The staff informed Chen Minhao that the time for the audition was half past two in the afternoon, and Chen Minhao was worried that the traffic jam on the road would leave a bad impression on the director, so he set off early and arrived at the audition place at 2 o'clock.

Director Hu Defa may be worried that the actors will see other people's performances, which will affect the fairness of the audition, so he deliberately stressed yesterday not to arrive early.

Chen Minhao sat in the car until 2:15 before getting off. Staff member Xiao Jiang told Chen Minhao that the content of today's audition is to wear makeup and play against other actors.

Chen Minhao's audition yesterday was actually more like an audition, just a performance. And today's audition will judge an actor from more dimensions, whether he is suitable for the role: camera sense, appearance, whether he can rub sparks with other actors, etc.

After Chen Minhao finished putting on makeup, the audition of the previous actor ended, and director Hu Defa commented on his performance inside, and Chen Minhao, who was standing at the door, could listen to a rough idea:

"Throughout the performance, you used some acting tips to achieve your goals, and of course some professional skills can really add highlights to your performance, but you don't have to deliberately show off these skills.

Maybe your kung fu is not at home, your acting skills give me the feeling of 'mechanical' and 'impersonal', okay, that's all for your audition today. As for what I said, go back and think about it. ”

"Okay, thank you, Director Hu. ”

As soon as Chen Minhao heard that the conversation inside was about to end, he immediately retreated to a place 3 meters away from the door, and looked at the ceiling in a daze, so as to avoid seeing him standing at the door as soon as the other party came out, thinking that he was eavesdropping.

After Jing Yongchang pushed the door, after he saw Chen Minhao, he was stunned for a moment, nodded at Chen Minhao, and finally glanced at Chen Minhao with condescending sympathy and left directly.

Chen Minhao's inner black question mark face. JPG: Who gave you the confidence to dare to look at me like this? The dog who was scolded by Hu Dao just now has no pressure in his heart as soon as he goes out?

Chen Minhao took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, pushed the door and entered the audition room.

Chen Minhao saw that in addition to the director and investors who were sitting, Huang Feifei and Wang Ruozhou were standing in the middle of the audition room, talking and laughing.

When Wei Ming saw Chen Minhao coming in, he immediately stood up and said, "Let me introduce you to you, this is the actor who auditioned, Chen Minhao." ”

Huang Feifei stroked her long hair and said gently, "We know each other, are we still very familiar?" ”

Although Huang Feifei smiled softly, Chen Minhao felt a chill in his spine.

The movie "Detective" mainly tells the story of Jiang Long and Shao Fei while evading police pursuit, gangster pursuit, and gangster encirclement, and at the same time, they completed the "ungodly" tasks of finding the "lost gold", identifying the "real murderer", and "clearing the charges" for themselves in just seven days.

Chen Minhao thought that if he auditioned to play a rival role, he would play against Jiang Long's actors. Then why is this woman Huang Feifei standing here?

Huang Feifei chuckled, came up and rubbed Chen Minhao's shoulder, and said to the others: "I didn't tell him, I want to play the role of Ah Chun." You see Chen Minhao, he is so happy that he can't speak. ”

Wei Ming said in a tone of "sudden realization": "Oh, you should be acting in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". ”

Chen Minhao knew that Wei Ming was selling favors, raising his value, and reminding others that Chen Minhao had acted in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". He nodded slightly at Wei Ming, who smiled at him.

The man with a smile on his face shook hands with Chen Minhao and said, "Hello, I am Wang Ruozhou, and I play the role of Jiang Long in "Detective". ”

Wang Ruozhou has a mediocre appearance, and can even be said to be middle and lower, but his acting skills are good, especially in recent years, he has acted in several comedies, and the response is good.

Director Hu Defa tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Okay, let's stop the greetings." Chen Minhao, you wait, let's perform this clip. With that, he picked up a piece of paper from the table.

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member next to him handed the A4 paper to Chen Minhao.

Chen Minhao is very familiar with the script of "Detective", and after he watched a beginning, he knew which clip to audition for. But in order to avoid any omissions in his memory, he still patiently watched it again.

Chen Minhao returned the A4 paper to the staff and signaled Director Hu that he could start the audition.

Wang Ruozhou and Huang Feifei's acting skills are good, and they immediately entered the state.

