Chapter 123: Audition
If it is said that Qin Feng does not meet the identity characteristics of the male number one, or the crew of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" has found a more suitable actor than Qin Feng.
Then, Qin Feng has nothing to say, but if he was rejected for this role because Qin Feng didn't know how to film, then Qin Feng was really wronged.
After all, his current acting skills have been upgraded to level 4, and when it comes to filming, Qin Feng dares to pat his chest and say that he will never lose to any popular little fresh meat or even some old drama bones in terms of acting skills.
So, Qin Feng saw this opportunity, where was he willing to give up and relax!
He hurriedly used his three-inch tongue, and began to love Huang Weixiao, moving with reason, in fact, he has always had a dream of being an actor, he once taught himself to act, and even acted in a group or something, his acting skills are absolutely superb, please give him a chance.
In the end, Qin Feng chatted with Huang Wei for an hour and a half without stopping!
Later, Huang Wei really couldn't stand Qin Feng's words, and he was also moved by Qin Feng's sincerity. After the artist entered the ranks of the third line, the size was also wrist.
Although this is a male number one, it is just a low-cost online drama, just imagine which third-tier star has been talking to you for so long?
Thinking of this, Huang Wei planned to let Qin Feng come over to try it, Qin Feng made a good impression on him in the finals of "I Am a Singer", and their crew was really anxious to fill the vacancy in this role.
Moreover, in front of a group of first-line powerful singers, Huang Wei has an intuition in his heart that Qin Feng is definitely not an ordinary man, maybe Qin Feng can really act.
With Qin Feng's current popularity, if his acting skills are passable, it will also be great publicity for this drama.
As soon as he thought of this, Huang Wei said on Weibo: "Okay, I'll go talk to the director and give you a chance to audition, as for whether you can grasp this role, it depends on your real talent!"
Qin Feng saw that he had been talking for so long, and finally let Huang Wei go.
The joy in Qin Feng's heart, not to mention, he clenched his fists tightly, jumped up, and refueled himself, just like he had become a movie star.
It's been a nearly two-hour war of words, but it's not easy.
So, after Qin Feng saw Huang Wei's words, he hurriedly replied: "Director Huang, don't worry.
If I really don't know how to act, I'm lying to you, and I don't need you to drive me away, and I'm embarrassed to stay.
Besides, if I really don't know how to act, I can't go over to find that burying him, and I don't dare to talk nonsense in front of you without a little ink in my stomach. ”
"Okay, you'd better hurry up and rush here, this drama is in a bit of a hurry, the crew can't wait for you, and they can't afford to wait, you come to yours, if the director has a suitable candidate in advance, don't blame me for not telling you clearly!" Huang Wei reminded on Weibo again.
"Okay, I understand, I'll book a plane tomorrow and you can give me a map of your itinerary then. I'll rush over tomorrow, do you think it's okay?" Qin Feng knew that this opportunity was very rare, and it wasn't necessarily going to be robbed of it when. Qin Feng was also afraid of long nights and dreams, so he cut the railway.
"Can you come over tomorrow?
Sure enough, after Huang Wei heard the message sent by Qin Feng, his tone was somewhat gentle.
After that, Qin Feng chatted with Huang Wei for another half an hour, and learned that the filming location of their crew was in the film and television city in Hengdian, and Qin Feng also wanted to go to Huang Wei's private contact number.
After making an appointment with Huang Wei, Qin Feng booked a ticket to Hengdian the next day online, packed a few clothes, and made sufficient preparations for tomorrow's trip.
When Qin Feng was busy with all this, he sat in front of the computer again and searched for the relevant information of the TV series "The Promotion of the Crown Princess".
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, the plane took off on time.
The flight from Beijing to Hengdian took two hours, and at 12 o'clock at noon, the plane landed on time.
After getting off the plane, I went out and hailed a taxi to Hengdian Film and Television City.
After about half an hour's drive, Qin Feng came to the hotel where the crew of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" was located.
After Qin Feng paid the taxi driver's fare, he stood on the street in front of the hotel, took out his mobile phone, and called Huang Wei, the assistant director of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", and told him that he had arrived.
