After the rebirth of the idol, he started to lose weight and became the best actor

In the professional casting studio of Hengyang Building, all relevant staff members are present, waiting for the time to officially begin.

In the waiting room, a dozen actors who passed the preliminary review had no desire to talk to each other. Some stared at their phones to review their lines, while others closed their eyes and simulated in their minds.

The invisible aura of competition lingered in the air, making the atmosphere more solemn.

Zhang Fan, who was at the scene, was overwhelmed and pretended to recite the lines but actually switched to the WeChat channel to complain to his friends:

"Fuck, let me tell you, didn't I get the audition spot for Chi Qing? Now I feel like there's no hope."

Zhang Fan is a recent graduate from a professional school. While his classmates were looking for other careers, he still held on to his ideals and did not give up. He plunged into the big dye vat of the film and television industry to look for opportunities.

Before getting the audition opportunity, he read the plot of the original novel and deliberately picked a role with few scenes and a likable personality. Seeing that there were not many competitors, he signed up.

Chi Qing doesn't have many opportunities to appear on screen. In fact, judging by the proportion of his roles, he is barely even the third male lead, but he appears at important points throughout the entire play.

I knew there was a lot of competition for this role, but I didn’t expect it to be this intense.

As the first one to register, he watched the number of applicants quickly soar to thousands, and then after the initial review, thousands of people were eliminated, leaving only a dozen or so.

Fortunately, he was shortlisted. Although the number of people was small, Zhang Fan felt more pressure after arriving at the scene.

Everyone present was as good-looking as him, and he had even seen several of them on TV and in some entertainment news.

He doesn't think of himself as the protagonist in a novel. Others are more handsome than him, more experienced than him, and even work harder than him. What can he use to compare with them?

Cheating?

My friend on the other end of the WeChat message also supported me and asked what was going on.

Zhang Fan complained like a machine gun:

"The guy sitting in front of me is the second male lead in the hit show Legend, who was almost nominated for a best new artist award. Also, next to me is a singer who is about to make a comeback, and he was also on the hot search list. Even though he was scolded, being black and red is still red. And..."

After a lot of chatter, he finally concluded that among the dozen or so people, all of them, except him, were in the same circle and had some fame and fan base.

In response to Zhang Fan’s overwhelming resentment, his friends could only laugh it off and send a few weird emoticons in response.

He doesn't care how his friends respond, it's enough for someone to listen.

It just so happens that this friend is my roommate in the same major. Compared with other classmates who have become anchors and internet celebrities, he is also one of the few who sticks to his acting career.

"Hey, if I still can't be selected, I'll have to settle down and join you as an extra. Otherwise, I won't even be able to afford food. Tell me which place has the best lunch..."

Just as Zhang Fan was typing quickly, the sound of a door opening echoed in the quiet waiting room, attracting everyone's attention. Almost everyone put down what they were doing and looked up.

Zhang Fan glanced at the time reflexively. It was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon.

Damn, this guy is awesome, he came on time.

I looked up subconsciously, and my whole body was stunned and my head started to feel hot.

I still remember this sentence in the book: "Born as a Han official, Yuchi Lang, he first followed the cavalry to fight in Linyang. Who knows that he would not suffer at the frontier? Even if he dies, his chivalrous spirit will still be remembered."

Meaning: He became an officer of the Royal Guards right after leaving home, and then followed the General of the Cavalry to participate in the Battle of Linyang. Who doesn't know the hardships and dangers of going to the frontier to serve in the army? But even if you die in battle, you will leave behind a heroic spirit.

Chi Qing's extraordinary talent is reflected between the lines. No matter how brave he was in fighting and how he defended his country, it is ultimately as vague as thin paper across time and space.

Why do roles need to be performed, and why do gods need statues? It is because images give things shape.

Originally, Zhang Fan thought that anyone could play the role of the young general, but when he saw the actor who came at the perfect time, he felt from the bottom of his heart that it had to be him.

Although Chi Qing has royal blood and holds an important position, his character is not that of an upright person.

He is a man of both good and evil, and his methods are quite cruel. Soldiers and civilians are the only ones he cares about.

But the new audition actor just walked in with a blank expression, wearing modern clothes. That kind of manners and temperament were something he could never learn in class.

And that face, full of spring colors, the fair face had a touch of elegance unique to young people, the whole person was like a tall and upright green bamboo by the stream, his appearance surpassed everyone in the waiting room.

Zhang Fan shook his head in amazement. There were many good-looking people in their school, but he had never seen anyone better looking than this person.

If Lu Rong knew what the only college student present was thinking, he would probably sneer. In his first life, he and Chi Qing were like-minded, and Lu Rong looked somewhat alike without even having to act.

Lu Rong found a random seat and sat down. It was not that he was late on purpose to attract attention. If he really wanted to arrive early, he would need to get up before six o'clock.

This is a bit difficult for Lu Rong, who likes to get enough sleep.

He did not react to the dozens of gazes focused on him, and calmly opened the script and read it carefully.

For some reason, everyone stopped their pre-audition discussions and the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.

It was as if everyone had the answer in their hearts, and the burden on their hearts was lifted a lot.

Then the staff started calling out numbers. Lu Rong looked at number 15 in his hand, blinked, and leaned against the wall to recall some theoretical knowledge he had learned.

During his leave of absence, as he had more free time, Lu Rong's studies were not limited to high school knowledge. In his spare time, he would also read books about acting, such as "Self-cultivation", "Six Lectures", and "Foundations of Actor's Qualities".

There are also some professional textbooks and video teaching materials from universities.

But gradually he discovered that he seemed to be born with this kind of perception and talent.

In his first life, he had mastered the art of intrigue and deception in the court, saying one thing to one person and another thing to another. People who showed their emotions on their faces had long been eliminated from the officialdom, and the grass on their graves would be two meters high.

What do actors need to pay attention to? It's nothing more than emotional expression, body language, lines, character creation and language skills, all of which Lu Rong has.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is how the camera is positioned. Understanding the position and movement of the camera is crucial to the actor's performance.

Knowing where the camera is, actors can better control their movements, expressions and positions, ensuring that their performances can be captured accurately and completely to present the best visual effects.

For example, when shooting close-up shots, actors need to control their facial expressions more delicately; when shooting panoramic shots, they need to pay attention to overall body movements and postures.

At the same time, actors should also be careful to avoid walking out of the shooting range or being blocked by other objects, which will affect the shooting effect.

However, based on his own understanding, Lu Rong can imagine the camera as an informant planted by the opponent and just disguise himself normally in front of the informant.

Sure enough, it becomes much more natural when you think about it this way.

While Lu Rong was thinking silently, the auditioning actors did not stay for long and soon came out of the casting room. They couldn't help but take a look at Lu Rong when they passed by him.

How is it possible that someone hasn’t performed exactly like the characters in the book?

They were able to stand out from thousands of people, which shows that they have certain strength. Before meeting Lu Rong, they were quite confident in themselves.

But after comparing them, I found that she was really around 16 or 17 years old, not the age that they can pretend to be in their twenties.
