335 Auditions (1st Scene)
Under Mo Yijiu's tireless teaching and coercion, Zeng Jin will finally squeeze out tears, of course, just a few restrained tears, and the ability to cry bitterly is still not available. Mo Yijiu reluctantly had to admit that it was already very good to have such a performance in the past, maybe she really had never suffered too much blow since she could remember, or maybe she was tenacious by nature and was not easy to be defeated by all kinds of problems in life, so much so that she had to cry to release the sorrow in her heart.
Mo Yijiu was worried about whether her acting skills could be recognized by the producer at first, but when she came back to her senses and thought about it again, maybe the sad but stubborn girl in the script, she has the same things in her body as she used to be, she is used to being lonely, learning to be strong, and staying kind, these things make her not cry excessively, not easily despair, but when faced with a real desperate situation, she can firmly and decisively choose between her almost hopeless life and the future of her strange sister.
Early in the morning of August 10, Yan Hui personally sent Zeng Jinjin to the hotel where the crew was stationed for an audition. She said: "Chu Yan has been there yesterday, and I heard that she performed very well, and the casting assistant director was full of praise for her, but Director Guan didn't say anything, saying that she would look for another look." It seems that she still likes you more.
"Huh, is it?" Zeng Jinjin actually felt a little unbearable, and unconsciously said modestly: "Maybe it's for the sake of you and Hao Youqing's face." ”
Yan Hui smiled: "No, you have to believe in your own ability and perform well for a while." ”
In fact, I still have a little confidence, after all, with such sufficient preparation time, there is Mo Yijiu to check it, and I have overcome the big problem of crying scenes, so I have nothing to be afraid of. In fact, it is one thing to be able to act better than Chu Yan, and it is another thing to be able to act well. She didn't know what Chu Yan would do with this role, but she felt that her own play had been managed, and she had already performed the appearance of this role in her mind.
Zeng Jinjin followed Yan Hui to the 18th floor of the hotel, and several staff members were waiting in the corridor, and when they saw them, they immediately greeted them. The staff said that the director and they arrived in 10 minutes and arranged for Zeng Zeng and Jin to try on makeup.
So I followed them into the hotel suite, where a stylist waited for a long time. In fact, there is nothing special in dress, after all, it is modern, and the heroine's living environment is a coastal city, and the clothing is nothing more than a trend that traces back a little, but it is not outdated. However, because it was filming in winter, especially when she returned to the village, it was snowing heavily, so she had to wear winter clothes. Sweater, jeans, leather boots, a white down jacket on the outside, and then wrapped in a hemp gray woolen scarf, the official hottest weather, even if the hotel is on the air conditioning, it makes Zeng Jin hot and sweaty.
As for makeup, it is necessary to do some tricks and feet, and add some pale and sick on top of the nude makeup, which is a manifestation for the patient.
After the look, the staff took her to another room to take makeup photos. I turned a few directions back and forth, left and right, and made expressions and movements according to the photographer's requirements.
was filming, Guan Yuling arrived, went straight into this room, and stood at the door to look at the makeup photos of Zeng Jin. Yan Hui walked over and seemed to be very familiar with her: "How is it?" refers to the past and present.
Guan Yuling nodded and whispered in her ear: "The appearance is okay, I don't know if the play will work." ”
"Although it is not an academic, you also know that it is better not to be an academic than an academic. ”
Guan Yuling nodded again, not seeming to deny it.
After taking the makeup photos, Zeng Jinjin said hello to Guan Yuling, and went to the next door to try out together. There are eight people in a room, but there are quite a few, four people centered on director Guan Yuling and producer Guo Xing are sitting on the sofa, and the other two, one is a person sent by the investor, and the other is an assistant director for casting. The other five didn't know what their jobs were, so they just casually looked for a place to stand.
Zeng Jinjin sat on the chair they prepared, met them face to face, and introduced himself very simply: "Hello everyone, I am Zeng Jinjin. ”
They have already seen the materials of the past and present, in fact, they also know about it, after all, the big production "Yue Nu Jian" released last year, as long as it is a filmmaker, they all went to watch it for the purpose of learning and appreciating. Many people who didn't know the past and present before, were still curious about who the heroine was? Why hadn't I seen it? It seems to be a newcomer. looks very suitable for the big screen, and any subtle expression on a natural and beautiful face can make people feel comfortable. The acting is also good, especially in the play, the skills are neat, and the moves can be seen in the face, and it can be seen that there is no stand-in. A newcomer of this quality doesn't know where Director He found it.
Later, I checked it, and I found out that he was originally a dancer, and he was still a dancer in the first echelon of the Chinese dance industry. So someone privately ridiculed: "Now the dance circle is also dancing to the film circle, the appearance and temperament are good, the key acting skills are naturally difficult, and the action does not need a stand-in. ”
Guan Yuling also gave Zeng Jinjin a rough introduction to the identities of the other three people present, and then said: "Today's audition is relatively simple, and there is no need to say much about the others, just act." We've picked three scenes here, shall we go through them one by one?"
