340. Casting
After Xu Shi got up in the morning and washed up, he saw that the breakfast that had been prepared on the table was still the same at home, and there was no change.
This made Xu Shi suddenly feel as if he was not going out, but staying at home all the time.
There are also clothes prepared on the side, which are the same as at home.
For a while, Xu Shi suddenly felt a little dazed.
"Uncle, hurry up and eat, what are you doing standing there?" Zhao Xiaoqing said in a huff.
Xu Shi also came back to his senses and said with a smile: "This is coming." ”
At the dinner table, Xu Shi said, "What are you going to do next?"
"My fawn and I are going to look around and see the famous sights and stuff like that. Zhao Xiaoqing replied.
"Okay, but don't go to any dangerous places, and keep your phone open at all times. Xu Shi admonished.
"I know~ We're all so adults, we'll take care of ourselves. Zhao Xiaoqing said in a long voice.
"No matter how big you are, you have to be safe. Xu Shi glared at her angrily.
..........
Xu Shi came to Meida's company, first discussed some details with Meida's people, and when all this was discussed and the funds were ready, Xu Shi also began to prepare for casting with William.
To Xu Shi's great surprise, so many people wanted to audition for his new movie this time, and there were some famous stars among them.
"What did you tell Thomson? He was really willing to participate?" Xu Shi saw Thomson's name from the list.
William laughed: "You really underestimate these actors, especially excellent actors like Thomson." ”
"What do you say?" Xu Shi was a little puzzled.
"What you told him is true, all the characters in this movie are serving the protagonist, but don't forget, the characters are also played by someone, not the characters in the script you wrote.
Therefore, whether the characters in the script have personalities and highlights is not really important, it depends on the actors themselves.
A good actor is able to ..... Not....... As you Chinese people often say, turning rotten wood into magic, yes, this is it. ”
William uttered this sentence in broken Chinese.
"I have to say that the civilization of your Chinese people is really amazing, very gorgeous, and the wisdom that can be contained in one sentence is enough to make people marvel. William sighed.
Xu Shi smiled and said, "Haha, thank you, but these are the wisdom of our ancestors." ”
Xu Shi also understood what William meant, and his understanding of movies was still inferior to William's old practitioners.
"I'll leave the initial screening to you, I'll wait until they audition. Xu Shi said.
Xu Shi is not very familiar with the actors in Europe and the United States, so the initial screening work can only be handed over to William.
William also knew, so he didn't say anything, and instructed Xu Shi to invite him to dinner.
However, Xu Shi is not without anything, he just doesn't do his best to screen, and he still has to know some about the situation of some actors in advance.
William's efficiency was very fast, and on the third day, the preliminary screening was over, and preparations began for these actors to come to audition.
"Hey, I'm going to audition for the role of Jack. Thomson came in and said with a smile.
Of course, Xu Shi knew this, and responded with a smile: "I believe that with your strength, you can pass the test." ”
"Thank you. ”
After a few small talks, the audition began.
Thomson deserves to be the actor, he entered the play almost instantly, and he actually got more content about the script and the role than other actors who auditioned, after all, William was helping.
I saw that Thomson's eyes instantly became feverish, and his tone was a little trembling, but not scared, but excited.
"You don't understand, you don't understand the charm of a civilization that has been passed down for 5,000 years, especially since this civilization is still known for its mystery. "Thomson's performance is in place, completely presenting a character who is obsessed with one thing to the point of madness.
Xu Shi gave him a line, "I don't understand? Do you know what you're doing? You're acting against the sky, if you succeed, do you think of the consequences of things?"
"Haha, the consequences? No, that's a miracle, and once it succeeds, we can witness the birth of a miracle. ”
"Do you know who that is, and have you ever thought about the impact he will have on the world if he is resurrected?"
"Who is he? He is the Emperor of the Ages, his world-beating feats are unparalleled, and if he can be resurrected, it will be an honor for the world!"
.........
Xu Shi looked at this part of Thomson's performance and nodded slightly, worthy of being an actor, there is nothing to find fault with in this regard.
However, Xu Shi also became interested, and said to Thomson: "There is another scene next, if you can also perform it perfectly, then the role of Jack belongs to you now." ”
William didn't say anything when he heard it, he still trusted Thomson very much.
Thomson nodded and said, "OK." ”
"Do you need to take a break and calm down? Xu Shi said.
Thomson originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he nodded, in order to be able to get this role safely, it was better to be cautious.
Then William explained the script to Thomson, and Xu Shi was not idle here, and continued to start the audition.
Half an hour later, Xu Shi also finished the audition for the other actors who auditioned for the role, and Thomson was ready.
After Xu Shi nodded and said that he was fine, Thomson directly started to perform.
I saw that Thomson's whole person suddenly began to struggle, his face became extremely distorted, his head was in his hands, and the whole person squatted down, as if something was torturing him in his mind.
At the same time, his eyes began to change constantly, one moment iron-blooded, the other dazed.......
"Who am I? I'm Jack? I'm Meng Yi?"
"No.... Who the hell am I?"
..........
There are not many lines in this scene, many of them need to be matched in the later stage, but it is indeed an extreme test of acting skills.
Xu Shi and William watched it extremely seriously, and when Xu Shi said that as long as Thomson played this scene well, then it made sense to give him such a role.
This scene is difficult, don't look at it is just a few changes in expression, a few changes in eyes, but this is really extremely difficult.
And now Thomson has performed it perfectly, which proves his strength.
"Bang Bang!"
After Thomson's performance ended, Xu Shi applauded for the first time, and then everyone in the audience applauded, which was everyone's affirmation of Thomson's performance.
Thomson first stood in the middle to ease his emotions, and it was still difficult to brew this emotion.
"Thank you, thank you, Xu, I managed to take the role of Jack?" Thomson said with a smile.
Xu Shi nodded: "That's right, congratulations, your acting skills are indeed well deserved!"
"Haha, thank you. ”
