After a few brief greetings with Yang Zhiqing, Xiao Yao invited the old man into the audition room.

After entering the audition room, Xiao Yao did not rush to let Yang Zhiqing perform, but first asked him to sit down, chatted with him about the script of the movie, and listened to him talk about his understanding of the role of Principal Sun.

The outline of the script was sent to radio and television for review and filing when Xiao Yao decided to make this movie. When handing over the task of pre-casting to this casting studio, Xiao Yao gave the script. Yang Zhiqing was an actor who was contacted by the casting studio very early and had already received the script for the film almost a month ago.

An old actor like Yang Zhiqing, although he is not very famous, his quality of life is not bad, and his achievements are not low, and he is willing to come to the crew of Xiao Yao, a hairy boy, because of this script and this role.

An experienced veteran actor is interested in the script and the role, and has been getting the script for a long time, of course, there is no problem with understanding the role. Yang Zhiqing talked to Xiao Yao about his understanding of the role of Principal Sun, and there were some things that even Xiao Yao, the screenwriter, did not consider when writing the script, and the scene also gave Xiao Yao some inspiration.

Of course, the performance of an actor is also a kind of artistic creation, and the main actors in film and television works will be counted in the category of "main creators", and it is not uncommon for actors to think more deeply and comprehensively than screenwriters and directors when studying roles through scripts.

After chatting with Yang Zhiqing about his understanding of the role, Xiao Yao selected a scene in the script for Yang Zhiqing to perform live.

In the script, Principal Sun is basically a group play, and there is no one-man show, Xiao Yao picked a scene in which Principal Sun stopped Pei Kuishan from locking up Zhang Yiman before the Americans came.

Sun Tingting, who played Zhang Yiman, has not yet returned, the actors for the two roles of Pei Kuishan and Zhou Tienan have not yet been determined, and there are no actors who cooperate with Yang Zhiqing on the scene. Xiao Yao can help say the lines of the three characters and Yang Zhiqing's lines, but as a director, he needs to observe Yang Zhiqing's performance, and he can't get out of the play, sitting on the side and saying the lines of the three people is even more weird, and it is easy for people to play, so he can only let Yang Zhiqing perform in the air alone, which is still relatively difficult.

However, Yang Zhiqing's performance was very good. Acting in front of the air and talking to three non-existent characters feels good in terms of expressions, words, body movements, and the overall rhythm of the performance.

Xiao Yao felt that Yang Zhiqing was quite suitable for this role, but he did not make a decision immediately. Because according to the information given by the casting studio, they found three suitable candidates for the role of Principal Sun, Xiao Yao wanted to see the performances of the other two before making a decision.

Judging from the information, the three actors who want to audition for this role are all veteran actors who are experienced in acting but not very well-known. Although Yang Zhiqing is the highest status of the three, Xiao Yao does not want to determine that Yang Zhiqing will play this role just because Yang Zhiqing enjoys state subsidies and has the title of a member of two artist associations. Anyway, when the movie is promoted in the future, Xiao Yao doesn't plan to use Yang Zhiqing as a point for publicity.

After Yang Zhiqing tried out this scene, Xiao Yao praised it sincerely, and told the other party honestly that he wanted to see the audition performances of the other two actors before deciding the ownership of the role. After Yang Zhiqing expressed his understanding, Xiao Yao switched from the identity of the director to the identity of the producer, talked to him in advance about the location of the filming and the living conditions that the crew could provide during the shooting, and asked the other party about the ideal salary.

When Xiao Yao asked the casting studio to help him with casting, he gave an approximate range of the actors' salaries for each role. The casting studio was able to contact Yang Zhiqing for an interview, which means that his value is in line with Xiao Yao's salary range, but when it comes to the specific salary amount of a certain movie, this still has to be negotiated between the actors and the crew.

Regarding Xiao Yao's description of the filming location environment and the living conditions of the crew, Yang Zhiqing said that there was no problem. Speaking of the salary, it should have been decided to let the agent talk to the crew. However, people like Yang Zhiqing are also a little different from ordinary celebrities, and the influence of his agent on him is limited, so he didn't bring an agent to the audition today. Since Xiao Yao asked, he also gave a salary amount himself. This amount, of course, is also within the expected range of Xiao Yao's heart.

After talking to Yang Zhiqing, Xiao Yao breathed a long sigh of relief very comfortably. Judging by the performance of this first auditionee, it seems that the casting studio is doing a good job. If every audition actor was like this, Xiao Yao's job would be much simpler.

But it's a pity that not every actor who came to audition was like Yang Zhiqing, and Xiao Yao's good mood didn't last too long.

When Xiao Yao sent Yang Zhiqing away, he found that the waiting room was still empty, and then the people in the casting studio told him that the second audition actor had not yet arrived, Xiao Yao's mood was not beautiful all of a sudden.

The casting studio notifies the actors to come to audition, and there is an approximate time for the audition.