Zeng Jinjin nodded, and saw Guan Yuling glancing at the female staff member on the side of the station, and the girl immediately handed Zeng Jinjin a set of inspection reports, which should be props.
"In the first scene, you just learned that you had leukemia, and you came out of the doctor's office, sat in a hospital chair and called the unit to ask for sick leave. The lines and actions are played by themselves, which is in line with the plot of our play. Give you five minutes to prepare, and we'll start when the time comes. As soon as Guan Yuling finished speaking, a staff member knocked on the door and came in, giving them the makeup photos they had just taken.
Dancers take advantage of martial arts movies, but they are weak in literary films like theirs, which are close to life. Several of the people who participated in the audition this time thought that the dancers came to perform their films, which were too elegant, too far away from the masses, and too far away from life. Let's take a look at the guy in front of you......
The casting assistant director frowned and flipped through the makeup photos that Zeng Jinjin had just taken, and still felt that her temperament was too outstanding, and she was not as close to real life as Chu Yan. He whispered in Guan Yuling's ear, saying that it was better for Chu Yan to be like an ordinary person.
"Ordinary people?" Guan Yuling frowned inexplicably, and said to him: "Don't think about Chu Yan's photo, in fact, this is also good, but the style is different, and we don't have to take a picture of Fang Yani like Chu Yan." She felt that there was a problem with the assistant director's vision of selecting people, and the concept had to be corrected, and it was not that the less beautiful the more literary and artistic, what they originally wanted to find was Hao Youqing, who was also a god, that is, he loved to play some roles that did not need to be punished, and the effect was still so convincing. Tsk, I can't find this assistant director next time. She turned her head to the other side and asked Producer Guo, "What do you think? It's okay? I think it's good." ”
Zeng Jin was fully engaged in emotional brewing, and did not notice their conversation.
There is only a simple description of the scene. The environment of the hospital is set so that she can't have too outward performances, but the heart of this character is like a cliff hit by the earth-turning waves, which may fall apart at any time, but she must accept it and bear it.
"Five minutes is up. "Staff reminded.
Zeng Jin got up, bowed, and walked out of the door with the inspection report.
She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, exuded a frustrated mood, did not cross the threshold, and reacted to hearing the doctor's instructions, turned around slowly, and did not respond much, only weakly "um", and continued to walk out. She stood at the door for a moment, glanced at the cover of the examination report, and the next moment, she reacted to hearing the nurse's call, looked up, and her eyes fell on the unwarranted patient standing up on the left-hand side, and followed the patient's figure until she was closest to her, and then took a step to the side, until the patient entered the door just now, and then withdrew her gaze.
She continued to walk forward, looking at the crew as she went, as if they were patients waiting in the hospital.
[What kind of disease are they? Will they be the same disease as her? Heh, how can there be? There are so many unlucky ghosts in the world? But why, why did this matter fall on me, am I not bitter enough?] Zeng Jinjin slowly exerted his hand, almost crumpling the examination report. As anger and chagrin crept up on her face, she suddenly felt dizzy again.
Zeng Jin staggered to the chair just now, grasping the back of the chair and barely sitting down. She recalled how she felt when she danced to low blood sugar, her eyes swept around lifelessly, and she couldn't see anything, so she closed her eyelids, lowered her head and rested for about ten seconds before she opened her eyes again.
She glanced at the "patients" who were looking at her suspiciously, confirmed that she had regained clarity in front of her, and then pretended to be casual and turned over her examination report, page by page, until finally stopped at the page that showed leukemia, staring at it as if she wanted to make a hole in it, so that the disease could be eliminated.
Her mood fluctuated, her breathing fluctuated, she gasped hard, a visual gasp, as if tears were smothering in her chest, but she wasn't going to cry.
As if self-deprecating, she moved the corners of her mouth slightly, making it impossible to tell whether it was hooked up or hung down. I closed the report, and then took out my phone from my pocket, although it was a button machine in that era, but this should not affect the overall situation. She swiped the screen, rummaging back and forth through the contacts book for people she could contact. She dialed the number of "adoptive mother", but it was actually Xue Yuenan's, and she released it so that the person opposite could understand what she was performing. But as soon as the prompt sounded, she immediately hung up the phone, not wanting to go back and ask for help, not to mention that they couldn't help...... After thinking for a while, he still dialed the phone number of the unit, and said as calmly as possible but obviously blank: "Hey, Manager Zhang, our Yani...... Well, I ...... I have to take sick leave for a while, and I'll come over tomorrow to sign the leave form...... It should be a long time, and it's best to arrange someone to hand over the work at hand tomorrow...... I know that everyone is busy, and I'm not sure how long it will take...... Otherwise, I can only resign, and the company will recruit people again......" Zeng Jin paused for a while, pretending to be listening to what the other party said to explain her, she suddenly had a sour nose, and answered the question on the other side of the phone with a slight cry: "Well, it's leukemia...... Okay, I'm ...... in the afternoon Let's go to the second courtyard and have a look. ”