Then, Huang Wei was on the phone and asked Qin Feng to wait for a while, and he would drive over from the crew to pick him up now.
Qin Feng didn't wait long before he heard the beeping sound of the car, and at this time, the glass of the car on Qin Feng's side was scratched down, and a head poked out, about in his early forties, with short hair, a Chinese face, a resolute complexion, and a dignified appearance, which is very in line with the popular word "warm male uncle" now.
However, the only fly in the ointment of this person is that his spirit is not very sufficient, and he looks like he has not rested well in the past two days, and his eyes are slightly dark, revealing a look of exhaustion.
"Are you Qin Feng?"
This person raised his head, glanced at Qin Feng, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
Qin Feng took off his sunglasses, covered his hat, walked to the front of the car, and said, "You are Deputy Director Huang Wei, right?"
"Well, get in the car! I'll take you to the set audition. ”
This warm male uncle opened the car door and let Qin Feng sit in, his brows furrowed.
Qin Feng looked at Huang Wei, the assistant director of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", so closely, and found that Huang Wei's eyes were bloodshot.
Huang Wei obviously hasn't rested for a long time, Qin Feng wondered in his heart, didn't he say that the position of the assistant director in the crew was the most comfortable?
Every day is looking for actors, and dealing with many actors. Moreover, he is more comfortable than the chief director, and he doesn't bring the same thing to warm up the bed every night.
Qin Feng glanced at Huang Wei and had some doubts in his heart.
However, it is not convenient for Qin Feng to ask about this kind of thing, the most important thing for him at present is to win this role first, and he can't go all the way in vain, this is the most important thing.
Qin Feng was thinking about Huang Wei in his heart at this time, and the atmosphere in the car was a little dull.
At this time, it was Huang Wei who opened the conversation box first, he glanced at Qin Feng, and felt a sense of intimacy in his heart. So, he kindly advised: "I have already told the director about your situation, and the director asked you to try the play, as for whether you can succeed or not, it depends on your own strength." ”
"Thank you, Director Huang. Qin Feng thanked.
When he came to the filming place of the crew of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", Qin Feng got out of the car and walked in side by side with assistant director Huang Wei.
At this time, the crew was resting collectively.
The group performers and the handymen of the crew have just received a boxed lunch, and they casually found a place to squat, or sit, and eat a boxed lunch there.
Although the start of filming was delayed for a few days due to the male number one, the filming still started, first filming some small scenes without the male number one, and then hurry up to find the male number one.
In fact, the reason why he was in such a hurry to start filming was also because the producer said that he couldn't wait for a day, so Lu Ji had to take pictures of the male number one while shooting.
originally wanted to ask his father for help, after all, Lu Yuan has been in the circle for decades, and if he wants to say a word, the problem of the male number one should be solved immediately.
However, Lu Yuan suggested that among the actors in the crew, choose one to play the original male lead.
Although "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" is a big heroine.
The plot is summarized in one sentence: It is a modern playboy Zhang Peng who traveled back to ancient times by chance, and turned into the crown princess Zhang Pengpeng, although she has a big-breasted and long-legged melon seed face, she is still the lustful playboy in her bones, so she began to "scourge" the harem, bend the prince, and finally be promoted step by step to the queen mother.
After reading through the script, the eyes of the whole play are on the heroine.
In fact, whether it is the prince Qi Sheng or the ninth prince, they are all background boards, and they are all used to set off the heroine, but even if it is a background board, the prince Qi Sheng is also the male number one, and the male number one scene in this play is also very important, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Therefore, Lu Ji also attaches great importance to the role of the male number one, and he can't just find someone to play the male number one.
Just when he was worried about the male number one, assistant director Huang Wei called him last night and informed him that the popular singer Qin Feng intended to participate in this drama.
This made Lu Ji overjoyed, for a small-budget online drama, if a popular star can participate, it will be of great benefit to the exposure and publicity of the TV series.