Xiao Yao didn't say that he asked every audition actor to wait for him here in advance, but because he chatted with Yang Zhiqing about the script and the role well, Yang Zhiqing's audition took longer than originally expected. By the time they finished, they had actually exceeded the scheduled time for the second auditioning actor. It stands to reason that before Yang Zhiqing left, the second audition actor should have arrived at the casting studio and waited outside. At this time, the other party did not arrive, obviously late.

During the audition, it was normal for an actor to take longer than originally expected to audition, and Xiao Yao did not have any psychological burden. But if the audition actor is late, he can basically be classified into the ranks of playing big names, which naturally makes Xiao Yao feel a little unhappy.

Generally speaking, auditions for actors competing for the same role will be arranged next to each other, so that the director is impressed by the performance of several auditioning actors before and after, and it is easier to make comparisons and make better decisions. However, Xiao Yao has no concerns about this, and there have been changes to the requirements for the actors' schedules and audition times, so there are no more requirements in this regard, and the casting studio has not made such arrangements.

The second actor who auditioned today was not an old actor who auditioned for the role of Principal Sun like Yang Zhiqing, but a young actor who came to audition for the role of Zhou Tienan, a physical education teacher. Although Xiao Yao, who is also a young actor, has always been reluctant to admit it in his heart, but just in terms of the attitude shown by the first two audition actors today, Xiao Yao has to sigh in his heart that most young actors are indeed inferior to old actors in terms of attitude.

Xiao Yao waited in the audition room for about twenty minutes before the casting studio staff knocked on the door and came in to notify the second auditioner of the arrival.

The second audition actor is named Wan Haokun, 28 years old, graduated from the Acting Department of Huaxia Drama Academy, and his profession is only an actor. In the past few years since his debut, he has starred in four movies and six or seven TV series, but he has basically played supporting roles and has not played the leading role yet. Some of his film and television works are very popular, but he is not very popular.

Although Wan Haokun is not very popular, he graduated from a professional class, his appearance and acting skills are online, and with the accumulation of double-digit film and television works, he also has a certain popularity, at least in terms of the number of fans, he must be much more than an old actor like Yang Zhiqing. In terms of market value and influence, his salary should exceed the salary standard for this role set by Xiao Yao for the casting studio.

Wan Haokun can come to the audition, which means that he has lowered his salary for this role, and Wan Haokun usually doesn't have any messy news, Xiao Yao originally had a good impression of him, but being late for this audition directly made Xiao Yao's perception of him drop a notch.

Hearing that Wan Haokun had arrived, Xiao Yao directly waved his hand and asked the staff of the casting studio to notify him that he had come in for an audition.

Wan Haokun is a few years older than Xiao Yao, but purely in terms of debut time, Xiao Yao is earlier than Wan Haokun. When Xiao Yao won the Feitian Award for Best Newcomer, Wan Haokun was still studying in school and had not yet debuted. And when it comes to fame and influence, Wan Haokun can't be compared with Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao is kind to people most of the time in the circle, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a temper. When meeting a senior old man like Yang Zhiqing, Xiao Yao likes to be respectful, and it is not a problem to be polite and polite. If you meet someone who gives Xiao Yao a bad impression, Xiao Yao who is stronger than himself will not dump others, Wan Haokun is obviously inferior to him in all aspects, Xiao Yao will of course not be polite to the other party.

After the door of the audition room was pushed open, Xiao Yao couldn't help but frown again when he saw Wan Haokun and a young woman walking in together.

"Hello Director Xiao, I'm Wan Haokun, and I'm here to audition for the role of Zhou Tienan today. Wan Haokun said to Xiao Yao after entering the door, "I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road when I came, so I was late." ”

"Oh. Xiao Yao replied lightly, with a noncommittal expression on his face.

"Hello Mr. Xiao, I am Haokun's agent, my name is Li..."

"Wait," Xiao Yao interrupted with a frown and waved his hand, "Now for the audition, why is the agent coming in? Do you have to negotiate the conditions before the audition?"

"No," the young woman smiled and shook her head, "I don't think the audition is a performance as soon as it comes up, you should talk about Haokun's situation first." I'm afraid that there is something wrong with Haokun's answer, so I came in and helped him take care of it. When he auditioned, I sat on the sidelines, making sure I didn't bother. ”

"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, looked at Wan Haokun and said, "Mr. Wan..."

"Mr. Xiao, you are a director and a producer, so you don't have to be so polite. Wan Haokun's agent interjected, "You can just call him Haokun." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Yao glanced at the agent surnamed Li, turned his head to Wan Haokun and said, "Wan Haokun, I see that the information you gave to the casting studio is the same as the information on the Internet, and the height column is written in one meter eighty-seven." I want to ask, is this your real height?"

"This..."Wan Haokun hesitated.

"Why don't I stand up and compare with you?" Xiao Yao asked.

