The film emperor ruled all kinds of dissatisfaction

When Wang Chen was directly interrupted like this, everyone present was a little surprised. The strange actor sitting on the inside looked at him sympathetically, and let out a sigh of relief as if he was a little grateful.

Although Ning Song and Wang Chen are in a competitive relationship, they still have friendship after all.Ning Song said: "Director Gao, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry...you can let Wan Chen finish reading first."

Gao Siyuan glanced at Wang Chen with a calm expression, "I know you're not in a hurry, so you can act first. Wan Chen, do you have any objections?"

Wang Chen pursed his lips, suppressing his ups and downs, "No."

"Well, let's start, Ning Song."

Ning Song's eyes slid over Wang Chen's ugly face, as if he was apologetic, but it didn't take long before Ning Song got into the emotions of the character. He squatted down next to the stool, pretended to take out a cigarette, and started had a show.

Wang Chen was flustered and tried hard to control his expression so as not to collapse on the spot.

However, Wang Chen is also very clear that he still can't hide the tension and apprehension on his face, the worry in Luo Shaoxin's eyes, and Ning Song's transformation from pride to guilt, all reflect himself in their eyes. At this moment, Must be in a mess.

But...opportunities shouldn't just slip away like this.

He didn't care about watching Ning Song's performance, but lowered his head, constantly calming down his emotions.

Wang Chen thought about Qin Yue, and thought about how many times Qin Yue had been rejected and how many times he had bumped into a strong wall in so many years.He was so eager to stand on the same height as Qin Yue with his own strength, how could he easily back down because of Gao Siyuan's temporary denial, and didn't even grasp the last chance to show it?

Wang Chen silently read the last paragraph of the script in his heart, which is the segment he will perform next.

There are not many lines, but more importantly, the expression of emotions.

The character Qiao Li is like a wild beast lost from herd animals, and was forced to integrate into a new similar group while wandering in a foreign country.But he is so out of tune with everything around him, what he cares about is still "home", and he still thinks about "going back".On him, there is a very crucial label, which is loneliness.

"... Wanchen? Wanchen!"

Wang Chen didn't expect that he would be fascinated while sitting. Director Luo Shaoxin yelled twice before he suddenly realized that the other party was calling him.He raised his head in shock, but seeing that everyone was looking at him suspiciously at this moment, Luo Shaoxin's eyes were even more worried.Only Director Gao Siyuan in the seat, with a smile on his lips, asked: "Wan Chen, it's your turn, can you start the performance?"

"Yes, of course."

Wang Chen took the script and stood up in a hurry.

Luo Shaoxin thought that he still needed to read the lines, so he reminded him in a low voice: "Xiao Wan, you have to memorize the lines in this performance, so you can't watch it."

"Of course, of course." Wang Chen put the script down again.

He stood where he was, looking around the room in a daze.

Ning Song next to him frowned worriedly, thinking that it was really his own fault that affected him.

But in the next second, Wang Chen suddenly started to move. He took a few steps towards the window at the back of the house. Instead of squatting in place to perform like the previous two actors did, he squatted in a special position.

Ning Song and another actor looked at him with some doubts, but Gao Siyuan and Luo Shaoxin seemed to be enlightened, and at the same time showed meaningful smiles—Wang Chen squatted outside the window where the sunlight could not reach, which is this room , the only shaded area.

This just formed a very sharp contrast with the bright area where everyone sat, and it showed that Wang Chen at this moment was different from everyone, unable to blend in, and even more isolated.

Few actors will consider the expression of the entire movie screen when performing themselves, let alone think about a problem of light and shadow language when auditioning.

However, Wang Chen thought of it.

He often claims that he works hard as a director, but the fact is that after so many years of accumulation, Wang Chen is no longer a fledgling director who shoots movies indiscriminately. in the path of his thought.

Wang Chen squatted in the shadows, remained silent for two seconds, and then began his performance.

He was squatting there with cigarettes in his fingers.

There is no smoking process, and no other redundant actions.

Because in the movie script, "Joe Li" was already smoking when the scene started.

People's stereotyped thinking may require that there must be a corresponding "lighting" action before "smoking", but the fact is that meaningless actions are often cut off in the movie screen, and the audience can automatically change the smoke according to a frame in the screen. Complementary imagination of other actions in imagination.

When actors read scripts, they often rely on such supplementary imagination to add a lot of causal actions, but the fact is that all the content that is not reflected in the script is something the director does not want to see.What actors have to follow is not "common sense", just the script.

These details, in the eyes of fellow actors, seem to have no special meaning, and no one will even notice the significance of Wang Chen's performance.Even Ning Song, who is as experienced as Ning Song, didn't notice at all that Wang Chen's mediocre performance attracted several directors present, making them suddenly start eye contact, looking expectantly, and even sat up straight and stared at him. Wang Chen.

Wang Chen's performance was very short and can only be evaluated as quite satisfactory.

This episode is not an emotional one at all, and the on-site audition is not the same as the big screen after all.Some emotions hidden in the eyes of the actors cannot be immediately perceived and captured by the director due to the lack of close-ups.Therefore, if we only talk about the content of the performance, there is no difference between the three actors.Ning Song's grasp of the emotions of the lines is indeed more prominent, but at the same time, Wang Chen recites the words and sentences more accurately, which is exactly the same as the script, so it is indistinguishable.