After all, the cost is low, and I can't afford to invite any big stars, there is a singer with his own traffic sent to the door, Lu Ji is still more interested, but it depends on whether Qin Feng can act, if he can't do it at all, then no matter how big a name is, he won't want it, after all, it is the first play he directed, and he can't joke.
When Qin Feng walked behind Huang Wei and walked towards the director's lounge, suddenly a group performer squatting on the ground and scolding a boxed lunch said "Huh"!
Then, he rubbed his eyes and swallowed a mouthful full of rice, even thinking that he had seen it wrong!
Qin Feng: What is he here for?
In the crew of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", not only this person recognized Qin Feng, but along the way, Qin Feng recognized him with a large number of extras and miscellaneous staff of the crew.
After all, Qin Feng just won the championship of "I Am a Singer", and he is in the limelight.
So, a few extras held a boxed lunch, squatted there, and talked while eating.
"Why did Qin Feng come here, why is he a singer here?"
"Qin Feng and Director Huang came together? Could it be that Qin Feng also participated in this play?"
"In other words, I recognize Qin Feng's musical talent, but acting, will he?"
"Could it be that Qin Feng is here to play the male lead?"
......
These group performers were discussing, and Qin Feng followed Huang Wei and also came to the director's lounge.
In the room, director Lu Ji was discussing the issue of the male lead with producer Ma Shuai.
Ma Shuai was thinking of finding a traffic star to come and save the scene at first, but it was eye-catching, with a price of at least 5 million, and the crew was not so rich.
He felt that Lu Ji's proposal was quite reliable, and he chose one of the existing actors to play the male lead, saving the time for the newly found actors to familiarize themselves with the script, and of course, the most important thing was to save money.
The entire crew is a newcomer, and none of the actors have a salary of more than 150,000.
took the teacup handed by Lu Ji and took a sip: "I think Wang Hao is good, and his image is also very suitable!"
"He's a little too old, isn't he?"
Lu Ji thought about Wang Hao's appearance and shook his head.
"Then who do you think is suitable?" asked Ma Shuai.
"Actually, Liu Zhi is quite suitable..."
.........
Just as the two were discussing the male number one, it was very coincidental that there was a knock on the door.
"Hello director, are you also there, Producer Ma?" After walking into the room, Huang Wei saw that the producer was also there, and greeted.
After Qin Feng walked into the room, he was a little confused, and no one told him that the producer was also in the director's room, thinking that the director was the only one.
For a man who has the reputation of the second generation of stars and failed plastic surgery, Qin Feng is still very sympathetic in his heart, and at the same time, he must hold back a lot of strength in his heart, and he must prove himself.
Therefore, Qin Feng firmly believes that Lu Ji will definitely do his best to shoot "The Promotion of the Crown Princess".
However, Qin Feng didn't expect the producer to be there, it seems that both of them attach great importance to this drama.
It just so happened that he conquered them both at once.
"Huang Wei, why are you here?" Ma Shuai asked suspiciously after seeing Huang Wei.
Ma Shuai didn't know about Huang Wei's recommendation of Qin Feng to Lu Ji, and now Huang Wei was sent out to discuss the contract, so Ma Shuai was surprised that Huang Wei came back.
Later, after Huang Wei gave a brief introduction, Ma Shuai also discovered the existence of Qin Feng, a singer who has been very popular recently.
"Do you know what's going on with the crew right now?" asked Lu Ji.
"Well, when I came in the morning, I heard some introductions from Director Huang. Qin Feng replied.
"Do you think you're the right man?" Lu Ji then asked.
"This is the character analysis I wrote. ”
Qin Feng handed his notebook to Lu Ji, which recorded a bunch of character analysis reports about the male number one Qi Sheng.
After deciding to invite Qin Feng to come over for an audition, Huang Wei also sent the script of the male number one to Qin Feng to read.
“... He's a soldier, he's domineering, he's full of strategy, he's dark..."
"It's all about the characters, let's just pick a scene and try it?" Lu Ji said.
"I'll take a look!" Ma Shuai took the notebook, flipped through it casually, and then nodded.