"No, I don't. Wan Haokun shook his head and said, "The height on the Internet and on my resume is fake, and my real net height is 1.82.5 meters." ”

"Mr. Xiao, now there are many celebrities who lie about their age, and it is more common to lie about their height. Wan Haokun's agent said, "Regardless of whether Haokun is 183 or 187, there should be no difference for him to play this role, right?"

"Of course there is a difference. Xiao Yao said, "The role of Zhou Tienan is very tall in appearance, and of course there are requirements for the height of the actor. Also, he is not the only character in this movie, when he appears in the same frame with other actors, the difference in appearance and height will be directly expressed on the screen, and the effect presented at that time is also one of the factors I need to consider. ”

"Then you mean to say that because he has a height difference of four centimeters, he has no chance?!" Wan Haokun's agent asked.

"It's not that serious. Xiao Yao said, "Now the actors of other roles have not been completely decided, so I can't have an intuitive impression of this image gap to consider whether 183's height is appropriate." I'm just first determining his true height. Now that we're here, we still have to do this audition. ”

"Now let's officially start the audition," Xiao Yao turned his head and glanced at Wan Haokun's agent, "Ms. Li, from now on, please don't make a noise again, otherwise I will have to ask you out." I know what you're doing, and when it's time to talk to you, I'll naturally call you in again. ”

"Okay!" Wan Haokun's agent nodded seriously.

"Let's talk about your understanding of the story and this character first!" Xiao Yao said to Wan Haokun.

"Let's talk about the character of Zhou Tienan first," Wan Haokun said, "I think this is a man who looks upright and hot-tempered, but is actually a hypocritical and cowardly man inside." I understand why you should find a tall actor to play the role so that there will be a visual impact..."

Wan Haokun's words quickly made Xiao Yao pull back some impressions of him in his heart. It's not that Wan Haokun said how correct or profound he said, after all, everyone's understanding of the role may be different, as long as there is no obvious difference with the director in the general direction, Xiao Yao is acceptable. The main reason is that Wan Haokun has obviously studied the script carefully, and this eloquent appearance is like what a dedicated and professional actor should look like.

In response to Wan Haokun's analysis, Xiao Yao also took out his understanding of the role and analyzed and discussed it with him. There was some argument between the two in the middle, but the overall atmosphere was good.

After chatting about the script and characters, Xiao Yao picked a scene in the script as usual and asked Wan Haokun to try out the play on the spot. Xiao Yao picked a scene where Zhou Tienan fainted and woke up and knelt down and kowtowed to the commissioner's gun. There is also no one to play, and Wan Haokun needs to perform in front of the air without physical objects.

I have to say that people from professional classes have a very good professional foundation. Wan Haokun kneeling and kowtowing without a little psychological barrier, just come and go, and he seems to understand the absurdity of this story very well, and the performance also shows a feeling that he has not exaggerated in his previous TV series.

On the whole, Xiao Yao is quite satisfied with Wan Haokun's performance. However, there are also three candidates for this role, and Xiao Yao did not finalize it on the spot.

When Xiao Yao also explained the situation truthfully, Wan Haokun's agent spoke.

"Mr. Xiao, when the casting studio communicated with us about the intention to participate in the early stage, it said the salary standard. Wan Haokun's agent said, "Haokun likes this script and this role very much, so he took the initiative to reduce the price to act." Our salary for taking this drama may be less than half of Haokun's normal salary. Although I don't know who the other two actors competing for this role are, I dare say that they are certainly not as valuable and famous as Haokun. In terms of box office appeal, it is definitely inferior to Haokun! Since you are satisfied with Haokun's performance, what else is there to consider?"

"It's good that I have a limited salary, but since you don't know who the other two actors are, how do you know if others have lowered their salaries like you to fight for this role?" Xiao Yao looked at Wan Haokun's agent with a smile and said, "Also, Wan Haokun's box office appeal is not within my consideration at all." ”

"What?" Wan Haokun's agent said unconvinced, "Which film crew doesn't consider the box office appeal of the actors when selecting actors? Even if they first consider the quality of the movie and whether the actors and roles are suitable, but when the actors are suitable, the higher the box office appeal of the actors, the better?"

"You have a point, and it is. Xiao Yao said, "But the three actors who have been confirmed in this movie are me, my girlfriend Sun Tingting, and Teacher He Ying." With the three of us in this film, do you think I still need to consider the box office appeal of the other actors?"

"This..."Wan Haokun's agent was silent.

Indeed, in the film and television industry, Wan Haokun and Xiao Yao and He Ying are not of the same level in terms of popularity and status, that is, Sun Tingting, a newcomer, with the title of Xiao Yao's girlfriend, and the gimmick of cooperating with Xiao Yao's couple, are much higher than Wan Haokun's topic. When it comes to box office appeal, there are these three people in the movie, and the others can really be ignored.