Wang Ruozhou squatted on the ground, as if he was looking at something interesting, and let out a "giggle" laugh from time to time.

Chen Minhao walked over curiously, pushed Wang Ruozhou away, and after screaming, he sat on the ground with his eyes in his hands.

Huang Feifei came over angrily, Wang Ruozhou immediately stood up, pointed at Chen Minhao and said, "You are young and don't learn well, how can you learn this kind of thing?"

Chen Minhao said with a confused face: "I... I. I didn't. ”

Wang Ruozhou immediately interrupted him, and said with hatred: "It's nothing? I haven't seen enough, have you? This time people poured hot water, and next time it will be sulfuric acid!"

Huang Feifei's eyes widened slightly, looked at Chen Minhao and asked, "Who are you?"

Chen Minhao stammered: "I, I, I, I am his watch." ”

Wang Ruozhou interrupted Chen Minhao's words again, "Cousin, he is my cousin." ”

Wang Ruozhou took two steps forward, looked at Huang Feifei with a flattering expression and said, "Do you know who this beautiful, noble and kind person is?" ”

Chen Minhao continued to look confused, and then Wang Ruozhou walked next to Huang Feifei and said, "She is my landlady." The number one beauty in Chinatown, Ah Chun. ”

.......

Hu Defa nodded and said, "Very good, Chen Minhao, your cute expression now is much better than yesterday." Go ahead and try this scene. Director Hu Defa picked up another piece of A4 paper from the table.

After Chen Minhao performed a few scenes, Hu Defa did not comment, and directly asked Chen Minhao to go back.

In the hotel where Hood was staying, the ashtray was already stuffed with cigarette butts.

Wei Ming couldn't remember the first time he watched a few auditions, he rubbed his head and his temples, and said, "The more I see it, the more I think Chen Minhao's performance is better than Jing Yongchang's, what do you think?"

Hu Defa lit another cigarette and said: "I'm not blind, I also think Chen Minhao is better, but the investor wants Jing Yongchang." ”

Wei Ming got up and opened the window to let in fresh air, and said, "Oh, Director Hu, you are the director of "Detective", and you are the person in charge of this movie.

I don't have as much ability as you, I have only filmed TV series, but let's take "The Best Youth" that I worked with Chen Minhao as an example: the actor of Wu Yan wanted by the investor at the beginning was Xiao Jing, but in the end Chen Minhao came.

Let me tell you, Chen Minhao, an actor, is really spiritual. "The Best Youth" has the general credit for its current achievements, all because of Chen Minhao.

If you insist on using Chen Minhao now, maybe the investor will be unhappy for a while, but in the end, the box office is good, and everyone still doesn't praise you for being a good director.

But if Jing Yongchang is allowed to act, the final performance effect is not ideal. Do you think that investors will think that the box office hit is the reason why they decided to settle for Jing Yongchang? Definitely not, they will only think that you, as a director, have a problem with your directing ability.

And taking a step back, this movie hasn't started filming yet, and the investor doesn't consider your opinion in the selection of actors with such an important role as a second male lead. After the filming starts, they may be pointing fingers at something?

What we are most afraid of in the art industry is that laymen lead insiders, and there are still fewer movies that have been ruined by investors?

Hood was moved, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said, "You just say that there is some truth, but what I say may not be useful." Now the problem is that I said it, and the investors didn't listen. ”

Wei Ming saw that his heart was moved, suppressed his ecstatic expression, and said:

"One chopstick was gently broken, and ten chopsticks were firmly held together. The director's opinion is on the one hand, and the actor's opinion is on the other, I just sent WeChat with Wang Ruozhou and Huang Feifei, and both of them said that they and Jing Yongchang did not call, but it was very comfortable to perform with Chen Minhao. ”

Hu Defa still hesitated a little and said, "Isn't this against the investor?"

Wei Ming was a little irritable in his heart, he felt that Hu Defa was too abrasive, frowned, and said: "How can it be said that it is right with the investor? Everyone is for the movie to be better, and the investor can make money only when the movie is good, you say that Huang Feifei doesn't call, forget it, Wang Ruozhou's characters Jiang Long and Shao Fei have so many rival scenes, if the two actors don't call, how can this script be played?"

Hu Defa asked: "But will the two of them choose to go against the investor for the sake of Chen Minhao?"