"You pick a random paragraph and give me three minutes!" Qin Feng replied confidently.
Taking over the script, Qin Feng read it through, closed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, and adjusted his state.
Acting skills are not achieved overnight, unless they are born actors, most of them need to be constantly honed, and acting itself is a process of accumulation.
Not everyone is Jiang Wen, who was at the peak of his debut and won the Hundred Flowers Actor.
However, although Qin Feng has not learned acting, he has a system in hand, and he has just integrated "The Self-cultivation of Actors", and his acting skills have been greatly improved, so challenging this kind of low-difficulty role is completely trivial to Qin Feng.
After a few simple adjustments, the performance began.
In just three minutes, Qin Feng performed the plot on the script given by Lu Ji word for word.
And it's quite vocal, without the slightest sense of drag! The plot, lines, and what to say, and the posture that should be there, are all perfectly and heartily.
After watching Qin Feng's performance, Lu Ji took the lead in applauding and said three good words in succession.
After watching Qin Feng's performance, Ma Shuai was also very surprised, he didn't expect Qin Feng to be so good at acting, it was completely the character himself.
Moreover, Qin Feng got the script in his hand before and after, and by the end of the performance, it was only about five minutes.
However, in these short five minutes, Qin Feng not only achieved a perfect interpretation of the performance picture of the script, but even Qin Feng's lines were not wrong.
This simply stunned several people.
Director Lu Ji, assistant director Huang Wei and producers saw the end from the beginning, the more they watched, the more excited they became, and the more they watched, the more excited they became, until Qin Feng's performance ended, the two looked at each other, and they could see the shock and ecstasy in each other's eyes.
This performance is also too good, this Qin Feng is really a good material for being a natural actor.
Taking a long breath, his heart calmed down, Lu Ji looked at Qin Feng again as if he saw a rare treasure, and said with excitement on his face: "The performance is so good, Qin Feng, I welcome you to join on behalf of the crew of "The Crown Princess"!"
Then, Lu Ji was excited, and said with a face full of surprise: "Are you really learning acting as an amateur? Your acting skills just now are not comparable to you by many professional actors." ”
When Qin Feng heard Lu Ji's question, he didn't slack off, and said: "I read some books about acting at the beginning, and I have also watched many classic movies of masters, and I often learn and imitate them in private. ”
Qin Feng said this well, Qin Feng has indeed watched too many classic Chinese and foreign movies, and he has also bored to imitate the tone and demeanor of these people.
However, he didn't learn and imitate, he can have such a wonderful performance today, Qin Feng actually knows in his heart that this is more because of the system.
And Qin Feng looked at the expression of the director and producer like a cat seeing a fish, and couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart.
Qin Feng suddenly remembered a joke he had seen in the original world, it was said that some directors had weird tempers and liked unspoken actors.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't help but shudder.
Qin Feng suddenly regretted that he was too good, regretted that he was too handsome, and blamed himself for being so handsome.
Qin Feng was thinking about it in his heart, and the more Lu Jigang looked at Qin Feng, the stronger the smile on his face.
Lu Ji's face was heroic, his face was flushed, revealing a sense of relief, joy, and happiness.
It can be seen that Lu Ji is really excited, for the sake of the male number one, his hair has been bald a little bit recently, and this is not only a perfect solution, but this male number one is more perfect than the original male one.
Qin Feng also hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Director Lu for your appreciation, I will definitely play this role with my heart." ”
Then, Lu Ji looked at the time of his watch, looked at Qin Feng and asked, "Qin Feng, did you catch a plane and eat?"
Qin Feng was actually hungry just now, but he was in a hurry to audition just now, so he hadn't gone to eat yet.
At this moment, listening to Lu Ji's question, Qin Feng didn't twist, and said bluntly: "I haven't eaten yet." ”
"I wanted to combine two boxes of lunches, but now it seems that I don't need to.
Let's go, I'll do Dong today, let's go out and eat something. "Lu Ji is also very interested in Qin Feng's unabashedly character, so he should take the lead.
The male number one has been found, and it can be said that everyone is happy.