In the audition room, following the end of Wang Chen's performance, there was a brief moment of silence for a few minutes.Several directors were taking notes one after another, without even whispering to each other, as if they had the most suitable candidate in their hearts.

But the three actors here are very clear that there are three groups of people interviewing for this role today, which means that even if the director has selected the best from the three of them, in the next interview, there may be dark horses at any time Run out and take their chance.

Director Gao Siyuan finished taking notes, finally raised his head, and asked the three actors to explain their understanding of the role.

With the support of sufficiently detailed biography of the characters, the answers of the three actors are almost the same.Being able to be selected for the audition of director Gao Siyuan, I think they are not idlers in the circle. Even if they don't know each other, they must have their own abilities to be able to sit here.

After everyone finished speaking, the assistant director stood up and said, "Thank you all actors and teachers for attending, I will send everyone away."

Wang Chen and Ning Song looked at each other almost at the same time, their eyes couldn't tell whether they were relieved or relaxed. The domineering atmosphere of the previous moment disappeared instantly, as if the moment the exam was over, they didn't bother to care about whether they would or not.

"Let's go." Ning Song walked to Wang Chen's side and said softly, "Please go drink."

At the same moment, Director Gao Siyuan also said, "That boy... Wan Chen, right? Please stay for a while."

Wang Chen accidentally pointed his finger at himself, not quite sure.

Gao Siyuan nodded, smiled, and looked kindly, "Yes, it's you."

Ning Song's eyes flashed, he didn't say anything, he just patted Wang Chen's shoulder with his hand, turned around and left.Another actor also walked out immediately.

"Director Gao..." Wang Chen walked back to stand directly in front of the table, looking at everyone blankly.

Gao Siyuan pointed to Ning Song's seat just now, and said, "Come on, sit down first, don't worry, I have a few extra questions to ask you."

Wang Chen glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, but saw that Gao Siyuan was holding his own resume.

"When director Luo Shaoxin recommended you to me before, he said that you are special, you are an actor who knows how to film. Did you take directing courses when you were in college?"

Wang Chen thought about Wan Chen's resume, shook his head, "No."

"Well, then you are very interested in directing yourself? Have you done any research?"

"……nor."

Director Gao Siyuan smiled, "That's talent. No one told you that if you were a director, would you be even better?"

Wang Chen pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "But what I want to be is an actor, and an actor is the career I want to develop."

"Young people nowadays... how good you are as a director. At your age, I'm afraid you can compete with Lu Yizhen, so that you don't let him stand out and steal the jobs of us old guys. Everyone can't stand up in the circle!" Gao Siyuan's words were a bit joking, but emotionally not without melancholy.

Hearing this, Wang Chen immediately understood why Director Gao suddenly changed his route to art films, and stopped making big commercial productions that he was best at in the past.

As an elderly director with a reputation in the world, without one or two international awards, it is difficult for him to get a good book in the future.

Once the production industry has formed a stereotyped thinking of "only commercial dramas" for him, and then looking for his works, it will only be a script for popcorn.

Gao Siyuan is not reconciled.

Several directors next to him complimented Gao Siyuan with a few scene-related words one after another. Gao Siyuan waved his hand, lazy to socialize, but continued to ask: "Let's stop talking, Xiao Wan, let me ask you a few questions."

"You say."

Director Gao resumed serious work, "Why did you still choose to read the script while the other two actors memorized it?"

"...Isn't your requirement just to read the script? I think reading the script is more helpful to show my understanding of the characters."

"Why would you think of squatting there to perform?"

"I found that everyone was sitting in the bright area. If I was playing Qiao Li, I should be in the dark area in the screen at the moment. This would make my role and emotional expression more prominent."

"Then I interrupted you reading the script, why do you think?"

Wang Chen paused, and finally said: "I don't know, but you are the director, and as an actor, I have the obligation to cooperate with your decision."

The first audition in my life ended like this.

When Wang Chen drove home, he still felt dizzy.The scattered pages of the script that I have been studying for the past few days are still on the coffee table.Qin Yue was afraid that the cleaners would disturb the order of the pages and affect Wang Chen's preparations, so Qin Yue cleaned at home for the past few days.

Sitting on the sofa, Wang Chen stared at the pages, and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart... At least for the next few days, he didn't need to bother about the role of Qiao Li, let alone think about this person's life up.

"Are you back?" Qin Yue came down from the stairs with two bags of trash, "How was the audition? Did it go well?"

Wang Chen collapsed on the sofa and shook his head, "I don't know, just wait for the result."

Qin Yue saw that Wang Chen was too lazy to talk, and he was not very excited.They all thought that his performance was not good, so they didn't dare to talk about audition-related topics. For a few days, they took Wang Chen out to eat and drink, and asked privately if there were any other suitable film projects that they could introduce Give Wang Chen his own studio.

But what neither of them expected was that a whole week after the audition ended, Wang Chen was immediately notified by the crew in the early morning.

Luo Shaoxin called in person, his voice full of excitement.

"Xiao Wan, congratulations!"
