, but it has never been released. I went to check it out. Director Cheng also asked me to get a script for him."

Shu Qi threw her cigarette butt on the ground and complained: "It's too difficult to make movies now, and it's even harder to make movies in mainland China."

Chen Li'an was filled with emotion when he heard this. The film environment in China is quite difficult, but it will be better in a few years. There is no money now.

In fact, the most important thing is that several of the films Shu Qi produced in the Mainland were underground films. It was not difficult without money, resources and background.

But it also shows that he really loves movies and is really willing to help those who love movies.

Chen Li'an patted Shu Qi on the shoulder and joked: "Don't be discouraged, it's all about money. As you say in Xiangjiang, just find a few good guys."

Shu Qi laughed loudly, then pointed to her nose and said, "I am the Kaizi you found!"

"Shu Qi! You are affecting the filming!!!" Wang Xiaoshuai's frantic voice came from outside the bedroom.

Chen Li'an and Shu Qi looked at each other, and then laughed silently.

"By the way, do you want to audition for Director Cheng's movie? I have read the original work and there is a character in it that suits you very well." Shu Qi suddenly asked.

The movie Shu Qi was talking about was Hua Yue, and there was quite a commotion during this period.

And the male lead is Zhang Guorong, so you can imagine how many people are paying attention to it, but the female lead is still undecided. It will be exciting when a group of big-name female stars take turns to audition.

Chen Li'an smoked a cigarette and asked: "I heard that the leading actor is Leslie Cheung? Can a young actor like me do it?"

Shu Qi smiled and said, "Why not? You are so good at acting and so handsome. Maybe you can do it if you give it a try."

"Okay, I'll give it a try after the extremely cold filming is over." Chen Li'an wasn't too excited, it was just an opportunity.
